Chapter 22: For No Reason

Du Zijun's father was sick in bed, and Bai Shuqin offered to go and see it. The house was still muddy with only a shabby bed and a few cupboards. Due to the perennial drinking of medicine, the room is filled with a strong smell of medicine.

A middle-aged man on the bed was skinny and skinny from illness, but his eyes were blazing, and when he saw Bai Shuqin coming in, he kept staring at her face.

Du Zijun felt that his father was very impolite like this, and reminded him: "Dad, this is the third imperial concubine, you will scare her like this." ”

Bai Shuqin felt that his eyes looked like he was looking at an ancient person, so he asked him, "Have we seen each other?" ”

He coughed and shook his head, Du Zijun walked over and patted him on the back, picked up the medicine next to the bed and fed him to drink. After drinking the medicine, he eased up a little, and he looked at her: "You look like an old man I know."

Bai Shu Qin looks similar to her mother, which also makes Madame Bai hate her even more. She came to the bedside: "Can you tell me about it?" ”

Du Zijun's father looked like he had returned to the past, and slowly spoke: "When I was young, I once worked as an errand with a very good friend in the Bai Taiwei Mansion. You look very much like the woman my friend fell in love with. ”

Bai Shuqin knew who he was, but he didn't say anything, just asked, "That friend of yours, where is he now?" ”

There was a hint of desolation in his eyes: "That girl didn't want to go with him, he left alone." Maybe in the girl's hometown, maybe it's dead. We haven't been in touch for more than ten years, ahem! ”

Du Zijun also guessed that his father was talking about Bai Shu Qin's mother, but he had already said too much today. Du Zijun patted him on the back to make him a little more comfortable.

He didn't seem to want to say more, so he lay down and closed his eyes, and Du Zijun covered him with a quilt. Bai Shuqin didn't bother much, got up and left.

After Bai Bingbin learned from Bai Shuqin that she and Zhuo Jinxuan slept together, the whole person became depressed and couldn't get a drop of water. Xiaoqing wanted to comfort her when she saw her like this, but she obviously didn't listen to anything now.

After Zhuo Jinxuan dealt with the matter at hand, he wanted to go to see Bai Shuqin first, but Steward Li told him that she was out of the city early in the morning. For her behavior of not saying hello, he knew that she still didn't trust him from the heart, so he didn't force it, and one day she would take the initiative to tell him.

Before entering Bai Bingbin's room, Zhuo Jinxuan already felt that something was not right. The room was surprisingly quiet, and all the maids were cautious, and they didn't dare to come out.

Bai Bingbin had obviously just cried, and his eyes were still red. Hearing someone coming in, Bai Bingbin raised his head and saw that it was Zhuo Jinxuan, and couldn't help but shed tears again.

Zhuo Jinxuan's heart sank, thinking that Bai Shuqin had bullied her, and looked at Yinlan with a serious face: "What's going on." ”

Yinlan glanced at Bai Bingbin, who was crying, and took two steps forward to nod to him: "Back to the Third Prince, Miss Bai brought porridge and wanted to give it to you in the morning, and the slave told her that you are now living in the courtyard of the Third Imperial Princess." After you went, the third princess told her that you were gone, and asked the slave maid to put the porridge in her room. Somehow, Miss Bai looked like this when she came back. ”

After listening to her, Zhuo Jinxuan's hanging heart relaxed. He walked up to Bai Bingbin, pulled a chair and sat down, and handed her the handkerchief he was carrying: "What made you unhappy?" Tell me about it. ”

Bai Bingbin looked at him with tears in his eyes and a resentful expression. He opened his mouth to say something, but finally sighed, turned his back to him and began to sob.

He got up and walked in front of her and squatted down, reaching out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Are you angry about me living with Bai Shuqin?" ”

Seeing that he had guessed her thoughts, she cried even harder, and lay on the table and buried her face deep in the crook of her arm, her shoulders shaking slightly with the sobs.

Zhuo Jinxuan put the handkerchief on the table and patted her on the back: "I can understand your grievances, but I have worshiped heaven and earth with her, and it is normal for people to have sex together." I promise you that everything will be stable in the future, and I will reserve your place for you. ”

Bai Bingbin never expected him to marry her alone, but she couldn't accept that person was Bai Shuqin. In her heart, Bai Shuqin was a wild thing that her mother seduced her father to give birth to, and her appearance was still so ugly, how could she be worthy of her brother Jinxuan.

She believed that Zhuo Jinxuan would ascend to the throne in the future, and she must not let Bai Shuqin give birth to an heir before her. The convulsions gradually stopped, now she has to endure the humiliation, and one day she will make Bai Shuqin pay the price she deserves.

At this time, her mood had gradually eased, and Zhuo Jinxuan comforted her again, and finally made her stop crying. Xiaoqing took advantage of this time to hurriedly step forward: "Miss, you haven't eaten for a day, now eat a little." ”

It was already evening, and Zhuo Jinxuan said to Bai Bingbing: "I haven't eaten yet, let's eat here tonight." ”

Bai Bingbin smiled at this time and asked Xiaoqing and them to prepare quickly.

After Bai Shuqin came back from Du Zijun's house, he invited everyone in Zuixian Tower. She has always been generous to the people who help her do things.

It was already evening when she returned to the house, Qingluan opened the door for her, and Zhuo Jinxuan was unexpectedly not in the house. He seemed to have known the events of the morning, and was now about to comfort her at his lodgings in White Penne. Bai Shuqin had an indifferent face, if Bai Bingbin dared to say anything nonsense, she wanted her to look good.

When Bai Shuqin was about to go to bed after washing, Zhuo Jinxuan pushed open the door and came in. Qingluan stepped forward to take off his cloak, tidied it up and put it on the hanger next to the bed, and withdrew. The two had a tacit understanding and did not mention the matter of white betting.

These days have been unusually peaceful, Bai Bingbin has never stepped into her courtyard again, and Zhuo Jinxuan is still sleeping in her room.

She asked Du Zijun to call Yinlan, and casually flipped through the book and asked her, "What has Bai Bingbing been doing these days?" ”

Yinlan told truthfully: "Back to the third imperial concubine, Miss Bai has been embroidering and practicing in the courtyard for the past few days. ”

The calmer he was, the more Bai Shuqin felt abnormal. According to Bai Bingbin's temperament, he will not spare her easily, but there is no movement yet, maybe she doesn't know what kind of action she has.

In the afternoon of this day, Bai Shuqin and Du Zijun were scattered in the garden, and they saw Bai Bingbin and Xiaoqing also in the distance. Seeing each other, they didn't mean to avoid each other, and walked straight towards each other.

At the moment of passing by, Bai Bingbin sneered: "Some people really take the things they have stolen as their own!" But it has to be paid back after all! ”

Bai Shuqin stopped and glanced at her coldly: "Since I robbed it, I don't plan to pay it back!" ”

"I can't help you! Do you think you can sit back and relax when you sit in the position of the third princess? She chuckled: "In the end, it's not like your mother, there is no place to bury you when you die!" ”

After Bai Binbin said this, Bai Shuqin's face suddenly became solemn, she definitely didn't say it casually. Bai Shuqin turned around and scolded her: "What do you mean!" ”

Bai Bingbin ignored her either, just glanced at her with a triumphant smile and turned to leave.

Although Helan was not buried in the cemetery of Baifu after her death, Mrs. Bai remembered that she had finally given birth to a daughter for the Bai family and buried her in an open space on the edge of the cemetery. She hoped that Helan would be able to serve the ancestors of the Bai family well when she went there, so she would treat them as a funeral.

She grabbed her wrist hard, approaching step by step, and her voice was as cold as December wind and frost: "I'll ask you one last time, what did you mean just now?" ”

Bai Bingbin's wrist was pinched by her, her brows were tightly wrinkled, and she scolded her to let go.

At this moment, Bai Shuqin seemed to be a different person, and his face was cold like a messenger from hell. She gritted her teeth, grabbed Bai Bingbin's neck with her right hand, and lifted her ten centimeters off the ground.

Bai Bingbin's face was flushed, his feet hung in the air, and he wanted to kick her, but he kicked her in the air. She grabbed Bai Shuqin's hand tightly with both hands, trying to break her hand away from her neck, but it was really in vain.

Bai Shuqin looked at her with red eyes, and said coldly, "Don't say it, right?" ”

Xiao Qing hurriedly went over and hugged her hand, trying to save Bai Binbin, but was kicked aside by Bai Shuqin. Seeing that Bai Bingbin was about to break her breath, she couldn't care about the pain in her body, knelt in front of Bai Shuqin, and burst into tears: "Second Miss, please!" Everything is the idea of the lord and the lady, and it has nothing to do with our young lady, you can let her go! ”

Zhuo Jinxuan came back and heard that Bai Shuqin was in the garden, so he came directly without resting, but saw this picture. At this time, Bai Bingbin's face was already purple, and her eyes were half-closed, if she didn't let go, she would die.

He was still fifty meters away from them, and when he saw that it was too late, he roared at Bai Shuqin: "Bai Shuqin, what do you want to do, let go!" ”

Bai Shuqin let go of his hand when he heard the voice, and Bai Binbin's whole person was spread on the ground. Xiaoqing hurriedly crawled over and hugged her, put her fingers under her nose, and felt that she was still breathing.

Zhuo Jinxuan also came over at this time, and he checked the situation in Baibin. Except for the red fingerprints on his neck, which were a little stunned because of the fright, the situation was not very bad.

Bai Shuqin stared at Bai Bingbin and left a sentence viciously: "If anything happens to my mother, I must give her a funeral with the entire Bai family, and no one can escape!" After speaking, he turned around and left, and Du Zijun hurriedly followed.

Zhuo Jinxuan looked at her back as she left angrily and asked Xiaoqing what happened.

Xiaoqing's tears hadn't dried yet, and when she heard Zhuo Jinxuan ask her, she couldn't say why for a while. Bai Bingbin put his hands around his neck, and after a while, he gasped and explained to him: "I don't know why, she went crazy." ”

Zhuo Jinxuan frowned, with his understanding of Bai Shuqin, she was not a person who did things without measure. What's more, he had already greeted her, and she wouldn't do it for no reason.

Looking at Xiaoqing's expression just now, they must have done something to anger her. He knew that Bai Bingbin would not tell him the truth, and he would not ask any more questions.

Zhuo Jinxuan helped her up from the ground, and saw that there were five fingerprint-like bruises on her neck, and the whole person seemed to be a little dizzy, so he asked the accompanying guards to find Lang Zhong to come over.

Bai Bing Bing did not suffer any substantial damage, and the marks on his neck, Lang Zhong prescribed ointment, which can be eliminated in three days. After Zhuo Jinxuan appeased her, he was going to find Bai Shuqin.

Zhuo Jinxuan came to Bai Shuqin's room, but didn't see her.

Qingluan didn't know what was going on, but seeing that his face was serious, he hurriedly said, "The third imperial concubine went for a walk in the garden after lunch, and she hasn't returned to Ali yet." ”

After hearing this, Zhuo Jinxuan hurriedly went outside to find Bai Shuqin, but saw Steward Li running over, and after seeing him saluting, he hurriedly said: "Third prince, the old slave just saw the third imperial concubine and her entourage leaving the mansion, and her face didn't seem to be very good. Ask where to go, and they don't say. ”

Zhuo Jinxuan knew that it was not good, and from the only two sentences of conversation between the two just now, he guessed that Bai Shuqin should have gone to the Bai Family Cemetery, so he immediately ordered: "Steward Li, you arrange for someone to go to the Bai Mansion to investigate what happened recently, Qingluan, you rush to the Bai Family Cemetery with me!" ”

After leaving the mansion, Bai Shuqin went straight to the Bai family cemetery, looking for her mother's grave with the memories of her childhood.

The Bai family cemetery is not far from Jing'an Temple, occupying a hundred acres of hills, where all the ancestors of the Bai family sleep peacefully. In early autumn, the original verdant vegetation has begun to wither and turn yellow. The wind blew, and the leaves fell from the trees, making them look lonely.

Baifu spends a lot of money on repairing the mausoleum every year, but when you look at it from the outside, you feel that it is spectacular. In front of each tomb stands a black marble tombstone with the glory of his life engraved by their children.
