Chapter 138: Intensifying Contradictions

Previous Chapter

But everything pays attention to one truth, Xiao Yiran has no evidence to be pointed out that she designed Bai Yao, so let her admit her mistake, how can she be willing?

Just as he was thinking about it, Steward Wu came in and said, "Master Hou, the third young lady is here." ”

Xiao Zhiyuan raised his eyes when he heard the sound, and saw a petite girl walking towards him, her face was pure and beautiful, her waist was slender, her posture was weak, and her slightly drooping eyes looked very moving.

This kind of appearance inadvertently overlapped with the shadow in his memory, which made Xiao Zhiyuan slightly stunned.

When Bai Huaping saw Xiao Yiran's appearance, her face immediately changed slightly, she subconsciously looked at Xiao Zhiyuan, and then her expression became more and more difficult to look at.

"The third sister is here, and your father and I are talking about you." Bai Huaping forced a laugh and deliberately raised his voice by a few degrees.

Xiao Zhiyuan came back to his senses, he stared at the daughter in front of him, and his eyes suddenly became a little complicated.

"Father, mother." Xiao Yiran blessed them with blessings.

"Hmm." Xiao Zhiyuan responded lightly, "Sit down first, you don't have to be so formalistic when your family eats." Seeing that Xiao Yiran stood helplessly after finishing the salute, he continued.

"Yes." Xiao Yiran sat down obediently.

"Ahem! Cough! She coughed twice.

This voice drew the attention of Xiao Zhiyuan and the others to her, and Bai Huaping hurriedly cared: "Third sister, what's wrong?" ”

Xiao Yiran covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said softly: "I want to come to the past few days when the weather is getting colder, and I accidentally contracted the wind chill." ”

"The change of seasons should have been noticed." Xiao Zhiyuan frowned slightly.

"Don't worry, master, I'll go and ask a doctor for the third sister to take a look." Bai Huaping said.

"It's time to take a good look, in case you fall ill......" Xiao Zhiyuan's words were not finished, Bai Huaping smiled and said: "Don't worry, master, the third sister is also the daughter of the concubine, and the concubine will definitely take good care of the third sister." ”

Xiao Yiran, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but squint slightly, it seemed that the couple wanted to play the emotional card.

At this time, Aster suddenly shouted outside: "Master, madam, there is a maid who said that she is here to bring a cloak for the third lady." ”

Xiao Yiran's eyes flashed, and he said to the white painting screen and Xiao Zhiyuan: "I felt a little cold on the road when I came, so I asked the maid to help me go back and get a cloak." ”

Bai Huaping asked Aster to let Xianglan in, Xianglan bowed her head and entered the house to give Xiao Zhiyuan and her a big salute first, and then carefully draped the cloak on Xiao Yiran's body.

"Are you Ran'er's personal maid?" Xiao Zhiyuan asked.

"Yes." Seeing him ask herself, Xianglan hurriedly bowed down and replied.

"The master is sick, you should think about this, don't wait for it to say it before running back to get the cloak, and make the master wait for so long."

Xianglan bowed her head in fear: "It's the negligence of the slave maid." The young lady has been a little frightened since she came back from the last palace banquet, so she has been coughing, but she has been holding on, and the slave maid has just given her medicine, and it is only when she comes back that she finds that those little maids did not bring a cloak, so she sent it immediately. ”

Xiao Zhiyuan frowned and interrupted: "Isn't your young lady infected with the wind cold?" ”

Xianglan shook her head: "In order not to worry Mrs. Hou, we secretly asked a doctor, and the doctor said that he was too frightened. ”

"Pandan!" Xiao Yiran severely stopped.

"Let her speak." Xiao Zhiyuan said coldly. He had heard about Bai Yao's affairs from the mouths of the people in Bai Mansion, but he almost forgot that these people would definitely be biased towards Bai Yao, for example, now he didn't know what happened at that time to make Xiao Yiran scared sick.

Xianglan seemed to hesitate, she secretly glanced at Xiao Yiran and said: "Young Master Bai Yao insisted in front of Concubine Zheng Guifei that the young lady designed to frame her, and wanted to kill the young lady with a dagger in front of the young lady, but fortunately, the envoy of the Chen Kingdom blocked the young lady in front of the young lady, which left a gap and allowed the attendants to restrain Young Master Bai Yao." ”

"Chenguo envoy?" Xiao Zhiyuan turned his head and looked at Bai Huaping suspiciously, he had never heard that the envoy of the Chen Kingdom was still present.

Bai Huaping was a little weak by him, they did add fuel and vinegar when they told Xiao Zhiyuan these things, but this was also so that Xiao Zhiyuan could hand over Xiao Yiran quickly, so that he would be Yao'er!

Xianglan continued: "The envoy of the Chen Kingdom also said that it is really unbelievable that Young Master Bai Yao did this, and he will talk to His Majesty about this matter after he goes back!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Zhiyuan's face immediately changed, and even Bai Huaping's face darkened: "When did he say such a thing?" ”

Xianglan shrank slightly: "It was after you left, Madam, that messenger said that he had never seen such a thing in the territory of Chenguo, so it was very novel, so he must say it." ”

This Si Tingnan! Bai Huaping bit her cheeks, thinking of his cynical appearance and not thinking of the excitement, she fully believed that he said it. How is this good? Bai Yao's matter was too late for the Bai family to suppress it, but he still had to go around talking about it! This made Bai Huaping almost vomit blood.

Seeing this, Xiao Yiran smacked her face, and she knew that saying this would have such an effect. Looking at Bai Huaping's aggrieved face, as well as Xiao Zhiyuan's sudden silence, she said: "Father, mother, I really don't know why Bai Gongzi insisted that I designed him, but I really didn't do anything!" You should believe the same, right? ”

She looked at Xiao Zhiyuan and Bai Huaping expectantly, her eyes were full of trust and expectation, and the two of them couldn't help but blush.

Xiao Zhiyuan coughed and covered up: "Of course my father believes in you. ”

Hearing this, Bai Huaping exclaimed: "Master! ”

Xiao Zhiyuan glanced at her nonchalantly, they were hiding such an important person from the envoy of Chenguo, but fortunately he came to Xiao Yiran and asked, otherwise he would really have to make a wrong decision.

Since Si Tingnan had stabbed this matter in front of Emperor Rui'an, it could be said that this matter had been nailed to Bai Yao's body all of a sudden. Man! They all have preconceived habits, not to mention whether Si Tingnan will add fuel and vinegar to say some bad things about Bai Yao when he talks to Emperor Rui An, just say that Emperor Rui An already knew that Bai Yao and the man had that kind of thing, and he still assassinated in front of Concubine Zheng, which had already broken his impression of Bai Yao.

In addition, Si Tingnan said that this kind of thing had never happened in the territory of their Chen Kingdom, and Emperor Rui An would definitely feel that Bai Yao had lost the face of their Li Kingdom when he heard this, and for the sake of the country's face, he would not spare him so easily. In this case, he is still thinking about how to save people here, and he has to exchange the daughter of the Hou Mansion, isn't that automatically going to the troubled waters?

"Sir?" Seeing that Xiao Zhiyuan was silent for a long time, Bai Huaping couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. Master, this won't be a change of mind, if he is unwilling to hand over Xiao Yiran with her, then Yao'er will be finished.

Xiao Zhiyuan ignored her temptation and said to Xiao Yiran: "Since you are sick, then go back quickly, don't blow any more wind." Forget about today's meal, and wait for your father to have a meal with you another day. ”

"Then I will take my leave." Xiao Yiran got up and left with Xianglan.

Her words have already come to this point, if Xiao Zhiyuan doesn't take the opportunity to make a decision, then he will be in vain to accuse the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion for so many years.

Seeing this, Bai Huaping felt a sigh in her heart, having been a husband and wife for so many years, she could already guess Xiao Zhiyuan's choice.

Sure enough, when Xiao Yiran's back disappeared, Xiao Zhiyuan said in a deep voice: "We should stop this matter of your mother's family as soon as possible, and we can't be involved anymore." ”

Bai Huaping's face turned pale: "But in this case, what kind of face will the concubine have to face her brother and them in the future." ”

Xiao Zhiyuan frowned and said, "But didn't you hear the words of the maid just now?" His Majesty already knew about this matter, and he must not release Bai Yao so easily. No matter how much effort we make now, it will only be a waste of water. ”

"But, but, as long as the third sister admits that she designed to frame Yao'er, Yao'er will be able to come out."

Xiao Zhiyuan lowered his face: "Even if she admits this, it will be able to erase the fact that your nephew slept with a man and committed murder in front of the concubine." ”

"Sir!" Bai Huaping's face suddenly turned blue and white.

Xiao Zhiyuan got up and said, "Can't!" If Ran'er admits this, then our Zhongyong Marquis Mansion will have a vicious and scheming daughter. Is this what you want to see? ”

Bai Huaping was speechless.

"Rather than two families losing face together, it is better to save one family. What's more, don't forget, you are my Xiao family or the Bai family! After saying that, Xiao Zhiyuan left without looking back, leaving Bai Huaping stunned in place.
