Xiao Zhiyuan guessed correctly, Bai Huaping's younger brother Bai Peng and others really arrived in the capital early the next morning, and then immediately sent someone to visit Bai Huaping's mother and daughter.

"Cousin Xian, cousin Jing!" A burly man with bronzed skin strode into Fuyun Pavilion and shouted.

Bai Huaping's mother and daughter turned their heads, and when they saw him, they immediately showed a surprised expression on their faces: "Yao'er, why are you here?" ”

"Yes, Cousin Yao, I haven't seen you for so long, and my cousins won't recognize you." Xiao Yixian said.

The person who came was Bai Peng's eldest son and Bai Yao, who was also Bai Huaping's nephew.

Bai Yao laughed: "I only came back with my father today, no, as soon as I entered the capital, my father sent me to see you." Auntie, cousin, how are you doing during this time? ”

Bai Huaping took his hand and said excitedly: "Okay, good, all right." It's hard for your father to think of me, and you go back and tell him that I'm all right. ”

Bai Yao said with a smile: "Your Majesty will hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow, and many officials and officials will go at that time, presumably aunt, you will also take your cousin to go, and then you and your father will be able to meet directly, isn't it better than me going back to tell you?" ”

Xiao Yixian said with a smile: "Mother, what Cousin Yao said is right, we will be able to meet our uncle tomorrow, and we can't say anything at that time." ”

"That's right." Bai Huaping smiled.

After a while of talking and laughing, Bai Yao suddenly straightened his face and said, "Auntie, I heard that Cousin Zijun is gone, I don't know where he is buried now, I want to go and see him." ”

Speaking of Xiao Zijun, Bai Huaping's eyes turned red all of a sudden: "Your cousin, your cousin is buried in the back mountain, and my aunt will take you to see him in a while." ”

Hearing this, Bai Yao's eyes widened in disbelief: "Buried in the back mountain?" Cousin Zijun is also the son of the Marquis of Zhongyong, he should be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family, and the spiritual position should also be placed in the ancestral hall of the Xiao family, how can he be in the back mountain? ”

Bai Huaping wiped his eyes: "It was your uncle who said that Zijun was unhappy in front of him, and His Majesty was extremely disgusted with him, so in order not to eliminate His Majesty's anger, he could only be buried in the back mountain first." ”

Bai Yao slapped the table suddenly: "How can this work?" Zijun's cousin is his uncle's eldest son, how can he be so wronged by him for this? No way! I'm going to go to him for a critique! So saying, he lifted his feet and walked out of the door.

Bai Huaping's mother and daughter hurriedly stopped him: "Yao'er! ”

"Cousin Yao, don't be impulsive!"

Bai Yao stopped, turned his head and said hurriedly: "Aunt, cousin, do you want your cousin to suffer such grievances after his death, and there will be no peace?" ”

Bai Huaping said: "I haven't pleaded with your uncle, but he insists on disagreeing, and I can't help it!" She sat down on the stool and muttered, "Jun'er, it's all my mother who is sorry for you!" It's the mother who is useless! ”

Xiao Yixian's sisters couldn't help but redden, Xiao Yijing walked to Bai Huaping's side and cried with her, crying and saying: "Mother, the death of the fourth brother has nothing to do with you, if it weren't for Xiao Yiran's cheap girl, how could the fourth brother be caught in Dali Temple, and he was beaten with a stick, and finally died of serious injuries!" ”

Bai Yao also endured his grief and asked, "Cousin Jing, I heard that there was a reason for Cousin Jun's death before I came. Now you say it's a guy named Xiao Yiran, so who is Xiao Yiran? ”

Xiao Yixian wiped the corners of her eyes and explained: "Xiao Yiran was born to my father's first wife and is our half-sister. It's just that she was sent to the suburbs since she was a child, so you haven't heard of her. A few months ago, my mother kindly considered that she was about to be married, and a girl's family could not stay in the suburbs forever, which would delay a lifelong event, so she begged her father to intercede and bring her into the house. ”

"However, our third sister doesn't know if it's really an unknown fate, since she came back, our Zhongyong Marquis Mansion has been plagued, and then she even insisted that the fourth brother colluded with the bandits, and wanted to assassinate her and Prince Yan, the fourth brother defended to no avail, and was imprisoned in Dali Temple, tortured inside, and beaten with a court stick, and died when he came back!" After saying that, Xiao Yixian couldn't support it anymore and Bai Huaping hugged their heads in pain.

"Damn! The same is true of this Xiao! What a femme fatale! Bai Yao slapped the table, his eyes were red, he gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely make that dead girl pay the price and avenge the blood hatred for Cousin Zijun!" ”

Bai Huaping said: "Yao'er, don't be impulsive! This Xiao is also scheming, and even we are frequently tricked, so don't be calculated by her. ”

Bai Yao sneered disdainfully: "Forgive her for being cunning, in the final analysis, it's just a yellow-haired girl whose hair hasn't grown yet, I don't believe it, I can't cure her!" ”

"Cousin Yao, what do you want to do?" Xiao Yixian asked.

Bai Yao smiled cruelly: "Isn't she going to leave the palace tomorrow to go to the palace for a banquet?" When the time comes, there will be many people, even if something happens to her, who will see it? ”

Xiao Yijing was taken aback: "Cousin Yao, do you want to kill her directly?" ”

"Hey~" Bai Yao shook his head: "Just let her die, wouldn't it be too cheap for her, let's torture her first, wouldn't it be more relieving?" Auntie, cousin, you don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own arrangements, and you just need to watch the show when the time comes. ”

Bai Huaping and the others looked at each other for a while, and wanted to remind him of something, but seeing Bai Yao's face full of confidence and coldness, they couldn't help but swallow their words back.

Here, Xiao Yiran was coming out of Zizhu Courtyard when he bumped into a person head-on.

"Who? What's going on? Walking without eyes? Bai Yao dusted off his clothes in disgust, and said angrily with a look of disgust.

Xiao Yiran raised his head and quietly looked at the tall young man in front of him, and bowed his head lightly to him: "Bai Gongzi." ”

"Do you know who I am?" Bai Yao pointed his fingers, looked at her from head to toe with interest for a while and asked.

"The one who can appear today and can be unhindered in this Zhongyong Marquis's mansion is probably no one else except my mother's mother's family." Xiao Yiran said lightly.

"Mother?" Bai Yao was stunned, "Are you the young lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion?" ”

Before Xiao Yiran could answer, he heard a shout from behind Bai Yao: "Young Master Bai! Young Master Bai! The master's study is not here, you should go over there, you should go back with the little one. ”

A little guy panted and ran to Bai Yao's side, and when he saw Xiao Yiran beside him, he immediately saluted her and said, "Third Miss." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Yiran nodded.

Completely different from her calm and calm, Bai Yao's eyes immediately changed after hearing the words of the little guy, and he re-examined Xiao Yiran with a gloomy face: "You are the third lady of the Hou Mansion, Xiao Yiran?" ”

"That's right." Xiao Yiran said.
