She sat alone on the steps for a while, and the crowd came and went in front of her. Lots of memories swirled through Bai Ling's mind, and she remembered many of the little things she had done since she arrived, of her family, and as if she had seen some kind of chilling future.

Owen Yalon's four established facts that were closely related to psychotherapy once again broke into Bai Ling's mind.

It wasn't until the sound of the blacksmith beating the goldsmith in the distance that Bai Ling came back to her senses, she gently patted the dust behind her, stood up with the basket on her shoulder, and her expression gradually calmed down.

As she passed by the blacksmith's shop, Bai Ling glanced sideways, and suddenly saw a number of daggers hanging on the walls of their shop, some inlaid with precious stones, some with intricate carvings, and she involuntarily stopped and stepped into the steaming shop.

When she came out again, a short dagger of the most modest was already in her basket.

Heikyo had very strict control over knives - but that was limited to blades with blades over a foot long, and civilians were not allowed to keep such weapons privately, and those who could travel with swords were not ordinary people.

Like this short knife, Bai Ling remembered that there were one or two at home, and she couldn't tell why she suddenly had the idea of buying a dagger, but if Bai Yi asked, she could say that it was for cutting ham, or ...... Just look at it and like it.

She could feel the weight of a dagger in the basket, and the weight reassured her.

When he was about to walk out of this alley, a middle-aged man in a long robe walked up, politely blocked Bai Ling's way, and bowed down to say hello.

Bai Ling looked at this person's face, took two steps back, and was about to go around and continue walking, the man said softly, "My old lady is over there, and I want to invite Bai Siyao to drink tea and talk." ”

The man raised his hand and pointed to a restaurant not far away.

"Old lady......" Bai Ling looked at him with some concern, "Old lady Qu?" ”

"Yes." The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, "If you have time at this time—"

"There's nothing to spare," Bai Ling said, looking at the basket, "the fish won't be fresh after a long time outside, so I'm in a hurry to go home." ”

Seeing that Bai Ling was talking and was about to leave, the man couldn't stand in the way anymore, so he had to chase to his side, and stretched out his hand to try to grab Bai Ling's vegetable basket, "There is a water tank in the restaurant, and I will take care of the fish of Bai Siyao, the old lady just has a few words to say to you, and let you go after speaking, and the fish will definitely be alive and kicking at that time——"

Bai Ling's footsteps stopped and looked at the middle-aged housekeeper, "What do you mean by 'let me go'?" ”

Only then did the housekeeper realize the offense in his words, and hurriedly slapped himself, his face was embarrassed, and he lowered his voice and said, "Bai Siyao, something really happened in the palace in the past two days, and I can't see you, my old lady really can't let go...... I haven't eaten well these days, I haven't slept well, the doctor has been looking for several rounds, and the news in the palace has been broken, except for the medicine, I really don't know who else to find, plus the Song Mansion has been handing over posts in the past two days, we ......"

Bai Ling looked at the tall building of the restaurant not far away.

She did plan to meet Old Madam Qu after Jin Yiwei's eyeliner was withdrawn...... Although the attitude of the Qu family is still as arrogant as ever, this really hasn't changed at all.

Bai Ling thought for a moment and interrupted the complaint of the housekeeper in front of him, "...... Lead the way. ”

……

Mrs. Qu sat in the private seat of the tea room on the fourth floor, overlooking the window here, and basically took the entire street into her eyes.

She had already seen the confrontation between her housekeeper and Bai Ling on the street—but the housekeeper seemed to be persuading her all the time, and from time to time she bowed down and put on a few smiling faces, which made the old lady Qu look angry.

Seeing Bai Ling coming towards her, she clenched the wooden staff in her hand and sat back in her place with a few quick steps.

There was a sound of brisk footsteps in the staircase nearby, and the old lady Qu stared at the stairs until the footsteps had reached the corner of three and a half floors, and then she withdrew her gaze and looked at the cup in front of her, with a light and light face.

"See you again, old lady." Bai Ling stood alone at the entrance of the stairs, empty-handed—the butler was waiting downstairs with her basket.

Bai Ling looked at the quiet fourth floor - Old Madam Qu should have wrapped up the entire fourth floor for this meeting, who made her refuse the invitation to go to Qu Mansion as a guest before.

"Sit down." Old Madam Qu tapped her fingers lightly on the table and motioned for Bai Ling to sit across from her.

Bai Ling glanced at the slightly low wooden chair and smiled, "I won't sit down, old lady, anyway, you didn't really invite me to tea......

As she spoke, she took a few more steps closer, "If there is anything to say, I will stand and say." ”

Bai Ling stood in front of the table, supporting the table with both hands, and looked straight at the old lady in front of him.

This inexplicable oppression made Old Madam Qu instantly uncomfortable, her jaw shook slightly, her left hand clenched into a fist, and landed heavily on the table.

"How dare you instigate Zheng Shu to touch the rouge at this time!"

"Didn't the old lady want to do the same before, no matter what means are used, the rouge must be removed before the mother welcomes back the little prince, there is no doubt about it." Bai Ling's voice was brisk, and he didn't seem to be deterred by Old Madam Qu's anger at all, "Besides, her parents were not picked up by me from Linxia, there are two thousand miles from Zhuozhou to Pingjing, and the Qu family spent a lot of money to settle the Yan family and his wife in the capital early, I'm afraid it's not to reunite the family as soon as possible." ”

Old Madam Qu's voice rose suddenly, "...... So you let Zheng Shu arrange for them to meet at this time, and then expose Rouge's fake identity on the spot!? Do you know what the consequences of stabbing this matter to the emperor at this juncture will be! ”

Bai Ling's expression was indifferent, "What consequences?" ”

"Don't pretend to be confused out there! You obviously know what the saint's attitude towards the Lin family has always been, even if people are detained in Dali Temple now, the emperor put the case there and delayed it, what does this mean Three-year-old children can also see it, you let Zheng Shu make such a fuss at this time, it will only make people feel that Chengqian Palace is falling into the ground! Wait for Lin to be released from prison in the future-"

Bai Ling chuckled softly.

This sudden laughter, with a bit of disdain, directly interrupted Old Madam Qu's anger.

Bai Ling reached out and gently flicked the lid of the teapot in front of the table, looking neither worried nor concerned about what Old Madam Qu said.

Old Madam Qu choked there for a moment, and this moment of shock quickly turned into even greater anger.

"Boling ——!"

"The old lady doesn't have to think about how to secretly solve the rouge behind her back," Bai Ling also raised her tone a little, looking at the old lady with round eyes on the other side, she said with a smile, "It's good to attack head-on like this." Not only solves the trouble, but also knocks the mountain and shocks the tiger. As for Lin's ......

"She can't get out."

Old Madam Qu was stunned.

She can't get out?

Who can't get out?

This girl who doesn't know the height of the sky...... Do you know what you're talking about!?
