Chapter 970: The Tea Is Cold
"Why did the emperor do this?" The old lady really couldn't figure it out.
Hakuzuru took a deep breath, "Grandmother still doesn't understand?" The reason why the two highnesses were taken away was to prevent them from interceding for my Bai family. So who do you want me to protect? I can't protect anyone, I can't even protect myself. I finally managed to figure out a way to get out of the dead with my whole family, but unfortunately you don't want to, and you insist that we all be buried with that bastard son, and I have no other way. ”
"What unforgivable thing did your father do?" She asked Hakutsuruan, "Is it treason?" ”
Hakuzuru shook his head, "No. ”
"Is that a traitor to glory?"
She still shook her head, "Not really." ”
"None of these are these, so what else can cause trouble to the Nine Clans? Ah Ran: Are you going to make too much of a fuss? You have made so many contributions to the Eastern Qin, everyone says that you have great merits, you are a child of the Bai family, and it is impossible for the imperial court not to give this merit to the Bai family. If your father hadn't committed the great crime of treason, he wouldn't have been condemned to the Nine Clans! ”
"Why can't you be punished?" She squinted at the old lady, "My merits are my merits, what does it have to do with him Bai Xingyan and your Bai family?" If the imperial court can really pardon my crimes based on merit, it will only pardon my crimes, and the rest of the Bai family can't eat my melon brand, and they can't take advantage of me. ”
"Ah Ran!" The old lady begged with a begging face, "You can't be so ruthless, can't you look at your grandmother's face and help the Bai family this time?" Your father has been very bad to you, but I have never been bad to you, you used to lack food and clothing, and I secretly helped you, otherwise you think you can live until now? You'd have died in that dark little courtyard long ago! ”
"It's true that he's long dead." She took a deep breath and told the old lady, "Your granddaughter has long since died, and on the way back from Los Angeles, she was stabbed to death with a poisonous needle and pushed to the bottom of the cliff. As for me, apart from my appearance, what other point do you think I look like your granddaughter? Do you really think that you can practice a double body of medicine and poison in just three years, and you don't really think that you can practice a body of kung fu in just three years, and then come back in style to bring glory to the family and win glory for you, right? ”
The old lady's face turned pale, and she asked her tremblingly, "Ah Ran, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that you are a fake? She looked at the granddaughter as she spoke, and shook her head as she looked at it, "No, you are Ah Ran That's right, I know my own granddaughter." Although you have been locked up in that small courtyard for so many years, I have not been to see you, not to mention that I see it every day, and I will go there every few days. I remember what you look like, and I still remember it even if I have been away from Beijing for three years, it can't be not. ”
"What can you do just by remembering what you look like? Appearance is the most unreliable thing in the world. Bai Heran smiled, facing this old lady, she didn't have much grievances in her heart at this moment. Regardless of whether the old man really loves her granddaughter, and no matter who the old man finally chooses in front of his granddaughter and son, it is a game between Bai Xingyan and the dead original owner.
And she, who is just an otherworldly soul who borrowed this body, does not belong here, so why should she participate in this dispute? Even if it is Bai Zhenzhen and Bai Yanyu, she can treat them as friends, but they are not real relatives.
"Old lady." She talked about the authenticity, "Actually, you should be glad that I am not your real granddaughter, because if the real Bai family's concubine comes back, I am afraid that she will not recognize anyone in this family." She would even crash to death at the gate of the Wenguo Mansion, drawing a line with the Bai family in this decisive way. That mansion brought her so many painful memories that she wouldn't want to go back. ”
Bai Heran picked up the tea cup in front of him, tasted it shallowly, and then shook his head, "The tea is cold." ”
The old lady sighed in her heart, the tea is cold? People haven't left yet, how can the tea be cold? If the tea is cold, then the person is gone.
After all, this granddaughter can't be kept, whether it's true or not, she can't keep it. She felt uncomfortable in her heart, and she also felt sorry for her Ah Ran, but she couldn't watch her son die, she was a mother, she really couldn't do it!
"Ah Ran, you tell your grandmother the truth, what kind of crime did your father commit against the Nine Clans?"
Bai Heran glanced at her and said lightly: "Old lady, your son sleeps with the imperial concubine." ”
"What?" The old lady was stunned, only to hear a plop, and her heart sank to the bottom.
Sleeping with the princess? Sleep with the princess! This is indeed a capital crime, which is enough to punish the capital crime of the nine clans.
She thought that as long as it was not treason, it would be fine, but she didn't expect that there would be such a trick. How dare her bastard son do such a thing? Why didn't he think about such a big family when he did it?
The old lady closed her eyes tightly and shook her head back and forth. It was a manifestation of extreme pain, I couldn't shed my tears, I wanted to vent and it was not an occasion, so I held it in my heart, if it wasn't for the body being dyed and conditioned by the white crane, I was afraid that I would not be able to hold on to it for a long time.
The second lady Tan saw the old lady's appearance, and she had nowhere to vent her anger in her heart, so she had to pull Guan and beg bitterly: "The third family, you give me an idea, what should I do about this?" You have a closer relationship with Ah Ran, why don't you ask her and see if she can help us? What did she say to the old lady just now? Why didn't I hear clearly, was I talking about Bai Xingyan's sin? ”
The Guan family didn't hear what Bai Heran was talking about, but looking at the old lady's appearance, she thought that she should have said a crime, and even if this crime was not treason, it should not be too bad, and the Jiu clan couldn't avoid it.
Everyone wants to live well, and Kwan is no different. No one wants to die suddenly halfway through their lives. In particular, this kind of death caused by others is more embarrassing than his own death.
So at this moment, Guan and Tan are thinking the same thing, and she is also thinking about how to avoid this disaster and not be implicated by Bai Xingyan. She still has a daughter to marry, and a son who has not grown up, how can she watch her children being beheaded?
Guan began to think about a way out, but she was different from what Tan thought of, Tan could only rely on Bai Heran, but what she thought about was whether the merits of her husband, Bai Xingcang, the general of the expedition to the north, were enough to keep the whole family alive.
Tan shook her a few times, and seeing that Guan was only contemplative and had no other reaction, his heart became even more anxious, so he simply got up and sat down beside Hong, and said to Hong's with a half-crying face: "Little sister-in-law, what should I do, you can think of a way!" ”
The Hong clan snorted coldly, and glanced at the old lady again, "The way Ah Ran has already thought of for us, as long as we follow her method, we can get rid of Bai Xingyan, and we will no longer be a family with him from now on." It's a pity that our beloved old lady doesn't agree, she must live and die with her son, and even drag us to die together. What else can I do? ”
The Lin family on the side was also in a hurry, firstly, she was anxious about the matter of the Nine Clans, and secondly, she was mainly anxious about Bai Yanyu.
She has been in the palace for a long time, and everyone in the Bai family has seen it, why is there no Bai Yanyu? Where did this go?
Tan was still talking to Hong, Lin couldn't sit still, got up and walked to Bai Heran, leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Ah Ran, have you seen Yan Yu?" Where did she go? ”
Bai Heran shook his head, "I haven't seen her since I entered the palace, I heard that she was called by Princess Yan, Aunt Lin can rest assured, it will be fine." ”
Lin's heart suddenly burst into his heart, and he asked again, "Is it really okay?" Ah Ran, I know you'll be fine, but I also know you can't protect a few people. So when that time comes, you must not care about me, just ask you to take care of Yanyu and let her live. ”
When she had finished speaking, she straightened up and looked at the old lady again. At this time, the old lady could already open her eyes, but the person was still stunned, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The Lin family endured and endured, but finally couldn't hold back, and said: "I am the concubine of the Bai family, so I am not qualified to call you mother, I have always been honored as an old lady all these years." But I have now been divorced by your son, so today I will only call you Old Lady White. Old Madam Bai, you may not know it, if it weren't for Ah Ran returning from Qingzhou and going back to your home immediately after returning from Qingzhou to treat your illness, you would have become a steamed bun in the ancestral tomb of the Bai family by now, and if we want to talk to you, we will have to rely on burning paper. Your life was snatched back by Ah Ran, where did you get the confidence to accuse her? Old Madam Bai, you have to speak of conscience, what is your own son, you know in your own heart, is he really worthy of everyone to bury him? ”
"Shut up!" The old lady squeezed out such a voice from her throat, which was depressing and heartbreaking. "Slut, just a concubine, where did you get the qualifications to talk to the old man like this? The concubine is the most shameless existence in this world, you don't deserve to stand in front of the old body and get aside! After saying this, he even glanced at Guan fiercely, thinking that he might have thought that Guan's man was born to a concubine, and he was also the concubine of the old lady, so he was angry for a while!
Lin didn't say anything more, went back to sitting, until Bai Heran tilted his head to look at the old lady, pondered for a while and said: "I have always been unable to understand a question before, that is, why would a kind, kind and sensible person like you, old lady, give birth to a son like Bai Xingyan?" There is also the second uncle, who is also not enterprising, just stretches out his hand to ask for money, eat and drink. On the other hand, the third uncle, although he is the concubine of a concubine, has made contributions to the country and the enemy, and is the existence of a top hero. Why is the concubine so good, but you are crooked? Today, I understand that the so-called three views are not correct, and they are really hereditary. ”
