Chapter Twenty-Three: The Man Behind the Scenes

was slandered by Wen Yiyu for stealing things, after receiving a little 'grievance award' from Bai's, Wen Yi thought that it would be like the previous few times, but she didn't expect that the development of this matter would be fueled by people with good intentions, and the final result was completely different from what she originally thought.

"Madam, I heard from someone that the master was in a very bad mood when he came back, and now he is staying alone in the study, do you want to go over and have a look." Kuzhu was beating his legs while observing Bai's face.

"Any idea what's going on?" Bai opened his eyes and looked ahead with a hint of tiredness in his eyes.

During this period of time, Wen Yiyu's uncontrollable temper made her tired, and every mistake she made was that she was helping her with the aftermath, and after every aftermath, she repeatedly told her not to trouble the concubine, just let her stay alone in that yard and fend for herself.

But she didn't listen to her, even if she was in trouble with the concubine, she was angry with her, didn't meet her, and said that she stood on the side of the concubine and ignored her, these are the reasons why she is exhausted.

"I don't know, I just know that from the moment the master stepped into the mansion, his face was very bad." Kuzhu looked at Bai's tired face, she was also distressed, her own young lady had done so many things for the little lady, but she still didn't appreciate it.

"In that case, I won't go, save the bad luck." Bai closed her eyes again, and Kuzhu continued to beat her legs, but compared with before, this time the action was lighter, as if she was afraid of affecting her rest.

It's a pity that it didn't take long for the tranquility to be broken, and someone from Wen Zhengqing's side came.

"Madam, sir, please come over."

"It turned out to be Mr. Wen, hurry up and serve tea." Bai Shi gave an order to the maid behind him.

"No, the old slave came over to bring a message to the master, telling the lady that the master has something to look for you, and I hope you can hurry over." Mr. Wen refused to let Bai Shi serve him tea.

"Since Mr. Wen is in a hurry, then I won't delay your time, but I want to ask if you know why the master is looking for me?" Bai walked up to Manager Wen and said with surprise in respect.

"The old slave doesn't know very well, but I heard from the little guy next to the master that the master seems to have heard something about Miss Shu outside, and then his face is not good." He said everything that should be said, and it depends on what she does next.

Miss Shu? The warmth of living in the new yard?

"Thank you, manager, please tell the master that I will come over later." After getting the valuable information, Bai glanced at Kuzhu, who immediately walked up to Manager Wen and handed him something, who took it without saying a word and hid it in his sleeve, and then left.

"Ma'am." Kuzhu's gaze stayed on Bai's body, and she wondered what to do now.

"Don't make a noise, I'll think about it, I'll think about it." Bai Shi lingered in place, her mind recalling the hint that Manager Wen had just given.

When Wen Zhengqing came back, he heard people outside talking about the concubine, and then he got angry, and now the question is what the people outside are talking about about the concubine? And this matter is still very important to her husband, and it is worth his anger.

She carefully recalled the recent events on Wen Yisui's body, the yard was smashed, and she was slandered for stealing things, these things are not big, they are not small, she has dealt with them properly afterwards, there shouldn't be any problems, right?

Is that related to her eldest daughter Wen Yiyu? After all, everything that happened to that concubine was due to her precious eldest daughter.

But the man didn't mention the name Wen Yiyu just now.

Bai Shi fell into deep thought, Kuzhu was anxious, Mr. Wen had been away for a long time, but Mrs. had not gone out yet, she was afraid that if the master did not see his wife after a while, he would be angry, and she had no choice but to interrupt her thinking.

"Madam, it's not too early, it's time for us to leave for the master."

Bai Shi came back to his senses, looked at the sky outside, and hurried to Wen Zhengqing before he had time to tidy up.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier." Bai scolded the withered beads as he walked.

It was hard to say anything, so I chose to bear it silently.

After the reproach, Bai Shi also reacted, she shook the hand of the withered beads, and said with a little guilt: "Mama, I was in a hurry just now."

"The old slave knew that the lady was anxious, so he didn't take it to heart." Kuzhu lowered her head, there was really no trace of reproach in her eyes, because she knew that Bai's words were not intentional, but just unscrupulous words in a hurry.

Bai Shi didn't speak, and nodded with satisfaction.

When she walked outside the door of the study, Bai Shi didn't rush in, she asked Kuzhu and the others to wait for her outside, she was afraid that Wen Zhengqing's anger would affect the people around her.

A second before stepping into the door, she took a deep breath, restrained the tiredness on her face, replaced the dignified and elegant lady and walked in with a calm step.

As soon as the door closed, she was greeted by a broken teacup.

"Bai Qinglian, didn't I let you take a good look at your daughter, why did you still let her do that kind of thing?" Wen Zhengqing glared at Bai angrily.

The two have been married for so many years, and it was the first time he threw the tea cup in front of her, so she knew that he was really angry this time, so she knelt down without the slightest hesitation, and said with a blank face: "Master, what are you talking about, the concubine can't understand."

She really didn't understand, because she had never asked her daughter to do anything for her.

At this time, the Bai family didn't associate what Wen Yiyu did with Wen Zhengqing's anger at all, after all, Manager Wen's prompt only mentioned Wen Yisui, and did not mention her two daughters.

"You don't understand?" Wen Zhengqing walked up to her and bent down to look at her, if his eyes would eat people, Bai Shi would have been eaten by him at this time.

"Whether the master believes it or not, the concubine really doesn't understand." Bai Shi was anxious, if she knew what was going on, she wouldn't have sat back and waited like now.

The old husband and wife for many years have made Wen Zhengqing absolutely know a lot about the person next to him, so the blankness in Bai's eyes was captured by him, which made Wen Zhengqing, who was still angry, feel strange.

He thought for a moment before he said to Bai, "Tell me everything that happened recently."

What's happened recently? Isn't it something to do with that concubine? Bai laughed at himself in his heart, his path of power and scheming was really the most important one.

For the sake of his daughter, Bai filtered all the words he wanted to say in his heart.

"What's happened lately has something to do with Yu'er." Then she said what Wen Yiyu did to Wen Yisui.

When Wen Zhengqing heard Wen Yiyu slandering Wen Yisui for stealing things, and Bai did not come forward to help her clarify afterwards, but gave some gifts and exposed them lightly, he couldn't help but drop a teacup.

"Why didn't you tell the truth then?" Say it, and there won't be such rumors out there.

"Tell the truth? If she tells the truth, Yu'er will have an arrogant and domineering reputation, which makes her find someone in the future? Bai Shi looked at the man in front of her with red eyes, she knew that he liked power and status, but she never thought that the reputation of her own daughter was not as good as the reputation of a concubine.

"So you're going to send someone out and spread rumors that she's stealing? Are you going to put your false stigma on the ground? Wen Zhengqing yelled at the Bai clan, his eyes widening like copper bells.

Usually she has a little fight in the backyard, but about the concubine, he has already told her that he is not allowed to do excessive things to her.

It's not a big deal to slander her for stealing things, but it's her audacity to spread the news out of the house, doesn't she know that she will damage her concubine's reputation by doing so? The damaged reputation, even if it is just a concubine, is not qualified to enter the high-ranking family of the General's Mansion.

Wen Zhengqing's words made Bai's face full of astonishment, she looked at him in shock, and her mind was still recalling what he had just said, he said, I sent someone out to spread rumors, he said that I wanted to confirm the false stigma of that concubine?

What would happen if the stigma of that concubine was confirmed? Her brain is running fast, her reputation will be damaged, and even if she is a concubine, she will not be able to enter the General's Mansion, she can only be a concubine for ordinary people, she can't be a concubine in the General's Mansion, so he will let his daughter take the place of the concubine?

"I don't, I really don't." Bai Shi panicked, and she hurriedly defended: "Master, although I didn't clarify the rumors that day, but I sent her something, doesn't this mean that she was wronged?"

"As for the rumors outside, they really have nothing to do with me."

Wen Zhengqing frowned and didn't speak, he was thinking about the truth of her words.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Bai Shi continued to defend himself: "Master, you think, if I really do this, it will do me all kinds of harm and no benefit, and the reputation of the concubine is gone, and the lord is very likely to let Yu'er or Hua'er take her place at that time, which is not what I want to see at all, so ...... So how could I possibly do that? For the sake of my words and paintings, I would never do this. ”

"You're telling the truth, not lying to me?" Wen Zhengqing was obviously moved by her words.

"Absolutely." Bai raised his right hand and made an oath.

"Since you didn't do it, who would have done it?" Wen Zhengqing fell into doubt, and Bai also fell into a short period of thought.

"Master, could it be that she did it herself?" That she refers to Wen Yisui.

Wen Zhengqing thought for a while, and waved his hand to indicate that it was impossible.

"It can't be her, her previous identity was a maidservant, and now she is just a rootless concubine, she has no capital, it is impossible to do such a thing."

This is also one of the reasons why he recognized her back and asked her to be a concubine in the General's Mansion to win over the powerful for himself.

"Who could that be?" Bai stood up and followed Wen Zhengqing's side, she also wanted to know who was behind the scenes.
