Chapter 20: Strange Beetles
When these words fell, the room suddenly fell silent.
Everyone couldn't help but look at Bai Tang.
The palace maid Yanru even subconsciously grabbed her sleeve, for fear that she would really be stimulated by the other party to do something stupid, and she was even more resentful of the Guogong Mansion in her heart.
The rest of the people looked at each other and didn't dare to make a sound, but Grandpa Guo slowly retracted his angry expression, but looking at Bai Tang's gaze was even more disgusted and cold.
However, Jin Rong Shizi regretted it a little after speaking, after all, Bai Tang was his biological daughter, although he didn't like it, but it was not to the extent that he wanted her to die, and he was just angry.
Only Mrs. Ru's eyes flickered, and the hands under her sleeves clenched unconsciously.
"That's true." After a while, the cold female voice sounded again.
Surprisingly, the tone was still the same as before, and nothing seemed to give her half a bit of mood swings.
Jin Rong Shizi was stunned for a moment, and met the other party's cold eyes.
The next moment, for some reason, anger rose from the heart again.
He gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "As long as you die, you will have nothing to do with the Guogong Mansion, and you can do whatever you want, but as long as you live for a day, don't think about leaving the Guogong Mansion." ”
This was said ruthlessly, making the palace maid glare angrily again.
But Mrs. Ru only felt a slight stinging pain in her palms when her nails pinched her hands.
has been married for more than ten years, how could she not hear the soft-heartedness of her husband's cold words.
She was about to say something, so as to provoke a dispute again, but she heard Bai Tang speak.
"So, I see." Bai Tang turned his eyes to look at the expressionless grandfather of the country, and his voice was steady and clear, "The twenty-eighth year of Qingli ......"
In a gentle tone, he read the old accounts of the Guogong Mansion unhurriedly, from how many slaves, wives and concubines were killed by the Guogong Mansion, to how many lives Bai Yun and other children had killed, how many evils they had done, and even what wives and concubines Mrs. Ru had harmed and how many heirs of the sons had been killed.
The more the crowd listened, their eyes widened, and their faces became more and more difficult to look at.
At first, I understood what he said, the grandfather and the prince were quite calm, after all, they were just slaves, and they were killed at will, which was not counted in the law, at most their reputation would be affected.
What's more, there will be fewer such things in any family, and it will not hinder them to spread out.
But the further down it goes, the more wrong it becomes, because it has already begun to mention the guilt of some government governments secretly collecting money.
"Shut up!" Grandpa Guo was about to speak, but Mrs. Ru rushed up first to try to stop her.
At this moment, her face was also extremely ugly, and her whole body was cold.
It's just because the things that Bai Tang said about her are true, and they are things that she thinks she hides well.
She didn't expect Bai Tang to know how she found out.
She has always been careful in her work, and she will never leave any clues for people to find, but Bai Tang's words made her whole heart freeze.
Her shrill voice almost pierced the sky, sending everyone in shock.
Yan Ru turned around, and as soon as her arm stretched out, she was unceremoniously pushed backwards, but fortunately she was supported by the maidservant.
The rest of the people also came back to their senses, and then remembered what they had just heard, and suddenly their faces were like ashes.
Bai Tang looked at Guogong indifferently, ignoring the other party's expression of eagerness to devour her alive, "Presumably my name has not been written in the family tree, and it doesn't have much effect if I don't sign or not, but I don't want to be involved with anyone in the Guogong Mansion or the Bai family. ”
Grandpa Guo clenched his fists tightly, staring at Bai Tang's eyes bloodshot, as if devouring people, the sentence 'you dare' turned around in his mouth, and finally swallowed it alive.
Because from her gaze, he read a point that she really dared to do it, and she would do it.
"Baitang, hello, very good! The old man underestimated you. His breath was a little rapid, and his hands were loosely clasped in the armrests of his chair, as if trying to calm his emotions.
After so many years of galloping officialdom, he naturally thinks deeper.
Originally, the people who saw her brought it only thought that the Queen Mother was building momentum for her, but now they don't think so.
He suspected that it was the queen mother's hand that used Baitang to knock on the Guogong Mansion.
Although Bai Tang read out the crimes about the Guogong Mansion is not big, but she can read these things, which shows that she still knows deeper things, how can she do it as a woman.
Thinking that these things were known to the monarch, Lu Guogong's face suddenly turned gray.
Bai Tang took the letter of renunciation and the gift list in Yan Ru's hand, raised his hand, and both things fell steadily on the desk next to him.
"Today, I'm sorry." After saying that, he turned and left, and his pace was as steady as when he came.
Yan Ru glanced at everyone's expressions with cold eyes, raised her hand and motioned for the guards to let go of those guards, and then left with them.
"Master, are you going back to the palace?" The carriage slowly left, Yan Ru sat outside, hesitated for a long time, and still cautiously asked inside.
She always felt that the cold appearance that the master didn't care about was pretending, and her heart must be extremely uncomfortable at this moment.
It's really hateful, how can there be such a family, the master is so good, how can he be so unfortunate to meet such a group of wolf-hearted cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.
In the carriage, Bai Tang was closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, and his heart did not fluctuate.
She had prepared for the breakoff a long time ago, but it was just just in case, and then it was put on hold.
If it weren't for Bai Yun's matter, she would almost have forgotten about it.
She doesn't have any feelings for the Guogong Mansion, but if this becomes an obstacle for her, then she will also cut it off neatly.
As for whether this matter will have an impact on her reputation once it gets out, this is not in the plan.
Fame is not in the mind at all.
She answered softly.
But the next moment, he opened his eyes and turned to the window next to him.
She frowned slightly, and raised her hand to open the window.
Immediately, a beetle flew in.
She raised her hand, and the beetle landed in her palm.
This beetle is about the size of a fingernail, and its whole body is turquoise, like a fine jadeite, crystal clear, and when it does not move, it seems to be carved from jade, which is very gratifying.
Beetles have a special grassy scent.
"Stop."
Hearing the sound, the driver hurriedly stopped the car.
Without waiting for outside to ask, Bai Tang opened the car door and got out of the car directly, "You go back to the palace first, and I'll go back later." With that, he turned and left.
"Eh, Lord, Master......"
Bai Tang followed the beetle, turned all the way, and finally came to the door of an inn.
"Guest officer, it's better to stay in the hotel." Xiao Er hurriedly greeted him.
The location of this inn is remote, and there are many people at the moment, so it can be seen that the business is not very good.
"I'm looking for someone." After thinking about it, he said, "White." ”
"Oh, it's the White Girl, isn't it?" Hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately spoke, presumably someone had instructed him before, "The person you are looking for is on the second floor and turn left to the third room." ”
Bai Tang nodded, went upstairs to find the corresponding house, raised his hand and knocked lightly on the door.
The door was quickly opened.
And when he saw the person who opened the door, Bai Tang's calm and waveless eyes obviously showed a little surprise, or rather, surprise.
