Chapter 67: Sure enough, it's a ghost

"I've also thought about it, but it doesn't really matter, after all, only a few people know about the fact that my uncle was poisoned, and the thief will definitely not dare to publicize it, otherwise wouldn't it be true to the evidence of his crime? We don't have to make our words clear, just let the eldest aunt pretend, neither admit nor deny, and when the time comes, just say that it is a misunderstanding, and it will be okay! Bai Mu Hibiscus said.

Old Madam Lu also thought for a moment before she said, "You are really a ghost, hehe...... In this case, there will be no worries, I will find a time to discuss with your uncle and aunt, if they also agree, they will do it according to this method, and the person who poisoned will be found out! ”

Bai Mujin nodded, the fewer people who know about this matter, the better, otherwise it will indeed cause great harm to the reputation of the eldest uncle, and a man is infertile, isn't it shameful?

After lunch, Bai Muhiscus was about to say goodbye and leave, but he didn't expect that his grandfather, who he hadn't seen for a long time, would return home early and meet him in the old lady's house.

"Jin'er asked her grandfather to say goodbye, I haven't seen you for a long time, my grandfather is still old and strong, and his demeanor has not diminished at all!" Bai Mu Hibiscus saluted Prime Minister Lu Cheng in a regular manner, but said some naughty words, which made Lu Cheng look sideways at Mu Ne's granddaughter in this impression.

Prime Minister Lu laughed, and pretended to be serious: "You girl, when did you become so talkative?" ”

"Jin'er is telling the truth, how can it be called a trick? Just listening to your loud laughter, grandfather, you know that you are full of energy, and you are no worse than the young man in his prime! Bai Hibiscus replied with a smile.

A few words made the old prime minister more and more happy, and even Mrs. Lu, who was watching from the sidelines, smiled happily and said: "Old man, don't you know, Jin'er is now more and more able to speak, and every time she comes back, she coaxes me to smile, and I am reluctant to let her go!" ”

Prime Minister Lu naturally knew that his wife was very fond of his two grandsons, but he had never been so happy when he saw Bai Hibiscus in the past, but he was occasionally a little sad, saying that Jin'er's temperament was too cowardly, and there were some wooden, which made people very worried.

Prime Minister Lu stroked his beard, smiled from ear to ear, and said, "Did you hear it, I have time to accompany your grandmother, she is thinking about you and Brother Chen!" ”

"Jin'er has written it down, next time, I'll bring Chen'er with me!" Bai Hibiscus replied obediently.

After talking and laughing with the two old men for a while, Bai Muhibiscus took Rui Mama and they were ready to go back, if it was too late, she was afraid that her impatient father would blame her again.

As soon as he returned to the Lu Mansion, before he had time to take a sip of tea, he was invited by Tourmaline to Tangli Garden, and seeing Bai Shizu's eager eyes, Bai Hibiscus knew that he must have been waiting here for a long time to hear her news.

sneered in her heart, her good father is indeed an "infatuated person", and now she is so interested in Mu Xinping, but do you remember how she asked to marry her mother back then? Such enthusiasm can be transformed several times in just a short time, and a man's affection is actually the biggest affection.

Although he felt uncomfortable, Bai Mujian had a happy face on his face, stepped forward to salute Old Madam Bai and Bai Shizu, and then stood there with the eager eyes of the two, but deliberately did not speak first.

After all, Old Madam Bai was calm, so she asked her to sit down first, and then said, "What did your grandmother tell you today?" ”

These words were naturally asking about Bai Shizu and Mu Xinping, but Bai Muhibiscus pretended not to know, and instead said: "Grandmother, I have a happy event to tell you here, today I asked my grandfather to recommend Brother Chen to Mr. Dongfang as a disciple, if things can be done, then Brother Chen's future is limitless!" ”

When Mrs. Bai heard this, her eyes lit up, although she was still concerned about Bai Shizu's marriage just now, but when she heard the words of Mr. Dongfang, she immediately put Bai Shizu aside, and asked urgently: "But really?" Oh, this Mr. Dongfang's name is like thunder, I heard that he rarely accepts apprentices now, how did you say that your grandfather was moved? ”

"Huh...... This matter is not yet accurate, my grandfather just promised to help introduce it, and it depends on Mr. Dongfang's meaning whether to accept it or not, but I think with Brother Chen's intelligence, I think there is still a great chance of coming, so I will first tell my grandmother and father, and listen to your opinions! Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled and spoke very cautiously.

Old Madam Bai was already excited just when she heard the opportunity, and hurriedly said: "What else do you have to say, if you can let Brother Chen worship under Mr. Dongfang, then not only will Chen'er have a bright future in the future, but even our Guogong Mansion will have a long face, why not?" You must urge Brother Chen to prepare well, but you have to fight for this rare opportunity! ”

Although Bai Shizu was a little happy when he heard this, Mu Xinping next to him secretly gave him a look, and he remembered "business", so he coughed lightly twice, intending to remind Mrs. Bai that she should care about her son's affairs.

But Old Madam Bai didn't seem to notice it, but repeatedly told Bai Mujin how to pay attention to helping Bai Muchen, so that his grandson could become a senior disciple of Mr. Dongfang, and his future achievements would definitely be much higher than Bai Shizu's, and it was just around the corner to pay homage to the marquis.

Bai Mujin also pretended not to know, and only echoed the old lady Bai to speak, but secretly looked at Bai Shizu and Mu Xinping's eyebrows and laughed.

After a long time, Bai Shizu finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked a little embarrassedly: "Jin'er, when you went to your grandfather's house this time, did your grandmother tell you something else?" ”

Bai Mu Hibiscus was slightly surprised, looked at Bai Shizu as if puzzled, and asked, "What is the father referring to?" ”

Bai Shizu's old face was red when she asked, this kind of thing is indeed a bit inappropriate to tell his daughter, but he is really anxious, after all, Mu Xinping has mentioned it to him many times in private, if he doesn't solve this hidden worry, he is afraid of hurting the heart of the beauty.

So he stubbornly said: "It's for the marriage of my father and your cousin!" ”

Old Madam Bai glared at Bai Shizu, she really didn't like him being so abrupt, after all, Jin'er was an unmarried daughter, how could she say it so bluntly.

Bai Shizu took a sip of tea embarrassedly to hide himself, but his eyes still kept looking at Bai Mujian's face, as if he wanted to see something.

Everyone made their words clear, Bai Mujian naturally couldn't continue to pretend to be stupid, so he could only smile and bless Bai Shizu and Mu Xinping: "Grandmother didn't say anything, just let Jin'er congratulate her!" ”

When Bai Shizu and Mu Xinping heard this, they couldn't help but laugh happily, but Mu Xinping pretended to bow her head in shame and stopped talking, anyway, the wood was already in the boat, she just waited to be Ning Guogong's wife.

Although Mrs. Bai was secretly annoyed by Bai Shizu's rudeness, she was still very happy to hear this, and she appreciated Mrs. Lu's generosity very much, after all, this was her Ning Guogong's internal affairs, if the Prime Minister's Mansion insisted on interfering, it would be ignorant, and the two families would definitely have a quarrel in the future because of this matter.

Bai Shizu happily forgot about his form, and immediately said: "Mother, then this matter is settled like this, shouldn't we go to prepare?" ”

Seeing this, Old Madam Bai was a little more dissatisfied with this son, thinking that if she really let Mu Xinping win his favor so much, would she make Mu Xinping proud of her favor in the future? This hidden worry gradually expanded a little, but when she thought that Mu Xinping was an orphan girl and had no backing, she could only rely on herself, so she let go of her heart.

"I have my own plans for this matter, you still put more thoughts on Chen'er, anyway, he is also a father, his son has such a good opportunity, you have to help take care of it!" Old Madam Bai said lightly.

Bai Shizu hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, my son understands, this matter will be remembered!" ”

Seeing that he had been following her, Old Madam Bai no longer cared about the gaffe just now, and explained some words to Bai Muhibiscus in detail, hoping that her grandson would be able to enter Dongfang Xuan's eyes, so she went out, but she didn't want to raise her eyebrows.

In fact, it can't be blamed that the old lady is so anxious for quick success, and it is really that she has been aggrieved for too long over the years, Bai Shizu is not a smart person, she can only rely on the shadow of the old prince, and now she has become a five-grade squire of the Ministry of Works, she has no real power, and her mind is all on the vassal elegance, and she is pretentious, so that the old lady who has always been arrogant can not raise her head in the circle of noblewomen.

She always felt that she was famous back then, but the nobles who were not as good as her all married well, and their children and grandchildren were also angry, and now they have achieved higher official positions than her sons, so she is naturally not convinced, so she is bent on cultivating a few more children and grandchildren who can raise their eyebrows for her, so as to live up to her fame.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Bai looked at Bai Hibiscus's eyes more and more brightly, this granddaughter did not live up to her expectations, not only is she smart and intelligent, but now she also knows how to help her younger brother, she feels that it is a very correct choice to put the treasure on Bai Hibiscus.

The four people in the room were happy, and they all met their expectations, but when the news reached Ning Xiangyuan, the Lu family couldn't sit still.

"You said that the news that Bai Muhibiscus brought back is that the Lu family does not interfere in the internal affairs of the Bai family?" Lu Ningxiang cried out in disbelief.

Mama Du nodded, and said helplessly: "This is the news from Ziyu, there will definitely be no fake, I heard that now the grandfather is urging the old lady to prepare for the marriage!" ”

"I don't know what the second sister-in-law should do, didn't she persuade the old lady? It's useless at all, it must be the white hibiscus that is getting in the way again! Lu gritted his teeth and said.

Mama Du is not easy to say anything, even if it is her, she is not willing to interfere in this matter, after all, the two families are in-laws, and Prime Minister Lu is not arrogant, how can she interfere in the affairs of her son-in-law's family, it is not good to say.

But Lu didn't think so, she felt that her mother's family should help her, they didn't help her, wasn't it because she was a concubine, if Lu Wanqin encountered this incident, then Mrs. Lu would definitely not stand idly by. The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I couldn't help but smash the furnishings in the house again.

Mama Du saw that she was starting to go crazy, and immediately persuaded: "Ouch, my lady, don't be angry anymore, the slave knows that you are bitter in your heart, but now that the wood is in the boat, it is useless to be angry, if it reaches the ears of the grandfather, won't your hard work these days be in vain?" ”

Lu reluctantly stopped, and said hatefully: "Since that girl went against me, it seems that nothing is going well, it's really my disaster!" My mother-in-law only loves Lu Wanqin, where is there a moment when she takes my concubine to heart, and let me enter Ning Guogong as a step-room, not for a pair of children left by Lu Wanqin, phew! I don't go along with her, I want to toss those two little sluts, who let them be Lu Wanqin's children, they deserve it! ”
