Chapter 402: The Price of Silence
Bai Mujin sneered: "What she wants is not only the position of the Duchess of the Kingdom, she also wants my mother's dowry, she also wants the entire Guogong Mansion, and even the Lu family, her heart is very big!" ”
Meng Shi gasped, even tears froze in his eyes, and said in disbelief: "This ...... How is this ...... How could she have such a heart? ”
"The human heart is not enough to swallow the elephant, is there less such a thing? Because of your silence, I have paid too much price, if you choose to continue to be silent, or even stand on the opposite side of me, don't blame me for not remembering the love of the past, and I don't want you to stand up and say anything now, when I need it, you must tell everything you know as it is, you ...... Will you or not? Bai Hibiscus's eyes became cold and hard, and the tone of his voice had long since lost the slightest warmth.
Meng Shi's face tightened, and there was obviously a trace of struggle in her eyes, she knew that Bai Hibiscus was no longer the submissive, wooden and docile little girl she was at the beginning, and the killing determination in her eyes would not even be had by people of her age.
Meng Shi sighed lightly and asked, "Jin'er, what do you want to do?" You know...... The reason why the Lu family can harm your mother is not because of her ability alone, you ...... Your father, and your grandmother, they all know! ”
Bai Mujin showed a bright smile, as if the cold and ruthless person just now was not her, and said, "Second aunt, are you telling me that in fact, my mother's death is the common expectation of everyone in the Bai family?" ”
Meng Shi said helplessly: "At least...... This is the last choice, at the beginning, the Lu family and your father secretly Chen Cang, if your mother does not die, your father will be ruined, the Lu family will not let your father go, according to your grandmother's temperament at that time, the Bai family will definitely be turned upside down, don't you know your grandmother's person? As a second room, what can your uncle and I do? ”
Bai Mujian waved his hand and said, "Enough, the past has not been mentioned, I only ask you now, do you want to tell the truth and give my mother justice?" ”
Meng Shi lowered his head slightly and said, "Jin'er, the Lu family has been forced to this role by you, isn't it enough?" I heard that her second brother was also sent to Liuzhou, and she won't have a chance to bully you and Chen'er again, so it's better to ......"
Bai Mujin closed his eyes, showed a smile as cool as the autumn moon, and said, "Understood, second aunt...... I'm not imposing, it's your choice...... Let's go, Wei Ran and Yan Ran, I will take them to the palace, it can be regarded as a reward for the kindness you gave me and Chen'er some protection, and I will do the same when the second uncle stays in Beijing, but in the future, I will ...... Do what you want! ”
She won't harm the people in the second room, but the Bai family is over, if Bai Yaozu doesn't have the ability to protect her family, she won't take care of it, so it can be regarded as two clear!
Meng Shi wanted to say something, but Bai Mu Hibiscus had already waved his hand and said lightly: "Magpie, send off!" ”
Meng had no choice but to leave, a woman married and obeyed her husband, she couldn't help but think about her husband's family, if the Bai family was finished, their second room would also be finished, her husband's future, and the future of her children, could not be buried because of this. Meng Shi can only meditate in his heart, sister-in-law Wanqin, I'm sorry, forgive me for my selfishness!
But Meng didn't know that he would regret it so much one day, and hoped that he would choose to stand on Bai Hibiscus's side at this moment, instead of swallowing all the words and covering up the facts of that crime with a clear conscience!
After Meng left, Mama Rui walked out and said, "Master, since the second room is unjust, why do you still want to help them?" ”
"It's a favor for them, but it's a blessing or a curse, then it's not something I should care about!" Bai Hibiscus picked up the teacup and swallowed the tea that had been cold, and it seemed that there was a faint bitter taste.
The mandarin duck said: "Miss, they are unkind, why do we need a handout?" It's not a big favor, they want to rely on Miss to get cheap, and they don't want to offend that side, it's really whimsical! ”
Bai Muhibiscus smiled and said, "Why be excited, there is nothing cheap in the world, how can you not pay the price if you take my benefits?" ”
She's never been that kind!
On the day of the Qixi Festival, early in the morning, Qingluan and Du Juan stood in front of Bai Hibiscus with their faces very embarrassed, looking like they couldn't cry.
The mandarin duck looked at them in wonder and asked, "What are you doing with this expression?" Injured holding the box, what did you put in immediately? ”
The magpie was also very curious, looking at their expressions, he thought it was something bad, and hurriedly said, "It can't be something harmful, right?" Who is so bold as to dare to harm our young lady with something? ”
Qingluan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "No...... Someone sent it to the master...... Let the lady wear it when she participates in the lantern viewing party! ”
The magpie was relieved when he heard this, and opened it without thinking too much, and looked at it...... Deng Shi was stunned and said in surprise: "Wow...... Such beautiful clothes, and ...... This set of head ...... It's just beautiful! ”
Bai Hibiscus had just gotten up and had not yet freshened up, when he heard the murmur of the magpie outside, and shouted, "What is the fuss about?" ”
The magpie walked in with a grin and said, "Miss, are you awake?" Someone gave you a big gift, and my eyes dizzy when I saw it! ”
Bai Mu Hibiscus frowned slightly and asked, "Who sent it?" ”
Qingluan and Du Juan also walked in with a twist and said, "Master...... It's really none of our business, is it...... They blocked me and Du Juan early in the morning, forced it into us, and said that you must let the master wear it and go to the palace to enjoy the lanterns today! ”
After speaking, he opened the box, and a set of red clothes appeared, although it was not unfolded, but looking at the clothing and embroiderers, he also knew that this dress was worth a lot.
Look at the box in the cuckoo's hand, a pair of gold silk embroidered satin boots, and a box of delicate head and face that people can't take their eyes off, with hibiscus flowers as the theme, from hairpins to earrings and bracelets, all are beautiful!
Bai Mujin didn't have to think about it to know whose handwriting it was, so he sighed helplessly and said, "That's it, I know, you just put it down!" ”
"That'...... Master, do you want to dress it today? Qingluan cautiously probed, but she remembered what Ah Zhong said, if the county lord was not dressed neatly today, they would be unlucky!
Bai Mujin looked at the expectant and worried expression in her eyes, smiled, and said, "It's very beautiful, since people took great pains to send it, why don't you wear it?" ”
Qingluan and Du Juan were happy in their eyes, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes...... It's very beautiful, why don't you try it now, master? ”
"No need, let's leave it alone!" Bai Hibiscus is not interested in trying it in advance, why do you have to wait until the evening to enjoy the lanterns, isn't it too exaggerated to put it on so early?
Originally, she just didn't mind what to wear, but she didn't expect that because of this outfit, she would become the focus of the waiting meeting, so she caused a series of incidents, but fortunately, the ending made her extremely satisfied!
After Bai Mujian was dressed up, even Mama Rui was shocked by her magnificent and luxurious makeup, and it took a long time to come back to her senses and say, "Master, the prince's vision is so good!" ”
Even the people who accompany Bai Hibiscus every day don't know that she can wear red with such a stunning effect, a little peach blossom makeup on her eyebrows, and with this dress, Yumei specially put on a strong and glamorous makeup for Bai Hibiscus, which makes her even more luxurious and graceful.
The whole body is red, the corners are outlined with gold threads, and the hem is a golden hibiscus flower, which looks so dazzling.
Bai Mu Hibiscus's face was a little unnatural because of Mama Rui's words, and said, "Isn't this body too eye-catching?" I don't really like that! ”
The mandarin duck hurriedly said: "No...... It's so beautiful, miss...... Don't change it out, this dress really suits you! ”
Bai Mujin looked at the girls in the room and nodded again and again, her eyes kept glued to her, and she looked even more uncomfortable, and said, "Let's change my body!" ”
Qingluan hurriedly said, "It's too late...... This has to be replaced, and then the makeup is washed off, I'm afraid it will be a missed time, master...... You're never late! ”
Bai Mujin looked at himself in the mirror, but still chose to compromise, only blamed the man in his heart, he always liked such high-profile things, he himself loved red, why did he drag her into the water? feels too ostentatious, she has always been a low-key person!
Just seeing that the sky really didn't allow her to delay any longer, she said, "That's it, get ready, let's go!" ”
At this time, Yan Ran and Wei Ran were also waiting at the door of Jinlan Garden, with two identical faces, with excitement and expectation, and a faint hint of nervousness, but the moment they saw Bai Hibiscus, they all became sluggish!
Seeing the two of them in such a state, Bai Mujin was slightly displeased, and said, "Two sisters, I've been waiting for a long time, let's go!" ”
Yan Ran and Wei Ran came back to their senses at this time, and Yan Ran hurriedly said, "Big sister, you ...... It's beautiful...... The fairy daughter in my painting is even more beautiful! ”
Wei Ran couldn't stop nodding, Bai Mu Hibiscus couldn't say anything when she saw her two of them looking so innocent, she just said: "Yanran and Wei Ran are also beautiful today, let's go...... Don't miss the hour! ”
When they went out, Bai Muchen and Viscount Bai were also ready to wait for them outside the door early, Bai Muchen is now a young man, his expression is a little more restrained and deep, and he always has a gentle smile, as if it is very harmless, but people dare not despise it.
"Sister......" Bai Muchen was still as attached to Bai Hibiscus as ever, and when he saw Bai Hibiscus coming out, he took a few steps forward to greet him.
Bai Mu Hibiscus smiled and said, "Hmm...... You take good care of the Viscount today, this is the first time he has participated in the banquet in the capital, you are an elder brother, you can't just take care of yourself! ”
Bai Muchen nodded and said, "I know, I'm not a child anymore!" ”
Bai Mujin smiled and said, "Okay...... Let's go! ”
"I just saw Bai Yunxi and Bai Gaoxuan go together, and they also received the post?" Bai Muchen only returned to Baifu today, so he didn't know.
Bai Mujin smiled: "If they want to go, they naturally have a way, and they don't necessarily have to post!" ”
As soon as he said this, Bai Muchen understood, showed a slightly cold smile, and said, "It seems that ...... Feng Shizi is determined to go against us! ”
