Chapter 183: Generosity
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
"Since she has unclean hands and feet, it is entirely possible to kill Miss He for money." Bai Zhi said.
"Tell me how you knew she had a cousin." Lu Zhiyuan was still very curious about this matter.
Bai Zhi covered her lips and giggled, "What's so rare about this, you don't usually read those books, those books are written like this, but every rich lady has a poor cousin by her side, and the two are happy with each other, but they are not blessed by their families." In the end, the ending was quite miserable, either the rich lady was forced to marry someone else and ended up depressed, or the poor cousin finally abandoned the young lady and married her, in short, there was no good ending. β
"Nonsense, you can also use this book to talk about the case." Lu Zhiyuan laughed angrily, he knew how Aunt Bai could be smart and analyze the case, and he thought too much about his feelings.
"The book is also written by people, if it wasn't really something like this happened, how could such a story be written." Bai Zhi expressed her strong dissatisfaction with Lord Lu's underestimation of the book, "You just said that I guessed it this time, then Miss He's death must be inseparable from that cousin." β
"You really guessed wrong this time, I have already sent someone to check on that cousin, he was drinking in a tavern outside the city when the incident happened, and many people saw it at that time. He had no time to commit a crime at least an hour back and forth from outside the city to the tavern. Lu Zhiyuan got up and walked around the back of the screen, and said while taking off his coat and changing into his regular clothes, "Okay, let's not talk about these things, I heard that you were molested by bullies outside today?" β
Bai Zhi was almost choked, "I have already had someone tie up and send it to the yamen, how can this molested woman from a good family have to suffer a few boards." β
Lu Zhiyuan had already changed his clothes and sat back again, and the maids outside also reported that dinner was ready, so they moved to the dining room to eat.
Bai Zhi talked about the incident of meeting the black tiger during the day at the dinner table, which naturally included saving a little girl by the way.
Lu Zhiyuan knew that she was kind, since she was doing a good deed, there was naturally no reason to be unhappy, and when she asked what to do with the little maid, he gave her own opinion, "You can ask her yourself, if you want to go back, send her back, if you don't want to go back and have nowhere to go, you just lack a maid by your side, if you look like it, let her stay and wait." β
Bai Zhi actually had this intention, and he didn't object to hearing Lord Lu, so he nodded with a smile, and by the way, he didn't forget to flatter, "How can you be so good, I really like you so much." β
Lu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand and put a piece of pork ribs for her with a calm face and put it in the bowl, "You can't stop your mouth when you eat." β
Early the next morning, Lu Zhiyuan went to the yamen again.
This time, he said that he was accompanying Bai Zhi to Bai'an County to relax, but Bai Zhi felt that he seemed to have other things to do, because he had been out for four or five days, but he was not in a hurry to go back at all, and it seemed that he was still ready to stay for a few more days.
After Lord Lu went out, Xiao Bottler brought a little girl into the door to greet her.
As soon as the little maid saw her, she knelt down with a thud, and kowtowed without saying a word, which frightened Bai Zhi, and hurriedly asked the vial to help her up.
"This is our Aunt Bai." The little bottle pulled the little girl up and smiled at her.
When the little girl heard this, she wanted to kneel down again, but fortunately she didn't kneel down because she pulled the vial, "The fourth girl thanked Aunt Bai for saving her life." β
After resting for the night, the little girl obviously looked a lot better and was in good spirits. After combing the hair, you can see that the facial features are quite delicate, although the eyes are still timid, but the speech can be very clear.
The fourth girl was also scared, she became so panicked yesterday, after a night she also calmed down, Aunt Bai in front of her was a good person, rescued her from the black tiger, and returned the deed of sale to her, she was very grateful.
"Nothing." Bai Zhi saw that her demeanor and demeanor had returned to normal now, so she asked, "Fourth girl, have you thought about where you want to go in the future?" β
The fourth girl's face turned pale when she heard this, her expression instantly dimmed, and the two hands hanging down by her side were clenched into fists, and she could see her uneasiness and nervousness.
"If you want to go home, I can send someone to send youβ" Before the words fell, the four girls exclaimed, as if greatly stimulated, "No, I don't want to go back." β
Xiao Bottler frowned and scolded, "Don't shout, you will frighten your aunt." β
The fourth girl reacted when she heard this, and said even more guiltily, "Yes, I'm sorry." β
"I'm not so intimidated." Bai Zhi was indeed startled by her sudden scream, but it was not so badly frightened, she smiled and continued, "Since you don't want to go home, have you thought about where you are going?" β
The fourth girl's eyes turned red, how did she know where she was going, she lowered her head and shook her head, and choked up, "I don't know either." β
Xiao Bottle's eyes were a little sour when she looked at her like this, and she couldn't help but say, "Sister, there is still a lack of a little sweeper in our yard, and I think the four girls are suitable." β
Bai Zhi originally had this meaning, but since the vial was mentioned first, she also took the opportunity to say, "I lack a maid to sweep here?" If you want to stay, follow the rules of the vial for a few days, and I don't dare to allow you to be rich and expensive here, but there is no problem with food and clothing. β
Her words made the four girls hard to believe their ears for a while, she had encountered a great good thing, not only was she rescued from the wolf's den, but also gave her a place to live.
"Don't be burdened, if you don't like it, I'll have you sent away." Bai Zhi saw that she didn't speak all the time, just assuming that she had other plans.
"I do, I do." The four girls nodded busily when they heard this.
Bai Zhi saw that she agreed, so she said to the little bottle, "In this case, then you can take her to learn the rules, and let her follow you in the future." β
The vial naturally patted her chest and promised to teach the four girls well.
The two of them went down happily, but over there Su came to her with a sad face, and after sitting down, Su began to sigh, making Bai Zhi confused and didn't know whether to ask.
"Sister Su, what's bothering?" She asked thoughtfully.
Su Shi sighed heavily again when he heard this, "It's not for my master's business." β
"What's wrong with Lord Ye?" Bai Zhi also heard Lord Lu say yesterday that she was investigating the case with Ye Zongping, but she didn't hear about anything.
"I received news this morning, saying that it was my lord and Lord Luβ" Su Shi glanced at her as he spoke, as if hesitating whether to continue.
"Sister Su has something to say."
Hearing this, Su Shi sighed, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty in her eyes when she looked at Bai Zhi, "I heard that they went to visit the kiln." β
"Huh?"
Bai Zhi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "Sister is here for this?" β
"Isn't that a big deal?" Su Shi couldn't help but get angry as he spoke, "I'm not a person who doesn't know hot and cold, I said earlier that it was inconvenient for me to be pregnant, if he has an idea, he can take a clean concubine to enter the door." But at that time, he said categorically no, this would go to the kiln by myself behind my back, and it would also bring Lord Lu to the bottom of it. Sister Bai, I'm sorry for you. β
Bai Zhi smiled when she heard her say this, "Sister Su, you think too much, they should have business to do." β
Su Shi often felt that Bai Zhi felt a sense of calm and relaxation in her, which would make this feeling even more obvious, when she first heard the news from the next person, she only felt that it was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and she hurried over, but she didn't think of such a big thing, and when she came to Bai Zhi's side, it was as casual as what she would eat for lunch today, and she didn't even frown. It made Su Shi feel strongly that he was not making too much of a fuss?
"Sister Bai, aren't you worried at all?" Su Shi was a little embarrassed to see that she was so calm when she was younger than herself, but she was several years older but panicked like this.
"What are you worried about?" Bai Zhi smiled, "If Lord Lu really has this idea, it's useless for me to worry, if he doesn't have this idea, I'm asking for trouble." β
Su Shi didn't know how to answer for a while when she said, this truth is understood by everyone, but understanding and doing are two different things, if everyone can do it, how can there be jealousy in this world.
"Sister Bai, you're reallyβgenerous."
Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "I'm not generous at all, I just believe in Lord Lu." β
Believe.
These two words have gone even further, everyone says to believe, believe, but there are a few who can really believe.
Su Shi sighed in her heart, she and Ye Zongping have been married for many years, and they have two children under their knees, and they can be regarded as old husbands and wives, and their relationship has always been good, but if she really wants to ask her if she can believe it unconditionally, she is still not sure in her heart, just like this time, when she heard that Ye Zongping and Lu Zhiyuan went to the Qinglou, she immediately panicked.
"Sister Bai, I'm not as good as you." Su Shi felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't say the specific reason, in short, it was uncomfortable.
"It's not that you're inferior to me, it's that Sister Su, you're too nervous to be like this now." Bai Zhi saw that she was depressed, and said with relief, "I heard that when a woman is about to give birth, her emotions will fluctuate, and the things she doesn't care about at all on weekdays will be extra concerned at this time." I can see that Sister Su, you and Lord Ye have a very good relationship, and Lord Ye also cares about you in his heart, how can you make such a thing uncomfortable when you are about to give birth. β
Su Shi originally felt uncomfortable, but when she heard Bai Zhi say this, she felt that she had just said something on her mind, she nodded, "I have been upset lately, and I haven't slept well at night, and I'm always worried about this and that." β
"Sister Su, you are too nervous, what you have to do now is to adjust your mood well, you will happily give birth to a healthy baby, and all the problems will be solved by then." Bai Zhi herself didn't know where she heard some theories, anyway, someone said the same thing to her.
Su Shi couldn't help laughing, "Sister Bai, have you really never given birth to a child, how do I think you are more sophisticated than me." β
