Baili Lan nodded, then turned and walked towards the door. But as soon as the person crossed the threshold, he heard a soft voice behind him, familiar and unfamiliar.

"When the eldest sister saw me, how could she turn around and leave, didn't she do something wrong, afraid that others would come to ask for her life!"

Baili Lan turned around in response, just in time to see a woman in a green dress standing in front of her beautifully. Those eyes are very similar to Baililan's, but they are not as cold as Baililan, but they are more hateful than Baililan.

"Third Miss!"

Several maids recognized Baili Qian and couldn't help but exclaim. It's just that Bai Liqian came fast enough, and Bai Lilan also asked a few people to check her background, but she didn't expect Bai Lixi to crash into the door herself.

"What, won't the eldest sister invite me in to sit down? Or does the eldest sister think that I am just a concubine and not qualified to enter your residence as a princess? ”

Bai Lixi's words were prickly, which made Bai Lilan frown unhappily.

"You can also see that my door here is wide open, if you want to come in, you can do it yourself!" After speaking, Baili Lan went to the other courtyard first.

Bai Lixi bent the corners of her mouth, and followed behind Bai Lilan.

Looking up at the decoration in the room, Bai Lixi praised with ulterior motives, "It's really worthy of being a princess, even the other courtyard has to be decorated so luxuriously." If it weren't for the light of my eldest sister, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the opportunity to enjoy these in my life. ”

"If you have anything to say, you can say it directly, I don't like to beat around the bush." Unable to stand Bai Liqian's yin and yang weirdness, Bai Li Lan interrupted her coldly, and said with a cold gaze, "Also, don't always look like I owe you a lot, which makes me very unhappy!" ”

"The princess is really a noble person who forgets things, and forgets the past so quickly. But it's okay, forgetting is a blessing, who would be stupid to live in the past and can't extricate themselves. Bai Liqian changed her sitting position, lowered her head and fiddled with her fingers, and said, "I thought that we would never see each other again in this life, but I heard that you didn't die, so I thought that when I must come to the capital to meet you." It's a pity, I'm just an ordinary country girl, I don't have the qualifications and no money to come to the capital. At that time, there was a man who liked me very much, yes, my current husband. Although he is over forty years old and has a wife, I don't care, as long as he has the ability to let me go to the capital to see you have a bad time, it is enough. ”

"Now you've seen it, and then?"

Slowly raising her head, Bai Liqian smiled strangely and said, "I'm very happy to see that you are not favored by the prince and live alone in another courtyard!" ”

Bai Lilan frowned, and said in an impatient tone, "If you have a grudge against me, then you will have a fair competition." If you don't have that courage, don't talk to my mother-in-law, get out of here quickly! ”

"Why should I resent my eldest sister?" Bai Liqian tilted her head slightly, looking playful and cute, but the resentment in her eyes was enough to suffocate, "If it wasn't for the eldest sister framing me, I wouldn't have let the Queen Mother misunderstand me, so I would have lost the Queen Mother's favor and had no chance to tie the knot with Prince Chen; If it weren't for the narrow-mindedness of the eldest sister, for fear that I would secretly communicate with Prince Chen, I would not have driven me and my mother out of the capital and returned to our home; If it weren't for the eldest sister's hard work, I wouldn't have hastily found an old man over forty years old to marry! You say this, should you blame the eldest sister? ”

Listening to Bai Lixi's short words, Bai Lilan knew where her anger came from. For a moment of lowering her eyebrows, Bai Lilan said, "Then what do you want now?" Looking for me for revenge? Or do you want to compensate? ”

"You're still so ruthless!" Bai Liqian suddenly smiled gloomily, her eyes were hollow, and she fell on a point in the void, "What can I do, you are my sister, everything good has been yours since I was a child, although you hurt me, but I can't be as ruthless as you." Is it compensated? I have lost the most precious thing of a woman, what can you compensate for? I'm here just to see you're unhappy! Yes, it is to let God punish you, to make you unhappy, to see you abandoned! As if she had suddenly found a reason to convince herself, Bai Lixi's eyes were full of light, and she looked straight at Bai Lilan, but her eyes were full of pain.

"I really don't understand, how can I have such a cowardly sister as you."

"Y-What did you say?"

Putting down the teacup in her hand lightly, Bai Lilan looked at Bai Liqian helplessly, and said, "Since you hate me so much, then deal with me openly, what I robbed you, you will snatch it back, how I hurt you, you will hurt it back." You are such a cowardly character, how can you be a concubine? Won't you be bullied to death by your mother? Isn't your mother very powerful, why don't you be taught the simplest things? ”

"I ......"

"Your cowardice will only make the enemy humiliate you more brazenly, so are you going to continue to endure it? How long will it last? When you die? It's better to die now, so that you don't have to suffer all these worldly ills! ”

"You're enough!" Bai Liqian stood up suddenly, breathing rapidly, looked at Bai Lilan viciously, stretched out her finger and said loudly, "What qualifications do you have to be arrogant when you are abandoned by the prince?" Do you think you are still the eldest daughter of Dingnan Palace, Lord Lan? Do you think you are the noble favorite concubine of the Chen Palace? You are nothing, you are an abandoned concubine, a woman that no one wants, so don't pretend to be sophisticated and teach me, you are not qualified! ”

After a roar, Bai Lilan just looked at Bai Liqian quietly, and after a long time, she said lightly, "Are you angry?" ”

Bellis answered her with a roll of the eye.

"If you know to be angry, it proves that you are not a walking dead yet. If you want to live well, you have to give yourself dignity. Waiting for others to give you glory and wealth is simply a fool's dream. Don't you want to see me unhappy? Then you yourself have to be happier than me to prove my unhappiness. ”

Bai Liqian looked at Bai Lilan in a daze, and she couldn't understand what she meant by these words. Kind of heart? No, when did she, a selfish woman, really care about others?

"The Dingnan Mansion is scattered, and even the mansion has been mortgaged to others, there is no silver, no noble status, no family as our support, you all have to be strong. I'm not with you, you all have to take care of yourselves. ”

This time, Bai Liqian really looked at Bai Li Lan like a ghost, and muttered half-loudly, "You, are you caring about me?" ”

"I'm not caring about you, I'm just admonishing you as the eldest sister. The past is gone, and what I have gained may not be more happiness than what you have lost. Now that the Dingnan Mansion has declined, there are only five of us brothers and sisters left, if we are obsessed with the past and dump each other, we will only kill ourselves in the end! I hope you can remember what I said today, and since you want to take revenge, then seize the opportunity and try to make yourself happier! ”

"Sa'er said that you have changed, but I didn't take it to heart. Now it seems that you have changed a lot. Looking at Baililan, Bailiqian said softly.

This kind of Baili Lan was only seen by them when they were children, and when the eldest sister saw her being bullied, she ran in front of her and blocked all the fists that came over. Bailixi knew that it hurt, but the eldest sister smiled and told her that it didn't hurt at all. After so many years and too much suspicion and exclusion, she has forgotten how to get along with her eldest sister as a sister. Today, I was supposed to see the joke of the eldest sister, but I didn't expect that she would be her own umbrella just like back then.

Baili Lan lowered her eyelashes lightly, and her cold heart was filled with an unknown emotion. and what he said just now, I don't know if it was Qi Luolan who wanted to say it herself, or the sleeping Baili Lan in her body.

"Xiao Peng is good to you?"

"That's it, he's forty years old, what more could I ask for."

"Do you have any of his children?"

Bai Liqian shook her head and said with a wry smile, "The eldest lady is afraid that other children will rob her son's status, so before marrying into the Xiao family, she will give everyone a bowl of sterilization soup." ”

"It's okay, that kind of person's child, don't do it, and you can break it off in the future."

Looking at Baili Lan in surprise, Bai Li Qianqi said, "Eldest sister, are you trying to persuade me to leave Xiao Peng?" He's my husband! ”

"Forget it, he's at most one of your future men!" Bai Lilan said casually, completely ignoring what kind of shock this shocking remark would bring to Bai Liqian, "Do you want to torture yourself in that dark place for the rest of your life?" No love, no family, no friendship, no children, lonely old age? If you want to, I won't agree! In a few days, when I have settled myself, I will take you all back to the capital. Let's Dingnan Wangfu, we can't just disperse! ”

Bai Lilan's promise made Bai Liqian very excited, but the moral constraints in her heart still made her dare not think about it.

"By the way, Xiao Peng is just a county guard, how can he be qualified to attend that dinner?"

"Oh, I heard that Xiao Peng is secretly helping the emperor do something, it's very mysterious, and I've never heard him mention it."

The secret thing?

Bai Lilan narrowed her eyes and said, "Xiao Peng is timid and afraid, this can be seen from the fact that he allowed his wife to persecute his concubine, so what ability does he have to help the emperor do things?" ”

In fact, Xiao Peng was a guard by the emperor's side in his early years, and because of his merit, the emperor rewarded him with a position and went to Rong'an City. As for the meritorious deed, it seems to be a harmony...... It is related to the King of Lanling. ”

Bai Lilan's expression froze, and she turned her head sideways and asked, "What does it matter?" ”

"It's a textile mill thing. I don't know the specifics, even if Xiao Peng says it, I don't understand. In fact, Bai Liqian came today, and she didn't want to say so much, but in Bai Lilan's resolute gaze, Bai Liqian had nothing to hide, and every word she said pierced her heart, making her unconsciously 1510 and dish.

Textile mill? King Lanling? Princess Lanling? Nangong Jingchen?

The fragments that were strung together made Bai Lilan feel that Xiao Peng was definitely an important figure. Quite possibly the point of unraveling the mystery!

"Eldest sister, what's wrong, is there any problem?"

"It's nothing," Bai Lilan waved her hand and said, "I've been investigating the cause of Daddy's death for the past few years. ”

Bailixi's eyes widened, and she said in surprise, "What, do you suspect that your father is not...... Oh my God, it can't be! ”

"It's impossible, in the past few years, I've seen a lot of similar things, and I will suspect it, and the emperor is very jealous, his father responded to every call back then, and it was impossible for him to let the generals around him become big and let it go. Forget it, I'm just guessing about this, don't interfere. ”
