Chapter 154: Temporary Residence
After a while, the Bai family's family came to open the door.
But looking at the plainly dressed woman in front of him, the family looked puzzled.
Who's this?
He had never seen this woman before.
"Who are you, lady?"
"I'm Song Wan, the second lady of the Song family, I passed by Qingcheng this time, and I want to stay overnight for a few days, so you go and tell Madam Bai quickly."
The family knew about the Song family in the next county, so he asked Song Wan to wait in front of the door for a while, and then went in to report by himself.
After a while, the family came back with a few maids.
This time, they also had flattering smiles on their faces.
"Miss Song Er, please inside."
Although she was fleeing for her life, in front of her subordinates, Song Wan still remained arrogant.
She raised her chin and made a gesture to the main hall.
Mrs. Bai and several daughters-in-law of the Bai family also whispered when they saw Song Wan coming.
"This is the second lady of the Song family, I heard that she was not married to the county magistrate of the next county? Why did one person come to our Bai family?"
"Eh, she's not as good-looking as her big sister."
Madame Bai glared at the women, stepped forward kindly, shook Song Wan's hand, and pulled her to her side.
Although she hadn't seen Song Wan for many years, the Bai family and the Song family were close relatives, and now that the other party had come to the Bai family, it was also appropriate to be courteous.
"Auntie, Wan'er hasn't seen you for many years, and I'm really worried about you."
Song Wan also pretended to be obedient and pasted it over.
Surrounded by several people, Song Wan sat next to Mrs. Bai, and the two exchanged greetings one after another.
"Wan'er, the last time I saw you, it was when you got married, why did you suddenly come to Qingcheng alone today?"
Song Wan knew that Madam Bai would ask this, so she made up an excuse early in the morning.
"The family ordered some very important private items here in Qingcheng a few days ago, but the craftsman somehow delayed delivery, and my husband asked me to take a look."
"That's right."
Madame Bai didn't think about it, and had a brief chat with Song Wan, and let people settle down in her residence.
When she returned to the room, Madame Bai thought about it carefully, and felt that something was not right.
Song Wan is the county lady, even if she comes out with some private matters to deal with personally, she should have a personal maid.
How could it be possible for her to come out alone?
Not only that, but her dress is also very plain, in her impression, Song Wan is not like a person who can dress like this.
Madame Bai felt strange in her heart, so she planned to write a letter to ask Madame Wu.
If Song Wan and her husband had any small conflicts and ran away in anger, she would persuade them and send them back.
Song Wan was settled in a side courtyard.
Looking at the plainly decorated room and the secluded surroundings, she felt a little resentful.
When I was a child, I lived with my sister Song Wen in the Bai family for a few years.
At that time, my sister Song Wen and the treatment she received were very different.
At that time, Mrs. Wu looked down on herself and always bullied herself, but now that she thinks about it, she is still angry.
And now even if they are the county magistrates, they don't value themselves, and they are arranged in such a broken house when they come over.
Song Wan sat on the edge of the bed, frowned slightly, and thought about the less than 100 taels of silver left on her body, and it was probably a little difficult to escape to the rich Jiangnan.
Besides, she can't stay in the Bai family for a long time, she should leave in the next two days.
Where does your entanglement come from?
Song Wan gritted her teeth and thought, thinking a little crookedly in her heart.
Why don't you steal some of the Bai family's calligraphy and painting ornaments, and take the money and run away after you lose it?
Song Wan was a little itchy.
The Bai family was originally a big family, so there should be no shortage of things.
And I've done so many bad things, and if I get caught, it's definitely a dead end, no
If you steal something and run away, you can still have a chance to live.
Song Wan only hesitated for a moment before deciding to do so.
After resting in the room for a while, seeing that there was no one around, she planned to wander around the house first to see if there were anything valuable to steal.
The layout of the Bai Mansion has not changed much from when Song Wan lived here more than ten years ago, and she easily found the way to the study.
She looked outside and figured that there should be no one in the study.
Just as Song Wan squeaked and pushed the door open, there was a woman standing inside.
"Yan'er?"
Song Wan recognized the woman in front of her at a glance.
It was Mrs. Wu's former maid, Yan'er.
"Why are you in the Bai family?"
Song Wan's brows furrowed, and her eyes revealed endless hatred.
If it weren't for this cheap girl, she would have been able to avenge Mrs. Wu's revenge, and she would not have ended up like today.
Yan'er was stunned for a moment at first, but after seeing those hateful eyes, she shrank back in fear, and recognized that the person who came was Song Wan.
"Madame......
She screamed timidly.
"Huh. You, it turns out that Mrs. Wu sent you to the Bai family?"
Song Wan approached step by step, and her hand slowly raised.
Now she can put the stealing thing aside for a while, because she wants to teach this woman a good lesson.
Yan'er saw Song Wan wanting to hit her, and stepped back in fear.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door.
"Song Wan, why are you here?"
Song Wan turned her head in surprise and found that the person who came was Madame Bai.
Seeing this, Yan'er hurriedly trotted to Mrs. Bai's side.
"I've seen the old lady."
Song Wan put down her hand stupidly, and could only glare at Yan'er resentfully.
"Why are you here?"
Madame Bai asked strangely.
"Madam, Yan'er was cleaning the study, but Miss Song suddenly broke in."
Song Wan hurriedly explained:
"Auntie, I'm just a little bored, wandering around the house, and my curiosity strayed here."
Madame Bai naturally saw Song Wan's actions just now, but out of her face, she didn't break it, she just said:
"I see."
Yan'er never expected to see Song Wan here, so she timidly saluted and wanted to leave here.
"Yan'er, don't be in a hurry to leave."
Song Wan sneered and called out to her.
"Back then, I gave you and Ying'er to Mrs. Wu, and I haven't seen each other for a long time, I really didn't expect you to be in the Bai family now."
"Thanks to Miss To, I'm fine in the Bai family."
Yan'er lowered her eyes and replied.
"I haven't seen you in a long time, and I really miss you."
Song Wan looked at Madam Bai and pleaded:
"Auntie, I came to Qingcheng in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring a maid or anything with me, can you let Yan'er come over to accompany me these days?"
Hearing this, Yan'er's face changed greatly.
She looked at Mrs. Wu in fear, her lips trembling.
Where did Song Wan want to let herself accompany her.
How could she, such a narrow-minded and vicious woman, let herself go?
She must take the opportunity to take revenge!
"Madame White, I, I ......"
Yan'er panicked and wanted to refuse, but she was too timid to dare.
Madame Bai saw her reluctance at a glance, and then looked at Song Wan, who was smiling hypocritically, and her heart was very entangled.
Song Wan was good at disguising herself when she was a child, and compared to her sister Song Wen, Madame Bai didn't like Song Wan. Accepting her today is more about her identity as the county lady.
"Madam Bai, Wan'er just wants to ask you for a maid to accompany you
God, you can promise Wan'er."
Mrs. Bai looked at Yan'er in embarrassment, knowing that she was loyal and had a good impression of her, but if she rejected Song Wan now, would she be unhappy at that time?
After struggling for a long time, Madame Bai still said slowly:
"Wan'er, it's not that your aunt is stingy, it's just that Yan'er has been doing a lot of work recently, and she can't take a break, so she really can't accompany you."
After speaking, she glared at Yan'er with a feigned anger:
"Didn't you go and clean the eldest young master's bedroom after cleaning the study? Why don't you go yet?"
Yan'er trembled and immediately whispered:
"Yes, yes, I'll go."
Then he trotted away.
Seeing that Madame Bai deliberately favored Yan'er, although Song Wan was unhappy in her heart, she couldn't say more.
She smiled smirkedly and said:
"I didn't expect Yan'er to be so busy, it seems that I have no chance to catch up with her. Auntie, Wan'er retired first."
When she turned her head and walked to the door, Song Wan already had a blue face.
She walked away quickly and went somewhere else.
Song Wan thought to herself that the Bai family was so rich, even if the study couldn't start, there must be some unguarded courtyards, even if it was in the warehouse, as long as she could get something valuable.
didn't think about it, Song Wan searched for a long time, but she didn't find anything valuable.
Why is this Bai family so picky?
Song Wan angrily folded a flower in the courtyard and tore off the petals one by one.
She looked at the late sky, thinking that she didn't have much money on her now, and she couldn't run away tomorrow, so she had a fire in her belly.
I have been bullied in the Bai family since I was a child, and today I want to ask Mrs. Bai for a maid, and she also brushes her face.
Isn't his status as good as a maid?
Song Wan stood quietly in the courtyard, and the tragic memories of the past came to her heart one by one.
She's finished.
She also wants the Bai family to accompany her to the funeral!
Song Wan thought for a while, went back to her room and took some money, and went straight to the pharmacy in Fang City.
"Boss, is there any arsenic or frost?"
"Arsenic, frost?"
The boss was startled and looked at Song Wan cautiously.
"What do you want arsenic and frost for?"
Song Wan said casually:
"Recently, there are rats in the house, and I plan to buy some poisonous rats."
The boss looked at her carefully, saw that she was a new face, and said:
"I've never seen you, so you'd better go, I'm not selling."
Song Wan lowered her face and said aggrievedly:
"Boss, I followed my husband to live in Qingcheng, I live with my husband in the village outside the city, in order to buy medicine, I walked a lot, you see, it's dark now, I have to rush home in a while, don't play with me."
Seeing what Song Wan said had a nose and eyes, the boss hesitated for a moment and said:
"Okay, then you wait a minute."
However, the boss didn't dare to sell more, so he just gave her a small dose of arsenic and cream, which was enough to poison a litter of mice.
Song Wan looked at the little arsenic and frost in her hand, and her mind was enough, so she paid and went back.
Yan'er saw all this in her eyes, and she was frightened.
The moment she saw Song Wan, she felt that she must have an ulterior motive for coming here.
So she hid after going out, and witnessed Song Wan searching everywhere in the Bai family, but found nothing.
She thought that Song Wan was desperate and wanted to steal things, but she never thought that this woman would actually buy arsenic and frost!
Is she going to poison everyone in the Bai family?
She's too vicious!
Yan'er didn't think about it, and ran back to Baifu desperately.
"Madame Bai, Madame Bai, where are you? Something is wrong!"
Yan'er rushed into Madame Bai's yard, and she didn't care about any courtesy
Finish.
After a while, Madame Bai walked out, and when she saw Yan'er in a panic, she felt strange in her heart.
"What's going on?"
"Song Wan, Song Wan, she's crazy! I saw her stealing from Bai's house in the afternoon, and now it's even worse, she just went to the pharmacy to buy arsenic and cream!"
