Chapter 396: Elder Qin
With the light skills of Li Fenglan and those Bai family dead, Lian Rong is naturally imperceptible, but it is different with Bai Shuyu. I was worried about chasing this way, for fear that Bai Shuyu would drop the chain.
Lianrong thought that her disguise was very clever, and walked through the streets and alleys of Luoyang at night, and made a big circle before reaching the area around the small house.
She stood at the door of the house and knocked lightly, but no one answered. I knocked a few more times, but still no one answered. Lian Rong couldn't help but get nervous, and pushed hard, but the door was unlocked.
She walked out into the courtyard, which was dark, unlit and without any human scent.
"Mr. Chen." She shouted, and was met with dead silence.
"Stop shouting, he's already gone." A familiar female voice came from behind her, and Lian Rong turned around suddenly, only to see Li Fenglan and Bai Shuyu standing at the door with a few dead soldiers.
No, I just killed her!
Li Fenglan stepped into the threshold with her hands behind her back and said with a smile, "You are well hidden, for so many years, the Bai family has not even discovered you."
Lian Rong understood, she had already been exposed, and what Bai Shuyu told her in the afternoon was playing her, just to see who she was.
Bai Shuyu also walked in: "I'm curious, how did you deceive Elder Qin and me? I picked you personally, but I didn't expect that the two of us were deceived by you at the same time."
Now, there is no point in pretending.
Lian Rong smiled coldly: "Bai Shuyu, you are not wronged. Back then, Xiao Zhu didn't believe that your Bai family would be content with the status quo. Ever since you entered the Hundred Flowers Building, the eldest prince has been eyeing you, and has specially arranged for us homeless orphans to approach the Hundred Flowers Building."
"These?" Bai Shuyu frowned, "There are many?"
"Yes, there are a lot of ...... But you've only picked two."
Bai Shuyu nodded: "The other one was killed by my eldest brother."
Li Fenglan asked, "Is this eldest prince you are talking about Chi Junyan?"
"That's right."
Li Fenglan was a little puzzled: "Before Tongguan last year, you have seen the women I asked people to bring back, right?"
Lian Rong nodded, "I've seen it."
"Those women became like that, but it was all the handiwork of your eldest prince. Such an inhuman thing, you are still willing to do things for him? After the fall of Xiaozhu, no one knows that you are a fine worker, as long as you stay in the Bai family and don't be a demon, no one will find out your identity. Why do you bother?"
Lian Rong smiled dismally, "The eldest prince gave me a life, and I have to repay him. As for what he did to those women, it has nothing to do with me."
Bai Shuyu sighed, turned his head to look at Li Fenglan, and asked, "Can you ......?"
Before she finished asking, Li Fenglan said, "Don't ask me, you can solve your family affairs by yourself."
After speaking, Li Fenglan turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
She does have an itch for the roots of Lianrong's hate, and she is not a person who can rub sand in her eyes. But going through so many things made her a little haggard. The Bai family has been laid out for 20 years, and the people who have never wanted to be close to them are unreliable, she doesn't want to get involved in this matter, let Bai Shuyu make her own choice.
But Li Fenglan did not go back to the Bai family, but went to a big mansion not far away.
The house is very magnificent, and it looks like a big family.
The family had just moved in, and they were very generous, and when they arrived in Luoyang, they recruited a yard of people. I heard that the owner of the house is a mother and son, and he is very kind.
Li Fenglan didn't call the door, and went directly through the wall.
In the courtyard, a young man was watering the flowers, and when he heard the sound of clothes flying, he looked over.
When he saw the face of the visitor, he screamed, dropped the kettle, and ran behind the pillar of the bedroom next to him.
Li Fenglan was startled by his strange scream, frowned and asked, "What are you shouting?"
Ye Jing lay behind the pillar, poked his head out, and said tremblingly, "See, I've seen Miss Li...... Long time no see, haha, long time no see."
Li Fenglan hugged her arms and said, "Do you have something to say?"
Ye Jing swallowed: "Yes...... What, it was Mr. Chen's intention to come to Luoyang, and he said that my mother and I can only be safe if we hide here."
Li Fenglan shook her head: "It's not this."
Ye Jing was helpless, stomped his feet, and almost cried: "You really can't blame me! I can't think of anything else! That's the most reasonable, if you didn't mention it at the beginning, I wouldn't think about it, right? And everyone likes it."
Li Fenglan was stunned and asked, "What are you talking about? What does it mean? Why can't I understand?"
Ye Jing was stunned: "You...... Haven't read the next volume yet?"
Li Fenglan suddenly realized: "Oh, you're talking about the second volume of "The Legend of Breaking Demons"...... No, you wait, what do you mean? You're really going to have something to do with that son?!"
"Yes...... But everybody loves it! It is said that this section is absolutely well designed! I really recommend you to check it out! Everyone who has seen it says yes!"
Li Fenglan rolled up her arms and rolled up her sleeves: "I'...... I'm not going to kill you!"
"The gentleman doesn't move his hands!" Ye Jing begged for mercy.
Li Fenglan took a deep breath, waved her hand and said, "Forget it, I'm not looking for you for this matter, we'll settle this account later." Do you really not know or do you falsely know?"
"Not for this?" Ye Jing was also puzzled, "Then I really don't know what you mean by coming here."
Li Fenglan thought for a while: "It seems that you really don't know, Chen Zi is definitely quite good for your mother and son...... Zhao Gongzi ......"
"What, my surname is Ye, my name is Ye Jing. My brother's name is Ye Si......."
Ye Si, Si Ye, oh, that's what it means.
Li Fenglan said, "Whatever you call it, Luoyang is safe for you, and no one will come to trouble you in the future." As for Chen Zidu, I probably won't come to you in the future. My deal with your dad is complete...... Let's write a book...... Remember! Don't run away without finishing!"
Ye Jing hurriedly nodded: "Follow Miss's teachings!"
…
When Li Fenglan came out of Ye's house, she happened to meet Bai Shuyu who was walking back.
Bai Shuyu was wiping the blood on his hands with a white handkerchief, Li Fenglan glanced at it, did not say anything, and the two of them returned to the Bai family silently.
The night banquet continued, and Li Fenglan naturally joined the banquet, and no one asked her what she was doing just now.
Bai Shuyu's mood was a little complicated, looking at the noisy crowd, he felt that his brain was a little swollen.
Chen Ling'er walked over and whispered, "Third Prince, Elder Qin, please go."
Bai Shuyu nodded and walked towards the backyard.
Qin Lao's real name is the Bai family's sister and brother, he is the old man of the Bai family back then, and he manages the intelligence network for the three generations of the Bai family, which is very reliable.
Since the Bai family had an accident after the New Year, Qin Lao has been sick and bedridden. Bai Shuyu searched for good doctors in Luoyang, but he couldn't cure Qin Lao. It happened that Doctor Hou came a few days ago, and Bai Shuyu begged Doctor Hou to help Qin Lao see his illness.
Doctor Hou said: Qin Lao has worked hard all his life, and there are too many stubborn diseases on his body, and he will definitely not be cured. You can only keep it, and if you're lucky, you can live for another two or three years.
After Bai Ruoyun's death, the Bai family sisters and brothers had no reliable adults. Qin Lao has always regarded them as his own children, especially for Bai Shuyu's education. To the Bai family siblings, Qin Lao was like their father, generous and selfless.
Qin Lao's residence, Bai Boju was already in the house.
"Old Qin, Shu Yu is here."
The old man sat up hard, and Bai Boju hurriedly stepped forward to help.
Looking at the old man on the bed, Bai Shuyu had mixed feelings.
"Lie down, don't do it."
Qin Lao waved his hand: "It's okay, my body bones can last for a while, don't think I'm dying."
Bai Shuyu smiled: "Don't you often say that you are old and immortal, how can you be so soon gone."
"Hehe," Qin Lao couldn't help but laugh, "Little San'er, your brothers and sisters, I value you the most, and you didn't embarrass me."
Bai Shuyu has
Some embarrassed: "Don't you lose face? Chen Ziju, Li Fenglan, I can't compare to any of them."
"When you were in charge, the Bai family was already a broken ship, and it was not easy to survive until now."
Bai Boju said, "Don't praise him like that, he can't help but praise him since he was a child."
"Hahaha," Qin Lao smiled, "Your children are all good...... Boju, you've been with me for a long time, it's lively outside today, go with the big guys for a while, and let the little third accompany me."
"Good...... Shu Yu, accompany Qin Lao well."
"Big brother, I see."
In the past, Qin Lao called their sisters and brothers young ladies and sons, but now that he has little time, he doesn't want to talk about this rule.
After Bai Boju left, Qin Lao stretched out his hand: "Help me get out of bed."
"I said you just lie down, this old arm and legs, you fall again."
"Nonsense, hurry up."
In desperation, Bai Shuyu had no choice but to help him stand up. The old man walked all the way to the desk, sat down tremblingly, looked at the books on the table, and smiled with satisfaction.
"I gave your grandfather a hand back then, then worked for your father, and now I serve your brothers and sisters, and my life is very fulfilling. I have two years to live at most now, and while I can still speak, I will explain to you what happened after my death."
Bai Shuyu moved a chair and sat aside: "Come again...... Two years ago, you said there was nothing to live on, and now you say it's boring. Besides, I don't need you to explain anything, now the Bai family is easy to take care of, and there is no one left."
"There are still ......" Qin Lao gently patted Bai Shuyu on the shoulder, "Ling'er, this girl is not bad, it's a pity that you have taken a fancy to jade." Since you don't want others, give them a good home."
"I know, Ling'er's affairs, I have already arranged it."
"Lianrong, this girl is not bad, your second brother is not here, it is quite suitable for her to be a big housekeeper." Bai Shuyu and Chen Ling'er didn't tell him about Lianrong, and they didn't want the old man to worry about it.
Bai Shuyu nodded and said vaguely, "Listen to you."
"As for Changfeng Building, to be honest, the Li family's little girl has a good heart, but she doesn't have a bad heart, so she can hand it over."
"There's such a relationship as jadeite, it's not bad."
"It's ......," the old man leaned back in his chair, "There's nothing more to say, but after thinking about it, it's better to trust you kid...... Boy, can I ask you something?"
"Say something you don't ask for."
"Get me a jug of wine."
Bai Shuyu frowned: "Old man, you have a little bit of an inch, can you still drink with this body?"
"I'll just take two sips."
"Don't make a fuss, my eldest brother won't beat me to death if something happens."
"It's just the two of you, I've never begged you for anything in my life."
"Sensei said it so pitifully, do I have to give you the whole roast chicken?"
"That's for the best."
"Hey......" Bai Shuyu sighed, "Well, let's say okay first, you can't confess me if something happens."
Qin Lao smiled happily: "Don't worry, when did I betray you?"
"Hmph...... The organ girl of Baihualou said a few words to me, and I don't know who told my sister the secret."
"You kid just steal the fun, I didn't tell Jade to be worthy of you. Get the wine."
