Chapter 170: The Evidence Is Conclusive
"Scam?
Seeing that her junior brother was confused, although Shan Xue couldn't bear it, in order to let her junior brother recognize the truth, she still told her thoughts:
"Shanhe, senior sister said that it was a scam, and it was definitely not deliberately framed by the Bai family. Actually, if it weren't for today's incident, that little girl would have liked it a lot. However, they did this behind our backs. Alas, your fate with her...... I'm afraid that's the end of it. β
"But, but ......"
Seeing that Shanhe still didn't believe it and wanted to defend himself, Shanxue sighed secretly and said slowly:
"Senior sister is not a mouthful, I have evidence!"
"Evidence?"
"That's right!" Shan Xue nodded and suddenly asked:
"Do you remember what happened to Bai Shuai just now?"
"Bai Shuai, do you mean that there is no such thing as arranging a seat for him?" Shanhe said uncertainly.
"Yes!
"What's wrong with that?"
"At the beginning, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. But now it seems that there is a lot of problem. Shan Xue explained word by word:
"I remember you told me that Bai Shuai has a good relationship with you, right? The last time I confronted Nangong Qing, he also took the initiative to stand on your side, right?"
"Yes, at that time, he chose to stand with me despite the opposition of my grandfather and uncle, and I was very moved at that time. Shanhe recalled.
"Hehe, that's right!"
"What do you mean, senior sister, does this have anything to do with today's events?"
"Of course it matters! If I'm not mistaken, that Bai Kun is afraid that history will repeat itself, so he did everything possible to obstruct it today and didn't let Bai Shuai stay for dinner!"
Hearing this, Shanhe seemed to understand something, but it was not very thorough. It didn't take long for him to hear the senior sister explain his confusion again:
"It stands to reason that Bai Shuai is very close to the two of you on weekdays, and he is Bai Kun's beloved grandson, and he is also the only cultivator among the juniors of the Bai family, no matter how you look at it, he is very qualified to eat this meal with us. But Bai Kun had to drive him away, and I felt that he was a little too rigid and unapproachable. But in retrospect, it wasn't like that at all!" Speaking of this, Shan Xue couldn't help but snort coldly and continued:
"Hmph! What 'outsiders' can't participate, it's all an excuse! What he's really worried about is that Bai Shuai is likely to not listen to the command after the East Window incident! If he chooses to stand on your side like last time, it will be a big trouble. In order to avoid accidents, Bai Kun ruthlessly drove Bai Shuai away. Therefore, it can be seen from this incident that Bai Shuai is kept in the dark, but what about the rest of the ...... Hehe, it's hard to say. β
Shan Xue said that it was "hard to say", but her tone obviously implied that most of the remaining people were people in the know.
After listening to the reasoning of the senior sister, although Shanhe wanted to refute it, he didn't know where to start for a while.
Because he has to admit that this analysis of the senior sister is indeed reasonable.
If Bai Shuai stayed on the table, with Shanhe's understanding of him, he might really be like what his senior sister said, regardless of his grandfather's opposition, to fight side by side with him.
Therefore, if this matter is really deliberately designed by the Bai family, then he really needs to be taken away, otherwise it will only add to the trouble.
However, this speculation alone is not enough to convince Shanhe of this. After a little hesitation, he whispered again:
"It'sβit's all your unilateral guess, it may be right, but it may just be a coincidence. How can it be considered evidence?"
Seeing that his stupid junior brother was still unwilling to face the reality, Shan Xue sighed and said again:
"Okay, then I'll talk about another piece of evidence!"
"Huh, and the evidence?"
"Of course!" After the mountains and rivers were white, Fang pointed to the empty surroundings and said:
"Shanhe, today we will only eat for six people, and not sixty people. It's enough to put it in a small private room, but the Bai family prefers to arrange it in such a large banquet hall, don't you think it's strange?"
Shanhe found out this question when he first entered the banquet hall, and he also asked Bai Lu specifically, but he didn't get an answer at that time.
"Oh, it's kind of weird. But perhaps, it was Old Man Bai who wanted to be a little more magnificent, so he ......"
"Magnificent?" Before Shanhe finished speaking, he heard Shanxue interrupt angrily:
"Please, there's a difference between big and magnificent, okay? According to what you mean, wouldn't it be more 'magnificent' on the football field? Alas, use your brain, think about it again!"
"I ...... I can't think of it. Shanhe drooped his head and replied listlessly.
"Okay, then I'll tell you. Then he saw the mountain snow pointing to the golden cover above their heads and said:
"The reason why the Bai family is here is to assist Han Yi and arrange this Golden Tripod Sealing Array that trapped us!"
"Huh?
"That's right, you also saw just now, this formation must be activated by four people holding the Golden Tripod Ancient Jade. If it is arranged in a small private room, with one person standing in each corner, it is easy to be spotted. However, if you change to a large banquet hall like this, the place is already large, and there are many people coming and going, even if there are one or two people standing in the corner, it is difficult to be noticed. Therefore, the Bai family deliberately arranged the dinner in the banquet hall, in order to trap you and me here!"
After listening to the second piece of evidence provided by the senior sister, Shanhe's face gradually became ugly.
Although he didn't want to believe it, under the careful analysis of his senior sister, he himself felt that the possibility of the Bai family not knowing was getting smaller and smaller.
However, out of his love for Bai Lu and his trust in the Bai family, even if the evidence is conclusive, he still retains a glimmer of hope in his heart: tell himself that all this may be a coincidence! Senior Sister's speculation may not be all correct!
However, just when Shanhe was holding on to the last trace of fantasy, he stood opposite and listened to Han Yi for a long time, and suddenly slapped his folding fan and said with a look of approval:
"Yes, yes! Not to mention, it really has a bit of the demeanor of the mountain peaks back then! Hehe, for the sake of your hard work, I'll tell you the truth, today's incident is indeed a deception under Bai Kunbu! What kind of talk about marriage is just a pretense, in order to trick your sister and brother into coming together! Boy, what your senior sister said is right, you must not think too much about it!"
Once he said this, the last glimmer of hope of the mountains and rivers turned into ashes in an instant.
Even the opponent admitted the matter himself, where did Shanhe have a reason to insist on his fantasy again?
Soon, a bitter feeling of loss filled his chest like a flood that burst the embankment.
With great pain, I kept shouting in my heart:
Why?
Why?
Why did she lie to me?
And why do you have to lie to me with marriage?
Could it be that in her heart, our feelings ...... Is it really just a bargaining chip?
