"Of course it is..." Zi Fu was just about to pass it off, but she saw Ju Bai's disapproving eyes, so she immediately finished without hesitation.

It turns out that in the Shen Mansion, the relationships between the servants are complicated, and the families that have been breeding in this manor for many years are even more intricate.

Zi Fu is a sweet-talking person, and she serves the most favored daughter-in-law in the courtyard. Naturally, everyone is willing to make it easier for them to come and go on weekdays. After all, if they catch the eyes of the fourth girl, it will be detrimental to themselves and even the whole family. But they are all extremely beneficial.

It was precisely because of this that Zi Fu had the opportunity.

Bai Xiaonian hurt his face that day and fell into a coma due to excitement. He didn't wake up until Dr. Lin came for diagnosis and treatment.

After learning that even if he recovered, he would still have scars, he cried endlessly. When he returned to Bishui Pavilion and saw himself in the mirror, he smashed all the utensils in the room in a rage, with a ferocious expression and constant curses. His words were completely different from usual.

Although he has gotten better in the past few days, his eyes have become more and more terrifying when he looks at people. He will always scream loudly in the middle of the night. As time goes by, rumors gradually spread in Bishui Pavilion and even Shen's Mansion that Bai Bai My cousin seemed to be suffering from hysteria and lost her mind.

One day Zifu was passing by the rockery and heard someone crying inside. After asking, she found out that it was the little maid serving the soup in Bishui Pavilion. Because the water was not withdrawn in time, Bai Xiaonian saw her in the water and poured the hot water in anger. Flip on top of her.

Although Bai Xiaonian was not the serious master of Shen Mansion, he was still related to the mistress of the house. The poor little maid could only swallow her anger and secretly ran away to cry to her little sisters.

By chance, Zifu met her. Zifu first asked what happened, and then comforted her with kind words. Then she went back to Yilan Courtyard and brought her a good ointment for treating burns, which moved the little maid. It's going to be a complete mess.

From now on, if there is any disturbance in Bishui Pavilion, the little maid Fangcao will report it to Yilan Court in time.

It was the same today. Although Grandma Sun sent everyone away with an excuse, this also aroused Fangcao's suspicion, so she hid under the window outside the house and listened clearly to the conversation between Bai Xiaonian and the three of them. When I heard that everyone was feeling bad at the end, I quickly came over quietly and told Zifu...

After hearing the whole story, there was a silence in the room.

Grandma Sun deliberately lowered her voice when speaking, and could not hear it very clearly, but Fangcao remembered Bai Xiaonian's last words clearly, and at this moment, everyone in Yilan Court could not calm down.

"What does Mrs. Bai mean?" Yunling was the first to speak because of her fierce temper.

"What else could it mean? She didn't deny it. Didn't she just express her acquiescence? Then Aunt Sun is her confidant. How could she dare to say anything without her consent? Maybe she was the one who signaled Aunt Sun to tell Bai Xiaonian about this matter. "Yes." Qingdai replied.

Ju Bai has always been calm and thought more deeply, "From what Fang Cao said, Mrs. Bai's attitude toward her cousin seems to be very cold, and..."

"Besides, Mr. Bai Lin is also a bit strange." Shen Qiaochen said in a sweet voice.

Ju Bai looked at Shen Qiaochen and nodded: "Yes, from Fangcao's description, not only is Mrs. Bai's relationship with her cousin not as close as it is in front of others, but she also feels like she is completely Someone else."

Shen Qiao nodded slightly, agreeing very much with Ju Bai's words.

Yunling on the side said anxiously: "What time has it been? You are still studying their relationship. Isn't the key point now, what they said?"

Zi Fu also nodded, expressing her inability to understand the topic discussed by her girl and Ju Bai at this time.

Shen Qiaochen couldn't help but smile, "You are all right, but Yunling and Zifu, have you ever thought about it? If Bai Lin really wanted to tell the truth, she would have said it out all these years ago. To put it another way, even if what Grandma Sun said is true, so what? It has been so many years, and she can still turn the world upside down? "

"The Lin family has a long history of scholarship. I don't believe that my grandfather could really do something like rob someone of their marriage. As for what happened back then, I don't think it was what she said."

Shen Qiaochen's expression remained unchanged and she looked very convincing. Seeing her girl like this, the maids slowly felt relieved.

…

"That little girl is quite smart." Ju Bai rarely praised her.

"Yes." Zifu said.

"Although that girl from Fangcao is young, she is very clever. She was afraid of being discovered by them, so she hid under the wall for a while, and did not dare to come out until the lights in Bishui Pavilion were turned off."

"That girl... called Fangcao?" Nanny Lin, who had just opened the curtain and entered the house, suddenly said.

Everyone looked at her after hearing this, and Shen Qiaochen also raised her head: "Do you recognize her?"

Nanny Lin thought about it carefully and said, "If I remember correctly, that girl Fangcao should be Liusu's biological sister."

"Lisu? Is this the old lady's sister Liusu?" Yunling said in surprise.

"Yes, that's her. Liusu's mother was originally the old lady's right-hand man, and she still stayed in the house after she got married. Later... later, the whole family left the house because of some things. A few years later, one day, suddenly, That girl Liusu appeared at the door of Shen's mansion with a letter. The old lady read the letter and left her behind. At that time, Fangcao had just been born, and she was still being held in Liusu's arms."

Perhaps when she thought of the past, Nanny Lin sighed with a rare emotion.

Only Shen Qiaochen noticed that Nanny Lin suddenly paused when she was talking about Liusu's family leaving the house. Although it was not obvious, her intuition told Shen Qiaochen that there must be something else here that Nanny Lin had not explained clearly.

Since she is Liusu's younger sister, she can rest assured that she will keep an eye on Shen Qiao at Bishui Pavilion. After thinking about it, she asked Zifu to interact with Fangcao appropriately and send some ointment there. If it was not enough, she would send her some ointment. Ask yourself what you want.

Zifu thanked Fangcao overjoyed, thinking in her heart, as long as she is loyal to her girl, she is her good sister...

…

Tonight it was Jubai's turn to keep vigil. After Zifu and the others retreated, they saw Shen Qiaochen still sitting at the table in a daze. The tea in her hand had already gone cold, but her thoughts had gone somewhere.

Ju Bai walked forward, silently poured a cup of warm milk, and replaced the teacup in his girl's hand.

The sudden warmth in her hands made Shen Qiaochen slowly come back to reality, smiled at Ju Bai, put the cup to his lips, and drank in small sips.

"Girl, what happened tonight..."

Shen Qiaochen thought that Jubai was still worried about what Grandma Sun said, so she said,

"As the saying goes, you see old age at the age of three. Do you think the elders of the Lin family can't see Bai Lin's virtue? She is just a concubine. Who does she like in her heart? It has nothing to do with others. This is the General's Mansion. , could it be that she said she could get married if she wanted to? Even if others can't see clearly, what about my grandmother? Do you think, with her little bit of moral integrity, my grandmother won't be able to understand? "

At the end of the sentence, there was a hint of hatred in his tone. Didn't he fail to see clearly the true face of Bai Lin and his daughter in his previous life?
