Aunt Su knew that the master was very angry. Over the years, he always hoped that Bai Lichen could have dinner with him, but Bai Lichen never agreed to him. But this time, Bai Lichen not only agreed to him, but also became
He brought his pregnant wife to visit him.
Although she hated Bai Lichen, she knew that she had to endure it. But she didn't think that this girl was really spoiled by her, and she actually dared to speak to Bai Lichen in front of the master.
Baili Chen's father was very disappointed with Baili Yanran's attitude and couldn't help scolding him again: "Yanran, how can you be so ignorant? Is this how your mother usually teaches you?"
Aunt Su could tell that the master was really angry, so she glanced at Baili Yanran and said, "Why don't you apologize to your elder brother and sister-in-law quickly?"
Baili Yanran still had tears in her eyes, and she still looked aggrieved and said: "Brother, sister-in-law, it's Yanran who is ignorant, please don't take it to heart."
Without even looking at Yanran, Bai Lichen took Bei Mingxue's hand and left the front hall. When the two of them walked to the back garden, Bai Lichen suddenly stopped and held Bei Mingxue's hand distressedly.
Said: "Xue'er, I have made you feel wronged."
Bei Mingxue felt warm in her heart, knowing that Bai Lichen felt sorry for her, but she couldn't let Bai Lichen worry about her. In order to make Bai Lichen feel at ease, she said to Bai Lichen: "Where have I been wronged?
Why did you attack Baili Yanran? I was almost scared to death by you."
"She is looking for death. If she dares to attack you, she is simply risking her life." When Bai Lichen heard Yanran's name, an expression of disgust appeared on his face.
"Achen, I know you dote on me, but she is still your sister. Although she was not born from the same mother, you should still take care of your father, right?" Bei Mingxue said.
Bai Lichen smiled and said, "I know you must be very curious that my attitude towards Bai Liyu is completely different from Baili Yanran's, right?"
Bei Mingxue nodded and said: "I am indeed curious. Your attitude towards Baili Yu is really like meeting your younger brother, but your attitude towards Baili Yanran is very cold. But I know that you must
There are reasons to do this.”
Baili Chen said leisurely: "You are right. Logically speaking, as a brother, he should love this sister especially. I'll let it go. After all, we are not brothers and sisters of the same mother. However, Lian Bailiyu is right
Her attitude is a bit cold, don’t you think there’s a problem?”
"That's natural. How can a brother not love his sister? At first, I just thought that she looked too much like Aunt Su, so you were so disgusted with her. But I
I found that Bailiyu shouldn't be like this, what is going on?" Bei Mingxue said in confusion.
"Because she is not my father's daughter at all. Yanran was born after Aunt Su had a relationship with her cousin. She thought she had hidden it from everyone, but she didn't expect that Bailiyu and I would still find out about it.
That's it." Bai Lichen said helplessly.
At that time, Bai Lichen was already fourteen years old, and Bai Liyu was also twelve years old. That year, Bai Lichen's mother was already gone. He hated Aunt Su, but he hated Aunt Su for following behind him.
Bailiyu couldn't bear to hate him. His father was often away from the house at that time. Because he had a quarrel with Aunt Su, he was imprisoned in the woodshed by her. In the middle of the night, Bailiyu stole some food from the kitchen and sent it to the woodshed.
After Bailichen had eaten, he ran out with Bailiyu, but happened to bump into Aunt Su and her cousin walking out of the back garden in disheveled clothes. The two brothers could not hear the conversation between the two.
It was clear. From that moment on, they found out that Baili Yanran was not their sister, but the daughter that Aunt Su had given birth to through a secret life.
"In other words, Bai Liyu witnessed his mother stealing someone?" Bei Mingxue asked in surprise.
"Well, since then, Bai Liyu has been saying very little. I know that he hates his mother because he is worried that he is not his father's son. In fact, he was overly worried. Aunt Su and her cousin that night
Everything had already been explained in his words. Aunt Su's cousin had not gotten married, and he complained that Aunt Su had not given birth to a boy for him that night. However, when Bai Liyu heard that Yanran was not his father's daughter, his head was about to explode.
He didn't listen to the rest of the conversation at all." Bai Lichen murmured.
Bei Mingxue was filled with tears after hearing Bai Lichen talk about the past. It turned out that Bai Lichen and Bai Liyu had such a good relationship. Even Aunt Su could not imagine that the relationship between the two brothers was good.
However, Aunt Su is quite courageous and actually had an affair in her own house.
"Achen, part of the reason why you chose to come back this time is for Bailiyu, right?" Bei Mingxue asked.
Bai Lichen nodded and said: "You guessed it right. When I heard that the person who caused those scholars to enter Yihong Building was Yu'er, I wanted to take him back and give him a good beating. But I knew that although he was not old enough,
He is a big man, but he would not act so recklessly. I want to ask clearly what his purpose is."
"I see that he respects you very much. Logically speaking, he will not destroy your plan. I suspect that his father must have said something to him. He may think that doing so will help you?" Bei Mingxue analyzed.
.
Bailichen had to admit that Bei Mingxue's analysis was correct. Although Bailiyu was smart, he was very simple. In this world, apart from believing in himself, the only other person Bailiyu had left was their father. So it is not difficult to think that
, it should be what his father said to him.
"You are right, his father must have said something to him." Bai Lichen said.
"It seems that you need to meet him alone." Bei Mingxue said with a smile.
She remembered what Bai Lichen said before leaving, and then she realized Bai Lichen's intention.
The two of them talked and then returned to their yard. After Bei Mingxue took a shower and changed clothes, Bailichen opened the door and stood outside. He was worried that Bei Mingxue would catch a cold, so he carried Bei Mingxue into the house.
"I wonder if you will get used to living here these days?" Bai Lichen asked.
"As long as I live with you, I will definitely not get used to it." Bei Mingxue said.
Bailichen put Bei Mingxue on the bed and heard the cat meowing outside the window.
"He's here, Xue'er, go to sleep first. Don't stay up all night waiting for me." Bai Lichen warned.
"Okay." Bei Mingxue was indeed a little scared today. After all, she did not expect Baili Yanran to do anything to her.
After Bailichen left the house, he saw Bailiyu on the roof.
"I knew you didn't sleep and came here in the middle of the night." Bai Lichen said.
"Brother, although we haven't seen each other for a long time, I know that you are the only person who understands me best." Bai Liyu said.
"Yu'er, my brother wants to ask you something today. Can you not lie to me?" Bai Lichen asked.
Seeing how serious Bai Lichen was, Bai Liyu said seriously: "I will never lie to my eldest brother."
"I remember that Yu'er was a kind-hearted child, but why did he harm those scholars?" Bai Lichen asked.
Bailiyu didn't dare to look at Bailichen, and he knew there was something wrong in his heart.
Bai Lichen didn't reveal it, but sat there and stared at Bai Liyu slowly. Bai Liyu knew that he couldn't hide, so he said to Bai Lichen: "I didn't harm them. I heard that a few of them can take the exam."
Taking the imperial examination was not because they were really talented, but because they spent money. Father..."
Bailiyu knew that he had said the wrong thing and quickly covered his mouth.
"Did father ask you to do this?" Bai Lichen asked, raising an eyebrow.
Bailiyu said nothing and looked at Bailichen hesitantly.
"Speak." Bai Lichen said.
Bai Liyu then slowly said: "Father said that these people will affect your future and His Highness Pluto's succession to the throne. That's why he asked me to put something into their wine, and they will naturally
Something will happen. Of course, they have told me that those powders will not harm their lives."
"But have you ever thought that if you do this, you will ruin the futures of several of them? When they took the imperial examination, they entered the top three based on their own ability. And these people are also those whom His Highness King Mo wants to reuse.
"My father always hopes that His Highness Pluto will inherit the throne, but he has not considered His Highness Pluto's own feelings. My father is already obsessed with it, how about you?" Bai Lichen thought for a while and said.
"So that's it? But why would my father lie to me?" Bai Liyu asked doubtfully.
"Because he hopes that His Highness Pluto can inherit the throne, otherwise he would not let you do it at this time." Bai Lichen said.
"Brother, I really don't know what I'm doing is wrong, so what should I do?" Bai Liyu asked worriedly.
"Do you still have the medicinal powder your father gave you?" Bai Lichen asked.
Bailiyu said: "The medicinal powder is gone, but I haven't thrown away the paper containing the medicinal powder. I wonder if it is of any use?"
Bai Lichen said: "Great, it's too late today, remember to give it to me tomorrow."
Bai Lichen just wanted to know the ingredients of the medicinal powder so that he could know who the master behind his father was.
"Yes. However, the gossip about those scholars has been spread everywhere. Brother, what should I do?" Bai Liyu said at a loss.
"Don't be impatient, I know this is not your intention." Bai Lichen persuaded.
Bailiyu felt a little sad. It turned out that his father had lied to him. I believe that if his father had not lied to him, he would not have agreed to do this. But why did his father do this? Maybe his father wanted His Highness Pluto to inherit the throne.
, but His Highness Pluto has no such ambition at all.
"Brother, my father has been very close to Master Shangshu recently, and their family is still discussing the marriage of our two families. I see that Master Shangshu is always smiling, but he doesn't seem like a good person. Do you think this matter is possible?
Did he encourage his father to do this?" Bailiyu suddenly thought of Master Shangshu and said.
Bai Lichen nodded and found the source. It turned out that Master Shangshu had secretly contacted his father. He didn't know what he said to his father in private, and actually made his father agree to do this. His father was really courageous. This was
The crime of deceiving the emperor.
"Don't worry, I will advise father. Su...has there been any movement from your mother recently?" Bai Lichen asked.
"My mother has restrained herself a lot, but recently she often goes to Shangshu Mansion to drink tea with Mrs. Shangshu," Bai Liyu said.
"When you go back, don't ask or say anything. Leave everything to me." Bai Lichen said.
"Brother, does Master Shangshu really want His Highness Pluto to inherit the throne?" Bai Liyu asked doubtfully.
"Why do you ask that?" Bailichen felt very curious after hearing Bailiyu's words. Could it be that Bailiyu saw Lord Shangshu's ambition?
