Master Shangshu glanced at his wife with a complaining look. Because she was too careful, she aroused Xian'er's suspicion. Xian'er held Baili Yanran in his hand. If he found out that he had bewitched that girl, he would definitely cause trouble again.
Something happened.
So Lord Shangshu hurriedly explained: "The girl Yanran was brought into Shangshu Mansion by Princess Pluto. She fell asleep in the side room because she missed you. Naturally, your mother was worried that she would catch a cold, so she was worried about whether she was feeling unwell."
The second young master did not expose Lord Shangshu's lie. Even if he did, his father would not admit it. Just now, the mother was still finding fault, how could she care about Yanran so quickly? Especially the father's reaction just now has to make people suspicious.
The second young master remained calm and looked like he really believed his father's words. He hid his doubts and planned to find a chance to see if there was anything strange about Yanran soon.
"If the father has nothing else to do, the son will resign." The second young master said in a low voice.
"Xian'er, are you going back so soon?" Madam Shangshu asked worriedly.
"Xian'er has just been cured and is feeling unwell. Let him go back and rest early." Master Shangshu said.
Mrs. Shangshu was still a little worried, so she pulled Fuzi beside the second young master and told him: "Fuzi, please be careful with your young master. If anything goes wrong, be careful and get slapped with the consequences."
Fuzi lowered his head and said respectfully: "Madam, don't worry, I will take good care of the young master."
Fuzi followed the second young master back to the courtyard. After entering the house, the second young master said to Fuzi: "Fuzi, pretend to be me and stay in the house. I'll go out and be back soon."
"
"Master, where are you going? Didn't you just promise Madam to have a good rest?" Fuzi asked quickly after hearing this.
"I'll be back in a moment. Don't let father and mother know about this." After saying this, the second young master flew out of the yard.
If the Second Young Master left before Murong Xi came to the Shangshu Mansion, the Master would soon know about it. But it happened that Murong Xi was at the door of the Shangshu Mansion this morning and broke the poison formation set up by the Master.
The reason why the second young master was so anxious to come out was to see Baili Yanran, so he hurriedly came to Baili Yanran's yard. However, he did not expect that at this time, even the candles in Yanran's house were not lit.
The second young master searched the whole yard, but did not see Yanran. He didn't know where Yanran had gone so late, but he vaguely felt that it had something to do with his father.
Yanran is missing. Is she not in the yard or something happened?
The second young master did not stay, because he knew that instead of waiting in the yard, it would be better to come to the door. So, he quickly left Baili's house with doubts and went directly to Hades' Mansion.
What surprised him was that as soon as he arrived at the door of the palace, the door of the palace was already opened.
Uncle Feng stuck his head out and said gently to him: "May I ask who you are, the second master of the Shangshu Mansion?"
Seeing Uncle Feng being so polite, the second young master also said respectfully, "That's right."
The second young master could see from Uncle Feng's eyes that Uncle Feng was smart and capable, not like an ordinary housekeeper at all.
"In that case, Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time. Please come in and talk." Uncle Feng continued.
Uncle Feng made a gesture of invitation. Although the second young master had doubts, he hurriedly followed and followed Uncle Feng into the Hades Mansion. How did His Highness know that he was coming back to see him tonight?
Uncle Feng took him to the main courtyard, stood at the door and said, "Master, we have been brought here."
"Let him come in." Feng Mingye said.
As soon as they entered the door, the second young master found that Murong Xi was not here. Seeing that Feng Mingye was the only one, he said respectfully: "I have met His Highness Pluto."
"No need to be polite, just sit down." Feng Mingye said.
The second young master was worried about Yanran's safety, so how could he sit still. So he stood and said, "Your Highness, the common people have something to ask of you."
"Sit down and let Linglong serve tea." Feng Mingye glanced at him and did not give the second young master a chance.
Soon Linglong entered the room with a messenger, put the tea on the table, and then left.
"Your Majesty..." the second young master asked puzzledly.
He was worried about Baili Yanran's safety, so how could he still be in the mood to sit and drink tea? Could it be that Feng Mingye wanted to deliberately make things difficult for him?
"I am not free enough to deliberately make things difficult for you, so you should sit down and wait. Counting the time, they should come out." Feng Mingye said calmly.
His Highness Hades had already said this, and the Second Young Master could not refute it. So, he had no choice but to sit down.
About half an hour later, I finally heard a sound coming from outside. By the time the second young master reacted, Feng Mingye had already flown out of the room.
"Xier, are you exhausted?" Feng Ming asked as she walked.
When Murong Xi saw Feng Mingye coming, she smiled slightly and was about to go back to him, but was picked up by Feng Mingye and sent back to the inner room.
Bai Lichen shook his head. When he was just undoing the poison, he was obviously the one who had the hardest time, and Feng Mingye was making too much fuss.
Bailichen wiped his sweat and entered the room. Seeing this, Linglong poured Bailichen a cup of tea. Bailichen was very thirsty and drank the cup of tea in one gulp.
When he looked up, he saw the second young master.
"It turns out to be the second young master of Shangshu." Bai Lichen said.
"Brother Baili, you'd better not be so polite and call me by my name." The second young master smiled and said.
"That's alright. Let's not mention this matter for now. Let's talk about why you came to Hades' Mansion first?" Bai Lichen asked.
The second young master said: "While we were having dinner, I heard something wrong from my mother's words, so I went to Baili Mansion to see Yanran. Unexpectedly, her courtyard was not even lit with candles. Brother Baili, is something wrong with Yanran?
Already?"
Bai Lichen could tell that the second young master's worry was genuine. Thinking about it, the second young master was really nervous about Yanran, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Pluto's Mansion to find him.
"Something did happen to Yanran. After you sent her back, she fainted and fell to the ground. I checked her pulse and found that she was poisoned. Thinking back, the poison should have been brought by Mrs. Shangshu. Of course, this poison was not
It was your mother who ordered it, but Master Shangshu." Bai Lichen murmured.
"Father? Why does father have to do this? No matter how many times I tell him, he will never listen." The second young master said with some disappointment.
"This is your father's obsession, and no one can stop it. However, I believe you should be aware of the consequences of your father's insistence on doing this." Bai Lichen glanced at him and said to test him.
The second young master frowned. Of course he knew that the result of his father's actions would be death. If he was not careful, he would also implicate the Shangshu Mansion. But what could he do? He had already told him that Yanran was his bottom line. But
Didn't his father still touch his bottom line?
Before the second young master could recover, Bai Lichen continued: "Do you know You'er?"
The second young master was stunned at first. You'er finally got the number and said to Bai Lichen, "Is it the maid next to my sister?"
"Do you know that she is not a maid at all? She is actually your father's daughter and your sister. Do you know who her mother is?" Bai Lichen said slightly.
He really didn't know anything about these things. He didn't even know that You'er was his sister, so how could he know who You'er's mother was?
He shook his head as if lost, not knowing what to say. Since You'er is his sister, why did his father leave her with his sister as a maid? His father also has many aunts, and it's not like he doesn't have children. You'er
With the blood of many family members flowing through his body, how can he stay in the mansion and be a servant?
Bai Lichen said lightly: "It's really an indescribable feeling to suddenly hear that I have a sister. I wonder if Brother Xu has ever met Aunt Yin?"
The second young master didn't know why Bai Lichen mentioned his father's aunt again, because his father had too many aunts and he couldn't remember them at all. He didn't have much impression of Aunt Yin, but her last name made him a little curious.
"I know that my father has an aunt named Yin, but I don't know which one it is." said the second young master.
"You'er's mother is this Aunt Yin." Bai Lichen raised his eyebrows, intending to see the second master's reaction.
Even though the second young master was smart, he didn't react. Since You'er's mother is Aunt Yin, why was she asked to be a maid for her younger sister?
The second young master really couldn't figure it out, so he looked at Bai Lichen. He knew that since Bai Lichen mentioned this matter, it meant that he would clear up his doubts.
Sure enough, Bai Lichen continued: "Aunt Yin is the elder of Poison Doctor Valley. After the incident in Yaowang Valley and Poison Doctor Valley, Elder Yin lived abroad..."
Bai Lichen slowly told what happened that year again, which made the second young master feel a little incredible.
It turns out that my father learned Gu refining from Aunt Yin, and so many things happened that year.
After regaining consciousness, the second young master took a sip of tea and then said, "Where is You'er?"
The second young master thought of that poor sister. He had never looked at that girl directly, but he only felt that his sister was very good to her. Of course, it was not that he looked down on his servants, but that any woman except Baili Yanran would treat him very well.
It's all the same.
He didn't expect that his mother would often torture this girl to vent her anger. Not long ago, she tied this girl in a secret room. As an older brother, he should do something.
"She is out of danger and is now in Hades' Mansion." Bai Lichen said.
"I want to take her away. Since she is a member of the Xu family, she should recognize her ancestors and return to the clan." The second young master said firmly.
"Perhaps she doesn't want to recognize her ancestors and return to the clan at all, and just wants to live her future life quietly." Bai Lichen said.
"Then I will also buy a separate courtyard in the capital and bring Aunt Yin and You'er to live there," the second young master said.
Bai Lichen knew that he was sincere, but how could Aunt Yin swallow her breath after years of resentment?
"Don't get involved in what's going on between them. It's just that You'er is your sister after all. If you have a chance, you have to take good care of her." Bai Lichen thought for a while and said.
The second young master naturally knows that Aunt Yin hates his father, and only his father can compensate Aunt Yin, which he cannot do. However, he will treat You'er well and love her as a sister.
The second young master said: "I will. Even if Brother Baili doesn't tell me, I will treat her as my own sister. But...what happened to Yanran?"
Bai Lichen said so much just now, and he was emotionally affected by him. After hearing Bai Lichen's story, he really felt sorry for You'er. But now Yanran still doesn't know if she is out of danger, so he is naturally very worried.
"Pluto Princess and I have just removed the poison from her," Bai Lichen said.
