Bai Wanrou understood the confusion in Song Yinhua's heart, so why didn't she have any doubts?
It was indeed clear that the person who surrendered was not the culprit, but what was his relationship with his father? Was he ordered by his father?
She still doesn't know the answers to these questions.
The most important thing is that she doesn't even know anyone who can solve her doubts.
It is definitely impossible to ask Song Yuanlie about it, not to mention whether he knows the inside story of this matter. Even if he knows, he will never tell himself without reason.
As long as these questions poured into Bai Wanrou's mind one after another, she couldn't help but feel a headache.
"Really, really? But why? What happened that would make my father choose to do this?"
Song Yinhua's expression changed rapidly. In fact, she didn't know that she had wrongly blamed her father.
She just wanted to know the reason why Song Yuanlie chose to do this.
"Since your father is unwilling to speak out, he must have his own reasons."
"But think about it, your father usually chooses to pursue the truth and facts no matter what case he deals with. Is the exception this time caused by other factors?"
Bai Wanrou's words were somewhat persuasive, and her tone could be called gentle. This appearance touched Chen Ruzhi's heart for some reason, causing his throat to tighten immediately.
In order to cover up his abnormality, Chen Ruzhi immediately picked up the cup on the table and started to pretend to be calm, but in fact his eyes kept falling on Bai Wanrou.
It's a pity that Song Yinhua, who was immersed in her own world, didn't see this scene. She bit her lip and said hesitantly: "Then, should I apologize to my father?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Wanrou knew that she had figured it out.
"Well, I'd better not get involved in this matter. The choice is in your own hands. Others can never influence your thoughts."
What she said always seemed so funny that even Song Yinhua, who was feeling depressed, couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, then I'm going to find my father. You two...?"
She originally wanted to ask Chen Ruzhi how he was preparing, but after she finished speaking, she saw that Bai Wanrou had already stood up.
"We will leave now without disturbing you and Song Si Cheng."
After saying that, she winked at Chen Ruzhi, which simply meant that they should leave early and it wouldn't be too late to say anything they wanted to say later.
Seeing this, Chen Ruzhi nodded, "Yes, we have prepared the carriage outside."
As they passed each other, he seemed to suddenly remember something and added casually:
"You'd better not spend too much thought on this matter. As Song Si Cheng is in a high position, he often has many unspeakable secrets and his behavior is no simpler than that of us ordinary people."
Long after he and Bai Wanrou walked out of the room, Song Yinhua was still stunned on the spot and had not recovered.
Are these words just admonishing yourself?
If she remembered correctly, the dignified Prince Jian'an was famous for being taciturn.
Today, I actually had a nice conversation with someone who was almost a stranger to me?
Song Yinhua felt that she was probably still in a dream and had not woken up. She shook her head and pinched her cheeks.
Finally, he went to find Song Yuanlie with an expression of disbelief.
At the same time, Chen Ruzhi outside Shuntian Mansion had just got on the carriage when he realized something was wrong.
Although Bai Wanrou was sitting next to him, her thoughts were probably far away.
But even without asking at this moment, he could tell that she was just worried about the relationship between Bai Fengqi and the person who surrendered.
Even though she never revealed that she was investigating her father, Lin Yi had been following her during that time, so it was difficult for Chen Ruzhi to know.
The fact was indeed not beyond his expectation. Bai Wanrou was indeed thinking about Bai Fengqi.
The tragic corpse she had seen before appeared in her mind over and over again. This was in sharp contrast to her father, who she had always believed to be a symbol of fairness and justice.
She didn't know when her kind father had turned into a man who was so ruthless that he would kill someone.
At this moment, Bai Wanrou hoped that all this was just her imagination. She couldn't wait for someone to tell her that the person who surrendered had nothing to do with Bai Fengqi.
Regardless of whether this can clear her father's suspicion, she will feel slightly better.
The only candidate Bai Wanrou can think of is her brother - Bai Qingting.
The chance encounter in the market that day and his experience of capturing her outside the library made Bai Wanrou feel that he must know something.
But... that being said, what reason should she use to meet Bai Qingting?
What's more, after you actually meet him, how can you get any information about Bai Fengqi from him?
When she thought of these two points, Bai Wanrou felt that she was under great pressure.
This matter was by no means easy, and it was not as easy as she imagined.
Bai Wanrou sighed, and the dejected look fell into Chen Ruzhi's eyes, which made his heart skip a beat for some reason.
After a while, she probably realized that there was someone sitting next to her, and her expression suddenly became a little different.
She had to admit that for a moment, she thought absurdly about whether she should ask Chen Ruzhi about this matter.
Almost within a breath, she gave up her thoughts.
The relationship between the two of them was already a little stiff due to her, and now that she was asking this kind of question, she knew without even thinking that Chen Ruzhi would definitely ignore her.
Before Bai Wanrou could remain depressed in this self-defeating mood for too long, a voice suddenly sounded in the small space of the carriage, startling her.
"Are you thinking about the relationship between the man who surrendered and your father?"
At first, Bai Wanrou hadn't figured out how he could guess what she was thinking.
But in the blink of an eye, she suddenly remembered that she had seen Lin Yi and Chen Ruzhi following her.
Thinking about it, he was afraid that he already knew by that time that she was secretly investigating something about her father.
Bai Wanrou sighed, she acted so cautiously at the beginning, but now she still couldn't escape him.
But it must be said that his question did attract Bai Wanrou.
So she hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Is it possible that you know the clues behind this?"
Probably feeling that her question was unnecessary, Chen Ruzhi turned away and stared at the car curtain for a moment.
After a long time, he replied: "I checked before when I had nothing to do. Although that person has nothing to do with your father, it does not mean that it is not his fault."
Hearing this answer, Bai Wanrou breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this is the answer I want.
In front of the threshold of the palace, the housekeeper and the two girls behind him waited for a long time before Chen Ruzhi arrived belatedly.
Looking at the three people waiting to greet her, Bai Wanrou almost missed a step when she went down the steps.
"You guys, what are you doing?"
Obviously, Chen Ruzhi couldn't quite understand such a battle, so he frowned and asked softly.
The steward had already expected this question from him and bowed down to answer, "Your Majesty, these two are all left behind from the group of people sent by the emperor. They are waiting here for your dispatch."
Hearing this, Bai Wanrou raised her eyebrows. If she remembered correctly, the emperor should have asked Chen Ruzhi to bring four or five girls back. Why are there only two left now?
Based on the doubts in her heart, she couldn't help but ask: "The emperor sent so many people, how come there are only two left?"
Hearing her voice, the housekeeper raised his head, a little surprised that she could ask questions, but he still answered like a servant:
"Because we have to serve the prince, the girls were screened the same day they were sent here, and only these two girls were left."
Hearing this, the two girls following the housekeeper immediately held their heads high, as if they were proud of it.
Seeing this, Bai Wanrou wanted to laugh slightly, but thinking that this was in full view of the public, she finally endured it.
"Your Majesty, what about these two...?"
After the housekeeper finished speaking, he raised his head and looked at Chen Ruzhi. The two girls immediately changed their gazes and stared at him with bright eyes.
Facing such a gaze, Chen Ruzhi didn't know what he could say. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Bai Wanrou, who was holding back a smile, and came up with a plan.
"After all, I have a princess, so I will leave this matter to the princess with full authority. After all, this is her responsibility."
Bai Wanrou was a little confused when her name was suddenly called, but she had no way to refute Chen Ruzhi's words.
So she kept holding back, and she could only force herself to say "Okay, I will arrange this properly" under the watchful eye of the housekeeper.
Finally, the two girls were brought back to the courtyard by Bai Wanrou.
"Miss, you are finally back!"
Before Lu Zhu could be happy, he caught sight of the two people following Bai Wanrou and paused in his steps.
Qingtang, who came out immediately behind her, also stopped and looked at Bai Wanrou with a little doubt in her eyes.
Knowing that her two girls may have been thinking about some random things, Bai Wanrou sighed and said with a forced smile:
"These two are the girls I want to arrange for you, young lady, so don't be too secretive and overthink it."
Seeing the happy scene of the three masters and servants, the two girls looked at each other and wondered what they were thinking about.
Bai Wanrou was so thirsty that she didn't bother to arrange errands for them. She walked into the room first and filled her own glass with water.
After a while, she turned to look at the two of them, her tone was soft, and the content of her words was even tentative.
"I wonder if you two have any ideas about your errand?"
Hearing that she actually asked for her opinion, the two girls were obviously overjoyed.
They cleared their throats, and one of them said coyly: "Princess... we want to stay with you and the prince to serve you."
Bai Wanrou chuckled softly and stroked the tip of her eyebrows. She felt her forehead hurt.
These two girls seemed to be new to the world, but they knew a lot, and they actually offered to serve by their side.
You might as well just say that you want to be Chen Ruzhi's maid.
She thought for a while, "Then I'll leave you two in the house and be maids. Is that okay?"
Although it was not stated that they were concubines, several people were well aware of this matter.
At the same time, in another courtyard of the palace, Yue Yi, who had just learned the news, was furious and lost his temper again in the room.
"This ungrateful Bai Wanrou thinks life in the palace is too peaceful, so she invites outsiders here again!" This chapter has been completed!
