Xun Ziyang, on the other hand, had obviously not expected this.
He had thought that the other party would at least come to settle scores with him aggressively. Who knew that the other party was even calmer than him.
The words that he had prepared beforehand were instantly lost.
On the other side, Bai Lu, who did not know anything about him, said warmly, "One look at Brother Ah Long and I know that he is a righteous person. You've really helped Zi Yang a lot this time. "
The more Bai Lu spoke, the angrier Xun Ziyang became.
"Enough!" He lost control of himself and scolded. Then he immediately realized that something was wrong. He quickly softened his expression and put on a fake apologetic expression.
"I'm sorry, I was a little emotional. Thank you, especially Brother Ah Long. I will definitely remember your kindness."
He said the last half of the sentence through gritted teeth.
Lin Mengya was very happy to cause trouble for such a person. She waved her hand and said, "It's alright, it's not worth mentioning. But after we came here, Master Xun has taken good care of us. If we can help out, it can be considered as a repayment to Master Xun. "
Apart from Bai Lu, who did not know anything, the others understood what was going on.
Xun Ziyang felt a breath stuck in his throat. He could not speak for a long time. He only glared at them and then left in a huff.
Bai Lu was confused. He frowned and looked at Xun Ziyang's back.
"Sirs, Ziyang has been in a bad mood recently. I hope you can understand."
Lin Mengya smiled and nodded. She looked calm and magnanimous.
But in her heart, she could not help but laugh coldly.
Could he not keep his cool just like that? Then this person had better learn to be obedient. Otherwise, there would be a time when he would be angry.
She turned her head and looked at the man next to her.
Although he had helped Xun Ziyang find the item, but his actions afterwards made her feel that he was not bad.
"Brother Bai Lu, right? You seem to be very familiar with this residence?"
"I am a rough person. But a few years ago, I received a lesson from Teacher Xun Yang. Sigh, Teacher has lived a magnanimous life. Who would have thought that he would end up in such a situation. It really makes one feel that the world is unpredictable. Luckily, Ziyang invited a divine doctor. "
Lin Mengya could tell at a glance whether he was sincere or not.
Xun Ziyang was in control of everything in the residence. Even if she wanted to see the patient, it would be difficult.
He did not know if he could find a breakthrough from Bai Lu.
"Yes, we are here because of the old man's condition. By the way, I wonder what kind of old illness you are suffering from? "
When Bai Lu heard this, he took a few more glances at them.
He thought that they were doctors, so why would they ask him?
Lin Mengya immediately put on a guilty look and said, "To tell you the truth, we met a miracle-working doctor who treated you with a secret method when we just arrived. So far, we haven't seen the patient. I also know that my talent is shallow, and I just want to improve a little bit. "
Everything she said was true, thus she managed to gain Bai Lu's trust.
"So that's how it is. Actually, Sir's body was fine before this. However, ever since he had a serious illness three years ago, his condition had not been as good as before. I think it might be because of anger. "
Three years ago? Her sharp eyes caught on to the important information.
"Just what happened three years ago that Sir Xunyang's illness would be so severe?"
But this time, Bai Lu did not answer.
He only vaguely said that it was because of something that made Sir Xun Yang so angry that he was bedridden for more than half a month. Since then, he had been suffering from a chronic illness.
After that, Bai Lu used the excuse of patrolling to bid them farewell.
"It's so mysterious, there must be something strange about it."
She narrowed her eyes and looked at the steward who was hiding in the corner and watching them.
"Let's go back and rest."
It was just something that happened three years ago, she would definitely dig it out.
The second day after the incident with the money bag, Bai Shi 'an received an invitation from them.
It was the same restaurant, and the same private room.
However, Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao had changed their disguises.
The private room had been booked by Bai Shi 'an, Third Master Bai.
But what outsiders did not know was that the owner behind the scenes of this restaurant was also the legendary ignorant and incompetent Third Master Bai.
Seeing them come, Bai Shi 'an immediately asked anxiously, "Is there any progress on the matter?"
Lin Mengya gave a rough account of what had happened in the past few days.
Bai Shi 'an's face was full of disbelief.
"According to you, the one who harmed Sir Xun Yang was actually Xun Ziyang? That's impossible, how could Xun Ziyang harm Sir? They, they are father and son! "
There was actually such an inside story!
Lin Mengya was slightly surprised, but because she had experienced too many things before, it was not the first time she had seen a father and son kill each other.
Some people, for the sake of profit, would even betray themselves, not to mention their parents.
In their eyes, there was no such thing as a bottom line.
"But, since they are father and son, why does Xun Ziyang still call Sir Xun Yang 'Sir'?"
Bai Shi 'an's expression became slightly awkward when this question was brought up.
"This matter involves an old case. Sir originally had a son, but when he was five years old, they were separated by accident. Later, someone came to look for him, and the father and son finally recognized each other. But they didn't expect that the son was a fake. Three years ago, he came to the Bai clan to study. Sir Xun Yang cherished talent and took him in. But Xun Ziyang didn't expect that Sir Xun Yang's son was actually his childhood playmate. Moreover, it was that person who tricked him into speaking, took his keepsake, and snatched his position. Sir Xun Yang investigated and verified Xun Ziyang's story, but that fake son insisted that Xun Ziyang was talking nonsense.
Sir was also very attentive to that son. Originally, if the fake son had admitted it, he would have at least adopted him. Unexpectedly, not only did that person not repent, he even wanted to take the opportunity to kill Xun Ziyang. For this reason, Sir Xun Yang was so angry that he was bedridden and fell seriously ill. Later on, Xun Ziyang took the initiative to suggest that he could refuse to recognize his ancestors and only serve at his side as a student. Sir felt very guilty towards him, so he gave him the position of chief disciple and the name Xun Ziyang to show that he was unique. "
This story was truly rather complicated.
But when Lin Mengya heard it, she had a different conjecture.
"That Sir Xun Yang has a stubborn personality. Once he's decided on something, not even a mountain of daggers or a sea of fire would be able to change it. If the fake son really is a fake, then he's of the same lineage. "
In truth, she didn't have any proof. She just wanted to disgust Xun Ziyang's character.
Bai Shi 'an had similar thoughts as her. Sighing, he continued, "I've seen that person. To tell the truth, I also don't think he's a bad person. It's just that back then, of all the things he shouldn't have done, he shouldn't have moved against Xun Ziyang. Otherwise, the situation might have taken a turn for the better. "
"I don't think so."
Lin Mengya shook her head and pursed her lips.
"He can't even tolerate us, so how could he tolerate someone who can affect his position? What's more, I'm afraid he's already very familiar with framing others. "
It was said that mountains and rivers could change, but a person's disposition was hard to change.
If Xun Ziyang dared to act against them so brazenly, then he might dare to frame that person.
"That's right, where did this fake son go after that? Is it possible to find him now? "
Bai Shi 'an gave her a puzzled look.
"Why do you want to find him?"
"Of course it's to find out what happened back then."
"But, what does this have to do with Sir Xun Yang's illness?"
"I can be sure that Sir Xun Yang's illness acted up because he was plotted against by someone else. If we can't solve the problem at its root, then even if we treat Sir Xun Yang's illness now, he'll probably be used again in the future. "
Regardless of whether or not Sir Xun Yang was in cahoots with those people, at the very least, if everyone in his estate was removed, then even if he wanted to do something, he wouldn't have any helpers, right?
Bai Shi 'an thought about it and felt that what she said was very reasonable.
However, there was still some hesitation on his face.
"Is there a problem?"
"This … In truth, I do know where this person is. But, he might not be willing to see you. "
This was truly like wearing out iron shoes in fruitless search, only to find it by chance without even looking for it.
However, what she was even more curious about was how Bai Shi 'an knew of this person's whereabouts.
Presumably, the doubt in her eyes was too blatant, causing Bai Shi 'an to rub his nose in embarrassment.
"You also know that I don't do much in the family. I befriended him because I felt that his character wasn't bad. He was punished by the guards of the Bai clan for injuring someone and had one of his legs broken. After that, he was thrown out of the city. In any case, I was good friends with him, and I really couldn't bear to see him die in the Yellow Springs, so I gave him a place to go. "
This explanation was a little like revealing the truth.
But Lin Mengya didn't want to make it seem like she was extorting a confession through torture. Moreover, who didn't have a little secret?
"Then where is he now?"
"He's in the manor where your Gong clan is living. He's good at taming horses, and I felt that it was believable that he'd been neglected, so I let him go to the manor to raise horses. "
So it turned out that he was right under their noses.
Lin Mengya inadvertently met Long Tianhao's eyes, and from the latter's eyes, she saw the same thing that she was thinking.
This manor was the private dowry of the old master of the Bai clan. Back then, because she had taken a son-in-law into the family, she had never used it.
Perhaps not many people knew about this, so Master Bai dared to let them stay here.
But Bai Shi 'an knew this place, and was even able to put people in.
This Third Master Bai really had a lot of secrets.
Now that they knew where the person was, they were no longer anxious.
Because they only knew about this matter, but had no evidence.
After all, this was an old matter from three years ago, so there wouldn't be much evidence left.
Coming out of the restaurant, they changed back into their disguises and returned to Teacher Xunyang's mansion.
