Unsurprisingly, on the second day after the incident, they received an invitation from Bai Shi 'an to meet them.
Just like the last time, when they arrived at the restaurant, Bai Shi 'an was already there.
When he saw the two of them, he was not as anxious as the last two times.
"You're here, take a seat."
The two of them were still sitting opposite him, but this time, Bai Shi 'an was frowning.
It seemed that they had met with some difficulties.
"What's wrong, Third Master?"
Bai Shi'an raised his head and looked at them with some displeasure.
To be honest, he was a little envious of the couple.
No matter when or where, there was always someone accompanying her. How fortunate would that be?
This person could be a lover, a relative, or a friend.
Anyway, he would not be as lonely as him.
Lin Mengya did not know what he was thinking, but Long Tianhao felt a sense of crisis and held his wife's hand.
His wife was too popular, what should he do if she had many rivals in love?
Of course, he would chop them up and plant them in the soil like garlic!
Lin Mengya didn't know that her man would be so imaginative, but she subconsciously felt that her man was not happy. She held his hand back, and their fingers intertwined. There was no more distance between them.
On the other side, Bai Shi 'an only felt that he was becoming more and more lonely.
Sigh, if he had known, he would not have made himself suffer.
"If, and I mean if, one day, Miss Su, you find that the person you know is not the person you are most familiar with, how will you deal with it?"
Obviously, there was a hidden meaning in Bai Shi 'an's words, and Lin Mengya could not guess what he was thinking. She could only say after some deliberation, "That depends on whether the other party is deliberately deceiving you or he has no other choice."
In fact, in the world of adults, who did not hide their true selves and put on a mask to disguise themselves?
Especially in such an aristocratic family. Did Bai Shi 'an not also use unrestrained and unrestrained to hide his true self?
However, it seemed that he had suffered a big blow for asking this.
She just did not know if it had anything to do with the matter she was investigating.
Bai Shi 'an laughed self-deprecatingly. In fact, how could he not know?
The three of them were silent for a while. In the end, it was Bai Shi'an who could not help but say, "Yesterday, I went to the guards' camp. Other than Steward Song's death, I also found out about something else."
He stared at the cup in his hand. The floating tea leaves reflected his thoughts.
"Back then, it was Xun Ziyang who framed Feng Chen. However, the person who testified that he was telling the truth was my big brother."
Feng Chen was the name of the fake son.
But Lin Mengya didn't expect that there was such a background.
Besides, wasn't Bai Shi 'an's elder brother in poor health and bedridden all year round?
Why did he get involved in it back then?
"But I heard that your eldest brother doesn't care much about family matters. Isn't everything decided by your second brother?"
"I'm afraid that's the reason."
Bai Shi 'an said bitterly, and Lin Mengya immediately understood.
It was said that if the eldest son of the Bai family was healthy enough, then the power of the Bai family would not fall on the second son.
However, even though his body was weak, it didn't mean that he didn't have his own thoughts.
"This …"
Lin Mengya was too embarrassed to continue. To be honest, she still couldn't trust Bai Shi 'an completely.
After all, there were only three brothers in the Bai family.
If Bai Shi 'an wanted to use them to get rid of his two brothers, it was not impossible.
Therefore, it was better to be cautious about some things.
"I know what you're thinking. In fact, I've long given up on the position of the head of the family. The three of us have been very harmonious since we were young. When the eldest brother was still in good health, the second brother and I had a very leisurely time. But, but how did it become like this? "
She wasn't very clear about this matter.
Perhaps it was the passing of time. When everyone grew up, they would feel that there was a gap between the world they had envisioned.
That was true. The world created by children was mostly relaxed and beautiful.
But in reality, it was not so relaxed.
Bai Shi 'an wasn't asking for their opinion. He probably had been holding it in for a long time and wanted to vent it all at once.
Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao silently listened. When that person had said enough, the box quieted down once more.
"That's right, I heard that this time, you were also targeted by Xun Ziyang? This Xun Ziyang, why does he want to act against you again and again? "
Lin Mengya lowered her eyes and lightly hooked her hand around Long Tianhao's finger.
The latter lightly clenched his hand, indicating that she could say anything and not have any misgivings.
"That's because he's afraid that we'll find out that Sir Xun Yang isn't simply suffering from a relapse."
"What do you mean?"
"We once sneaked in and discovered that Sir Xun Yang was actually heavily poisoned. And if nothing unexpected happens, in a few days, his body will weaken and he will die. "
Whether it was the divine doctor or Xun Ziyang, they were all just waiting for this day to come.
Lin Mengya's words caused Bai Shi 'an's brows to tightly knit together.
"Poison? Just who in the world wanted to deal such a vicious blow to Sir Xunyang? But, why does it have to be him? Could it be that they want our two families to become enemies from now on? Isn't, isn't this a bit too far-fetched? "
In truth, Lin Mengya had also thought this way before.
No matter how righteous the Bai family was, it was still a great family.
If the Gong family paid a sufficient price, they might be able to request the Bai family's help.
But at that time, both families would suffer enormous losses, the gains not making up for the losses.
If they really wanted to take this matter to the extreme, there were plenty of ways to do so.
But after reading those letters, she finally understood why the other party wanted to target Sir Xun Yang.
Because once he died, the Four Tai Academy would be lost, and it would even cause her, the head of the Gong family, to fall into disrepute.
Their methods could only be described as vicious.
And when they searched Sir Xun Yang's bedroom, those letters had disappeared without a trace.
It was obvious that the person behind the scenes felt that it was still not time for the letters to come to light.
This also meant that besides Xun Ziyang, there were other people in Sir Xun Yang's estate who knew the inside story.
In the future, they would have to be even more careful in their actions.
"I don't think so. Sir Xun Yang's status is rather special. If he really did die because of the Gong family, then it won't be so easy for our two families to become friends."
To be on the safe side, she didn't say everything.
Because right now, they weren't sure if Bai Shi 'an had anything to do with this matter.
Bai Shi 'an was convinced and nodded. "Mm, I know the gravity of the matter. Today, when I saw that fake divine doctor, I feel that he's a charlatan. I feel that I can start from this aspect. Otherwise, with them around, it'll be inconvenient for you all. "
Bai Shi 'an had lived in Fengyuan City for many years and had come into contact with all sorts of people.
He had seen far too many charlatans and charlatans.
Now that someone had dared to trick him, the Third Master Bai, this was tantamount to provoking the Tai Sui.
"This matter isn't urgent. I've already used a method to preserve Sir Xun Yang's life. However, I'm afraid that as time goes on, some people won't be able to endure it. "
Bai Shi 'an understood these words.
"I'll clean up those people as soon as possible. Oh, that's right, has my niece gone to see you recently? "
The two glanced at each other. Seeing the unashamed look in their man's eyes, she knew what was going on.
"I don't think so. None of us received any news. What happened to Young Lady Bai?"
"Ah, I don't even have the face to mention it."
At this point, Bai Shi 'an's face clouded over with gloom.
How had he never realized that little Rou 'er had such a stubborn personality?
Ever since the misunderstanding between him and Su Mei had been resolved, he had been patient and hadn't said anything.
But he didn't know what was wrong with his little niece. Almost every day, she left the estate and didn't go anywhere else, only standing guard at the city gate.
At the start, he didn't know what was going on.
Later on, when he sensed that something was wrong, he went and asked the people at his niece's side. It turned out that this silly girl was actually waiting for Su Yan, preparing to run into him by chance.
At that time, he was so angry that he scolded his niece severely for the first time in many years. He told her to behave herself and not to do such a shameful thing again.
Unexpectedly, Bai Jiarou fainted from crying. After that, she no longer paid attention to him, her youngest uncle.
She also ordered the servants not to say anything about her daily whereabouts.
In recent days, he only knew that his niece had brought someone out, but he didn't know where they went.
To be honest, he was a little worried.
"No matter what, Third Master, you should know that it's not good to force things."
She raised the corner of her mouth and spoke politely and gently.
But Bai Shi 'an, who was sitting opposite, could sense a hint of murderous intent in her words.
He instinctively shook his head. He had heard many anecdotes about the Master of the Gong Family and Mr. Su Mei.
Although they looked like weak little girls, when it came to doing things, they were even more decisive and efficient than a man like him.
Even if he was stupid, he wouldn't easily offend such a person.
Very satisfied with his attitude, Lin Mengya didn't mind reminding him.
"Instead of asking outsiders like us, why don't you find out the reason why your niece's character changed so much?"
Actually, Lin Mengya wasn't surprised. Although a girl like Bai Jiarou seemed to be gentle and sweet, it was because of this that they thought that everything would go smoothly as they imagined.
Unfortunately, she was a vicious woman like Snow White's stepmother. She would always let those pampered girls who were raised in the boudoir feel the malice from the real world.
"I'll find out the truth myself. I won't let her cause trouble for the two of you. For my sake, please don't argue with a child like her."
