Bai Jiarou looked like a weak and gentle person, but she was actually quite ruthless.
Bai Shi 'an had rushed to their house for the sake of her grievance. Now, it was such a great irony.
"Should we help Bai Shi 'an?"
Lin Mengya asked in a low voice.
The first branch had grasped Bai Shi 'an's weakness, not because Bai Shi' an was too weak.
Long Tianhao held her little hand and shook his head with a smile.
"There's no need. He still has some ability. However, we have to give him a warning."
Bai Shi 'an was trapped in his courtyard, but he was not anxious. He just sat in the room day after day, thinking about a problem.
In the end, did his niece, Bai Jiarou, know about this?
He was framed by Bai Jiarou's maidservant. That woman only came to him on Bai Jiarou's orders to send him some things as an apology.
At that time, he thought that his niece understood and accepted his painstaking efforts.
Unexpectedly, when he woke up, he was slandered by that woman for being immoral after drinking.
Everything that happened afterwards was like a dream hidden in the mist, vague and indistinct, giving off a sense of unreality.
The only thing he remembered was that his second brother pleaded for him, knelt in front of his father and tried his best to suppress the matter.
Therefore, after he was whipped, he was locked in the courtyard and was not allowed to step out of the house.
"Is Youngest Uncle inside?"
Bai Jiarou's gentle voice came from outside the door.
Bai Shi 'an clenched his fists, but then loosened them.
He had doted on this child for more than ten years like a daughter. She would not let him down, would she?
However, he found that even he found it hard to believe this excuse.
Because as long as Bai Jiarou said that she was the one who sent the maidservant, he would not be too miserable.
Unexpectedly, Bai Jiarou only said that she did not send anyone to deliver anything, and that he was the one who sent the maidservant away.
Ha, what a good niece.
If it wasn't for her, how could he have been fooled so easily?
Since when did this child become a stranger to him?
"Youngest Uncle."
The door was opened by the servant, and Bai Jiarou stood timidly by the door with a food box in her hand.
Her face, which was as delicate as a flower, was still young and immature.
Bai Shi'an rubbed his dry eyes and nodded.
Bai Jiarou walked in quietly and opened the food box in her hands.
The dishes inside were exquisite, but Bai Shi'an no longer had the desire to eat.
Bai Jiarou laid out the dishes, then took out a pair of bamboo chopsticks and handed them to him with both hands.
"Brother-in-law, I know you're unhappy. But no matter what happens, you can't not take care of your body. "
Her sobbing voice almost melted Bai Shian's heart.
After all, this was a child that he had watched grow up. How could he be so heartless?
He sighed helplessly, took the chopsticks, and put them on the table.
"Lil 'Rou' er, I just want to ask you, do you know about this?"
Bai Jiarou immediately lowered her head and clutched her clothes tightly with her small hands.
Seeing her reaction, what else did Bai Shi'an not understand?
However, he did not question him harshly. Instead, he asked from the bottom of his heart.
"Why do you want to harm me?"
"No! Brother-in-law, I'm not trying to harm you. I just hope that you won't stop me anymore! "
She wept like a pear blossom in the rain and knelt on the ground.
"Brother-in-law, you're the only one who loves me the most since I was young. Whatever I want, you can help me get it. Why don't you love me this time? "
These words directly stabbed into Bai Shi'an's heart, making it ache.
"I don't love you? If I don't love you, how can I put down my pride and go to the Gong family to seek justice for you? If I don't love you, I don't have to worry about you. Lil 'Rou' er, do you know what you're doing? "
Bai Shi'an only felt that this child was really too muddle-headed.
What kind of character was Su Mei? After these days of getting along with her, he was sure that she was just worried about him and the Bai family.
If Lil 'Rou' er really fell into her hands, she would be skinned alive in one round.
And that Su Yan, that person seemed to be a cold-hearted person.
He probably did not even see through his niece's appearance before he lost interest in her. Why was Lil 'Rou' er so muddle-headed that she could not see through him?
"I know what I'm doing, Brother-in-law. I feel that he's not completely uninterested in me. It's said that it takes a veil for a woman to pursue a man. I believe that as long as I work hard enough, he will definitely be able to see my true feelings! "
"He doesn't care! Bai Jiarou, do you have any shame? He's already married! "
"I don't want to snatch him away. I just like him. If he can understand my feelings, that's enough. "
Bai Jiarou expressed her feelings in tears, but Bai Shi'an was so shocked that he did not know how to answer.
"You, are you crazy?"
"I just met someone that I shouldn't have met. Brother-in-law, I beg you, don't stop me. Just love me this time, okay?"
Bai Shi'an closed his eyes. Forget it, he only hoped that Su Mei would let her live on account of him helping them.
"Get lost!"
"Brother-in-law!"
"I don't have a shameless niece like you. From today onwards, don't step into my courtyard again. Get lost!"
Since young, when had Bai Shi'an, her uncle, ever said anything harsh to Bai Jiarou?
So when she heard her uncle's words, she was almost dumbfounded.
But this time, her uncle's attitude was very firm. Bai Jiarou could only cover her face and run out of the courtyard.
"Sigh, what a sin!"
Bai Shi'an only felt that all the strength in his body had been sucked out. He really could not understand why Bai Jiarou was so obsessed with Su Yan.
Could it be that that person had really seduced his niece before?
Then, he shook his head and denied his own opinion.
He had seen the way Su Yan looked at Su Mei. That pair of eyes that seemed to be indifferent to everything would only ignite a burning heat when he looked at his wife.
If that kind of person fell in love, he would wholeheartedly and disregard his own safety.
Where would there be a place for Lil 'Rou' er?
He rubbed his swollen and painful forehead. What exactly went wrong?
"Third Master, someone outside has sent you some things. Do you want to personally look at them?"
He originally wanted to say leave it for now, but then he remembered that someone who could send things in at this time was probably not an ordinary person.
"Bring them in."
The servant carried out his orders, but it was a set of clothes that he had previously ordered.
However, the belt placed at the very top was not the style that he had previously favored.
If he remembered correctly, this set of clothes should only be delivered half a month later.
Because half a month later, it would be the old master's birthday celebration.
He had originally planned to personally go on stage and entertain the family with colorful clothes, so he had ordered these clothes to be hastily made.
Now it was delivered, and the belt was decorated with jade and pearls. It was much more expensive than the one he had ordered before.
He inspected the clothes and found nothing wrong with them.
Finally, he picked up the belt.
Examining it inch by inch, he finally discovered that the most important piece of jade seemed to have been sewn unstably.
With a little force, he pulled it off.
Sure enough, there was a small note stuck to the back of the jade.
Unfolding it, there was only one message.
"Master Xunyang is out of danger."
Just this one message was enough to make him heave a sigh of relief.
Finally, he did not suffer this sin in vain.
After burning the note, he casually stuffed the clothes into the cupboard.
Although he was out of danger, there were still some things that could not be easily put at ease.
It seemed that it was time to move on to the next step.
On the day that the news was sent, Lin Mengya and Long Tianhao received another piece of news.
Bai Shi 'an, who had been silent all this time, had committed suicide to prove his innocence.
However, the incident this time had caused a huge uproar.
He seemed determined to make a big deal out of it. In the end, the head of the Bai family had no choice but to order a thorough investigation.
"This Third Master Bai is really going all out. He doesn't even care about his reputation now."
Lin Mengya teased after receiving the news.
An uncle molesting a niece's maid was a big deal even in those unseemly aristocratic families.
What's more, it was a family like the Bai family.
Long Tianhao was not surprised. As he massaged her shoulders and waist, he commented.
"Now that Bai Shi 'an has made a big deal out of it, the other party will definitely do his best to remedy the situation. In any case, he doesn't have a good reputation. He won't be afraid of being bitten by lice. "
She nodded. This was reasonable.
The other party had thought that Bai Shi 'an would be concerned about Bai Jiarou's reputation and would definitely not make a big deal out of it. Who would have thought that he would be so ruthless?
It seemed that Bai Jiarou had really violated his taboo.
"All right, we don't have to worry about him anymore. But how much longer will it take for this matter to end? "
Long Tianhao pressed his lips against her ear and asked in a low voice.
Lin Mengya did some calculations.
"At most, it'll be in the next two days. As long as he wakes up, we won't have to worry about the rest."
"All right, I'll have them prepare to receive him."
Master Xunyang's awakening meant that many things would have to be reshuffled.
She believed that Bai Shi 'an would definitely think of a way to protect Master Xunyang. The following matters would be much easier to handle.
She got up and tidied up her disguise. By now, most of the red threads in the courtyard had already been removed.
She once more went to Master Xunyang's bedroom. When she saw that there was still no movement on the bed, her mind raced.
People would always try to escape from some realities that they found hard to accept.
She cleared her throat and walked to the side of his bed.
"Does Teacher know why your head disciple, Xun Ziyang, hasn't been attending to your sickly state these past few days? That's because he killed someone. Do you know, Song Xing? He was the steward of the estate, the one who first expressed goodwill to Xun Ziyang, but he was killed by Xun Ziyang. "
In the current situation, Master Xunyang could actually sense everything that was happening in the outside world.
So Lin Mengya no longer stood on ceremony and decided to provoke him.
Still no movement? She continued.
