The atmosphere was in a deadlock again.
Although the servant was not biased, and what he said was basically the truth, Master Bai and Bai Shi 'an, who had rushed over after hearing the news, felt their left eyelids twitching.
Could it be that things were as they had guessed?
Both of them were trembling with fear. Their son was seriously injured, but they could not question Su Mei directly.
The last two incidents were enough to teach them a lesson. They could not easily come to a conclusion, or they would be embarrassed.
After thinking for a while, Master Bai opened his mouth in a relatively friendly manner.
"Miss Su Mei, can you tell me what happened at that time?"
Lin Mengya, who had turned into a whining monster, raised her head from her husband's arms, trembling.
Compared to the previous two times when he was calm and composed, this time he was rather pitiful.
"Yes, it was Master Bai who ordered Shui Zhi to kill me."
Her words shocked everyone.
The Bai father and son looked at each other in shock. Suddenly, an extremely bad feeling rose in their hearts.
"How, how could this be possible?"
Subconsciously, Bai Shi 'an could not believe it. These words made Gong Er, who had failed to get credit for saving his sister, very unhappy.
"What's impossible? When we arrived, this crazy woman was still muttering about wanting to kill my sister. Could it be that my sister took the initiative to provoke her? If not for the timely arrival of someone, I'm afraid that my sister would have lost her life in vain. You have to give us an explanation for this! "
Gong Er was tall and sturdy to begin with. When he unleashed his rage, it was hard for anyone to resist.
Suddenly, the Bai family fell into an awkward situation.
After pacing around, Bai Shi 'an looked at Shui Zhi and could not help but frown.
"Isn't this woman the one who framed me?"
He remembered that this woman had been sent out of the mansion by his second sister-in-law. Why would she appear here?
His heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered what his eldest brother had said to him a while ago.
"Could it be that this woman really did something to the Gong family?"
While he was thinking about this, Bai Huaan, who had been informed by the servants, also arrived.
Shui Zhi, who was curled up into a ball in the room, was like a wild cat that smelled the scent of fish. She lowered her head and rushed out.
"Second Master, you really came. Are you here to marry me?"
Bai Huaan was forced to stop in his tracks as he stared blankly at the woman in front of him.
Then, he seemed to barely recognize who the person in front of him was and tentatively called out to her.
"You are, Shui Zhi?"
"Yes, Second Master, I am Shui Zhi! If I help you kill him, you can marry me in the future, right? "
Bai Huaan was completely dumbfounded. He had no idea what the other party was talking about.
However, the faces of the Bai family members in the room instantly turned pale.
Lin Mengya was not afraid that Bai Chunan would retract his confession after he woke up.
After what had happened last time, Shui Zhi could not continue to be Bai Jiarou's personal maid.
In that case, it was obvious who had let her into the courtyard and who had ordered her to kill people.
"Beast, kneel down!"
Patriarch Bai was infuriated.
It was hard for him to claim that he had been loyal to his wife all his life and that all the children at home were affectionate and righteous.
He did not expect that such a scourge would appear!
Although Bai Huaan had not figured out the current situation, he had rarely seen his father so angry.
Without saying a word, he knelt down in front of his father.
"Let me ask you, what's the relationship between you and Shui Zhi?"
How shameful!
His father looked at his daughter's maid. This, this was so shameful!
Bai Huaan looked at the crazy Shui Zhi, and then at his father and third brother, who were livid. He suddenly understood and hurriedly complained of being wronged.
"I have nothing to do with Shui Zhi. Father, please understand!"
"If that's the case, why, why did she say those words? Are you going to lie?"
Bai Huaan was anxious and hurriedly said that he did not dare to. But he was really innocent, how could he admit it?
Clan Head Bai was also enraged. He raised his teacup and was about to smash it down. Fortunately, Gong Qianfeng stopped him and advised, "Alright, I don't think my second nephew is an immature person. Perhaps, there might be some misunderstandings."
Patriarch Bai let out a long sigh and did not smash the teacup.
Seeing that everyone was here and the time was ripe, Lin Mengya stopped pretending to be pitiful.
"Senior Bai, please calm down. After all, there was another person at that time. Why don't you ask him? "
After being reminded by her, Patriarch Bai remembered that Bai Chunan was also there at that time.
He hurriedly called for a doctor to ask when he would wake up.
"Now Master Bai has woken up, but his internal injury is serious and he needs to rest."
Patriarch Bai waved his hand and asked the irrelevant people to leave.
Lin Mengya also returned to Long Tianhao's side. The couple looked at each other tacitly and said no more.
Soon, Bai Chunan was carried up by the servants.
Long Tianhao's punch was not light, but it was not enough to kill him.
At this time, his face was pale and his eyes were listless. He looked extremely weak as if he had been seriously ill.
"Father."
"Chunan, tell me, what's going on?"
Bai Chunan had already prepared a script. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the lady beside him say, "That's right. I also want to know why the maidservant that Second Master likes would appear in the garden with Second Master?"
Instantly, Bai Chunan felt a little uneasy.
But he managed to suppress it and said in a weak voice, "I didn't want to come out when I knew that father would be entertaining distinguished guests today. But when I passed by the garden, I saw them fighting. I wanted to pull them away, but I didn't expect that I would be beaten up indiscriminately. Su Mei, I know what happened last time was our fault. But you shouldn't bear a grudge and secretly kill me, right? "
What a good way to complain first.
If Lin Mengya was not the person involved, she might really believe his nonsense.
However, she was not afraid of it.
"Master, do you mean that I attacked you for no reason?"
"Young lady, I thought that you had let go of your grudge by coming here, but I didn't expect you to do this …"
"Shut up!"
Clan Head Bai shouted angrily. Bai Chunan, on the other hand, thought that he had laid enough groundwork.
His father would definitely use this reason to cut off contact with the Gong Family.
He didn't think that the Bai Clan Leader would look at him with extreme disappointment. This made him panic a lot.
"So, this is how you became their big brother with lies!"
"Father, I didn't!"
"Big brother, you disappoint me."
Bai Chunan said slowly, and his words were filled with uncontrollable frustration.
Bai Chunan gritted his teeth. Why did things turn out like this? Why did his family not believe him?
"Don't listen to her. She's trying to shirk responsibility because …"
"Master, why don't you tell us in detail why I attacked you?"
Lin Mengya interrupted him coldly.
Bai Chunan had already realized that the current situation was disadvantageous to him, but he refused to open his mouth easily.
However, he kept looking at his father and brother, hoping that they would "suddenly come to their senses".
"Before you woke up, Su Mei only said that it was you who instructed Shui Zhi to kill her. Other than that, she said nothing else. Furthermore, she insisted on waiting for you to wake up before continuing to investigate the truth of the matter. "
Bai Chunan rubbed between his eyebrows, and his words were stained with fatigue.
Bai Chunan did not expect that when he fainted, Lin Mengya did not slander him.
"Also, just now Second Brother said that Shui Zhi had been expelled from the Bai Family by Second Sister-in-law. Big brother, why did she appear in the courtyard? How could it be such a coincidence that you ran into her? "
This matter was obviously full of loopholes.
None of the people present were blind.
Lin Mengya walked up to Bai Chunan calmly and smiled.
"According to what the maidservant said just now, she came to kill me on behalf of the Second Master. So, all of this was done by the Second Master, right? "
Bai Chunan was stunned.
He did not expect things to turn out this way.
"She's a lunatic. How can you believe the words of a lunatic? I think you're the one with ulterior motives!"
"Alright, if we can't believe the words of a lunatic, then we can believe the words of a non-lunatic, right? Where's the maidservant who accompanied me to rest just now? "
Bai Chunan's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.
At that time, he thought that his plan was foolproof. Moreover, once Su Mei died, the Gong Family and the Bai Family would definitely make a big fuss.
At that time, who would pay attention to the little maidservant?
Bai Chunan felt a chill in his heart. Had Big Brother lost his mind to such an extent?
Fortunately, it did not take long for the steward in charge of searching to bring the maidservant over.
Looking at this scene, the maidservant seemed to be a little timid.
"Don't be afraid." Bai Chunan softened his voice and asked, "Tell me, why aren't you by Miss Su Mei's side?"
The maidservant shrank her neck and replied in a soft voice, "Initially, I saw that Miss was a little cold, so I wanted to go to Second Madam's room to find a piece of clothing for Miss to wear. However, I didn't expect that I would be knocked unconscious just after I left the courtyard. When I woke up, I found that I was sleeping outside the garden. It was my carelessness. Please punish me, Third Master. "
"In that case, do you still remember who knocked you out?"
The maidservant tried hard to recall, but with great difficulty, she could only remember a shadow.
"It seemed to be a very thin and weak man. Oh yes, when I was struggling, I even scratched him!"
The only men present who were related to this matter were Su Yan, Gong San, and Bai Chunan.
When the two men in front heard this, they immediately rolled up their sleeves and stretched out their uninjured arms to prove their innocence.
Only Bai Chunan's eyes widened and his breathing quickened.
"Big Brother, what about you?"
Bai Chunan already knew the answer, but his big brother still looked like he was going about things the wrong way.
"Don't, don't tell me that even you don't believe me? I'm your big brother, your biological brother! "
Even so, Bai Chunan's gaze still fell on the hands that Bai Chunan had hidden in his sleeves since the beginning.
"As long as Big Brother is innocent, I'll definitely stand on your side."
