Chapter 1854·Arson

Bai Xiurui left the house without looking back. The boy followed hurriedly behind him and asked nervously, "Second Master, where are we going?"

Bai Xiurui was also a little confused for a moment.

Yeah...where are we going?

Seeing this, the waiter quickly suggested, "I heard that there are many new dancers at Paramount. Would you like to go over and have a drink?"

Bai Xiurui was getting angry, and when he heard the sound, he glared at the boy fiercely, "What are you doing? Don't you think you've done enough to embarrass yourself?"

After losing the last match against Zeng Mingwei at Paramount, Bai Xiurui hated others mentioning Paramount in his ears.

He is now almost becoming a laughing stock in Shanghai.

The boy also knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly shrank his neck and said, "Why don't you... go to Rouge Alley and sit for a while?"

Bai Xiurui nodded and walked out the door with a calm expression.

The boy followed quickly.

Rouge Alley was noisy and lively at night, with laughter and tunes everywhere. When Bai Xiurui came to a restaurant he often frequented, the madam came up to him quickly and said, "Ouch, isn't this Mr. Bai? What have you been busy with lately? ?You don’t even want to show your face, everyone is always talking about you.”

These people were greeted and escorted, talking to each other and telling ghosts. Bai Xiurui was really not in the mood to deal with them, so he walked towards Haitang's house.

Seeing this, the madam hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Mr. Bai, Miss Haitang is not feeling well today and can't accept the guests. We have a new one named Xiaoxiang in our restaurant. She can sing ditty first-rate. Let her have a few drinks with you." good?"

Bai Xiurui glanced at her gloomily, "What's wrong with Haitang?"

The Madam's eyes were evasive and she said, "She is unlucky. Isn't she sick? If she had known that Mr. Bai was coming today, she would have gotten better no matter what."

Bai Xiurui sighed helplessly, and the madam sent him to Xiaoxiang's house.

Not only was this room more than half the size of Haitang's, but the decoration was also extremely old-fashioned. There was also a vague smell in the room. Bai Xiurui frowned and said, "Madam, you want me to drink in a place like this? What's wrong with your head?" Was it caught in the door?"

Seeing that he was angry, the Madam Madam said quickly, "Mr. Bai, calm down. Even if I have 10,000 courages, I don't dare to neglect you! There really is no other place in the restaurant, so you can make do with it and I will give it to you later." Send me a pot of pear flowers."

Bai Xiurui said with a stern expression, "What? Do you think I can't afford Lihua Bai?"

The madam knew that she had offended him, so she could only bite the bullet and said, "The second master is very wealthy. Who in Shanghai doesn't know that? Xiaoxiang, Xiaoxiang! You damn girl, where have you been? Why don't you hurry up and serve Bai Bai?" Second Master."

Hearing the sound, a slender little girl walked out of the house. She looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old. She had not much flesh on her body, was dry, and her head was lowered, looking like she was tied up. Bai Xiurui didn't like it.

He turned around and walked outside the house.

The madam hurriedly caught up, but before she could speak, she saw the door of Haitang's house being opened. Haitang, who was wearing a bright red cheongsam, said drunkenly, "Come and clean up, the eldest young master of the Lu family is drunk. "

What else does Bai Xiurui not understand after seeing this?

He gave the madam a cold look, turned around and walked out the door.

By the time the bustard chased her to the gate, Bai Xiurui had long disappeared. She was so angry that she stamped her feet, "Oh, my mother! Why did you offend this mourning star?"

Turtle Gong, who was busy serving food and wine, saw this and said, "Master, who in Shanghai is not waiting to see his jokes now? What are you doing with him?"

The bustard said, "What do you know? There are still three kilograms of nails in the broken ship. Although Bai Xiurui is stupid, his father is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Looking back, can our small family and small business be compared with the Bai family?

If you hit your tongue with an egg, isn't that asking for death?"

The madam was worried, and there were calls for food from other houses. She could only cheer up and serve, and gradually forgot about Bai Xiurui. But no one expected that late that night, the restaurant would suddenly catch fire for no apparent reason.

, it happened to be dry and the wind started blowing at night, this is great, it keeps burning

Not only did they occupy seven or eight houses, but also the neighbors were implicated. The madam screamed secretly, and intuitively felt that Bai Xiurui was looking for someone to take revenge, but the restaurant was burned to pieces, and the girls were huddled together in disgrace.

, everyone was trembling with fear, where could she go to find evidence?

After Bai Xiurui listened to his subordinates' report on the progress of the matter, he picked up the wine glass with satisfaction and said, "Well done! Even I dare to neglect these people who are relying on people's power. I don't think how can she do business?"

The subordinate said cautiously, "Fortunately, it was discovered in time and no lives were lost."

Bai Xiurui said indifferently, "So what if he makes a fuss? Not to mention that he can't trace me here, even if he traces it, would he still dare to exchange my life for those people's lives?"

The subordinates did not dare to say anything and lowered their heads to wait for orders.

Bai Xiurui took revenge on the madam, and felt much relieved. He waved his hand and said, "You can go down first."

The men retreated quietly.

Although her son did not relent, Ms. Cai felt that the matter of taking concubines could not be delayed any longer. She ordered someone to call Du Xuexi over early in the morning. When she saw her eyes were red and swollen, she immediately said displeasedly, "Look at your virtue.

All the blessings of our family have been taken away by your crying. I am still alive, and your parents are also alive. I cry all day long. Is it because I am short of food or food for you?"

How dare Du Xuexi speak, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Ms. Cai glared at her and continued, "Brother Rui wasn't resting at home yesterday, was he?" Before Du Xuexi could speak, she continued, "You are a daughter-in-law, and you can't even win over your husband's heart, so what?

That's a dereliction of duty. As a daughter-in-law, your stomach hasn't moved after you've been in the house for so long.

Jing, this is unfilial. Tell me, what’s the use of having a freeloader like you at home? I’ve already discussed it with Brother Rui, and I’ll give him a concubine with two rooms in a few days. Then you and I will

Be nice and don't cause any trouble, it will make everyone look bad."

Ning's mother, who was standing behind Du Xuexi, couldn't believe what she heard.

An eloquent young couple takes concubines within less than a year of their marriage. Is there any Cai family that would do this to a mother-in-law?

But I heard Du Xuexi say softly, "I obey my mother's orders."

Ms. Cai was now a little satisfied, "You are sensible. You serve me wholeheartedly, and I will not treat you badly. When I give birth to children in the future, they will all be recorded in your name. You are the legitimate mother, and no one will be missing."

your."

Du Xuexi nodded.

Ms. Cai waved her hand, as if to shoo away flies, and said, "Go ahead."

Du Xuexi then left with Ning's mother.

Ms. Cai looked at her daughter-in-law's back, curled her lips and said, "She is quite smart and knows that she can survive only by obeying my wishes. Otherwise..."

There was a hint of cruelty in her eyes.

The close mother did not dare to say anything and served her carefully.

Ms. Cai took a sip of tea and whispered, "What is Linglong doing these two days?"

The close mother said, "The eldest lady doesn't go out very often and doesn't see people. She eats all the food she brings in."

Ms. Cai sighed helplessly, "Now that I know it's hidden, what's the point? When I said that to her, she was just listening to one ear and wasting her life for that Guan Bozhou. Now it's good, it's a scandal.

After traveling thousands of miles, you feel that you have no face to see anyone? If I had known this, why did I do it in the first place?"

The close mother said, "Don't say that, the eldest lady is also feeling wronged."
