Chapter 203 Questioning
Chapter 203·Question
It seems unlikely.
The second brother-in-law is now in his prime. Although he is muddle-headed and unreliable, and is not respected and trusted by Mr. Bai, he is the only suitable candidate in the Bai family who can inherit the family business. Mr. Bai is getting old again and is suffering from bereavements one after another.
son
The pain caused his body to be like a candle in the wind, with the possibility of falling down at any time. Moreover, since the death of Bai Yuanpei, the Bai family has no leader. Seeing that the situation is about to get out of control, Mr. Bai must hurry up and appoint a successor to the family business.
People stabilize the situation.
Brother Zhi is just a kid, he doesn’t understand anything, and he can’t be considered a threat at all. The second house is sure of winning, so why would he do such a thing at this time for his own benefit?
But besides the second room, who else could it be?
Tang's thoughts gave her a splitting headache, but there was still no result. At this moment, she thought of her husband Bai Yuanpei, and tears of grievance rolled out like a fountain.
If Yuan Pei was still here, how could he have fallen to this point?
On the wedding night, he vowed to whisper sweet words in his ears about eternal vows of eternal love, but now it seems that they were all empty words. All his promises turned into a cool breeze in his ears, and nothing was accomplished.
Tang's family has never experienced such a terrible thing since she was a child. When she was in her natal family, her mother and brother were in charge, and after she got married, she had her husband to support her. She was like a little flower that was carefully cared for, living in a greenhouse.
In my life, I have never faced the wind and rain head-on.
But at this moment, the deadly storm was right in front of her, and she didn't even know how to deal with it.
What should she do?
Not long after, it started to rain again outside the window. The sky was as cloudy as night, and the patter of rain made people upset. All Tang could think about was what happened last night.
The rain continued until the evening, but Mrs. Tang couldn't figure out the result even if she tried her best. At this moment, a few servants came in despite the rain, and walked quickly to Mrs. Tang's door.
The two women guarding the door said, "Old Master, please invite the Third Young Madam to come over."
The two women nodded in succession, "The Third Young Madam is in the house. I will ask her to come out right now."
The servant who spoke said, "After all, the third young lady is a female member of the inner courtyard. We are just ordered to invite people, but we are not able to take her there. If we don't bother two people, please help the two mothers to help the third young lady to go to the old master to talk to Qian'er.
"
The two women secretly exchanged glances, both feeling a little uneasy. But Mrs. Bai didn't dare not listen to her words, so she had no choice but to agree and went into the house to help the weak Tang up. People outside were looking for
An umbrella came, and she held it to send Tang out of the courtyard.
Tang Shi originally thought that these people would send her to Mr. Bai's yard, but she didn't expect that they would lead her on a completely unfamiliar road in a twists and turns. Tang Shi was confused along the way, and when she came to her senses,
Everything unfamiliar around her suddenly made her wary and uneasy.
In the years since I married into the Bai family, I never knew there was such a place in the family!
She barely struggled and asked in a low voice, "Where are you taking me?"
The two women used their hands to restrain her arms, but she didn't have much strength, so she couldn't break free from their restraints.
The person leading the way seemed not to have heard her words and continued walking forward without looking back.
The more Tang thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, so she struggled with all her strength. The two mothers-in-law had been frightened by Mother Yi's strange words and did not dare to go too far. They were worried about Tang's identity and did not dare to use it.
She exerted too much effort and was shaken so much that she almost sat down in a puddle.
The servant who was walking in front frowned in embarrassment when he saw that Tang was not cooperating. After thinking about it again and again, he said, "Don't be nervous, Madam Third Young Master. We have taken you for questioning on the order of the old master. We will be here a few steps ahead."
, just don’t worry. We do things according to people’s orders and don’t dare to talk too much to you.”
Mrs. Tang looked at him deeply and saw that he looked strange, as if he was not from the Bai family at all.
She asked nervously, "Who are you?"
The man explained, "We are servants serving Mr. Bai. We were not on duty in the inner courtyard of the Bai family in the past. Madam Third Young Master thinks our eyesight is normal. But Madam Third Young Master, please don't worry. The exact words the old Mr. Bai just said were to refer to you."
Bring it to him completely, so even if someone in the Bai family wants to harm you, we will do our best to protect you and prevent anything from happening to you."
Now Tang has no idea what to do, nor does she know who is her enemy and who is her friend? Besides, she has no strength, so even if she wants to resist, it will be in vain.
She simply straightened up and walked forward with the support of two women.
Not far ahead is a moon cave door, and behind the door is a bamboo forest. There is a bluestone path between the bamboo forests, and the surroundings are extremely quiet. Except for the sound of the drizzle, it is almost scary.
But now that things have happened, Tang has calmed down.
Her mother used to say something in the past - if you are upright, you are not afraid of slanted shadows.
Why should you worry about something you have never done?
She walked calmly and calmly through the bamboo forest, and saw a bright lotus pond in front of her. In the center of the lotus pond was a house with carved beams and painted beams, and a stone bridge led directly to the main entrance of the house. At this moment, the house was surrounded by servants with stern faces.
All of them stood with their hands behind their hands, some even stood in the rain, but their bodies did not move at all.
The group crossed the stone bridge and came to the door of the house. Tang looked up and saw the word "Qinfang" written on the plaque in front of the door.
The man leading the way stepped forward and whispered, "Old Master, the third young lady is here."
As expected, Old Man Bai's voice came from inside the house, "Well, let her come in."
There was no emotion or anger in his voice, and it was unnervingly calm.
Immediately afterwards, someone opened the door from inside, and the two women quickly carried Mrs. Tang in with their hands and feet.
The room is spacious and clean. Mr. Bai is wearing a blue-grey robe and sitting on the chair at the head. His face is extremely ugly. His pair of sinister eyes are like an eagle looking for prey in the sky, as if he is ready to pounce on you at any time.
Tang was brought to him.
Old Mrs. Bai waved to the two ladies who were supporting her, and the two ladies withdrew without even daring to breathe. The door was closed again, and only then did Tang see two ten-year-old ladies standing at the door.
Young men of five or six years old were guarding both sides of the door with lowered eyebrows and lowered heads.
Before Mrs. Tang could come to her senses, Old Master Bai shouted sternly, "Whore, what a good thing you did! My son Yuan Pei's body was still cold, and you did such a despicable thing. How can you deserve his affection? I only need a moment."
When I think of poor Yuan Pei, I want to cut you into pieces!"
Tang was startled by his voice and said in a panic, "No... no... I... I was wronged!"
"Unjustly accused?" Old Mrs. Bai snorted, "I knew you were capable of sophistry, but it's a pity that even if you have a brilliant tongue, you can't talk the dead into living things!" Without giving Tang Shi time to react, he said to the man standing guard at the door.
Humanity said, "Drag the adulterer up to me!"
The servant agreed, opened the door and said hello. Not long after, two strong men came in dragging a man who was beaten to a bloody pulp.
The man was beaten until he was dying, and there was no good spot on his body. He was thrown to the ground with a groan. Before Tang could see clearly, he suddenly crawled over and hugged Tang's legs, and kept saying "
Shouting, "Mrs. Third, please help me! Didn't you say you love me the most and want to run away with me? Please say a few nice words to the old man for me and ask him to let me go!"
Tang was so angry and anxious that she almost fainted on the spot. She wanted to kick him away, but she couldn't use any strength at all.
Old Master Bai sneered and snorted, "You are really a concubine. You dare to flirt in front of me. You two are brave!"
Two strong men came up and pulled the man.
But the man seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. He refused to let go no matter what, and kept shouting words like "Mrs. San Shao, please help me." The two strong men raised their heads and glanced at Old Mrs. Bai, only to see that his expression was even worse than outside the window.
The sky was even gloomier. The two men immediately kicked the man on the back. As soon as their feet passed by, the man couldn't help but let go of his hand in pain and screamed wildly.
Tang's skirt was completely stained with blood as he pulled it apart.
Old Master Bai said coldly, "I keep this tongue of yours so that you can speak. If you keep yelling like this, you won't have to speak in the next life."
The man was lying on the ground like mud. He shuddered when he heard the sound and said in fear, "I say! I say! I will say anything, old man. Please spare my life! I am also young and ignorant.
After being seduced by the Third Young Madam, this... then I started doing such sloppy things with her..."
Tang stumbled and almost fainted.
