Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 77 Murder

Li Qin's study is next to the water pavilion on the south side of Qiutang courtyard, and separated from Bai's courtyard by a small garden.

Nanny Qin ordered someone to lead the way with a lighted lantern, and she followed Bai Shi by herself.

Bai Shi has been seriously ill, and he has lost weight in the past few days.Nanny Qin hugged Bai's thin body, frowned, and whispered a few words to slow down.

Bai Shi didn't care about these things at the moment, she only felt that her heart was burning with anxiety, and she faintly felt her back sweating, and she still refused to slow down.

Entering the yard outside the study, Bai's heart skipped a beat when he saw a young man guarding the door, but he ran into Li Rui who came in a hurry.

Bai Shi glanced at the wrinkled corners of Li Rui's clothes, and knew that he had just gotten the news, and came just after getting up to approve the clothes.

Bai-shi looked behind Li Rui with a panicked expression, but luckily Zhao-shi didn't follow
But then I thought about it. The young couple slept in the same room, how could this incident not alarm the daughter-in-law?

A little shame appeared in Bai's eyes, and he turned his face to avoid Li Rui's worried gaze, and walked into the study without saying a word.

A layer of sweat broke out on Li Rui's forehead, he opened his mouth to call his mother, when he saw Bai entered the study with a pale face, he hurriedly followed.

In the study, Li Qin sat in the main hall with his brow resting on his face.Li Pu hung his head, stood with his hands and feet shrunk, his face was embarrassed and panicked, and the roots of his ears were burning red.

Seeing Mrs. Bai come in, the father and son raised their heads at the same time, and their eyes lit up instantly.

"Mother--!"

Li Pu stepped forward, holding Bai Shi's hand tightly, looking for a savior!Fang wanted to complain, but this matter made him ashamed to speak. Thinking of his mother's current situation, Li Pu's face darkened, and he looked at Bai Shi with distress.

Holding her son's cold fingertips, Bai's heart was like a blunt knife.

Her chest was swollen and painful, but she didn't dare to show it, so she patted the back of Li Pu's hand lightly, restraining the soreness in her heart, and coaxed softly:

"Brother Pu is obedient, let's go back to the room and rest, I'm going to the academy tomorrow, I can't leave behind my homework, my mother is here"

Li Pu lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on his mother's trembling fingertips, he endured and endured, just about to open his mouth, he caught a glimpse of Li Rui standing behind Bai Shi, and shook his head quietly at him.

Li Pu gritted his teeth, pushed the door out without looking back, and never looked at Li Qin from the beginning to the end.

Suppressed sobs came from the inner room, Bai Shi let out a breath slowly, stabilized his mind, turned his face away from Li Qin, went to the door of the inner room and lifted the curtain.

Xue Suqin gagged the two women, tied her hands and feet and pushed her to the ground, wearing only a thin silk skirt, her face was already soaked with tears and covered her face like mud.

Seeing Bai Shi coming in, Xue Suqin's eyes flickered, and she whimpered at Bai Shi.

Mrs. Bai was unmoved, but Mrs. Xue couldn't help showing a look of anxiety. She struggled to get up, and wanted to kneel in front of Mrs. Bai, but she asked the two women to come forward and grab her hair, and dragged her back. return.

Xue Suqin fell to the ground again, a big cut was made in the silk skirt, revealing her white and glaring skin, looking in a state of embarrassment.

When the women saw Mrs. Bai coming, they felt even more confident. They pushed and pushed Mrs. Xue, cursing:
"I don't know where the cheap hooves came from! How dare you run in front of our wife to be presumptuous! Dressed like this, you still have the face to go out!"

"Pooh--!"

"It's really dirty our brother's eyes!"

Bai's whole body trembled with anger, her nails pierced into her flesh and blood oozes, she stared at the panic in Xue's eyes, gritted her teeth, and reprimanded:
"Shut up!"

The two maids were taken aback for a moment, and they all looked at the furious Bai, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

"The old slaves have overstepped their bounds and begged my wife to forgive me."

The women bowed their heads and begged for mercy, but their hearts were filled with astonishment.
It stands to reason that Mrs. Xue seduced the second master behind the back of the mistress and lost her body before, and she did such a despicable thing before she was carried in the door, but she was smashed by the second son in person. The mistress should not tolerate Xue's talent yes!
Bai Shi held his breath, blood dripped down his knuckles and splashed on the bluestone floor, which was shocking.

Mother Qin blurted out:
"lady--!"

Regardless of etiquette, Nanny Qin went straight past Li Rui, took out the handkerchief from her sleeve pocket, broke off Bai's fingers and wrapped them carefully, tears fell:

"Ma'am, what are you doing?"

Li Qin was also taken aback, and hurriedly got up and walked behind Bai Shi, looking at Bai Shi's hand wrapped in a handkerchief, he clenched his fist, his voice trembling:

"lady."

Li Qin called out, only to realize that his throat was very hoarse, and his throat seemed to be stuck, with soreness:

"Ma'am, everything is my fault, only this person! I will definitely not take him into the room"

"master!"

Bai interrupted Li Qin's words in a cold voice, closed his eyes without looking back, held the door frame with one hand, and took a deep breath:

"Master, go back to your room and rest."

"Ruige, talk to your father for a while, and your mother will come over in a while."

Li Rui squeezed the corner of his clothes, raised his eyes and looked at his parents worriedly, thinking that the mistress should really be the one to take care of the matter in the backyard, so he responded, stepped forward and pulled Li Qin, and invited him out study.

With his heart hanging in his chest, Li Qin followed Li Rui with heavy steps, turning his head back and forth every step of the way.

When he was about to leave the courtyard gate, a loud slap came from the inner room, Li Qin paused and looked over, and finally told Li Rui to pull out of the courtyard gate.
"How dare you!"

Bai's eyes were piercing, staring at Xue with blood-red fingerprints on his face, he paused every word:
"You want to get started, I will accept it. I may be the concubine, but you are so disregarding face, you come to my son."

Bai's teeth were chattering in anger, pointing at Xue's dirty face, he felt a severe nausea in his chest.

Xue Suqin showed her face today, only wearing a layer of tulle, just now she knelt on the ground for a long time, in the early autumn night, Xue Shi kowtowed to Bai Shi tremblingly and begged for mercy, but she had no choice but to be choked up. Can't make a sound.

Since the second master consummated the room with her last time, he never asked her or said anything to her. Since then, he has lived in the yamen and never even returned home!
Although the Bai family accepted her as a noble concubine, her heart has never been at peace since the Dong Ji incense powder shop went wrong for no reason...

Originally pointing to the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that the master lives in the study today, he can win Li Qin's heart!After all, which man can not steal, and Bai's age is also old...

But Mrs. Xue never expected that the second young master came just after she touched the door... Li Qin was so frightened and angry that he immediately asked his mother-in-law to tie her up, and kept saying that he wanted to drive her out of the house!

"Mr. Xue... Do you really think that I dare not touch you?"

Bai Shi stared at her coldly.

Xue Suqin stared at Xue Shi in a daze when she heard the words, her hands and feet trembled.

"lady……"

Nanny Qin asked the mothers-in-law to guard the door of the study, stepped forward and whispered to Mrs. Xue:
"The Xue family is leaving for Beijing, and they should be there in two days..."

Xue's complexion relaxed a little after hearing the sound.She looked at Xue Shi thoughtfully, her eyes were cold, and she said slowly after a while:

"This scandal has already started... If you don't want your natal family to take it back, go to Hua'an Hall tomorrow and ask the old lady..."

Xue Shi raised her head suddenly, and met Bai Shi's eyes glowing with gloomy light...
