don't wear no acquaintance

"Back... back to you, sir, I only saw a man in black clothes and a black scarf... he... he..."

In the prison cell of the Jingwei Institute, Li Yuzhu woke up and faced Bai Shile's interrogation. He couldn't help but recall the terrible scene in his mind. He was instantly tongue-tied, his face turned pale, his whole body was trembling, and he couldn't keep his knees up.

"Everything I saw is true. This is an important place for the imperial court. No one can come even close. You don't need to be afraid."

Seeing Li Yuzhu's frightened look, Mao Yu on the side spoke to comfort him.

"Did you see the appearance of the perpetrator that day?"

Seeing that Li Yuzhu's mood gradually calmed down, Lei Ting asked directly.

At present, all clues have been cut off, and all their hopes are pinned on Li Yuzhu, and they feel somewhat anxious.

"To tell you what, sir, it was dark at the time, and the man was wrapped very tightly, so I didn't see his face clearly, but..."

After enduring the fear and recalling the scene again, Li Yuzhu plucked up the courage to reply;
Only halfway through his words, he began to hesitate again, which made Lei Lei, who was anxious beside him, frown in displeasure;
"But no matter what, just come back truthfully."

Lei Ting was already thick and tall, and his voice was a bit louder than normal people. This question made Li Yuzhu, who was already full of respect and fear for them, couldn't help but tremble, and then he hurriedly answered, not daring to There is not the slightest delay;

"The villain was hiding in the dark and heard the person speaking, and the voice was that of a woman..."

"Woman? Are you sure?"

Li Yuzhu's words surprised Lei Lei, who took a few steps forward and stared at him to question.

"Little... I am sure that the person is smaller than the little man, and with her voice, I dare to risk my life to assure you that she is definitely a woman."

Perhaps he was really frightened. Faced with Lei Ting's question, Li Yuzhu raised his head and answered in the affirmative.

Next, after another interrogation and everything was clarified, Li Yuzhu was taken away, and Bai Shile, Lei Ting, and Mao Yu also left;

"The murderer is a woman. Do you think this is credible?"

After stepping out of the cell, Mao Yu looked at Bai Shile who was silent and asked.

"What do you two think?"

Bai Shile, who was becoming more and more arrogant, did not answer the question directly. Instead, he turned around and asked Mao Yu and Lei Ting while walking. He pretended to be confident and had the strategy in mind, but in fact he just kicked the ball to others and pretended to be deep.

"In my opinion, this matter is credible."

Lei Lei, who had a straightforward temperament, answered first, and after receiving Bai Shile's encouraging look, he continued;

"At this time, Li Yuzhu's courage was completely frightened. He was in panic all day long and wanted to catch the murderer more than anyone else as soon as possible. Therefore, he had no reason to lie about this matter."

Lei Ting's statement was reasonable and well-founded, and it was exactly what Bai Shile was thinking, but she still didn't rush to express her position, but asked Mao Yu again;

"What do you think, Master Mao?"

"Back to my lord, my opinion coincides with that of Lord Lei, but what puzzles me is who is this woman and why does she act like this? Is she following orders, or is there something else unknown to me? Purpose?"

Indeed, Mao Yu asked the question that confused them the most and puzzled them the most.

"If we want to figure it all out, we still have to work hard!"

In the end, Bai Shile could only answer helplessly.

Although they had some clues, it was still extremely difficult to find out anything. Before they could figure out any clues, Bai Shile received the news that the Crown Prince of Yong was leaving the capital with his family, which made 'her' Caught off guard, he finally waited until the next shift and rushed home impatiently. Master Bai, who wanted to go out for a drink with her, missed the opportunity. Many adults in the court couldn't help but gossip;
"The commander really loves home, so he rushed home impatiently!"

"Young and fresh, after all, we are newly married!"

"Exactly, the virtuous lady is a model of a woman with both talent and virtue. No wonder the commander is so anxious to return home!"

"Master Bai is so lucky. His daughter was born well, and his son-in-law was even better found!"

"Lord Wang, you are too praiseworthy!"

"I really envy Master Bai!"

"you are welcome……"

"Master Bai has a good way of teaching his daughter..." "I don't dare to take it seriously..."

Amid the envy and jealousy of his colleagues, Mr. Bai was both happy and embarrassed at the same time. He quickly responded with a few words of humility and took Bai Quan home. He gave up all thoughts about going out for drinks.

However, he felt that he wanted to find a chance to have a good chat with his 'son-in-law'!
……

"Ye Lingyu and Qian Yihe left the capital. Did they run away because they heard some rumors?"

As soon as she entered the door, Bai Shile couldn't wait to ask loudly. After seeing the people in the room clearly, 'she' looked embarrassed and guilty.

"You're getting more and more out-of-touch. The sound of someone coming in hastily comes before they even come in."

Zhao's mother, who was talking to her 'daughter-in-law', was surprised when her 'big son', who usually had a straight face, came in with a roar. She couldn't help but joke.

After all, in more than 20 years, I have never seen such a son!
It really lives up to the old saying;

Men don’t really grow up until they get married!

At this time, Zhao's mother couldn't help but secretly sigh, she could see her feelings for her 'son and daughter-in-law', and she was so happy in her heart that she couldn't help but glance at Zhao Yunshen's flat belly under the quilt, thinking that maybe she would have good health soon. The news comes;

Zhao Yunshen, who was feeling unwell, immediately understood what his mother meant when he saw her look in his eyes. He felt helpless in his heart, and his previous resistance gradually faded away.

"Mother Ann!"

When Bai Shile came back to her senses, she immediately calmed down her expression and stepped forward to say hello, playing the role of a taciturn but filial and polite 'good old man'.

"Sit down and talk!"

"Thank you mother!"

Although she didn't know what it meant, the words she just said sounded so true to Zhao's mother that she couldn't help but stare at Bai Shile, a 'good old boy', and start to guess;
"Why are you so anxious?"

"It's nothing serious."

Facing her mother-in-law's questions, Bai Shile pretended to be calm and perfunctory.

"It's not a big deal. The Crown Princess of Yong previously said she would come to the house to talk to her daughter-in-law. Unexpectedly, they left the capital in a hurry. That's why my husband reacted like this."

Seeing his mother's confused eyes, Zhao Yunshen had no choice but to make up lies to smooth things over.

"That's right. Because of this, I hope my mother will forgive my son for being rude!"

Bai Shile, who hurriedly got off the donkey, nodded along with the 'daughter-in-law's' lies, and apologized to her mother-in-law after she finished speaking. However, Zhao's mother was fooled, and knowing that the two of them had something to say, they got up wisely;
"You guys talk, I'm coming over, you don't need to send me away!"

Seeing that her daughter-in-law had a pale face and was about to get up to see her off, Mother Zhao quickly asked her to lie down, and then went out with her "fake eldest son" Bai Shile;

"I'm a woman who doesn't understand the affairs of the imperial court, but you'd better not take your troubles home and have fun with me. Don't you think 'he' is not feeling well?"

"Yes, son remembers!"

"A husband should act like a husband. It's always right to be considerate and considerate to your wife. Don't spend the whole day busy with other things and neglect your wife, children, and children!"

Bai Shile...

Where did she get her wife and children?

"Yes, the mother taught her a lesson, and her son remembered it!"

Although she was speechless in her heart, Bai Shile answered respectfully on her face, which made Zhao's mother happy and satisfied, so she let 'her' go;
"Go in and talk to Le'er, there's no need to send her off!"

After saying that, Mother Zhao turned around and walked towards the old house with the support of the maid and her mother-in-law. Bai Shile, who stayed behind, also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, go slowly!"

Seeing her mother-in-law enter the door of the old house, Bai Shile turned around and entered the house...
