Chapter 240
"Since you can't see me, then naturally don't ask, just tell me honestly, otherwise your life will be in danger." Bai Zhi changed her voice and replied coldly.

The servant girl knelt down with a plop and kowtowed in all directions.

"I beg the gods to spare this servant, but this servant has no other choice. My younger brother is on duty for the third prince. He came to me in the morning and asked me to come to Miss Bai's room to find out if there are any ancient books or secrets when there is chaos in Duke Shen's mansion. Ben, give me 100 taels of silver, it's a servant who is obsessed with ghosts, and made such a mistake, please forgive me."

After hearing this, Bai Zhi unconsciously raised her lips and sneered.

It seems that after Yijiang Niubi was secretly arrested by them, the third prince lost his right-hand man, and the newly hired Taoist priest has not yet arrived. It can be seen that he wants to find Taoist secrets from her for a while.

What an idiot. How could he let him search her things so easily?

Thinking of this, the thread in Bai Zhi's heart became clear.

The third prince was behind the farce in Duke Shen's mansion again.

Thinking of this, she followed her plan and sighed: "Since you know you shouldn't steal for money, why do you still do it?"

The servant girl kowtowed and cried: "My younger brother said that if I don't help them this time, the whole family will die unexpectedly. If I help them, I can get at least one book and two silver."

Bai Zhi believed that she was telling the truth. She looked like an honest person and would not lie at all.

"Forget it, if you find any books, you can take them anyway. With Bai Zhi's ability, those books are actually useless."

Saying this, she made a decision and quietly hid the two ancient Taoist and Zhuyoushu books she had secretly hidden under her pillow.

After hearing this, the maid kowtowed gratefully and said thank you, crying that she had met a good god.

Under Bai Zhi's secret guidance, the maid got the two books placed under the pillow.

An expression of surprise appeared on her face for a moment, but then she got tangled up and muttered to herself: "Should I just take one book, it shouldn't be, Miss Bai can't take it away..."

Before she finished speaking, Bai Zhi hummed beside her, "Stealing one copy is stealing, and stealing two copies is also stealing. If you steal two copies, you can earn an extra 100 taels."

The servant girl asked in surprise: "The gods are still there? Is this appropriate?"

"What's inappropriate? When you get the money, you leave the capital immediately with your brother and the whole family, and go to the countryside to buy two acres of land and live a self-sufficient life, isn't it good? But remember one thing, this time the gods will protect you. I never had such good luck this time. Don’t do bad things again. It’s ignorant of your conscience. It’s better to earn money with your own hands as a family. For 200 taels of silver, you can buy a few thatched huts and two acres of Susukida. If there is any left over, save it for a rainy day.”

Bai Zhi's voice softened a lot, but she still pretended to be a man's voice.

The maid didn't know it was a lie. After kowtowing again and thanking him, she took two books and left.

Bai Zhi quietly followed her to the back garden, and then gave two books to her brother at the gate of the back garden.

The two of them had discussed the secret code for their connection in advance, and everything was done without anyone noticing.

Everyone in Duke Shen's mansion was attracted to the front yard to watch the fun.

No one knows what happened here in the back garden.

"You go with your brother, get the money, and leave with your family quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Bai Zhi saw that the maid had no intention of leaving, so she whispered something beside her.

The maid was shocked after hearing this, but then she showed a grateful expression on her face. Just when she was about to say thank you, Bai Zhi blocked her from saying thank you.

The servant girl was frightened again, and ran away.

Bai Zhi stood at the back door and saw no one around, so naturally no one paid attention to them. She closed the door, pretended that nothing happened, and returned to her room.

Only then did she feel the suffocating pain in her heart again.

It was as if someone was stabbing her chest vigorously with a knife.

Find out the kind of emergency medicine given by Grandpa Bai with caution, and take a pill of Baizhi.

Soon, she felt that although there was still a knife stabbing her heart, the pain was not that intense.

After putting away the medicine bottle, Bai Zhi came to the front yard again.

It was still noisy, and there were more people watching the excitement, and even some people from outside the house squeezed in.

Bai Zhi's lips curved into a sneer.

There will be a good show in a while.

She squeezed back into the circle and stood next to Mrs. Shen.

"Zhi'er, where were you just now?"

Madam Shen turned her head to look at her and asked worriedly.

Bai Zhi smiled at her and replied sheepishly: "I suddenly felt anxious."

"I want the title of Mrs. Dafang. It doesn't matter whether I live with you or not. Since Nian Bo is the eldest son, I must be the first wife, the first wife, so that my son will not be called someone else's mother. You can give us another To live in Xunzhaiyuan, but the scale must be comparable to this Shen Guogong’s mansion, or even better, it’s almost impossible..."

Mrs. Yuan was negotiating terms on the tree, as if she was taking a step back and not fighting for the real status.

Mrs. Shen smiled faintly and hummed: "Then why not come to Duke Shen's mansion and be the first wife? If we build another house in this house, the whole family will be in trouble."

She was amused by Mrs. Yuan's request.

Shen Guogong also echoed: "That's right, this Shen Guogong's mansion is still an official residence rewarded by the emperor, I can't afford to build it at all."

"Then don't think about kicking us out, just find a small house and dismiss him like a beggar, otherwise the eldest son will still be like the eldest son, and will the original wife still be like the original?" Mrs. Yuan quit.

Bai Zhi's head hurts from hearing this, and if she continues to argue like this, she won't be able to reach a conclusion for a day.

She saw Jing Zhaoyi standing there idly, watching the excitement with great interest, and asked, "How will Mr. Jing Zhaoyi deal with it?"

Jing Zhaoyi was questioned out of the blue, the smile on his face was too late to take back, so he could only pretend to cough to cover it up.

"Ahem...Well, since Shen Nianbo is the son of the Duke of Guo, he will naturally be placed as the eldest son of the Duke of Guo, and Mrs. Yuan..."

As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Shen, and saw that she was calm, so he tentatively said: "It's all up to the Duke's arrangement?"

These words have made it clear that he is on the side of Mrs. Yuan and her son.

Bai Zhi nodded slightly, and said sternly: "Very good. Since Jing Zhaoyi supports Mrs. Yuan's mother and son to answer everything, and you are an adult invited by them to uphold justice, then please tell me what is suitable for status placement. I think Madam and Grand Duke will definitely not reject your arrangement."

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen immediately responded: "I agree with Zhi'er's suggestion. Mr. Jing Zhaoyi can make arrangements. It's up to you."

When Duke Shen Guo heard that his wife listened to Jing Zhaoyi, he was naturally more willing: "I also agree."

Jing Zhaoyi looked flattered: "I'll arrange it?"

Several people nodded at the same time.
