Marshal, your vest is off

Chapter 19

"..."

Cheng Qing closed his black eyes slightly and looked at him suspiciously.

what happened?

Is this guy too talkative?

Is there some conspiracy?
Bai Xiuyuan smiled softly and said, "I have no conspiracy, so you can rest assured."

Being exposed, Cheng Qing touched his nose innocently. Of course, he couldn't admit that this was what he thought. He smiled lightly and said, "Cheng Qing can naturally trust Mr. Bai's character. How could he think that Mr. Bai has any conspiracy?"

Bai Xiuyuan sighed slightly, stopped smiling, looked at her and said, "Qing'er, you should call me Brother Bai."

"?!!!"

Cheng Qing looked at him in horror, is this guy not sick?

She was so shocked inside that she ignored the reaction of her heartbeat skipping a beat due to the sound of "Qing'er".

"Are you surprised?" Bai Xiuyuan was both asking and telling the truth. For some reason, he especially wanted to know at this moment how it felt to take advantage of the marshal?
There was an intoxicating look in his black and white eyes, making it difficult to see his true thoughts.

"That night I just thought of the Marshal and felt uncomfortable. I didn't reject you. The Marshal and I are brothers. If he knew that I didn't treat his sister as my own, I'm afraid he would blame me."

Who the hell is a brother to you?

Thinking of the many mutual quarrels in the past, Cheng Qing felt more and more that she couldn't understand Bai Xiuyuan.

He was the one who criticized her the most. When she died, he was the one who was the saddest.

It's even better now, telling such nonsense in front of her, and saying it with a straight face, as it should be.

If she didn't know everything, she would have been deceived by his 'sincere' look.

But...then again, she is not Cheng Yue now, so what can she do even if she knows?

Can you still fight back?

Obviously not, she is not that stupid yet.

Seeing Cheng Qing's frustrated reaction, Bai Xiuyuan felt refreshed in his heart. The corners of his mouth slightly curled up again, and his sullenness was gone.

"Aren't you willing?" Bai Xiuyuan asked.

"I..." I don't want to, a thousand unwillingnesses!
Cheng Qing, who was reminded of all the things in the past, called him 'Brother Bai' again, and she couldn't do it!

Shouting means bowing to the person who has always refused to admit defeat. This meaning has been upgraded and is completely different from before.

But her reason kept reminding her that she was not Cheng Yue now!
If you say you don’t want to be happy for a while, what about later if you don’t want to?

Bai Xiuyuan wanted to ask why, what reason did she use to justify the lie?

"So you're so unwilling? Forget it, I don't have this blessing." Bai Xiuyuan showed a sad expression.

"..."

Bai Xiuyuan was good-looking to begin with, just like a handsome young man from an ink painting. Such an expression made people feel sad.

Cheng Qing, who couldn't resist beauty in his bones, had to restrain his instinct to feel distressed, but also wanted to beat up this hateful person.

She felt as if she had eaten a fly and couldn't spit it out or swallow it.

Want to kill!
God, tell me, this guy did it on purpose, right? !
Did Bai Xiuyuan already know the truth, so he deliberately messed with her? !

Congratulations Cheng Qing, you guessed it right.

It's a pity that Cheng Qing didn't know it at all, and he was constantly on the verge of hitting someone.

"I suddenly remembered that my brother didn't seem to be taking his medicine. I'm going to have a look. We'll discuss this later. I'm leaving now. Goodbye!"

After saying that, Cheng Qing turned around and strode away. As he walked, he said, "My brother just doesn't take medicine well. What if he gets sick again? It's so worrying." Looking at her back, it looked more like she was running away. , Bai Xiuyuan showed a happy smile, but soon turned to tears and joy.

Fortunately she was lying to him and didn't really die.

Cheng Qing, the days ahead are still long.I won't send anyone to track down your past, I want to hear it myself.

Cheng Qing, who had escaped, felt for the first time how terrifying Bai Xiuyuan was. Whether she admitted it in her heart or not, it was indeed the first time she had escaped in such embarrassment in front of him.

……

Zhao Wuyuan reported the encounter with the assassin in the Taishi Mansion to the emperor.

The emperor was furious and reprimanded the Minister of Punishment, telling him to find out the truth within a time limit, otherwise he would pack up and leave!

The Minister of Punishment was very frightened and went back after receiving the imperial edict.

In addition, the emperor specially sent the Royal Forest Army to protect the Taishi Mansion, and decreed that no one except those in the imperial court could enter the Taishi Mansion to pay homage to Marshal Cheng.

Mr. Li, the Minister of Punishment, went back with the imperial edict with a headache. He didn't know what to do when the sedan carrying him suddenly stopped.

"What's going on?" He felt agitated and his tone became much worse.

The people outside replied anxiously: "Sir, sir, there is a young man in white blocking the sedan chair in front of me."

Young man in white?

Master Li opened the sedan curtain and saw Bai Xiuyuan, who looked like an immortal, standing five steps away with a faint smile.

He quickly got off the sedan, with a smile on his greasy face, "It turns out to be Mr. Bai."

Although Bai Xiuyuan did not accept the emperor's reward, he received a gold medal arrow.

Seeing a gold medal is like seeing an emperor, so even if Bai Xiuyuan is just a commoner, Mr. Li would not dare to take it lightly.

"Bai Xiuyuan has met Lord Shangshu." Bai Xiuyuan bowed his hands.

"Young Master Bai, you don't need to be polite, you don't need to be polite!" Mr. Li smiled and said, "I wonder why Mr. Bai came to me?"

Bai Xiuyuan got straight to the point: "Your Excellency, you should know that Bai has a close relationship with Marshal Cheng. Now that Marshal's family has been so humiliated and is being assassinated by assassins, how can Bai just sit idly by and ignore it?"

"So Mr. Bai is here?" Mr. Li's smile disappeared and sweat broke out on his forehead.

Bai Xiuyuan continued: "Of course I came to Mr. Li to ask for justice. Does Mr. Li still remember what he said in the court two days ago?"

Master Li turned pale and shook his hands to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Of course he remembered.

He said that without anyone's help, the Criminal Department alone could catch the person who took away the Cheng family's subsidy.

But now, not only was the criminal not caught, the victim was almost killed.

The face of their criminal department was completely disgraced.

"Bai, Mr. Bai..."

"What? Don't remember?"

"Remember, remember."

"Presumptuous! How did you talk to adults?!"

When Mr. Li said he remembered, the boy behind him couldn't help but yelled at Bai Xiuyuan angrily.

"Shut up!" Mr. Li turned around and glared at the boy, then turned to look at Bai Xiuyuan with a smile and said, "No one can see it, Mr. Bai, don't blame me."

Bai Xiuyuan looked at him coldly and said, "As long as Mr. Li remembers it, if you don't remember it, I'm afraid the generals who followed Marshal Cheng on the battlefield will not agree."

"It's all your fault, Mr. Bai, please don't tell the generals." Mr. Li apologized repeatedly, but how could he show off his power as before?
