Chapter 497

Jiangnan, Baifu.

After yesterday's deliberate publicity, now almost no one in the entire White Mansion does not know that Miss Bai has returned with a treasure that can save the Patriarch!
Bai Xue and the Four Great Masters intentionally let the wind go, because they wanted to tell their third uncle, Bai Jiezi, the eldest elder of the Bai family, that she had brought back the Egyptian pharaoh's scepter that he wanted to get with all his heart!
Unfortunately, the white mustard seed was infected with the wind and cold two days ago, and his health has not been very good, so when Bai Xue came back last night, he couldn't come out to greet her in person, but lay in bed to recuperate.

But today, I heard from the doctor that the wind and cold of the white mustard seed has improved a lot, and I can finally get out of bed and walk around.

At this time, in the room of Bai Zhi, the Patriarch of the Bai family, the four of Bai Su and Bai Xue were standing in front of the hospital bed.

"Will this method really work?" Bai Wei glanced at the other four people in the room, frowning worriedly, "What if the third uncle doesn't fall for the trick?"

"But, he has already been fooled." Bai Su slowly raised the corners of his lips to Shang Baiwei's suspicious and worried gaze, "In my opinion, the third uncle's illness is fake, and the main reason is to test Bai Xue and know her Did you really bring back the Pharaoh's scepter?"

"But, he's just pretending to be sick, what kind of temptation is this?" Bai Kou was puzzled, "If you really want to test, shouldn't you come over yesterday to see if Bai Xue really has the Pharaoh's scepter in her hand? "

"You are wrong. If the third uncle really came here at the first time, it would be too suspicious." Bai Xue took his words and explained lightly, "If a person is too enthusiastic about treasures, it is not Don't you call yourself?"

Bai Jiang shook his head, not quite agreeing with her point of view, "However, I think Third Uncle's current behavior is more likely to be exposed, which is a bit of a cover-up."

"Stop arguing." Seeing that they were arguing endlessly over this matter, Bai Su immediately interrupted them, "Whether third uncle is innocent or is behind the scenes, we just have to wait tonight to find out."

"That's right." Bai Xue turned her head and took a deep look at the old man lying on the bed. Her father was already skinny. "Everyone, don't be too impatient. Just make preparations and wait to catch the murderer tonight. Now, I'll go there first." Meet the third uncle for a while."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the four people standing opposite her, and added, "Bai Su, you have the most ideas, continue to think about what preparations you need to make tonight. Bai Jiang, you are the best, my father will Please take care of it."

"Don't worry, we will definitely protect the Patriarch, and we will never let the thieves take advantage of it tonight!"

Bai Xue nodded to them again, then strode out of the bedroom and walked towards the yard where Bai Jiezi lived.

At this time, Bai Jiezi was sitting alone in the main hall drinking tea. When he heard someone knocking on the door outside the courtyard, he raised his eyes and looked at the old servant who had been serving him for many years, and said calmly, "Go and open the door, see if it is Who's coming."

"Yes."

The servant opened the door, looked at the girl standing outside the door, and saluted respectfully, "Miss."

"Uncle Fu, is Third Uncle there?" Bai Xue stood there with a faint smile on her face.Her voice was very soft and polite, as if she was afraid of disturbing the patients in the yard.

"Yes, Miss, please come in." Bai Fu immediately bowed his body and stepped aside, because he was old and he was not very flexible.

Bai Xue glanced at him, and asked casually, "Uncle Fu, have you been in Bai's house for many years?"

When Bai Fu saw her talking to him, he nodded immediately, and responded, "Yes, it has been more than 60 years! Time flies so fast. I used to watch the Patriarch grow up. I didn't expect that now, Miss You are so old."

"Uncle Fu, you are getting old, why don't I find another person to take care of third uncle, so that you can enjoy life in peace." Bai Xue said again.

Bai Fu was not happy with her words, but asked nervously, "Miss, are you planning to abandon me? Old man, although I am almost 80 years old today, I am neither blind nor deaf. It's no problem to serve the third grandfather. And since I came to the Bai family, I have been looking after the third grandfather. If you want to drive me away now, I really have nowhere to go. "

Seeing how excited he was, Bai Xue immediately supported the back of his hand and said, "Uncle Fu, you are thinking too much. I'm just afraid that you won't be able to take care of third uncle by yourself. Besides, you are getting old now, and you also need someone to take care of you." .”

"Miss, the third grandpa is only used to taking care of me, and I'm afraid others won't be able to take care of him. Besides, the third grandpa likes to be quiet, so it's not good if there are too many people." No one can figure out Bai Jiezi's temper and habits anymore, so of course he doesn't want to leave here.

Besides, he himself is an old man whose half body is buried in the soil, and he doesn't want to leave this courtyard where he has lived all his life.

"Uncle Fu, Miss Baixue also has good intentions, she is worried that we two old men will not be able to take care of her...cough cough..." Bai Jiezi's old but unambiguous voice came from the main hall, but the words were not finished yet , he coughed in succession.

Hearing the sound, Bai Xue immediately ran over quickly. Seeing that he was coughing profusely, she quickly stood behind Bai Jiezi and patted his back to ease his breathing.However, when her hand touched Bai Jiezi's back, her expression changed slightly, but then she returned to normal, "Third Uncle, you are not in good health, why are you still sitting here, be careful of the cold outside."

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way! Cough cough... When you get old, you will always have some minor problems." Bai Jiezi coughed for a while before recovering. He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea, then Then he said slowly, "Girl Baixue, I heard Ah Fu said yesterday that you are back, but you are not feeling well enough to get out of bed."

"Third Uncle, take care of your health. I'm a junior, so I should have come here to say hello to you first. But yesterday, my father's condition was not stable, so I stayed with him for a night, so I delayed it." Bai Xue walked in front of him, with the expression on her face that the junior was acting like a spoiled child to the elder, she winked playfully and asked, "Third Uncle, you don't blame me, do you?"

"How could it be? You are also filial. Besides, Third Uncle's little cold is not a big problem. It's the same when he comes to say hello today." Bai Jiezi put the teacup in his hand back on the table and squinted With old but shrewd eyes, he asked again, "I heard that you have already brought back something that can save your father?"

Bai Xue's downcast eyes flickered for a moment, then she raised her eyes to look at the old man on the main seat, nodded and said, "Bai Xue did not disgrace her life."

Bai Jiezi nodded, and murmured in a low voice, "That's good, that's good."
