after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 750 Stepping Stones

Chapter 750 Stepping Stones

In a farmer's house on the outskirts of Qincheng, Bai Youran was sitting under an oil lamp and meditating.

"Miss, the young master came to talk to you."

Ruyi picked up the curtain and entered the door to report, while Bai Dingfeng was waiting at the door.

"it is good."

Bai Youran stood up, if she couldn't understand everything last night, she would be a fool. She was very sure of the behavior of those two groups who robbed military supplies and her own side, and one of them was the Wei family.

Judging from the maid who fled last night and deliberately dropped Lin Yuesha, there are probably some of them that she doesn't know.

"Little sister, have you had dinner yet?"

After entering the room, Bai Dingfeng sized him up, and couldn't help showing disgust.

There are cracks in the loess wall, cold air seeps in through the gaps, dilapidated tables, chairs and benches, even the oil lamp shades are greasy, and the servant's room at home is better than this thatched house, not at 01:30.

In order to avoid it, I had no choice but to be wronged here first.

"Brother, someone is robbing military supplies, let's run away, what about Sister Yuesha?"

Bai Youran knew it well enough to ask a question. She thought of a possibility.

"We left without seeing Lin Yuesha. With her intelligence, she had already run away by herself."

Bai Dingfeng was thirsty, so he poured himself a bowl of tea. Seeing that a corner of the tea bowl was missing and there were tea stains on it, he frowned unappetizingly, "She didn't call you when she ran away, why do you care about her?"

"I saw a man in black robbing the carriage."

Bai Youran was silent for a moment, then said.

A group of people transported military supplies to the northwest, and finally the military supplies were robbed. Those people who went there for military supplies robbed Lin Yuesha, could it be that they were privately revenged?

"No, she and Xu Da are in the same group, and they can do weird things. Both us and King Luo want Lin Yuesha's help."

When Bai Dingfeng said these words, he did not hide his ambition at all.

"So your marriage to Wei Lan was planned long ago?"

Bai Youran was shocked, she never expected this result.

"For the Bai family, the Li family is just a little rich, how can it be compared with the Wei family."

The Wei family took a fancy to Beidi Border Pass, so they formed a private alliance with their father. Sooner or later, the two families will show their sincerity through marriage.

Those who robbed the military supplies were the dead soldiers of the Wei family. These people intercepted Luo Wang Xu Da and his party on the road. The mission failed, so they had to use the military supplies to recover a little loss.

The ambition of the Wei family was exposed, and the capital must have gotten the news, but now, the capital is probably already under the control of the Wei family.

"So, the Wei family wants to rebel?"

Bai Youran's lips trembled, and it took a long time to say a complete sentence.

Not only the Wei family, but his own family turned out to be an accomplice.

"Otherwise, why do you think Dad didn't get promoted and stayed in the Northland all the time?"

The Bai family and the Wei family are just using each other, and now the war in the northwest is the best opportunity.

The Wei family is just a small appetizer. The Bai family united with Sishui City, and the soldiers and horses of Xiao Su, the king of Zhenbei, went all the way from the north to the capital, forcing the Wei family to step down. The final fruit was shared equally between the Bai family and Yu Wenkun.

Yu Wenkun was not a good match, so the Bai family wanted to unite with the Wei family first, let the Wei family send troops to fight with Sishui City, and finally pick up ready-made ones.

However, Yu Wenkun saw through all this in advance and sent news to Wei's family to sow discord. No, now that there is a rift in the relationship between the two families, he has to try his best to clarify it, which is very troublesome.

Wanting to go back to the Northland, he had to pass through several garrisons of the Wei Family Army, so Bai Dingfeng had to take Wei Lan with him, pretending to be affectionate as a husband and wife.

"You don't care about Lin Yuesha, why did you bring Li Ruoshuang with you?"

Bai Youran was dizzy, in her eyes, her father was always an open-minded person.

Later, because of the marriage between the Li family and the Bai family, and they wanted to exchange her, Bai Youran's views did not change, thinking that his parents only cared about their interests.

I didn't expect, I didn't expect, how naive she is!
It turns out that father and elder brother have already planned a road of rebellion, not only that, but collaborating with the enemy and treason is a serious crime that implicates the entire family!
It's done, but she is more noble than now, but she may not marry a good family, once she fails, there will be no bones left.

Bai Youran has no ambitions, she just wants to live, have enough food and clothing, that's all.

"Li Ruoxue is gone, and the 10,000+ dowry silver is missing. Li Ruoshuang might have a clue."

If it wasn't for the money, who would be willing to bring a tow bottle, thinking that he is a fool, can't see Li Ruoshuang's abnormality?
It was already very suspicious for a woman to arrive in the capital alone, and the place where Li Ruoshuang appeared was too coincidental.

It doesn't matter, he, Bai Dingfeng, has always looked down on women, so he left Li Ruoshuang just to catch the person behind her.

"Qincheng is full of King Luo's subordinates, so it's not suitable to stay for a long time. Let's go back to the Northland early in the morning."

Bai Dingfeng didn't reveal too many details, but just gave Bai Youran a general idea.

The dead soldiers of the Wei family were like dogs in mourning, and the people led by Yu Wenkun also suffered heavy losses, just to fight for some military supplies.

The goal of the Bai family has never been military supplies, and Bai Dingfeng disguised it very well.

"Early tomorrow?"

Bai Youran nodded obediently and said, "Then I understand."

When Bai Dingfeng went out, Bai Youran immediately fell into deep thought, it was time to make a choice.

Once, she thought that her family was her reliance, but she found that everyone in the Bai family was very selfish and never thought about her.

Back in the Northland, under the eyes of her parents, everything was arranged by the two of them. If the rebellion failed, she would act as cannon fodder, leaving no bones left.

With the 10,000+ taels of silver left by Li Ruoxue, Bai Youran has no worries about eating and drinking in her life, so why should she go back and suffer?
Once she returns to the Northland, the money in her hand can't be kept, not to mention the Bai family, her parents have to use her as a bargaining chip in exchange for benefits.

Can't go back, just stay.

However, she learned about her family's ambitions. If she stayed in Qincheng, Bai Dingfeng would never agree. Only the dead would keep secrets.

In front of thousands of miles of land, she is a stepping stone ready to die at any time.

Bai Youran saw everything clearly, she had to escape, she had to go.

The maid Ruyi beside her is unreliable. Ruyi has always been in love with Bai Dingfeng, so she might be bribed, so she only has one person.

By nightfall, the group had already fallen asleep.

Bai Youran filled some dry and hard pancakes, and added something to the tea.

At the door, there is a guard family who keeps watch at night.

"Brother, it's cold at night, let's have a cup of hot tea."

Bai Youran rubbed her hands together, and took the initiative to get close to that person.

Seeing that it was Miss Bai's who came, the guards let down their vigilance, who would have thought that he would be dizzy and didn't know anything after pouring down a bowl of hot tea.

Bai Youran led a horse, and stepped on it neatly, with only one thought in her mind, she had to run away, first find a place where no one would recognize her and hide.

Qincheng is King Luo's territory, with Bai Dingfeng's selfishness, he will never stop to look for her, and once she leaves, she will be temporarily safe.
