Chapter 68 Who is backing me now? I am not afraid of you.
Seeing that Shang Yi was so difficult to approach, she had no choice but to give up. She just always felt that she was weird, but she couldn't tell what was weird about her.
"Oh no, oh no, the old lady is vomiting blood. Please go and take a look, Mr. Bai." Suddenly a little maid ran over, her face anxious and with sweat on her forehead, obviously she had just run over.
"Don't worry, let's go." Baili Yao comforted her. The little girl nodded and quickened her pace to lead the way.
Knowing that the old lady had vomited blood, everyone in the family came, except Shang Yi. Aunt Bai and Aunt Wen were outside wiping their tears. When they saw Baili Yao coming, Aunt Wen spoke first, "Oh, Mr. Bai, it's a good thing you're here. Go check on my old lady."
Baili Yao was led inside by the maid, and the concubines outside started to chatter, "The old lady is sick, why hasn't the mistress of the house come yet!"
“I asked, but no one replied.”
People outside had already started to criticize the new mistress, and the noisy old lady could naturally hear it. She became even more annoyed, and when she saw Baili Yao coming in, she straightened her body and turned away without saying a word, which surprised Baili Yao.
"I heard that the old lady was ill, I..."
"There's no need for you to pretend to be kind. You're so angry at me, why bother putting on airs?" Although the old lady coughed a little, she spoke with confidence.
"What are you talking about, old lady..." Baili Yao put down the medicine box and sat down.
"Others may not know, but I know. As soon as I see you, I know that you are really capable. It is really rare for our Baili family to have a person like you."
Baili Yao's eyelids twitched, and she wanted to play dumb, but the old lady continued, "You burned down the house and used some means to get to Yuncheng. It was a really good method. You stayed dormant in that small courtyard for six years, ahem. It's really admirable."
Before Baili Yao came in, all the servants had gone out, and now only she and the old lady were there.
"As long as I give the order, someone will force you to take off the veil on your head. How will you escape then?"
"Haha," Baili Yao smiled and took off the veil she was wearing. "I really admire you. But how did the old lady know it was mine?"
The old lady turned her head, her eyes fierce and filled with hatred, "Of course I know! During the time when you were pretending to be stupid, I always went to your place privately. Oh, I watched you grow up, how could I not know! I knew it was you just by looking at your figure, and you can't fake the voice!"
"But even if the old lady knew it was me, so what? I am now a distinguished guest of the royal family, and even the crown prince has to give me some respect. Besides, how long have I been in Yuncheng, and how long has the third young lady been dead in the mansion?"
She specifically emphasized the Third Young Miss, and the old lady's chest heaved violently with anger.
"You actually have such a mind and means! If not for..." The old lady paused, "I should have gotten rid of you right away!"
"Although I don't know why the old lady hates me so much, it's better for me to heal you now, right? Otherwise, you may not live through these days before you find the pearl." Baili Yao poured herself a cup of tea, blew on it, took a sip slowly, and then looked at him with a smile on her face.
The old lady vomited blood again and had to lie down without arguing.
Baili Yao still checked her body and prescribed some medicine for her. After taking a pill that she specially made to protect her heart meridian, the old lady instantly felt much better both physically and mentally.
"It seems that I am old and can't defeat a youngster like you. Look at those chattering idiots outside. If you were still here and your father and mother were at home, these people would probably go to the kitchen to boil water, sweep the floor and clean shoes."
"The old lady is also very cunning. Since Aunt Bai and Aunt Wen are domineering in the mansion and my father is away from home for a long time, the old lady doesn't respect anyone as the mistress. What's the point of pampering me like this? Besides, you kept me because you wanted to find the pearl and because you were afraid that my mother's family would marry in and delay your search for the pearl. The old lady has used a lot of tricks and schemes to achieve immortality. How dare you criticize me?"
"you……"
Baili Yao stood up, picked up her veil and put it on, "I am Bai Yao now, I can pretend that what happened just now didn't happen. If the old lady insists on exposing me, it won't matter. I have no one to support me now, so I am not afraid of you. We all have to live and have our own concerns. The old lady should take good care of herself."
Baili Yao rolled her eyes at her, she struggled to get up from the sickbed, straightened her back and strode out.
The concubines outside were still chattering, and in the end, when everyone dispersed, Shang Yi still didn't come.
Baili Jing's health has almost recovered. He would occasionally go to the bamboo courtyard, but no matter how hard he looked, he could not find anything. The courtyard was almost empty and there was nothing in sight. He really had no idea where the thing could be hidden.
Baili Yao also went to the bamboo courtyard under the pretext of looking for Baili Jing.
"What are they going there for, such a remote place." Baili Lianshuang asked curiously while holding the jewelry that Madam Wen had just sent her.
Bai Furui coughed twice, lowered her eyes and shook her head, "I happened to see it when I was outside admiring the flowers. I went there right after me."
Baili Lianshuang was still angry when she remembered that she had lost face in front of the Third Prince last time. When she heard Bai Furui say this, she was curious and angry. Are they alone? This was a good opportunity. Even if she couldn't humiliate Bai Yao, she could still disgust her. So she stood up, called a few people, and rushed to the bamboo forest courtyard in the name of mourning her third sister.
"Oh, my chest feels a little uncomfortable," Bai Furui's legs went weak and she was supported by the maid behind her. Baili Lianshuang didn't care and naturally let her go back to rest.
"Someone is coming?" Baili Jing heard footsteps outside.
Baili Lianshuang was so anxious that she ran over and happened to run into them. Baili Yao was holding Baili Jing's clothes in her hands, and their standing positions made them look extremely ambiguous.
"Oh, how could we disturb Mr. Bai and Big Brother's good time? It's a sin. Let's go quickly."
"This..." Baili Jing frowned. It was just that his clothes were torn just now and he took them off and dropped them on the ground, where they were picked up by Baili Yao.
Baili Yao held Baili Jing and looked at Baili Lianshuang and the servants who left in a hurry, "Brother, you don't have to explain. She obviously came here on purpose and brought people with her."
"If this gets out, your reputation..." Baili Jing is not worried about himself, he is just worried about Baili Yao!
"Haha, Qingyu, I don't care about that. I don't want them to say anything unless I kill them all. That's not the case~"
