Chapter 1871 A small punishment but a big commandment
"He has a capable brother above him, and he is the third child, so there is no possibility of inheriting the family business. It would be a good thing if he is more reckless."
Lin Mengya can understand Bai Shi'an's situation very well.
When she first married Long Tianyu, the situation was similar.
Even though Yu was already the Jin Emperor's preferred crown prince at that time, the queen and the prince were pressing ahead, and he had his own reasons for many things.
For example, Qinghan, didn't he act like a slutty prince every day just to make others think that he had no intention of becoming emperor? .???.
Thinking of him, Lin Mengya sighed.
Now the fate of this man is uncertain, and Gu Pan is still waiting at home, not knowing when this pair of star-crossed mandarin ducks will be reunited.
She has never been more grateful than she is now for God's mercy on her.
The painful longing was truly something she would never forget.
Long Tianyu never liked to waste any time or energy on unimportant people.
Seeing that his wife was distracted by the trash just now, he grabbed her hand with a little dissatisfaction.
Lin Mengya, who was awakened, looked at the other party with some confusion.
Fortunately, she quickly understood the meaning of this jealousy, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and smiled sweetly at him.
While the third brother didn't see it, he quickly scratched his palm.
I have to say that this small gesture soothed the heart of His Majesty His Highness Xi.
Sensing that he was in a better mood, she couldn't help but secretly sigh.
Why does she feel that since having the baby, this man has become more and more childish?
Sure enough, people often say that men need to be coaxed, and it seems that this is indeed the case.
Everything was calm here, but as Bai Shi'an returned to Bai's house, some people felt the clouds were gathering.
In the small flower hall, Bai Shi was sitting on top, with a gloomy face, staring at the trembling maid who was kneeling on the ground.
"Tell me, what happened today!"
Shui Zhi didn't dare to breathe, but kept crying, looking pitiful and helpless.
But Bai Shi'an is no longer as impulsive as before.
On the way, the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.
He knew Xiao Rou'er's personality better than anyone else. Ever since he was a child, no matter what kind of grievances he suffered, he had always swallowed it silently and never complained to him.
It was also because of this that he felt extra pity for his niece. He felt that she had a pure nature, so he unconsciously protected her a little more.
But he didn't expect that despite all the precautions he had taken, he failed to take precautions against the person who lived next to his niece.
He couldn't help feeling regretful. If he hadn't reacted in time, he was afraid that If this matter spreads, my niece's reputation will be completely ruined!
"It seems that you don't want to say anything anymore? Anyway, after all, you are Xiao Rou'er's. It is not appropriate for me, the uncle, to deal with you both emotionally and rationally. Why don't I invite my second brother and sister-in-law to come over and see
Let’s see how they handle this!”
Shuizhi, who was already kneeling on the ground, was now shaking into a sieve.
The second master and the second grandma are now housekeepers, and the couple also have a lot of skills in managing the house.
Falling into the hands of the third master may be just a physical pain, but if the second mistress comes to investigate, I'm afraid
"Third Master, have mercy on me! Third Master, have mercy on me! I was confused for a moment, and I don't dare to do it anymore. Please, Third Master, please spare me this time!"
Shui Zhi knocked his head loudly, obviously he was really scared and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money.
Bai Shi'an became angrier and angrier as he watched, and he was finally convinced that he was really being tricked by a maid.
As soon as he raised his hand, the teacup in his hand flew to the side of the maid.
There was a "crash", sharp fragments flew everywhere, and the hot tea also spilled all over the servant girl.
"Tell me the truth. If there is even half a lie, drag him out and punish him!"
The people in the small flower hall were all silent and did not dare to say a word.
You must know that the third master is always smiling, but if he loses his temper, even if the elder master and the second master are here, they can only try to persuade him to make peace.
At that moment, the maid tremblingly spoke out.
However, she insisted that she just couldn't bear to see the young lady in pain, so she lost her sense of caution in a moment of impatience.
Bai Shi'an looked at the maid with cold eyes, but he vaguely felt that there seemed to be something wrong.
Just when he wanted to ask someone to interrogate the maidservant, Bai Jiarou was supported by someone and stumbled in.
"Third uncle, please spare Shuizhi."
The thin and weak voice seemed to be smaller than that of a newborn cat.
Bai Shi'an stood up immediately and walked anxiously to his niece in a few steps.
Seeing that her face was pale, her eyes were as swollen as peaches, and she couldn't even stand still, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"If you don't stay well in your room, what will you do out there? If you get cold, won't you be the one who suffers?"
Bai Jiarou knew that her third uncle was caring about her, so she reluctantly smiled to comfort him.
"I'm much better now, Third Uncle, please don't be angry. I know Shuizhi and know that she cares about me, that's why she behaves like this. Although there is something wrong, it's because I'm so useless. Third Uncle, please look after me."
For my own sake, let her be spared.
"
Listening to his niece's soft plea, Bai Shi'an couldn't harden his heart no matter how hard he was.
However, for the sake of his niece's reputation, he did not alarm her about what happened today.
Her eyes were like steel knives, shaving all the maids behind her.
Especially the maid who was close to Xiao Rouer lowered her head and did not dare to look at him.
It seemed that he needed to talk to his second sister-in-law.
In the end, Shuizhi was given a small punishment and a big warning, and fell from the first-class maid to the third-class maid.
Under Bai Jiarou's plea, Bai Shi'an did not report this matter to the second mistress of the Bai family.
But he didn't expect that this would actually create a hidden danger.
Lin Mengya and the others had no chance to know the final outcome.
But the next day, Bai Shi'an sent someone to deliver very generous gifts.
Although it is not stated explicitly, the meaning is clear.
Lin Mengya just looked at it casually and asked for it to be accepted.
On the other hand, Gong San was still a little uneasy, thinking that Bai Shi'an might come to accuse him again. She could only console her by saying, "Bai Shi'an is the third master of the Bai family after all. It's hard for him to admit his mistakes in person. Being able to send these things is enough to show that he
Sincerity, third brother, just put your heart in your stomach, it will be fine."
After the third brother was comforted, Lin Mengya also had new ideas.
In any case, judging from this incident, the third master of the Bai family is a master with clear grievances.
These days, she has been thinking about how to find a breakthrough in the Bai family.
I thought I could start with Bai Jiarou, but I was disappointed.
But now, she has an idea.
As she expected, although Bai Shi'an did not lower his face and apologized, he still played a more or less restraining role on the disciples of the Bai family.
At least these days, no one dares to come and cause trouble.
Lin Mengya didn't go out either, she just stayed in the village and played with the two babies.
But no disturbance outside escaped her eyes and ears.
For example, Mr. Xunyang's condition has worsened. Maybe it will be time to prepare for his funeral in the near future.
When Lin Mengya received the news, there was no trace of surprise in her eyes.
"It seems that they really can't hold it any longer."
Opposite him, Long Tianyu glanced at his young son nestling in his wife's arms.
"Well, if Mr. Xunyang dies, the relationship between the Gong family and the Bai family will never be repaired."
This is also the reason why she has closed the door and thanked guests these days. Since the other party wants to destroy the possibility of cooperation between them, it will not only use this trick.
If she can't grasp the handle, the other party's hand will naturally reach out to the Bai family.
Mr. Xunyang, who is ill, is obviously the best opportunity.
Lin Mengya thought for a while and sent someone to write a letter to the third master of the Bai family, asking him to come out to meet.
The two of them arrived early, and after entering the box, they didn't attract anyone's attention.
After a while, Bai Shi'an also walked in.
But after seeing the two of them, his brows still furrowed tightly.
"Why did you ask me out?"
What happened before made Bai Shi'an feel that the people in the Gong family might not be as arrogant and rude as rumored.
He even learned from Jinpu that the two people did not use the topic as an excuse at that time, but gave Bai Jiarou full face.
He felt that regardless of whether they knew the identity of the Bai family at the time, their behavior was enough to show that they did not come to fight against the Bai family.
In this way, he was willing to keep the appointment.
Lin Mengya smiled politely at him and raised her hand to make a "please" gesture.
"Since Mr. Third is here, why not sit down and have a cup of tea to calm down the anger? Give us a chance to tell the difference."
"This matter is not my responsibility. If you want to tell the difference, you'd better go to my second brother."
Knowing that no one outside could hear him, Bai Shi'an still consciously lowered his volume.
Attitude is also more cautious.
Lin Mengya still admires Bai Shi'an for knowing how to avoid suspicion.
It turns out that the third master of the Bai family is also a sensible person.
"We also know, but we have no choice but to ask the third master for help. Moreover, even if the second master is willing to see us, it is not good for us to cause trouble to the second master."
Bai Shi'an immediately understood the origin of this.
Now that his second brother is in charge of the family, if those disciples find out that he and the Gong family actually met in private, it may cause some unnecessary trouble.
However, he still emphasized it.
"You also know that I don't care about anything at home. No matter what you say, I can't agree. At most, I can help you pass on a message."
Lin Mengya was already very satisfied if she could convey the message.
At that moment, I lost some scruples and asked about Mr. Xunyang's current situation.
"Mr. Xunyang's health was originally good, but after falling ill this time, he fell into a coma. His disciples had long wanted to go to the Gong family to cause trouble. Thanks to my second brother's wisdom, he managed to find ways to deal with it temporarily.
