Bai Ling was very fast and had already finished carving two hairpins. The steward hadn't come back yet, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
The little girl looked up at the door more than once, her delicate brows furrowed.
"Is this what you two cooked for the old lady?" With a bang, the wooden door was kicked open, and a gloomy voice came.
Bai Ling looked up and saw a fat man with a goatee standing at the door. The fat figure was followed by two men dressed as servants holding sticks. He knew something was wrong.
"I cooked the food, and this young lady was only responsible for lighting the fire." Although Bai Ling felt that something had happened, he didn't want to implicate the innocent. He only blamed himself for not coveting the reward that the steward said.
"She is the niece of that guy Zhang Sheng, and you are the wild girl that Zhang Sheng found. Who knows if you guys have colluded with each other." The fat man waved his arm and ordered: "Tie them all up.
, first lock him in the woodshed and wait for Madam to deal with him."
Seeing the two servants holding thumb-thick hemp ropes on their shoulders, Bai Ling frowned but did not resist.
Although Bai Ling can hide in space, if he escapes at this time, he may become a fugitive in this life.
Furthermore, Bai Ling did not dare to enter the space in front of everyone, unless his life was really at stake.
"There's no need to tie him up. We're just going to the woodshed. He won't run away until the matter is cleared up." Bai Ling said cooperatively, not wanting to suffer physical pain.
The two servants turned back and glanced at the fat man. Seeing the fat man nodding, they pushed Bai Ling and the two into the woodshed and locked the door outside.
Bai Ling arranged the firewood and sat down to wait for her master to interrogate her.
The little girl, on the other hand, had a look of anxiety on her face. From time to time she would stand on tiptoes and look out through the hole in the window.
"Bai Ling, is there really nothing wrong with the food you cooked?" The little girl couldn't hold her breath. After walking around for a few times, she came to Bai Ling and asked.
"What I cook is home-cooked food, and this is what we eat at home." Bai Ling shook his head. Seeing that the little girl was about to cry, he comforted him: "Sit down first to save your energy. I guess you will be hungry tonight. The old man
I don’t know what’s going on over there, let’s wait until someone comes to tell us.”
"My second uncle didn't come. I'm afraid something might have happened. What should I do?" The little girl couldn't sit still at all, so she stood under the window again, looking forward to it.
Bai Ling closed her eyes and sighed lowly, thinking in her heart: Even if she was let out, she would not be able to leave the town at night, and her family would be worried if they could not wait for her to come back!
Bai Ling, who was hungry in the woodshed, never expected that her home would be in a mess now. Even though she knew she hadn't returned home, she didn't have time to look for her.
After finishing her meal in the main room, Mrs. Bai became more and more angry the more she thought about it. She no longer wanted to live in the town, so she returned to Nanshan Village before dark and went straight to the third room.
"It's the second sister who's back." Hearing the sound of the courtyard door being opened, Bai Xiaoshan shouted loudly.
Bai Sanshu and his wife breathed a sigh of relief. Although Bai Wei complained, her eyes were obviously happy.
"I'm going to get water for the second sister to wash her face." Bai Xing ran out quickly, but as soon as she opened the door, she backed away in fear.
"Myolie, what's wrong?" Bai Liu asked.
Without Bai Xing's need to answer, Old Mrs. Bai's scolding sound was heard in the house.
"Bai Sanshu, you are really capable. If you know how to cook fish, you don't even tell your elder brother, and you don't even give me a big fish. Where is that damn girl Bai Ling? How much did she sell today?
Copper coins? Hand them over to me quickly." Old Mrs. Bai arrived before she could say anything.
"Mom, Bai Ling hasn't come back yet." Bai Sanshu went to the door to greet Mrs. Bai and pushed Bai Xing into the room to save her from being beaten.
"You haven't come back yet? Someone ate fish and something happened, right?" Old Mrs. Bai thought viciously, spitting a mouthful of yellow phlegm on the ground, and cursed: "It's really an eye-opener for God, you damn girl made me look embarrassed, I deserve it."
If something happens to her, it would be better if she is arrested and sent to jail!"
"Is there any grandma like you?" Bai Wei stood up and shouted loudly: "If something happens to my second sister, I will go to Nai to pay with my life! Cursing my own granddaughter, it is Nai's fault.
Come out. Then I’ll make a big deal out of it. Let’s see if my cousin and the others can have a future with someone like you!”
"If you dare to curse my grandson, I'll beat you to death!" Mrs. Bai picked up the broom at the door and greeted Bai Wei.
"You can beat me to death! Even if I turn into a fierce ghost, I will beg for your life to save you from continuing to harm our family!" Bai Wei stiffened her neck, grabbed the broom in Old Mrs. Bai's hand, and pushed the person out with all her strength, "
If you don’t want to lose your life, Nai, just leave quickly and don’t curse this or that here, we don’t have water at home to moisten your throat!”
"Third girl, how can you talk to your grandma like that!" Bai Sanshu rushed up to hold Bai Wei, fearing that she would hurt Mrs. Bai.
"Bai Sanshu, you are a weakling. You used to be afraid of your mother-in-law, but now you are also afraid of your daughter? Why don't you hold that stinky girl down for me and see if I don't beat her to death!" Seeing Bai Sanshu helping her, old lady Bai became even more enthusiastic.
Son.
"Come on! There is a kitchen knife in the kitchen. If you want to chop it at me, don't hold back. You can kill me with just one strike!" Bai Wei pointed at her neck and shouted with red eyes: "That's it!
For many years, I haven’t stood there honestly and let my mother spank me. Wouldn’t she think that after the separation, I would be more honest than before?”
Seeing Bai Wei's cold eyes, Old Mrs. Bai became timid. Beating and killing were two different things. She really didn't have the courage.
"Bah, you evil-hearted thing, let's see who dares to marry you in the future." Old Mrs. Bai spat, threw her arm to the side, pointed at Bai Sanshu's nose and said: "It's getting late, I'll come back tomorrow, don't forget
I have to prepare the money from Bai Ling's sale. It will be used to replenish my grandson's health. Your family's short-lived money is also a waste."
Mrs. Bai went back and forth to the town, and her body couldn't bear it now. She would not stay in the third room and wait for Bai Ling to come back, for fear that Mrs. Bai Liu would cure her illness and bad luck.
"Dad! Come and see Mom, Mom has fainted!" Bai Xing cried.
Bai Sanshu was still in a daze just now. He didn't care to think about anything else now and hurriedly turned around and went into the house.
Bai Sanshu clearly saw the trick Bai Ling used to pinch Bai Liushi's heart last time, so he followed the same method in order to save Bai Liushi.
Bai Wei, who wanted to find Bai Ling, had no choice but to go into the house first to appease the two little ones, and had no time to separate.
Qian Mansion.
At the end of Xu Shi, the door of the woodshed was finally opened.
Bai Ling looked up and saw a woman wearing a pair of silver hairpins and her hair neatly combed standing at the door, followed by a little girl.
"Mother Hong, my wife has found out and asked you to let us out. Where is my second uncle? Is he okay?" Shaoyaofu asked in an urgent tone after saluting.
Although Bai Ling didn't know who Grandma Hong was, looking at the way she was dressed, she knew she was no ordinary servant.
As a suspect, Bai Ling didn't think that she or Shaoyao had such dignity that the housekeeper could let them out.
"What's your name? Where are you from? How many people are there in your family? What do you do for a living? Why did you murder my old man? How many benefits did Zhang Sheng give you?" The mother-in-law looked at Bai Ling and asked several questions in succession.
, the scrutiny in his eyes is very obvious.
Shaoyao turned pale with fright, knelt on the ground, and shouted repeatedly: "Aunt Hong, we are unjust! If the old lady hadn't taken pity on us, we would have starved to death on the street. My second uncle and I
You have already sold yourself to the Qian Mansion, how could you do anything to murder the old man?"
"Shut up." Grandma Hong's sharp eyes were directed at Shaoyao. After seeing her understanding, she said to Bai Ling: "Answer the question I just asked." (To be continued)
