Chapter 909: Buried Chess Pieces

Sitting in the carriage, Bai Yunxi looked through the window at the still lively Chunmanlou Painted Boat on the lake, and his face darkened.

Ms. Li was sitting next to her, holding her sleeping son in her arms. Seeing her mother-in-law's not-so-good look, she scratched her head anxiously.

"Mom, that Xing..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Bai Yunxi raising her hand, "Let's talk about it when we go home."

She still doesn't know whether Xing'er appeared here on her own or if someone did it on purpose.

Mrs. Du patted Ms. Li's arm and shook her head at her.

Even she, who didn't know anything, felt that what happened today was too mysterious. She never imagined that the lost Xing'er was actually in Fucheng, still in a place like Chunmanlou.

If this matter were to spread back to her hometown, Xing'er's life would be completely ruined, and the Bai family would also be stabbed in the back.

Zhang Yishan, who was sitting next to her, looked at the others quietly with a serious face.

She is no longer the ignorant girl she was back then. The moment her second sister-in-law recognized Xing'er, she knew that things were not simple.

Thinking about Xing'er's attitude towards officials in the past, she felt very disgusted.

Back home, Baiyunxi told Zhang Yishan,

"Let Xiao Wu come to Banyan Tree Hall."

Zhang Yishan nodded and returned to her yard with mixed emotions.

Bai Yunxi had just changed out of her regular clothes when Xiao Wu came over without even having time to change out of her clothes.

"Mother, you are looking for me."

Baiyunxi dismissed the girl and asked Nanny Zhu to guard the door, "Today, all the girls in the house will perform dances, including Xing'er."

Mrs. Xu invited her female family members to go out to the lake, but Xiao Wu and Xiao Si did not follow her. The brothers separated from them at the street entrance, and I don’t know if they saw Myolie.

Listening to his mother's inquiry, Xiaowu was surprised, "Are you sure you got it right?"

The three brothers walked around in the street and happened to meet Wu Tongsuan, so they invited them to a restaurant and had a few drinks together.

"The lady Miaoxian who was singing and dancing all over the house today and everyone was shouting is Xing'er. We all recognized her."

Bai Yunxi pinched her eyebrows,

"I didn't expect that she would end up in Fucheng. I really don't know what to say. But she happened to appear in Fucheng, which makes people have to think too much."

The only good thing is that she didn't change her surname. If she took the Bai family's surname and ended up in a land of fireworks. Whenever someone notices this, and the cousin becomes the number one, once this reputation spreads, people will definitely point fingers, and damage to the reputation is inevitable.

Not to mention that they are now a family of officials, but a family of ordinary people. If such a person appears, the reputation of the whole family will be ruined, and even relatives and friends will be disgraced.

Listening to his mother's narration, Xiao Wu pursed his lips and looked deep in his eyes.

"I'll have someone investigate this matter."

Baiyunxi thought for a moment and shook his head.

"You'd better not get involved in this matter. I'll take Wenyou to investigate. If she was abducted and trafficked here, mother can take her out of the fire pit and let Xiaosi send her back. If it's anything else Reason, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

Originally, she had no favorable impression of Chen Jiao and her daughter, and did not want to have anything to do with them. But I don’t know if it’s God’s trick. The more annoying something is, the more things happen to me.

She is not a holy mother, with no bottom line in indulgence.

I hope she doesn't bump into the muzzle of his gun and confront her. When the interests of both parties collide, she must protect her family.

She does not have the heart of a Bodhisattva and cannot do anything to show mercy to all living beings. This is her principle.

Seeing Xiao Wu's silent attitude, Bai Yunxi glanced at him and said, "We and the Liang family are not on the same line. If anything falls into their hands, it will be uncomfortable to feel controlled by others."

Listening to his mother's tone, Xiao Wu took a deep breath,

"Mother can ask Sister Wen to inquire about her situation first. If she really encounters a kidnapper, sending him back will be considered the most righteous thing to do."

The current situation is chaotic, and he still has many things to deal with. Now that she has met someone, she can just ask the four of them to take her back and let her cousin find an honest person to marry her to.

Listening to Xiao Wu's calm tone, Bai Yunxi trembled at the corner of his mouth. It seemed that this boy really had no other thoughts.

"Okay, I will understand with your words."

Baiyunxi sighed and sent Xiao Wu back to wash up and go to bed.

The Lantern Festival has passed and the New Year has passed. Although the weather is still cold, it does not prevent them from preparing for spring plowing.

Early in the morning, Xiao Si took Lao Er to the orchard outside the city to show him what he had achieved years ago.

Bai Yunxi was lying on the Arhat's bed, and asked Wenyou to tell her Xing'er's story.

"I want you to go explore and see what's going on? If you accidentally end up like this, we must send the person home before everyone reacts."

She was originally an irrelevant person, but because she affected her reputation and made people laugh, it was not worthwhile no matter how she thought about it.

"Don't worry, Aunt Bai, I'll go now."

Wenyou agreed, turned and left.

Baiyunxi waited at home, and it wasn't until Shenshi that Wenyou came back with a chill.

"First drink some water to get rid of the cold, then speak slowly." Bai Yunxi's eyes lit up when he saw Wenyou, he filled her with water and motioned for her to sit down and talk.

"Aunt Bai, I've almost found out everything. Myolie just wanted to show off when she ran away from home in anger. Unexpectedly, she met a kidnapper. But the kidnapper thought she was pretty, so he sold her to a merchant in Lin County at a high price. When the man learned that she was still a virgin and pretty, he asked someone to teach her skills and rules, and a year later he gave her to a noble man as a gift. "

Wenyou said, looking at Bai Yunxi's frowning brows,

"Aunt Bai will never guess who that noble person is."

"Who?"

"Jin Hong, the county magistrate of Jun County."

Wenyou put down the teacup,

"After he learned of Xing'er's identity, he didn't touch her, but sent her directly to Chunmanlou, making her the top star in the building. In the past two years, she has been in Chunmanlou... Jin Hong's purpose was not mentioned to her, but the girl knew in her heart that Jin Hong would come to her sooner or later."

Hearing this, Bai Yunxi was stunned,

"Jin Hong is dead, Xing'er doesn't know?"

"Judging from her attitude, she shouldn't know. She said that Jin Hong last saw her more than half a year ago, and only told her to take good care of her, and great wealth was waiting for her behind."

Wenyou looked at Bai Yunxi and spoke in a low voice.

"Xing'er is a chess piece that Jin Hong has laid long ago, mainly targeting the fifth brother. But I can't understand, Xing'er's status, let alone entering the mansion as a concubine, even as a maid, she is not qualified. The so-called great wealth is deliberately deceiving Xing'er."

People in this period pay attention to face, especially scholars, whose reputation is as important as life. Aunt Bai didn't agree to them getting close before, let alone now.

No one in any decent family would allow a prostitute to enter the house.
