Chapter 1013: The Furious Lord Xingyi
Chapter 1013: The Furious Lord Xingyi
"what!!!"
Waves of trouble followed one after another. Following the shrill screams, high-pitched soprano voices rose one after another in the backyard of the Bai family. The tones were complex and different, like air raid sirens, resounding through the sky.
The embarrassed elders from each family were worried that they could not continue the topic and suddenly jumped up from their stools.
"What happened? Why is there so much noise?"
"To the north, are the women of my Bai family!"
"Could it be that some traitor has trespassed into our Bai family's territory? Quick, quick, Baha, Zar, the two of you go and take a look!"
"You two should not be idle either, go together, no, everyone should go!"
"Yes!"
The young man behind the elder flashed and disappeared, and the elders grabbed the account book and quickly went out.
Bai Mingzhe's move really caught everyone off guard. It was beyond their expectations and they couldn't think of any countermeasures for a while. So they took this opportunity to call off the attack, think carefully, and fight again another day!
backyard.
The second wife’s room.
The maids were holding copper basins and were in a mess. At first, they accused the men of barging in without permission. However, as people kept coming in, all of them were of extraordinary status and there were so many of them, they had no time to blame anyone and simply blocked the door until the elder of the clan came out and ordered it to be opened.
creak.
"Don't come in!"
The lady in the room touched her face in horror, and her broken voice stopped everyone who was hanging over the threshold.
"What's going on?" the elder asked the maid.
The maid knelt down in panic, recalling what she had just seen.
The morning sun is shining brightly.
Inside the polished silver mirror.
A sallow and dull face, as if one had eaten too many Huainan tangerines, came into view. When he made a slight expression, wrinkles appeared everywhere, including at the corners of the eyes, forehead, and nose bridge. Not only was he useless, he looked dozens of years older!
"What?" The elder frowned and looked back at his confidants who had returned from other rooms. "Baha, Zar, what about the other courtyards? Is it the same reason?"
“Almost the same.”
"How could this be?"
The maid was so frightened that she was shaking with fear, her head was buzzing and blank, and she couldn't answer at all.
The elder frowned, and Zar asked sharply, "You are a personal maid, and the changes started this morning. Don't you know what the Madam has eaten and used recently?"
There was a clever one nearby, who was thinking a lot and shouted out: "Jade Spring Water, Moon Spring Water! Elder, the steward said last night that there was a batch of Moon Spring Water and Jade Spring Water, so the ladies of each family agreed to use them for bathing together this morning, and this is what happened after the bath!"
Yuquan, Yuequan?
Everyone was stunned.
"not good!"
Hedeban, who followed, was "horrified", and the elders of the tribe also reacted immediately.
According to Bai Mingzhe, wasn't Yuequan Water included in the apology to the Long family?
Everyone suddenly felt something was wrong and their heads were dizzy.
That guy is a bad guy!
Be unyielding even when you are right!
bad thing!
The elder of the clan slammed his cane on the ground and hastily ordered: "Stop all the monks from Yuequan Temple who are delivering goods! They are not allowed to leave the Bai family!
Baha, go and ask the alchemist and doctor to see if it can be restored to its original state. Zar, go and tell the tribe leader and send someone to tell him that the Moon Spring water cannot be used! What is your name?"
The maid was delighted: "My name is Xiaolan."
The clan elder nodded to his confidant and left in a hurry.
Baha took out a small ingot from his belt and threw it in front of him: "This is a reward from the elder."
"Thank you, Elder! Thank you, Elder!"
In an instant.
The elders from each family, who understood the situation, filed out one after another, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
Bai Mingzhe gave the order as the Lord of Hantai Mansion without any hesitation.
The monks who were staying in the guest room of the Bai family were sealed in the house. Several horses galloped out of the clan's territory, as fast as the wind. Before the dust raised by the horses had settled, both the people and the horses had disappeared without a trace.
Passersby were shocked and puzzled.
This is...what big thing happened again?
"What a troubled time."
……
"Woooooo~"
Sobbing sounds came from the room, like crying and complaining.
The atmosphere is solemn.
Long Binglin and Long Yanrui looked gloomy.
The two dragons were taller than ordinary people, like door gods, sitting on the upper left and right sides of the hall with their huge horses and golden swords. They looked around and everyone who looked at them lowered their heads. It was a bit hot in mid-June.
Everyone in the hall felt their hands and feet go cold and they swallowed their saliva unconsciously.
late!
I'm late!
How did things turn out like this?
The steward of the Bai family, who had delivered the treasures yesterday in compliance with orders, was in a daze, banging his head on the ground, with sweat streaming down his temples, leaving a large wet mark on the ground.
"My Lords, this matter, this matter..."
Long Yanrui interrupted him by scolding him: "You, the Bai family, are important officials at the border, but you chose to act like a villain. You were no match for my brother-in-law, so you resorted to despicable means in secret, saying that you are apologizing, but in fact you mixed poison in it. How else do you want to argue? If it weren't for Xingyi Earl Lanhu's problems, I wouldn't have known about it. I will definitely seek justice when I come back!"
"Your Excellency has misunderstood." The steward's legs went weak and he almost knelt down. "This is definitely not what our Bai family would do. Think about it, but doing this will definitely do more harm than good. Moreover, many ladies of our Bai family also use this thing. If they really want to harm us, how could they..."
"Shut up! How dare you shirk responsibility when the time comes! Was this Moon Spring Water sent by your Bai family? Was your wife the one who suffered because of it?"
The steward shuddered all over, wanting to say something but stopping himself. Under the intimidation of the Grand Master, he dared not open his mouth to explain.
creak.
Huaikong walked out of the room quickly.
Long Yanrui came forward quickly and said, "Little Master, how is my sister?"
"It's not a big deal." Huaikong put his hands together, "Eating more vegetables can relieve it, and normal metabolism can return to normal in half a month. I used Medicine Buddha, and it's no longer a problem."
The steward's expression relaxed.
He was given the task at a critical moment and didn't know the situation yet. He heard that it was not serious and understood that there was still room for easing the situation. However, the medicinal properties of this moon spring water were truly powerful.
"Sir, this matter is really not the work of our Bai family."
"You still dare to say no?"
Long Yanrui was about to explode again, but Long Binglin interrupted him at the right time: "Yanrui, there is no need to be so impatient. I think this may be a conspiracy by Yuequan Temple."
Yuequan Temple?
The stewards looked at each other.
Long Binglin turned around and said, "A few days ago, monks from Yuequan Temple deliberately monitored us. They not only spied on us secretly, but also tried to get information."
what?
Is there such a thing?
The steward was shocked, but seeing that there was a chance of a turnaround, he hurriedly added fuel to the fire, "Your Excellency has a keen eye. Although I don't know if it was the work of Yuequan Temple, I dare to ask, if this was really done by our Bai family, what was the purpose? It only takes half a month to recover naturally. What other purpose does it have to be used to get rid of the disgusting lady, Lord Xingyi? If you are really out of anger and disgust, why do you want to harm your own wife?"
Long Yanrui was silent for a moment.
Seeing this, the manager struck while the iron was hot.
"I think what Lord Binglin said makes sense. Yuequan Water is a specialty of Yuequan Temple. During this period, my Bai family personally escorted it, and no third person took over. If they are interfering, they may be trying to intensify the conflict and sit on the mountain to watch the fight!"
Long Yanrui frowned and fell into deep thought.
The steward breathed a sigh of relief.
There is a play!
Wait, was it really Yuequan Temple who did it?
The more the manager thought about it, the more he felt that the whole thing was fishy. Wasn't it that Yuequan Temple was really conducting surveillance? It seemed that it was exactly what he said?
Back room.
Long Eying was lying on the bed reading a book.
The corners of Long Yao and Long Li's mouths were raised, they could not hold back their laughter, their crying was intermittent, Long Eying reached out and pinched their cheeks, pulling down their raised mouth corners.
It would have been fine if she didn't pull it, but once she did, the two girls couldn't hold it anymore.
"Hahaha."
"Well, don't pinch, don't pinch..."
The two people rolled on the bed and played.
A layer of water curtain covered it to block out the laughter.
"What are you doing? Why are you stopping before the person leaves?" Liang Qu scolded, "I won't pay you if you get caught!"
Long Yao and Long Li stuck out their tongues and stretched out their hands together: "Elder, the people outside have been implicated, so where is the money?"
"You're always asking for money." Liang Qu rolled his eyes, reached into his arms, and gave each of them two big gold ingots.
"The elders and Sister Eying make the big money, can't we take a little bit?" Long Li laughed.
The discussion outside the house gradually died down.
The steward temporarily calmed the situation, left the inn, and hurried back to the Bai family.
"What to do next?" Long Eying closed the book.
Liang Qu grinned: "Of course it's the furious Lord Xingyi who came to visit Yuequan Temple!"
Clang!
Metal and iron collided, spears and halberds clashed.
"No entry or exit!"
In the Bai family's guest room, the monks under house arrest had to retreat back to their rooms. Until now they still didn't understand why and hoped that the Bai family could give them a reasonable explanation.
