Chapter 38

"Are you...sure?" Su Mo clearly didn't quite believe what Xiao Han said.

"Why would I lie to you? The gentle breeze who first entered was fake! Don't believe me, go ask Sister Li and Miaomiao." Xiao Han said.

Su Mo rubbed her temples and carefully recalled. She vaguely remembered someone seemed to have hugged her.

She went to the study. Xia Miaomiao and Sang Li were discussing plans.

"Sister Li, Miaomiao."

"Mo Mo, you're awake?" Sang Li looked towards the door, "Is your body uncomfortable at all?"

Su Mo shook her head, "No, I really wasn't brought back by you guys yesterday?"

"No," Xia Miaomiao said, "When we came back, you were already asleep in bed!"

Su Mo frowned slightly, "Then who was it? Gentle Breeze?"

"It wasn't Gentle Breeze. The Gentle Breeze who entered the cabin yesterday was fake. The real Gentle Breeze was knocked unconscious by him," Sang Li said.

"No way? What did he want to do? Pretend to be Gentle Breeze and drink with me? It doesn't seem like he had any malicious intentions towards me either, and he even sent me home? Is this person...mentally ill?"

"Based on this logic, this person is most likely someone secretly in love with you!" Xia Miaomiao deliberately said.

"Someone secretly in love with me? How is that possible? Those secretly in love with me are all in our..." Su Mo suddenly thought of something and paused.

"Who did you think of?" Sang Li asked.

Su Mo looked at them and uncertainly asked, "It's...Shadowless?"

"We guessed it was him, but we're not too sure either."

Su Mo paused, and a flash of gloominess passed through her eyes, "But he said he doesn't like me!"

"But last time he still risked his life to save you." Sang Li said.

Su Mo was a little confused, "Sister Li, weren't you quite against me liking Shadowless before?"

"I didn't understand his intentions before, afraid he would hurt you. But now we already understand his intentions and background. Most importantly, the treasure map is in his hands, which is related to whether we can cross back or not," Sang Li said very frankly.

"I see. If it really was him yesterday, I'll go find him and get to the bottom of this!" Su Mo said before leaving the study.

She returned to her room and saw the pot of chili peppers placed by the window sill had grown very well.

Su Mo picked up the pot of chili peppers and looked at it.

If Shadowless really liked her, why did he say that before?

What exactly was his relationship with Third Aunt?

That day when she went to see Shadowless, Third Aunt sent people to kill them that very night. Was it really him who leaked the news to Third Aunt?

And who exactly was Shadowless? Did he kill the owner of the pharmacy?

Su Mo had many questions in her mind and felt a little restless.

She put down the pot of chili peppers and went out the door.

"Mo Mo, where are you going?" Xiao Han, who was decocting herbs in the yard, called out to her when she left the yard. Su Mo waved to her, "I'm going shopping on the street!"

...

Sang Li and Xia Miaomiao had worked out a plan and were about to go to the Bai house to find Bai Yunhan.

Unexpectedly, Lady Bai came to Wenge Pavilion.

The weather was hot, and none of them liked the long sleeves and skirts of this ancient era when working, so they had all rolled up their sleeves.

Seeing their attire, Lady Bai slightly knitted her brows.

"Lady Bai, we were just about to go to the Bai house to find Young Master Bai. Didn't expect you would come here," Sang Li went up to greet her.

Lady Bai didn't speak and walked past her to the octagonal pavilion in the yard. On the table were also some bamboo tiles she didn't understand.

Wang Fu respectfully stood behind Lady Bai.

"Miss Sang, the Lady has something to tell you," Wang Fu said.

Sang Li looked at Lady Bai, knowing she didn't seem to have good intentions, and curved her lips before walking to the octagonal pavilion.

Xiao Han and Xia Miaomiao exchanged glances and took the initiative to retreat.

"Miss Sang, I heard from Han'er that you want to open some kind of chess and card room? And need our money for it? What kind of reasoning is this?" Lady Bai gave Sang Li a faint smile, her eyes a little unclear.

Sang Li returned her a faint smile, "My lady, this is called investment. We earn money, and most of it still goes to your Bai family."

Lady Bai seemed to have heard some joke and laughed before shifting the topic.

"The young ladies helped us find the real murderer of my husband, and we are very grateful. Now that my husband's affairs have come to an end, I wonder when will the young ladies leave the Bai family? Of course, when you leave, we will also give you some silver as payment."

Just then, Xia Miaomiao had brewed some tea and brought it over, just in time to hear Lady Bai's words.

She unassumingly placed the tea in front of Lady Bai, "My lady, this is tea we made ourselves, please have a taste."

Lady Bai glanced at the teacup, which had a flower floating on it, but she didn't drink it.

"My lady, we four sisters have nowhere to go for the time being. Why don't you rent this place to us? We will pay regular rent to the Bai family," Sang Li said.

Lady Bai glanced at Sang Li. The smile on her face was already gone. "What if I want you to leave Lan City?"

Sang Li smiled, "In my opinion, my lady does not have this right."

"Lady Bai, we did help you all after all. This is not fair," Xiao Han also walked over.

Lady Bai's face didn't look too good. "Young ladies, in any case, this is the Bai family's place. Please pack up and leave quickly!"

Having said that, Lady Bai got up and left Wenge Pavilion.

"What is Lady Bai's intention? The difference in her attitude is too big, right?" Xiao Han was a little confused.

Sang Li always felt something was wrong but couldn't figure out what was wrong for the moment!

"I also find it very strange. Lady Bai was clearly quite good to us before!" Xia Miaomiao said in puzzlement.

Sang Li suddenly got up and ran out of the yard to call Lady Bai who was about to get on the carriage.

"Lady Bai!" Sang Li walked over and said clearly, "We will move out tomorrow. Please send over the payment tonight. The Bai family is in business after all. Credibility is very important."

Lady Bai looked at Sang Li. "Rest assured, the Bai family is not stingy either. Please leave on your own initiative, Miss Sang, and don't tell Han'er."

Not until Wang Fu drove the carriage away did Sang Li return to the yard.

"Sister Li, what exactly is going on? Why does Lady Bai want to drive us away?" Xiao Han ran over to ask.

"What else could it be for?" Xia Miaomiao said, "I think it's a typical【I'll give you one million, leave my son alone!】Bai Yunhan clearly likes Sister Li. But how could Lady Bai possibly let Bai Yunhan marry someone with an unclear background?"

"Ah...So that's how it is..." Xiao Han suddenly understood.

"I don't think it's that simple," Sang Li said thoughtfully, "But we can't stay here anymore. We have to find a new place to live." "Then...do we still need to show this plan to Bai Yunhan?" Xia Miaomiao asked.

"No need."

Xia Miaomiao sighed, "Alright..."

Sang Li patted her shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay. Eventually it will be used. Even if we don't live here, we still have to earn money ourselves. Let's go find a house this afternoon. We have to move out tomorrow."

...

Wang Fu drove the carriage to the main street. Lady Bai got off the carriage, intending to buy some things.

"Manager Wang, keep an eye on their whereabouts," Lady Bai said.

"Yes, my lady. But you don't need to worry too much. After all, the old master's death has nothing to do with you," Wang Fu said.

"I'm afraid Han'er will blame me. Those girls are crafty. I'm afraid they will suspect something."

"The young master is indeed a little soft-hearted. Didn't expect he would directly release Third Madam."

"Bai Yichen's appearance was quite unexpected. Didn't think he wasn't dead," Lady Bai said in a deep voice. "Han'er has always been quite affectionate and righteous. How could he kill his cousin? However...now that Third Madam's identity has been exposed and she has left the Bai family, Second Madam can't cause much trouble either."

"My lady, you are now the person in power of the Bai family. Those who should be dismissed must be dismissed," Wang Fu said meaningfully.

Lady Bai frowned, "But now Second Aunt is very obedient, I have no reason to drive her out of the Bai family."

"Recently, the neighborhood has been talking about Miss Bai Yunxin and Young Master Li's affair..."

Lady Bai thought for a moment, a smile overflowing from the corner of her mouth, "I understand."

Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives. Lady Bai and Wang Fu ran right into Li Wenxuan.

Seeing Lady Bai, Li Wenxuan sauntered over and looked Lady Bai up and down.

"Oh, isn't this the widow who just lost her husband? How do you still have the mood to go out?"

Lady Bai glanced at Li Wenxuan without acknowledging him, and walked past him.

Li Wenxuan rolled his eyes at Lady Bai's back, and as he turned to leave, a pebble suddenly flew over, hitting his calf directly.

"Ah!" Li Wenxuan knelt down on one knee.

"Young Master, are you alright?" The guard next to him immediately went to help him up.

"Who, who sneak attacked me?!" Li Wenxuan looked left and right, only seeing people coming and going.

Lady Bai inadvertently glanced back, then withdrew her hand. She said coldly, "Useless fool!"

Not far away, Su Mo saw this scene, and was a little surprised.

"This Lady Bai... knows martial arts?" Su Mo murmured to herself as she licked a candy figurine, "Old Master Bai knew martial arts, it should be quite normal for Lady Bai to know a little too."

"Beauty, out shopping alone?" Su Mo's shoulder was patted.

Su Mo turned around, frightening Li Wenxuan and making him jump back.

"You... you're that tigress?!" Li Wenxuan was so frightened he retreated several steps, just about to run away.

Su Mo reached out her hand, just in time catching his collar, and deliberately said, "That's right, I'm alone, I'm so lonely, why don't you accompany me? Hmm?"

The two guards were just about to step forward, but Su Mo glanced over coldly, frightening them so they didn't dare move.

"Madam, Madam, I'm wrong, please let me go!" Li Wenxuan cried, "I didn't check my horoscope before going out today, and ran into you, this tigress!"

"Weren't you going to catch me? I'm right in front of you, come catch me!"

"I won't, I won't, just let this fart go!"

Li Wenxuan was a typical debauched young master. He bullied the weak and feared the strong, wandering leisurely around brothels every day, and liked to tease any beauty he saw on the street.

But after these two times, he knew that Su Mo was a formidable character he could not provoke.
