absurd!

Bai had never thought that such a thing could happen. After hearing what the old woman said, she felt that things in this world were really too absurd!

In her excitement, Bai hugged Ye Ge'er tightly without noticing. Ye Ge'er did not twist his body to show any discomfort, but quietly nestled in Bai's arms with his mouth open.

After a while, after calming down, Bai instructed the guards, "Go and invite the Marquis. I will take the old woman to the shop on East Street. Have someone watch her and make sure nothing happens to her."

After she finished speaking, Bai Shi realized that she had been holding Ye Ge'er too tightly, and quickly adjusted her movements. She tapped Ye Ge'er's little face and said, "Doesn't it hurt?"

Ye Ge'er raised his head and showed a toothless smile. Bai Shi put her head close to Ye Ge'er's little face and said softly, "Our Ye Ge is so well-behaved."

In less than a quarter of an hour, the carriage arrived at a shop on East Street. This shop usually dealt in calligraphy and painting, but now a sign was hung outside the shop saying it was closed for the day.

After entering, Bai went straight to the backyard and sat down in the yard. The shop manager brought her some fruit drinks. After a few sips of the fruit drinks, Bai coaxed Ye Ge'er to sleep and handed him to the wet nurse.

Bai had been waiting for half an hour when Gu Yankai arrived. Gu Yankai hurried over, sweating profusely. When he saw Bai, he said, "Madam, what do you want to talk to me about?"

After walking over, Gu Yankai directly picked up the half cup of fruit drink that Bai Shi had left and drank it. Bai Shi frowned in disdain and said, "Bring the person over here."

Although Gu Yankai didn't understand what was going on, looking at Bai's expression, he knew that it was probably not something that would end well for him, so he sat down to the side feeling a little guilty.

As soon as the old woman entered the yard, she shouted loudly: "Killing someone means paying with your life, this is retribution!"

After hearing this, Gu Yankai said in a deep voice, "Shut up!"

Perhaps because he had seen too much blood in the army for many years, Gu Yankai looked very majestic with a cold face. The old woman shut up immediately after being scolded by Gu Yankai.

Gu Yankai glanced at Bai and asked, "Which mansion are you from? What's the matter?"

The old woman was stunned for a moment, and then she said something that didn't make sense: "My daughter died tragically, so tragically."

With a slap, Gu Yan slapped the stone table and said in a colder voice, "Answer whatever I ask you."

This made the old woman fall to her knees. She lowered her head and knelt and replied, "I am Wang Po from the Dongchang Marquis's Mansion. My daughter died in an unclear manner and no one stood up for her."

As soon as the mother-in-law said this, Gu Yankai knew what was going on. He wiped his face awkwardly, glanced at Bai secretly, and said, "You've got the wrong person for the matter at the Dongchang Marquis Mansion. If I find out you've come to see the eldest lady again, I'll skin you alive."

The old woman seemed to be confused again. She raised her head and said in a hoarse voice: "Madam, it was because you didn't want to be divorced that you killed my daughter."

Gu Yan stood up suddenly and kicked the old woman, who was kicked several feet away.

When the mother-in-law said this, Gu Yankai didn't know how to explain it to Bai Shi. He picked up the mother-in-law and left the yard. When he reached the door, he turned around to look at Bai Shi and said, "I..."

Gu Yankai thought that this must be a conspiracy by someone, using the old woman to disrupt the Marquis's residence. He moved his lips to speak but couldn't get the words out. After pausing at the door, he grabbed the old woman and left.
