Looking at her father, who was riding high and incredibly arrogant.
Bai Yunxing tugged at his mother's clothes.
Jiang Dai immediately squatted down, and then she heard her second son whisper in her ear: "Mother, I saw some of the local workers go out. I guess they went to report to the authorities."
"These are probably from the Kang family. Although the Kang family doesn't have a high status in the capital because they're in business, compared to our family..."
"Perhaps I should go to the General's Mansion first."
Bai Yunxing didn't say it precisely, but Jiang Dai already understood.
Indeed, some ordinary people in the capital don't even know how they died; beneath the glitz and glamour lie countless tangled and complicated relationships.
[Luckily, my version of Journey to the West was a fan-made creation, otherwise it would have been too realistic. In Journey to the West, those who were killed were all without any background, while those with backgrounds were all taken back.]
【only……】
Jiang Dai patted her second son on the shoulder: "No need, your parents will figure it out ourselves first. At worst, we still have your eldest brother."
"Your mother knows that you truly consider your parents as family, and the Mu family is still your family, so you think it's okay for the Mu family to help your parents."
"But Father and Mother are embarrassed, and besides, the Mu family originally had no connection with the Kang family..."
Bai Yunxing: "Yes, Bei Lanfeng was found by them, so we already had a grudge."
Jiang Dai's mind went blank.
Bei Lanfeng?
Who is it?
It seems to be that spy! The one who deals in saltpeter!
I forgot, it's been a long time, and my memory isn't very good.
Bai Yunxing nodded: "So, Mother went to find someone. We should save money where we can. Maybe the Mu family will need our help in the future."
Watching Bai Yunxing's small figure leave, Jiang Dai couldn't help but touch the tip of her nose.
I'm taking advantage of my younger self again.
Bai Yun'an watched his second brother's figure disappear from sight.
He lowered his head slightly.
It seems everyone in this family is very honest, except for me.
Hidden nearby was Juanjuan, who dared not reveal her mind-reading ability at all: ...
I really want to tell my third brother that there's a not-so-honest little brat next to him.
But the little boy didn't dare to speak. He only dared to cautiously move closer to his third brother, tug at his sleeve with his little hand, and snuggle up to him.
"Don't be afraid."
Bai Yun'an thought the child was scared, so he reached out and touched the child's hair.
They waited in the stillness for the storm to arrive, their eyes growing ever more composed.
It's best not to provoke them too much, otherwise I have many ways to kill them.
Juanjuan's heart skipped a beat, and then she gripped her third brother's small hand tightly.
Killing is wrong, but... but Third Brother won't kill people easily.
Whether her third brother is a good person or not, he's still her third brother!
Bai Yun'an's expression changed slightly.
[My favorability rating has increased a little again. What did I do this time? Kids are so strange!]
Inside the yamen (government office).
The Bai family, men, women, and children...
Bai Yunqi has lived for a thousand years, which is considered very old by ordinary standards.
The Bai family, young and old, remained calm. They were all seasoned veterans with plenty of resources and strength, so what were they afraid of?
Juanjuan was a little nervous at first, but seeing that her family members weren't afraid, she encouraged herself and stopped being afraid.
The only one who was afraid and nervous was Qin Erniang, who was just a background character.
This was the first time she had ever caused a scene at the yamen. Although she was in the right, sometimes being in the right doesn't guarantee victory. She wasn't a child anymore; she no longer had the mindset that justice guarantees victory.
"Okay, don't be nervous, it's alright!"
Jiang Dai gently squeezed Qin Erniang's hand, and at this moment, a faint smile appeared on her face.
What's there to be afraid of?
In this place where connections matter, they also have connections.
