Chapter 755: Pretending to be sick (3 more chapters for the reward from the book friend "Jinyiwei: Rongrong")
"Where else can I live if not here?"
"Then I don't know. We are servants, how can we know about the masters' affairs?"
Although the servants of the Bai Mansion on Kangxue Street felt that they were lying, they had no evidence and could do nothing about it.
At most, you can scare the other person fiercely.
But could the servants who were left here by Old Lady Liu to guard the house and serve Bai Shan be scared?
That was of course impossible, so the servants of the Bai Mansion on Kangxue Street had to return empty-handed.
After calling a doctor, Bai Yu, who had calmed down, suddenly became furious again and said angrily, "If he's not at home, where else could he be? He thinks he's in trouble and is hiding. Do you think I can't find him?"
The servants lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Bai Yu said, "Get the car ready tomorrow morning, and I'll go to the prefectural academy to find him!"
"yes."
After hearing this, Duan couldn't help but frown and quietly went to find the old lady.
The next morning, when Bai Yu went to pay his respects to Madam Zuo, she stopped him and said, "It's just a quarrel between a few children. The doctor said Erlang is fine. Just give him a few words of advice and don't scare the children."
She said, "You know you care about your own son, but this guy is your only child, wouldn't you care even more?"
Bai Yu said, "That's why he needs to be taught even more. He knows he's the only son, but he still causes trouble like this, even three against one. This..."
"Then you have to ask them why they were fighting," Mrs. Liu recalled her daughter-in-law's hint from last night. She lowered her eyes, took a sip of tea, and then said, "I've only met Bai Shan and Bai Cheng twice, so I don't know them well. But I did say a lot about the girl who fought with them. She looked gentle, generous, and cheerful. How could she have started a fight?"
Bai Yu didn't say anything for a moment.
Madam Zuo chided him, "I know you love Erlang, but you also have to remember that there's Dalang above Erlang. Although they're both illegitimate sons, the eldest son still has the title of elder. You dote on Erlang and naturally think he's perfect, but I think he's a little too spoiled."
"We just moved to Yizhou City and haven't even found our feet yet. We need our relatives to lend us support. How would it look if we started a fight with them now?"
Bai Yu lowered his eyes and responded.
Seeing that he had listened carefully, Madam Zuo let him go and said, "Get ready to go to the government office."
Although he said this, Bai Yu couldn't help but pause when he walked outside, then walked onto the carriage road: "Let's go to the prefectural school."
He wanted to ask Bai Shan why they were fighting.
But when Bai Yu ran to the provincial school, he still came back empty-handed.
Bai Yu: ...
The gentleman on duty glanced at Bai Yu and said, "Someone from the Bai Shan family came to ask for leave early this morning. He said he was injured and needs a day off."
Bai Yu thought of his son's bruised face and assumed Bai Shan was also injured, so he ignored it and asked, "Sir, do you know where they live?"
The gentleman on duty looked at him strangely and said, "Didn't this gentleman say he was Bai Shan's uncle? How come you don't know where he lives?"
If he hadn't revealed his identity as a fifth-rank official early on, he wouldn't have leaked the students' information.
After taking a look at the business card Bai Yu took out, the gentleman told him Bai Shan's registered address.
Bai Yu didn't expect that they really didn't live in Huanxi Street, so he took his attendant and went straight to the new address.
Zhou Silang was squatting in front of a stall at the entrance of the alley, bragging to someone and picking up some lotus roots on the stall. Suddenly, he saw a carriage coming. He stared at the emblem on the carriage and found that it was indeed the familiar Bai family emblem.
Zhou Silang immediately stood up and ran back. The vendor couldn't help but call out to him from behind, "Brother Zhou Si, don't you want it anymore?"
Zhou Silang said without even turning his head: "Yes, yes, yes, keep it for me first. I forgot to bring money, I'll go back and get it."
"Then you can take the things back first and bring the money later..." Before he could finish his words, Zhou Silang had already disappeared.
Zhou Silang ran home quickly. In the small courtyard, three people were standing in the sun with their hands behind their backs, reciting their lessons with their heads shaking. Mr. Zhuang was sitting in a recliner, listening leisurely.
Last night, the servants from Huanxi Street came to the door and said that someone from the Bai Mansion on Kangxue Street was looking for them, saying that Bai Yu wanted to invite them over.
Bai Shan and the others didn't expect that they really beat the younger one and attracted the older one, so the three of them got together to discuss it and took sick leave together the next day.
Mr. Zhuang agreed with a blind eye.
However, although the three of them did not have to go to the academy or the pharmacy, they could not sit idle at home, so they had to memorize their lessons and attend morning classes early in the morning.
When Zhou Silang ran in, he saw that they were reading and started to rush around anxiously, but he didn't dare to interrupt them suddenly.
Seeing that he was like an ant on a hot pot, Mr. Zhuang couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Mr. Zhuang had finally noticed him, Zhou Silang immediately ran up to him and said, "Sir, the carriage from the Bai Mansion next door has arrived. Do you think they are here to cause trouble?"
Mr. Zhuang frowned slightly and looked at Manbao, "Didn't you say it was just a superficial wound?"
Manbao thought carefully about it. What she saw after beating the man yesterday were just superficial injuries. Could it be that she made an inaccurate estimate because she didn't feel his pulse?
She subconsciously looked at Daji.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang also looked at Daji.
Daji, who was feeding the horse, paused and said, "It's just a superficial wound."
"...Then is there any need to come here so early in the morning to block them off?" Zhou Silang was also startled, but now he calmed down a little and looked at Bai Shan and Bai Erlang and said, "Didn't they say they are relatives of yours? It's just a fight between children, so let them solve it themselves. Why are the adults in their family so protective of their children?"
Mr. Zhuang also felt that the elders of the Bai Mansion next door were too protective of their own shortcomings. After thinking for a moment, he waved to his three disciples and said, "Alright, let's end our morning class here."
The three of them were motionless for a moment. What were they going to do so early in the morning when they didn't have classes?
Zhou Silang saw that the three of them didn't move, and stamped his feet in anger, "What are you still standing there for? Go back to bed and pretend to be sick!"
The three men came to their senses, stole a glance at the gentleman, and saw that he had a calm expression, as if he had not heard Zhou Silang's words. They then turned around and ran back to their rooms and lay down.
Manbao was still a little skeptical and asked Keke in his heart, "Keke, did you see us beating people up yesterday?"
Koko responded.
"Did he suffer any internal injuries?"
Keke: "It's mostly cartilage contusion, nothing serious, just rest for a while."
Manbao felt relieved after hearing this. It seemed that it was only a superficial injury. He wondered who the person was and whether his fourth brother could handle it.
Just as she was thinking this, there was a sudden knock on her window. She looked up and saw Mr. Zhuang standing in front of his window. "Come out, your two junior brothers are injured. You are the only one in the family who knows medicine. You must take good care of your junior brothers."
Manbao was stunned for a moment, his eyes rolled, and he immediately understood.
