Chapter 868 Eavesdropping
Bai Shan frowned and said, "We were just at the Qi family, so we couldn't ask in detail where the villa was. We only know that it's in the western suburbs, about twenty miles outside the city gate. To confirm whether it's true or not, we need to ask Erji to take a look."
Manbao said, "Erji can't go out now, right?"
Bai Shan: "Let's go find a picture and draw it for him."
Manbao turned his head and looked at him.
Bai Shan coughed lightly, covered his stomach and said in pain: "I feel a little pain in my stomach, not feeling well. Can you give me some medicine? I will rest at home for two or three days."
Manbao glanced outside cautiously and said in a low voice, "If Mr. Xiaoxin finds out, I'll settle the score with you."
Bai Shan winked at her and whispered, "If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know?"
Bai Erlang, who happened to be looking for them, leaned forward and stuck his head in through the window, saying quietly, "...I know."
Manbao and Baishan, who were whispering to each other, were both startled. They looked up at the window in panic and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that it was Bai Erlang.
Then both of them couldn't help but feel angry.
Bai Shan rolled up his sleeves and jumped onto a chair, reaching out to grab him through the window. Bai Erlang nimbly jumped back, pointed at him and shouted, "If you dare to bully me, I'll tell the master."
Mr. Zhuang had just put down his book and was about to return to his room when he stopped at the door and asked, "Tell me what?"
Bai Shan winked at Bai Erlang through the window, as if he was butchering a pig. Bai Erlang smiled smugly at Bai Shan before loudly answering Mr. Zhuang's words, "It's nothing, sir. We were just joking."
Mr. Zhuang then went back to his room and said, "I'm going to sleep."
Bai Erlang responded, then ran to Manbao's room door and pushed it open and went in.
He leaned against the screen and looked at the two of you, looking like he had caught you, and snorted, "You actually tried to cheat and skip school. I heard it all."
Manbao asked, "What do you want?"
Bai Erlang said, "It's my turn to bring foot washing water to the master tonight."
Manbao looked at Baishan, who gritted his teeth and said, "I'll get it."
Bai Erlang rolled his eyes and said, "You have to tell me where you went when you skipped school, or I will tell the teacher."
Bai Shan frowned, and Man Bao said, "I'm telling you, you can't keep a secret."
"Who said that?" Bai Erlang said unconvincedly, "I will never tell you, sir. I swear."
Manbao thought for a moment and said, "He wants to go to Guan's house with me to see a doctor."
Bai Erlang scratched his head and asked, "Whose family is the Guan family?"
"He's a patient of Dr. Ji's. He has a severe headache."
Bai Erlang was even more confused, "What does this have to do with Shan Bao?"
Manbao and Baishan choked at the same time. Yes, this seemed to have nothing to do with Baishan.
Bai Erlang stared at the two of them.
Bai Shan blinked and couldn't help but said: "Anyway, I promised Guan Erlang to go, then I have to go, I can't break my promise."
"You're going even if you need leave? You're so close to him after just one meeting?" Bai Erlang was surprised. "We're so familiar with Qi Jue, but you refused to take leave to attend his birthday party. You..."
Bai Erlang paused and said, "No, I also want to go and see what kind of person he is."
Bai Shan and Man Bao: ...
Bai Erlang stared at them and said, "If you dare not agree, I will not help you keep the secret."
Bai Shan frowned and asked, "How do you get to school?"
Bai Erlang looked at Manbao and said, "I will go the same way as you go."
Manbao and Baishan: ...
They both said in unison: "No!"
Bai Shan lowered his voice and said, "I only plan to ask for leave from school, but I don't plan to tell the teacher."
Bai Jilang: "Then I won't tell you, sir."
Manbao and Baishan stared at him as if he were mentally retarded, "Are you stupid? The teacher has a class at the academy tomorrow."
He was having classes in the same academy, and they were classes for their class. How could the teacher not know whether he missed classes or not?
Bai Erlang stared at them for a moment, then walked into the house, sat down on a chair, and said, "You guys figure out a solution."
Bai Shan turned and went out, "I'll go get some water for the gentleman first."
After saying that, he gave Manbao a wink and turned to leave.
Manbao and Bai Erlang stared at each other in the room. A quarter of an hour later, Bai Shan brought out the foot washing water and poured it out. After washing his hands, he went back into the room and said to Bai Erlang proudly, "I have already confessed to the master, and the master has agreed to me."
Bai Erlang looked unconvinced, "I don't believe it."
"If you don't believe me, go ask the master. I also told him about your threats against us."
Bai Erlang opened his mouth wide and stared at Bai Shan for a long time without saying a word.
Bai Shan moved aside to make way for him, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you going or not?"
Bai Erlang snorted angrily, stood up and left.
Manbao gave him a sympathetic look from behind, then secretly gave Bai Shan a thumbs up.
Bai Shan naturally would not tell Mr. Zhuang, as he had skipped classes secretly.
The only one who knew that he had skipped class was Daji. Of course, he did not skip class the next day because it was not the day when Master Guan would see him.
Bai Shan took the diagnosis prescription from Manbao and gave it to Daji, asking him to go to the academy to ask for leave tomorrow. He will still go to school today.
Bai Shan said, "Think about how to talk to Doctor Ji today. After school this afternoon, I'll go with you to talk to Magistrate Tang. If he's not in a position to investigate the Guan family, we can take advantage of tomorrow's opportunity to ask more questions."
Manbao nodded and said, "I will ask Doctor Ji about the Guan family today. He has been treating Master Guan for more than ten years, so he must be very familiar with him."
Bai Shan nodded, and the two parted at the door.
Bai Shan turned around to get in the car. Bai Erlang, who had been secretly (actually openly) leaning against the car window to watch them, quickly lowered the curtains and sat in the car.
Bai Shan got in the car and stared at him.
Bai Erlang fidgeted and asked, "What?"
Bai Shan said gravely, "Do you still remember when you scratched County Magistrate Tang's window at the temple during the temple fair?"
Bai Erlang exclaimed "Ah", not understanding why he suddenly brought up this matter, and nodded.
Bai Shan said, "After we returned to the city, we went to see County Magistrate Tang, and he said something."
"What?"
"He said that people who are more curious usually have more hardships," Bai Shan put his hand on Bai Erlang's shoulder and said seriously, "Junior brother, if you want to live a smooth life, you should be less curious."
Bai Erlang slapped his hand away and said unhappily, "I'm one year older than you, okay?"
He said somewhat unwillingly, "Obviously, the three of us grew up together, and I never hide anything from you. Why are you hiding it from me?"
Bai Shan didn't say anything.
Bai Erlang snorted, turned his head away unhappily and ignored him.
Bai Shan stared at him for a while and said, "Okay, then if you can understand why we have to go to Guan's house, I will tell you everything."
Bai Erlang frowned and began to think.
The next update will be at 10:30 PM
