The sun was high in the sky, the mansion was shrouded in the scorching sun, and even the air was filled with a stuffy atmosphere.
In Aunt Li's yard, the few green plants were wilted and lifeless due to being exposed to the sun.
Inside the house, Aunt Li was sitting in front of a bronze mirror, pulling her hair with the comb in her hand. She hissed in pain, but she was unaware of it. She muttered, "That bitch Aunt Zhao has become more and more arrogant recently. The master is so obsessed with her that he is dizzy. How can he live like this?"
Bai Xinyao came out from the inner room and said irritably, "Mom, please stop grumbling, it annoys me to death.
In my father's eyes now, there are only Bai Hao, Bai Ling'er and the children of his aunts. He doesn't care about me, his daughter. ”
As he said that, he sat down on the chair, picked up the snack on the table and took a big bite.
Aunt Li turned around and looked at her daughter, her eyes full of dissatisfaction: "Yao'er, don't be anxious.
We have to think of a way to make the master pay attention to us again.
Otherwise, we can go and ask the master tomorrow to tell him that you have been feeling unwell lately and ask him to hire a good doctor to take a look. ”
Bai Xinyao frowned and said impatiently: "Will this method work?
I had begged him before, but my father didn't take it seriously. ”
Aunt Li bit her tongue and said, "This time it's different. Let's cry harder and mention Bai Linglong again. Say that we heard that she is a great doctor. Maybe the master will ask her for help for you."
Bai Xinyao's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly: "Okay, let's do it.
Let's go early tomorrow and stop father to see if he still hides from us. ”
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky began to turn pale, the servants in the marquis's mansion began to get busy.
In the kitchen, the stove was blazing, and the cooks were busy preparing breakfast;
In the garden, the servants were pruning flowers and plants, their foreheads covered with sweat.
Aunt Li and Bai Xinyao came to the front hall early, waiting for Bai Zhentian.
Not long after, Bai Zhentian came over with heavy steps, his face gloomy, as if he didn't sleep well last night.
Upon seeing this, Aunt Li immediately rushed forward, knelt down with a plop, and cried, "Master, please make the decision for us mother and daughter!
This mansion is now entirely ruled by Aunt Zhao, and my daughter and I have been bullied to the point where we have almost no chance of survival! ”
Bai Xinyao followed and knelt down, crying:
"Father, my daughter has been having nightmares lately and has had severe headaches when she wakes up. Someone must be cursing us behind our backs.
Please have pity on me. ”
Bai Zhentian waved his hands impatiently: "Come on, come on, what's the point of crying?
If you have anything to say, get up and talk. ”
Aunt Li cried even louder, with snot and tears all over her face: "Master, please don't ignore us!
We, mother and daughter, are being trampled underfoot in this mansion and are almost going to have no chance to survive.
Look at Xinyao, how thin she has become! ”
Bai Xinyao fell to Bai Zhentian's feet and hugged his legs: "Father, please save us, I'm scared..."
Bai Zhentian frowned, looking helpless: "Then tell me, what exactly do you want me to do?"
Aunt Li hurriedly opened the door, but as soon as she spoke, a strong stench spread out and instantly filled the whole room.
Bai Zhentian frowned and subconsciously covered his nose, his face full of disgust.
Aunt Li was unaware of this and continued to talk non-stop: "Master, Aunt Zhao and her little bastards are showing off their power in the mansion every day and instigating the servants to isolate us.
My daughter and I can't even have a hot meal on weekdays. You have to take care of us!
And as for Bai Linglong, I heard that she is an excellent doctor, so go and ask her to save Xinyao.
As long as you get better, we will live in peace in the future. ”
As she opened and closed her mouth, the stench grew stronger, making the air around her seem to freeze.
Bai Zhentian couldn't stand it any longer and shouted, "Stop!
You have such a foul mouth! ”
It’s better to say less.
As Bai Zhentian spoke, he winked at the maid at the door, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and open the doors and windows!"
The maids hurriedly ran to open the doors and windows, and a gust of hot wind blew in, but failed to dispel the disgusting smell.
Bai Xinyao's face turned red and white at the side. She could smell the bad smell from her mother's mouth but dared not say anything.
Bai Zhentian endured the discomfort and said to Bai Xinyao: "Look at your mother, what a disgrace!
And you, you are restless on weekdays. ”
Bai Xinyao lowered her head, sobbing softly, not daring to refute.
Bai Zhentian waved his hands impatiently and said, "Go back to your own yard.
One has pus on his face and the other has a smelly mouth, how shameful!
I'll think of a solution. Stop making trouble. ”
Aunt Li wanted to say something else, but Bai Zhentian glared at her, so she had to swallow her words.
The mother and daughter stood up dejectedly and hurriedly left the front hall under the strange gazes of everyone.
After returning to the courtyard, Aunt Li sat on a chair and kept complaining: "Why did the master treat us like this?
We just asked him for help, but he despised us. ”
Bai Xinyao sat aside, silent, feeling both embarrassed and annoyed.
After leaving the front hall, Bai Zhentian went straight to the study, preparing to change his clothes before going out.
When passing by the garden, two maids were whispering in the corner.
"Hey, did you see that?
The smell in the front hall just now was simply terrible!
Aunt Li's breath stinks, and even the Marquis can't stand the stink. ”
The maid said in a sweet voice.
The maidservant Xiao Tao nodded quickly: "I heard that, no wonder the Marquis asked to open the doors and windows.
Aunt Li was usually arrogant and domineering, but now she had made such a fool of herself. ”
"I heard that the Marquis is going out. I wonder if he is going to find a husband for Aunt Li and Second Sister, and to avoid this stench at the same time."
The maid Tao guessed.
"Who knows? But the Marquis has been in so many troubles recently. I'm afraid the Marquis's Mansion will not be peaceful again."
The maid Lan sighed.
Bai Zhentian changed his clothes and walked out of the study, where he happened to hear two maids talking. He coughed, and the maids turned pale with fright, and quickly bowed and left.
Bai Zhentian ignored them and walked straight to the carriage. With the help of the butler, he got in and drove towards the direction of the palace.
Inside the palace, Bai Linglong, wearing a plain long dress, was sitting on a stone bench in the garden, sipping tea leisurely, with a few books on the wooden table in front of her.
Hearing that her father was coming, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Let him come here."
Bai Zhentian walked into the garden and looked at Bai Linglong with an unnatural look on his face.
Bai Linglong stood up and saluted without being servile or arrogant: "Father, it's been a long time since we last met. I wonder why you came here today?"
Bai Zhentian cleared his throat and said awkwardly: "Linglong, do you know the situation of Aunt Li's daughter Yao?
They have been in poor health recently, and several doctors have been unable to find out what is wrong.
You are a skilled doctor, don’t you…”
Bai Linglong put the teacup on the table with a bang, interrupting him with a cold light in her eyes: "Father, do you remember how they treated me before?
Someone was sent to frame me, drug me, and tamper with my carriage, trying to make me fall off a cliff.
If the old immortal hadn't saved me, I would have died by now.
You want me to save them now? ”
After hearing this, Bai Zhentian's face instantly turned red, and he slammed the stone table and roared, "How dare they act like this!
Against the sky!
I'll go back now and punish them severely! ”
Bai Linglong looked at her angry father with mixed feelings. She was silent for a moment and said slowly, "Father, I know you are in a lot of pain, but if you deal with it so ostentatiously, it may cause trouble and damage the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion.
It would be better to send them to the manor, away from the gossips of the Marquis's Mansion, and secretly send someone to watch them, so as to preserve the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion and let them get the punishment they deserve. ”
Bai Zhentian thought it made sense, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Linglong, you are really thoughtful.
