When Bai Shijie died, he thought it was his second brother who wanted to go all the way. If Gu Xin hadn't ordered everyone to stay in the courtyard, he would have wanted to question his second brother about why he killed his nephew.
Until this morning's incident in the third room, until Gu Xin led people to investigate Bai Shijun's room.
To be honest, he couldn't understand Bai Shijun's motive for killing people.
Although Bai Shijun was his son, he was the eldest son of the second branch of the family. After his second brother inherited the title, the title of the Donglin Prince's Mansion would belong to Bai Shijun. At this time, Bai Shijun had no reason to kill him.
Even if you know the truth, you could wait. Why kill someone?
"Go on!" The princess gripped her prayer beads tightly, her eyes glaring fiercely at Bai Shijun.
“Because my father—oh, no, I don’t even know what to call him anymore. If I call him ‘father,’ he’s not my father, but if I call him ‘second uncle,’ then his wife is indeed my biological mother. It’s such a contradiction.” Bai Shijun smiled sarcastically and continued, “Then let’s just call him Second Master Bai, like outsiders! Grandmother, everyone, do you know? Second Master Bai has a health problem; he can’t have children and has been taking medicine. Of course, my biological father, Third Master Bai, also has this problem. The two brothers take medicine together, but my biological father was cured, while Second Master Bai wasn’t. Do you all know why?”
After a pause, Bai Shijun looked at Gu Xin and asked with a smile, "Princess Xin Xin is so amazing. She knows about the twins being switched and that I am the murderer. Does the princess know why one of the twins was cured while the other was not?"
Gu Xin raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh? I really don't know that. I'd like to hear more about it."
Bai Shijun said with some regret, "I should have been more careful. The princess couldn't find out about me, but if she investigated further, she might have found out."
Apart from Bai Laosan, everyone else was staring at Bai Shijun, afraid of missing something.
The first and fourth wives found it unbelievable, while the second and third wives felt deeply ashamed, but they still wanted to know the disgusting things the brothers had done.
Bai Shijun sighed and said, "Outsiders all say that the Second Master of the Bai family manages the Donglin Prince's Mansion very well, while the Third Master of the Bai family only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun. They are siblings born of the same mother, and their birth times are only a quarter of an hour apart. How can there be such a big difference? People praise the Second Master of the Bai family, but they despise the Third Master. But who knows that a large part of the Third Master's tarnished reputation is because of the Second Master?"
Bai Laosan looked at Bai Shijun with complicated emotions. In this world, only Bai Shijun knew the details. He couldn't believe that someone actually knew.
"Stop talking nonsense and get back to the question we just discussed. Why couldn't Second Brother be cured?" Master Bai asked eagerly.
"Fourth Uncle, don't be anxious. Hey, look at me, I call you Fourth Uncle very smoothly, unlike when I call you Third Uncle or Father, it's so awkward." Bai Shijun smiled and said, "Fourth Uncle wants to know why Second Master Bai couldn't cure the illness, right? Fourth Uncle, do you remember the time between my birth and my Third Brother's birth? My Third Brother and I are three years apart, a full three years. Isn't Third Master Bai being particularly absurd?"
The third wife moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but when she saw Bai Laosan, she couldn't say anything.
The second wife was completely stunned, like a fool who had lost her soul.
