Chapter 612: Explanation
"Yi Huai, this incident is to teach you a lesson."
Zhong Nianyao looked at Yi Huai's miserable appearance, smiled coldly, and said, "Sometimes, it's better not to look around casually, otherwise you will die without knowing how."
Yi Huai knelt on the ground in a panic, feeling like he had just survived a catastrophe. He had never expected that he would almost die here just because he looked at Zhong Nianyao out of curiosity.
If Zhong Nianyao hadn't spoken just now, he really thought he might die. This wasn't an illusion, but a real thing.
Hearing Zhong Nianyao's words, Yi Lin's face turned even uglier. However, he couldn't break up with the Baili family right now, so he could only swallow all the humiliation.
Taking a deep breath, Yi Lin softened his expression and said, "Brother Baili, what Yi Huai did was indeed outrageous. I don't have the face to ask you to forgive him. However, in this matter, it was our Yi family who was at fault first. I will definitely compensate you."
After saying that, Yi Lin directly put forward a series of proposals for ceding land and paying compensation, and guaranteed that everything he had just mentioned would be delivered to the Baili family within three days.
Baili Hengyuan felt no wavering when he heard the treasures Yi Lin mentioned.
Over the years, he had felt guilty towards the Yi family because of the broken engagement, and had given them a lot of compensation, both openly and covertly. Now, all Yi Lin had to do was return all those things.
Looking at Baili Hengyuan's calm expression, Yi Lin knew that the other party was not moved by it.
He immediately continued, "I recently got some good medicinal herbs, including a thousand-year-old ginseng and a snow spirit flower. I'll send someone over to give them to Le Yao to replenish her body! She just woke up and is still weak! With some good care of herself, I'm sure she'll recover soon."
Forget about the thousand-year-old ginseng, but giving away the Snow Spirit Flower really broke his heart.
You know, this Snow Spirit Flower has miraculous effects and can almost bring the dead back to life. He has lived for so long, but this is the first time he has seen such a rare treasure! Now, for Yi Huai, he can only hand it over to the Baili family.
Baili Hengyuan's expression was originally okay, but after hearing about the Snow Spirit Flower, his face suddenly turned gloomy, and even looked frozen.
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the living room became much more depressing, and even the air seemed to be filled with a suffocating atmosphere.
Yi Lin was puzzled. Just now, although Baili Hengyuan was reluctant to give in, his attitude had softened somewhat. But now, his face suddenly became stern, and there was a hint of anger in his expression.
Yi Huai already felt bad when Yi Lin mentioned the Snow Spirit Flower.
He hadn't told his father about the Snow Spirit Flower before. He had never thought that his father would give the Snow Spirit Flower away, so naturally he hadn't told him.
If I suddenly say it now, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the Baili family.
And the fact is indeed so, Baili Hengyuan's face is extremely ugly.
"There are some things that I think Patriarch Yi might not be very clear about." Zhong Nianyao spoke with interest, "Before, Yi Huai stole the Snow Spirit Flower that my father found for my mother. Is what you're doing now considered compensation?"
"Steal?" Yi Huai frowned, then looked at each other and thought of something. His eyes suddenly fixed on Yi Huai, "What on earth is going on?"
Yi Huai avoided the gaze and didn't dare to meet Yi Lin's eyes.
"Haha, it seems that Patriarch Yi doesn't really understand his own son!" Zhong Nianyao blinked, a smile on her face, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "My father risked his life to pick the Snow Spirit Flower, and even fell off a cliff because of it. Now his life or death is uncertain. It's a pity that the Snow Spirit Flower didn't end up in my mother's belly, but was replaced by Yi Huai."
"As for who ended up with the Snow Spirit Flower, I think you can guess it."
Suddenly, Yi Lin's face turned ashen, and his eyes fell on Yi Huai like knives. "Very good, Yi Huai, you are very good. I really didn't expect that my son is such a romantic! When there is something good, the first thing he thinks of is his wife. Should I praise you for being a good husband?"
At this moment, his anger was directed at Yi Huai. He was not angry that Yi Huai had secretly replaced Baili Leyao's medicine. He was angry that Yi Huai had obtained such a good thing as the Snow Spirit Flower and gave it directly to Huang Wan without even informing him.
Even at this point, when everything was exposed, Yi Huai was still hiding something from him, causing him to bring up an inappropriate topic at such an inappropriate time, making the whole atmosphere awkward.
Especially today, the reason why he appeared in the Baili family was entirely for Yi Huai. But in Yi Huai's eyes, he, the father, did not exist at all.
"Father, I'm sorry."
Yi Huai also knew that at this moment, no matter what kind of explanation he made, it would be useless. Moreover, it was not appropriate for him to make any explanation in such an occasion.
The only thing he could do now was to apologize.
Yi Lin glared at Yi Huai fiercely, then calmed himself down before continuing, "Brother Baili, this is all Yi Huai's fault. However, he was deliberately misled by Huang Wan, which is why he did this."
"I will definitely teach him a lesson, so please don't be angry."
That humble look seemed to really put himself in the lowest position.
Baili Hengyuan said nothing, but just looked at Yi Lin coldly.
“Puff—”
At this moment, a crisp laugh broke the solemn atmosphere in the living room.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhong Nianyao covering her mouth and laughing softly.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Yi Lin's eyes. He felt that Zhong Nian Yao was making fun of him.
"You little girl." Baili Hengyuan smiled and shook his head, his tone full of fondness, "What's so funny about this!"
"No, I just thought it was funny." Zhong Nianyao held her chin with one hand, looked at Yi Lin, and said with a smile, "Master Yi, you have been here for so long, and you keep asking Yi Huai to apologize to us. Of course, I also believe in your sincerity. But, until now, you haven't said how you are going to give an explanation!"
