Chapter 54 Chapter 54 I might as well kill her myself
When Bai Songxu returned home, he was soaked like a drowned rat, with water stains dripping all the way into the living room.
Butler Xu and Sister Qiao were extremely anxious when they saw the people there. One of them quickly asked someone to run hot water into the Fifth Young Master's room, while the other ran to the kitchen and ordered someone to make ginger soup to ward off the cold.
Bai Songxu was urged by Butler Xu to take a shower.
Bai Qingqing, who was dressed dry, was first grabbed by Sister Qiao and pressed against the long table. Sister Qiao, who had returned from the kitchen, quickly stuffed a bowl of chicken soup into her hand.
"Ms. Qingqing, you didn't get wet, did you? Even though it's May now, it's still unbearably cold when it rains."
"Don't worry, no, I went home as soon as I saw it was raining, so I didn't get wet at all. Thank you, Aunt Qiao."
Bai Qingqing thanked him with a smile, picked up the untouched ginseng and red dates and put them into an empty bowl beside her, drank a mouthful of hot soup, and said casually, "It's almost time for dinner. Who's here today?"
"Madam, Mr. Bai, and the eldest young master are not here today. It's you, Miss Mu Ning, and the fifth young master." Sister Qiao counted the people and put the ginseng that Bai Qingqing had picked back into her bowl with a serving chopstick. "Miss Qingqing, it's not bitter."
Sister Qiao didn't know why, but from the first day the child came back to the Bai family and the first time she saw Bai Qingqing, she felt sorry for the child.
Maybe because she is the biological daughter of the Mr. and Mrs., she has worked in the Bai family for more than 20 years and loves all the children in the Bai family.
I heard that Miss Qingqing lived in the countryside since she was a child. It’s not that the living conditions in the countryside are bad, but looking at how thin and withered the little lady looked when she just returned home, you can tell that she has suffered a lot during her growth over the years.
Now that she is back at the Bai family, living a comfortable life with no shortage of conditions, Sister Qiao wants to quickly take care of Bai Qingqing, make her as fair and tender as Miss Mu Ning, and add some flesh to her whole frame.
Bai Qingqing looked at the red dates and ginseng that were put back in the bowl, and slightly curved her lower lip. She did not reject Sister Qiao's kindness, but said as she ate, "I don't like wet red dates, nor do I like the taste of the sweetness of red dates mixed with chicken soup."
"Hey, remember, I'll cook it differently next time." Sister Qiao smiled and added two more items to Miss Qingqing's little notebook of food preferences.
"Thank you, Aunt Qiao. I have something to do tonight. Could you please have dinner delivered to my room?" Bai Qingqing took a big gulp of the hot soup, then stood up and raised the half-empty bowl of soup in her hand: "This bowl is enough."
"Okay, I'll send it to you later."

In the evening, Bai Songxu took a shower and came downstairs to have dinner. The table was already set with dishes and the people in the kitchen served the dishes one by one at a time, and all the dishes were ready in an instant.
Bai Muning was sitting at the table reading a book, waiting for him to come over.
Bai Songxu looked around the table but didn't see the third set of bowls and chopsticks. He didn't disturb Bai Muning who was reading and asked Sister Qiao, "Where's Bai Qingqing? Didn't she go home?"
"Are you looking for Sister Qingqing? She's in her room and has already eaten. She won't eat with us tonight." Bai Muning took the initiative to answer, closed the book and put it aside, urging him: "Hurry up and sit down. I've been waiting for you for a while. I'm starving."
Bai Songxu frowned, looked in the direction of her room upstairs, pulled out a chair and sat down.
Bai Mu Ning: "Do you have something to do with her?"
"No, I have something to ask her."
Sister Qiao stood aside and replied, "Miss Qingqing has something to do tonight, why don't Master Songxu send her a message to ask?"
Bai Songxu doesn't have her contact information.
No phone number, no social friends.
I didn't even want to go to her room and knock on the door myself.
Bai Songxu's brows were twisted into a ball, and his face showed that he was annoyed. He muttered unhappily, "What could happen to her? She's nowhere to be seen in the morning or evening every day, and I don't know what she's busy with..."
The boy's muttering reached Bai Mu Ning's ears.
She paused holding the chopsticks and glanced sideways at Bai Songxu. The young man didn't notice her gaze at all. He was obviously still immersed in his own thoughts, his eyes drifting towards the seat where Bai Qingqing usually sat.
Fifth Brother is not like this usually. Although he would argue with Li Qingqing as soon as he saw her, most of the time, Fifth Brother would completely ignore her and didn't care whether that person was there or what she was doing.
Bai Muning's heart tightened, his face looked a little unnatural, he quickly put the dishes back into the bowl, and said in a natural way: "Bai Songxu, what do you dislike about Sister Qingqing? She is also our family now, don't make trouble for her for everything."
Bai Songxu's eyes widened and he put down his chopsticks: "Me? I'm causing trouble for her?! Today is..."
He was halfway through his words when he glanced at the textbook in Bai Mu Ning's hand and took back the rest of his words.
Today, he wanted to ask Bai Qingqing again, if she really calculated it, then was there any information that she hadn't told her brother? Or could he calculate again, was there anyone who instructed Han Jia, and who was that person?
But if he told Mu Ning all this, he would have to tell him about the test report he received in the afternoon, and he would not be able to hide the fact that someone had stabbed him.
Mu Ning still has more than half a month before the college entrance examination, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for his sister at this time.
Bai Songxu, who was always impulsive and straightforward, interrupted the conversation and blurted out a random excuse: "I, I wanted to ask her how she could knock me out on the show!"
Bai Muning was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Fifth Brother wanted to mention this matter.
But it's no wonder. Being knocked unconscious on the show was probably the first time in his life. No wonder he still feels aggrieved about it.
Bai Muning felt relieved, pursed his lips and smiled, "You said you weren't looking for trouble with Sister Qingqing, but you're fine, so just think of it as another unforgettable experience."
Bai Songxu ate while holding his breath: "In my opinion, she was just fooling around on the show. She doesn't even look at how she's being scolded online. The second episode is about to be filmed, and seeing how indifferent she is, she's planning to continue filming. She really wants to be a star..."
Bai Muning listened without saying anything.
After Bai Songxu finished complaining, he suddenly thought about the recording of the show and asked his sister, "When we were recording the show before and the production crew was going to sleep, did you have a planned scene with her?"
"What rivalry?" Bai Muning was puzzled.
"It's just...it's something about the young lady who couldn't sleep and got up, Bai Qingqing played the maid and asked her if she wanted to drink some calming tea, and then you asked, where's the tea?" Bai Songxu had a pretty good memory.
At that time, he was blocked outside the door by Bai Qingqing. He could hear clearly at first, but then the voice became softer and he could not hear clearly anymore.
Bai Mu Ning had no memory of this part at all, so he smiled and said, "No, did you remember it wrongly?"
She thought for a moment as she spoke: "Later, there was an actress who played a female ghost in the room. Was that the sound of Sister Qingqing talking to her?"
"No, it's just your two voices. I'm sure I didn't hear it wrong. My ears are very sensitive." Bai Songxu was very sure.
Are you kidding? How could you mistake your own sister’s voice after hearing it for eighteen years?
Bai Muning had no recollection of this part. She recalled that she fell asleep for a while at that time, and she didn't know whether the program crew used her voice, played some audio, or processed it.
Now that the first episode of the show hasn't aired yet, she can't watch the show. She can only wait and search the Internet for her own replay to see if this segment has been captured.
At the moment, I can only be sure of one thing: "No, the director did not arrange any plot for me."
There was no need for Mu Ning to lie to him about this.
Bai Songxu saw Bai Muning slowly shaking his head. The topic he had just casually brought up made the hairs on his back stand up and his skin tighten.
Alas……
Bai Qingqing is such a mysterious person, could it be that there really is a ghost there...
…
Bai Qingqing was in the room, lying on the bed with her legs crossed, holding her cell phone with both hands raised high, facing the screen towards her face.
There was food on the table next to them, the same dishes as those served to Bai Songxu and Bai Muning downstairs. There were two sets of tableware on the edge of the table. One bowl was empty, while the other was still full of white rice with a pair of chopsticks stuck in the middle.
Shen Yan held the bowl and sat at the table to eat.
"Good news, Lu Da returned home yesterday, so we can save some trouble." Bai Qingqing searched for information online and turned to look at Shen Yan: "But you have never been on a plane, so when this last person is finished, we can take a plane to a closer place to play for half a day, and then send you off."
Shen Jian stood straight as a bamboo, and paused for a moment before putting down his bowl and chopsticks and saying, "Thank you, Qingqing."
Bai Qingqing smiled, and seeing that Shen Yan seemed to have lost his appetite, she put down her phone, stretched, and sat up on the bed: "Still eating?"
"Eat, you have to finish the last bite of rice." Shen Yan smiled, picked up the bowl and chopsticks again, and lowered his eyelashes.
Bai Qingqing calculated Lu Da's location and knew he would arrive in the country in the early morning. She did not let Shen Yan sleep in the middle of the night. She woke her up from the bronze mirror, held her hand, burned the written yellow talisman with spiritual fire, and disappeared in the house in an instant.
On weekdays, when the two of them travel, they mostly rely on a car.
The Bai family's driver dropped her off nearby, and then Bai Qingqing dragged Shen Yan and used the shrinking technique to get in front of the person who wanted to kill her.
When Shen Yan opened his eyes, the scene around them had completely changed.
She looked at Bai Qingqing in surprise. Bai Qingqing seemed to understand what she meant and let go of her hand, saying, "Finish it sooner so we can relax and have fun."
The dim street lights created white ripples on the surface of the pond.
The circular light rippled out, like a series of pale human faces.
Someone's footsteps approached in the quiet courtyard. It must be Lu Da's. Shen Yan approached the pond, looked at the reflection of the light in the water that looked like a human face, nodded slightly, pointed at the water and said, "The last one is right here."
The Lu family lives in a Chinese-style villa. The courtyard garden is winding and the grass and trees are scattered at different heights, which is quite interesting. Although there is no well used in ancient times, there is a pond.
When Lu Weixian helped Ma Hongfei to massacre the entire Shen family, she and her mother hid her sister in the well with their own hands.
The three-story courtyard was filled with the bodies of masters and servants. Blood flowed down the bluestone slabs and meandered to the tightly closed gate of the Shen family.
His parents and brother had already died. Shen Tang, who was dragged to the side under a tree, took his last breath and looked through the gaps between the leaves at the well covered with wooden boards.
I thought my sister hid in the bucket and escaped the massacre.
Who knew that Ma Hongfei would come back, turn around in the yard, and throw a torch into the well.
The last thing she heard was a child's shrill scream, which came out from the bottom of the well in an instant. A seven-year-old child curled up in a ball with his whole body on fire was pulled out of the well by Ma Hongfei with a laugh: "There's another one!"
The flames burned the rope and the wooden barrel fell to the bottom of the well with a thud.
The child with flames all over her body was thrown to the ground with a thud. The blood flowing on the ground could not put out the fire on her body.
Shen Yan finally thought that his sister might as well just fall into the water and drown.
No, that's not right.
She and her mother should have killed her sister with their own hands at the beginning.
"Qingqing, I think... can we spend some time together today?" Shen Tang's eyes were full of tears. He glanced across the quiet pond and looked at the middle-aged man standing in front of them.
Separated by Shen Tang.
Behind Lu Da was Ma Hongfei's standing, dying soul.
Bai Qingqing: "It's okay. If you have any ideas, just tell me. I told you to do as you like."
"Let him escape." Shen Yan turned around and ignored Lu Da who was walking towards them. Facing Ma Hongfei who was frightened again, he said calmly: "If you escape, I won't kill you."
"Run!" A dark murderous aura rose from Shen Yan's face. She pinched Ma Hongfei's shoulders with her slender hands and threw him into Lu Da's body before he could even say a word.
The man in the dark yellow suit's eyes changed, he staggered back two steps, turned around and ran away.
The entire green garden was engulfed in flames all around, forming a closed cage of fire.
Swallowing the sky and the earth.
