Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

"You should tell yourself that."

Mo Che rubbed his fingertips over the place she slapped just now, and continued, "Since you came to the capital, you have been acting alone more and more, and now you don't rely on me at all."

Xia Bai'an inexplicably heard something strange from this sentence.

They need to help in Qingshan Town, but it is because it is indeed a remote place. Compared with reasoning and dealing with it, most of them need to use some fists or eavesdrop on these behaviors to achieve their goals.

But now when he came to the capital, he was only compared with his own methods and calculations.

And the trust between the two of them is getting weaker and weaker, and it is natural that it is difficult to trust and rely on each other, which is also reasonable.

"I want to solve the affairs in the backyard, but you want to solve the secrets behind you. We don't have the same way, and we don't conspire." Xia Bai'an said frankly.

"You're still blaming me for not telling you the truth."

"No complaints, just a little sad." Shaking her head, Xia Bai'an slowly stood up while leaning on the edge of the table. The hands wrapped in white gauze were particularly eye-catching. She continued, "If you want to tell me the truth, you must use your intelligence There are ways to tell the truth to me, but...you have been avoiding it for so long, it seems that the truth will hurt me."

Mo Che's fingertips clenched a little bit.

Sure enough, Xia Bai'an really understood him well.

He raised his head, facing Xia Bai'an's transparent eyes.

"You are very smart."

"Then I guessed right." Xia Bai'an sighed a long time, "You will do things that make me unhappy or even disgusted, right?"

"..."

Mo Che suddenly fell silent again.

Xia Bai'an already knew his answer, so he turned around and left: "If you want to hide it, you can hide it. When the matter comes to the surface, I will decide whether to stay or not. As for the matter that I want to solve, you should not interfere. .”

Doors opened and closed.

Mo Che was left alone in the room for an instant.

He sat where he was, his stiff fingers resting on Chutu's temples uncomfortably, his eyes were cold.

It's back to square one.

As long as these truths are not exposed, Xia Bai'an seems to never fully trust him and rely on him.

It's frustrating.

The door was pushed open again, and A Gao led Mo Qian in. Mo Qian heard the conversation between the two clearly from the next door, temporarily dismissed A Gao, and told Mo Che.

"Father, how long do we have to wait before starting to act? I feel like if we continue to wait like this, Mother will really be disappointed in us!"

"Before, I only thought that this plan would take several years to plan. Today, it seems that I will need to rely on some external force." A faint blackness appeared in Mo Che's eyes, "During the outing in spring, you will go to the hunting ground with me. .”

Mo Qian was slightly stunned: "But when the spring outing, King An didn't want to..."

Mo Che nodded: "The current situation has not yet begun to turmoil, and it is impossible for King An to succeed in a hasty assassination. He told Xiao Honglang that he wanted to assassinate this time, but he just wanted to find Xiao Honglang's chess pieces and see his allies clearly. But we , but you can take this opportunity to do something."

"Father means, do you want to take advantage of this matter to climb one step further?"

"Whatever I want to do, I will deal with it myself. And you, maybe in the chaos, let Ying Hongxiu and Meng Ke take the place of the dead ghosts." Mo Che's eyes deepened, "Xia Bai'an can no longer be involved in these power struggles. Besides, If the water is not muddy, how can we fish in muddy water?"

Mo Qian vaguely understood something and nodded repeatedly.

……

at the same time.

When Xia Bai'an returned to the restaurant again, Yun Xue had already left with the people, and the waiter in the restaurant trembled and did not dare to open the door of the private room, and only let Xia Bai'an come over.

The waiter in the shop cried and said: "Go in and have a look, the eldest lady of the prime minister's mansion is really ruthless, and beat up both aunts..."

"It didn't ruin your appearance, did it?"

Xia Bai'an interrupted him.

The shop clerk was stunned for a moment, then shook his head again and again: "No, it's just a few slaps on the face, which is very red and swollen."

"You don't need to publicize this matter, let alone tell the prime minister's mansion, so that your restaurant won't provoke Yun Xue's anger, do you understand?" Xia Bai'an ordered, and stepped into the private room.

The waiter nodded again and again, it should be yes, his heart sank.

Why did he feel that Xia Bai'an and Yun Xue seemed to be in the same group, and they came here specially to teach the two aunts a lesson?

Xia Bai'an stepped into the private room, and saw that the private room was in a mess, leftovers were scattered all over the floor, Ying Hongxiu was leaning on the chair, but the back of his hand was a little swollen, and his face seemed to be fine.

Half of Meng Ke's face was almost swollen into a pig's head, and her arms and legs were cut open by pieces, oozing blood. Lian'er hurriedly bandaged her wound, crying out of breath.

"The eldest lady of the prime minister's mansion is too deceitful!"

"That's right, seeing that Madam has an official position, she doesn't dare to move, but she can't find pleasure in our aunt!" Lang'er was also filled with righteous indignation, while muttering that luckily she didn't hurt her face.

Wu Yue followed Xia Bai'an, deliberately slammed the door shut and made a sound.

The two aunts turned their heads in unison in an instant.

Ying Hongxiu's eyes were full of hatred, but she still gritted her teeth and bowed tremblingly to salute.

But Meng Ke didn't have such a good temper. He almost got up from the chair and pointed at Xia Bai'an's face: "Good Xia Bai'an! Seeing that Yun Xue was going to get angry, he turned around and left, telling Ying Hongxiu and me to stay alone." Come down and bear the wrath! You just want us to die!"

"Auntie! You can't talk to Madam like that!"

Lian Er was shocked, and quickly hugged Meng Ke's hand.

But even though Meng Ke was a concubine, she had never been humiliated like this when she was in the mansion. How could a Lian'er stop her, she pushed him away and rushed towards Xia Bai'an with red eyes.

"You did it on purpose, didn't you! You just wanted to... ah—"

She hasn't finished speaking yet.

Xia Bai'an slapped her loudly on the face.

Meng Ke didn't stand still, and was about to fall to the side, but Xia Bai'an quickly grabbed her hand, and pulled her directly in front of him.

Meng Ke staggered a few steps, almost sticking to Xia Bai'an in front of him, unconsciously meeting those cold eyes, his tongue instantly turned into a stone, unable to move.

Xia Bai'an approached her and smiled coldly.

"I did it on purpose. If you don't learn a lesson, how do you know that the wound on my hand is so painful, and how do you know that I am not as calm and composed as I show? Since you want to make a living under my hands, you should know...even if I can't hurt you with my hands, but as long as I am willing, it is more than enough to call other people to teach you."

After she finished speaking, seeing Meng Ke trembling like chaff in fright, she ruthlessly pushed him to Lian Er's side.

Lian Er quickly supported Meng Ke, looked at the sneer on Xia Bai'an's face in horror, fearing that there would be no good fruit in the future, she gritted her teeth and wanted to win the game, and said bluntly.

"Madam, aren't you afraid that we will tell Concubine Degui about this matter?"
