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

Xia Bai'an sat on the railing next to the colonnade, and when she bent her body, she could see a clear pool, and when she looked up, she could see a starlight. It was a rare pleasure these days. She leaned against the colonnade, playing with the embroidery pattern with her jade fingers.

After an unknown amount of time, the door of Yun Hanyi's room was pushed open, Qi Ming said a few words to Ao Pingchuan, and closed the door again.

Ao Pingchuan went out and walked towards her.

A colonnade separates the two at both ends of the corridor.

Knowing that there was no one around, Ao Pingchuan asked her, "How much do you know about Yunxuan?"

"I don't know much." Xia Bai'an replied.

"Although the reason you just said is sound, I think it's too far-fetched." Ao Pingchuan didn't walk towards her, but seeing her lack of interest, he continued, "You are not a woman driven by reason. Getting there is what you are, but adding a little color along the way is what makes you different.”

But ever since the matter of Yunxuan was mentioned, Xia Bai'an not only never made jokes, nor did he lead others to think about the benefits as usual, but instead weighed the pros and cons, which was terrifyingly serious.

She no longer smiles and says funny words every day.

This is unusual.

Xia Bai'an felt chills at his fingertips, so he looked up at him.

"I'm just very tired recently. If you want to argue with me, I can't do it."

"It's changing the subject again."

Ao Pingchuan punctured her mercilessly, staring at her closely, "Yunxuan, is it true that she is no longer alive? You just need to answer me yes or no."

"..."

Xia Bai'an was silent for a while.

Ao Pingchuan almost knew the answer, and said again: "This matter has something to do with Mo Che, doesn't it?"

Xia Bai'an was still silent.

Ao Pingchuan felt pain in his chest, but he still closed his eyes.

"According to what you said just now, he can join the Evergreen Army after only going out for a period of time. Did he use Yunxuan's head as a stepping stone..."

"Stop talking."

Xia Bai'an finally couldn't help opening his mouth, let out a long breath, and stroked his forehead as if he had a headache, "All of this is just my guess, there is no way to prove it, and there is no way to distinguish it. So don't be suspicious here. Besides, I You obviously rescued Pan San, but you still concealed the existence of this person...Speaking of it, you and I are just accomplices."

This time it was Ao Pingchuan's turn to be silent.

As long as Pan San is handed over to the prime minister's office, the prime minister's office will naturally suspect Mo Che.

But he didn't do that either.

At this moment, the two faced the clear pond in front of them at the same time, but there seemed to be a deep pool of filthy stagnant water in their hearts.

The two of them more or less concealed this matter for Mo Che.

Xia Bai'an asked, "Why did you help Mo Che?"

Ao Pingchuan replied: "This is the entrustment of the adoptive father. The Lin family trusts Mo Che, so I naturally cannot stay out of it. If I and the Lin family are separated, the Lin family will really have nothing to rely on. But you, why do you want to help Mo Che?"

"He is my husband."

"A nameless husband, a husband who flirts outside and provokes everyone's lady?"

As Ao Pingchuan said, he was actually amused by his own description. He couldn't help but look at Xia Bai'an's expression. Seeing a trace of almost invisible pain flashing in her eyes, he continued, "You are sincere to him. He raises children, but he hides and guards everywhere. It's time for you to find a way out for yourself."

There is nothing wrong with what Ao Pingchuan said.

The two shared weal and woe, but in the end Mo Che still left himself out of the game and called her a bystander, but then covered her with a black cloth, so he couldn't see where he was, let alone where he was.

The unknown is always disturbing.

So she asked: "What? Master Ao wants to find a way out for me?"

"Why do you think my sister-in-law would keep Lin Miaomiao by your side instead of staying directly in Ao's mansion?" Ao Pingchuan asked her back, even took a step forward, crossed the pillar, and got close to Xia Bai'an, " That is your retreat, the retreat that was decided early on."

Xia Bai'an looked at Ao Pingchuan and opened his eyes slightly.

"But didn't I say at the beginning that I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to take care of Miao Miao..."

"Compared with you and Mo Che, am I busier?" Ao Pingchuan asked back, even leaning down and staring at her, "Although the Lin family believes in Mo Che, thank you for your kindness in saving the adoptive father back then. ...If one day you want to leave Mo Che, they will definitely find a place for you, and then, you can get out of this mess."

So, did Ao Pingchuan actually plan like this in the first place?

Shocked, Xia Bai'an looked at Ao Pingchuan's face close at hand, and always felt that he could read something from his eyes, but Xia Bai'an couldn't understand it, so he remained silent for a long time before speaking slowly.

"When Miao Miao came to the mansion, it was already before winter, why did you plan this matter for me so early?"

Ao Pingchuan opened his mouth, but seeing Xia Bai'an's slightly puzzled eyes, he couldn't open his mouth.

Xia Bai'an, after all, is Mo Che's wife.

Even if there is no reality of husband and wife, the two are justifiable husband and wife.

If he speaks out what he thinks in his heart, it will be against etiquette.

He looked away: "Take this as a secret between you and me."

Xia Bai'an was at a loss: "Of course I won't tell others about this, don't worry."

"I'm not..." Ao Pingchuan frowned, and said immediately, "Forget it, you and I are well aware of this matter. If there is anything that needs help in the future, you can come to me at any time. As for Yun Xuan Things……"

"Madam Captain."

Butler Xu came over from afar to call for someone.

Xia Bai'an quickly exchanged a look with Ao Pingchuan.

For the time being, the two of them don't have conclusive evidence that Mo Che killed Yun Xuan, and whether Yun Xuan died is still unclear, so the two of them would rather draw a conclusion and tell Yun Hanyi.

Neither of them was going to bring it up, at least until they figured it out.

Xia Bai'an followed Steward Xu, and returned to Yun Hanyi's house. Yun Hanyi and Qi Ming seemed to have discussed something, and Qi Ming bowed and left, saying that he was dispatching people, probably to find Yun Xuan's whereabouts and confirm his life and death.

Only Yun Hanyi, Xia Bai'an, and Steward Xu were left in the room.

Yun Hanyi spoke first: "You have a clear distinction between public and private affairs. Just now you yelled at the prime minister. Now that we meet in private, the matter of handling Chizhuang's murder has something to do with An Mei. An Mei is a friend of Lanhua. It is considered a private matter, so there is no need to call of life."

"it is good."

Xia Bai'an nodded, and followed Steward Xu's instructions, and sat on the side.

Only then did Yun Hanyi say: "I've heard from Qi Ming about Chizhuang's matter. Xia Yuan and Anmei are likely to be the culprits of Chizhuang's murder. I don't want such people to stay in the mansion, and I plan to deal with them as soon as possible."

"However, Master Qi Ming and I searched separately for a long time, but we couldn't find conclusive evidence, and we don't know why they quarreled at the beginning. If we want to bring them to justice, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Xia Bai'an replied.
