Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

Kong Man has begun to doubt Su Bai.

Fortunately, the note was not written too clearly. If the content of the note was as long-winded as Liu Yiyan's mouth, and it said something like how well the second young lady was behaved in his place, what she ate, what she did, and how he made this little girl so obedient, then the whole thing would be exposed.

Kong Man handed the note to Su Bai: "What is this? Is it written to you, sister-in-law? I don't understand it. Can you read it to me?"

"You've already read it, do you still need me to read it?" Su Bai deliberately avoided Kong Man's questioning and looked at her injury: "It's okay, just a little scrape. Zi Yan will bring the white medicine back and apply it on you. You'll be fine tomorrow."

The white medicine in the house had been used up when they saved Liu Yiyan last time. When Kong Man's maid screamed that the young lady was bleeding, Zi Yan had already run to the front yard to find Guo Deyi to get the white medicine.

"Who wrote this note? You have to tell me, right?" Kong Man asked again. Su Bai could see from her face that there was no kindness at all.

Su Bai unfolded the note in his hand and took a look: "I don't understand what this means either."

"What was thrown into this yard was for you, wasn't it for me?" Kong Man's tone became even tougher.

At this moment, Guo Deyi came to the backyard in person. Although he was lame, he ran faster than Zi Yan.

Kong Man snatched the note from Su Bai's hand and held it in his hand.

This action made Su Bai confused. Was she afraid that Guo Deyi would know the note?

Guo Deyi ran to the young lady and looked at the wound: "It's not serious, young lady, just use some white medicine, and it won't hurt tomorrow!"

Zi Yan and Kong Man's maid applied white medicine to her together.

When Guo Deyi learned that a stone thrown in from outside the mansion hit the eldest lady, he told Su Bai the good news that such a thing would not happen again in a few days. As soon as Captain Gao Hu took over the guard of the Kong Mansion, he would set up a guard outside the back door in the future.

Is this good news?

Su Bai couldn't laugh or cry.

After Guo Deyi left the white medicine he brought to Su Bai, he returned to the front yard. Kong Man walked into Su Bai's main room without saying a word, and Su Bai had no choice but to follow her into the house.

"All of you get out!" The eldest lady pointed at Zi Yan and her maid and kicked them out.

Kong Man looked at Su Bai, slammed the note on the table, and asked sternly: "Tell me, do you have someone outside?"

Su Bai had already thought that Kong Man was suspicious in this direction. Fortunately, Liu Yimei did not reveal in the note that Su Bai and he were conspiring to kidnap the second young lady. He only made Kong Man suspect that the eldest sister-in-law was unfaithful to her dead eldest brother.

In this feudal era, especially in a large mansion like the Confucius Mansion, if the wife had an affair just two months after the husband's death, it would be considered infidelity.

Although Su Bai thought of this, she really couldn't find a suitable excuse to explain it. She could only play dirty and refuse to admit it.

Kong Man would definitely not believe it, but there was nothing we could do about it.

It is better to let her know that I am an unfaithful woman than to tell her the truth that the second young lady was kidnapped.

"I don't know why this note was thrown into my yard. I have not had any contact with outsiders since I entered the Confucius Mansion. If there are any, they are only Captain Zhou of the Guard Battalion, Captain Bai and the deceased Doctor Jiang. You know this."

"I don't know!" Kong Man slapped the note fiercely again: "If you go in and out through this back door, who can see you?"

For some reason, Su Bai suddenly wanted to laugh.

Although Kong Man showed her greatest anger in front of him, in Su Bai's opinion, her anger was not scary at all, but a little funny.

But Su Bai didn't dare to laugh, for fear of making Kong Man even more angry.

"Stop making noise, stop making noise!" Zi Yan rushed in from outside the door.

Although she was kicked out by the eldest lady, she had been eavesdropping on the crack of the door. Her ears were sharp enough to hear the entire conversation between the two.

Zi Yan used her cleverness again, but this time, her cleverness was not used in the right place.

"This note was thrown to me, and the eldest young lady didn't know about it!"

Zi Yan said that she had a lover outside, and it was this lover who threw the note to her. This was not the first time.

He was willing to use his own reputation to protect Su Bai, which touched Su Bai very much.

But Kong Man didn't buy it. She asked a question that completely broke the ice: "It was thrown to you? Can you read? Do you want the eldest young lady to read to you the secrets between you and your lover?"

In desperation, Su Bai had to take the offensive as defense and told Kong Man that he regarded her as the closest relative in the Kong Mansion and she should not doubt her sister-in-law's character, let alone question her in that tone.

"You already have someone else outside, and you still have the nerve to call me sister-in-law?" After Kong Man said this, she turned around angrily and pushed Zi Yan, who was standing behind her and blocking her way, and made her stagger.

Just as she was about to leave, she stopped, slowly turned around, and pointed under the table next to Su Bai: "What is that?"

Su Bai was shocked. In the morning, after he and Zi Yan pried open the jewelry box they had found in the Second Wife's room and took out the contract, they kicked the box under the table and forgot to put it away.

Before Su Bai could answer, Kong Man started to ask again: "How did the Second Aunt's box end up in your room?"

"This is the eldest young lady's box!" Zi Yan said quickly: "There are many things that look the same in the world. How can the eldest young lady say that this is the second wife's? I used to serve the second wife and have never seen such a box!"

"Pa!" With a sound, Kong Man slapped Zi Yan hard on the face: "How dare you, you lowly slave, lie to me?"

Kong Man recognized the box with several spots of paint peeling off, and its features were very obvious.

This was taken out from under her mother's bed by the second lady Kong Yun and shown to her when she just moved into the east backyard a few days ago.

Kong Yun thought that the locked box might contain something relatively valuable or jewelry that his mother particularly liked, so he asked his sister if she wanted to open it.

Kong Man felt that it was not appropriate to open it now, and advised her to wait until the second wife's cenotaph was built and officially buried.

Besides, this happened only a few days ago.

So, she was particularly impressed by this box.

Having said that, Su Bai had nothing to say.

"What treasure is in the box that is worth stealing?" Kong Man had already fully understood at this time that Su Bai asked her to buy materials and customize a dressing table according to the decoration style of her room in order to get her away and then steal.

"I stole?"

"Why, you still don't admit it?" Kong Man brought the topic to the second young lady: "I know why you are not anxious about Yunyun's matter. If she comes back and asks you for this box and the things in the box, you won't be able to explain it, right?"

"It's not like that, listen to me!" Su Bai stood up and wanted to explain, but found that he couldn't explain it clearly.

Kong Man left angrily, leaving behind a sentence: Don't think that she can do whatever she wants just because she is the head of the Kong family, just wait and see.
