Chapter 48 Meeting Bai Haoyuan

I touched Nannan's little snake head and said, "Nannan, why don't you want to turn into a little baby?"

The answer I got was silence. Nannan didn't pay any attention to me. The answer I got was the sound of footsteps behind me.

Who is it at this moment? I turned around and saw the face I least wanted to see, it was Bai Haoyuan.

I stood up in shock, ready to call for someone to come and take Bai Haoyuan away.

"I came in with Bai Yunhe."

This sentence gave me chills. Doesn't it mean that he is a guest?

Now when I saw him again, he had changed into an elegant suit, with a silver hairpin on his head, which made him look so noble, as if the person wearing the coarse cloth before was a different person.

I saluted and said, "Mr. Bai, are you lost? I will bring someone to show you the way."

"Le Le, I..." Bai Haoyuan wanted to come forward to support me.

I stepped back instinctively, "Mr. Bai, please respect yourself."

Before Bai Haoyuan could say anything next, I saw Bai Yunhe coming.

"Hao Yuan, what are you doing here? Didn't you say you were going to look after your sister?"

Bai Haoyuan and I were silent, and I felt four burning gazes below my head.

"Mr. Bai, I'm lost. I'm just about to call someone to take you to Miss Bai's room."

This light was so uncomfortable that I was the first to break the silence.

"Oh~ I know the way. Haoyuan, come with me. I've been to the Shen Mansion several times, so I'm quite familiar with the way."

Bai Haoyuan didn't say anything. He just looked at me for a long time and followed Bai Yunhe away. I watched the two of them walk away until they disappeared from my sight and I breathed a sigh of relief.

I was so angry that I went straight to Nannan to argue, "Damn it, you knew he was coming, why didn't you remind me? It was so embarrassing just now, if I had known I would have hidden myself."

"I, I, didn't I remind you?"

Nannan looked aggrieved, "Aren't you talking about that word fate?"

Nannan nodded, "I, do you know a word called formalin?"

"what?"

"To soak the corpse." As soon as I finished speaking, Nannan disappeared.

I took out the scalpel and said, "If you have the guts, don't come out. Be careful or I'll soak this scalpel in formalin. Humph."

I put the knife away angrily. Bai Haoyuan is here, why should I go? I'd better stay away.

So what should I do now? "Look for Zi Fu."

As I said that, I opened the door and saw Zi Fu sitting there alone drinking tea.

"What's wrong, Zi Fu, collapsed?"

Zi Fu was not surprised to see me. "No, the method is very useful, but."

"But, what's wrong?"

I didn't quite understand what that meant. "I heard from the servants that Bai Yiren's illness suddenly became serious? Is that the reason?"

"Yes, and Bai Yiren's illness is very strange. It didn't come on suddenly. It seems to have always been there and it flares up frequently."

"Hmm, has she been ill since she was a child? Was she drugged?"

Even a fool would find it strange that a healthy person would suffer from a poison attack every once in a while.

"So what do you think?" This was mainly Zi Fu's thoughts. After all, it was someone else's business, and no one was so sympathetic.

"It depends on what my husband thinks." It seemed so. She was crying and begging to marry Shen Jing.

"Zi Fu, don't be unhappy. Let's go for a stroll on the street to relax."

"Okay." Zi Fu was extremely excited to hear this. Since getting married, Zi Fu has never left the house once.

"No, Mammy said we can't go out on the way."

"Oh, who would recognize you if you were wearing a veil, right?"

I took out the veil from behind, and Zi Fu's eyes suddenly became mysterious, looking back and forth behind me.

"You brought the veil."

"I prepared it in advance. I originally planned to take you out for some fresh air." I spoke righteously to convince Zi Fu.

I took Zi Fu out of the house and when we were almost at the door, I heard the sound of a carriage. I pulled Zi Fu to hide in the bushes, but the nanny saw us and started nagging us again.

"Who is coming at this time? I should go out and receive the guests." Zi Fu had been educated by the nanny about this kind of thing. It was the job of being the mistress of the house.

"Oh, what kind of guests are you receiving? If it was a guest, the servants would have informed us long ago. It must be someone leaving the house."

I wanted to give Zi Fu a slap in the face, but then I thought better of it.

"They left the house, so they should be members of the Bai family." Zi Fu's words made me shudder. Am I so unlucky that I stepped on dog shit when I went out? This is more uncomfortable than stepping on dog shit.

Sure enough, not long after Zi Fu finished speaking, the two brothers of the Bai family came out together, "Oh my god, I'm so unlucky."

"What bad luck." My heart skipped a beat, thinking he was such a bad talker.

"We sneaked out to play and ran into the two brothers from the Bai family. Isn't that bad luck?"

"It seems so." This excuse successfully convinced Zi Fu. I watched the carriage go far away before I took Zi Fu out.

You say this person is unlucky, and he will always be unlucky. When we went out, we saw Bai Haoyuan standing at the door, watching Bai Yunhe leave.

He was standing aside just now, completely blocking his view and he didn't see it.

"Madam Li, are you going out?" Before we could say anything, Bai Haoyuan spoke first and bowed.

"Mr. Bai, a new batch of fabrics has arrived in Nancheng. My young lady and I will go take a look."

This person did it on purpose. If I wasn't afraid that it would look weird to wear a veil in the mansion, I would have put it on Zi Fu.

"Oh, you mean the new one in the south of the city? I'm familiar with the owner. Madam likes that. I'll have someone send it over."

I glared at Bai Haoyuan. This guy was going too far. "No need to bother, Mr. Bai."

Bai Haoyuan was smart enough not to argue any further and just left, not knowing where he went.

"Lele, how do you know there's a new store in the south of the city?"

"Hongdou told me. She said the fabric samples there are very special."

I put a veil on Zi Fu, and then I put one on too. Speaking of the south of the city, let's go for a stroll there.

Zi Fu hadn't been out for a long time, and hadn't been around Kunnu City much. I was so happy that I strolled around until dusk, and then I took the reluctant Zi Fu back to the Shen Mansion.

"Okay, I'll bring you here next time. It's already evening, so we need to go back quickly."

Zi Fu kept looking back every few steps. I felt a little sorry for her expression, but there was nothing I could do. If Zi Fu didn't go back, the nanny would really tell Zhiyi's father.

We sneaked back to the Shen Mansion. I sent the people at the door away in advance and took Zi Fu back to her room. Before I entered the room, I heard someone talking inside.

"It's my husband." Zi Fu was extremely sensitive to her husband's voice and recognized it immediately.

Shen Jing should be waiting for Zi Fu, so it’s not appropriate for me to go in now. I just knocked on the door politely.
