Seeing him open his mouth in fear, Yun Zhihan continued with a smile, "Not only that, I also know that the mastermind behind this should be the Zhao family, and the Prince of Fenyang who you are loyally protecting."
She spoke the last three words in a very low voice, but Xie Songqiao could tell from her mouth shape.
"Okay, big brother, Liang'er will be back soon. Go with peace of mind. You won't have to wait too long. The old lady and Yuan will go down to the underground to accompany you."
After saying that, she got up and left.
When Aunt Xu saw her coming out, she saw her off all the way.
"Second Madam, thank you for everything you have done for me and my daughter. I have no way to repay you, but I hope to repay you in my next life."
"No need! Who knows what will happen in the future? What are your plans for the future?"
"I've been thinking about taking Bai Yan back to my hometown these days. Although I don't have many relatives there, it's still a place worth remembering."
Yun Zhihan nodded, feeling sad. She, a person who traveled through time, couldn't even find her ancestral home. She was even worse than Aunt Xu.
However, even in her previous life, she had no parents. The teachers at the welfare home said that her parents chose to abandon her because they favored boys over girls.
After being adopted several times, she didn't end up well in the end. Fortunately, she had grown up by then and could support herself, but who knew that she would have a heart attack.
Oh, how tragic it is!
"It's okay. It's good to have a place to go. If one day I want to come back, go to Yunsheng Restaurant to find Shuanghua. She will tell me."
"Thank you, Madam. I will never forget your kindness."
"Okay, no need to say these polite words, just go back quickly, Bai Liang will be back soon."
"Yes! I'll take my leave."
Aunt Xu returned to Xie Songqiao's room, and soon Bai Liang came back.
"Auntie, how is my father?"
"I'm afraid he won't make it through the day. You should go in and take a look." As she spoke, tears began to fall.
Bai Liang rushed into the room and was hit by a foul smell. He saw his father lying on the couch as if he was dead.
He knelt down in front of the bed and cried, "Father, I am an unfilial son and I am back late."
"Father!"
Xie Songqiao vaguely heard Liang'er's cry, but he could no longer open his eyes.
Yun Zhihan, that vicious woman, refused to let him go even before her death and even instigated Aunt Xu to force him to sign the divorce agreement. He really underestimated this bitch.
Forget it, he has no strength left. He will wait until he turns into a ghost and then deal with this woman.
Xie Songqiao died completely amid his son's screams.
Seeing that he had no reaction, his face turned pale, and his body gradually cooled down, Bai Liang felt his breath and couldn't help crying loudly.
"Father! Have a safe journey. I will honor you in my next life."
Half an hour later, the entire mansion knew the news of Xie Songqiao's death.
But he was just a bastard's son and had no official position that could bring honor to his family, so he could only be buried with an ordinary funeral.
As wife and son, Yuan and Bai Liang had to observe mourning for three years according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
During these three years, the Marquis' Mansion is not allowed to hold any weddings or happy events, and the people in the Mansion are also required to wear mainly plain clothes.
But this only applies to Xie Songqiao's family. For Yun Zhihan's family, they just need to be quiet for a year.
The old lady was heartbroken when she heard the news. Of course, what saddened her was not the death of her illegitimate son, but the fact that no one could control Yun Zhihan, and she was now lawless.
Seeing her so distressed, Madam Liang comforted her, "Old Madam, don't be too sad. Although the eldest master is gone, the eldest young master has achieved success and fame. He will definitely respect you well."
Old Madam Xie shook her head, knowing very well that this was impossible. The child had been of the same mind as his mother since childhood.
Now even Bai Liang has been bribed by her, how can this be tolerated?
Suddenly, she thought of Bai Liang. If he knew that Song Qiao died at the hands of a wild man, would he hate Yun Zhihan?
In this way, she will have someone to rely on. After all, she is an elder in the Marquis' Mansion. Who would go against her?
Thinking of this, she held the nanny's hand tightly, "Bai Liang, Bai Liang."
"What does the old lady mean? Do you want me to go and call Master Bai Liang?"
She nodded, and Nanny Liang asked someone to take care of the old lady and left alone.
The system informed Yun Zhihan of the news.
"Hanhan, this old lady is so selfish. She actually wants to alienate Bai Liang from you for her own benefit. Does she want to kill him?"
"It is time to start. Bai Liang has gone to arrange the coffin and burial. I am afraid he will not be back for two days. Now is a good time."
Yun Zhihan sent Jin to call Bai Yuan over.
After a while, they came into the house.
"Mother, why are you calling your son so anxious?"
Yun Zhihan asked General Jinshang and everyone else to leave, as he had something to discuss with the eldest young master.
"Yuan'er, I'm afraid your grandmother won't be able to hold on for much longer, and your uncle is gone too."
"The kid knows."
"But the head of the Xie family has not yet been appointed. If the old lady suddenly passes away one day, this matter will become even more complicated."
Bai Yuan understood what his mother meant, so he asked, "Mom, I think this matter should be discussed with grandma sooner rather than later. Otherwise, it will delay important matters and we will be ridiculed by the family."
"Yuan'er is right. This is what mother is worried about. Pick a day and we will discuss this with the old lady. We must come up with a conclusion."
"Mom, today is worse than tomorrow, why don't we go there right away?"
"Okay, get ready. We'll go together at 3:30 pm."
"Yes, son, I'll take my leave first."
"Hanhan, I didn't expect Bai Yuan to be so straightforward? Tongzi has always believed that he is a person who doesn't fight or compete."
"Yuan'er has already become an official appointed by the imperial court. He will understand in the future that if something is his, he cannot give it up. If it is not his, it is useless to snatch it."
"A gentleman just follows the flow of things. Many things are beyond his control."
……
Not yet.
Xie Baiyuan was already waiting for Yun Zhihan at the gate of the courtyard.
"Yuan'er, let's go."
"Okay, mother, I see my third brother is practicing martial arts with Uncle Hong, do you agree with this?"
"Well, Bo Chen doesn't want to be a scholar. If he can become a brave and skilled general in the future, the Marquis may be relieved."
"Yes, my third brother is very talented in martial arts, but..." Mother never liked him before.
Of course, Xie Baiyuan didn't dare say this in front of his mother.
"It was my fault before, but it won't happen again in the future." She will treat her three children equally.
"This is natural. Mom has been trying to change, and her son has seen it all."
The two men came to the old lady's room. When the little maid saw them coming, she hurried in to report.
However, she was too slow, and Yun Zhihan followed her in.
Nanny Liang originally thought that the second lady came to take care of the old lady, but who would have thought that she actually brought the eldest young master.
