Thirty-seven I want to personally go down to the kitchen and cook for him
The courtyard of Bai Xin's residence
Bai Han came with the housekeeper.
The large courtyard was quiet and clean, with only the sound of a gentle breeze blowing, and no one was seen in the garden.
Well, there were only two people living here anyway.
Furrowing his brow, Bai Han lightly traversed the garden and headed straight for the main hall.
Still no one in sight.
He was about to order the butler to find someone, when a figure in black clothes walked in. Before he could speak, a pale and bloodless human hand suddenly flew to his feet.
Not just him, even the butler standing beside him was startled together with him.
"Who are you?!" Bai Han glared at him in anger. How could there be such an arrogant and impolite person?!
"You've seen the young master before." Blood Shadow threw away the person's hand, and with an expressionless face, she slightly bowed her fist to White Han as a greeting. However, when she lifted her head, she stared straight at White Han and asked in a cold voice, "White sir, what do you mean by this? Although our princess may not be liked or favored by you, you shouldn't bully people like this! In the prestigious University Scholars' residence, you're treating human flesh as food for someone with disabilities. Don't you think that's too much? The imperial edict has been issued, and even though they haven't gotten married yet, the princess is already a member of the Cheng Wang Fu. Can you put Cheng Wang Fu in your eyes with this behavior?"
One sentence can be said to be pressing and aggressive, but also can be said to be taking the initiative, even with a hint of bullying. Anyway, when Bai Han heard it, he thought so in his heart.
His face turned iron-blue, and all the questioning and doubting words he had originally wanted to say were suddenly left unspoken.
He suspected that the one called Blood Shadow was behind the astonishing case of the White Mansion. However, he had no evidence and it wasn't easy for him to report this baseless claim to the authorities. Moreover, he couldn't figure out what the other party's motive was.
Is it just a prank? Looking at the other person's temperament, it doesn't seem like someone who would play pranks. Even if she wanted to take revenge for that abandoned girl, in these past few days, the White Manor hasn't treated that abandoned girl unfairly, they've let Madame choose the best food and clothes to send over...
But if it wasn't her who did it, then which person in the Bai Manor has such a big nerve?!
Bai Han was speechless. He had come with 70-80% certainty that the matter was done by Xue Ying, but he never expected Xue Ying to not only throw him a terrifying human hand, but also severely question him, pushing all the blame onto him without leaving any evidence, and even turning the tables on him.
The housekeeper pulled his sleeve from behind him, and Bai Han slowly collected his annoyance.
"Miss Xueying, you can't blame me for this. Today, everyone in the White House found a dead body, and I was worried about my son, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect that your courtyard also had such a thing. Don't worry, I've already reported it to the authorities, and I believe they will soon investigate and get to the bottom of this, and also explain it to you and your servants." White Han said calmly and sincerely.
Only he knew that although this matter could be investigated, it couldn't be investigated. If it was indeed the doing of the woman in front of him, then he would be indirectly opposing the Cheng Wang Fu...
This master and servant duo, they really can't cope, can only hope that the wedding day will come soon, send these two away, and the White House will be completely peaceful!
Xue Ying didn't mince words: "Since it wasn't Lord Bai's orders, I'll trust Lord Bai this once. Please, Lord Bai, urge the Ministry to solve the case as soon as possible and find out who is behind this. That way, I can also report back to His Highness, Cheng Wang."
Bai Hanjing left with a belly full of pent-up anger.
After he left, Blood Shadow went to Bai Xintong's room.
"The princess, Bai Daren has been here." She reported truthfully.
Although she had been up all night, Bai Xin was wide awake, after all, she also knew that what they were doing wasn't a small matter. In the morning, she had Xue Ying hide in a hidden place to observe the situation of each courtyard.
"Did he say anything?" She raised an eyebrow and asked casually.
The blood shadow's expressionless face replied: "He just said he would let the government thoroughly investigate."
Bai Xin smiled upon hearing this.
If that old man really wants to investigate, he probably won't come himself, but will bring people with him. It seems that this matter is also settled! That old man still has some self-awareness...
It's just that this old man is easy to deal with, as long as he uses the Cheng Wang Fu as a shield, but that old thing -
"Xue Ying, for the next few days, be more careful. If it's something sent by Madame Bai, we can accept it, but if it's from someone else, it's best not to touch it."
"Blood Shadow unsolved: 'Princess, what's the difference?' Aren't they all things from the White Mansion?"
She let out a sigh, then began to speak with a serious expression: "That old thing wants to get rid of you and me, her intentions are already so obvious. Now that we haven't been eliminated, but instead have gained the upper hand, that old thing is not a kind person, how could she swallow this bitter pill? When she took action, she even kept it from her own son, which shows that she will absolutely not easily give up. Do you think she will let us off easily?" As the saying goes, "an arrow shot cannot be taken back", if that old thing has already set her mind on something and taken action, if it were that easy to turn back, then this world wouldn't have phrases like "reaping what one sows" or "regretting too late".
Xue Ying finally heard some clues and was somewhat surprised: "The princess is certain that they will poison the food?"
Bai Xin nodded: "When people do evil, it's nothing more than killing, arson, poisoning, and other such tricks. Since that old thing dared to send someone to kill us, he must have made up his mind. If that's the case, we can also guess their methods. Now that her plan to directly kill our hope has been foiled, she will naturally think of ways to take action from other aspects. Apart from poisoning, are there any other methods that can quickly and directly get rid of us?"
Moreover, this method of poisoning can not only directly take lives, but also make it impossible for others to detect, and even if pursued, the other party may have already thought of a countermeasure.
It can be said to be the most despicable, most direct, most vicious and most harmful means!
That old thing, with wealth and glory, doesn't enjoy it properly, but instead does some despicable things! It's really hateful!
Xue Ying nodded in agreement with Bai Xiner's words.
……
That evening, the steward in charge of ingredients at the White House distributed the ingredients for each courtyard on time for the next day.
Looking at the big carp in the wooden basin of the kitchen, Bai Xin's mouth hooked up a cold smile.
"Blood Shadow, have you ever wondered why this fish is dead?" The first two days they sent over live fish, but today suddenly a dead one arrived. And this dead fish was completely gray and white all over, it's clear that it didn't die normally.
That old thing is indeed a ruthless character, constantly making moves without stopping! Unfortunately, bringing a dead fish just to think it can poison them?
That old hag had better pray that she lives to be a hundred years old and becomes an immortal spirit, otherwise even if she dies, her grave will be dug up and her skull cracked open to see what kind of disgusting thing is inside that pig brain!
Xue Ying replied truthfully: "I asked, and the person in charge said that when they bought it back, they accidentally spilled water, causing all the fish to die of dehydration."
Bai Xin nodded and pointed to a corner: "Put it over there."
"Your Highness, would you like me to find a small silver needle to try?" Blood Shadow asked as he moved the wooden basin to the corner of the wall and looked up.
"No need." Bai Xincheng shook her head. With this little trick, relying on her experience, she could see it at a glance, no need to use the silver needle to test it.
"Your Highness, since these things can't be eaten, why don't we send them back to her?"
Bai Xin glared at her with a white eye, this silly girl! "Are you stupid? Do you think that just because you send someone back home, they'll eat?"
"What should we do next?" As he asked, a hint of cold light flashed in Heiying's eyes once again.
"I'm thinking." Bai Xincheng leaned on one arm and propped up his chin with the other hand.
The most important thing is what they will eat tomorrow?
Can't just not eat, can we?
If every day's food is tampered with by humans, won't they starve to death?
After thinking for half a day, she suddenly clapped her hands. Got it!
"Blood Shadow, go and bring your master over tomorrow. Tell him I'll personally cook for him."
A cold glint flashed across his eyes: "Princess, you wouldn't be trying to feed me these——"
"Not, not!" Seeing her misunderstanding, Bai Xincheng shook his head and interrupted her words, beckoning to her with a crooked finger, indicating for her to lean in closer, then whispered into her ear.
