Chapter 125 - 125: Kissing Her Without Letting Go (1)
Although Bai Xianyu was accidentally involved in this matter and was targeted by their people, she also felt that it was better than not knowing anything and being at the mercy of others in the future. How many spies did that person have that have not surfaced yet? She only trusted Bai Jingyuan now.
Bai Jingyuan pondered for a long time. “I’ll investigate this matter carefully.”
“Yeah.”
After leaving Third Brother’s courtyard, Bai Xianyu looked at Bai Li, who was standing straight, and said, “Follow that fake Qi Heng now. Don’t expose your identity.”
Now, it seemed like they were in the dark while she was in the light.
In reality, she was the one in the dark while they were in the light.
She had already figured out their motives and what they wanted to do.
However, they did not know who was protecting Qi Heng in secret and who was obstructing their plan. They were like headless flies.
Bai Li nodded. “Yes.”
When Bai Li rushed to the inn where that person was staying again, he heard a shrill scream.
His heart skipped a beat as he carefully followed the voice.
The one who made the sound was a shop assistant. In front of him, the person who looked exactly like Qi Heng had already died in an abnormally tragic manner. Even his face was slashed.
Bai Li’s pupils constricted and he immediately left the scene.
Half an hour after he left, in a corner of the street not far away, a man knelt in front of the man wearing a half of a Qilin mask and said, “Young Master, he is already dead.”
The man with the Qilin mask asked, “Was it done neatly?”
“No one has discovered it. The cause of death should be determined as an enemy seeking revenge. We’ve already found a scapegoat.”
The man in the Qilin mask said, “That’s good.”
The kneeling person hesitated for a moment and said, “Then should I still need to do anything to that young lady of the Bai Family…”
The man with the Qilin mask pondered for a moment before saying, “There’s no need. 1 was being paranoid. She did stumble upon the sword intent by chance. How could she know our plan in such a short period of time? Withdraw all your men and don’t let Bai Jingyuan and the others notice anything.”
“Yes.”
After that person answered, The man with the Qilin mask smiled and said, “This ‘Qi Heng’ is ruthless. I had thought very highly of him, but she accidentally ruined it and forced me to abandon him. Ha…”
Bai Xianyu was making a brocade pouch in her courtyard when Bai Li returned.
His expression was serious. “Miss, that person is dead.”
Bai Xianyu’s needle tilted and pierced her fingertip. Bright red blood gushed out.
She frowned and compressed it. “Got it.”
It seemed like they already knew that someone was protecting him and they could not kill Qi Heng. That was why they killed the other “Qi Heng”.
This meant that they would not attack the real Qi Heng again.
“After today, go to the White Horse Post and get Qi Heng to head to Zhi Zou.”
“Yes, Miss.”
Bai Xianyu was not making a brocade pouch for Xie Xingyun, but for her Eldest Brother. There was good news from the border. Bai Tanshen had won consecutive battles and his spear was invincible. However, he had sent her a letter saying that her brocade pouch had been cut and he wanted a new one.
Green Pearl brought the snacks over. “Miss, the Eldest Princess is here again.”
Bai Xianyu put the items in her hand aside and sighed subtly. “What’s wrong now?”
“They say that the wound on Young Marquis’s hand has been infected by the wine and his fever has started again…”
Bai Xianyu felt helpless. Could this man be less worrying? However, this wound was also related to her.
“Miss, are you going?”
“Of course we have to go!” Eldest Princess Jing An rushed into Bai Xianyu’s courtyard and pulled her up from the chair. “All of you, back off!”
Green Pearl carefully glanced at Bai Xianyu. It was only when the latter looked at her that she bowed and silently left.
Bai Xianyu bowed. “Greetings, Your Highness.”
Eldest Princess Jing An nodded and said coldly, “I have also investigated the injury on Yun’er’s hand. It was Ji Shuang who slashed him, right?”
“Even if you don’t tell me, I have the means to find out. Before Father passed away, he left 8,000 personal guards for me in the capital.”
Bai Xianyu’s lips twitched.
“But don’t even think about escaping responsibility. I’ve already gotten someone to inform Ji Shuang’s grandfather, but this matter has also started because of you. It’s not too much for you to come with me to take care of Yun’er, right?”
Bai Xianyu thought of what Guo Ying had said a few days ago. Now that she heard Eldest Princess Jing An’s words, she felt that she had indeed lowered her pride.
At the Northern Garrison Marquis Manor.
When Bai Xianyu arrived, she realized that Xie Xingyun was not as serious as Eldest Princess Jing An had said..
