Chapter 298: Darkness (3)
When Jun Mubei walked to the door, his body froze, and he took a deep breath: His lord has a lot, and he doesn't have the same knowledge as this pair of thieves and his wife!
Tang Shishi let out an "oh" as if suddenly enlightened, with a cadenced voice and a long aftertaste.
The sound of Jun Mubei's teeth grinding sounded in the corridor, creaking like a rusty hacksaw sawing wood.
"I thought it was the second brother who wanted to eat geoduck!" Tang Shishi said suddenly when she walked to the stairs.
"Tang Shishi!" Jun Mubei finally couldn't take it anymore, turned his head and roared at Tang Shishi.
"What are you doing? Bullying girl Shishi again early in the morning!" As soon as Jun Mubei's words fell, Mr. Jun pushed the door and came out, yelling at Jun Mubei, and the grandfather and grandson were blowing their beards and staring in the corridor. .
"Grandpa! It's obvious that she is bullying too much!" Jun Mubei complained to Mr. Jun in dissatisfaction.
"You are an old man, and you don't know how to let women order. You have nothing to do all day to find Shishi to argue with. I think you are too idle! It's time to find a woman to take care of you!" Mr. Jun ignored Jun Mubei's grievances , criticized.
"Grandpa! Where am I idle? I've been busy all night!" Jun Mubei was full of resentment.
"Why didn't I see it?!" Mr. Jun stared and said.
"..." Jun Mubei felt that he couldn't reason with this group of people at all, so he went back to his room angrily, and slammed the door hard!
Facing the closed door of Jun Mubei's room, Tang Shishi stuck out her tongue playfully, and then quietly made a "V" in her heart!
In this game, she won!
Looking at Tang Shishi's small face, Mr. Jun couldn't help laughing and cursing: "You girl! You two bully one of you, and you won't win!" In fact, Mr. Jun had already listened to the conversation of these three people. .
"It's not that he is not allowed to find helpers!" Ling Rui said lightly.
"That's right!" Tang Shishi smiled, took Grandpa Jun's arm in a fawning manner, deliberately loudly said to Jun Mubei's room, "Grandpa, we hope that the second brother can find a good helper!"
"This Bei kid really needs to find a good helper, and you won't take off my roof by then!" Mr. Jun imagined the noisy scene of these people, and he was very happy in his heart. He likes these children Don't worry about it, otherwise the house will be too quiet, no one is angry!
"Hey!" Tang Shishi and Ling Rui followed Mr. Jun and laughed unkindly.
Tang Shishi went to Jinfen after breakfast to start a day's training, while Ling Rui went to the army as usual. The people in Jun's compound were busy with their own things as usual, and they couldn't see any difference. No one who saw such a Jun family would have imagined that just overnight, the political situation of Huaxia Kingdom had undergone tremendous changes because of this seemingly ordinary but actually extraordinary Jun family.
Tang Shishi didn't know about Zhao Zhenhui's murder until a few days later, when she went to attend Mrs. Bai's funeral.
Mrs. Bai's funeral was held in a simple and solemn manner. There were quite a few people attending the funeral. Almost all the upper-class people in city b were present, and there were also quite a few political and business celebrities from city a, which naturally included the Bai family in city a. people.
Tang Shishi and Ling Rui arrived at the funeral after Mr. Jun and the others. Ling Rui's troops had something to do and were delayed for a while, so they came a little late.
When Tang Shishi and Ling Rui came in wearing little black dresses, they felt many curious and unfamiliar eyes around them. Some even pointed at her, which was very unfriendly. Tang Shishi felt baffled. Looking at her Those few obviously had hostile gazes, and they felt a little upset, but, this was the funeral of Mrs. Bai, and out of respect for the dead, she could only turn a blind eye to those people who were mentally disturbed.
"This is Tang Shishi! I didn't expect it to be a charming portrait!" A critical voice said.
"Isn't there something wrong, or you could hook the soul of Jun's family?" A jealous voice said.
"I heard that Zhao Zhenhui was killed by the Jun family just because he offended her!" A terrified voice said.
"Trouble!" the voice of judgement.
Zhao Zhenhui is dead?Tang Shishi heard the discussions of those women, and looked at Ling Rui with questioning eyes.
Ling Rui nodded, then cast a cold sideways glance at the women, who were so frightened that they immediately silenced.
This man's eyes are so murderous!
Tang Shishi tugged Ling Rui's sleeve secretly, and asked in a low voice, "You did it?"
"No." Ling Rui's low voice rang in Tang Shishi's ear.
Tang Shishi's heart settled down.She didn't want Ling Rui's hands to be stained with blood for her.
The Bai family watched from a distance as Tang Shishi and Ling Rui came in, talking in a low voice. They were golden boys and jade girls, intimate and not overstepping the rules, making people feel comfortable watching them.
"Grandpa Bai, the dead cannot be brought back to life. You are mourning, take care of your body, and don't let the living feel sad." Tang Shishi respectfully bowed three times to Mrs. Bai's memorial tablet, and put a stick on it. After the fragrance, said.
As soon as Tang Shishi entered the mourning hall, she saw Sun Xiaofen kneeling on the ground with a dazed expression. It was just a few days since she hadn't seen her. She was already haggard and out of shape. Her body, which was not plump, was so thin that it could be blown away by a gust of wind. , the originally smooth skin is also quite rough, the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes are much deeper, the eyes are red and swollen, and the bags under the eyes are heavy. It can be seen that she has not rested well in the past few days, and has been in extreme grief and self-blame. Sun Xiaofen like this, let Tang Shishi couldn't help feeling uncomfortable after reading it.
Sometimes, it is the living who suffer the most. Although Sun Xiaofen had good intentions and exchanged the black tea for Mrs. Bai, Mrs. Bai was poisoned to death because of that cup of black tea. How could she not blame herself and feel guilty?
Hearing Tang Shishi's voice, Sun Xiaofen rolled her eyes a little slowly, glanced at the little black dress, dressed in elegant and solemn Tang Shishi, and then lowered her head again.
"Hypocritical!" Bai Mo knelt beside Sun Xiaofen, and said with disdain when she heard Tang Shishi's words.
Sun Xiaofen glanced at Bai Mo coldly, and narrowed her red and swollen eyes.
Under Sun Xiaofen's icy gaze, Bai Mo flinched and turned her face away guiltily.
Bai Hexuan knelt opposite to Bai Mo, and when he heard Bai Mo's words, he gave Bai Mo an angry look, and looked at Tang Shishi with gratitude and guilt.
"Girl Shishi, boy Rui, you are here!" Mr. Bai is also in a very bad condition today, but it is much better than the day Mrs. Bai passed away.
"Grandpa Bai, my condolences!" Ling Rui said lightly, his voice not as indifferent as before.
Old Master Bai nodded, looking at Ling Rui with complicated eyes, as if he had a lot of words on his tongue, but because there were so many people around him, he had to press them back.
Ling Rui nodded slightly towards Mr. Bai, and then he and Tang Shishi offered incense to Mrs. Bai, and finally the funeral attendants took her to the tea room.
The team attending the funeral was mighty, Tang Shishi inadvertently saw Bai Mo mingling with those women who love to gossip, as proud as a peacock, and those women spoke ill of her behind their backs and were full of enthusiasm for her. The hostile women flattered and flattered Bai Mo one by one, and the corners of Tang Shishi's mouth curled up in a mocking arc to Bai Mo.
"Those women are members of the Bai family. They came from City A. They are usually very close to Bai Mo." Bai Hexuan appeared next to Tang Shishi at some point, looked at those women, and said with disdain.
Tang Shishi glanced at Bai Hexuan in surprise, and sighed in her heart, she didn't see how close those women were to Bai Mo, it was just a matter of face, and what they flattered was Bai Mo's identity as the eldest lady of the Bai family What matters is that Bai Mo is deeply loved by the Bai family. If one day, Bai Mo is not favored, then these people must have another face.
At this moment, Bai Mo was surrounded by several girls from the side branches of the Bai family. Listening to the flattering words from their mouths, Bai Mo's depressed mood these days finally improved, and her face eased.
In the past few days, because of Mrs. Bai's death, Bai Mo's status in the Bai family has plummeted. Others can't see it, but Bai Mo feels it sensitively. Words such as "no" and "no" were opened and shut, causing Bai Mo's resentment to rise sharply, especially Bai Hexuan, who has always been ignored by the Bai family, has frequently appeared in the public's sight these days, and everything comes out. He won a lot of favor from the Bai family and stole a lot of favors that belonged to Bai Mo, which made Bai Mo's teeth itch with hatred.
Just when Bai Mo finally regained a bit of the glory that belonged to the eldest lady of the Bai family, a discordant voice sounded in her ear: "Sister Bai, hello, I'm Xu Manlin, I have something to tell you. "
"Xu Manlin? That Xu Manlin? I don't know you!" Bai Mo looked at the woman in front of her contemptuously, and her eyes, like X-rays, scanned Xu Manlin's outfit. The disdain in her eyes deepened. The clothes this woman wore From inside to outside, including bags and accessories, they are not worth as much as a pair of her underwear. She doesn't know such a poor woman.
"You probably want to come here to admire the beauty of Miss Bai's family?" A woman next to Bai Mo joked, her eyes did not hide her mockery at all.
"Such a broken household is not worthy of carrying Miss Bai's shoes!" Another woman said bitterly.
People around burst into laughter.
Bai Hexuan looked at the group of people who wanted to make fun of regardless of the occasion, clenched his fists angrily, and said angrily: "These people don't know what to say!"
Ling Rui glanced at Bai Hexuan, but said nothing.
On the contrary, Bai Hexuan realized the judgment and scrutiny in Ling Rui's eyes, and his face turned red.
A few days ago, grandpa told his parents to let him walk more with the Jun family and build a good relationship with Tang Shishi. Although he felt a little uncomfortable with this purposeful approach, he still nodded obediently. Although no grandfather or father can see through the distance, he also knows that the situation facing the Bai family is very serious at this time. As a member of the Bai family, he has no right to act recklessly.
Fortunately, he already had a good impression of Tang Shishi, and he also had a common topic, and he intended to have a deep friendship, but if he was asked to build a good relationship with the Jun family and Tang Shishi, he really didn't know what to do, he only knew that he was very good. Willing to chat with Tang Shishi.
"Things of a feather flock together and people are divided into groups. This is beyond our control." Tang Shishi looked at the angry Bai Hexuan and said.
"En." Under Ling Rui's sharp gaze, Bai Hexuan was very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Tang Shishi came to his rescue. He looked at Tang Shishi gratefully and nodded in response.
"I'm Dr. Bai Xiaolan's daughter." Xu Manlin said as she bit her lip and looked at Bai Mo, her face turned red from being ridiculed by those women.
The smile on the corner of Bai Mo's mouth suddenly turned cold. She looked at Xu Manlin, and vaguely remembered that Bai Xiaolan did have such a daughter, and that she saved her life in the bar that day, and saved her from being raped by a few hooligans. insult.
"What do you want from me?" Bai Mo asked, looking at Xu Manlin with eyes like ice swords.
Seeing that Bai Mo seemed to have finally remembered herself, Xu Manlin became excited, and looked at Bai Mo with hopeful eyes, but when she saw Bai Mo's cold gaze like a sword, she was at a loss again, She faintly felt some uneasiness in her heart, maybe she shouldn't appear in front of Bai Mo so recklessly, maybe she made a mistake in coming this time, but if she didn't come, she would never be reconciled in her life!
"Can I have a few words with you alone?" Xu Manlin flinched, with a look of hesitation flashing across her face, but she soon mustered up her courage again, and asked Bai Mo in a low voice, with a look of begging in her eyes.
"Joke! Who do you think you are? Do you want the eldest lady of the Bai family to talk to you alone?" The woman next to Bai Mo looked at Xu Manlin dissatisfied, and accused her.
"I—" Xu Manlin looked at Bai Mo stubbornly and stubbornly with tears in her eyes.
"Go over there." Bai Mo cast a displeased glance at the woman who accused Xu Manlin, and casually pointed to the place where there were few people.
The woman who flattered and slapped the horse's shoe was heartbroken by Bai Mo's gaze. She lowered her head slightly, bit her lips tightly, and a stream of light flashed in her eyes.
When Xu Manlin heard Bai Mo's agreement, she happily followed Bai Mo to the place where there were few people. She looked like a servant beside Bai Mo.
Xu Manlin also came to Bai Mo when she had no other choice. Ever since Bai Mo rescued her in the bar last time, she had been secretly paying attention to Bai Mo. Once, she overheard her mother talking on the phone, and heard her say that Bai Mo It was her elder sister. She was completely stunned. Later, under her own repeated questioning and threats, her mother saw that she couldn't hide it after all, so she told her about Bai Mo and repeatedly asked her to swear not to tell her about it. To tell the truth about this matter, and even her father couldn't tell it, she swore a poisonous oath.
