Chapter 361 A strange combination of circumstances
The next evening.
Bo Song pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Grandfather, why haven't you seen the butler all day?"
Bai Yishui paused for a moment and said, "Oh, my heart disease has recurred recently. The old doctor who treated me before went to Haicheng, so Bai Shan went to see him in person."
"Let Xundi arrange someone capable to go. You will definitely feel uncomfortable without him to serve you." Bai Song said.
Bai Yishui sighed: "Yeah, it's a bit strange. Fortunately, I have a car, so it won't take long."
Bai Song said, "I will be returning to Yuncheng in the next two days. You can leave it to him to find my brother!"
Bai Yishui frowned and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to join him in making trouble?"
Bai Song grinned, "Because he's the head of the family! Grandfather, you taught me that everything is for the Bai family and that I must obey the arrangements of the head of the family. Before, when you were the head of the family, I listened to you. Now that Xundi is the head of the family, I listen to him."
Bai Yishui was furious: "Stop playing tricks on me!"
Bo Song raised his eyebrows. "My grandson is telling the truth! Even my grandfather couldn't defeat him, so how could I? Could it be that you really want to see me go against him?"
"Of course not!"
Bai Yishui put down the cup with a serious expression.
"That's good. Xundi wants me to stop the opium business." Bai Song said.
Bai Yishui looked at him in surprise: "No! Our Bai family no longer has an underground fairy palace! If we run out of opium, forget about prosperity! I've already made this clear to Xun'er, just do it!"
Bo Song said, "I understand. However, Ge Longjiang has been targeted by the Sheng family because of the incident involving the second master of the Sheng family. It's been very difficult for him to start a new business in Yangcheng. I might have to go to Yangcheng myself."
Bai Yishui frowned slightly: "You have to be careful! Don't expose yourself! My Bai family is a family of scholars and upright people. We must not let outsiders know that we are related to opium."
Bo Song curled his lips.
Grandfather, it turns out that you still value face the most!
Well, the scariest people are those who don't care about anything.
Even if you want to catch him, you don't know where to start.
My grandfather couldn't pass away as simply as my grandmother did.
He has to...get what he wants!
You have to see with your own eyes how famous the Bai family is, and hear with your own ears how everyone is talking about the Bai family.
Otherwise, how can I be worthy of the Bai family’s patience over the years?
"Grandfather, don't stay in Baijiazhai all the time. When I go to Yangcheng later, you can come to Yangcheng too!" Bai Song said with a smile.
"I'm not in good health and don't want to bother with anything." Bai Yishui said.
"Don't you really want to go and take a look at the grand ceremony of the Sheng family's division?" Bai Song said.
"The Sheng family split up?"
Bai Yishui really didn't know about this.
Bai Song smiled and said, "Yes, now that the Sheng family is torn apart, our Bai family will be the only one that stands out in Yangcheng. Don't you really want to go and see the grand occasion?"
Bai Yishui was moved.
He was reluctant to go to Yangcheng, largely because the Bai family was nothing in Yangcheng before.
Now the Sheng family is on the verge of collapse, while the Bai family is at its peak.
He, Bai Yishui, can now stand up straight in Yangcheng!
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Yangcheng Xiyan Tower.
Sheng Yu'an received news from Bai Xun.
"Nanchun, there was a letter from He'an County saying that Madam Bai passed away." Sheng Yu'an said.
Nanchun was slightly startled.
Is Mrs. Bai dead?
The sarcastic old lady didn't get what she wanted after all.
Until her death, I was still the legal wife of her beloved grandson.
It's quite ironic.
Seeing the bitter smile on Nanchun's face, Sheng Yu'an said, "I heard from Lingyun and Jindou that since you entered the Bai family, this old lady Bai has been tormenting you a lot."
Nanchun said calmly, "I was thinking... It's a good thing I didn't go back with Baixun. Otherwise, if she died suddenly, outsiders would think I was the one who pissed her off to death. That would be so unfair to me."
This old lady Bai always talked about her social status when she was alive, just like the old master, she wanted to save face. But in the end, nothing she wanted was achieved!
All the members of her natal family, the Xu family, were dead, her husband's son and daughter-in-law were gone, and she didn't have two grandchildren either.
It's really sad to have been scheming for a lifetime!
"By the way, Bai Xun has already found out. There was indeed a traitor around the third brother back then, but strictly speaking, he was not a traitor." Sheng Yu'an said.
Shopkeeper Shi frowned. He had never thought that there would be a traitor among the people who had been through thick and thin with him.
Sheng Yu'an said, "It's said that this man's family was detained by Chen Peng, but he didn't reveal the true identities of Third Brother and you. I guess this is because this man made a deal with Chen Peng. He used a map of the Xinchuanling Underground Palace in exchange for the safety of his family and you. I didn't expect that you would encounter an accident in the tomb first."
Then, the people sent by the eldest brother to capture the third brother also arrived. The group that the eldest brother mentioned should be Chen Peng's people. When Chen Peng's people arrived at the place, they found that everyone was dead. They had no choice but to put away the map and find the right people to help him continue to search for the underground palace.
"The person Chen Peng is looking for is the Bai family?" asked Manager Shi.
"Well, that's why you found the trace of the Bai family when you returned to Xinchuanling again two years later. Chen Peng gave the map to the old patriarch of the Bai family. He used the underground fairy palace as bait, coercion and inducement, and made the Bai family his cash cow." Sheng Yu'an said.
Shopkeeper Shi asked, "Mr. Sheng didn't lie. Are you relieved?"
Sheng Yu'an smiled bitterly.
Yeah, it's a relief indeed.
The third brother has loved the eldest brother the most since he was a child.
Now that he knows that his elder brother didn't kill him just to compete with him for the family inheritance, he can...rest in peace, right?
If the eldest brother's people had not arrived at that time, Chen Peng's people would have arrived first.
The situation is probably even more critical.
The identities of the third brother and his men have been exposed, and the Sheng family is doomed.
And the underground fairy palace probably cannot be preserved either.
By some strange coincidence, it became the most tragic yet the best ending.
Li Minghe and his men quickly withdrew from Xinchuanling.
When Nanchun heard about it, he hurried out of the city to meet them.
When Li Minghe saw him coming, he stepped forward and gave him a big hug.
Then he handed him a map, patted his shoulder, and said, "The marks on this are the traps that Shitou and I set. Nanchun, I believe in you! You will definitely find the underground fairy palace!"
Nanchun nodded and said, "Yes, of course!"
"Okay, it's not like we'll never see each other again. Why are you so sad?" Shi Tou grinned.
Li Minghe wiped his tears, punched him, and said, "You're the only one who talks too much!"
Reunions are always short. After just a cup of tea, Li Minghe and the others were about to leave.
Later, Chunxiao told them that the Fourth Master seemed to have assigned them some secret mission.
If Nanchun knew that this meeting was a farewell, he would definitely say to Li Minghe and Shitou: "Be careful!"
Unfortunately, this is all in the past.
