Chapter 38: Crisis, the Emerge of Conspiracy
“What is going on here!?” Bai Qiwei asked in amazement and anger.
Looking at Su Mengrou who lay on the ground in a coma, in fact, Bai Qiwei probably has guessed something, which he was unwilling to admit it.
“Father, Bai Aoxue let her maidservant to stun my cousin. His Majesty gave Bai Aoxue two maidservants to protect her!” Bai Suxue saw Bai Qiwei as if she saw a savior.
But Bai Qiwei was in a daze for a moment after listening to Bai Suxue’s words.
He understood in mind that Bai Aoxue has already submitted herself to Jun Yeyan.
“Alas! Let it go. Let go of this unfilial daughter. On day she will get her comeuppance!” Bai Qiwei sighed heavily.
After listening to Bai Qiwei’s words, Bai Suxue knew that he had planned to let go of Bai Aoxue. She was not reconciled.
“Father, should we allow Bai Aoxue to free from the punishment? My cousin was beaten by her!” Bai Suxue said resentfully.
After listening to the complaints of Bai Suxue, Bai Qiwei looked at Bai Suxue without blinking. But he did not speak.
Where was his love in that pair of indifferent eyes? His expression set Bai Suxue in panic, as if his love was an illusion.
“When did I need you to make my decision? It seems that I really gave too much love to your mother and you so that you are so improper!” Bai Qiwei faintly said to Bai Suxue who lost her nerves.
He swept away his panic. Instead, his calm and peaceful appearance made Bai Suxue scared.
“Father, father, this is not the case. Father, I know I was wrong. Father, please forgive me...” Bai Suxue said anxiously with her knees on the ground.
But Bai Qiwei was too lazy to even glance at Bai Suxue. He angrily flipped his sleeves and said: “Men!”
Steward Bai quickly walked into the front hall after hearing Bai Qiwei’s voice. When he saw tearful Bai Suxue lying on the ground, his eyes flashed across distress and anxiety.
Stabilizing his mind, Steward Bai said: “What is your command, my lord?”
Bai Qiwei did not notice the expression of Steward Bai. If he saw him, perhaps astute as he would find something.
“Send Miss Su back home. If the Su family asks, you tell them that their whole family was forbidden to come to Prime Minister’s mansion without my summons. I don’t want to see this family again!” Bai Qiwei said to Bai Suxue fiercely.
Bai Suxue, who was crying, was completely shocked after hearing the words of Bai Qiwei. She did not expect that Bai Qiwei has already been so sick of the Su family.
He has been so disgusted with them that didn’t want to see them anymore.
Steward Bai he was also shocked about what Bai Qiwei said, but he did not dare to have doubts.
“I am leaving now. My lord, since you are tired, please takes a rest.” Steward Bai looked at Bai Qiwei respectfully.
Bai Qiwei nodded. No longer lingering in the front hall, he turned and walked away.
At this time, only Bai Suxue and Steward Bai were left in the room.
“Second daughter, you should go back to your room. My lord is in a bad mood these days. You should not provoke him. When he cools down, he will always love you as much as before.” Steward Bai comforted Bai Suxue.
After listening to Bai Suxue listened to Steward Bai, the resentment against Bai Aoxue in her heart was deepened.
“Steward Bai, you have been with my mother for so many years, and you’ve always been loyal. Today, I have something to beg you and I hope that you can say yes.” Bai Suxue looked at the empty courtyard and said maliciously.
Steward Bai was shocked after listening to Bai Suxue’s words. Looking at the livid face of Bai Suxue, Steward Bai knew that what she would request was not something good.
But he had to grant Bai Suxue’s request.
“Second daughter, please say what you need me to do.” Steward Bai looked at Bai Suxue seriously.
Finding that Steward Bai had a serious expression, Bai Suxue no longer hesitated. After making sure that nobody was around them, she whispered: “You help me to hire a few killers and let them kill Bai Aoxue for me!” freewebn(o)vel
Bai Suxue’s cold and indifferent voice sounded in Steward Bai’s ears. Her every word was bloodthirsty and vicious which chilled Steward Bai’s heart.
“Miss, you...” Looking at Bai Suxue, Steward Bai had something to say but stopped.
When Bai Suxue saw Steward Bai’s expression, she thought that he was not willing to help. Then she said fiercely: “Aren’t you loyal to my mother? Don’t you want to help me now??”
Steward Bai looked at Bai Suxue, who was so hysterical, and felt woeful in heart. He started to regret whether his original decision was correct.
“Miss, you misunderstood. I’ve been loyal to both my lady and you. Even if you are going to take my life away, I will offer to you with my hands!” Steward Bai looked at Bai Suxue with grief.
Once Bai Suxue heard, she impatiently said: “I don’t want your life now. I just want you to help me find someone to kill Bai Aoxue! Can’t you do it?”
“I will definitely do this for you, Miss. Miss, you don’t need to worry!” Seeing that Bai Suxue was impatient, Steward Bai said seriously.
Seeing that Steward Bai grant, Bai Suxue calmed down.
“That’s good. I hope that it could happen as soon as possible. I don’t want to see Bai Aoxue even for one more day.” Bai Suxue told Steward Bai.
“I know. I will find someone to do this in a while.” In the mind of Steward Bai, he only wanted to satisfy Bai Suxue’s wishes. He did not care about other nothings.
“Do it. The sooner, the better!” Bai Suxue repeatedly enjoined Steward Bai.
Steward Bai also knew what Bai Suxue thought, and he said: “Miss, do you need to let my lady know now?”
Steward Bai reminded Bai Suxue of Su Qianqian, who was still in the ancestral hall. On second thought, she said: “You don’t need to tell my mother. When she came out, Bai Aoxue doesn’t exist in this world anymore. Hahaha...”
Bai Suxue, who laughed wildly, seemed to see the death of Bai Aoxue.
Steward Bai looked at Bai Suxue, who was like a demon, and sighed slightly.
“Right! I don’t want a third person to know this thing except you and me!” Bai Suxue withheld her wild laugh.
“Miss, I know.” Steward Bai looked at Bai Suxue who changed her expression so swift.
Bai Suxue nodded with satisfaction when she found Steward Bai being so obedient. She said: “That will be the best. By the way, send my cousin back. She is also a loser. A person who came to help even got beaten up. She deserves it!”
After finishing her words, Bai Suxue briskly left the front hall even without looking at Su Mengrou who laid on the ground.
Without a trace of sympathy, the gloating tone of Bai Suxue made Su Mengrou, who originally laid on the ground and pretended to be unconscious, extremely angry.
In fact, Su Mengrou woke up long ago. She accidentally heard Bai Suxue’s conversation with Steward Bai when she was about to get up. She was also happy that Bai Suxue took the lead to kill Bai Aoxue.
When she thought that after the death of Bai Aoxue, she could still get what she wanted, Su Mengrou was excited. She then allowed herself to pretend to be unconscious.
However, when she heard Bai Suxue’s remarks, she could not help but be angry. If it wasn’t because Bai Suxue, she would not come to Prime Minister’s mansion today, and certainly would not suffer from this unexpected accident!
Thinking of this, Su Mengrou felt the pain on her face. Her resentment against Bai Aoxue and Wenxi was even out of control.
Steward Bai, on the other side, also called a few servants.
“Quickly, you guys help Miss Su up and send her back to Prime Minister’s mansion.” Steward Bai commanded everyone and simultaneously thought about Bai Suxue’s request.

And Bai Aoxue, on the other side, returned to her small courtyard with Hongxiu and others.
“Mumian, you bring Hongxiu and Wenxi to Xiangxue’s room.” Bai Aoxue looked Hongxiu and Wenxi who stood beside Mumian.
Mumian also knew that Bai Aoxue was in a bad mood now, so she said sensibly: “I know, Miss.”
Mumian, who just wanted to leave, stopped to look at Bai Aoxue as if she reminded of something.
“Miss, where is Xiangxue? Why didn’t I see her?” Mumian looked at Bai Aoxue in wonder.
And Bai Aoxue looked at the innocent Mumian and sighed slightly: “The day before yesterday, Xiangxue told me that she wanted to go back to her hometown. I agreed since she was so pitiful. I guess that she left in a hurry, so she didn’t say goodbye to you before we went to the imperial palace.”
When Mumian heard Bai Aoxue, she was frustrated: “Xiangxue was gone. We promised to take care of you together.”
Bai Aoxue knew that Mumian believed in what Xiangxue said. However, in order to prevent Mumian from being contaminated by earthliness, Bai Aoxue had to make Mumian sad.
“Don’t be sad. People have their own destinies. Maybe you will meet in the future.” Bai Aoxue comforted her.
Mumian also felt that Bai Aoxue was right. Maybe they would meet again someday.
Sweeping away the frustration, Mumian said: “Miss, you are right. Whether they leave or not, I will never leave you.”
After listening to Mumian’s words, Bai Aoxue laughed and said: “Hurry up. Take Hongxiu and Wenxi to the room!”
Hongxiu, who stood aside, war deeply envious of the relationship between Mumian and Bai Aoxue.
Wenxi seemed to be calmer. For her, she could get the supreme glory after completing this task, so she didn’t care about such a relationship.
Bai Aoxue secretly observed the expressions of these two people but did not say much.
“Right, after unpacking, Wenxi, you come to me.” Bai Aoxue looked at Wenxi who stood aside.
Wenxi, who was in meditation at the first place, although she had doubts in mind when she heard the words of Bai Aoxue, she still nodded and said “Okay, Miss.”
After they all left, Bai Aoxue returned to the inner room and looked at the imperial edict.
She even started to look forward to her future a little bit.
Thinking of this, Bai Aoxue casually put down the imperial edict in her hand and walked to the table cabinet in front of the bed.
Bai Aoxue took out some of the pills she made last time from the drawer, and then threw them into her pocket randomly.
Bai Aoxue, who just finished these things, heard a light string of footsteps.
“Miss, can I come in?” Wenxi’s respectful voice rang outside the door.
Bai Aoxue was surprised that Wenxi came so fast, but also said with satisfaction: “Come in.”
“Oh...” Wenxi walked in along with the creaky of the wooden door.
“Miss, what do you need me to do?” Wenxi only felt that she just came here to complete the task instead of being a real servant of Bai Aoxue, so there was less respect for Bai Aoxue.
Bai Aoxue listened to Wenxi’s words and smiled faintly: “I know that you have been practicing martial arts for a few years. Since His Majesty granted you to me, you must be useful. See, the mission is coming.”
After listening to Bai Aoxue’s words, Wenxi did not think that Bai Aoxue would be so straightforward and pointed out the relationship between them directly.
“After a while, you go to lurk around the ancestral hall of the mansion. Of course, I hope no one will see you. If there is any movement in the hall in the next few days, or if anyone goes in and out, I need you to tell me all of them without any concealment.” Without beating around the bush, Bai Aoxue directly said her intention. freew(e)bnovel
Although Wenxi doubted Bai Aoxue’s practice, Jun Wuhen has told her that she must complete no matter what Bai Aoxue asked her to.
“I know, Miss.” Wenxi respectfully bowed.
Bai Aoxue looked at Wenxi and nodded with satisfaction. “Now go. Be careful. Don’t let them notice.”
