Chapter 21 Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills
Madam Wang was very satisfied with Bai Heran's understanding of the current affairs. She felt that the strength shown by the second lady must be pretending to be. How could a person who has been cowardly since childhood have changed so much?
She stood by the wooden barrel with her hands, and the person had successfully tricked into the water, so there was no need for her to laugh. The fierce look on her face gradually revealed, and looking at Bai Heran was like watching a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Bai Heran was taking a bath very seriously, soaking his whole body in water, rubbing his arms and legs, and asked Madam Wang from time to time: "Do you want to help me wipe my back?"
How dare Mama Wang! The water mixed with the petals cannot be touched. The second lady said that itch will make people crazy, and even scratch her skin and expose her bones, she can't stop it. She must not get infected.
Seeing that the old woman did not move, Bai Heran snorted and stopped asking for it. He just muttered and spoke again in a regular tone: "Madam Wang, I have lived for so many years, so I am considered biased. Now that I have returned to my house, I should take my life as much as I should."
"What did the second lady say?" After all, Madam Wang was shocked when she heard this. The fear of the previous one hit her heart again. Looking at Bai Heran soaked in the wooden barrel, she was squirting the water splashes one by one, and she felt comfortable and comfortable. How could she look like she was poisoned?
Bai Heran curled the corners of his lips, "It's nothing, don't worry, no one in this mansion can touch you except your second wife." After saying that, he stood up and walked out of the wooden barrel calmly, "Go back! I've soaked the water, it's very comfortable. When I go back, I tell the second wife truthfully that she will definitely give you a good reward."
Madam Wang was already confused by her words. The bad premonition became stronger and stronger. She didn't dare to stay in front of Bai He Ran for too long. But she was unwilling to accept that the other party really didn't respond to the petals, so she gritted her teeth and looked at it a few more times. She found nothing except seeing Bai He Ran's smooth and flawless skin.
He left the house tremblingly. Hanxiang wanted to ask more questions, but Madam Wang ignored him and just lowered her head and left in a hurry.
Hanxiang felt strange and pushed the door into the room, but saw Bai Heran squatting on the ground with her heart caressed, looking pitiful.
She hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Miss Second?"
Bai Heran was helped up by her, and pointed at the bucket of water tremblingly and said, "Madam Wang is such a good person. It turns out that someone wants to harm me and send poisonous petals over. Madam Wang used to serve my mother and took care of me for more than a year. She said that she was nostalgic for the old master. This is true. If Madam Wang hadn't secretly told me that the petals were poisonous, I would have been killed."
Hanxiang was shocked and looked into the water, but he did not see half of the petal.
The second wife had a temporary idea. She didn't know the plan, but she also understood that the second wife could not let Mama Wang bring a basket of petals for no reason. Now that Bai Heran said this, she immediately realized that Mama Wang must have betrayed Mama Wang.
That old man who was heartless was loyal to his old master, but he forgot how much benefit he had gained from his second wife over the years.
Another sound came from outside the door. Yingchun came back with a new set of underwear and hurriedly put it on Bai Heran.
Hanxiang showed dissatisfaction, "What does Sister Yingchun mean? Are you dissatisfied with the clothes that the wife prepared for the second lady? We have clothes in our room, but you also found them from outside for the second lady to wear. Isn't this clearly dissatisfaction with the wife?"
Yingchun frowned in annoyance, and didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while.
Bai Heran opened his mouth and warned Hanxiang: "It's the second wife, not the wife, so you can't call it wrong."
Hanxiang's heart shook and quickly whispered: "Yes, I'm wrong. But why doesn't the second lady wear the clothes in the box? I see that those clothes are much better than this one."
Bai Heran pulled the corners of his mouth, "The material is better, but everyone has their own preferences for clothing, and this preference will be different every moment. For example..." She looked Hanxiang up and down, and smiled in her eyes, "For example, now, I'm interested in your outfit. Do you think my preference is quite interesting? Why don't you take it off and wear it for me, and I'll give you the boxes of good clothes in my room, how about it?"
Hanxiang was so scared that she knelt down quickly, "I don't dare, I must not ask for the lady's clothes."
Bai Heran shook his head, "You have nothing to dare to do. Yingchun, change her clothes."
Yingchun was just answering the words and was about to take off Hanxiang's clothes, but she heard someone shouting in the yard - "All the people in this yard are dead? Where are they?" Then he heard a "bang" and someone kicked open the door. "Hide in the house and put on airs, do you really think that you are the legitimate lady?"
It was Bai Huayan's voice, with tenderness, but she could not hide the annoying and sarcastic and unruly feeling.
Bai Heran rolled his eyes and said to Hanxiang: "It was such a coincidence. It seems that you are really unlucky to get my good clothes. You have a better candidate now."
While Han Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, she also deeply felt sad for Bai Huayan. The second lady was completely different from before, and she didn't know what happened next.
Bai Heran walked out from behind the screen, but saw that Bai Huayan didn't care about challenging her anymore, but began to wander around her room.
This room was carefully arranged by Ye. Ye has always done a good job on the surface, so that Bai Huayan became more jealous and more angry as she looked at her. Especially when her eyes fell on those boxes of clothes, the jealousy in her eyes burned red.
Why can a down-and-out daughter get such good treatment? Why is Bai Heran's yard better than hers? She has been interested in the pair of white jade vases on the case for a long time, but the second wife has never been willing to give her, but she moved to Bai Heran's house today. Why is this?
Bai Huayan was so angry that she was about to explode!
"Bai Heran, don't think that with grandmother approaching you, you can really live like a lady. There is only one lady in our house, that is, the eldest sister Jinghong. At best, you are just a former lady. Why should I wear such good clothes with such good things? Are you worthy of it?"
Bai Heran looked at the ten-year-old girl and remembered the sister of a clan uncle in her previous family. She was so arrogant and domineering at this age. She also pointed at her nose and called her a broom star who killed her mother. She also poured a bag of dilute cow dung mixed with water on her head.
How did she deal with the other person at that time? Oh yes, she slapped her and threw it down from the spiral stairs of the mansion.
There are no stairs here today, and she doesn't want to hit Bai Huayan. She just told Bai Huayan: "I'm planning to give the clothes in the box to my maid whom I gave to, thank her for being willing to come and serve me."
Bai Huayan exploded suddenly, "What? Give it to a maid? Bai Heran, are you crazy? Do you know how expensive these materials are? Even the eldest sister can't afford it. You actually want to give it to a maid? It's really a terrestrial spore that has never seen the world."
Bai Heran laughed in his heart, but pretended to be surprised, "So expensive?"
Bai Huayan rolled her eyes, "Of course, it's just a pity that these good clothes have given you something that is ignorant and wasted your mother's intentions in vain."
Bai Heran nodded and followed the flow: "My fifth sister is right. Since it is a waste to put it here, it is better to give it to my fifth sister! I just came back from Luocheng and I don't have any gifts to give to my sisters. I hope my fifth sister will not dislike these boxes of clothes."
Bai Huayan's eyes lit up, "Give it to me?" Then she giggled, "Is it said that you are a sick girl who is not allowed to go to the table? The same is true for your mother who died early, and she is a bad life. She is not worthy of the dignity of our Duke Wen's Mansion, so she dies. The same goes for you, sooner or later, to kill yourself." As she said that, she walked closer to the suitcase and went to see the clothes with saliva, "Forget it, for the sake of these clothes, let you stay in the mansion for a few more days." She turned her head and looked at the vicious eyes, "Bai Heran, you really shouldn't have come back alive."
"Is that right?" Bai Heran put away the disguised panic on his face and snorted softly, "That really disappoints you. You are only ten years old and can say such sarcastic words. I thought that even if the child raised by the second wife since childhood could not learn half of Bai Jinghong, it would be okay to learn 10% of Bai Jinghong. However, I didn't expect that the second wife would teach the serious lady of Duke Wen's Mansion to be like this. It was a world of difference from her own daughter. I really don't know how many deep hatreds there are."
Bai Huayan was young at the end of her life, and Bai Heran's obvious provocative words were really a matter of what she could do.
Everyone praised Bai Jinghong for being beautiful, Bai Jinghong was dignified, and everyone wanted to learn from Bai Jinghong's leftist sect. It seems that when he was a child, his father also said that he could learn 10% of Jinghong's side by his mother and learn from him.
But in fact, the second wife never taught her how to be like her elder sister. Could it be that she was afraid that she would learn it and surpass her elder sister?
Bai Huayan felt worse and worse. Bai Heran did not intend to let her stand here and continue thinking. She turned around and sent Yingchun and Hanxiang: "Hurry up and take out all these clothes." Then she looked at Bai Huayan and gave an idea, "It's not easy to get so many clothes. If you come and move them a few more times, it will be eye-catching. There are many sisters in the house. If someone comes to compete with you, it will be a waste of money. The fifth sister might as well take off her outer robes, wrap them in them, and carry them. When you go back, try to walk the path and carry some people on your back. You should not be found out that you are not wearing an outer robes, just hold on to a little cold."
In front of the good clothes, Bai Huayan could not care about whether she was cold or not. She took off her outer robe and carefully stuffed the clothes inside. Bai Heran also gave her the robe she had worn back. The boss tied two bags together, and Bai Huayan's small body could not be carried, and finally put it on the ground and dragged it away.
Seeing Bai Huayan leaving step by step, Bai Heran's smile became more and more intense. She stared at the empty boxes for a while and suddenly shouted - "No! There is a thief!"
