White Fence Dream

Chapter 251 Asking
"Zhang Ze is here?"

The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang, who had been lazily leaning on the Hu bed, sat up and frowned slightly.

When she heard that the King of Chu was coming, Mother Xu sat restlessly in the room and muttered to herself, but she didn't even raise her eyelids.

Someone said that she had been hiding beside the King of Chu before, so Zhou Jingyun went to the Hualou Boat and "flirted" with the King of Chu, and the wife of the Marquis of Dongyang curled her lips, but she was actually talking to her.

So it is not surprising that the King of Chu comes to the Dongyang Marquis’ Mansion now.

But what is Zhang Ze doing here?
Could it be that he discovered her?
Madam Dongyang held her hands tightly and was about to get off the ground: "I'll go take a look."

Mother Xu hurriedly stopped her and said, "She said she wanted to ask about Li Chengyuan. The prince also attended the banquet that night." She advised, "Madam, wait and see what the prince says."

Asking about Li Chengyuan, Mrs. Dongyanghou sat down, it sounded reasonable, but I always felt...
"Why didn't she come to greet me these two days?"

Hearing the question from the wife of the Marquis of Dongyang, Mother Xu wanted to laugh: "Didn't the Madam forbid the prince to come?"

No, the child was actually very polite. He would talk to her when he came home and when he left. Why had there been no news for the past two days? Could something have happened again?

The wife of the Marquis of Dongyang felt a little uneasy and looked towards the direction of Zhou Jingyun's courtyard.

Zhang Ze looked at the courtyard in front of him and took a deep breath.

Zhou Jingyun suddenly came to him and said that she wanted to see him and asked him to come to her house.

The previous times he saw her were all in illusions, he didn't know that this time...
The sound of a child babbling could be heard from the courtyard.

Obviously, the little princess is here too.

Zhang Ze took a step forward and pushed the door open. He first saw Zhou Jingyun standing in the corridor, and then he saw a woman sitting on the beauty chair in the corridor with a child in her arms.

There is no dizziness, no dim vision, and the summer is bright.

Zhang Ze looked at the woman in front of him. She was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old with a strange face.
No, that's not right.

No stranger!
she!
Zhang Ze's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Bai Li!" he blurted out.

The woman in front of her picked up the child in her arms and turned to the side: "Okay, I have to get down to business."

Mrs. Zhuang hurried forward to take the child, glanced at Zhang Ze, and retreated into the room holding the crying child.

She sat in the rocking chair, rocking and looking at Zhang Ze, smiling slightly: "Zhang Ze, do I look a lot like Bai Ying?"

Zhang Ze looked at the woman in front of him. Her face shape, eyebrows and eyes were like Bai Ying covered with a layer of gauze, or splashed with a layer of water, with a soft and gentle smudge.

It can't be said that they look very similar, but for those who are familiar with Bai Ying, especially those who are chasing and investigating cases like him, the similarity can be seen at a glance.

In addition, after calling out the name Bai Li, many things that were once chaotic and confusing, and the doubts that seemed to be problematic but not knowing where, suddenly became clear.

Yes, indeed, it should, must, and as expected, it is Bai Li.

Zhang Ze's eyes were relieved, but then they became solemn, suspicious, and a hint of ferocity flashed across them, so there was no ghost of Queen Jiang at all.
It was all because of this woman, Zhou Jingyun, and these remnants of Chiang Kai-shek’s regime who were playing tricks on him.

"A villain is a villain." The woman looked at him and smiled. "When they are afraid, they will grovel. When they think they have seen through the truth, they will immediately become vicious and ferocious."

Zhang Ze's face froze, and the woman in front of him sat up straight and looked at him.

"Zhang Ze," she said, "I killed Li Chengyuan and not you because you were not mine. I never used you. You surrendered to Prince Changyang, which was not a betrayal of me. You did not desecrate my body. But after I died, you insulted my reputation and promoted your own. You confiscated my family and slaughtered innocent people, and then pinned all these crimes on me."

As she spoke, she stood up suddenly and waved her hand towards Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze only felt a long knife coming towards him. He subconsciously raised his hand to block it. The knife entered his flesh near his ear, and with a crackling sound, his entire arm broke off.

Zhang Ze cried out in pain and hugged his arms, while the female voice continued to be heard in his ears.

"However, each serves his own master. I couldn't do anything to you before, so I deserved it. But now that my destiny has not been broken and I have returned, you can no longer do whatever you want."

Fate was not over yet. Zhang Ze slowly opened his eyes and saw that the arm he was holding in his arms was still attached to his body, and the woman in front of him was still sitting on the chair.

Looking at her now, her young face was covered with another layer of veil, outlining another face, arrogant, cold, and gorgeous.

"Bai Ying has told you about Bai Li's weirdness, right?" She looked at Zhang Ze and continued, while reaching out to touch her face. "She may not have explained clearly why she scares people and drives them crazy, because Bai Li is a person who changes with the demons in people's hearts. She will become what you expect and what you fear."

What you expect and what you fear will become what you want. Zhang Ze looked at her, surprised and somewhat surprised. So she became
"You," he asked slowly, "what do you want me to do? Help you."

The woman in front of him waved her hands: "I don't need you to do anything. After all, I haven't done anything for you." Her expression darkened, "But don't confiscate my family and accuse people of being members of Jiang's party. Zhang Ze, I've been dead for six years. You can't rely on my name to scare people for the rest of your life, right? Don't you have any other skills?"

Zhang Ze clenched his hands hanging at his side, and was about to say something but in the end said nothing and just responded with "yes".

"There is more." She paused, with a hint of curiosity, "Bai Xun was also accused of being a member of Jiang's party. They said that the correspondence was found. When did I ever write to him? If it was a random frame-up, how could Bai Ying tolerate you?" Zhang Ze raised his head: "Did the queen ever have correspondence with Bai Ying?"

The person in front of him didn't care about his temptation and nodded: "Yes, this little girl is very brave. She dares to ask me for a future. I will give her a future."

A strange smile appeared on Zhang Ze's lips.

"So, this is the evidence," he said, "Bai Ying produced it, so of course she can tolerate it."

Did Bai Ying take it out?

Zhou Jingyun, who had been listening quietly, could no longer hold back his astonishment and said, "She, she wants to execute the entire family!"

How can it be?

Those are her relatives and family!

How could she bear to do that? !
"Because she didn't want to be disliked by the emperor." Zhang Ze said, looking at the woman in front of him, "In the beginning, she relied on the power of the queen to marry into the Changyang Palace. There have always been many rumors that she was used by the queen to monitor the prince."

The woman in front of her suddenly realized, "When Prince Changyang was a prince, he didn't dare to do anything when facing the people I sent to monitor him. After I die, Prince Changyang will become the emperor, and he won't have to be so cautious. Besides, there are more and more women around him, and the emperor is suspicious of them. Bai Ying won't be favored, and she won't be able to save her life."

"So she just confirmed her suspicion." Zhou Jingyun looked at Zhang Ze, "Confirm that the Bai family is Jiang's party, and then let the emperor remove this suspicion, and take her, the concubine of the descendant of a criminal, and His Majesty will have no scruples, only pity."

Zhang Ze nodded: "Yes."

There was a moment of silence in the corridor, as if the summer breeze had stopped.

The woman sitting on the rocking chair laughed: "Great, everyone says I'm crazy, but there are many people in this world who are crazier than me."

Yes, is she crazy? Zhou Jingyun thought, those are her father, brothers and sisters.

Ah Li has always been called a jinx, and has been said to have brought disaster to her mother and the entire family. Although she doesn't say it, she hates herself so much in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have told him that she was a bad person.

It turned out that the Bai family was convicted because of this. Her own sister abandoned her family and stepped on their lives to fight for her own future.

Zhou Jingyun couldn't help but look at the woman sitting in the rocking chair.

If Ah Li knew the reason why the Bai family was convicted, would he be happy to get rid of the guilt that brought bad luck to himself, or would he be more sad?
If she knew, would she still have the energy to live?
It is so cruel that a loved one dies at the hands of their own loved ones.

At this moment, he was suddenly glad that it was not Ali who was here.

The wind blew the yellow sand into flying shapes, and the sound of horse hooves mixed with shouts could be heard.

"General Bai——"

Horses passed by, and the sturdy horses and tall men cast shadows on the ground.

"Hurry up, your wife is about to give birth--"

The man jumped off his horse with a bang, and before he could laugh happily, a young girl appeared in the courtyard in front.

"Dad, Mom can't do it anymore—"

The tall figure staggered, and the next moment he stumbled forward. The tall figure disappeared from the ground, and only one person was left standing there.

The next moment, another figure appeared on the ground, then stood up along her body.

"Bai Li, how long do you want to think about it?" Shadow asked, "Do you want to go and see it, or leave?"

Bai Li ignored her and just looked at the girl and the man in front of him, listening to their sad and panicked cries, as well as the painful screams of the woman in the courtyard.

The shadow turned along her body and came forward to face her.

The face that was like fog and gauze gradually became clear.

"If you don't wake up, I'll take this body away."

Bai Li's gaze into the distance fell on this face.

"If you could have taken it, you wouldn't have had to wait until now. You could have just watched me being sucked away by the millet bead."

The eyebrows in front of him stood up, and he snorted: "You still have me under control! Do you think I really don't dare?"

After that, the countenance faded and the shadow floated around, seeming to fly away, but then stopped.

"But I won't take your body for nothing. I asked you about the things you've been looking for." She said, her eyes clear again, with a somewhat sinister smile, "Do you know who was convicted of a crime and your entire family was executed?"

Bai Li looked at her: "I know, it's my sister, Bai Ying."
