They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 406 It’s her again

Asking about such an awkward matter would be even more awkward, so even though Madam Qin and Master Qin were curious, they wisely kept quiet and didn't ask a single question.

Once all the guests had left, Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang naturally had to ask.

Liang Mingxuan was a little embarrassed. He tried his best to keep his face tense and appear calm and composed, but as he spoke, his ears and cheeks turned slightly red, and he began to stammer.

He is still young, and although he is more educated and intelligent than most people, he is still clueless and only has a vague understanding of matters between men and women. Moreover, he has never even considered such things.

Suddenly, a big move was made, and I almost got caught off guard. How could I not be scared?
Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang were both heartbroken and wanted to laugh but dared not, trying their best to hold it in.

"It's all over now, thankfully nothing happened."

"Our Mingxuan might really be blessed by the God of Literature, turning bad luck into good and misfortune into good fortune."

Liang Minglang nodded, "Your sister-in-law is right. This matter is over, so don't dwell on it. Consider it a reminder to be more careful in the future, both outside and at your county school."

Liang Mingxuan nodded solemnly: "I understand, elder brother and sister-in-law."

Looking back now, it was his oversight.

The person who told him that his sixth grandfather wanted to see him was a relative he didn't know, and he couldn't even remember who it was. How could he have believed someone so easily?

Fortunately, I wasn't caught red-handed on the road, otherwise I would have been in deep trouble.

Fortunately, the jade pendant was just an ordinary jade pendant, without any markings belonging to him. He vowed that he would never wear anything with markings or names again, not even jade pendants, sachets, fan pendants, or handkerchiefs.

Use the most common and widely used ones.

Liang Minglang patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, you've had a long day, go and rest. We'll have dinner a little later tonight, I'll call you then."

"Ah."

Liang Mingxuan nodded, turned around and left.

He was truly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Liang Minglang's eyes flashed sharply, and he snorted.

Xu Zhichun looked at him: "You also suspect the Bai family?"

Liang Minglang sneered, "I thought our second aunt had become more docile, but I didn't expect her to be even bolder. She actually dared to scheme against Mingxuan!"

Their family wasn't familiar with the Bai family. It was fine for the Bai family to come and offer their congratulations on such a joyous occasion, but they would never dare to take such a risk without someone instigating them.

Liang Minglang only needed to glance at Bai Yunxian to roughly understand her personality; she wouldn't dare to take drastic measures without someone provoking her.

Xu Zhichun held his arm. "Perhaps the Bai family thinks that scholars should maintain their dignity. Once this matter becomes public, our family will have to accept it whether we like it or not, which is also a kind of protection for her?"

Liang Minglang laughed, "Then she's thinking way too simply."

He didn't want to scare his wife, so he didn't go into details.

But even if the Bai family really schemed against him, they are ruthless, so how can we expect him to be righteous? He will use any dark means at his disposal.

Xu Zhichun looked at him.

Liang Minglang pulled the person into his arms and gently patted him. "I'll talk to our dear second aunt again tomorrow."

The Bai family was overjoyed and quickly returned home with ten taels of silver.

Ten taels of silver! Bai Lanshi had no choice but to keep it. She didn't even want to stay a little longer to talk to Bai Shi—she was afraid that Bai Shi would try to take her ten taels of silver.

Faced with someone like this, Bai Shi was powerless to use any of her tricks, and she didn't even have a chance to have a private chat with Bai Yunxian.

Brandy Blanche practically ran away with her son and daughter.

Bai was so angry that her vision went black.

Left with no other choice, Bai pretended to visit a neighbor and went to the home of Aunt Hua, a notorious gossip in the village, to inquire about the matter discreetly.

Aunt Hua was eager for someone to talk to her about this, to savor the memory, and she spoke with great enthusiasm. But as everyone knows, the gossip told by a gossipmonger is only about 70% accurate in its relevance to the facts.

Bai was terrified, and her vision blurred.

Bai returned home unsteadily, and collapsed onto the bed, unable to hold on any longer.

"What to do, what to do?"

Those who harbor ulterior motives and enjoy scheming and doing evil never underestimate their opponents.

Liang Minglang and Xu Zhichun probably realized that this matter was related to them.
Xu Zhichun is one thing, but Liang Minglang, he's so vicious, what if he does something to me?
Bai felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and dared not even think about it.

Of course I regret it; I wish I had slowed down and thought things through before acting.

Bai was so flustered that she didn't even eat dinner.

Late at night, she gritted her teeth and splashed cold water on herself. Her wet clothes were cold and sticky against her body, and she just sat there blankly, not changing.

She thought, if she gets sick, they won't be able to come to see her, right? If she's sick for a long time, the matter will fade away, and maybe they'll just let it go.
The next day, as Bai had hoped, she fell ill and developed a high fever.

She was still somewhat conscious, so she listlessly told her family that there was no need to call a doctor and that she just needed to rest.

Since her health problems started, her family has spent a lot of money and complained that she can't do much work. They've been dissatisfied for a long time. She herself said that she doesn't need to see a doctor and is more than happy to do so.

No one would offer to invite her.

Liang Minglang still came.

During the day, everyone from the second branch of the family went out to work. He sneaked into the second branch's courtyard and went straight to Bai's bedroom.

Bai opened her eyes instinctively when she heard the noise, and when she saw Liang Minglang, she thought she was hallucinating.

When they realized it really was him, they were so terrified they wanted to scream.

Unfortunately, I was bedridden with a fever and my voice was hoarse, so I couldn't scream at all.

"What are you doing here?"

"Don't you know why I'm here, Second Aunt?"

"Are you... misunderstanding something?"

"Second Aunt is so perceptive and meticulous! I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already figured it out?"

".no!"

"You harmed the Xu family enough, and now you dare to touch Mingxuan. Bai family, I think you really want to die."

"no no!"

Bai shook her head frantically, her knuckles white as she gripped the blanket tightly. "I didn't... I wouldn't dare! I'll never dare again! Really."

Liang Minglang's gaze was icy, radiating coldness. "Dare not? I think you dare quite a bit. Unless you're dead, you'll dare to do anything."

Liang Minglang drew his dagger with a "whoosh!" The gleaming, sharp blade pierced straight to the heart.

Bai stared at the dagger in terror, her heart stopping instantly, her eyes rolling back as she fainted.

Liang Minglang sneered, "So afraid of death, yet so vicious."

Liang Minglang pinched her philtrum to wake her up.

When Bai opened her eyes, she saw the gleaming, sharp blade again and almost fainted again. She broke down, yelling, "What are you doing! What do you want to do?!"

The sharp blade was instantly pressed against her vulnerable neck. "What do I want to do? I want to kill you!"

"No! No! Please don't!"

Bai broke down in tears, pleading and crying, tears and snot flying everywhere.
