Chapter 332 Sometimes laughing hurts more than crying
Yes, without his extraordinary qualities, he would be useless. He would surely face the same fate as the Wang family.
"Then what do you want to do?" Bai Yishui asked hurriedly.
"Immediately block the news about Xin Chuanling, turn the passive situation into the active one, and get out of the control of those people." Bai Xun said.
"Getting away? How can it be that easy? What is greater than money is power, do you understand? A high-ranking official can crush people to death... let alone those of us who have no power." Bai Yishui said with a wry smile.
"That's why I said to immediately block the news about Xinchuanling. Let them mistakenly believe that the Bai family's search for the tomb in Xinchuanling is going smoothly." Bai Xun said.
Bai Yishui then asked, "Then how do we turn passivity into initiative?"
"They are greedy and their desires are insatiable. We should take out some funerary objects at the right time and tell them that we have found a part of the tombs in the underground fairy palace. We can use this as a bargaining chip to find the level of cooperation that can crush him." Bai Xun said.
Bai Yishui pondered for a moment and said, "Isn't this a trap again? And we've offended someone so powerful, it'll be even harder to escape."
"If you want to escape these troublesome and scoundrel little ghosts, you must use the Great Evil Ghost to intimidate them. As for the Great Evil Ghost, when you want to deal with him, just use the Judge. Grandfather, this is a matter of life and death. Only by taking the initiative can we have a chance of survival.
If you believe me, leave it to me. If not, I will pretend to know nothing as before. You think about it first. I will go ask the person who escaped from Xinchuanling for some information. "Bai Xun said.
Bai Yishui nodded.
Baishan sent Baixun out to the gate of the yard.
Bai Xun suddenly stopped and looked at Bai Shan without blinking.
Bai Shan unconsciously took two steps back, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Master, do you have something to say to me?"
"How long has the butler been working in the old house?"
Bai Shan replied, "More than fifty years ago. I entered the old house when I was less than ten years old. I have been working as a servant to the old master at home."
"It's been so long, you must know all the secrets of the Bai family, right?" Bai Xun looked at him and said.
Bai Shan quickly replied, "No... no, I just serve the old master and take care of the trivial matters in the house. I don't know any secrets."
Bai Xun said calmly, "That's good. Knowing too much is not a good thing. Talking too much is not a good thing either. Butler, you've worked hard all your life, and have been careful with your words and actions. Now it's time for you to enjoy your retirement. Just tell me where you want to go and what you want."
After saying that, Bai Xun left.
Bai Shan saluted at his back and said, "Thank you for your concern, Patriarch."
When Bai Xun's figure disappeared, Bai Shan's legs felt weak as he walked back. If he hadn't held on to the stone pillar, he would have fallen.
The second young master is pointing at him!
I'm afraid my days of staying with the master of the house are almost over.
The cat in the yard in the past has now become a tiger in the mountains.
Some things are probably beyond the control of the head of the family.
Other courtyard.
Bai Xun knew his brother would come back, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
It seems that my brother cares about Bai Yufeng, right?
Pity……
Bai Xun sat in the study, waiting for Bai Song's arrival.
As expected, he did not go to the old house, but went straight to the villa.
The car stopped at the gate of the villa. Bai Song quickly got out of the car, walked into the villa, and walked to Bai Xun's study.
My brother had always paid attention to his appearance and clothing, always looking like a dashing and elegant gentleman wherever he went. But now his hair was messy, his beard was unshaven, and his clothes were wrinkled.
"You didn't kill him, did you?" Bo Song asked.
Bai Xun poured a cup of tea, placed it opposite him, and motioned him to sit down and chat.
"I said no, do you believe it?" Bai Xun looked at him and said.
Bo Song came over and sat down opposite him: "I believe it."
Bai Xun nodded: "I didn't kill him."
Bo Song pursed his lips and asked, "Then how did he die?"
"I ended my own life." Bai Xun answered truthfully.
"Impossible? He... he has suffered all kinds of hardships. He survived all the hardships in the past. He can't... it's impossible..." Bai Song was a little excited.
"He said that he will only live for you in this life," said Bai Xun.
Bo Song's face was full of shock. He opened his eyes wide, the corners of his mouth trembled slightly, but he couldn't make a sound.
Bai Xun sighed and said, "I let him go, but he didn't hesitate at all and chose to end his life. You've known him for so many years, so you should understand his choice, right? He wanted to end Grandfather's thoughts and set you free."
Bo Song's eyes were red and tears were welling up in his eyes, but they were held back by his clenched teeth and tightly pursed lips.
"Are you kidding me? Set me free? I, Bai Song, am using him to set me free? Who is he... what right does he have? He said... what he said about spending his whole life for me... Does that mean he's going to die for me? I need him to die? Did he ever ask me what I think?" Bai Song laughed bitterly. "He's still the same as when he was a kid, unable to understand what people say or what they think... Ridiculous!"
After saying that, Bo Song left.
He walked towards the gate of the villa step by step with a blank expression on his face.
"Master, where are we going?" Meng Wu asked.
"Go back to my yard."
The car soon arrived at the gate of the old house. Bo Song stood at the familiar gate and hesitated to go in. He suddenly felt that this place was like the gaping mouth of a poisonous snake. Going in would be a way to death.
"Young Master, you're back. The old master..." Butler Bai has been waiting for a long time.
"I'm tired and want to go back to the house to rest. Let's talk about it later!" Bai Song walked in with a wooden face.
When he arrived at the gate of the yard, Bai Song saw Bai Yufeng as a child.
He was cleaning the yard diligently with his head down.
This fool never slacks off or seeks credit.
He walked past the stone table under the plum tree and remembered that they had played chess here before. Bai Yufeng didn't know how to play, so he scratched his head and blushed.
When Meng Wu entered the courtyard, he saw his master climbing onto the roof and was horrified: "Master, what are you doing..."
"Get me a jar of wine," said Bo Song.
Sitting on the roof, drinking wine.
The stars in the sky were bright, just like that day.
That was his birthday and also his mother's death anniversary.
He was sitting on the roof drinking alone like he is now.
Bai Yufeng came, sat next to him and knitted a big furry stupid dog for him.
He fell asleep while rocking it in his hand.
There was a warm touch on my forehead.
It soon disappeared.
Bai Song squinted his eyes to look and saw Bai Yufeng sitting upright, looking straight ahead.
But his blood-red earlobes revealed his current mood.
Bo Song closed his eyes and curled the corners of his lips.
Gone, there will never be that person by his side again.
Who is it?
Self-righteous, self-willed...it's just taken for granted!
Bo Song smiled bitterly and took a sip of wine.
He hates this kind of people the most...
Hesitant and timid.
The most annoying!
As I laughed, tears started to flow.
Sometimes laughing is more painful than crying.
