Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 107 Master Bai 2 is not trustworthy

After returning to the teahouse, Nanchun was still in a daze.

Sheng Yu'an poured him a cup of tea and sighed, "No wonder you escaped from the Bai family so easily. It turns out they did it on purpose! Alas, I didn't want to say more to you. But now that things have come to this, I still have to let you know some of the inside story to prevent you from falling into someone else's trap.

The Bai family went to Xinchuanling this time to search for a tomb, specifically the Underground Palace. Old Man Nan didn't want to help them, so he deliberately concealed his presence in the tomb. In recent years, the number of available tombs he had helped the Bai family find had dwindled, a fact that had long drawn suspicion and resentment from the Bai family.

However, only an experienced tomb-hunter like Old Man Nan could possibly find the Immortal Palace. So even if they harbored suspicions, they couldn't do anything about him. This time, they had a new group of people accompanying him, essentially keeping him under surveillance.

He suddenly disappeared, and the Bai family couldn't tell whether he was dead or alive, or whether it was an accident or intentional. That book must be their way of testing you, testing whether you know anything about the Immortal Palace."

After hearing this, Nanchun's face turned pale.

If that was true, then the day that Butler Bai took the initiative to talk to him about the bookstore, Boss Zhen, and the matter of books, he was testing him.

If he knew nothing, he would naturally tell him about the "Family Letter" that Boss Zhen gave him.

However, he lied and chose to conceal it.

He even secretly left Baijiazhai with the book.

Isn't this telling them clearly that I have understood what is hidden in the book?

"They used that book to infer that you're not completely ignorant of the affairs of the Asgard. Old Master Ruonan is deliberately hiding his whereabouts, and using you as bait is perfect for him to reveal himself.

If Old Man Nan really has met with an accident, and you, who may have learned Old Man Nan's skills, go look for him, you might be able to follow the clues and help them find the Immortal Palace."

Nanchun shuddered unconsciously after hearing this, and was swept over by a creepy feeling as if a poisonous snake hidden in the dark was staring at him.

He thought he had deceived others, but in fact he was being used. Like a puppet, he followed the steps set by the other party step by step.

“No… No…” Nanchun’s face turned pale, and he grabbed Sheng Yu’an’s arm with trembling hands. “My mother… I… I… My mother is still in Baijiazhai.”

"That's why they can let you go so confidently." Sheng Yu'an said in a deep voice, "Just like they used your grandfather, they can only feel at ease with you and your mother in their hands."

Nanchun said nervously, "If they find out, and Grandpa doesn't help them, and I don't stand with them... then my mother..."

Sheng Yu'an patted his hand and said softly, "Don't worry. They won't act rashly until you find Old Man Nan's whereabouts and the Immortal Palace. And up to now, they don't know that Old Man has any contact with me.

They probably didn't expect you to suddenly leave the Jin family caravan midway. Baijiazhai and Yangcheng are calm, and we haven't seen any signs of you following us. I'll send more people to Baijiazhai to protect your mother, don't worry."

After hearing him say this, Nanchun felt a little relieved.

Although he was suspicious of the Bai family, he never thought they would go to this extent.

He couldn't explain what he was feeling at the moment.

Hesitating and wavering between belief and disbelief.

In his previous life, he had always lived in the other courtyard and rarely went out. Even when he did go out, it was always with Bai Xun, who would go for an outing and enjoy the scenery.

No one, whether it was Bai Xun or the people who took care of him, would tell him what was happening outside or what had happened.

"Fourth Master, if..." Nanchun hesitated to speak.

Sheng Yu'an looked at him and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it boldly. You and I have just met. Compared to the Bai family you have known since childhood, it is normal for you to have doubts about what I say."

"What I want to say is, what if...what if the Bai family is looking for treasure just to learn from these things and their craftsmanship?" Nan Chun said anxiously, "You've also seen that the Bai family's imitation skills are superb.

If... they can really master those exquisite and even lost crafts, wouldn't that be a good thing to pass down the skills of our ancestors? "

Although Nanchun was eager to defend himself, he obviously lacked confidence when he said these words.

Sheng Yu'an smiled and said, "Why did your grandfather help the Bai family? Because he thought so too at first. But you know what? One after another, the authentic items ended up in the hands of foreigners along with these indistinguishable imitations."

Nanchun lowered her head dejectedly.

Sheng Yu'an gritted his teeth and said, "Imitations are always imitations. Selling a hundred or a thousand of them won't bring as much profit as selling one genuine item. But tomb robbing, such a sinister act, has always been a stigma since ancient times. Moreover, the Bai family not only stole the funerary objects, but also secretly sold them to foreigners.

Oh, on the surface, they appear to be strict family members, generous and charitable, and kindhearted people. But in reality, they are grave robbers, traitors to their country for wealth, and willing lackeys of foreigners. I can only describe the Bai family as shameless."

Seeing Nan Chun keeping his head down and not saying anything, Sheng Yu'an continued, "When you meet Old Master Nan in the future, he will vouch for me on what I said. Also, I have to warn you: Second Young Master Bai cannot be trusted! Perhaps he took you to that bookstore deliberately to set you up."

Nanchun subconsciously retorted: "Impossible, Bai Xun wouldn't do that..."

Sheng Yu'an frowned and said in a deep voice, "Then you know? The second young master Bai didn't go to Yangcheng at all, but went to Xinchuanling!"

Nanchun suddenly looked up, wide-eyed, and looked at him in disbelief.

"He knew about your grandfather's disappearance before he went to Xinchuanling. Did he tell you? He lied to you and said he went to Yangcheng. In fact, he has been leading people to look for the Immortal Palace in Xinchuanling. Your grandfather, and you, are worthless in the face of the interests of the Bai family!" Sheng Yu'an's face was solemn.

Nanchun's face was pale, his lips trembled slightly, his hands were clenched into fists, his nails dug deep into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain at all.

Sheng Yu'an stood up, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly, "The truth is often cruel, and you are still some distance away from it. If you want to take a step back and live a stable and smooth life, I can help you arrange it. You can take your mother away and start a new life in a place where no one knows you.

If you want to move forward, you must abandon your expectations and fantasies about the Second Young Master Bai, because you will definitely be rivals in the end. In two days, the Jin family's caravan will arrive in Yangcheng, and then your whereabouts will be revealed. Think carefully for the next two days."
