Chapter 9

“When did it become the Li family's turn to check my Bai family's carriage?” Bai Yunhan said coldly.

Several of Li's guards heard Bai Yunhan's words and realized this was the Bai family's carriage.

The few looked at each other, not daring to offend the Bai family's people, so they gave way.

After Yi drove the carriage away with Bai Yunhan, the head guard said to a guard next to him: "You follow them!"

"Yes!"

Until the carriage arrived near the medical hall, Su Mo was about to get off, but was suddenly grabbed by the arm by Wu Ying.

The soft touch of her palm made Wu Ying stunned for a moment, and he quickly let go of Su Mo's arm.

"Someone is following behind!" Wu Ying said in a low voice.

Bai Yunhan heard Wu Ying's words, lifted the curtain and looked back. Sure enough, he saw Li's man sneaking around pretending to buy things not far away.

Wu Ying looked at Bai Yunhan with meaningful words: "Young Master Bai might as well do a good deed and let us stay at the Bai residence for a few days."

"This..."

Bai Yunhan hesitated. After all, they had just met, but he couldn't bear to see the two young ladies being taken away by Li Wenxuan's men either.

Sang Li saw Bai Yunhan's hesitation and was very sorry: "Young Master Bai, I'm really sorry to trouble you. My sister and I will leave immediately."

Sang Li pulled Su Mo and was about to get off.

"Wait..." Bai Yunhan immediately stopped them: "If the two young ladies don't mind, you can stay at my house for a few days first."

Sang Li had her back to Bai Yunhan at this time, and the corners of her mouth slightly upturned.

She turned her head, pretending to be embarrassed: "But...won't it be troublesome for you?"

"No, the Li family doesn't dare come to my Bai family to find people."

Sang Li gave him a faint smile: "Thank you Young Master Bai, you’re really kind. Then we'll have to trouble you."

Bai Yunhan was stunned, looking at her smile, he lost himself for a moment. When he came back to his senses, his face was somewhat hot.

"You’re...you’re welcome..." Bai Yunhan said somewhat uneasily.

Su Mo pressed her nose with her index finger, bowing her head trying to hold in her laugh. When sister Sang Li makes her move, who can resist!

She, Su Mo, likes handsome guys and loves beauties even more. She was attracted by Sang Li's temperament before, and that was how they became good friends.

When sister Li smiles, she can be charming. When she doesn't smile, she can be aloof. When she speaks, she can be gentle.

Anyway, if she, Su Mo, were a man, she would definitely like sister Li!

Wu Ying glanced at Sang Li, sitting motionless. Retreating in order to advance, quite clever, but too calculating, not a simple character.

Then he looked at the giggling Su Mo again.

There was a hint of contempt in Wu Ying's eyes. One had a brain, the other had no brain.

Just like that, Yi drove the carriage towards the Bai house again.

The carriage did not stop at the front gate, but at the back yard of the Bai house.

"The young master is back. Go notify Madam and Master quickly!" Yi said to the servant in the backyard.

"Yes!" The servant immediately ran towards the main courtyard.

Bai Yunhan got off the carriage first and said to Yi: "Yi, please invite a doctor to the residence."

Yi pouted: “Young Master, they are of unknown origin. How can you let them stay in the residence?”

Su Mo jumped off the carriage and said to Yi: “Little brother, nice boys who like to help others can find a wife in the future!”

Yi was Bai Yunhan’s page boy and not very old. In Su Mo’s judgment, he was like a high school student.

"You..." Yi's face turned red with anger as he glared at Su Mo.

"A frivolous girl like you, no one would dare marry you!" Yi retorted.

"Yi, don't be rude!" Bai Yunhan scolded.

Su Mo was not angry, but laughed instead: "How could no one marry me? Didn't Wu Ying betroth himself to me?"

Wu Ying, who had just gotten off the carriage: "..."

Seeing Wu Ying's whole body exuding a dangerous aura, Yi didn't dare say anything. He glared at Su Mo before leaving the backyard.

Bai Yunhan led them into the yard.

The courtyard had winding corridors, lush plants and pine cranes among garden rocks. There were flower beds over trellises, pavilions, gazebos, small bridges and flowing water, all available.

One look and you know it was a wealthy family.

The three followed behind Bai Yunhan, looking around and pondering to themselves.

Just then, a middle-aged man hurriedly walked over to Bai Yunhan.

"Young Master, you're finally back!"

"Uncle Fu, where are my father and mother? Aren't they at home?"

Only then did Wang Fu notice the three people behind Bai Yunhan. His eyes fell on Su Mo and Sang Li, and he couldn't help frowning. "Young Master, who are they?"

"Oh, they are friends I met on the road. They will be staying here for a few days!"

Bai Yunhan saw Wang Fu's gaze kept falling on Sang Li and Su Mo. He deliberately coughed and said, "Uncle Fu, they are two young ladies..."

Only then did Wang Fu come back to his senses: "Sorry, I was rude..."

Bai Yunhan saw Wang Fu's red eyes, seemingly bloodshot. He couldn't help but wonder: "Did something happen at home?"

"Young Master, go to your father’s bedroom first...and you’ll understand..."

Bai Yunhan was startled. He turned to look at Wu Ying and said, "Settle them into the rooms."

"Yes."

Then Bai Yunhan hurried away.

Wang Fu looked at Su Mo and Sang Li: "Please come with me..."

Wang Fu took them to the east wing and told the maids to prepare tea for them before hurriedly leaving.

But as soon as he went out, he whispered to the maids outside: "Keep an eye on those two girls. Report to me immediately if they do anything suspicious."

"Yes."

...

"I really didn't expect that this Bai Yunhan would actually be from such a wealthy family!"

Su Mo looked around the furnishings in the bedroom and sat down in front of a bronze mirror, looking at her somewhat disheveled self, she pouted: "Haven't bathed in a day, really want to take a bath!"

Sang Li sat on a stool by the table, propping her chin thoughtfully.

"That butler's reaction was a bit strange..."

Su Mo didn’t care: "Was it? Maybe it’s because of our clothes! After all, we’re different from them!"

"No...his reaction wasn't like it was the first time he saw someone dressed like us. He wasn't puzzled or surprised, but was probing."

Hearing Sang Li’s words, Su Mo immediately sat down beside her: "Sister Li, were you observing so closely?"

Sang Li recalled the expression on the butler's face when he first saw them, pondering.

Seeing her deep in thought, Su Mo stopped disturbing her. Let sister Li think about this brain-racking stuff!

Bai Yunhan arrived at Old Master Bai's bedroom and found many people inside.

Madam Bai, Old Master Bai's two concubines, and his half-sister were all there.

Everyone was lifeless, with red swollen eyes, apparently from crying.

"Mother, what happened?" Bai Yunhan saw the person lying on the bed covered with a white cloth.

Bai Yunhan's pupils shook, and he didn't dare step forward!
