Chapter 379 “The End of the Bai House (4)”

“The second thing,” retracting her gaze from the distraught figure, “I like to announce that my mother Lan Yue actually gave birth to a stillborn back then. At the time it just so happens that an old acquaintance of my mother’s was seeking shelter for her own child, as such, my mother secretly buried the stillborn and swapped the baby out with me instead.”

Lan Yue gave birth to a stillborn?

Compared with Old Madam Yu poisoning Lan Yue, this news was far more reaching and instantly stirred up a storm within the crowd.

If Lan Yue gave birth to a dead baby years ago then wouldn’t it mean Bai Yan isn’t Bai Zheng Xiang’s own flesh and blood?

“So…” Bai Yan paused, letting her words sink in before sneering at the bastard in question: “What more do you have to say now?”

Sure enough, not even Bai Zheng Xiang can continue to cling onto his last glimmer of delusion for survival. Slowly collapsing to the ground, he repeatedly mumbles to himself in complete horror: “Impossible, my wife couldn’t have given birth to a stillborn, impossible….”

“What’s impossible?” The Dowager could no longer stand it anymore and stepped forward, “I also read the letter myself. It clearly stated in there word by word so there’s no falseness in that. Furthermore, as if a good child like Yan Yan could ever be your flesh and blood. In fact, I doubt even Bai Xiao is yours either!”

Painfully closing his eyes, Bai Zheng Xiang now knows…. His Bai House was finished for certain this time. Whatever words he can come up with, whatever excuse he can think of, nothing will save him from what’s to come.

“Sister,” by now Bai Xiao had come before his sister’s side. From that young handsome face, the lad was extremely frosty like a sharpened blade ready to strike, “I want to personally avenge Mother’s death. Let me repay the blood debt today!”

Not going squash that conviction in her brother’s eye, Bai Yan readily nods before turning to the side, “Yi Yi, go with my brother and take several of the guards with you too. I don’t want him to dirty his hand too much with blood.”

No matter how far Bai Xiao has come in his growth, the lad was still the very same clean and gentle boy from way back. For that reason alone, the woman refuses to let anything dirty or foul to her brother’s heart.

“Don’t worry, leave this matter to me.” Patting her chest in assurance, Chu Yi Yi easily made her promise, “You three over there, come with me!”

“Yes Princess,” responding with swiftness in their voice, the guards needed no further instruction to move.

Of course, there’s bound to be those who are not happy about being left out. Puckering her lips in discontent, Di Xiao Wan (demon princess) looks towards Bai Yan in anticipation: “Sister-in-law, is there anything you need me to do?”

“What do you want to help with?”

“You can ask me to do anything.” That’s right, so long as she doesn’t need to stay so close to her brother then that’s all fine and dandy. Her nerve simply can’t take so much fright in one day.

“Then you can go to the Lan House and tell my grandfather to prepare some rooms. My three shifus here are going to stay the night.” After musing over the options, Bai Yan figured this was the best course of action without making a mess of things.

“Thank you Sister-in-law!” Not needing any encouragement, Di Xiao Wan instantly rushed out of the area like a shooting star. In a blink of an eye, her figure was already out of sight.

Naturally this sort of frightened rabbit reaction wouldn’t go unnoticed by Di Cang himself. Wrinkling his brow, he turns to his woman for answer: “Am I that scary?”

Likely able to sense the tinge of depression in that voice, Bai Yan somehow didn’t have the heart to hurt the person any further. “You are often scaring her so it’s expected that she would be that way around you is it not?”

“Oh, are you trying to defend for her now?” Raising a grin, Di Cang was rather pleased there.

“No, I am just telling the truth.”

“Is it?” Pulling the woman into his embrace, Di Cang’s voice became meltingly soft like the female there would break at the slightest force: “Its already a great leniency on my end that I’m not beating her, you can’t exactly expect me to start treating her as good as you now can I? No one in this world can make me treat them in such a fashion, not even my sister.”

For some reason Bai Yan felt like she’s stuck in a great dilemma right now, Am I suppose to be feeling lucky, or should I be feeling sympathetic for Di Xiao Wan?

“Don’t worry about her, she has someone to dote on her instead.” Acting as if he couldn’t see the black lines hovering over her face, Di Cang continues to do his smooth talking, “I only need to dote on you and that’s enough.”

“But what about me?” It was then a third voice chimed in from the side, thus breaking this lovely mood.
