Chapter 38
"Are you...sure?" Su Mo clearly didn't quite believe what Xiao Han said.
"Why would I lie to you? The gentle breeze who first entered was fake! Don't believe me, go ask Sister Li and Miaomiao." Xiao Han said.
Su Mo rubbed her temples and carefully recalled. She vaguely remembered someone seemed to have hugged her.
She went to the study. Xia Miaomiao and Sang Li were discussing plans.
"Sister Li, Miaomiao."
"Mo Mo, you're awake?" Sang Li looked towards the door, "Is your body uncomfortable at all?"
Su Mo shook her head, "No, I really wasn't brought back by you guys yesterday?"
"No," Xia Miaomiao said, "When we came back, you were already asleep in bed!"
Su Mo frowned slightly, "Then who was it? Gentle Breeze?"
"It wasn't Gentle Breeze. The Gentle Breeze who entered the cabin yesterday was fake. The real Gentle Breeze was knocked unconscious by him," Sang Li said.
"No way? What did he want to do? Pretend to be Gentle Breeze and drink with me? It doesn't seem like he had any malicious intentions towards me either, and he even sent me home? Is this person...mentally ill?"
"Based on this logic, this person is most likely someone secretly in love with you!" Xia Miaomiao deliberately said.
"Someone secretly in love with me? How is that possible? Those secretly in love with me are all in our..." Su Mo suddenly thought of something and paused.
"Who did you think of?" Sang Li asked.
Su Mo looked at them and uncertainly asked, "It's...Shadowless?"
"We guessed it was him, but we're not too sure either."
Su Mo paused, and a flash of gloominess passed through her eyes, "But he said he doesn't like me!"
"But last time he still risked his life to save you." Sang Li said.
Su Mo was a little confused, "Sister Li, weren't you quite against me liking Shadowless before?"
"I didn't understand his intentions before, afraid he would hurt you. But now we already understand his intentions and background. Most importantly, the treasure map is in his hands, which is related to whether we can cross back or not," Sang Li said very frankly.
"I see. If it really was him yesterday, I'll go find him and get to the bottom of this!" Su Mo said before leaving the study.
She returned to her room and saw the pot of chili peppers placed by the window sill had grown very well.
Su Mo picked up the pot of chili peppers and looked at it.
If Shadowless really liked her, why did he say that before?
What exactly was his relationship with Third Aunt?
That day when she went to see Shadowless, Third Aunt sent people to kill them that very night. Was it really him who leaked the news to Third Aunt?
And who exactly was Shadowless? Did he kill the owner of the pharmacy?
Su Mo had many questions in her mind and felt a little restless.
She put down the pot of chili peppers and went out the door.
"Mo Mo, where are you going?" Xiao Han, who was decocting herbs in the yard, called out to her when she left the yard.
Su Mo waved to her, "I'm going shopping on the street!"
...
Sang Li and Xia Miaomiao had worked out a plan and were about to go to the Bai house to find Bai Yunhan.
Unexpectedly, Lady Bai came to Wenge Pavilion.
Xia Miaomiao sighed, "Alright..."
Sang Li patted her shoulder comfortingly, "It's okay. Eventually it will be used. Even if we don't live here, we still have to earn money ourselves. Let's go find a house this afternoon. We have to move out tomorrow."
...
Wang Fu drove the carriage to the main street. Lady Bai got off the carriage, intending to buy some things.
"Manager Wang, keep an eye on their whereabouts," Lady Bai said.
"Yes, my lady. But you don't need to worry too much. After all, the old master's death has nothing to do with you," Wang Fu said.
"I'm afraid Han'er will blame me. Those girls are crafty. I'm afraid they will suspect something."
"The young master is indeed a little soft-hearted. Didn't expect he would directly release Third Madam."
"Bai Yichen's appearance was quite unexpected. Didn't think he wasn't dead," Lady Bai said in a deep voice. "Han'er has always been quite affectionate and righteous. How could he kill his cousin? However...now that Third Madam's identity has been exposed and she has left the Bai family, Second Madam can't cause much trouble either."
"My lady, you are now the person in power of the Bai family. Those who should be dismissed must be dismissed," Wang Fu said meaningfully.
Lady Bai frowned, "But now Second Aunt is very obedient, I have no reason to drive her out of the Bai family."
"Recently, the neighborhood has been talking about Miss Bai Yunxin and Young Master Li's affair..."
Lady Bai thought for a moment, a smile overflowing from the corner of her mouth, "I understand."
Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives. Lady Bai and Wang Fu ran right into Li Wenxuan.
Seeing Lady Bai, Li Wenxuan sauntered over and looked Lady Bai up and down.
"Oh, isn't this the widow who just lost her husband? How do you still have the mood to go out?"
Lady Bai glanced at Li Wenxuan without acknowledging him, and walked past him.
Li Wenxuan rolled his eyes at Lady Bai's back, and as he turned to leave, a pebble suddenly flew over, hitting his calf directly.
"Ah!" Li Wenxuan knelt down on one knee.
"Young Master, are you alright?" The guard next to him immediately went to help him up.
"Who, who sneak attacked me?!" Li Wenxuan looked left and right, only seeing people coming and going.
Lady Bai inadvertently glanced back, then withdrew her hand. She said coldly, "Useless fool!"
Not far away, Su Mo saw this scene, and was a little surprised.
"This Lady Bai... knows martial arts?" Su Mo murmured to herself as she licked a candy figurine, "Old Master Bai knew martial arts, it should be quite normal for Lady Bai to know a little too."
"Beauty, out shopping alone?" Su Mo's shoulder was patted.
Su Mo turned around, frightening Li Wenxuan and making him jump back.
"You... you're that tigress?!" Li Wenxuan was so frightened he retreated several steps, just about to run away.
Su Mo reached out her hand, just in time catching his collar, and deliberately said, "That's right, I'm alone, I'm so lonely, why don't you accompany me? Hmm?"
The two guards were just about to step forward, but Su Mo glanced over coldly, frightening them so they didn't dare move.
"Madam, Madam, I'm wrong, please let me go!" Li Wenxuan cried, "I didn't check my horoscope before going out today, and ran into you, this tigress!"
"Weren't you going to catch me? I'm right in front of you, come catch me!"
"I won't, I won't, just let this fart go!"
Li Wenxuan was a typical debauched young master. He bullied the weak and feared the strong, wandering leisurely around brothels every day, and liked to tease any beauty he saw on the street.
But after these two times, he knew that Su Mo was a formidable character he could not provoke.
