Chapter 60: I am alive, but a pawn in your hand.

Chapter 60

Lady Bai suddenly realized and immediately ordered Fang Qing to go to the wood shed to catch two rats and bring them over.

Fang Qing quickly caught two rats and locked them in a bamboo cage.

Wang Fu came forward and fed one rat some molten cream candy, and fed the other one some tea.

In just a short while, the rat that drank the tea kicked its legs a couple of times and immediately died.

Chun Xiang's face changed, and she panicked and said, "My Lady, I didn't poison it, I really didn't poison it!"

Lady Bai looked at Chun Xiang, her face somewhat cold. Chun Xiang had always been her person, and she didn't believe that Chun Xiang would poison anything, but now the facts were right in front of her.

"You didn't poison it? Then where did the poison in this tea come from?!" Lady Bai waved her hand, knocking over the tea on the table.

Chun Xiang was so scared she shuddered, "Really, it wasn't me! My Lady, I don't know why there was poison in this tea either!"

"Were you always there when you were brewing the tea?" Sang Li suddenly asked.

"I..." Chun Xiang thought for a moment, "When I was boiling the water, I went to the latrine for a bit..."

With a slap, a slap landed on Chun Xiang's face, "Useless thing!"

At this time, Xiao Han walked out from inside, her bangs damp with sweat.

"Miss Xiao, how is Bai Yunhan?" Lady Bai immediately stood up and asked.

"He's awake now..." Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief.

Lady Bai was immediately overjoyed and went inside, with everyone else following behind.

Bai Yunhan was seen sitting leaning against the bed, his face ghastly pale, his lips slightly purplish.

"Yunhan, how are you feeling?" Lady Bai asked anxiously.

Bai Yunhan was expressionless. Seeing Sang Li come in, his eyes looked towards Sang Li.

But now he realized he not only had a heartless father, but also a heartless mother.

Listening to these things, Second Aunt couldn't help but be shocked and stare with wide eyes. So Lady Bai had known long ago that Third Aunt wanted to kill Old Master Bai?

Lady Bai looked up at Bai Yunhan, the pent-up resentment in her heart for many years seemed to gush out at this moment.

"Yunhan, you said I'm heartless? But how did Bai Zhen treat me?"

Tears slid down Lady Bai's face, "When I married him, he said he would never take concubines. But barely two years after I gave birth to you he took Second Aunt as a concubine! I always had a knot in my heart, but for your sake I endured it. I was the principal wife, I had to be magnanimous, I told myself it was very normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines!"

"But two years ago, he took Third Aunt as a concubine in the same way! And he falsely accused me of having an affair with Li Hong! He broke one of my ribs!"

Bai Yunhan's eyes were filled with disbelief, "What did you say? He hit you?"

Lady Bai sobbed, "Yes. You probably don't know, I used to practice martial arts. But after marrying your father I became more gentle because he liked that. From then on I never practiced martial arts again. I was no match for your father. He broke one of my ribs and it took me several months to recover."

Wang Fu listened to Lady Bai recounting these things, and couldn't help getting red-eyed.

Bai Yunhan's eyes were filled with red, simply unable to believe the words Lady Bai said, "Why? You never told me any of this?"

"What good would it have done telling you? From then on I resumed practicing martial arts. I've been secretly training for the past two years. Your father neglected me and I kept to myself. The pharmacy owner was indeed my subordinate. The first time Third Aunt asked the pharmacy owner to poison someone I already knew of her ulterior motives for coming to the Bai family. How could I possibly expose Third Aunt when I hated your father so much!"

Sang Li looked at Lady Bai, "So you've been using us all along? Using us to expose Third Aunt in order to chase her out of the Bai family?"

"Yes. I just wanted to expose Third Aunt through your hands, but I never expected Yunhan to fall for you."

Lady Bai closed her eyes for a moment, "Yunhan, anyone can hate and blame me, but not you! Bai Zhen knew you don't like doing business and has been wanting Second Aunt and Third Aunt to bear him another son. If he really has another son, do you think you would still have a place in the Bai family?"

"Everything I did was for you!"

"Mother, I'm not interested in the Bai family assets. I only hope we can live together harmoniously as a family without these sinister schemes."

"Do you think that's possible?" Lady Bai retorted.

Bai Yunhan didn't answer. Indeed, was that possible? While living in the Bai family, even his tiny wish was wishful thinking.
