C84 A Thousand Turns as in a Play

When Meng Zixian heard this, she couldn't help but be moved. This was all a lie.

Bai Lanxin was only seventeen this year, and this youth had suffered so much. From what he heard, he was once almost sold to a brothel to be used as a small restaurant.

Meng Zixian thought for a while, then said, "Little Xin, I think you have to see for yourself what is going on. How about you choose whether to return or not?"

Bai Lanxin looked at her with a bitter face, feeling that Meng Zixian had abandoned her.

Meng Zixian patted his head, "You go back first. Have a good rest."

After sending Bai Lanxin off, Meng Zixian went to find Gu Jingcheng and told him everything that had happened.

"That lady doesn't seem to be such a malicious person at the moment." Gu Jingcheng pondered.

It turned out that today, when they went to attend the banquet, they met the current head and wife of the Bai Lan family.

"As the saying goes, one shouldn't judge a book by its cover. The difference between their appearances is the scariest!" Meng Zixian wanted to strangle this woman.

"Tomorrow, you will follow me and check out the situation."

After the agreement was made, Meng Zijue went back to bed with some relief.

Meng Zixian coaxed Bai Lanxin for a long time on the second day before she was willing to go with her.

Bai Lan Prefecture.

The head and wife of the Bai Lan family came to welcome them. When the lady saw Bai Lan Xin, she looked a little uneasy, her eyes fluttering.

Bai Lanxin expressionlessly stood next to Meng Zixian, very obedient.

After welcoming him to the main hall and serving him some tea and pastries, the Patriarch said: "Many thanks to Young Noble Meng for bringing my new waiter back."

Meng Zixian quickly stopped her, "I didn't say that I would bring him back to you. Besides, Lil 'Xin doesn't want to come back."

The Patriarch's smile was a bit stiff. Gu Jing Cheng immediately said: "Bai Lan Patriarch, there are some things we need to understand first."

"I heard from Lil 'Xin that this lady of yours doesn't like our Lil' Xin at all. Since she was young, she sent him out and now wants him back. Don't even think about it!" Meng Zixian slammed his hand on the table in anger.

The head of the Bai Lan clan was shocked. He looked at his wife beside him and saw that she had a strange expression on her face.

"Prince Meng, shall we talk inside?" The head of the Bai Lan Clan had a serious expression as he looked at Meng Zixian.

"Lil 'Xin, come with me."

Meng Zixian whispered to Gu Jing Cheng, "Find someone and keep an eye on this woman. I'm afraid she'll run away."

Gu Jingcheng gave her a reassuring smile.

Meng Zixian and Bai Lanxin were welcomed into the study by the head of the Bai Lan family.

"Is what Master Meng said true?"

"Lil 'Xin, say it yourself."

Bai Lan Xin gritted his teeth and looked at the head of the family with hatred, unwilling to speak. Meng Zi Xian coaxed him for a while before he slowly finished.

"Bang!" The head of the Bai Lan family slammed the table, "How dare you!"

"This woman has slept in the same bed as me for so many years, and she's actually such a person!" The head of the Bai Lan Clan looked at Bai Lan Xin, guilt written all over his face.

After they finished talking, they went out. The head of the Bai Lan family immediately called for people to arrest Madam Bai Lan and shut her up. Bai Lan Xin was still unwilling to stay the night and followed Meng Zian back.

Bai Lan Xin pursed his lips but didn't say anything. Meng Zian comforted her softly, "Xiao Xin, since you know, your father didn't intentionally ignore you. Do you want to go back and think about it?"

Bai Lanxin refused to speak.

Meng Zixian could not force him. After she returned to the mansion, Bai Lan locked herself in her room.

Meng Zixian was a bit worried. After all, she had been with her child for months.

During the night, everyone had their own thoughts, making it difficult for them to fall asleep.

On the second day, Bai Lan took the initiative to come to her house and ask to go home. Meng Zixian repeatedly asked if she had really confirmed her request.

"Yes, I want to go back."

"It's mine, I want it back."

Meng Zixian nodded and sent him back to the Bai Lan Manor. She felt a bit sad, so she got off the carriage and prepared to stroll around.

"Young master Meng."

Meng Zixian heard someone calling for him and turned around to see who it was. It was Yang Chunzi.

Yang Chunzi said, "Young Master Meng doesn't seem to be happy. Can you let me treat you to a good meal?"

This time, Yang Chunzi took her to a small shop, but it was full and tasty.

"What, is it because Bai Lan has returned?"

Meng Zixian, who had been jabbing at her bowl of rice, immediately raised her head. "How do you know?!"

"Of course I know. Let me tell you a secret."

"Bai Lan leader, there were two sons and three daughters. One of them was born by the former wife, the rest were born by the new wife, but they all died young, and they all died after Bai Lan went missing."

"Bai Lan Family Head, after your children have all died, you will become sterile for a long time. I thought it was because of your new wife, but there are still many concubines that have yet to bear fruit."

"Only Bai Lan Xin, the one son is still alive. What do you think, what plans do you have to find Bai Lan Xin, Bai Lan Patriarch?"

The head of the Bai Lan family had tried to look for Bai Lan Xin, but the chances were slim. He wanted to slowly give up after losing this child, but now that he found out that his son was still alive, all he wanted was to be the successor.

"Don't be in such a hurry."

Meng Zixian wanted to go to the Bai Lan Manor, but was pulled back by Yang Chunzi.

"Let me continue with something."

"Bai Lan Xin has been smart since he was young. When he went missing, he was only eight years old."

"His mother died from anger."

"The head of the Bai Lan family and the new wife have a fit of anger. The old lady saw that one was already dead, and the other was just a corpse."

"The old madam is so angry because the new madam is her own servant girl."

"Bai Lan's new wife is someone she doesn't like. She's always been the right person. Do you think she knows that her mother died from anger?"

"Also, at that time, the new wife's house and the Bai Lan family were at loggerheads."

Meng Zixian was shocked. After hearing so much news, she wondered if the wife of the Bai Lan family was killed?

And Bai Lanxin, could it be that he knows about this?

Bai Lan Xin wants to go back and take revenge? You just decided to go back in one night?

"I've told you all these, it's just to stop you from craving for peace. There are some things, just let nature take its course."

Meng Zi was speechless. "Even if I wanted to get involved, I wouldn't care …"

Just after learning of this news, the Bai Lan Manor announced that their long-lost son was found, and on the second day, their new wife passed away …

Meng Zixian was someone who knew the inside story. She thought to herself, "This is good, now we have a string of questions. I wonder if the Bai Lan Head is truly innocent, and if Bai Lan Xin will make a move against the Bai Lan Head."

"Young Master, Young Master Bai Lan is here."

While he was thinking, Bai Lanxin came to the mansion, wanting to visit Meng Zixian.

Meng Zixian calmed down and went to the front hall.
