When Bai Chuxiao returned to Liuliyuan, Bai Chuyun was already waiting.

"Big sister, I'm here to say goodbye to you. Once I leave today, I don't know when I'll see you again," Bai Chuyun said reluctantly.

Bai Chuxiao touched her head and said, "Come back if you want. Jiangnan is a good place. Learn more by yourself. If you have any difficulties, write to your cousin or me."

He chuckled again and said, "It's a good thing for you to stay away from the troubles of the capital. I won't see you off later."

Bai Chuyun nodded, tears welling up in her eyes. She was reluctant to leave the place where she had lived for so many years.

After Zhao and the others left, the Zuo Xiang Mansion suddenly became quiet. However, Xie suddenly fell ill. She consulted a famous doctor in the capital but to no avail.

Bai Chuwan sat beside Xie's bed and said worriedly, "Mother, what happened to you? Why did you suddenly get sick?"

Xie was so weak that she couldn't even get up. She lay on the bed and murmured, "It must have been that bitch who did it. After that day, my mother suddenly became ill. It must have been her." Then she thought of something else.

She cried out in fear, "Wan'er, you must not let her go. She came back to avenge her mother. She came back for revenge."

Bai Chuwan was puzzled, "Mom, what are you talking about? Are you sick and confused? I have just ignored her all these years and didn't do anything to her. She won't want to kill us, right?"

Then he said slowly, "Mother, the Crown Prince and the Queen Mother both told me to get along well with my elder sister so as to win over the King of Yan. There is really no deep hatred between her and us. Don't say such things in the future. It will not be good if the Crown Prince knows about it."

Xie hurriedly shouted, "Wan'er, you don't understand. She won't stand on our side. We must kill her, otherwise she won't let us go."

Bai Chuwan heard something wrong. Could it be that something happened between her mother and Bai Chuxiao? "Mom, what's going on? Why won't she let us go?"

Xie whispered again, "It's no good for you to know more. You just need to know that her mother didn't die in childbirth, but it has something to do with us. If she knew the truth, she would not let us go. Not to mention winning over the King of Yan, I'm afraid we will have another enemy in the future. The safest way is to kill her."

Bai Chuwan was also surprised when she heard this, "This, but the girls around her are all good at martial arts, I'm afraid it's difficult..."

Mrs. Xie calmed down and said slowly, "Mother, please take your time to plan this matter. You just need to be careful with her."

At night, Xie was lying on the bed with her eyes half open and her hands waving wildly, while the maids guarding inside and outside the house were all sleeping on the floor.

Bai Chuxiao and Lan Xin stood beside Xie's bed, but Xie didn't notice anything and just said randomly, "It's not me, it's not me who killed you, don't come to me, go find him, he is the one who wanted you dead

Bai Chuxiao winked at Lan Xin, and Lan Xin stepped forward and fed a pill into Mrs. Xie's mouth. Bai Chuxiao sat beside the bed and said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Xie, look at me."

Xie looked over with empty eyes.

Bai Chuxiao said in a bewitching voice, "Did you kill Murong Xue back then?"

Xie said dully, "It wasn't me. I drugged her but she didn't die. I didn't kill her."

Bai Chuxiao said in a deep voice, "Why did you drug Murong Xue back then?"

Mrs. Xie still said blankly, "She deserves to die. She blocked my way, so I couldn't keep her alive. But she was very lucky and didn't die even after taking the drug."

Bai Chuxiao asked coldly, "Then how did she die? Tell me..."

Xie's voice was a little panicked, "It was him, he killed her, it's none of my business"

"Who is he? Is he Bai Linan?" Bai Chuxiao shouted again.

Xie suddenly held her head and refused to answer. She just kept repeating, "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know anything, don't come to me."

Bai Chuxiao looked at Lan Xin and asked, "What's going on? Why doesn't it work?"

Lan Xin thought for a moment, "This must be a secret that Xie has buried deep in her heart. One dose of the medicine is not enough to destroy the last line of defense in her heart. I need to give her some more mental stimulation in the next few days."

Bai Chuxiao nodded, "This is easy, let's get someone to scare her later, let's go back first"

She didn't drug Bai Linan first. As the left prime minister, Bai Linan was protected by experts, so it was difficult to do it. Besides, Bai Linan's psychological defense would be stronger. If it was really him, he would not be easily tricked. It would be better to start with Xie first. As for Bai Linan, there was no need to rush. He could just wait.

The next day, Xie woke up and felt even worse. She felt that Bai Chuxiao was standing in front of her bed and looking at her last night, so she quickly called Caiyue, "You guys were watching last night, was there any movement, did Bai Chuxiao come?"

Caiyue asked in confusion, "We servants have been on guard at night, but no one has come."

Xie screamed, "How is that possible? I clearly remember her standing next to me and saying something."

Caiyue said worriedly, "Madam, did you have a nightmare? The eldest lady really didn't come."

Xie was terrified, wondering if it was really a nightmare, but at the same time, it felt very real.

At night, Xie's scream was heard from Ruyi Courtyard, "There is a ghost, don't come over, don't come over"

A white shadow flashed in the room, muttering, "Xie, you caused me to have a difficult labor, and you will die today."

Xie sat on the bed holding her head, "It wasn't me who hurt you in the end. If you want to take my life, go find him. He did everything."

Bai Ying still said angrily, "It's you. Who else has the reason to harm me except you? Stop making excuses."

Xie was in a trance, "It's not me, I'm just an accomplice at most. He was afraid that you would implicate him, so he couldn't tolerate you and wanted to kill you. It's none of my business."

This white shadow was naturally someone Bai Chuxiao asked Qing Shuang to pretend to be. Hearing this, Bai Chuxiao secretly thought it was strange. This person must be Bai Linan. But back then, my mother was just a woman in the boudoir. What could she do to implicate the left prime minister?

Bai Ying asked again, but Xie didn't answer again.

For three days in a row, Ruyi Courtyard was haunted, and Xie was so scared that she looked dazed and became even sicker. Bai Linnan had been busy recently and thought that she was just sick and could be cured slowly, so he didn't take it seriously. But after a few days, her illness became more serious, so he hurried to Ruyi Courtyard.

Bai Chuwan, who was sitting beside Xie's bed, saw Bai Linan coming in, and asked worriedly, "Father, what happened to mother?"

Bai Linan walked over to Mrs. Xie and held her hand, "Xianglan, how do you feel? Why are you so sick? I will ask the head of the Imperial Hospital to come and see you tomorrow."

Xie held his hand tightly and shouted, "There is a ghost, there is a ghost, she is here, she is here to take our lives, Master, you have to be careful too, Murong Xue is back..."

Bai Linan immediately shouted, "Shut up, what nonsense are you talking about? I think you are sick and confused. Xue'er had a difficult delivery, why are you talking about her?"
