Xie still screamed in horror, "It's her. She knows we killed her, and she's here to take revenge."

Bai Linan couldn't let her yell like that, so he quickly stopped her, "I think you are sick and confused, stop talking nonsense, I will ask Dean Zhang to come and see you tomorrow, you take good care of yourself"

Then he said to Bai Chuwan in a deep voice, "Wan'er, take good care of your mother. Don't let her talk nonsense again. It would be embarrassing if it gets out."

He then instructed Caiyue, "You guys are Madam's personal maids, take good care of Madam. Don't let anyone else enter Ruyi Courtyard recently. Madam was talking nonsense today because of her illness, so don't tell anyone else."

Caiyue stammered, "We servants know that we have been guarding the yard recently, but Madam always said that she saw the young lady by her bed at night."

Bai Linan was also confused. It had been many years since that incident, and Xie was suddenly talking nonsense. Could it be that Bai Chuxiao knew something and was secretly doing something? But where did she get such ability and how could she know? Except for Xie, everyone who knew about this matter was dead. It seemed that he had to find an opportunity to test it out. It was time to cut the grass and root it out...

"I will send guards to guard here. Watch carefully recently. No outsiders are allowed to come in." As the left prime minister, he naturally has a group of secret guards around him. There are not many of them, but they are all good fighters. Recently, he sent people to keep an eye on Bai Chuxiao. He has to be on guard against his eldest daughter.

On the afternoon of the second day, Dean Zhang came to the palace, but he was not alone. The Crown Prince, the King of Qi, and the King of Yan all came together.

Bai Linan led everyone in the palace to rush out to greet them, "This old minister greets the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi and the Prince of Yan."

The prince personally helped him up and said with a friendly smile, "No need to be so polite, Left Prime Minister. I just happened to hear Dean Zhang mention it, so I decided to come and see you. I didn't expect to run into my sixth and seventh brothers on the way. Madam Xie, are you all right?"

Bai Linnan replied in a deep voice, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. But my wife is really ill now. I hope Dean Zhang can take a look at my wife."

Dean Zhang smiled and said, "Thank you, Left Prime Minister. Please lead the way."

"My wife is a little confused due to her illness and it is not convenient for her to meet guests. Your Highnesses..."

Chu Tianling looked at Bai Chuxiao and smiled, "Why don't you ask Miss to take us around the mansion?"

Bai Chuxiao was speechless, secretly sighing that the King of Qi was mentally ill, while Bai Chuwan looked at the prince lovingly.

Bai Linan immediately ordered, "Chu Xiao, Wan'er, please entertain the princes."

He smiled again and said, "Then I will not accompany you, Your Highnesses, and will take Dean Zhang over first."

The prince nodded, and after Bai Linan left

The prince looked at his two younger brothers and said with a smile, "Why are the sixth and seventh brothers here?"

Chu Tianze said coldly, "Xiao Xiao is my fiancée. I came to see if there is anything wrong with her. I don't know why Sixth Brother came here today."

Chu Tianling smiled and said, "I haven't seen Miss Bai for a long time, and I miss you very much."

Bai Chuxiao's face also turned colder, "Your Highness, please be careful with your words."

The prince only discovered today that something was wrong between his two younger brothers. He did not expect that his sixth brother would still have such thoughts. Didn’t he always compete with him for Wan’er in the past? Now he has set his eyes on Miss Bai again?

This sixth brother had always been at odds with him, so naturally he was willing to make things difficult for him. "Yes, sixth brother, Miss Bai is the seventh brother's fiancée, so you can't say some nonsense. Didn't you always come to see Wan'er in the past?"

Chu Tianling said calmly, "I just treat Miss Bai as a friend. Could it be that Chu Xiao doesn't want to recognize me as a friend?"

Bai Chuxiao's tone did not reveal any joy, "How dare Chuxiao be friends with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi?"

Chu Tianling was also a little annoyed. He had always been polite to her, but Bai Chuxiao was so ungrateful that she didn't show any good face. However, he always got what he wanted. So don't blame him for being rude.

Bai Chuwan saw that the atmosphere was not right, so she came out and said with a smile, "Wan'er, can you take the princes in and sit down and chat slowly?"

Chu Tianze looked at Bai Chuxiao and smiled, "Xiaoxiao, I haven't been here yet, why don't you take me for a walk? As for the fourth and sixth brothers, you can do as you please."

Bai Chuxiao nodded, and the prince chuckled, "Then you can go ahead. Sixth brother, don't bother them. Why don't you follow me and let Wan'er take us to sit down with them?"

Chu Tianling said coldly, "No need, I remember that I have something to deal with, so I will not accompany His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." After saying that, he turned away.

Bai Chuxiao took Chu Tianze back to his Liuliyuan study. Chu Tianze looked at the books casually placed on the desk and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao actually likes to read military books?"

Bai Chuxiao sat casually and said lazily, "I grew up in the Murong family, so I don't know what's so strange about military books."

Then he asked, "Why did you come here today?"

Chu Tianze smiled and said, "I asked you to go out these few days but you didn't. What happened? Was this Xie's business yours?"

Bai Chuxiao nodded. "My mother's death was strange, and it was closely related to the Xie family. Even my so-called father was involved."

She thought for a moment and looked into his eyes again, and asked, "Chu Tianze, I haven't asked you yet, now that the prince is obviously showing his affection to you, what do you think? As the truth slowly surfaces, the relationship between me and the people in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion is destined to be irreconcilable."

Chu Tianze also looked into her eyes and said firmly, "Xiaoxiao, do whatever you want to do, I will support you. I don't need to rely on the power of Zuo Xiang, and I will not participate in the struggle of those brothers. What they do is not important to me. I just want you to be well."

Then he asked with a smile, "Do you need me to do anything?"

Bai Chuxiao shook her head, "It's just a small matter, I can handle it myself"

He curled his lips again and asked, "But if I really fell out with the Left Prime Minister, it would be bad for my reputation if it got out. Do you really not care at all?"

Chu Tianze chuckled, "Xiaoxiao, you are so outstanding, I am actually worried every day. If you really have a bad reputation and everyone avoids you, I would be happy instead."

Bai Chuxiao snorted, "You don't care, doesn't your mother care either?"

"Xiao Xiao, reputation is nothing. My mother also endured the cold words and insults in the palace. When I was young, my brothers were not very friendly to me. It's only now that they are better."

Bai Chuxiao thought of something and asked again, "Come to think of it, your mother was very strange that day. Did she really not know my grandfather? I originally thought that she wanted to ask for your second sister, but Bai Chuwan didn't want it, so it fell on me..."

Chu Tianze was also puzzled. "Do you find it strange too? I went back that day and asked my mother, but she refused to tell me. Have you heard what General Murong said?"

Bai Chuxiao shook his head. His grandfather rarely mentioned things in the capital to him before. It seemed that he should visit his second uncle someday. Maybe he knew something.

Chu Tianze suddenly touched her head and said lovingly, "Anyway, I am very grateful for this, mother. Otherwise, how could I have met such a good Xiaoxiao?"
