After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom
Chapter 205 Is this what it means to know a person’s face but not his heart?
Bai Yaoyao looked at Xiaojie, who was already eight years old, and her mind moved. She withdrew from Bai Yanlang's arms.
She walked up to Granny Liu and said in a soft voice, "It was my aunt who was confused and implicated you. Your grandson has nowhere to go now, so come back with me and stay with me. I will raise him up."
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Who knows if this child will come in handy in the future?
The hatred of killing her mother is irreconcilable in the eyes of outsiders, and she is bound to not be able to coexist peacefully with this elder sister who appeared out of nowhere.
Besides——
Her face is really annoying!!!
"Thank you, Miss Fifth. Thank you, Miss Fifth!"
Liu Pozi had just been rejected by Li and was already in despair, but she didn't expect Bai Yaoyao to be willing to take Xiaojie in.
She hated Aunt Qiao for ruining their family, but she couldn't afford to be picky at the moment.
No matter who it is, as long as they can provide their grandson with food to eat and let him grow up safely, that's enough!
"Grandma Liu, I will raise Xiaojie as my sworn brother. When he passes the imperial examination and becomes an official, I will support him as long as he is willing."
Bai Yaoyao's words made Liu Pozi cry with joy. She pulled Xiaojie to kneel on the ground and said, "Xiaojie, thank Fifth Miss quickly. From now on, you will follow Fifth Miss. Do whatever Fifth Miss asks you to do and serve Fifth Miss well."
"Thank you, Miss Five."
Xiao Jie was held down on the head by Mrs. Liu, and he kowtowed three times.
Xu Lingyun glanced at her indifferently, then looked at Bai Youyou, and finally slammed the gavel, sentencing Liu Pozi to exile three thousand miles away.
Mrs. Liu is now over fifty years old and has been exiled three thousand miles away. She will never be able to return in this life.
"Retire!"
Xu Lingyun shouted, got down from the desk and walked towards the inner courtyard.
The case was over. Bai Qingyu looked at the people in the second room with a tired look and said unhappily, "Go back."
It was already midnight and soldiers were patrolling the streets.
The people from Yongning Marquis' Mansion went to Jingzhao Prefecture in a mighty manner, and now they are returning to the mansion in a mighty manner.
Everyone was very tired, and Bai Qingyu was too lazy to scold them. He and Li went back to his own yard.
Bai Youyou, Bai Luochuan and Lu also returned to their respective courtyards. Bai Yaoyao looked at Bai Youyou's back, still feeling puzzled.
Why did this person appear in her book, and what went wrong?
"Miss?"
The night wind blew on her body, freezing her hands and feet. Bi Tao was worried about her health and said, "It's cold at night, let's go back quickly."
Bai Yaoyao came back to her senses and looked down at Xiaojie beside her. "Take Xiaojie downstairs to clean up and settle him down."
Bai Yaoyao returned to her yard according to her previous memory, where a tall green figure stood.
"Yaoyao, how is my aunt?"
Bai Mulin had also received the news before, but he knew what his aunt had done, and he was afraid of being embarrassed, so he did not go to Jingzhao Prefecture.
"Big brother?"
Under the dim light, Bai Yaoyao looked at the man's features which were somewhat similar to Aunt Qiao's, estimated his age, and called out tentatively.
Bai Mulin walked up to her with an anxious look on his face. "How is Auntie?"
"You have committed two crimes, murdering your daughter and hiring someone to kill you. You will be hanged in three days."
Bai Yaoyao's voice choked and she wiped her eyes pretending to be sad.
"how so?!"
Bai Mulin's face turned pale, and he staggered back a step. He said in a daze: "Dad can't save Auntie?"
"We have all the evidence and witnesses, the situation has been decided, and no one can save my aunt now."
Bai Yaoyao sobbed sadly a few times.
When she went there, the case had already come to an end. Even if she had gone there at the beginning and knew the whole process and had solid evidence, she would not have wasted her time saving such a useless person.
"You are not feeling well, go and rest first. I will go find dad."
Bai Mulin left a word and ran quickly towards Bai Yanlang's study.
The night is dark.
Bai Yanlang sat on the chair, staring at the red candle in front of him absentmindedly.
The candlelight flickered, shining on his exhausted face. He pinched his brows. Li He brought a bowl of soothing tea and placed it in front of him. "Master, drink the soothing tea and take a rest. Auntie's problem is beyond repair. No matter how upset you are, you have to take care of your own health first."
Li He didn't know what to say. In his heart, he felt that it was a good thing that Aunt Qiao was gone. The second house would be more peaceful in the future, and there wouldn't be so many dirty things happening for no reason.
Bai Yanlang raised his head, picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup on the table and took a sip, then sighed faintly: "Tell me, how can a person pretend for more than ten years?"
In his impression, Aunt Qiao was a gentle woman, understanding and considerate. How could she remain calm in front of him for more than ten years?
"A person without skin has hundreds of bones, but with human skin, he has thousands of faces." Li He sighed with emotion, "It all depends on which side others are willing to show you."
"Is this what it means to know a person's face but not his heart?"
Bai Yanlang put down the teacup and slumped back in his chair, looking listless.
Bai Mulin rushed in from outside and asked anxiously: "Dad, can you think of a way to deal with my mother's problem?"
"She was so bold as to do such a wicked thing. Now that the evidence is irrefutable, how can a lowly official like me, a sixth-rank official, save her?"
Bai Yanlang glared at him with disappointment.
He has been partial to them, mother and son, for more than a decade, but as a result, they have lost their ambition and become so arrogant that they don't recognize their own identities.
"Dad, can we..." Bai Mulin asked carefully, "Go and ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Ah!"
Bai Yanlang was so angry at his naivety that he laughed, "Did you save the prince's life, or is the prince your father? Others would avoid such a thing. Do you think the prince would blatantly commit the crime of harboring a concubine for her?"
His tone was cold and indifferent. "Also, do you think Jingzhao Yin is just a useless decoration?"
Jingzhao Yin was directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, and even the crown prince had to give it some face. How could the crown prince go against Jingzhao just for an insignificant concubine?
You can figure this out with just your toes!
"My sister has some friendship with the prince, right? Last time my sister was poisoned, the prince was even willing to give her the precious purple Ganoderma lucidum. Maybe..."
"Do you think the prince is willing to use the purple Ganoderma lucidum to save your sister?"
It’s because I was forced into a corner by Doctor Pang.
Bai Yanlang looked at his son, whom he had raised since childhood, with disappointment in his eyes.
He waved his hand and said, "Don't mention this matter again in the future. Just study hard and take the imperial examination this autumn."
Bai Mulin was frustrated here and left in disgrace.
In the dungeon of Jingzhao Prefecture, Aunt Qiao took off the ruby ring on her finger and the gold bracelet on her wrist and handed them to the jailer.
"I want to see the old lady of Yongning Marquis, please help pass on a message.
