Transformed into a vicious stepmother, invincible

Before setting out to find Chen Banxia, Bai Sui'an wanted to go home and give some instructions to his three children.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw three children standing in a row behind the door.

Bai Sui'an was stunned: "Did you all hear it?"

"Yeah." Lin Yashu stared at her for a long time, "You're crying? Didn't you say you were a tough guy outside?"

Bai Sui'an blinked: "Shh, it's fake."

She is a secret agent, and she has to disguise herself when she goes on a mission, so it's natural for her to act out some emotions.

Lin Rongle stepped forward and tugged at her pants: "Are you really going to town?"

"Yes, the three of you stay home and behave yourself. Don't open the door to anyone, and don't go out to play alone. I'm afraid Aunt Mei and her accomplices will kidnap you all!"

"I'll go to town with you."

"No, you stay at home to protect your younger brothers and sisters." Bai Sui'an refused directly.

Seeing that Lin Rongle still wanted to persist, she simply squatted down and assigned more tasks to her eldest son.

"We just changed your father's clothes today. You are responsible for feeding him and don't dirty the pillows and bedding. Bugs will crawl on them if they get dirty, and if they bite someone, your father's condition might even get worse."

When he heard that his condition was going to get worse, Lin Rongle immediately shook his head: "Then I'll take care of Daddy."

Bai Sui'an patted his head, then called Lin Yashu and Lin Rongkang to him:

"I have something for you to do too. I'll prepare the shrimp and clams. Yashu, just steam them until cooked. And if you like any flavor, you can make the dipping sauce for them."

"Xiao Rongkang's mission is the most important. I want you to not let anyone into the house while you're playing in the yard. Don't let any bad guys in. Protect this home. Do you understand?"

Both of them nodded, and Lin Rongkang nodded especially vigorously. The little child liked to take on big responsibilities, and he became excited when he heard that he could protect the family.

"Don't let bad guys bully my brothers and sisters! Protect daddy!" Lin Rongkang shouted in a baby voice.

"Yes, that's good." Bai Sui'an rubbed his head.

In return, Lin Yashu said sourly: "You really don't like me, right?"

Feeling helpless because of his stepmother, Bai Sui'an stood up and looked at Lin Yashu. When she wasn't paying attention, he took the child into his arms and gently rubbed the top of the head.

This made Lin Yashu blush.

"If you didn't tell me, I would have thought you didn't like me." Bai Sui'an teased her deliberately.

"I never liked you in the first place!" Lin Yashu stomped her feet and broke free from Bai Sui'an's arms. "If you want to go, go quickly. If you come back late, we won't leave any food for you."

"Okay, remember not to open the door for anyone."

After giving one last reminder, Bai Sui'an really left.

The courtyard gate was closed and Lin Rongle locked it from the inside.

Lin Rongkang raised his little hand and patted his sister's face: "Honghong!"

Lin Yashu gently slapped his hand away: "No, don't talk nonsense."

Bai Sui'an walked all the way to the door of Mei's house.

Mei's house is very small. There is a dining table as soon as you enter the door, and the bed is a few steps inside. The furnishings in the house can be seen clearly.

Seeing Bai Sui'an coming in, she stood up and pushed him out: "What's there to see? Let's go."

"Okay. You lead the way and I'll follow you." Bai Sui'an said.

Mei didn't say anything the entire way until they were some distance away from Lijia Village. She finally spoke, "I really underestimated you. I thought Lin Che had spoiled you with all the good food and drink, and you'd become stupid. I didn't expect you to be so calculating."

Bai Sui'an smiled faintly: "Aunt, you praised the wrong person. You should praise yourself. You counted me in first."

"Isn't it just to make some money from your family? There are no men in your family anyway, so what does it matter?"

Bai Sui'an wanted to laugh after hearing this: "What do you mean? Auntie, don't you have no man in your family? Why haven't you lived well for so many years? Why are you sentencing my family before my man has even died?"

"You don't like him, so it makes no difference whether he's alive or dying."

"Then whether he is pregnant or not, it won't affect me supporting the family alone."

This time it was Mei's turn to sneer. "What can you do? You're just that little bird that Lin Che keeps for fun. Without your face, Lin Che wouldn't marry you. It's enough for you to live off the fat of your pants for so long."

Hmm. Bai Sui'an didn't think about showing off, but was curious about Mei's thoughts: "So this is why you want to sell me to Zui Hong Lou, Auntie?"

"As for money, who doesn't want more?"

"Aunt, didn't you have children before? Do you feel comfortable selling children now?"

The Lin family came to Lijia Village late, and they didn't know much about Mei's early life. Moreover, the family didn't like to go out and ask around. If Mei hadn't come to them and said she wanted to sell her child, the Lin family would never have contacted Mei.

Mei did not answer Bai Sui'an's question. She walked quickly, intending to end the conversation with Bai Sui'an.

Chen Banxia’s home is in the next village, not far away.

He was still sleeping soundly when he was suddenly awakened by two people who broke in.

Just when he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Mei's face, he was scared to death when he saw Bai Sui'an coming in from behind.

"No, why did you bring her here?"

Bai Sui'an, who came in later, closed the door directly.

Mei frowned and looked at Bai Sui'an: "Didn't you say that it's none of my business if I take you to find Chen Banxia?"

"Fifteen taels of silver may not be your business, but other things may not be." Bai Sui'an showed an intriguing smile.

Chen Banxia panicked: "Fifteen taels? What fifteen taels? Didn't I give you all my silver? You took it all last night!"

"It's okay. I'll talk about the fifteen taels of silver later. Let me tell you what I want to know first." A dark light flashed in Bai Sui'an's eyes, and a dagger appeared in his hand. "My door is locked anyway. If you don't tell me the truth, I'll chop off your fingers."

"No! You can't do this! You are breaking the law!" Chen Banxia shouted.

Bai Sui'an shook his head: "I saw it when I came in. You are the only one in your house. You two have no evidence. What can you use to sue me?"

Only Mei remained calm. After being tricked by Bai Suian at the door of the Lin family's house, she already knew that she could not defeat Bai Suian.

"Tell me what you want to know, and I will tell you the truth."

Chen Banxia echoed: "I say that too, I say that too!"

"Whose idea was it to steal my clothes?"

Chen Banxia: "She heard from Mei last night that you were not in the main house, so she asked me to take one of your underwear before I left."

"Whose idea was it to sell me to Zui Hong Lou?"

Chen Banxia: "It was her too! She asked me to help you and she would give me a share of the money from selling the child after the job was done. That's why I brought two people to your place."

Bai Sui'an tilted his head: "Oh? Aunt Mei? Tell me about your relationship with "Drunken Red Mansion."

Mei bit her lip, closed her eyes, and thought for a moment before deciding to speak: "It was Zui Hong Lou who approached me. I wanted to make some quick money, so I thought it would be nice to go to those places and curry favor with a wealthy master, but no one wanted me."

"Until the people at Zuihonglou heard I was from Lijia Village, they asked about the village affairs. Later, they talked about the wife of the foreign butcher, that is, you. They said that if I could sell you to Zuihonglou, they would give me 20 taels and find me a good job."
