Bai Dazhu stayed outside the door. Hearing their conversation, an evil smile appeared on his face.
He went to the living room and winked at Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu then took Bai Zhenzhu to their room.
“Aunt, didn’t you say that I should help you with the needle? Where is the needle?” Bai Zhenzhu asked.
Mrs. Liu took Bai Zhenzhu’s hand at looked at her eyes, then asked: “Zhenzhu, I know that you want to go to the capital and be a noble young miss.”
Bai Zhenzhu bitterly smiled: “What about it? What else can we do with the things that have become a bubble?”
Mrs. Liu shook his head: “It’s not a bubble yet, there is still a way. No, it can be said that there is only one way.”
Bai Zhenzhu didn’t understand, she stared at Mrs. Liu with confused eyes: “Can you make it clear?”
Mrs. Liu replied: “There are some things that you don’t need to be clear about. Just tell me, do you want to be a Young Missy in the capital?”
Bai Zhenzhu nodded without hesitation: “Of course, I do.”
Mrs. Liu smiled with satisfaction and said: “You go to your room and pack your things now. No, you don’t need to pack anything. Just forget about those things. We will have better things in the future.”
Bai Zhenzhu still didn’t understand: “But my Niang didn’t allow me to go, what do you mean?”
Mrs. Liu said: “Your legs are your own. Just because your Niang didn’t let you go, you will not go?”
“To tell you the truth, we have already made an appointment with Pei Daren. We will meet him at the gate of Qingyuan Town. He will take us in the capital today.”
Happiness immediately appeared on Bai Zhenzhu’s face. But after thinking for a while, what she said ‘us’ seems doesn’t include her father and mother?
“What about my father and mother? What if they disagree—”
Mrs. Liu interrupted her words: “I said us, but without your father and mother. Your father and mother can’t go, only you will go with us.”
The smile on Bai Zhenzhu’s face immediately disappeared: “Aunt, what exactly do you mean? Why can’t my father and mother go?”
Mrs. Liu’s stretched out her finger and poked her forehead, then said with a bad tone: “You are stupid. Your father and mother don’t agree with this matter. If you let them know about this, can you go? We will leave in a moment, they will not know about it.”
Bai Zhenzhu frowned: “How could this work? I am a big living person. If I suddenly disappear, how will my father and mother not know?”
Mrs. Liu showed a mysterious smile: “You can rest assured, I put some medicine to the buns we gave to your father and mother. They will fell asleep after eating those buns. When they woke up, we’re already gone. Even if they want to chase after us, they won’t be able to catch up. When you arrive in the capital, you just have to focus on your business seriously. Even if they come to the capital in the future, they won’t be able to find any waves.”
This idea sounds good, but Bai Zhenzhu felt strange. Mrs. Liu’s smile looked very strange. There were loopholes in what she said, but in the end, she still nodded her head. She doesn’t want to think about other things. She just wanted to get rid of her current identity, leave this shabby mountain village, and live a life that truly belongs to her.
Mrs. Liu asked Bai Zhenzhu to stay in their room first and then went out. Bai Dazhu was still guarding at Bai Erzhu’s room. When he heard a noise inside, he immediately put the lock to prevent them from coming out. After a while, no strange movement can be heard inside, so she pushed open the door to check.
Mrs. Liu also followed in and saw three people lying on the floor. Although they were not dead yet, they were dying. Black blood continued flowing out from the corner of their mouth, which exactly happened before a rat died.
