Chapter 13
"Bai Yunhan, what do you mean by this?" Su Mo went forward and protected Xiao Han and Xia Miaomiao behind her.
Bai Yunhan looked at her, "Miss Su, I'd rather ask what you mean? I kindly took you in, yet you're making trouble here?"
"Who's making trouble? I just happened to urgently go find a doctor for Sister Li, and coincidentally met my friend. If I didn't rush over in time, my friend would have died by that man in black!"
"Man in black? What man in black?"
Xiao Han immediately went forward and said, "It's the real murderer who killed Old Master Bai! He was just about to silence me!"
Bai Yunhan knitted his brows, "Can you remember what he looked like?"
"I didn't see his appearance clearly, he had his face covered!"
The three were brought to the guest room again.
At this time, the doctor was taking Sang Li's pulse by the bed.
"Sister Li, what's going on?" Xiao Han and Xia Miaomiao immediately ran to the bedside. Seeing that Sang Li had red rashes on her face and neck.
"An allergic reaction?" Xiao Han blurted out instinctively.
"Cough cough..." Su Mo deliberately coughed, and said sarcastically, "Someone must have poisoned the osmanthus cake earlier, and Sister Li became like this after eating it!"
Xiao Han and Xia Miaomiao looked at Sang Li. They both knew Sang Li was allergic to osmanthus.
"Doctor, is she really poisoned?" Bai Yunhan went forward and asked anxiously.
The doctor frowned, not knowing what to say.
"It doesn't seem like poisoning... Her body also doesn't seem to have major issues..."
"How can she be fine like this? Forget it, my friend here knows medicine, we won't bother you anymore." Su Mo pulled the doctor aside.
Bai Yunhan picked up the plate of desserts on the table, "Doctor, check and see if this osmanthus cake is poisoned?"
The doctor took the plate of cakes and tested it with a silver needle, there was no poison.
"Young Master, there's no poison in the cakes."
"Some poisons can't be detected by a silver needle!" Xiao Han said, "Doctor, please prescribe some mint and honeysuckle."
The doctor looked at Xiao Han in confusion, "Can these really cure her?"
"Hmm... it might help a little."
At this time, Sang Li sat up from the bed. She looked at Bai Yunhan and said weakly, "Master Bai, I'm really sorry. Su Mo was anxious to find me a doctor, that's why she rushed out. Please don't blame her."
When Bai Yunhan heard her say this, he felt a little petty instead.
"It's normal for Master Bai to be suspicious of us. After all, we're different from you. But we really don't have ill intentions."
"We really didn't kill Old Master Bai. Just now in the woodshed, the real murderer must have thought I saw him, so he wanted to silence me." Xiao Han said.
"Humph, just based on your words, do we have to believe you?" At this moment, a voice came from outside the door.
Everyone in the room looked towards the voice, and saw Lady Bai as well as a group of people who had come to the guest room.
The one who spoke was Second Aunt Yingshuang. Her eyes were red and swollen, evidently she had just cried sadly.
"What do you mean? Do you know them?" Second Aunt pulled Bai Yunxin over, her tone wasn't very nice.
"No... I don't know them." Bai Yunxin immediately lowered her head.
"How can you not know them? We met Miss Bai on the streets yesterday, got along very well at first sight. How can you pretend not to recognize us today?"
Lady Bai then looked at Bai Yunxin. Her tone carried a hint of sternness, "Yunxin, do you really know them or not?"
"I..." Bai Yunxin looked at Sang Li, not knowing what they were up to. But to be safe, she hesitated and said, "I know them. I met them on the streets yesterday, and even chatted with them for a bit..."
"That's right, Miss Bai was very hospitable, she even invited us to visit the Bai residence."
Bai Yunxin pressed her lips together without saying anything, but it was akin to acquiescence in the eyes of the others.
Second Aunt glared fiercely at Bai Yunxin. "Making these kinds of friends all day long. You're grounded for half a month!"
"Second Aunt, it's not wrong for Yunxin to make normal friends." Lady Bai said expressionlessly.
Then she looked at Su Mo and the others, "The young ladies said the real murderer who killed my husband came to the Bai residence just now?"
"Yes, that person used wire. I examined Old Master Bai when I first discovered him, he was killed by someone slitting his throat with wire." Xiao Han said.
"But that person's martial arts skills were ordinary!" Su Mo said. After exchanging blows with the man in black earlier, she felt his martial arts skills were average.
"But my husband's skills were exceptional." Third Aunt Xiaoru said. "Back then, my husband single-handedly rescued me from the hands of bandits. He could take on a whole group by himself."
"My Lady, why don't we do this? We sisters will find the real murderer for you within ten days. It will clear my two friends of suspicion." Sang Li suddenly suggested.
"What if you can't find the real murderer?!" Second Aunt asked aggressively.
"Then... we'll accept whatever punishment my Lady imposes."
Lady Bai paused for a moment before saying, "Alright, I'll believe you for now."
"My Lady! These people are clearly unreliable. Why not report this to the authorities?" Second Aunt was a little dissatisfied.
"That's settled then!" Lady Bai said and left the guest room with everyone.
Third Aunt Xiaoru took a look at them before leaving the guest room.
Second Aunt glared fiercely at Sang Li and the others again before leaving the guest room.
Bai Yunxin looked at Sang Li meaningfully. Sang Li smiled slightly at her, frightening Bai Yunxin into immediately averting her gaze as she followed Second Aunt out the door.
Bai Yunhan walked to the bedside. He apologetically said to Sang Li, "Miss Sang, I'm very sorry about what happened earlier."
Sang Li knew he was referring to confining them. She smiled indifferently, "Master Bai doesn't need to take it to heart. It's normal for you to be suspicious of us."
"It's because you said you were from China Town on one hand, yet said you were from Jiuzhou City on the other, so I..."
The four looked at each other and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Master Bai, we didn't say anything wrong. They are actually the same place, just... one is an alias."
"I see..." Bai Yunhan looked at Sang Li's face, a little uneasy as he said, "You... really are alright?"
"Don't worry, my friend here knows medicine. I'll be fine, thank you for your concern, Master Bai."
"Alright, I'll take my leave first. Let me know if you need anything."
"Okay."
After everyone left, Su Mo immediately asked, "Sister Li, what did you mean earlier? That Miss Bai, isn't she the girl we saw in bed after transmigrating?"
