Chapter 119 Sending the Buddha to the West?
Inside the carriage, Chu Junting scrutinized the woman beside him, his dark, deep eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.
"You said earlier that if Madam Bai didn't tell the truth today, she would die within three days. Is that true?"
"Does Your Highness think I'm deliberately trying to deceive people?" Song Ruozhen smiled and asked in return.
"Deception is often used when interrogating criminals. If used well, it can not necessarily lead to bad results. However, what you say does not seem to be a lie."
Chu Junting witnessed Song Ruozhen calculate so many secrets of the Bai family with just a few strokes of her fingers, and he thought that the girl in front of him was truly a capable person.
Such skills would be of great use in other areas as well.
"Has Your Highness ever heard of the saying 'good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished'? It's not that retribution won't come, it's just that the time hasn't arrived yet."
"Madam Bai has committed many sins. In order to consolidate her position, she ruined Yu Yueling's life. In order to make her son inherit the title, she wanted to kill Young Master Bai."
Xu Mama and Yu Yueling were friends. She came to the Bai residence as a nanny because she was entrusted with a task, so that she could take good care of Bai Zimu.
It just so happens that Madam Bai poisoned the bird's nest she sent to Bai Zimu, and since Bai Zimu knew that Granny Xu treated him well, and seeing her cough, he gave the bird's nest to her as a reward.
Chu Junting's eyes narrowed. "You've figured it all out?"
"If I can't figure it out, wouldn't I be letting down the prince who specially invited me here?"
Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow. "She committed too many sins. In addition, the relationship between Xu Mama and Yu Yueling was unusual. She had a deep resentment towards her before, and now she died because she failed to harm Bai Zimu. Her resentment has accumulated into a vengeful spirit."
Her resentment was different from Yu Yueling's. Yu Yueling's resentment was more about disappointment and unwillingness, and her unfulfilled wish was the reason why she could not be reincarnated for so long and was trapped in the courtyard.
"Granny Xu harbors a deep-seated hatred for Madam Bai, and now her vengeful spirit has possessed her. If she doesn't sincerely repent and seek my help to break free before tonight, even a god couldn't save her tomorrow."
She had no intention of deceiving Lü Wenxiu.
This kind of person isn't worth it at all. Anyway, she's already said what she wanted to say, which can be considered an explanation to the Bai family. It's her own fault for not believing it; who can she blame?
"I have made my words very clear today. As long as Young Master Bai is determined, he will be able to get to the bottom of this."
I imagine Granny Xu would be pleased to see Young Master Bai get justice for her.
Chu Junting then understood why Song Ruozhen hadn't revealed the truth directly earlier. Since she was an outsider, pointing out a few things was enough.
Bai Zimu will naturally do what needs to be done.
"Normally, whether it's a Taoist priest or a Buddhist monk, when they encounter this situation, they try to resolve it. You don't seem to have any intention of taking the initiative to help resolve it?"
"If someone gets infected, there must be a reason. Some people are worth saving, and some are not."
Besides, the Bai family didn't give me any money, so why should I bother?
Song Ruozhen looked completely at ease. She was paid to solve other people's problems, and she didn't easily help people resolve their issues; everything depended on fate.
"I only gave you that incense stick today because I was repaying the Prince's favor; otherwise, that incense stick wouldn't have been so cheap!"
Chu Junting chuckled, "So, it seems I've taken advantage of you?"
"Considering that Your Highness has helped me several times, it's not too much to give them one. However, when they come to me to help Yu Yueling resolve this issue, I will charge them money."
Once the money is received, one must not be tainted by the Bai family's karma; this principle cannot be broken.
Chu Junting nodded with amusement, "Anyway, it's Marquis Bai who's giving the money, so take as much as you can, no need to be polite."
"Really?" Song Ruozhen exclaimed in surprise. "Then I'll have to ask for the absolute best!"
"Bai Hou deserved it." Chu Junting's eyes were icy cold. "He harmed innocent women for his own selfish reasons. He wanted to take a concubine and have a child, and there were plenty of people willing to do that, but he insisted on doing such a harmful thing."
I believe that Yu Yueling should never have forgiven him. Madam Bai is certainly hateful, but it was Marquis Bai who did all of this.
"You're sending Bai Hou there tonight because you think Yu Yueling will see him?"
"It's hard to say." Song Ruozhen pondered for a moment. "Yu Yueling hates Bai Hou, but she has Bai Gongzi on her mind."
As for Bai Hou, it's best if we never see each other again in this life, and let him regret it forever.
However, you may not know that some ghosts were straightforward in life, while others came to understand things after death.
What if she sees Young Master Bai and then decides to give Marquis Bai a good scolding, or threatens Marquis Bai to treat Young Master Bai well, or else take his life?
That's not impossible. Anyway, once Lü Wenxiu gets into trouble, Marquis Bai will definitely be terrified, and those two good-for-nothings, Bai Junyu and Bai Hou, will have no chance of overtaking Young Master Bai.
Chu Junting: "...Aren't you going to see this through to the end?"
"I only felt sorry for Young Master Bai and thought he shouldn't be treated like this. Besides, he's good-looking, it's such a waste that he was ruined by those guys in his family."
Song Ruozhen chuckled. "Saving people also depends on first impressions!"
Chu Junting only heard Song Ruozhen praising Bai Zimu, and frowned, saying, "Is he handsome?"
Song Ruozhen nodded, "Isn't it handsome? I've heard that Young Master Bai is a famously handsome man."
Seeing the woman's sincere expression, Chu Junting's agitation intensified.
"What's the use of just looking good? As a man, you have to protect yourself before you can protect your family."
"That's true, Young Master Bai is still lacking in this aspect."
Chu Junting's expression softened somewhat.
Seeing that the carriage was about to reach the intersection, Song Ruozhen quickly said, "Your Highness, I still have to go to the Luo family. I won't go back yet."
Song Ruozhen figured her mother and older brother should already be at the Luo family's house. She noticed that Luo Qingyin looked unwell and was very weak when she last saw her.
Having been frightened and caught a cold, she took this opportunity to help Sister Luo recover properly, so that her mother and elder brother could feel more at ease.
"I will escort you there," Chu Junting said.
"Is Your Highness not busy today?"
"not busy."
The guards driving the carriage exchanged a glance. Their lord... wasn't he in a hurry?
There are still a lot of things to deal with in the Ming family mansion!
Luo family.
Not long after Song Ruozhen and Chu Junting entered, they heard a commotion inside.
"Madam Luo, we clearly agreed that Qingyin and Jinsheng would meet, and the marriage was practically a done deal. What's going on now?"
Yao Jinsheng's mother, Xu Shiyi, looked dissatisfied. "You know very well what the Song family did back then. If they hadn't been heartless, Qingyin wouldn't have been delayed for so long."
Now that he's crippled, he thinks he can just dismiss the matter with a casual explanation that it was all a misunderstanding back then? It's not that easy.
"Madam Yao, please don't be angry," Madam Luo quickly said.
"How could I not be angry? My son has always been fond of Qingyin. Yesterday, we finally managed to let the two children meet, but it was ruined like this."
"Madam Song has come today ostensibly to visit, but I suspect she's once again considering a marriage alliance with the Luo family?"
