The next day.
Bai Yanqing thought about it all night, and finally figured it out at dawn. She decided to take the initiative to confess to her father!
First of all, Bai Yanqing didn't want to deepen the gap with her father. Secondly, she felt that the masked man should have no ill intentions towards the Bai Mansion. Tell the head of the Bai family these things as soon as possible, so that if she enters the palace in the future, her father will be more careful.
When Bai Yanqing chose Bai Jingxuan in the house, Kankan'er took Cai Xing and ran to find him!
When people reported to Bai Jingxuan that Bai Yanqing had arrived, Bai Jingxuan was still very surprised! He knew that his daughter had always been a reclusive person who would never come out of her own yard if nothing happened. There was nothing major happening at the moment. How could she be willing to come to him in this bright sun?
When Bai Yanqing expressed his intention to come, Bai Jingxuan was dazed for a moment. He did not expect that Bai Yanqing would take the initiative to explain these things to him! While he was relieved, some warmth flowed through his heart. He had always thought that his daughter was unwilling to get close to him because she resented his neglect over the years. Unexpectedly, his daughter did not resent him, and did not even have any personal emotions. She considered the overall situation and told him these things in detail!
Bai Yanqing didn't notice the change in her father's mood. She told everything from the first appearance of the masked man in the White Mansion, asking her to marry the third prince, to the fact that Lai Feiyan entered the palace.
In fact, before informing Bai Jingxuan about these matters, Bai Yanqing also asked the masked man for his opinion. If he refused, Bai Yanqing would definitely not make any arbitrary decisions.
After all, he was the one who saved Bai Yanqing's life, and Bai Yanqing didn't want him to be in danger. After all, telling her father about that person would be equivalent to letting Bai Jingxuan know that the guards in her house were not supervising well, allowing people with ulterior motives to sneak in. If her father finds out, becomes furious and wants to dig deeper into the investigation, it will definitely threaten that person. If the two of them confront each other, Bai Yanqing will also be in a dilemma!
"My daughter has not confessed to her father before, and she hopes that her father will not blame him. As for that man... my daughter believes that he will not harm the Bai family! Please forgive me, father!"
After Bai Yanqing finished speaking, he knelt down with a pop and kowtowed to Bai Jingxuan.
As the daughter of the Bai family, she actually concealed such a major matter in private, and this matter was related to the safety of dozens of people in the Bai family. Bai Yanqing should be punished!
Bai Jingxuan looked at Bai Yanqing kneeling on the ground, thinking a lot in his heart.
Bai Jingxuan knew very well that Bai Yanqing was indeed at fault this time, but she informed her of the matter in time, and besides kidnapping Lai Feiyan and sending Lai Feiyan to the palace, in other aspects, indeed, he He has never harmed anyone in the White House, and has not revealed any intentions towards the White House for the time being!
Not only that, he also administered medicine to save Bai Yanqing! For this matter alone, he was kind to Bai Yanqing and the Bai family! But at the same time, he also sounded the alarm to Bai Jingxuan, letting him understand that he should be more cautious no matter when and where, even in the seemingly safe Bai Mansion, he should also pay attention to precautions!
Of course, there was one small thing that Bai Yanqing didn't say, that is... the masked man dressed up as a ghost-faced man and scared Ren's urine. Bai Yanqing didn't dare to tell her father even if she died!
"Daughter... I have one more thing to ask my father!"
Bai Yanqing kowtowed again and said to Bai Jingxuan.
"you say!"
Regarding Bai Yanqing's confession, Bai Jingxuan has not expressed his position yet.
"Please father, please stop sending people to investigate Jin Yuzhai! My daughter is worried that... if the Bai family takes action, other interested people will find out the clues. It will not be good for the Bai family or that person!"
Bai Yanqing's consideration is not unreasonable.
Once Bai Jingxuan takes action, those who are secretly spying on the Bai family will naturally turn their targets to Jin Yuzhai. If this is the case, then there must be more than a few people who attack Jin Yuzhai! Not only that, if that person is too busy to take care of himself, not only Jinyuzhai will be in danger, but also what that person wants to do and the people behind it... may be exposed! Moreover, Lai Feiyan has a relationship with the Bai family. If anything is discovered, the Bai family will still be implicated!
Bai Yanqing was thinking about the overall situation, and Bai Jingxuan naturally knew that.
"good!"
Bai Jingxuan's simple words made Bai Yanqing, who had been kneeling for a long time, finally breathe a sigh of relief. She is also worried that her father will not listen to what she says and will act his own way. If there is a real trouble, it will be even more troublesome!
After all, this matter was not Bai Yanqing's fault in the first place. It was that person who repeatedly visited Bai Mansion at night and harassed Bai Yanqing!
As for the man's repeated night visits to the Bai Mansion, Bai Jingxuan did not express his position, so Bai Yanqing had no choice but to kneel down and wait for him to speak!
This matter is big or small, but in a big way, Bai Yanqing led the wolf into the house in vain. To put it more simply, it was Bai Yanqing's private friendship with that person. But it was precisely because of this that Bai Jingxuan was a little annoyed. He was annoyed at his own negligence in not sending more manpower to carry out strict security and control over the place where Bai Yanqing lived. Even more annoying, the security measures of the Prime Minister's Mansion are so vulnerable! An unknown person could actually enter the White House many times without being noticed! How could Bai Jingxuan not be angry?
Apart from being angry, Bai Jingxuan also felt a little guilty. He had neglected her daughter and allowed people with ulterior motives to enter her residence many times. If others find out about this, wouldn't Bai Yanqing's innocence be at risk? Although Bai Jingxuan believed that Bai Yanqing was a good daughter who was well-measured, knowledgeable, and courteous, there was no guarantee that the thief would not have any twisted thoughts about his beautiful daughter!
Thinking of this, Bai Jingxuan became even more angry! He slapped his palm on the desk and knocked off his most expensive inkstone!
Bai Yanqing didn't know why her father was angry. She just thought that her father was angry at her for not telling the truth before! At the moment, I still feel a little ashamed! I saw him smashing his beloved inkstone again, and I felt even more guilty!
Hey, all the mistakes are her fault!
In this way, the father and daughter had their own thoughts, one stood sulking, and the other knelt down feeling guilty.
I don't know how much time passed, but Bai Yanqing's knees had become numb and she had no feeling. Due to the hot weather, Bai Yanqing could only vaguely feel the stars rising in front of her eyes. The next second, Bai Yanqing fell to the ground and fainted.
The sound of falling to the ground woke up Bai Jingxuan who was deep in thought! He quickly ordered someone to call for a doctor, and then quickly called Cai Xing in who had been waiting outside the door for a long time!
Caixing looked at Bai Yanqing who was unconscious on the ground, and felt an inexplicable anger rising in his heart! It's not that she didn't see Bai Yanqing kneel down to apologize just now, but she never expected that her master, the biological father of her young lady, would be willing to let this young lady, who had always been frail and sick, kneel down for so long!
"Master! The young lady's body just happens to be more agile, so you punished her like this, kneeling for more than an hour?! Even if the young lady makes mistakes, she can't be this wrong! Do you know that the young lady's body cannot withstand such a thing? Trouble? You don’t look down on my young lady, do you? It’s not easy for my young lady to save a small life. Sooner or later, you will cause trouble to her again!"
Although Cai Xing became angrier as he spoke, he did not forget to run up, half-kneeling on the ground, carefully lifted Bai Yanqing into his arms, then skillfully felt Bai Yanqing's breath, and finally raised his hand to pinch Bai Yanqing. After a while, Bai Yanqing woke up!
"Miss, you are finally awake!"
There was already a hint of crying in Caixing's tone, and it lost all the sonorous and passionate momentum when he roared at Bai Jingxuan just now!
"I'm fine, it's just that the weather is hot and I'm a little dizzy after kneeling for a long time!"
Bai Yanqing raised the corner of her mouth, smiled softly and comforted Cai Xing.
Bai Jingxuan, who was on the side, looked at Bai Yanqing who opened his eyes, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart! He did not blame Cai Xing for being reckless and overstepping the rules. On the contrary, he secretly blamed himself for his negligence, which allowed his daughter to kneel for so long without realizing it in time!
Because the weather was too hot, and Bai Yanqing had just fainted, Bai Jingxuan was worried that Bai Yanqing and his master and servant would get too hot on the way back, so he asked them to rest in his courtyard until the doctor came to see them. , go back to their own residence!
The news that Bai Yanqing was forced to kneel down at Bai Jingxuan's place, and even knelt until she fainted, soon spread throughout the Bai family. Passed from one to another, all sorts of things were spread!
It is said that the eldest lady offended the master and was punished under the sun. She fainted from heat stroke. It is said that the eldest lady fell out of favor again, and the master was dissatisfied with her and punished her! It was also said that the eldest lady made an unforgivable mistake and was severely punished by the master. She fell to the ground... All kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky!
And hearing these rumors, the happiest person is none other than Mrs. Ren of the Bai family! Previously, she was so angry with Lai Feiyan that she couldn't even lie down. Now when she heard that Bai Yanqing had been severely punished and fell to the ground, she felt so happy that she got up on her own! Later, I heard that Bai Jingxuan had invited a doctor into the house, and Mrs. Ren thought that Bai Yanqing must have been punished badly and was injured. Mrs. Ren was even more happy!
Despite the rumors flying around outside, the little girl in Nianchu Xiaozhu was not affected at all!
At this moment, Bai Yanqing is holding a watermelon and drinking mung bean soup made by Caixing himself. She is enjoying her meal! The doctor came to see her before and said that Bai Yanqing just fainted due to heat and that she could just drink some mung bean soup to relieve the heat. As for Bai Yanqing's knees, it's normal to have some numbness due to kneeling for a long time. If Cai Xing massages them, they'll be fine. It's just that there are some bruises on the knees from kneeling! Apply some ointment for promoting blood circulation and dispersing blood stasis, and the condition will be back to normal within a few days.
"Yan Qing, Yan Qing, Yan Qing! Where else are you injured?"
Bai Furong and her daughter in the next courtyard also received a letter saying that Bai Yanqing had been punished by Bai Jingxuan. Bai Furong was worried, so she pulled Lai Bizhi and ran over!
As soon as he entered the house and saw Bai Yanqing sitting peacefully drinking mung bean soup, the big stone in his heart fell.
"Aunt? Cousin? Why are you here?"
Seeing Bai Furong and her daughter walking in a hurry, Bai Yanqing was confused.
"Not mother yet! She heard the servants in the Bai Mansion say that you were punished by your uncle, fell to the ground, and were seriously ill. This frightened mother!"
Lai Bizhi stepped forward with a smile, took Bai Yanqing's hand, looked up and down, and felt relieved when she saw that she was indeed fine.
"It's just... I accidentally broke my father's beloved inkstone, and was punished by his father by kneeling for a while! It turned out that I was not in good health, and the heat was in full swing, so I fainted from the heat, so I asked The doctor is here!"
Naturally, the inside story cannot be disclosed to outsiders, so Bai Yanqing and Bai Jingxuan discussed this statement to avoid malicious speculation by others.
"But how can an inkstone be as important as his own daughter? My brother is also confused!"
Bai Furong took out her handkerchief with some distress and wiped the watermelon juice from the corner of Bai Yanqing's mouth, her eyes full of tenderness.
Today, Bai Furong, putting aside the past, seems to have come back to life. She has begun to help Lai Bizhi and manage the shop and Zhuangzi under her name. When I have free time, I will make delicious side dishes and bring them to eat with Bai Yanqing. I really love Bai Yanqing as if she were my own daughter.
