Bai Zheng frowned deeper and deeper. At this thought, she couldn't help but shake her head and mutter, "It can't be."
"What can't be?" Bai Nianyin saw that she didn't answer his question but got lost in her own world and uttered such a cryptic remark. Immediately, he pressed on.
Bai Zheng looked up at Bai Nianyin, who was staring intently at her. After hesitating for a while, she finally asked, "Brother, don't you think Big Sister looks like..."
"Looks like what?"
Another basin of bloody water was carried out. Bai Nianyin's eyes tightened, and he heard Bai Zheng exhale softly and say leisurely, "She looks like she's giving birth."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Bai Nianyin was so angry that he pushed Bai Zheng away. His face turned ashen. "What time is it, and you still have the nerve to joke around here! Bai Zheng, are you really heartless? Sheng'er is at least your own cousin!"
Bai Zheng frowned and shook her head helplessly.
It was no wonder that Bai Nianyin reacted like this. After all, ninety percent of his life had been spent on the battlefield with a bunch of tough guys. He knew nothing about a woman giving birth.
Bai Zheng was different. Not to mention the physiological education she received when she was a child, she had also seen many similar scenes on TV.
Based on the current situation, as long as there were some shrill cries from a woman, it would be exactly like Bai Sheng giving birth.
It's just that, judging from her current situation, she wasn't giving birth to a full - term baby.
At this thought, Bai Zheng smiled slightly and said to Bai Nianyin, "Brother, instead of getting angry with me here, you might as well go back and question the doctor carefully to see if Big Sister had a miscarriage..."
Before Bai Zheng could finish her words, she saw Bai Nianyin's face suddenly turn deathly pale. He stared at her with a fierce look in his eyes as if he wanted to eat her.
The words got stuck in Bai Zheng's throat. Before she could say them, she heard Bai Nianyin grit his teeth and almost hiss through his teeth, "Bai Zheng, if you dare to slander Sheng'er again, just try!"
The General's Mansion had just had a Bai Di who was unchaste. If Bai Sheng's innocence was also questioned, then the General's Mansion would really become the laughingstock of the entire Yongding City!
Bai Zheng stared blankly at the enraged Bai Nianyin, blinked her eyes, and suddenly burst out laughing.
"Hahaha..."
Bai Zheng laughed louder and louder. Her body began to sway back and forth, and she could hardly straighten up.
This sudden change caught Bai Nianyin off guard, and he was also a bit annoyed. So he shouted angrily, "What are you laughing at!"
"I'm laughing at you, Brother. You're a real man, but you can't handle things." Tears welled up in the corners of Bai Zheng's eyes from laughing. She gently wiped them away with the back of her hand and looked at Bai Nianyin out of the corner of her eye. "You don't even have the courage to prove whether what I said is true or not, but you're eager to deny it.
Do you think that as long as you keep denying and not accepting those things that have happened, you can pretend they never happened?"
Hearing her words, Bai Nianyin involuntarily took a step back.
But Bai Zheng immediately stepped forward, staring straight into Bai Nianyin's eyes. "Today's incident really has nothing to do with me. The bracelet on that girl's hand was not secure and suddenly broke, scattering round beads all over the floor.
Big Sister accidentally stepped on them and hurt herself like this.
Otherwise, Brother, do you think that with Uncle's hatred for me, if something happened to Big Sister, I could still stand here safe and sound?"
Hearing this explanation, Bai Nianyin opened his mouth.
He really wanted to say that she was so cunning that she might have used some sleight of hand at that time to deceive Bai Yizhang.
But looking into Bai Zheng's bright eyes when she looked at him, he just couldn't say those skeptical words.
"I know Brother doesn't believe me. After all, Big Sister is your own sister, while I'm just a cousin. We're not as closely related, so I don't expect you to side with me without knowing the whole truth.
I just hope that before you come to settle the score with me, Brother, you can find out the truth of the matter first, so as not to be used by others again and again." After Bai Zheng finished speaking, she gave a self - deprecating bitter smile.
Bai Nianyin frowned tightly.
Bai Zheng's words put him in a difficult position. Although he just couldn't believe that an unmarried girl like Bai Sheng would suddenly have a miscarriage, weren't there few things in the past two days that shattered his previous perceptions?
The General's Mansion was never the upright and patriotic mansion he thought it was. Bai Yizhang was not the heroic and loyal general he thought he was. Bai Sheng and Bai Di were not the gentle, kind, and timid sisters he thought they were.
So why was it impossible that Bai Sheng had an affair behind his back and got pregnant?
At this thought, Bai Nianyin somehow asked, "How can this matter be investigated? If Sheng'er really had a miscarriage, Father and Mother will surely block the news. They didn't let me know about those previous things, and they probably won't let me know this time either."
Hearing this, Bai Zheng was amused.
Sure enough, Bai Nianyin was a tough guy who was only suitable for fighting on the battlefield and not for dealing with the intrigues in the inner courtyard. If others didn't tell him about such things, he didn't know how to investigate?
Before Bai Nianyin got angry again because of her laughter, Bai Zheng finally spoke, "The doctor may lie to you, but the prescription can't be faked.
Brother, as the eldest young master of the General's Mansion, it's always convenient for you to enter and leave the kitchen. Just wait until the doctor writes the prescription, then sneak into the kitchen and secretly take the prescription from the girl who is boiling the medicine. Then you can just ask any doctor outside.
If you really can't steal the prescription, you can collect the dregs of the medicine Big Sister has taken and take them outside to ask a doctor. It's the same."
"You..." Bai Nianyin stared blankly at Bai Zheng. "Where did you get so many tricks!"
Bai Zheng stuck out her tongue. "Brother is an eagle. Naturally, you're not as flexible as I am, a little sparrow, in this small inner courtyard."
Hearing this, Bai Nianyin's heart trembled slightly. He couldn't help but look back at Bai Sheng's room in a complete mess. For a moment, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
If it was really found out that Bai Sheng had a miscarriage this time, he really wouldn't be able to stay in this dirty General's Mansion for a single moment.
But, if Bai Sheng didn't have a miscarriage...
"If it's found out that Big Sister didn't have a miscarriage, it's a serious crime for me to slander her. You can do whatever you want with me." Bai Zheng curved her lips.
Bai Nianyin gave her a deep look, said nothing, and simply flicked his sleeves and left.
Inside the room, basins of bloody water were still being carried out. Bai Zheng watched, and the smile on her lips grew deeper.
"Qing Shao," she called out. "Ask the Marquis to help me investigate Bai Sheng carefully."
It seemed that her big sister was hiding a lot of interesting secrets.
