Rebirth of the Noble Daughter

Chapter 129 129. Dialogue
So Feng Jinlin specially asked Su Cheng to invite "one of my own people".

Since they knew the truth of the matter, they were like grasshoppers on the same boat. How dare they disobey the prince's orders, so the doctor didn't tie any knots when he told lies.

Madam Feng thought that this person was arranged by her father, and although she was nervous, she was not afraid of being exposed.

On the contrary, Feng Jinyao next to her looked a little wrong.

The Su family, the second brother, the military doctor, the assassination, and even Shoubo, everything happened by coincidence, it was surprisingly smooth.

Could it be that someone behind the scenes did this on purpose?

Looking at the four people who were drinking tea outside through the screen, many doubts condensed in their hearts.

Mrs. Feng saw that her expression was not right, and wondered if she hadn't had a good rest these past few days, so she drove her back to the courtyard to rest.

Nothing happened in the left and right courtyards, and she thought of some other things. Feng Jinyao didn't plan to sit still, and ordered Yunxu to take care of her at home, and went to the White Mansion alone.

After entering the courtyard of the Bai Mansion, instead of looking for the eldest aunt and the others as usual, he went straight to the place where Bai Xiang's study was located.

In the study room, Bai Xiang was alone at the moment, Feng Jinyao took a deep breath, walked forward and knocked on the door lightly.

"Grandfather, but you are in the room?"

"Ayao?"

"it's me."

The door was pushed open from the inside, and Bai Xiang looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar granddaughter, full of doubts about her arrival.

"But your father's side is not good?"

"Grandpa, don't worry, father's injury is not serious for the time being, it's me, I have something to tell you."

The little girl has a determined face, and she is even more attractive against the backdrop of the sunlight.

It's just that such a beautiful woman is often a dodder flower, and only by relying on others can she live wantonly.

She was different, the calmness and determination in those watery eyes made Bai Xiang dazed for a moment.

"come in."

This was Feng Jinyao's first time entering Baixiang's study room, which was similar to the layout of her father's study room at home, except that there were many rare books piled up on the rows of bookshelves against the wall.

There is an unfinished picture scroll on the desk, and it is not clear what the picture is.

"Why did you come here? Did you have something to tell the old man?" Bai Xiang spoke first, and didn't intend to go around the bush.

Seeing this, Feng Jinyao's face was quite serious and she didn't talk nonsense, she just spoke bluntly.

"Grandfather, the assassination of my father this time, my granddaughter thinks it is probably related to the embezzlement case of Water Transport."

As soon as these words came out, even Prime Minister Bai became a bit vigilant. How could the little girl guess the movements in the court so accurately? Could it be that someone else told her?

So he asked, "How do you say that?"

"A few years ago, my mother and I went to the south of the Yangtze River once. It happened that Cao Sidu's family had a banquet, and the post was delivered to the inn. It was impossible not to go. So my mother and I went to Cao's house for a banquet. Although the two Zhejiang provinces are rich and far away It’s better than other places, but Cao Sidu’s house can’t just be described as magnificent, it’s so extravagant that even the Duke’s mansion can’t compare to it.”

The Wei family is a dignitary in the dynasty, the most popular aristocratic family, even richer than the Duke's mansion, and I don't know what the Cao family looks like.

Thinking of what Prince Ding said last night, Bai Xiang's expression was not good, and he frowned, "Continue talking."

"The granddaughter looked at it coldly. Those ladies and ladies who came to the banquet had a common attitude towards these things, and I think they would have the same attitude when they came to their homes. My mother didn't like Mrs. Cao's showy temper, and she didn't go to the post after that. We came back not long after, and completely cut off contact with the Cao family."

"Then how can you be sure that your father's assassination has something to do with the Transport Department?"

"My granddaughter guesses that the people behind Cao Sidu must know that my father has the evidence of their corruption, so they will kill him!"

"Evidence? What evidence?"

"After Cao Sidu's family capsized and died in an accident, the Huaiyin Metropolitan Police Envoy was worried all day long. He was afraid that he would be the next to be killed, so he took the account books that had passed through his hands before and wanted to submit a petition, begging his father to save his family's lives. .”

Bai Xiang immediately widened his eyes, motioned for her to hiss, and quietly opened the door to look around. After making sure that no one was overhearing, he hurriedly asked.

"How do you know this?"

This was what Wen Mengsheng told herself in her previous life, but how could she tell her grandfather these things, fearing that her grandfather would not trust her is still a trivial matter, and if it gets bigger, she might think that she is going to be sent to be suppressed by a ghost.

So he lied and said, "The governor of Huaiyin is a good friend of the same department as my father. He also accompanied my mother when I went to Jiangnan to play. He also has a daughter who is older than his granddaughter. The granddaughter calls her Sister Banxia. She sent it in the New Year's gift, and my granddaughter only found out last night."

The Huaiyin Metropolitan Envoy is a third-rank official position. Although he is a foreign official, he has a lot of real power in his hands. Even he would be afraid of being silenced. It seems that Wei Guogong and his party are concerned about the "accidental" death of Cao Sidu Began to have doubts.

"Where is the account book?" Bai Xiang asked anxiously.

Feng Jinyao shook her head, "That account book is a life-saving talisman for the Duchashi family. My granddaughter thinks that he won't hand it over easily. Maybe I have to go to Huaiyin to check it out."

King Ding wanted to investigate thoroughly, but Duke Wei wanted to cover it up. Pulling Feng's house into the water, he thought it was aimed at him, but he didn't expect that there was such a thing in it, does Feng Hai know?Why didn't he mention it before he knew?
For a while, even Bai Xiang was a little puzzled about the direction of this matter.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "Is there a third person who knows about this?"

"I only told my grandfather that the matter is of great importance, and my granddaughter dare not speak nonsense."

"Okay, this matter must not be leaked, otherwise not only your family, but the entire clan in Liangzhou in the northwest, including the Bai family, will also suffer. You go back first, and grandpa thinks of a way."

"Yes."

The reason why Feng Jinyao came here to talk to Bai Xiang was because she wanted to use his influence to deal with the Wei family.

Otherwise, a mere Feng family, or she alone, would not be able to shake this big tree, and only by making the situation more chaotic would it be possible to fish in troubled waters.

After leaving Bai's house, sitting in the carriage, Feng Jinyao closed her eyes and meditated slowly.

Counting the time, that person should have appeared, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth.

Wen family, it's time to pay the price for your evil deeds after you've been hopping around for so long.

Open your eyes again, full of killing intent.

Not long after Feng Jinyao left, Bai Siruo came back from outside.

Knowing that she and Feng Jinyao had missed each other, she felt it was a pity, and was thinking about whether to go to the house to see her uncle's injury, but happened to meet Butler Qin, who walked over with a smile on her face.

"Hello Miss."

"What is Butler Qin doing, so happy?"

"The New Year's gift that the eldest lady asked me to prepare is ready, should it be delivered to your yard, or directly to the Lu family?"
