Chapter 197: Writing a Letter for Help
Bai Yiling seemed to have heard of a life-saving straw, and used his lightness skills to jump lightly and flew towards the gate of the mansion.
When she saw Bai Mufan standing in front of the mansion gate, she rushed up to him excitedly, but seeing that her fourth brother had empty hands, she looked at him expectantly and asked, "Fourth brother, where is the ginseng?", but she saw that her fourth brother had a cold face and did not speak.
She turned her head and looked at Bai Zhu, the personal servant behind her fourth brother, but saw that he also had nothing in his hands. She said, "Bai Zhu, is the ginseng still in the carriage? Take it out quickly."
Seeing that she might climb onto the carriage and look around, Bai Mufan said indifferently: "There is no ginseng, no need to look."
Bai Yiling looked at him in confusion. What did Fourth Brother mean? Didn't he bring back the ginseng?
Her fourth brother's face suddenly darkened, and he became furious. "You came to the barracks to find me that day, telling me to go to the Chen residence to find Man'er and get the ginseng back, but you didn't mention anything about you beating Man'er. I know you've always been concerned about me, but there's no need for you to be so petty as to use the ginseng as an excuse to cause trouble for Man'er."
Bai Yiling was just about to explain that the bitch refused to admit that she had accepted the ginseng, so she planned to teach her a lesson, but she didn't expect that she would just open her mouth and shout: "Fourth brother..."
She was stopped by her fourth brother's shouting, "You are so ignorant that you brought this matter to the eldest princess. If the emperor knew about the ginseng matter, it would affect my future. Do you understand?"
"And even if it weren't for my future, if the Emperor blames the General's Mansion, our entire family will be in trouble. You are so ignorant of the overall situation. You are really vulgar. You are nothing like Man'er, who is well-educated and knowledgeable."
Bai Mufan's words were like a very sharp knife. It stabbed her once, and as if it was not enough, it stabbed her deeply several times in a row, as if it had to see blood, so bloody and cruel.
Bai Yiling looked at the furious man in front of her who looked like an angry tiger, and felt extremely sad.
It turned out that in his heart, I was just a petty, ignorant, and vulgar woman.
Moreover, after knowing her feelings clearly, he pretended not to know. No wonder he always emphasized in front of her that she was his favorite sister and a family member. She still felt warm and felt that they were really a family.
So he was just afraid that she would become entangled with him, afraid that she would beg Dad to marry her. Is she such a shameless woman in Fourth Brother's mind?
Bai Yiling was angry and sad. She wanted to hear what else he wanted to say and how dissatisfied he was with her over the years.
The maid Jianqiu was unhappy after hearing these words. Her Fifth Young Miss was really devoted to the Fourth Young Master. She said angrily: "Fourth Young Master, how can you say that to the Young Miss? If you hadn't sent the ginseng away without permission, the Young Miss would have gone to Miss Chen to get the ginseng back for the Third Young Master's leg injury regardless of the occasion."
The servant Bai Zhu scolded in a pretentious manner: "How dare you! The young master is speaking, so how can a maid like you have the right to speak?"
The maid Jianqiu wanted to say something, but Bai Mufan stared at her coldly, as if he was looking at a dead person. But Jianqiu was also a fierce man, and she was not afraid of him at all. Instead, she stared back at him.
Bai Mufan was instantly angered by her disrespectful behavior and raised his hand to slap her.
Bai Yiling quickly stood in front of the maid Jianqiu and grabbed Bai Mufan's hand that was about to use violence, "Fourth brother, what kind of man is it if you hit a woman?"
Bai Mufan looked down at Jianqiu and snorted, "She is just a lowly and lowly slave, what kind of woman is she?" After saying that, he wanted to pull his hand back, but he tried very hard and couldn't pull it out.
Bai Mufan's face suddenly turned pale. He looked at Bai Yiling with gritted teeth and said, "Let go."
It was not until this moment that Bai Yiling realized that she had never really understood the man in front of her. He himself started as a beggar at the bottom of society and climbed all the way to the position of adopted son of the general's mansion. He was about to take over the entire general's mansion and the Bai family army. But now he looked down on a slave in his words and deeds.
When he was young, he once said in front of her that he would protect her in the future. But when he encountered the matter of Miss Chen from the Shangshu Mansion, he lost all his rationality and did not listen to her explanation at all.
He said in front of her that he liked the soup she made, and coaxed her to make soup often. He kept saying that he liked it on the surface, but secretly poured it away behind her back. It was really hypocritical.
She couldn't help but suspect that all the caring, concern, care and doting he had shown in the past were fake.
Besides, her third brother's leg and life were not important. His own future and face were more important. Going to the Shangshu Mansion was like doing something very difficult. He hesitated for several days before daring to go. When he went there, he not only did not bring back ginseng, but also came back to accuse her with a lot of justification.
How come I couldn't see that he was such a selfish man before?
A sly smile appeared on Bai Yiling's beautiful face with a slight heroic air. She put her mouth close to Bai Mufan's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Have you forgotten, weren't you just a lowly beggar before? Even worse than Jianqiu."
These words really hit Bai Mufan's heart. He stared at Bai Yiling intently, like a cat whose sore spot was stepped on, and tried hard to break free from her restraints again, but still couldn't break free.
Bai Yiling's evil smile deepened, and as soon as he loosened his grip, Bai Mufan took a few steps back due to inertia. The servant Bai Shu hurried forward to steady his master.
Bai Yiling glanced at the two people in front of her, and she cursed domineeringly: "Take your dog and get out of here."
Bai Mufan was very angry and turned away with Bai Zhu, "Hmph, you are simply unreasonable."
He spoke rashly, but Bai Yiling's performance just now made him hesitate to act rashly for the time being. Bai Yiling's kung fu was taught by General Bai himself. Even if General Bai had no time to teach her before, she still had three brothers who taught her one by one.
Unlike him, who could only be guided occasionally, thinking of this, he secretly envied General Bai.
Some people are like this, they would rather blame all the problems on others than admit that their martial arts talent is not as good as that of a woman.
Seeing that the door had been closed, Bai Zhu looked at Bai Mufan worriedly and said, "Sir, if you speak to the Fifth Miss like this today, what will you do if the Fifth Miss writes a letter to complain to General Bai?"
Bai Mufan said with a cold expression: "Give the order, any letter from the Fifth Miss must be intercepted, and the Fifth Miss is not allowed to step out of the General's Mansion."
Bai Zhu bowed his head and said, "Yes, young master, I will arrange it right away."
Soon, three layers of guards inside and three layers outside surrounded the general's mansion inside and outside.
Bai Yiling was still completely unaware that she had been confined to her home. She was concentrating on writing a letter in the quiet study. The letter paper contained all the details about the things at home.
Daddy, Third Brother's injury is getting worse. He urgently needs a hundred-year-old ginseng to treat him. But the unfortunate news is that Fourth Brother has already given the ginseng to another woman. It is impossible to get it back now.
Moreover, if this matter is made public, it will probably cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. The current situation is extremely critical, so your daughter earnestly hopes that you can find another way and think of other ways to solve this urgent problem.
Besides, the fourth brother's attitude is completely different from before, and he is full of deep hatred towards his daughter. In this way, there is no need to mention the marriage between him and his daughter in the future.
Bai Yiling carefully blew the ink dry, as if every action contained endless caution and worry, then carefully sealed the letter in an envelope and solemnly applied sealing wax to ensure the safety of the letter.
She handed the letter filled with worries and expectations to her maid Jianqiu and said softly, "Jianqiu, take this letter to Father in the Northern Frontier as soon as possible."
The maid Jianqiu quickly responded, "Yes, Miss."
They knew very well that the General's Mansion had always had a special channel for sending letters, which could deliver letters to the destination without too much effort. Therefore, at this moment, they never doubted the possibility that the letter would be intercepted. They only hoped that their father would receive the letter as soon as possible and come up with a response plan.
