C35 Wishful Thinking

After stepping out of the Baili’s Mansion gate, Zhao Guangyue immediately felt relaxed. Today's matter had been accomplished!

If it wasn't for a reason, Zhao Guangyue definitely wouldn't have climbed onto the Baili’s Mansion's gate, which had stolen half of his family's property.

Just last night, the patriarch of Lee Family found him.

Zhao Guangyue had long heard that the Lee Family Master's daughter, Li Xinci, was beaten up by Baili Chenyang in the dungeon. Then, because she knew that Baili Ange not only didn't have all of his skills crippled, but had also become a heroine of the city, she died without a breath's worth of effort.

Lee Family Master only had one goal, and that was to take revenge for his most beloved daughter.

The Lee Family Master and Zhao Guangyue were both part of the eight great families, and the strength of the eight great families could never compare to the four great families. Thus, they were originally not in the same faction as Baili Chenyang.

On the surface, they naturally didn't dare to make Baili Chenyang an enemy, but they could secretly join hands.

The Lee Family Master had lost his most beloved daughter, so in order to take revenge, he would let Baili Chenyang have a taste of his most beloved person; and what Zhao Guangyue needed to do was contact his sister Concubine Zhao, who was also known as Baili’s Mansion, and have her act as a spy to constantly monitor the movements of Baili Ange and Baili Chenyang.

One of them could avenge their daughter, the other could avenge themselves, take what they needed, and achieve a win-win situation. Thus, the two of them came to a consensus.

Therefore, Zhao Guangyue had no choice but to fakely ask his sister for peace. He had to endure for a while just to get more.

Of course, Zhao Guangyue did not tell his sister about the deal between himself and the Lee Family Master.

After getting rid of Baili Ange, they would then get rid of Baili Chenyang.

Among them, Concubine Zhao and Baili Anle were there. They knew that the killers sent by Zhao Guangyue were going to assassinate Baili Ange that night, and the reason they chose to make a move that night was because of the presence of Wen Qi in the Baili’s Mansion.

"The guests of the Baili Family Palace coveted Miss Baili's beauty and harbored malicious thoughts. They barged into their rooms at night, only to fail to commit adultery and seek for their lives", such a perfect framing, Concubine Zhao felt that she and her children were going to turn the tables on her that night, waiting for news of Baili Ange's assassination.

But after midnight, there was no sound coming from the quiet garden. Concubine Zhao called her personal maid to go there and ask around. The maid said that Baili Ange's house was dark and there was no sound.

Concubine Zhao felt that the matter was too strange. How could things be so quiet? Could it be that the people she sent had not succeeded?

Since it was inconvenient to ask about this, he could only wait until dawn to see if Baili Ange was safe.

With this torment, the mother and daughter couldn't sleep at all. They closed their eyes and stayed awake until dawn.

The next day, the mother and daughter pair went to the dining hall early. They just wanted to know if Baili Ange was still alive.

Only Baili Chenyang, Wen Qi, Qing Qi and Xiaoliu knew that Baili Ange was assassinated last night. Baili Chenyang had already ordered that this matter should not be known for the sake of Eldest Miss's good name.

Therefore, before they saw Baili Ange, Concubine Zhao and Baili Ange were not allowed to know even half about what happened last night. It was only after two incense sticks of time, when Baili Chenyang and Baili Ange supported the old lady and Qing Qi into the seat.

Seeing Baili Ange appear safely in front of her, Concubine Zhao felt both surprised and guilty at the same time. She didn't understand the situation and signaled Baili Anle to keep quiet.

"Greetings to the old lady." Concubine Zhao gave a token greeting to Mrs. Shen.

"Good morning, Grandmother." Baili Anle also greeted.

"Good morning big brother, good morning big sister." Perhaps because he felt guilty for being a thief, Baili Anle surprisingly greeted the Wu siblings.

"Why are you being so polite today, An Le? That's more like it!" Even the old lady felt that Baili Anle was different from before. Although she didn't like Mrs Zhao, An Le and Immersed Star were still her grandchildren after all. She still felt sorry for them.

"How was your sleep last night?" Baili Anle asked Baili Ange.

Hearing Baili Anle's question, Baili Ange looked at Baili Chenyang, his eyes seemed to be asking: Was it possible that they sent someone to do what happened last night?

"Thank you for sister's concern. I slept very well last night and slept until dawn. Did sister and concubine not sleep well?" "These black eye circles are too serious. Haha, they're turning into panda eyes!" Baili Ange glanced at Baili Anle and then looked at Concubine Zhao. Could this really have something to do with them?

"The two of us had a good time last night and forgot the time. I didn't know when we fell asleep, but I didn't expect our eyes to swell up in the morning. Thank you for your concern, Eldest Miss!" Concubine Zhao said with a smirk.

Baili’s Mansion's dining table was always like this, where one had to engage in a war of words before eating.

Because Wen Qi knew what happened last night, his expression didn't change at all. Even when he met Baili Ange's eyes, his expression didn't change at all, causing Baili Ange to mistake him for sleepwalking.

After breakfast, Wen Qi had to go to the market to buy some things the school needed. Therefore, the topic of which things were more expensive to buy ended during breakfast.

Baili Chenyang, Baili Ange, and Wen Qi. The three of them were definitely a skilled performer. If they were to live in the Modern World, this year's "Oscars" would definitely be given to them.

"Big brother, I feel that the matter last night definitely had something to do with Concubine Zhao and her daughter. Look at how they acted when they were eating in the morning. They obviously looked very surprised to see that I was fine." "Oh right, how's the search for that person going?" Seeing Baili Chenyang coming back from outside, Baili Ange stood up from the soft seat in Baili Chenyang's room and walked up to him.

After breakfast, Baili Chenyang started to investigate who ordered the assassin to assassinate Baili Ange and only came back now.

"We caught twenty people with moles on their chins, but they are all honest people from small families. If it's really as we suspected, then they shouldn't be able to recognize Concubine Zhao. Seems like it's not going to be easy!" Baili Chenyang frowned.

"Big brother, why don't we do this …" Baili Ange stood on his tiptoes and whispered a few words into Baili Chenyang's ear.

"Alright, I'll get someone to do it." Ye Zichen didn't know what Baili Chenyang heard from his sister, but his eyes immediately lit up.
