Bai Lishi squeezed the tea cup in her hand nervously, feeling a little overwhelmed for a moment. She hesitated for a moment before saying:

"I would like to thank my third sister for helping me escape from the Bai family. If your secret guards hadn't been keeping watch in the dark, I wouldn't have been able to fake death so smoothly."

It wasn't until this moment that Bai Lishi felt that she was truly free. From now on, she could make her own decisions and no longer have to be constrained by her family.

This was something she had never dared to think about before.

Bai Zhaoyi noticed her embarrassment and nervousness but didn't say much. Their relationship could only stop here and could not move forward.

After all, they are no longer the ignorant girls they used to be. There are too many grudges between her and Bai Lishi.

"It's just a little effort. If it were someone else, maybe I would take action."

Bai Zhaoyi took a sip of hot tea and said calmly, his tone as calm as if he couldn't make any waves.

Bai Lishi's eyes dimmed slightly when she heard this sentence, but at this time she also understood why the third sister was like this.

The girl smiled bitterly, and then said with a hint of longing in her eyes: "After this period of time, Xiaotao and I will leave the capital. We have been living in the White Mansion for these years, but we have never seen the outside. The world now has a chance."

During the days when Bai Lishi was trapped in the Third Prince's Mansion, she had thought about escaping from the capital countless times, staying away from this powerful place and living a life like a wandering cloud and wild crane.

Instead of guarding a husband who doesn't love each other, watching helplessly how his own sister seduce her husband, and not being able to stay freely in that palace all day long.

Thinking of Bai Yanci, Bai Lishi's eyes moved slightly. She naturally knew that her eldest sister had killed the third prince.

She was a little surprised at that time. She always thought that her eldest sister should be in love with the third prince, but now she took his life without hesitation.

Since then, Bai Yanci seemed to have disappeared out of thin air without any news, but she knew that the eldest sister killed the Queen's only son, and neither the Queen nor His Majesty would let her go.

It's just that her life and death are unknown now.

Call her ruthless or callous. The eldest sister has to bear the responsibility for what she does. Besides, if she was unkind in the first place, don't blame her for being unjust as a younger sister.

When Bai Zhaoyi heard her words, there was a smile on his face and he said, "I'm a little surprised that the second sister can think like this. So what are you going to do with this child? Do you want to keep it with you?"

Bai Lishi pondered for a moment and finally shook her head and said: "I will never give up the life I originally wanted to live for others. This child is still too young now and he will definitely not be able to bear it if he follows me all the way around, so... …”

Bai Lishi didn't say the next words, but Bai Zhaoyi understood her choice.

She chose the second option.

Bai Lishi has indeed changed a lot compared to the past. This kind of change was something she had never thought of before.

"Then let him stay here and be taken care of by the wet nurse. When the weather gets warmer in spring, we can send him to the Salesian Church in Yizhou. What do you think?" Bai Zhaoyi replied cheerfully.

Bai Lishi stood up gratefully and saluted Bai Zhaoyi. She would never forget the kindness her third sister showed her.

"Your Majesty's punishment of thirty lashes with the rod must be within these few days. I don't know if my mother..."

Bai Lishi's joy was soon diluted by this incident. She didn't know whether her mother's current body could still hold on.

The smile on Bai Zhaoyi's lips faded a bit. She looked at the girl beside her with complicated and indifferent eyes, but her words extinguished all her hopes:

"Chen can't escape this time."

Bai Lishi didn't understand the meaning of Bai Zhaoyi's words, but thought she meant that her mother couldn't withstand the thirty canes according to her current physical condition.

Bai Lishi knew that the relationship between Bai Zhaoyi and Chen was very bad, but in order to save Chen's life, she still said with some embarrassment:

"But she is our mother after all. Third sister, can you please..."

Before Bai Lishi could finish her speech, Bai Zhaoyi stood up suddenly, her expression even uglier. She looked at Bai Lishi with a cold tone and said:

"She is not my mother. My mother died in her hands ten years ago. There is only hatred of killing my mother and nothing else between her and me."

The reason why Bai Zhaoyi kept Mrs. Chen around for so long was just for this day, watching her die with nothing and despair.

What's the point of getting rid of her easily?

Wouldn't it be an advantage for her?

Bai Lishi looked at the girl's cold face in shock. What did the third sister just say?

Revenge for killing your mother?

How many other bad things has my mother done?

Bai Lishi did not question whether what Bai Zhaoyi said was true or false, because there was no need to lie to her about such a thing.

Moreover, according to her mother's temperament, if the third sister's biological mother had really threatened her status back then, Bai Lishi believed that Chen would definitely take action without hesitation.

Bai Lishi's throat was a little dry, and she didn't know how to answer her words. She originally thought that their relationship could slowly ease, at least not as stiff as before, but now it seems that their relationship can only stay at Here it is.

"sorry, I do not know……"

If she had known that it was Chen who killed the third sister's mother, she would never have said this just now.

How can anyone be kind enough to save his enemy?

Bai Zhaoyi's face was still a little cold and he said: "Even if Chen is lucky enough to survive, do you think Bai Shaoyuan will let her go? Chen's end has been doomed for a long time. You'd better not waste your efforts. If Madam Chen learns that you clearly know that Bai Yanci was locked up and tortured day and night by the Queen but still remain indifferent, what do you think Madam Chen will think?"

Bai Lishi's body trembled violently. What would her mother think?

Bai Yanci has always been Chen's heart. If Chen knew that her daughter had suffered so much and her life and death were unclear, but her second daughter never even told her, let alone tried to rescue her, I'm afraid it wouldn't be possible. I want to bear the grudge against her too.

"You are right, she will hate you too. After all, Bai Yanci will always be more important than you in her heart, right?"

A dangerous smile appeared on Bai Zhaoyi's lips, and a series of words struck Bai Lishi's heart hard.

She admitted that when she knew that Bai Yanci was secretly taken away by people in the palace, she was very happy.
