Herb Family [Rebirth]

Lu Qi was reminiscing about the taste just now, but when Bai Heng spoke, he came back to his senses in an instant.

He couldn't help but subconsciously stretched out his hand to cover the letter paper, and couldn't help feeling guilty.

Obviously he didn't do anything, but he always felt sorry for Bai Heng, and besides, he didn't want to make Bai Heng look sad.

It was only he who stretched out his hand to cover it. Bai Heng saw his movement, his eyes flickered, and then he took a slight step back, away from the table.

"It's getting late. Go back and rest after you're done. Don't stay up too late. It's not good for your health." Bai Heng said warmly. Although the expression on his face didn't change, his tone was very gentle, but Lu Qi felt a little bit in his heart when he heard it. awkward.

He was a little annoyed that the action just now hurt Bai Heng, so he pursed his lips and said, "I told you before, I found my uncle, right?"

"Ah."

"Uncle is very concerned about me. Since I left the capital, there have been letters from time to time."

"Ah."

"Today I received a letter from my uncle again." Lu Qi paused, then said with some hesitation: "He... hopes that I can get married."

Seeing Bai Heng's heart hurt but still in high spirits, Lu Qi couldn't help but tell the whole thing.

Bai Heng was stunned when he heard the words, recalling the expression on Lu Qi's face just now, he realized why the other party was so ferocious and anxious.

The corners of her lips could not help but rise, she walked to the side and sat down and asked, "Then what did you say?"

"Honestly." Lu Qi touched his nose and said.

Bai Heng raised his eyebrows, and said in surprise: "Honestly? Are you sure your uncle can accept it?"

"Let me first say that there is someone I like, so that my uncle won't keep thinking about finding someone for me, and then I will slowly reveal the truth."

"That's okay." Bai Heng said in a deep voice, but at the same time, he was thinking in his heart that the problems Lu Qi encountered now are the problems he will encounter in the future. He still has Bai Mu and the old man behind him, so what should he do? What about explaining to them?

The sweetness and warmth of these days flashed through Bai Heng's mind one by one, he lowered his eyes, because he was greedy for this feeling, so he subconsciously didn't think about the reality.

But now that Lu Qi brought up this topic, Bai Heng had to start thinking.

Within a year or two, his mother will definitely start to make arrangements for him to marry him. Now that he has made up his mind with Lu Qi, it is impossible for him to marry another girl.

But how would he speak to his mother?

And grandpa, if he knew his feelings for Lu Qi, how would he react? ...

Bai Heng and Lu Qi were relatively silent in the suddenly subtle and gloomy atmosphere.

After a while, Bai Heng asked softly: "Third Brother, what if Uncle doesn't accept me?" When he asked, he was really uneasy.

"Xiao Heng, you are the most important thing to me." Lu Qi got up and walked in front of Bai Heng, then squatted down, holding the other's hands on his knees with both hands, and said solemnly.

Bai Heng pursed his lips and did not speak.

"When I was most difficult, you were by my side; when I was most helpless, you were by my side; even when I was in danger, you were by my side, you saved me and healed me , It’s not an exaggeration to say that my life is yours.”

"It's not so exaggerated." Bai Heng said gruffly.

"Xiao Heng, I'm serious." Lu Qi said softly.

In fact, Lu Qi couldn't think of these questions that Bai Heng could think of. When his uncle wrote to him, he was forced to think about his and Bai Heng's future.

Bai Heng has now taken over the position of head of the family, presumably marriage will be put on the agenda soon, although he is sure of Bai Heng's feelings for him, but Bai Heng is different from him, behind Bai Heng there are Mrs. Bai and Bai old man.

He couldn't willfully ask Bai Heng to cut off his ties with his family like him. Bai Heng was favored since childhood, highly valued by the family, and also received the family's resources and cultivation.

It can be said that the Bai family has made achievements and cultivated Bai Heng. Now that Bai Heng has developed, it should be rewarded to the Bai family.

The joy of the past few days made him dizzy. Now that he calmed down, Lu Qi began to plan for the future of the two of them. ...

******

After Bai Yan fell, Mr. Bai began to study Bai Yan's condition.

He gave the letter to Bai Heng, and also hoped that Bai Heng could fulfill their unfulfilled wish - to find the antidote.

In addition, Duo'er, the maid who was locked in the firewood room, still hasn't opened her mouth so far, so Mr. Bai is impressed by her toughness.

But at the same time, he wanted to pry the other party's mouth even more.

How could it be possible for a servant girl to have such a backbone without doubting her?

So Mr. Bai sent someone out to inquire about the origin of the maid.

In the end, it was found out that the servant girl had something to do with Aunt Xiao.

Xiao Rou'an had already been sent away by Bai Heng, and Mr. Lu did not go beyond Bai Heng to deal with this matter.

He just put the results of the investigation in front of Bai Heng.

Looking at the investigation results, Bai Heng raised his eyebrows in surprise. Is this maid related to Aunt Xiao?Then why did she attack Bai Yan again?Could it be that there is a fight in the nest, and you have turned against yourself?

On the other side, the servant girl who was tortured in the firewood room without speaking, tried her best not to make a sound or cry out in pain.

Little did they know that her forbearance made people feel more ghostly.

You are a servant girl, not a dead man. You are more able to withstand torture than a dead man. You want people to believe your innocence?Are you kidding me?

The dead soldiers were specially trained to strengthen their tolerance for torture, lest someone who couldn't bear the torture would start attacking in a few moments.

No matter how bad it was, the dead man still had poison in his back molars. He felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he crushed it and closed his eyes. After 1 years, he became a hero again.

Therefore, it is impossible for ordinary people to be professionally trained to survive torture like a dead man.

But Duoer, a little maid, did it.

She also learned that she didn't show her secrets, and she was trying to get close.

The old white steward who was in charge of the torture couldn't stand it any longer. No matter how long this baby's brain is, even such a number of tricks can harm people. No wonder the young master caught one right.

He couldn't help but said: "Little girl, don't be so stubborn. With your arrogance, I don't believe you are innocent, old man."

Duo'er frowned slightly when she heard this, and then her eyes widened as if enlightened for a moment.

Seeing that she finally showed a different expression, Manager Bai hurriedly asked, "Quickly tell what you know, so as not to suffer further."

"Hey, what do you want me to say? I'm just a little servant girl. If you don't believe me, you insist on chasing me and beating me. Now I'm still saying the same thing, stop talking nonsense, I don't know anything." Duo'er bit her teeth tightly and refused to speak .

The old manager Bai frowned, and didn't bother to talk nonsense, he walked out of the firewood room and continued to have Duo'er tortured.

The old steward Bai picked up the handkerchief and wiped his hands, a little impatient with Duo'er's ignorance, and was thinking about whether to report to the old man for some medicine for better use, when he saw Bai Heng walking over.

"Officer Bai, let me take a look at that maid, how is your interrogation going?" Bai Heng said.

"Young master, that girl has a very hard mouth, and this old servant is still trying to pry her mouth open." The old white steward said with a sigh.

"Well, let me try it." Bai Heng said lightly, and the old steward Bai asked someone to lead Bai Heng in.

When Bai Heng entered, the interrogation inside was coming to an end, and Duo'er managed to gain some time to rest, and when she closed her eyes and rested her mind, waiting for the next wave of torture, a footstep that was different from what she heard in the past few days came into her ears.

Duo'er opened her eyes, raised her head slightly, and saw a figure standing against the light at the door.

She squinted her eyes and tried to identify for a while, before she recognized that the person standing at the door was the current Patriarch of the Bai family, Bai Heng.

She sneered disdainfully, the Bai family is really messing around, how can a 13-year-old boy take on this important task?

Could it be that Mr. Bai came up with a trick?Introduce a young man to deceive the world and confuse the public, and he himself hides behind and enjoys the benefits, making the most of the benefits.

Isn't this the usual style of Mr. Bai?

Duo'er thought viciously, staring straight at Bai Heng with a pair of eyes.

Bai Heng didn't expect that this Duo'er could endure so much, and she was still in high spirits at this time.

He walked into the firewood room and stood in front of Duo'er. Duo'er's hands were stretched apart and bound to a beam beside him. He was half-hanging, with his feet hanging powerlessly on the ground.

"Your name is Duo Er?" Bai Heng asked.

Duo'er didn't answer, just sneered.

"It doesn't matter if you don't answer, let me guess, are you Alando from Miao Guang's team?"

Duo'er's pupils shrank slightly for an instant, but she didn't change her face, as if she didn't hear Bai Heng's words.

"You probably don't know. Some things happened in Miaojiang a while ago. The owner of the largest Miao village in Miaojiang seems to be Miao Guang? I heard that he was killed." Bai Heng said lightly.

"You nonsense!" Duo'er, who wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb, couldn't help shouting angrily when she heard this.

"If I'm talking nonsense, how do I know that your real name is Alando?"

Duo'er bit her lower lip tightly, and stared at Bai Heng fiercely.

"You were deceived. It was not my grandfather who killed Miao Guang's father. The person who killed him was someone you trusted in the past. That's why Miao Guang was betrayed at this time."

Duo'er listened to Bai Heng's eloquent talk about the past, and was both surprised and suspicious. How did Bai Heng know all this?

"I know you hate the Bai family, but you really found the wrong person, and the murderer is someone else."

"...How do I know you're not lying to me?!" Alando was silent for a while, then said in a hoarse voice.

"Whether you believe it or not, it doesn't matter much to me. To be honest, if I want you to speak up, there is a way, it depends on whether I am willing to do it." Bai Heng glanced at Alando, his eyes were cold and ruthless , as if looking at a dead body.

Alando didn't expect that the young boy in front of him would have such eyes, just like a lone wolf in the wasteland, but his whole body has a different warm aura from that of a lone wolf.

Such two extreme temperaments actually blended well in him.

Alando was sure at a glance that this was a young man with a story, who was completely different from the young master of the Bai family she had inquired about.
