Chapter 44: The Day Has Eyes
Bai Aoxue saw the Mumian go out then slowly walked into the room of Bai Suxue with Hongxiu.
Along the winding blood, Bai Aoxue looked up, while heard Hongxiu’s sniff.
“Siii…”
No wonder Hongxiu would behave like this, even Bai Aoxue was surprised a little bit.
Full of hands and feet were piled on Bai Suxue’s bed. Some of them scattered on the ground still with blood stained on.
Bai Aoxue knew that these were newly cut off within two hours.
The blood did not solidify, and ghastly bones were particularly gloomy in this lighted room.
Hongxiu’s face suddenly turned pale when she saw this. Her hands and feet were involuntarily cold. So many hands and feet definitely belonged to at less a hundred lives.
Although she also killed people, she has never seen such a scene like purgatory. Thinking of this, Hongxiu looked at Bai Aoxue since she was afraid that Bai Aoxue cannot stand such stimulation.
But Bai Aoxue’s move shocked Hongxiu who was originally worried about her.
She saw Bai Aoxue kick the broken arm at her foot and slowly move towards Bai Suxue who hid at a corner.
Such a scene seemed to have no influence on her. So many broken arms and feet were like fake to her. Hongxiu looked at Bai Aoxue who was unusually calm and fearless.
Bai Aoxue was becoming more and more mysterious in her heart, and she was more and more admiring Bai Aoxue’s imposing manner in front of danger.
What Hongxiu didn’t know was that once Bai Aoxue could kill a person just for a steamed bun. Her hands stained with blood from countless people at the age of fifteen.
In the hard environment where only one could survive from three thousand, she unruly lived to the end with firm. How can such a scene scare a woman who has survived from thousands of bodies?
Hongxiu looked at Bai Aoxue with admire and held her in increasing awe. Suppressing the desire to vomit, Hongxiu imitated Bai Aoxue at every step.
Bai Suxue, who was in the corner, has already been struck dumb.
Originally, Steward Bai told her that those killers would take act tonight. She, who was waiting for the result nervously, saw mountainous hands and feet after she had dinner and returned to the room.
Although Bai Suxue has been heartless and cruel since she was young, she has not really seen such a bloody and violent scene.
And all this was obviously directed at Bai Suxue. How can she not be panic?
Now Bai Suxue even can’t be bothered by the arrival of Bai Aoxue.
Bai Aoxue looked at Bai Suxue who was obviously frightened: “Sister, are you being retaliated since you did something bad?”
If it were at ordinary time, Bai Suxue would definitely snap back. However, Bai Suxue was staring at the door without saying anything.
Bai Aoxue didn’t like to hit a person when he was down. She wouldn’t use such a method to against Bai Suxue. She was thinking about who was provoked by Bai Suxue to revenge himself on her like this.
While Bai Aoxue was thinking, Bai Suxue’s small courtyard also ushered in the second group of people.
When Bai Qiwei entered the door, he suddenly saw piles of hands and feet, which even made his heart stop.
“What is going on here? How can there be so many people’s hands and feet?” Trying to calm down, Bai Qiwei asked with a trembling voice.
While Bai Suxue heard the voice of Bai Qiwei, her defocused eyes flashed a glimmer of light. She crawled and even rolled to Bai Qiwei.
“Father, I’m so scared. I don’t know why there are so many hands and feet. I almost scared to death. I’m glad you’re here, father.” Bai Suxue said in tears.
Looking at Bai Suxue who was holding his thigh, Bai Qiwei found that almost all of the blood on Bai Suxue’s hands was smeared on his robe. He unpleasant frowned.
Just when Bai Qiwei wanted to speak, Steward Bai who came in later interrupted Bai Qiwei.
“This…how is this possible?” Bai Lei saw those hands and feet on the ground and an appalling head on the table.
Because of the arrival of Bai Qiwei, the room was bright. At the beginning, no one noticed that there was a human head on the table, but now following the eyes of Bai Lei, everyone saw it.
That horrified face with a pair of rounded eyes was easy for people to imagine what he saw before he died.
Bai Lei was not afraid of the head. He was frightened because he just talked with this person who was hired by him in the morning!
But now there was only a head left. Bai Lei roughly understood what happened.
“What’s wrong?” Bai Qiwei asked Bai Lei with a puzzled look.
On the other hand, Bai Aoxue guessed something from the shocked expression of Bai Lei.
When Bai Lei heard the question of Bai Qiwei, he hurried got back to himself and answered: “Nothing… Nothing. I was just shocked by that head when I came in.”
Bai Qiwei nodded without suspicion. He was also shocked when he first came in. It was inevitable for normal people to be shocked by such a scene.
And Bai Suxue, who held Bai Qiwei’s thigh, repeated like being possessed: “So scary, so scary….”
Bai Qiwei knew that Bai Suxue wouldn’t go back to normal in short a time, so he requested Bai Lei: “Take Suxue to her mother’s small courtyard to recuperate. This thing must be strictly investigated and shouldn’t be released to the public!”
It related to the fame of Prime Minister’s mansion. Bai Qiwei absolutely didn’t allow his official career to be stained. If this thing was released, it would indeed have an impact on him.
After listening to Bai Qiwei’s words, secretly clenching his fists, Bai Lei ordered people to help Bai Suxue stand up, his eyes full of distress.
Bai Aoxue, on the other side, took everything in eyes.
“Father, should we let it go like this? This thing has such a big impact. If we just let it go, how many people in the mansion dare to keep working? Father, you need to give everyone a reasonable explanation.” Standing in the corner of the room, Bai Aoxue squinted lazily and said so.
It was not until Bai Qiwei heard the voice of Bai Aoxue that he discovered that there was someone left in the room.
Bai Aoxue stood in the corner of the room. She looked so leisurely as if what just happened was an illusion. She didn’t panic at all and even questioned him.
Bai Qiwei also felt Bai Aoxue reasonable. If such a thing cannot be explained clearly, it would leave people in the mansion scarred. Even he couldn’t control those rumors in the future.
Glancing at Bai Aoxue with appreciation, Bai Qiwei walked out of the room and looked at the servants: “I will strictly investigate what happened today and I also have my own decision about Second Miss. I hope that you can keep your mouth shut. Besides, I will let Steward Bai add a sum of money on your wages.”
When everyone heard that their wages would be increased, that scene like a purgatory in their mind got relieved. Then they said loudly: “Thank you for your kindness, my lord!”
When Bai Qiwei waved his hand, the crowd dispersed like birds and beasts.
“Aoxue, why did your come here?” Bai Qiwei looked at Bai Aoxue, who was leisurely, and asked sternly.
Although harbored doubts in heart, he didn’t point it out. He did not expect Bai Aoxue to be so courageous. As a weak girl, she even didn’t evade such a scene.
“A little bit earlier than you, my father. I came over when I heard the voice of my sister.” Bai Aoxue looked at Bai Qiwei care freely.
“Did you find any abnormality after you came in?” Bai Qiwei asked without hesitation.
Although he wouldn’t suspect that this was done by Bai Aoxue, Bai Aoxue was still suspicious.
“No, when I came in, there were already many servants searching. It’s just that no one dared to come in to see sister, so here I am.” Bai Aoxue raised her eyebrows and smiled.
After Bai Qiwei listened to the words of Bai Aoxue, the doubts in his heart gradually disappeared.
“It’s getting late. You should not visit such a place too frequently. You will get married in a few days. I hope this thing will not affect you.” Bai Qiwei showed the appearance of a kind father.
Bai Aoxue listened to the words of Bai Qiwei and smiled coldly: “Father, you can rest assured. It won’t affect me. It’s just that you need to pay more attention to sister.”
Bai Qiwei nodded and said: “You should go back now. Your uncle will come back the day after tomorrow, and you should go to greet him with me when he arrives.”
“I know, father.” Bai Aoxue nodded. In fact, even if Bai Qiwei did not ask her to, she would go.
Ye Zhaojue was her uncle. Of course, she would go to greet him.
Bai Qiwei rarely saw Bai Aoxue so obedient. He nodded with satisfaction: “That will be the best. Let Steward Bai go to buy some new clothes for you tomorrow. You can tell him what you like.”
Bai Aoxue was quite disdainful about Bai Qiwei’s current hospitable behavior.
When you still had value, he could spoil you as much as you want; while when you were useless, he would abandon you mercilessly. Bai Qiwei was such a person and he had only interests in mind.
Bai Qiwei left after finishing. Bai Aoxue looked at Bai Lei, who was still in the same place, and waited leisurely for him to speak.
Bai Aoxue looked at Bai Lei, who was silent, and thought about Mumian who was waiting outside.
“Steward Bai, don’t you want to say something? If not, I will leave. As for clothes, I will send someone to you tomorrow.” Bai Aoxue indifferently looked at Bai Lei.
Bai Lei listened to Bai Aoxue’s words and also got back to himself from a daze.
“First Miss, have…have you encountered any abnormal thing today?” Bai Lei asked tentatively.
After listening to him, Bai Aoxue laughed and said: “I don’t know what you mean by abnormal thing?”
Bai Lei listened to Bai Aoxue’s words and anxiously asked: “Did you meet kill…”
He stopped abruptly. Bai Lei looked at Bai Aoxue whose eyes were filled with incredibility.
He almost spilt the beans. Fears accompanied worries which altogether made Bai Lei, who was cautious, almost said something wrong.
Bai Aoxue looked at Bai Lei who was shocked and said coldly: “Kill what? Steward Bai, do you know something? Are you hiding something from my father?”
After listening to Bai Aoxue’s words, Bai Lei was more and more defensive against Bai Aoxue’s cunning: “Miss, you over thought it. I have nothing to hide, and I serve my lord with loyalty!”
Bai Lei looked at Bai Aoxue with righteousness.
Bai Aoxue looked at Bai Lei and sneered: “Hh, you are really loyal! Even I have been touched!”
How could Bai Lei not read Bai Aoxue’s sarcasm? However, he didn’t say anything.
Now, he still didn’t know how much Bai Aoxue knew about this thing. He dared not to act rashly.
Bai Aoxue was too lazy to talk with Bai Lei. Passing by Bai Lei imperturbably, she said before leaving: “I don’t know if Steward Bai heard a saying. The day has eyes, the night has ears!”
Her words fell, leaving only Bai Lei who was shocked and scared.
