Chapter 24 Old Madam of the Lan House 2 ” (2/2)

“Okay.” Pricking her brow, Bai Yan closes in on the boy’s side and whispered into his ear, “if you’ve decided then I won’t stop you. But first, you need to find an opportunity to shake off the shadow from the Bai House. Once you do that, I will introduce a person to you.”

Shadow?

Lapsing out for a second, Bai Xiao didn’t know that man had sent someone to tail himself.

Just as the boy was puzzling over why his sister would know about this when he himself never noticed, Bai Yan had already left the yard with Granny Sun that came over.

But before she stepped out the doorway, she made sure to take an extra glance at the tree nearby.

It seems I will need to help brother here clear out these shadows for good…

The man hiding there nearly skipped a beat at the intense glare coming his way. He’s hidden himself so well so it came as a great shock when that girl looked over.

It must be a coincidence!

The man comforts himself, ignoring it as a coincidence. In truth, his death wasn’t all that far away now that he’s been caught.

……

Six years ago when Bai Ruo still hadn’t married the current crown prince, the Lan House at the time was still crowded with guests from time to time even if the old chief became sick in bed. However, in a few short years, the entire residence appeared deserted from the outside. Occasionally there would be a few passerby’s, but most would rather take a detour for fear of offending the Bai House.

At this moment Bai Yan now stands before this once glorious manor. Looking at the depressed state of her mother’s side of the family, a storm was quickly brewing in her eyes.

“Miss Bai, this way please. The old madam has been waiting for you for a long while now.” Granny Sun made a welcoming gesture, her attitude respectful.
