Chapter 342: can forget
Chapter 342 This can also be forgotten
Madam Bai raised her eyebrows slightly, "It seems that the girl is more friends than enemies with those who rebel against the imperial court."
Ye Anlan raised the corners of her lips, "You guessed wrong."
Madam Bai looked surprised, she thought she guessed it right.
Before she could continue to think about other possibilities of Ye Anlan's identity, she heard Ye Anlan say again: "I am not friend or foe with them, I am directly one of them."
Madam Bai: Isn’t this more serious than being a friend rather than an enemy?
Before she could continue to choose her words to make an inquiry, Ye Anlan told Mrs. Bai how she and Bai Qingzhi met.
Madam Bai found out that her husband was so poor that he could only ask the surrounding rebels for help.
She believed that Bai Qingzhi would not know what kind of danger he would bring to the Bai family in the capital by doing so, and she also believed that Bai Qingzhi must have suffered a lot in his heart when he made this dilemma.
If it weren't for the fact that there was no other way and no hope, Mrs. Bai believed that Bai Qingzhi would never do such a thing that put his family in danger.
Her husband was in a dilemma and suffered a lot. Dahao Erlang, who guarded the northern border, endured hunger, starvation, injury and sacrificed his life, while those in power in Dazhou who were still enjoying the false wealth lived luxuriously and extravagantly every day.
What irony this is, and how unsatisfactory and unfair it is!
She stood up and gave Ye Anlan a deep salute, "Thank you, Miss, for lending a helping hand to the soldiers in the northern border. We, the Bai Family, will definitely repay your kindness in the future."
Ye Anlan hastily waved her hands twice, "The Bai family doesn't owe us anything, and keeping the land and the people safe should not depend entirely on the support of one family."
She gave Bai Qingzhi's personal letter to Mrs. Bai, "Please burn it immediately after reading it, Ma'am, otherwise this letter will become the ironclad evidence that Lord Hou colluded with the traitor."
Although the Bai family will run away soon, it is better not to recite things like stigma.
The reason why Ye Anlan knew the contents of the letter was entirely because of Bai Qingzhi's frankness.
After writing this letter to his family, Bai Qingzhi deliberately showed the dried letter paper to Ye Anlan for review.
Ye Anlan didn't want to read it, but Bai Qingzhi forced the letter paper onto the table in front of him.
The reason why he persisted was because Bai Qingzhi wrote something related to Ye Anlan in the letter, and he felt that he had to ask Ye Anlan's permission in advance.
Ye Anlan felt that this was a private letter from him and his family, so she refused to read it. However, she refused to read it, and Bai Qingzhi refused to take the letter away. Ye Anlan couldn't help him, so she glanced at the contents of the letter.
Bai Qingzhi's letter did not have a fixed recipient, because he was not sure which one of his mother, wife, and daughter the letter would end up in.
Because he wasn't sure who the recipient of the letter was, and made up his mind to show it to Ye Anlan and ask for her permission, there was no private conversation between husband and wife in this letter written by Bai Qingzhi.
He just briefly explained his recent situation, told them that the choice he made would bring death to his family members, and then told his family members to fully cooperate with Ye Anlan and evacuate from the capital as quickly as possible.
Mrs. Bai, who had not received her husband's letter for the first time in two years, opened the envelope with trembling hands. She first read all the contents of the letter very eagerly, and then slowed down, tracing Bai Qingzhi's writing from the beginning. every word of .
Ye Anlan waited patiently at the side until she recovered from her emotions, then Ye Anlan handed over the brazier and signaled Mrs. Bai to throw the letter in and burn it.
Madam Bai also knew that the contents of the letter must not be seen by anyone other than the Bai family, and she, a weak woman with no power to restrain a chicken, obviously did not have the ability to protect the letter tightly. So even though she was reluctant to give up, she followed her reason and burned the letter in the brazier.
While watching the letter papers and envelopes turn into ashes little by little in the brazier, Mrs. Bai whispered to Ye Anlan: "To tell you the truth, our Weiping Marquis Mansion has always been the royal family and powerful ministers because we have a hundred thousand soldiers in our hands. Not only are there many eyeliners outside the mansion who have been staring at us, but our mansion has also been buried with many nails by others in every possible way over the years. If our family suddenly disappears, it may take less than two hours. There will be a lot of pursuers."
Ye Anlan had expected this, she smiled and replied to Mrs. Bai, "Then don't disappear suddenly."
Seeing Mrs. Bai's puzzled face, Ye Anlan raised her hand and pointed to her face, "Someone under my command is good at disguise, we can definitely show the real one to the Great Zhou court."
Madam Bai's eyes widened, "Miss Ye's face"
Ye Anlan nodded innocently, "It's fake."
Mrs. Bai who has been recognizing people by faces:
Ye Anlan comforted her with a smile, "Don't worry, the real owner of this face is ours."
Madam Bai was stunned, "So, today is the boss who went to the jewelry store for you?"
Ye Anlan nodded slightly, "Otherwise I wouldn't be able to go out of the city to meet you so casually."
The jewelry store is short of people. If a new guy like her dares to ask for leave casually, the stingy shopkeeper in the store will scold her for doubting her life┓(`)┏
"Although Lord Hou has given me the list, he hasn't returned to Beijing for many years." While talking, Ye Anlan took out the list of people who need to be taken away that Bai Qingzhi gave her, "Just to be cautious, please confirm again Go through it again and see if there are any candidates that need to be added."
According to Bai Qingzhi, Mrs. Bai's natal family is all in the north, and Mrs. Bai's natal family is far away in Guangling. Except for the branch of the Marquis of Weiping, the rest of the Bai family are either in the north or in their hometown. , in short, it is not within the control of the Great Zhou court.
But this is Bai Qingzhi's inherent impression after all. He has been guarding the northern border all these years. He must not know whether there are new changes in Beijing.
Being cautious, Ye Anlan felt that it was better for her to ask Mrs. Bai to confirm again.
After Madam Bai heard the words, she took the list and read it again, and found that Bai Qingzhi was as she expected, only writing the names of Mrs. Bai, herself, and their three children, and she couldn't help being speechless for a while.
She said to Ye Anlan: "Master Hou has a concubine's family in the capital. If we leave, their family may be angered by the court."
Ye Anlan:? ? ? Isn't Shumei her half-sister? Can you forget this too?
But she soon realized that Bai Qingzhi probably didn't forget that he had a younger sister, but that his younger sister had some problems.
She asked Mrs. Bai, "Is this concubine sister of Lord Hou bad or stupid?"
