Chapter 60

Wang Fu came forward and fed one rat some molten cream candy, and fed the other one some tea.

In just a short while, the rat that drank the tea kicked its legs a couple of times and immediately died.

Chun Xiang\'s face changed, and she panicked and said, "My Lady, I didn\'t poison it, I really didn\'t poison it!"

Lady Bai looked at Chun Xiang, her face somewhat cold. Chun Xiang had always been her person, and she didn\'t believe that Chun Xiang would poison anything, but now the facts were right in front of her.

"You didn\'t poison it? Then where did the poison in this tea come from?!" Lady Bai waved her hand, knocking over the tea on the table.

Chun Xiang was so scared she shuddered, "Really, it wasn\'t me! My Lady, I don\'t know why there was poison in this tea either!"

"Were you always there when you were brewing the tea?" Sang Li suddenly asked.

"I..." Chun Xiang thought for a moment, "When I was boiling the water, I went to the latrine for a bit..."

With a slap, a slap landed on Chun Xiang\'s face, "Useless thing!"

At this time, Xiao Han walked out from inside, her bangs damp with sweat.

"Miss Xiao, how is Bai Yunhan?" Lady Bai immediately stood up and asked.

"He\'s awake now..." Xiao Han breathed a sigh of relief.

Lady Bai was immediately overjoyed and went inside, with everyone else following behind.

Bai Yunhan was seen sitting leaning against the bed, his face ghastly pale, his lips slightly purplish.

"Yunhan, how are you feeling?" Lady Bai asked anxiously.

Bai Yunhan was expressionless. Seeing Sang Li come in, his eyes looked towards Sang Li.

Seeing Bai Yunhan look over, Gu Zhi subconsciously moved closer to Sang Li\'s side.

"I\'m fine..." Bai Yunhan weakly responded.

Xiao Han stepped forward and said to Lady Bai, "I can\'t solve his poison, but I\'ve given him a shot to prevent the poison from spreading. You must find an antidote within twelve hours, otherwise he won\'t make it."

Lady Bai\'s eyes reddened slightly. She reassured Bai Yunhan, "Yunhan, rest well. Mother will definitely find you an antidote!"

Bai Yunhan lowered his eyes, seemingly indifferent to his own life and death. He said lightly:

"Mother, a person dies eventually. Don\'t worry too much about life and death... Sometimes being alive is more painful than being dead..."

Hearing Bai Yunhan\'s words, Lady Bai couldn\'t help but get emotional, tears sliding down her face, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could Mother possibly let you die?! You are my only hope, do you know that?"

Bai Yunhan looked at Lady Bai, tears slowly sliding down his pale face. His tone was somewhat sad, "Mother, have you ever thought about whether the path you arranged for me was the path I wanted? Do you think that the life you deemed happy for me really made me happy? I can\'t even marry the woman I\'m fond of. Being alive, I\'m merely a pawn in your hands. You tell me to go east, and I can\'t go west."

"You..." Lady Bai was speechless for a moment after hearing Bai Yunhan\'s words, "Yunhan, it was all for your own good..."

Bai Yunhan lowered his head slightly and let out a sad laugh, "Yes, it was for my own good. For my own good you clearly knew Third Aunt wanted to kill Father, yet you secretly condoned her actions?"

"You..." Lady Bai looked at Bai Yunhan in disbelief.

Bai Yunhan raised his eyes to look at Lady Bai and questioned, "Mother, the pharmacy owner was your subordinate, right? From the very beginning when Third Aunt went to the pharmacy owner to poison Father, you already knew Third Aunt\'s motives for coming to the Bai family, didn\'t you?"

Lady Bai lowered her eyes and remained silent without answering.

"You were afraid the pharmacy owner would expose that you had long known about this, so you had Butler Wang kill him?"

Bai Yunhan choked up, his eyes brimming red, filled with tears.

"Mother, he was your husband! As husband and wife, how could you just sit by idly and watch him die? Are you really that heartless?"

Even if Bai Yunhan did not get along well with his father, even if his father had done some unforgivable things to others, his mother clearly knew someone wanted to kill his father yet feigned ignorance, and even abetted the matter.

He had always felt unfortunate to have a heartless father, and luckily still had a gentle mother.

But now he realized he not only had a heartless father, but also a heartless mother.

Listening to these things, Second Aunt couldn\'t help but be shocked and stare with wide eyes. So Lady Bai had known long ago that Third Aunt wanted to kill Old Master Bai?

Lady Bai looked up at Bai Yunhan, the pent-up resentment in her heart for many years seemed to gush out at this moment.

"Yunhan, you said I\'m heartless? But how did Bai Zhen treat me?"

Tears slid down Lady Bai\'s face, "When I married him, he said he would never take concubines. But barely two years after I gave birth to you he took Second Aunt as a concubine! I always had a knot in my heart, but for your sake I endured it. I was the principal wife, I had to be magnanimous, I told myself it was very normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines!"

"But two years ago, he took Third Aunt as a concubine in the same way! And he falsely accused me of having an affair with Li Hong! He broke one of my ribs!"

Bai Yunhan\'s eyes were filled with disbelief, "What did you say? He hit you?"

Lady Bai sobbed, "Yes. You probably don\'t know, I used to practice martial arts. But after marrying your father I became more gentle because he liked that. From then on I never practiced martial arts again. I was no match for your father. He broke one of my ribs and it took me several months to recover."

Wang Fu listened to Lady Bai recounting these things, and couldn\'t help getting red-eyed.

Bai Yunhan\'s eyes were filled with red, simply unable to believe the words Lady Bai said, "Why? You never told me any of this?"

"What good would it have done telling you? From then on I resumed practicing martial arts. I\'ve been secretly training for the past two years. Your father neglected me and I kept to myself. The pharmacy owner was indeed my subordinate. The first time Third Aunt asked the pharmacy owner to poison someone I already knew of her ulterior motives for coming to the Bai family. How could I possibly expose Third Aunt when I hated your father so much!"

Sang Li looked at Lady Bai, "So you\'ve been using us all along? Using us to expose Third Aunt in order to chase her out of the Bai family?"

"Yes. I just wanted to expose Third Aunt through your hands, but I never expected Yunhan to fall for you."

Lady Bai closed her eyes for a moment, "Yunhan, anyone can hate and blame me, but not you! Bai Zhen knew you don\'t like doing business and has been wanting Second Aunt and Third Aunt to bear him another son. If he really has another son, do you think you would still have a place in the Bai family?"

"Everything I did was for you!"

"Mother, I\'m not interested in the Bai family assets. I only hope we can live together harmoniously as a family without these sinister schemes."

"Do you think that\'s possible?" Lady Bai retorted.

Bai Yunhan didn\'t answer. Indeed, was that possible? While living in the Bai family, even his tiny wish was wishful thinking.
