Night falls in the Imperial Capital, and under the bright lights, the winter night sky in the Imperial Capital actually looks like daytime.
Within the Bai Manor, the architectural style of the entire Bai family is slightly different from that of other wealthy families, continuing the most traditional style and architectural features of G country.
The traditional Jiangnan pavilions are somewhat incompatible with a place like the Imperial Capital where every inch of land is at a premium.
The old man of the Bai family has an eccentric temperament and often disappears in the imperial capital to travel around. Compared with the traditional family requirements of reunion, the old man does not have any requirements for these.
The direct lineage of the Bai family is thin, and they don't have too many children. They basically live in a place as big as Bai's manor and rarely see each other several times a day.
The old man who always liked to run outside since yesterday suddenly stayed at home quietly.
Yuan Gui laid out the food and went to the room to find the old man to come out for dinner.
The old man sleeping on the recliner had his eyes closed and was covered with a thick plush blanket. The room was warm and the old man slept well.
"Old Master, it's time to eat." Yuan Gui called softly.
The old man on the recliner did not move. He called from far away, "Old Master?"
Still no movement.
He took a step forward and placed his fingers gently on the old man's pulse. Although it was weak, it was still beating.
"Old Master, let's just stop playing this trick, okay." Yuan Gui was speechless.
He had pretended to be dead several times. Last time, Jinli was so frightened that he fell into the water.
If you still play this game now, I’m going to get pissed off.
"You brat, you are the only one who knows how to check your pulse." The old man snorted.
"You're quite old, don't always use these tricks." Yuan Gui stepped forward and helped him lift the blanket off his body.
"You brat."
Bai Guangjing walked out of the back room with his hands behind his back. It was such a winter, and it would get cold soon after cooking.
There was a small round hotpot placed on the round table, and the golden soup surging inside was extremely tempting.
"Sit down and eat together." The old man moved his chopsticks and said.
"I'll wait for you to come over soon. You can eat first."
It's cold, and hot pot is the best way to warm the spleen and stomach. The old man was very particular about what he ate, and there were some nourishing herbs in the soup.
Bai Guangjing stared at the unloaded crabs in front of him.
Crabs used to look very big, but why did they suddenly become like this today
"That's all the shrimp. You can only eat one of these crabs. I also told the kitchen that you can only eat them once a week, one at a time." Yuan Gui explained.
Bai Guangjing bit the crab leg speechlessly, and just as he was about to eat it, Bai Nanxing happened to arrive at the old man's side in the distance.
"dad."
Bai Guangjing stopped chewing the crab and said, "It's rare to see him. I've seen him three times in the past two months. If I hadn't been in charge of the Bai Family Medicine Hall, I would have thought he was already so busy."
Bai Nanxing didn't listen to his father's sarcasm, it happened every time they met, and he was used to it.
"Dad, I have something to tell you." Bai Nanxing stood at the table and spoke.
Bai Guangjing put down the crab, "If it can affect my mood, there's no need to talk about it for now, I still have to eat."
The best thing about Mr. Bai is that even though he is getting older, his teeth are still very good.
It looks delicious when eaten.
"Then I'll wait until you finish eating and tell you slowly."
Bai Nanxing was not in a hurry. He sat on a solid wooden chair and waited quietly. When he saw this after returning from afar, he asked his servant to come over and make him a cup of tea.
"When I handed the Bai family into your hands, I said that sometimes in life there must be something, and in life there is no time and there will be no. Some things cannot be forced."
Bai Nanxing's hand holding the nanmu chair tightened, "Dad."
"I also said that as a doctor, every medicine in your hand should be used to save people. The herbs used by the Bai family back then were used to fight against foreign enemies during times of war. They are not a means for you to achieve your selfish desires."
Bai Nanxing raised his head suddenly, what the old man meant by this. Did he know something
"Old Master!!!"
The servant at the door hurriedly ran in from the corridor, and people rushed over from all directions, calling the old lady and sir.
"Old Master, someone is coming outside. A group of vicious people suddenly surrounded our house." The housekeeper said anxiously.
"What!" Bai Nanxing stood up suddenly, "What does it mean to be surrounded? Who in the entire imperial capital has the courage to surround my Bai family!"
Yuan Gui hummed in a low voice, was he surrounded by the Medicine God not long after the last competition
Bai Guangjing fed the last bite of crab roe without moving his hands, and picked up the chopsticks with satisfaction.
"Dad." Bai Nanxing called.
"This Imperial City is not a place where just anyone can be tyrannical. I don't believe that there is no royal law in this Imperial Capital."
Not only was the entire Bai Manor surrounded outside, but a large number of people in black also poured in inside.
These people looked solemn and expressionless like robots. They found their positions along every door and road and stood firm.
Wen Li and Xia Chen came from the stone arch at the front and stood directly in front of Bai Guangjing.
Bai Nanxing on the side looked blankly at the two people who appeared, and his expression was ferocious after he realized what they were doing.
"you again!!"
She surrounded the competition manor during the last traditional medicine competition, and this time she surrounded the Bai family.
The God of Medicine can't bully people like this.
Wen Li arrived in front of Bai Guangjing and nodded slightly to the old man, "Old sir, I came here without your permission. I was rude, but the matter is urgent and I can't take care of that much."
Xia Chen on the side was dumbfounded that the boss was so polite to Mr. Bai.
"Girl, you are a stable child, but you can't bully my Bai family so easily. Please tell me why?" Bai Guangjing finally stopped eating.
Bai Guangjing's words didn't mean to blame at all, but they also had some toughness.
"Who do you think you are that dares to surround my Bai family? Don't think that just because you are the god of medicine, you can do whatever you want regardless of the law!!" Bai Nanxing said angrily.
"Shut up!" Bai Guangjing shouted at him coldly.
Bai Nanxing was a little stunned, "Dad!"
In this situation, this woman is clearly here to cause trouble! They should be kicked out directly!
"My apprentice is missing."
Bai Nanxing stared at Wen Li in astonishment, "You said Zisu is missing!!"
Bai Guangjing put down his chopsticks and glared at Bai Nanxing.
"You go on."
"I think you should take a look at these. My apprentice's disappearance is related to Miss Bai. This imperial capital is so big and I can't find her. Naturally, I came to the Bai family to ask for someone. You should understand this."
"You should sit down first." Bai Guangjing pointed to the seat next to him, "I'll make you a cup of tea when I return from afar."
The information Wen Li brought over was clear and organized. The more Bai Guangjing looked at it, the darker his face became.
"Your people can search everywhere and find her for me." When Bai Guangjing finally slapped the information on the table, his fingers were still trembling.
He also wanted to ask Bai Ziling if these accusations were true.
His Bai family has been innocent for generations, how could something like this happen.
"That's offending."
After Wen Li finished speaking, Xia Chen ordered people to search inside and outside the Bai family's residence.
The woman standing behind the hollow window in the distance took everything in her eyes, turned around and ran away in a hurry.
We must tell the news to the eldest lady and tell her not to come back!
