"You know to come back?" Lady Bai questioned Bai Yunhan with red-rimmed eyes.

Bai Yunhan did not speak and slowly walked forward to the bedside, then reached out to uncover the white cloth.

Old Master Bai's ghastly pale face fell into Bai Yunhan's eyes.

Bai Yunhan was so frightened that his hand shook and the white cloth dropped back down, covering Old Master Bai's face again.

He clutched his chest, unable to calm down for a long time.

Although he had always been at odds with his father, seeing Old Master Bai's tragic death at this moment caused an ache in his heart, and his eyes instantly turned red.

"When did this happen?" Bai Yun asked chokingly.

"Young Master, this happened last night. We discovered the Old Master's corpse in the back mountain of the Bai family," Wang Fu said, "I won't hide it from the Young Master, two young ladies found him, we've already locked them in the woodshed."

"Two young ladies?"

"Yes, two young ladies dressed strangely, very similar to...the two young ladies the Young Master just brought back..." Wang Fu said meaningfully.

Lady Bai looked at Bai Yunhan, "You brought two young ladies back?"

"Steward Wang, they may be accomplices. You have to keep a close eye on them!" Ying Shuang, who was sitting to the side, cried and said, "If it were up to me, send them all to the government office. They won't fail to confess!"

"Eldest Brother, you must avenge Father!" Bai Yunxin came forward and grabbed Bai Yunhan’s arm, with tears brimming in her eyes.

Bai Yunxin was born to Ying Shuang while Bai Yunhan was born to Liu Meng.

Although one was an illegitimate daughter and the other the lawful son, the two siblings actually had a good relationship.

Moreover, Bai Yunxin was very well-behaved and used to be favored by Old Master Bai.

"Mother, have you seen those two young ladies?" Bai Yunhan asked.

"I've seen them, but they said they didn't kill anyone and that he was already dead when they found your father," Lady Bai replied.

"Mistress, which murderer admits they're the murderer?" Ying Shuang said in dissatisfaction, "Or does the Mistress simply not care about the Old Master's life and death?"

"The Mistress cares about the Old Master's life and death, that's why she doesn't want the wrong murderer to be caught," Xiao Ru, the third concubine, said at the side.

Ying Shuang glared at Xiao Ru but didn't say anything else.

"Mother, I want to see the two young ladies you mentioned," Bai Yunhan said.

On the other side, a maid came to Su Mo and Sang Li’s room with tea.

Sang Li glanced at the maid and a thought turning in her mind, she politely smiled at the maid, “Thank you, Miss. May we trouble you for some clothes for my sister and I? In this state we do look rather strange."

"Yes," Su Mo walked over and winked at the maid. "Miss, is there a place to bathe? Can you let us go take a bath?"

"You two ladies can call me Chun Xiang," Chun Xiang sized them up, only to see their fair, delicate arms bared, Sang Li even had a section of calf revealed, without even simple buns in their hair.

Last night, she witnessed Steward Fu escorting two similarly dressed women into the woodshed.

Observing Chun Xiang’s expression, Sang Li was certain they had seen people dressed like them before.
