A GIRL AND HER BEST FRIENDS TIME TRAVEL TO ANCIENT TIMES

Chapter 20

"If the young ladies can find the real murderer, our Bai family will definitely be very grateful," Lady Bai said. "Now, you are the only ones who have had contact with the murderer besides the murderer himself. We have already sent someone to report to the authorities. Young ladies, you just need to assist the authorities in finding the murderer."

"Does Lady Bai believe us?"

"Although your backgrounds are unknown, both I and Han trust that you did not kill the old master. Also, this young lady is more capable than the coroner. She was actually able to detect that the old master was poisoned. Now that I think about it, the old master's health before this was indeed somewhat suspicious."

"My lady, who was in charge of the old master's meals before this?" Xia Miaomiao suddenly asked.

"Previously it was me. In the last two years, the old master had the second aunt take over." Lady Bai suddenly paused. "Are you saying that the second aunt poisoned him? But she has no reason to do so! The old master dying does not benefit her!"

"This... needs to be verified. My lady, even if it's not the second aunt, she may still be indirectly involved in this matter."

After leaving the study, the four seemed to have a lead.

Only after the four left did Lady Bai solemnly say to Bai Yunhan: "Han, now that your father has died tragically, but the Bai family business cannot be left unattended. From now on, you must stay home and work with Steward Wang to manage the Bai family business."

Bai Yunhan lowered his eyes. "Mother, I understand."

"You are also of marriageable age. After your father's funeral, find a good husband as soon as possible to expand the Bai family."

Bai Yunhan remained silent without replying.

Lady Bai sighed and walked out the door.

She had always known that Bai Yunhan had no interest in business and liked to read. Previously, she did not interfere much, but now that Elder Master Bai had passed away, as the eldest son he had to take on this responsibility.

After the four returned to the guest room, they held another small meeting.

"This Lady Bai is neither greedy nor competitive. She makes a clear distinction between right and wrong. Her speech and behavior are very ladylike," Xia Miaomiao said. "I feel that those gossip about her must have been maliciously fabricated by someone."

"We need to start with this Second Aunt. I noticed her expression was a bit off at the memorial hall today. We should have someone keep an eye on her."

Su Mo had been sitting to the side with her chin propped up, not even listening to their conversation.

When the others looked towards her, they said, "Mo Mo, we'll leave the task of monitoring the Second Aunt to you."

"What?" Su Mo snapped back to attention. "Alright..."

"You can go find Yi for help."

"I know..." Su Mo seemed somewhat distracted.

"What's wrong with you? You seem absent-minded."

"I was thinking... who exactly is Wu Ying? Could he be related to Elder Master Bai's death?"

Sang Li laughed. "You can still think so meticulously at a time like this?"

"Hehe, it's mainly because my thoughts are all on him, yet he doesn't care about me at all! Su Mo has never been so rejected before!"

"It can't be him. His physique is much too different from that assassin!"
