Chapter 2930: My lady truly treats me ……

~7 min read 1,275 words

Having made a decision, Bai Yu immediately used Mìfǎ to contact Yun Yu.

It is indeed a detail; to be safe, they did not use ordinary communication methods but directly employed Mìfǎ.

On the other side, Yun Yu, who was leisurely drinking tea in his own Dong Fu, suddenly received Bai Yu's message.

The content was very simple, just one sentence.

"Important matter to discuss, come quickly."

Huh???

Hearing that, the ease on Yun Yu's face vanished instantly, replaced by a deep look of worry.

From his tone, it was not hard to hear that Bai Yu's mood was very solemn.

Furthermore, he had just given his cousin a poisonous substance, letting her poison Bai Yu.

Now Bai Yu is not dead, but instead he is being asked to discuss important matters—could it be that the matter has been exposed?

He harbored doubts, yet he could not refuse to go; Yun Yu's courage was not small, but now was not the time to break ties.

He dares to stab Bai Yu, that fool, in the back secretly, but if he had to openly fight his brother-in-law, he wouldn't dare, as the difference in strength is too great.

Moreover, even in terms of power and influence he cannot compare; up to now, in many aspects he still has to rely on Bai Yu's protection.

Without Bai Yu, his Elder position would likely not be secure.

So, although he harbored suspicions, after careful consideration Yun Yu still decided to risk himself and make the trip.

Anyway, at worst he could push everything onto his cousin; even if not, after some preparation, escaping should still be possible.

After making preparations, Yun Yu then headed toward Bai Yu's Dong Fu.

On the other side, inside the secret room, waiting left and right, after a long while no one came, Hui Yu angrily cursed.

"Come on, can this cousin of yours actually manage? It's been so long, even crawling he'd have arrived by now."

"Perhaps something delayed him."

"He has some damn thing, without even a specific duty."

"He's here."

Just as they were speaking, the Dong Fu's restriction was suddenly triggered, and Bai Yu rose and walked out.

Not long after, they heard voices coming from outside.

"Brother Bai, why did you summon me so urgently?"

"Let's go inside and talk."

Huh???

"But something happened to the cousin? Where is she?"

Following the voices, Bai Yu and the other person strode into the secret room; upon entering, Bai Yu immediately shut the door, with Hui Yu also present, and Yun Yu froze on the spot.

In the secret room, with close friends and the door shut, multiple factors piled together, he instinctively took out an escape talisman from his person, a high-quality one.

Seeing this, Hui Yu, who had been about to greet him, froze, wearing a doubtful expression.

"What are you……………………"

"What's wrong with this guy? You were asked to come discuss matters, yet you pull out an escape talisman as soon as you enter—before even saying anything."

Not only Hui Yu, but Bai Yu also wore a puzzled look.

Facing the gazes of the two, Yun Yu involuntarily gave an embarrassed laugh and explained.

"I……… was nervous."

In response, Hui Yu turned his gaze to Bai Yu; the look in his eyes clearly asked, "Is this guy reliable at all? He doesn't look trustworthy."

"It's fine, it's fine; let's first talk about the important matter."

Pulling Yun Yu to sit down, following Bai Yu's gaze, he then saw the corpse on the ground.

Instinctively, he reached for the escape talisman again—"Damn, you really killed someone, and an Elder at that."

"Why did you summon him? Is killing one not enough?"

However, having the previous misunderstanding, Yun Yu forcibly restrained himself; his vigilance had risen to the extreme, and at the slightest sign of something wrong he would immediately flee without hesitation.

Fortunately, Bai Yu and the other had no intention to kill, but as Bai Yu spoke, Yun Yu felt just as ill.

Staring blankly at Bai Yu, he asked doubtfully.

"Is………………… this person killed by the cousin?"

"Heaven knows how he felt hearing that; you're joking—my own cousin, I know her strengths and weaknesses."

"She could kill someone? And an Elder? You're just spouting nonsense."

"Having lived this long, the cousin is the type who could be chased away by a stray dog—how could she have killed someone?"

"If Yun Yu is trash, then the cousin is trash among trash—could they possibly be from the same family?"

However, regarding this, Bai Yu nodded firmly and then sighed from the heart.

"My wife truly feels sincere devotion toward me; to obtain such a wife, I have no regrets in this life—she does not fail me, and I will likewise not fail her in this life…………………"

"Enough, enough, enough—don't be sentimental, let's get to the matter."

Seeing Bai Yu sighing again, Hui Yu immediately snapped irritably, "What time is it now? Whether you bear responsibility or not, if this isn't handled well, we'll all be waiting to die."

Interrupted by Hui Yu, Bai Yu reluctantly changed the subject.

"So, at this point I still have to trouble Elder Brother to help handle the corpse, after all, Hui Yu and I are too conspicuous."

"Me???"

"Yes, Elder Brother also doesn't want anything to happen to the younger sister."

"You…………………"

"That bastard is using this to threaten me? However, he's right on one point—I truly cannot stand by and do nothing regarding this matter."

Because from Bai Yu's earlier account, Yun Yu already knew that the foolish woman used the poison he had given her to poison and kill that Elder.

So, once this corpse is exposed, a casual check in the clan doesn't need much technical skill and can quickly pinpoint the poison.

Then, following the clues, the first person they'd likely find is him, Yun Yu.

More importantly, he must not let Bai Yu know about this.

After all, this poison was originally meant to kill him.

Thinking of this, Yun Yu felt like a mute eating coptis—having suffering he cannot speak.

It's all because of that stupid woman—you can even kill the wrong person? How can someone be this stupid?

At one point, Yun Yu even suspected that he had been played by that woman.

Actually, he's just the spare tire; from beginning to end, they two are the true love—otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?

Not knowing what Yun Yu was thinking, under the gaze of Bai Yu and the two of them, finally Yun Yu gritted his teeth and nodded.

Bai brother, rest assured, I know how to handle this.

That's good, Tou Niang, having you as a brother is truly a great fortune in life.

Huh???

Facing Bai Yu's sincere gratitude, Yun Yu felt conflicted; could it be that you two have been scheming against me all along?

Suddenly, he felt as if he had been schemed against, yet unaware of it.

Finally, the Elder's corpse was taken away by Yun Yu, while Bai Yu looked at Hui Yu and said.

How about it? My brother-in-law isn't bad, right?

Upon hearing that, Hui Yu did not refute this time, but instead spoke in a low voice.

Could it be that I was actually mistaken before?

Definitely, I was mistaken—Tou Niang's brother is far from simple on the surface; setting aside other things, his family loyalty is unmatched.

Bai Yu laughed heartily in praise; after this incident, he looked at his brother-in-law in a new light, and it was not in vain that he had previously put in so much effort for him.
