Chapter 72: Floating Secrets (1)
The lingering drizzle envelops Daliang Spring in the boundless night.

At the corner of the eaves, the red light of the lantern was dazzling, like an uninvited guest who had suddenly intruded, causing the third lady to feel slightly uncomfortable. She raised her eyes as if belatedly, with a confused expression on her face, "I don't know what the eldest lady is talking about."

"What I mean is, third lady, don't you know it well?" Baili Changge closed his eyes and said slowly, "It was you who designed all this and killed Shaoqing."

Bai Lijing's face changed suddenly when he heard the words, even Ye Hen, who had been calm all this time, was slightly surprised.

Yuan Guanghao opened his mouth wide open as if he had discovered a new world, and looked at the third lady in disbelief, "This, this... Miss, are you mistaken, the third lady is the mother of the fourth son, how can she Maybe it's possible to go down with such a cruel hand and kill him with your own hands?"

Li Xianglan was shocked, and immediately pulled Baili Ruolan away from the third wife by a few feet.

"This is what we're going to discuss next." Baili Changge returned to the house, took out the ink-smeared paper from Ye Hen's hand, stood in the porch and raised it high and asked everyone, "Yu Zhen Although the clan has disappeared for a hundred years, the old people in the mansion should have heard of it, so tell me now, what color is the sacred flower of the Yuzhen clan?"

"This..." The servants looked at each other, "Aren't ordinary flowers all colorful, yellow, white, red and purple, anyway, this is one of them."

Baili Changge turned around and asked Baili Jing again, "Master Hou traveled to many places in the South and North when he was young, so you should know the color of the floating flower?"

Bai Lijing thought about it carefully, then frowned and said, "It's probably white, since it's a holy flower, it can only be a pure color like white."

Baili Changge turned back with a smile, and said, "Even you don't know the color of this flower, but as the third lady who married into the Hou's mansion when she was more than ten years old, she knows very well that Fuzang flowers are black and white."

With one word, the whole courtyard was silent.

Everyone looked at the third lady with strange eyes, as if they were looking at a murderous female devil.

"The third lady is actually a descendant of the Yuzhen clan!" Yuan Guanghao could no longer hide his surprised expression, his eyes almost fell off.Then he said doubtfully: "But what does this have to do with the death of the Fourth Young Master?"

Baili Changge's eyes moved, and he turned his head to look at Fu Qingyun. His face was completely immersed in the damp night, and no expression could be seen.

Turning his gaze again, it was Ye Hen who was still sitting on the teacher's chair. His elegant and noble eyebrows remained calm and calm. Feeling her gaze, he raised his eyes slightly, slightly curved his lips, and silently nodded.

After coughing twice, Baili Changge walked up to Bailijing and said, "Master Hou, the reason why I called everyone here today is to dispel their doubts about ghosts. Now that the real culprit has been found out, it's better to take the ghosts away." Dismiss the servants and those irrelevant wives, after all, what I want to say next should not be too ostentatious."

Baili Jing was startled, but did not refute, and sent away the others according to what Baili Changge said, leaving only the third wife, Fu Qingyun, Ye Hen and Yuan Guanghao in the hall.

After all the people had left, Baili Changge took up the paper with the outline of the ink dots smeared with ink balls again and presented it to the third lady, and said in a solemn tone: "Third lady, what I just said is ironclad evidence, and What I’m going to say next is all my personal speculation, if I’m wrong, I hope you can point me out.”

Wen Shi pursed her lips tightly, and the lip line had already appeared a little pale.

"As I said just now, the holy flower of the Yuzhen clan also has another meaning, which represents eternal and persistent love." The voice of Baili Changge was clear and piercing. Every patriarch of the clan will cut his fingers and pour blood on the sacred flower with his wife in front of the clan on the day of their wedding. The Yuzhen clan has always been monogamous, so this act is a testimony of loyalty. The reason why I say this is not to expose the third lady as a member of the Yuzhen clan, but to say that the third lady fell in love with someone she shouldn't love after marrying a wife, and that person was the beginning of all her sins .”
