"How did my father say?" Looking at the flower tea in her hand, Ouyang Zixin sighed lightly and finally asked.
In Ning Zhiyuan's eyes, Ouyang Zixin was happy because her parents' love for her was enviable. After some things were revealed, perhaps the pain wouldn't be too much.
However, there were some things he couldn't say; it was better for Ouyang Zixin to talk to Ouyang Hao directly.
After they parted ways, Ouyang Zixin brought Liu Ying and Liu Lu to the backyard. There was no one outside Bai Su's courtyard, indicating that Ouyang Hao had already discussed the matter with Bai Su.
Upon entering, she saw her parents sitting at the table, looking at her with affectionate expressions as she walked in.
"Xin'er, come sit here with your mother," Bai Su waved her hand, her expression natural, as if there were no worries on her mind.
Ouyang Zixin obediently walked over, leaving Liu Ying and Liu Lu in the courtyard.
"Father, how do you plan to deal with those people?" Ouyang Zixin still couldn't bring herself to say to get rid of them. She wasn't afraid of bloodshed, but that didn't mean she would be willing to touch it.
Ouyang Hao glanced at Bai Su and, seeing that she had no objections, said, "It will be dealt with tomorrow."
As expected.
No wonder Yun Tianmo specifically came to tell her such things; even if she hadn't come, Ouyang Hao had already made his decision. But why tomorrow?
"Today the Third Prince returned to the capital and presented many hunting trophies to the Sovereign. The Sovereign was very pleased, so this matter has been postponed."
Again it was Nangong Tuo.
Furrowing her brows tightly, Ouyang Zixin became somewhat impatient. Why did everyone like to beat around the bush when speaking? Couldn't they just say it directly?
Bai Su noticed her daughter was displeased, so she smiled and said, "Xin'er, someone from our family has come."
"You can't be talking about Baike, can you?" Ouyang Zixin's brows furrowed even more as she looked at Bai Su.
Could this be what Grandpa Lu Xun often referred to as the concentration of contradictions? But isn't this a bit too concentrated?
Ouyang Hao was well-informed, so it was normal for Bai Su to know. But how did Ouyang Zixin find out?
The couple exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
"When we were at Lingchi Peak, we encountered them." However, at that time, Ouyang Zixin was merely guessing, and Baike hadn't mentioned anything, so it was only now that she could confirm Baike was from her maternal family.
If that's the case, it makes sense why someone was organizing a hunt; it must have been to facilitate Ouyang Zixin's encounter with Baike.
But why?
Before entering Lingchi Peak, if Sovereign had seen through her cultivation level, what were the others trying to achieve?
"But is it to target Father?" Ouyang Zixin usually didn't like to think much. However, that didn't mean she was completely clueless.
Ouyang Hao shook his head. Targeting him wouldn't have any effect on Bai Su's maternal family.
"This time Baike came to the capital, probably for me."
"Mother?"
Bai Su had been away from home for many years and had never had any relatives come looking for her. Why would a young girl come this time? What did the head of the Bai Clan mean by this?
"Are those people being used as pawns? Is the one instigating them from Bai Clan?" Ouyang Zixin felt somewhat lost in the chaos; what on earth was going on?
Does Yun Tianmo also know?
Is she the only one kept in the dark?!
Thinking it over, she couldn't really blame them for not telling her. After all, she had shown no interest in these matters before.
It was true that the instigators were from the Bai Clan, but they had little to do with Baike. The White Clan Leader was her father, but that didn't mean he would inform her about everything. For instance, the two guards who were ordered to kill Ouyang Zixin at Lingchi Peak were acting on the leader's orders, not because Baike had instructed them to take action.
"Long nights bring many dreams." Ouyang Zixin sighed, realizing there was no escaping this. Since that was the case, she might as well steel herself.
Ouyang Hao and Bai Su hadn't expected Ouyang Zixin to say this; their hearts ached upon hearing it. Bai Su quickly took Ouyang Zixin's hand, opening her mouth but unsure of what to say.
"Mother, I'm fine." Ouyang Zixin shook her head with a bitter smile. The ones with problems were those people; their lives were at stake.
Ouyang Zixin had some understanding of what kind of person Baike was, and she knew that Baike was definitely not as ruthless as her father. Otherwise, why would she, as the esteemed Legitimate Daughter, be completely unaware of these matters?
Moreover, if Baike had been required to travel with Nangong Tuo, it would have been a matter of moments for her to be controlled and framed for a crime if the two groups had arrived in reverse order.
Ouyang Hao gazed deeply at Ouyang Zixin for a moment before finally sighing and nodding. He would send someone to handle it shortly; if Baike tried to meddle, things would become even more complicated.
"Also, this isn't something I said; it's Yun Tianmo who asked me to convey it."
As Ouyang Hao stood up to leave, Ouyang Zixin decided to speak the truth. It wasn't that she worried her parents would think she was heartless; it was just that the implications were too significant. Seeing how even a small commotion at the city gate could lead to so many connections, it was better not to hide Yun Tianmo's existence.
Bai Su didn't know who Yun Tianmo was and looked blankly at Ouyang Hao when she mentioned the name, her eyes filled with questions.
Ouyang Hao couldn't understand why Yun Tianmo would directly contact his daughter either; he could only smile wryly at his beloved wife and say, "My dear, I don't know either."
"Dad, you go ahead. I'll explain the rest to Mother." Ouyang Zixin anticipated this reaction and pushed Ouyang Hao out the door before turning back to explain the situation to Bai Su.
“Xin'er, is he the one that Lin Ma saw that day?” Bai Su had already come to terms with her family's matters, so she wasn't worried about those things. Instead, upon hearing about the special connection between that man and Ouyang Zixin, she became even more concerned.
“Mother, I don't know if it's him, but he's not the person you think he is.”
The meaning was clear: don't overthink it. He was just someone sent to deliver a message, not someone with any special relationship.
But the problem was, saying that wouldn't convince her mother.
When Ouyang Hao returned after handling his affairs, he saw Bai Su's eyes shining brightly while Ouyang Zixin looked exhausted.
Ultimately, it was too late, and Bai Su finally let Ouyang Zixin go home to rest.
“Xin'er, come to see me early tomorrow morning.”
Ouyang Zixin let out a final wail of resignation as she left.
Bai Su happily informed Ouyang Hao that their daughter might soon be getting engaged, but Ouyang Hao's expression was no better than his daughter's.
What a joke! Yun Tianmo?! Their daughter marrying him?!
No way! (To be continued.)
