Chapter 276: Chapter 105: Scumbags Don’t Deserve a Healthy Wife_5

*

After Bai Xi left, the atmosphere in front of the tombstone became somewhat strange and silent.

Jiang Heng wouldn’t easily bother with a woman, naturally, he wouldn’t make things difficult for Bai Xi.

After Bai Xi left, Jiang Heng said to Bai Xuan, "Bai Xi seems to have deep hostility towards you. Is there some grudge between you two sisters?"

Bai Xuan felt guilty, not sure how to explain the grievance between her and Bai Xi, Jie Siyu said angrily, "What kind of grudge could they have? Bai Xi is just an ungrateful brat; when she was found and brought back, she was already tainted with bad habits. Bai Xuan didn’t want her to ruin her life, so she was stricter in her discipline. Bai Xi, therefore, resented her sister."

Jie Siyu forced a smile at Jiang Heng, saying with shame, "Xuan’er married well and has a loving husband like you doting on her. Bai Xi must be jealous."

Hearing Jie Siyu’s explanation, Jiang Heng seemed to believe it and did not pursue it further. "Alright, Xuan’er is frightened; let’s head back."

Jie Siyu quickly responded, "Okay!"

Jiang Heng directly picked Bai Xuan up in a princess carry and took her back to the car. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

After Jie Siyu got in the car, Jiang Heng said to them, "Mother-in-law, Xuan’er, you two rest here for a while. I just ran into an acquaintance and will go have a word."

"Alright."

As soon as Jiang Heng left, Jie Siyu glared at Bai Xuan and said, "What did you want to ask Bai Xi earlier?"

"Mom, did you see that Bai Xi also has a scar on her wrist?" Bai Xuan frowned slightly and murmured, "I never noticed before."

She asked Jie Siyu, "Do you know how she got that wound?"

Jie Siyu stared blankly out of the window, saying absent-mindedly, "How would I know?"

Bai Xuan analyzed, "The scar looks old. Could it have been from the years she was missing?"

Seeing Jie Siyu still lost in thought, Bai Xuan held her fingers, squeezing them a bit, and curiously asked, "When the police contacted you to take Bai Xi back home, didn’t they say anything about her experiences over the years she was away?"

Jie Siyu shook her head, "The police didn’t elaborate, only said they stumbled upon Bai Xi while arresting a criminal organization."

Jie Siyu warned Bai Xuan, "Xuan’er, your sister was raised by a criminal organization; her hands can’t be clean. I was just afraid that if her doings got exposed, it might ruin your future, that’s why I tried to get her out of the way."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuan found it absurd.

Bai Xuan sneered, "A mother drugged the milk and tricked me, the sister, into delivering it to her. Because you know, she’s wary of family and only trusts me."

"Selling her to a wealthy businessman as a mistress, is this how you get her away?" Bai Xuan felt chilled, "Even if her past is a ticking time bomb, you could disown her openly. Why harm her like that?"

"Mom, she’s still your daughter after all!"

Over the years Bai Xuan often wondered: If her mother could sell Bai Xi without hesitation, would she also betray her one day in times of hardship?

As a mother being speculated like this by her daughter, Jie Siyu was both angry and furious. "When you accuse me, you seem so justified. Yet, all along you turned a blind eye to what happened to her."

"Bai Xuan, how good are you?"

Bai Xuan’s face was pale as wax, and for a moment, she couldn’t utter a single word.

In the matter of Bai Xi, Jie Siyu was the mastermind, and Bai Xuan was an accomplice. Neither was more noble or cleaner than the other.

The car was silent for a while before Jie Siyu’s cold and ruthless voice sounded, "Xuan’er, remember, from the moment we teamed up to harm Bai Xi, she was no longer family."

"That girl showed us hatred today; she must never appear again. Her frequent appearances will only irritate Jiang Heng. Over time, he’ll develop opinions about you and our family."

Bai Xuan understood this principle too.

She said, "I’ll keep an eye out."

The mother and daughter assumed the car was empty, and their conversation was absolutely safe. They didn’t know, however, that the cautious Jiang Heng had installed trackers and eavesdropping devices in every Jiang Family car.

The data from the trackers and eavesdropping devices were transmitted in real-time back to the Jiang Family’s safe house.

The reason for this setup was to prevent any unexpected danger the Jiang Family might face outside, so the Jiang Family Death Servants could be promptly dispatched for rescue.

Following Medicine Farmer Star’s guidance, Jiang Heng searched around the mausoleum before finding the specified location.

There was a perennial plant just reaching his waist, with a sunflower inserted on it.

Jiang Heng took down the sunflower and found a bamboo tube tied to the flower’s stem and a small green pill the size of a fingernail.

Opening the bamboo tube, inside was a prescription.

The prescription detailed dozens of Chinese medicinal herbs needed to treat Bai Xuan.

But just these herbs couldn’t control Bai Xuan’s condition; it must be paired with the green pill Medicine Farmer Star left for him.

According to Medicine Farmer Star, this green pill was made from a creature called the Cold Ice Earth Dragon.

Not being able to meet Medicine Farmer Star himself, Jiang Heng felt regretful, but obtaining the prescription made the trip worthwhile. Jiang Heng treasured the prescription, carefully folding it and placing it in the inner pocket of his suit for safekeeping.

He turned to walk towards the mausoleum entrance, but got a call from the Death Servant Captain on the way.

"Young Boss," the captain told Jiang Heng, "while monitoring the car you used today in real-time at the safe house, we heard an important message. Do you want to listen?"

Jiang Heng said, "Send me the monitoring audio." Intuition told him that Jie Siyu and Bai Xuan were discussing Bai Xi in the car.

Jiang Heng always felt there was a strong sense of discord between the girl named Bai Xi and the chaotic little daughter Jie Siyu spoke of.

He didn’t think Bai Xi was that type of person.

Moreover, Bai Xi’s hostility towards Bai Xuan was too evident.

Although deeply in love with Bai Xuan, Jiang Heng knew what kind of person Bai Xuan’s biological mother Jie Siyu was.

She was a vain woman, one not to be completely trusted.

The Death Servant Captain soon sent an audio file to Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng opened it, standing in place listening quietly to the conversation between Jie Siyu and Bai Xuan.

After turning off his phone, Jiang Heng looked towards the parking lot opposite the mausoleum entrance.

His eyes, uncommonly, showed a look of perplexity.

If not for hearing this audio file, Jiang Heng wouldn’t believe that his beloved could be such a cold, selfish woman.

Bai Xi was her own sister!

Even if Bai Xuan didn’t know about the drugged milk, she should have stood up to protect her sister after knowing her mother sold her.

When she was young, Bai Xuan was a kind, brave girl. She even bled herself to feed him, unable to bear watching him die of thirst.

How did such a kind and brave girl become like this?
