Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 288 Despicable

"Oh? How to take care of her? Poison Nanchun's food?" Bai Xun said coldly.

A trace of panic and astonishment flashed across Butler Yan's face. His lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something but stopped several times. It seemed that he wanted to explain himself but couldn't find the right words.

"How...how could it be..." He forced a smile that was uglier than crying, "Really not...the head of the family would never give such an order..."

"Who is the head of the family?" Bai Xun looked straight at him.

Butler Yan's legs felt a little weak. He swallowed and wiped the sweat from his forehead in panic.

"Who is the head of the family?" Bai Xun asked again.

Steward Yan lowered his eyes and said, "You... Second Young Master."

"Then whose orders should you obey?" Bai Xun asked.

"Follow the orders of the master." Butler Yan replied.

"Tell me, what orders did your grandfather give you?" Bai Xun asked.

Butler Yan lowered his head and his hands hung weakly. He was silent for a moment, then knelt in front of Bai Xun.

"Second Young Master...Master, I...I don't want to do this. Second Young Master's Madam, he is a good man. He is very kind to us servants...but, I have no choice." Butler Yan cried bitterly.

Bai Xun's heart sank as if into an icy cave. He stepped forward, grabbed Butler Yan by the collar, and demanded sternly, "What kind of poison did you give him? How long have you been using it? Is there an antidote?"

Steward Yan hurriedly shook his head and said, "No...it's not poison! Second Young Master, it's opium...it's the family head...it's a secret recipe given by the old family head. He asked me to add it to Second Young Madam's food every day."

Opium? It's actually opium?

Bai Xun frowned. If he got involved with that thing, there would be no good outcome.

"How long has it been?" Bai Xun asked.

Steward Yan said tremblingly, "Not... not long. The Second Young Madam is very busy and often doesn't eat at Baiyuan. I just... just wait for her to come back in the evening and bring her a bowl of soup. I... I don't want to harm the Second Young Madam, so the amount I give is very small. Besides, the old patriarch sent a message saying... the Second Young Madam can still be of use. Let me take my time and let her live for another two or three years."

Bai Xun let go, sat back on the sofa, and covered his face with his hands in pain.

Not only do they want to use Nanchun, but they also want to kill him while using him.

At this moment, Bai Xun felt heartbroken and ashamed.

"Master... please kill me!" Butler Yan cried bitterly.

Bai Xun looked at him coldly and said in a hoarse voice, "I want to kill you, but not now. If Grandfather comes to ask you about it later, just say that everything is going according to their plan. You must tell me any instructions they give you.

As for Nanchun, if you dare to do anything again, I will make you live a life worse than death. You may not be afraid of death, but does the one you secretly keep outside fear death? And that little one, I won't kill him, but I can make sure he has a miserable life.

How did the second young master know?

Steward Yan was extremely panicked, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Just remember, I am the head of the Bai family." Bai Xun said.

Butler Yan slumped down on the ground and said hurriedly, "Little one... understands."

Hearing the noise downstairs, Nanchun was afraid that Bai Xun would come back, so she walked lightly back to her room.

He touched his violently beating chest.

really……

Just like in his previous life, the head of the family wanted to slowly kill him with opium.

He deliberately switched things up with Bai Xun just to test Butler Yan and make Bai Xun notice something was wrong.

If Butler Yan had put something in his soup, he would definitely not let Bai Xun drink it. If he gave his soup to Bai Xun, Butler Yan would be anxious, and anxiety would reveal his true intentions.

Sure enough, Butler Yan used the same trick again and knocked over the soup bowl.

Nanchun took the opportunity to bring up the incident where Butler Yan had knocked over the soup bowl in the trading company.

Bai Xun is very smart and perceptive, he will definitely be able to notice something strange about Steward Yan.

Sure enough, the next day Bai Xun took the initiative to ask to try his wontons, which made Butler Yan lose his composure again.

Now, Bai Xun knows the truth.

What will he do next?

Nanchun suddenly felt that he was despicable. It should have been him who had to face it and make the choice.

But he threw this difficult choice to Bai Xun, and then hid in the dark waiting for Bai Xun's choice.

Bai Xun sat downstairs for a long time.

From the tomb-robbing incident, he already understood that his grandfather would do anything to achieve his goals.

But why use opium?

The Bai family owns a herbal medicine shop, wouldn’t it be more convenient to poison them?

"Butler Yan, why do you use opium? Is this the method you came up with to harm people?" Bai Xun asked.

Steward Yan shook his head and said, "It wasn't my idea. It was the old patriarch who sent someone to tell him that the opium was also sent over from there."

Why did my grandfather have opium and even use it to harm people?

Mingming's grandfather had always told him and his brother not to touch opium since they were young.

Bai Xun then asked, "Have you used this method to harm others before?"

Steward Yan quickly waved his hands and said, "No, I...I just heard my brother mention it before when we were at the old house. He said that this secret recipe can kill people invisibly and can also control people, to...use it for his own benefit."

"Bai Shan?" Bai Xun frowned.

"Well, you know, I'm not as capable as my brother. Before, I was just doing a minor job in the eldest young master's courtyard in the old house. Later, Baiyuan needed someone, and the eldest young master thought I was quite handy, so he brought me to Baiyuan. This is really the first time I've done this!" Butler Yan said crying.

Bai Xun was full of doubts.

"Okay, go back to your room! Remember what I just said to you. Not only say it with your mouth, but also remember in your heart who is the head of the family." Bai Xun said.

Butler Yan kowtowed and said, "Yes, Patriarch."

After Butler Yan left, Bai Xun sat for a while.

Now he owed Nanchun another blood debt.

He didn’t dare to think…

What would happen if Nanchun knew that his grandfather had killed his sister, tricked his grandfather into helping the Bai family do tomb robbing, and even wanted to harm him...?

Nanchun always said that he was a gentleman, but he knew better than anyone how despicable he was.

In order to keep Nanchun by his side, he didn't even want his crimes to be exposed to the world. He hoped to hide these crimes so that Nanchun would never know...

The door opened and Bai Xun walked in.

He lay down beside Nanchun and watched him quietly in the darkness. After a long while, he reached out and gently touched his face.

Why can’t I keep the things I like?

When he was a child, his grandparents would always take away anything he loved.

Because the head of the Bai family cannot let anyone exploit his weaknesses.

So he rescued the kitten, but treated it coldly.

Only in this way can it live well.

But Nanchun...

I noticed that Bai Xun's breathing was very unstable and he seemed very nervous.

Nanchun pretended to unconsciously move closer to Bai Xun's arms, and the next second Bai Xun hugged him tightly in his arms.

My Nanchun.
