Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 357: If you try to get the skin of a tiger, you will be eaten by it one day

When Bai Xun returned to the old house, white banners had been hung in the house, and the atmosphere inside and outside the mansion was solemn.

The mourning hall was set up in the main hall, with Mrs. Bai's spirit tablet and coffin placed in the center, and the air was filled with the smell of burning paper money.

"Master, you are finally back..." Butler Bai's voice was hoarse and his eyes were red.

Bai Xun stood at the door and looked at the memorial tablet, feeling mixed emotions.

"Xundi, you're back."

Bai Song walked over in mourning clothes. His expression looked neither sad nor happy, but Bai Xun could feel that he was relaxed, as if relieved from a heavy burden.

"Master, let me take you to change your clothes!" said the butler Bai.

"Go quickly, the guests coming to pay their respects will be arriving soon," said Bo Song.

Bai Xun nodded and followed Butler Bai to the side room.

While changing into mourning clothes, Bai Xun casually asked, "Housekeeper, how did grandma die?"

Butler Bai sighed and said, "Alas, Master, you know the old lady's condition is recurring. That day, after the young master fed her the medicine, he rested for a while as usual.

When it was time to get up, the servants went in and found her gone. They had said she had been in better spirits recently. Who knew she would be gone so soon... Alas! Life is so unpredictable!

Bai Xun changed into mourning clothes in silence and went out.

Funeral music sounded and people came to pay their respects in an endless stream.

They all wore plain clothes, held incense and candles in their hands, walked into the mourning hall, and bowed to the old lady's spirit tablet in respect.

There were so many chores to do that Bai Xun was so busy that he didn't have time to rest until late at night.

He went into the darkness, leaned against the wall, and looked at the burning cigarette in his hand.

Seeing that he had a cigarette in his hand, Bo Song asked, "When did you learn to smoke?"

Bai Xun shook his head and said, "I didn't smoke it. I just lit it and watched it burn down bit by bit."

Bo Song couldn't help but laugh: "What's your hobby?"

Bai Xun said, "Nanchun doesn't smoke, although he hasn't explicitly said he hates the smell of cigarettes. But sometimes when I'm out socializing and smell of cigarettes, he won't be so close to me."

Bo Song leaned against the wall next to him, took the cigarette from his hand and took two puffs.

"When you were little, you weren't very close to anyone, you didn't act like a spoiled brat, and you rarely cried. I used to think you were heartless. Just like what's written in the storybooks, although you're incredibly smart, you don't understand the emotions between people.

"Now it seems I was wrong, terribly wrong. I'm not a good brother. I can't even tell the joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness of my only brother," Bo Song said bitterly.

Bai Xun said, "There is no better brother than you. If you hadn't shouldered the Bai family's dirty deeds for me, I might not be myself anymore."

Bai Song smiled and said, "There's no better brother than you. If it weren't for your courage, strategy, and extraordinary intelligence, you wouldn't have been able to seize control of the Bai family. My mother would still be wronged. I would have been kept in the dark, aiding and abetting the evil.

Okay, let's stop flattering each other. Do you have something to ask me? You've been hesitant to speak all day. If you have something to say, just ask directly."

Bai Xun looked at him and asked, "Grandmother's death..."

"I just told her some of my true feelings. You know, people who do a lot of evil can't even get over their own problems." Bo Song casually blew out a smoke ring. "She should be thankful that she knew the whole truth before she died. She became a clear-headed ghost. Besides, she enjoyed much more happiness than her mother."

Bai Xun didn't say anything, he had guessed it would be like this.

"She doesn't deserve to be buried in the ancestral tomb," Bo Song continued. "I've already made an agreement with the witch doctor. After she's buried, I'll throw her body into the grave on the mountain. The weather is warm now, and it's the season when snakes, insects, rats, and ants are most active. There's no need to even bother with honey."

Seeing that Bai Xun had remained silent, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to object! I thought you would act like the head of the Bai family and tell me that she is our grandmother after all, and the dead are the greatest."

Bai Xun said, "I'm not that magnanimous or kind. Do you want to rebury your mother in the ancestral tomb?"

Bo Song nodded: "That's exactly what I meant."

"Well, let's do as you say." Bai Xun said, "By the way, brother, did Grandfather ever tell you how our Bai family first discovered the approximate location of the Xinchuanling Underground Palace? As far as I know, that location was not found by Grandpa Nan."

Bai Song thought for a moment and said, "That's right, it wasn't Grandpa Nan who found it. I initially thought it was Grandpa Nan who found it. One time when I was searching for the tomb, I mentioned it to Grandpa Nan and asked him how he knew the location of the underground palace. He said that his grandfather gave him a map."

map……

It matches what the Fourth Master said.

Could it be that the person who was placed next to Mr. Sheng San back then was a member of the Bai family?

Bai Xun frowned slightly.

Bai Song continued, "Although we had the map, the Bai family team searched for the underground palace for so long and still couldn't enter. I was upset and complained to my grandfather. I also suspected that there was no underground palace at all.

My grandfather was certain that the Underground Palace existed. I asked him why, and he said that the map was given to him by someone close to the Tomb Seeker Wuming. He had been to the Underground Palace and had actually seen it.

Bai Xun's heart tightened.

There is indeed a traitor around Mr. Sheng Sanye!

"Has our Bai family placed people next to the tomb seeker Wuming? If so, why can't we find the underground fairy palace?" Bai Xun asked.

"I had the same question at the time. My grandfather said that the people around Wuming, the tomb seeker, were not from our Bai family, but from Chen Peng. At that time, that person's family was in Chen Peng's hands. Even so, that person did not reveal much information, only gave Chen Peng a map.

After obtaining the map, Wuming, the tomb seeker, and his companions vanished. Chen Peng only had the map, but he didn't know how to search for tombs himself. And with so many people coveting the underground palace, he had no choice but to guard the map and wait for the right opportunity.

"And this opportunity is our Bai family. He accidentally learned from Feng Deyuan that our Bai family was searching for tombs, so he teamed up with Zhang Jianghua and Feng Deyuan to use this to blackmail the Bai family into his own hands. He wanted to use the Bai family to help him find the underground immortal palace." Bai Song said.

"So, the Bai family started looking for the underground fairy palace because of Chen Peng." Bai Xun said.

Bai Song smiled and said, "Actually, yes and no. Our grandfather also fell into the dream of the underground palace, and he was willing to be driven by Chen Peng. The map of the palace that fell from the sky was a great blessing for him."

However, if you try to get the skin of a tiger, you will be eaten by it one day! The Bai family was treated as a cash cow by Chen Peng and his men, and they suffered terribly. Grandfather could only resort to more unscrupulous means to rob graves and sell opium. Then he placed his hopes on the underground immortal palace.

Bai Xun looked at the dark sky. No wonder his grandfather always said that the underground fairy palace was related to the rise and fall of the Bai family.
