Chapter 431: A Big Piece of Gossip

Translator: Atlas Studios   Editor: Atlas Studios

“Brother, you mean Uncle Cui…” Bai Wan’s eyes flashed with great shock because Cui Cheng was like family to the Bai siblings.

Cui Cheng had been fighting alongside Bai Xiao since he was young. The two of them were as close as brothers, and their residences were adjacent to each other’s.

Cui Ruyu had grown up with the siblings. Bai Wan had always treated her as her own sister.

They were so close that the two families arranged marriage with Madam Cui when Bai Ze was young.

Therefore, Bai Wan never expected that the person who harmed her father and brothers on the battlefield back then would be Cui Cheng.

But she remembered very clearly. Wasn’t Cui Cheng dead?

“Brother, is it really Cui Cheng? But he died on the battlefield with you guys!

In that battle, other than her father and brothers, many soldiers of the East Continent had also perished.

Because Cui Cheng was the deputy general and his father’s right-hand man, his status was not ordinary. Therefore, Bai Wan remembered very clearly that Cui Cheng had also “sacrificed” himself back then.

However, Bai Wan knew her brother’s personality. If there was no solid evidence, her brother would not have directly pointed out that Cui Cheng was the person who harmed them.

Bai Ze recalled. His eyes were bloodshot and filled with hatred. “Dead?

Impossible! I clearly saw him stabbing Father with the Nine Tune Silver Spear.”

If it was someone else who said it, Bai Ze would not believe it easily. However, he had seen it with his own eyes. Cui Cheng had killed his father from behind.

Hearing this, Bai Wan’s face gradually turned pale, and her lips trembled slightly. “Why did he do this? Why did he betray Father?”

Soon, Bai Wan realized that if what her brother said was true, then Cui Cheng’s death back then might have been faked.

Then where was he hiding now, and what identity did he take on?

If they wanted to know this, they could only investigate.

Yun Ran did not believe that a person could really change his appearance and disappear for so many years.

“Get someone to check on his family. Follow his family to check on him.” Of course, she could not let go of any of the Bai family’s enemies.

Investigate!

The 12 Divisions of the Yuan Mansion, as well as Xuanyuan Yu’s people in the East Continent, followed the Cui family’s line of investigation.

Soon, news from the 12 Divisions arrived.

“Cui Cheng died back then, but Cui Ruyu is still alive. Guess where she is now?”

Thunderbolt looked like he had heard a big piece of gossip.

After being glared at by MO Beiyuan, she shrank her head and stopped pretending to be mysterious. She replied quickly, “Cui Ruyu is in the palace now. Her father is dead, but she actually entered the palace and became the emperor’s woman. Tsk tsk tsk..

When Bai Wan heard this, she looked in her brother’s direction. If not for the Bai family’s accident, Cui Ruyu and her brother might have gotten married. Now, Cui Ruyu had become the woman in the emperor’s harem.

“Brother..

Bai Ze knew that she was worried about him. Not to mention that he had nothing to do with Cui Ruyu, even if there was something, Cui Ruyu was Cui Cheng’s daughter and Cui Cheng was the enemy who killed his father. It was impossible for him to have any feelings for her.

“Wan, I’m fine.”

After hearing the news from Thunderbolt, Yun Ran frowned slightly. “Have the secret guards found out when Cui Ruyu entered the palace? How is she doing in the palace? Does the emperor dote on her?”

Cui Cheng was dead, Cui Ruyu had entered the palace, and the Emperor and Cui Cheng had joined forces to harm the Bai family.. Did Cui Ruyu really not know anything?
