This Young Master Bai confessed his crimes in an extremely straightforward manner. He explained everything that had happened to him and his father.
The scene was so cold that it made one feel chill all over.
Bai Qinxiang suddenly coughed. Then, she spat a mouthful of blood.
"My Father said that he wasn't good-looking, talented, or virtuous. He wasn't worthy of you, but he was unwilling. He was afraid that after he died, you would find someone else, especially that good-looking scholar. From then on, your life would be perfect and you would definitely forget about him. If that was the case, he would be too pitiful.
"I felt the same way. That's why I did what Father didn't finish.
"A few days ago, a master came to Xunxian County to handle the case. I knew that I might not be able to make it through this time. That's why I put poison into the cup of tea that the servant gave you just now.
"In that case, mother wouldn't be left alone in this world.
"How great would that be?" Young Master Bai was still smiling.
His voice was soft, and Bai Qinxiang clutched her stomach, rolling around in pain.
Zhao Xuanjing called for a doctor.
Of course, it was too late.
In a short while, she was gone.
Her eyes were wide open.
A spirit floated out of her body. Xie Qiao wondered if she should put this spirit away herself, but it was rather straightforward. It had no obsession, and it was sent to hell directly. It was quite a pleasant feeling.
Then, Young Master Bai smiled and said, "I thought that if Mother and I were gone one day, no one would inherit the Bai family's property. But after thinking about it, I forgot about Pang Xiyuan's daughter."
He killed a scholar and then his mother with his own hands. He had no right to control the hefty property of the family.
He had to watch it fall into the hands of others.
He was still unwilling.
However, his father never cared about the family's wealth. He only cared about his mother.
It was funny that in her eyes, his father was a vulgar person who was greedy for money.
He did not resist and allowed Xie Pinggang and Zhou Weizong to tie him up.
The entire Bai family was in a panic.
This was not something the criminal division could handle. They immediately took him away.
The fire murder case was very famous in Xun County. Many people had guessed that there were vengeful spirits there. Zhao Xuanjing had solved the case, and it did not take long for the news to spread.
Everyone sighed.
They could not believe that Madam Bai was actually so promiscuous in private when they thought she was pure and innocent.
It was fine for her to give birth to Pang Xiyuan's son. After all, Pang Xiyuan was a womanizer. Few women could escape his seduction. However, what about the other scholars?
If one were to call the Bai family's son-in-law terrifying, he was also pitiful.
Young Master Bai had already been sent to the local administrative office.
Early the next morning, Xie Qiao and Zhao Xuanjing were sitting downstairs eating when Young Lady Pang arrived in front of them in a hurry.
She stared at Zhao Xuanjing with a burning gaze, and there was a hint of shyness and warmth in her eyes. "T-Thank you."
"Your Mother is dead, and you're thanking me." Zhao Xuanjing chuckled.
Xie Qiao's hand that was holding the chopsticks trembled.
"No... A-Although she's my Mother, what she did made me feel ashamed. She was actually so licentious and unchaste. I won't acknowledge her as my Mother!" Pang Hanwei had a look of disdain.
"Is that so? You don't acknowledge your Mother, but you acknowledge your family property? Young Lady Pang is a clever person." Zhao Xuanjing did not hold back his sarcasm. He was spot-on with his comment.
Even Xie Qiao could not help but applaud.
When they saw Young Lady Pang earlier, she was wearing simple and plain clothes.. Today, she was wearing a new set of clothes with excellent materials.
