Chapter 689: Sincerity
If they lose their use one day, will Pei Qinghan still keep them, two people, who may expose the inside story at any time?
At that time, she and Bai Xiaofeng will definitely end up like Bai Dazhu and Bai Dabao.
Mrs. Liu slumped on the ground and did not move for a while. At this time, she was regretting it. Their family shouldn’t have come to the capital. Although they live in poverty, at least they have a house to live in, have food to eat, and their family was together.
What about now?
Everything was gone, everything was gone.
Seeing her look like this, Bai Xiaofeng felt even more upset. Knowing that no words will work at the moment, he simply shut his mouth and waited for his mother to clear her mind.

In the Meng Family Mansion.
After reading the letter from Qingyuan Town, Meng Nan’s face was filled with disappointment. Then, he leaned his back on the chair, crumpled the letter, and threw it on the floor.
Jin Shiwei picked up the paper ball and looked at it carefully. After reading it, he frowned: “Miss Bai is still not there. It’s been so long. Why she hasn’t returned to Qingyuan? Could it be—” He didn’t continue to say the rest of his words. He simply swallowed them.
Meng Nan closed his eyes in heartache.
“Gongzi, Ke Gongzi came to see you!” The servant came to report.
Young Master Ke? Meng Nan raised an eyebrow. Ke Xicheng, who went with him to Qingyuan to pick up his sister last time?
What is he doing here? Since they returned from Qingyuan last time, they haven’t seen each other again, nor keep in touch.
Jin Shiwei asked Meng Nan: “He came to see you?”
Meng Nan nodded his head and said: “Let him wait to the Partial Hall.”
Not long after, Meng Nan arrived at the partial hall. Ke Xicheng had already arrived there. He was sitting in the chair while drinking tea. When he saw him coming in, he immediately got up and cupped his hands: “Meng Gongzi.”
Meng Nan replied: “Ke Gongzi, no need to pay me greetings.”
When they exchanged a few words, Meng Nan felt impatient, so he bluntly asked: “I don’t know what is the reason why Ke Gongzi came in here today?”
Ke Xicheng sincerely replied: “In fact, there is no particular reason. I just felt a little tangled in my heart. After pondering for a moment, I decided to come here and have a good talk to Meng Gongzi.”
Meng Nan raised an eyebrow: “Oh? And what is this about?”
Ke Xicheng asked, “I wonder if Meng Gongzi has seen Miss Bai recently?”
Meng Nan sighed in his heart and shook his head: “No, why is Ke Gongzi asking?”
Ke Xicheng smiled and said: “From what you said, it seems Meng Gongzi still doesn’t know the whereabouts of Miss Bai.”
Looking at Ke Xicheng’s smiling face, Meng Nan’s heart jumped. He immediately stood up from the chair and asked urgently: “Ke Gongzi knows her whereabouts?”
Ke Xicheng also stood up from his chair and replied: “I met her by chance on the street a few days ago. I find it strange at the time that she suddenly appeared in the capital. At first, I thought Meng Gongzi knew that she was in the capital and you just didn’t come out with her. I didn’t know what happened in Qingyuan until yesterday. So I thought that Meng Gongzi might not know her whereabouts. I was afraid that you would be in a hurry, so I came here to let you know. It seems that my trip was not in vain.”
Meng Nan asked urgently: “Where is she now? Which inn she is staying in?”
Ke Xicheng shook his head: “I don’t know that. When I met her on the street that day, she was with Prince Jin. Then she got into the carriage of the Dongfang family. Aunt Zhao and Uncle Hu were also there. They didn’t seem to be staying in an inn. They should have settled in the capital.”
In fact, what Ke Xicheng wanted to ask is, how did Miss Bai, a girl from the mountain village know Prince Jin?
But looking at Meng Nan’s expression right now, it’s better not to ask.
Meng Nan rushed out of the partial hall. He didn’t even say goodbye. Jin Shiwei had to laugh awkwardly at Ke Xicheng. Then, he apologized with cupped fists and turned around to catch up.
