Chapter 593 The black hand hidden behind the scenes(1/2)

In the end, Bai Qiyun gave up walking and chose to use pure water to get him to his destination.

After all, he had to be forced to fall asleep at ten o'clock in the evening, and it was too dangerous to rest outside.

The first thing Bai Qiyun visited was the branch where the younger generation was male.

The branch manor was countless times smaller than the main family's, but it was still much more luxurious than most people's residences in Mondstadt.

Looking at the courtyard in front of him, which covered an area of ​​at least several hundred square meters, Bai Qiyun subconsciously compared it with Chenxi Winery.

It has to be said that in terms of exquisite design details, even the branch of the Lawrence family is not inferior to anyone.

Two or three servants could be seen vaguely cleaning in the courtyard, but they were all very old. Both the housekeeper and the maid could clearly see the white hair mixed in with the black hair.

Bai Qiyun cleared his throat.

"Is anyone home?"

His call was quickly answered.

A man in his late fifties walked out of the courtyard. He seemed to be the housekeeper here.

His face was warm, and he didn't look like someone from an old aristocratic family at all.

"Sir, what can I do for you?"

"I'm here to deliver things to someone. The Lawrence family asked me to give these gifts to the owner of this family."

"The Lawrence family..."

Hearing this, the butler looked startled.

He reacted very quickly, and matters involving his master's family were not something he could decide.

The housekeeper smiled slightly and said.

"I'm sorry, guest, please wait a moment, I'll go and inform the master and madam."

"Not in a hurry."

Bai Qiyun waved his hand, indicating to the housekeeper not to worry about him.

Soon, the butler's figure disappeared in front of the house.

In order to provide a good excuse for his temptation, he specifically asked for some gifts from Yula.

It just so happened that the Wine Festival was here, so it was natural for the main family to give something to the branch family, not to mention that it was natural for the main family to regain the management rights of the territory.

After a while, the butler who disappeared before appeared again in front of Bai Qiyun.

"This gentleman, our master has invited you."

"You're welcome, just lead the way."

Following the butler's footsteps, Bai Qiyun walked into this manor, which was at least hundreds of years old.

The road from the front yard to the main house is not long, and some trees that Bai Qiyun cannot name are planted around it to isolate the yard from the outside world.

After passing the front door, the two came to the living room of the main house.

The interior layout is the same as that of Lawrence's house, but there are many more porcelains placed aside. It seems that this style is still from Liyue.

Bai Qiyun also knows many of their bosses.

Of course, there are still a few expensive antiques, and they are not cheap either.

It's just that the number of these porcelains is a little too much.

There were four or five vases placed on the bookcase, on the floor, on the table, on the coffee table, and even next to the sofa.

I don’t know what this family is thinking.

There were several sofas in the reception room, and three well-dressed people were sitting on them, talking and laughing.

The two older ones are obviously the head and mistress of the family. It has to be said that their appearance is far worse than Alina and the others. You can clearly feel the traces of time left on their faces.

It is completely incomparable with Alina's appearance, which is almost forty but still looks like she is in her early twenties.

In addition, a young man sat on the side seat with a happy smile on his face.

It's just that Bai Qiyun's smile seems to be somewhat fake.

Is this son really his biological son?

The housekeeper came up to the owner of the house and said softly.

"Sir, the guests are here."

Hearing this, the head of the family was shocked. He stopped talking to his family and turned to look at the person coming.

Bai Qiyun was still wearing the same Liyue dress he wore when he met Youla's parents, and his appearance was still impeccable.

In other words, for these old aristocrats who are extremely particular, foreign culture is the hardest thing to cause them displeasure.

Because they don't understand.

"This gentleman is..."

The head of the house stood up and took the initiative to greet him.

As the master, he obviously gave enough face by doing this.

If people respect me one foot, I respect others one foot.

Bai Qiyun naturally did not dare to neglect.

"Mr. Master, please take a seat. I have been entrusted by Mr. Archibald to deliver holiday gifts to your family."

"Oh, it's Mr. Archibald. That's really disrespectful."

It seems that the head of the branch family is also a very particular person.

After taking the gift from Bai Qiyun, the head of the family thought for a moment and said to his son.

"Brenda, you stay with this gentleman for a while, and your mother and I will pick out some gifts for Mr. Archibald."

"Yes, father."

The head of the family smiled and nodded to Bai Qiyun.

"Sir, please wait a little longer. I'll excuse you now."

"It's okay, Master, please help yourself."

After a while, only Bai Qiyun and Brenda were left in the room, and even the previous housekeeper retreated.

The man in front of me is not very old, probably in his early twenties, but his face shows that he is pretending to be mature.

With short brown hair, a delicate face, and an aristocratic temperament, if it weren't for the Lawrence family, thousands of girls would probably be fascinated by this face.

"I wonder what I call you sir?"

Brenda asked with a smile.

As a host, his etiquette is still very thoughtful.

Bai Qiyun sat opposite him, looking at each other and smiling back.

"I'm Bai Qiyun, from Liyue."

"Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Bai. I wonder why Mr. Bai wants to give gifts to Mr. Archibald."

"Ha, this is a long story. In short, I have a close relationship with Miss Youla, so I was sent out as a coolie by the old gentleman."

As soon as these words came out, the corners of Brenda's eyes trembled a little.

Although he concealed it very well, he still couldn't hide it from Bai Qiyun's eyes.

Haha, you can’t sit still at this level?

Bai Qiyun cursed in his heart.

"I see, I didn't expect that child Yula to find the right person."

"Indeed, when we first met, she was still cold, like a moving iceberg."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Bai Qiyun seemed not to notice anything strange about Brenda, and continued to talk to himself.

After saying that, he pretended to be shy and touched his cheek with his fingertips.

"But after getting along with each other more, I found that Youla's nature is still very good. After all, even if the ice cube is warmed, it will melt, right?"

"Ah...um."

Seeing Brenda's extremely concealed expression, Bai Qiyun couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart.

But after all, we can’t alert others in the slightest, so it’s better to stop talking about Youla.

"By the way, Mr. Brenda, I see there are so many porcelains in the room. Does your mother like porcelain?"

This is not because Bai Qiyun is looking for a topic, he is really curious.

"This... is actually a batch of goods I handled recently. There was a lot of porcelain in it, but the recipient had some accidents. These goods can only be kept at my house temporarily, but don't they look pretty good?"

Brenda picked up a small and exquisite vase and placed it on the coffee table. There were several cyan patterns floating on the white base glaze, which looked extremely clean and pure.
