Zhao Chuchu was meticulously raised since childhood. Relying on her adoptive mother's doting and wealth, she indulged in idleness, eating, drinking, and merry-making, visiting brothels, and tea...
Wei Yong did not agree with the two of them being together.
But Bai Heng, who had never disobeyed his father since he was a child, was resolute this time.
The two of them were almost on the verge of breaking off their relationship before Bai Heng finally married Wei Xuan.
But not long after, her father wanted to arrange for her to marry Wang Run, who was still very young at the time, as a junior minister. He said that he had originally intended for Wang Run to marry her, and now that Bai Heng had married Wei Xuan, he must at least marry Wang Run as a junior minister.
Bai Heng naturally refused.
To her, Wang Run is just a child, a junior.
My father said that for a woman, especially one who has achieved great success and serves as an official in the court, it is normal to have three husbands and four concubines.
But my father forgot that when he married my mother, he made an agreement with her that she was not allowed to take in a young minister.
Because of this incident, the relationship between the father and daughter became strained again, and the birth of Bai Chu directly affected their relationship.
Later, there were always conflicts when Wei Yong and Wei Xuan got along with each other.
Bai Heng had to separate the two. Wei Yong lived in his hometown to retire, and they would choose a fixed time every year to go back to visit him.
So many years have just passed like this.
However, as time passes, the unresolved conflicts remain. When I recall everything from my childhood, it is still vivid in my mind.
Wei Yong was stunned for a moment as Bai Heng recounted what happened back then. The anger on his face had long since disappeared. He opened his mouth and asked, "So, are you blaming me?"
Bai Heng shook his head. "No, I've never blamed you. I've given up before, but I won't regret it, and I won't blame anyone else. But..." She paused, pulled Wei Xuan to her side, and interlocked their fingers. "Father, I can give up a thousand things, but I won't give up on Xuan no matter what. He's more important than my life."
Wei Yong's finger, which was pointing at Bai Heng, was shaking violently, and he was speechless for a moment.
After a long time, when everyone thought he was about to explode in even greater anger, he suddenly lowered his fingers, and his whole body shrank as if the air had been suddenly sucked out of a ball.
He slowly lowered his eyes, making it impossible for people to see the emotions in his eyes. He spoke with a slightly hoarse voice and a self-deprecating smile: "I have always been thinking wrongly. I have always regarded you as the child who needed me back then, but I forgot that my sister Heng has grown up a long time ago. Yes, you have married a husband, and Brother Chu is also fifteen years old and a local official.
Forget it, I am old now, and I will not get involved in your affairs anymore."
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Uncle, you..." Wang Run was unwilling. He couldn't bear to watch Wei Yong leave, so he quickly grabbed his sleeve.
He was a little excited and pulled with more force. Wei Yong staggered and almost fell. Wei Xuan took a few steps forward and hurriedly supported him.
Wang Run was startled and quickly let go of his hand, tears welling up in his eyes: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean it."
Wei Yong didn't look at Wang Run, but looked at Wei Xuan who was supporting him.
Wei Xuan met his gaze, pursed her lips, and was afraid that he would be angry, so she hurriedly let go of his hand.
Wei Yong gently patted the back of his hand with a soothing look.
"Wei Xuan, Sister Heng loves you, so you should live a good life with her. Your father-in-law apologizes to you for what happened before, so don't blame Sister Heng."
Wei Xuan was a little confused and flattered. He didn't expect him to apologize to him.
