"Master Bai, you're really good at shirking responsibility! It's obvious that you favored your concubine over your wife, and were so cold and indifferent to your first wife! Now my mother has divorced you, and your career has been affected, yet you come here and try to clear your name. How can you be so shameless?"
"Ruo Wei, what nonsense are you talking about? I was indeed very busy and neglected your mother, but what you said about favoring a concubine and abandoning the wife is completely false! Look, there is no concubine in the mansion."
"you--"
Faced with Bai Zhonghe's question, Bai Ruowei really couldn't say anything.
Bai Fengyao was the daughter of him and his concubine. He favored Bai Fengyao only because she could bring him huge benefits.
But he was so indifferent to his mother, and even let Bai Fengyao, a concubine's daughter, ride on her head and act tyrannically. Isn't this unfair? Isn't it unfair?
"Leave here immediately! Since my mother has already divorced you, she will never come back to you!"
She couldn't argue with Bai Zhonghe, and she was also afraid that if Bai Zhonghe continued to stay here, she and her mother would be branded as cruel and vicious.
Bai Zhonghe sighed, looking helpless.
He continued to kneel outside the door.
It had just snowed and there was still some snow on the ground. He was kneeling like that, which earned him a lot of sympathy.
Everyone around was trying to persuade Bai Ruowei, saying that a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace after being married for a day. Some even advised her to stay out of the affairs between her parents, so as not to make herself unpopular.
Bai Ruowei clearly saw the disgust in everyone's eyes. She was a person who had restrained herself and received a lady's education since childhood, but she was so angry that she was speechless.
At this moment, the gate suddenly opened.
Mrs. Bai walked out slowly.
Bai Zhonghe's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Hui Niang."
"Bai Zhonghe, you and I have already divorced, and it was the Emperor who granted our divorce. We were husband and wife, and I believe I have never done anything to wrong you, but you have chilled my heart."
Mrs. Bai didn't say much, but she clearly expressed the sadness she had felt over the years.
Those who had previously persuaded the couple to reconcile now shut their mouths, fearing that they would be blamed by Mrs. Bai.
"Hui Niang, I know I didn't cherish you before and broke your heart. Can you give me another chance and let me make it up to you and Ruo Wei?"
"Bai Zhonghe, the love between you and me as husband and wife has come to an end. If you continue to cause trouble here, I will have no choice but to go to the palace and ask the emperor to make the decision!"
Bai Ruowei only felt that Mrs. Bai seemed to be surrounded by light at this moment. She couldn't help but redden her eyes. She strode forward and hugged her tightly.
Mrs. Bai patted her back gently, and the mother and daughter smiled at each other.
Bai Zhonghe didn't get any benefits and left in disappointment.
Bai Ruowei laughed and cried: "Mom, you were really great just now."
Growing up, her mother has always been a gentle woman. To put it nicely, she is gentle and obedient, but to put it bluntly, she is a softie.
I didn't expect that she would say such words in public.
"Before, it was because I was too weak that I made you suffer so much."
"I don't feel wronged." Bai Ruowei wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Ruowei, mother plans to go to Jingyue Temple for asceticism after you marry the Eighth Prince."
"Mom, I won't get married."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Although the Eighth Prince doesn't have any big ambitions, he will definitely be a good husband. If you miss him, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"Mom!" Bai Ruowei sniffed, "I'll talk to him and have you stay over there for a while."
"You!" Madam Bai tapped her forehead, "You just say such naive and foolish things!"
What happened here soon reached Qu Li's ears. Qu Li was surprised that Mrs. Bai finally understood.
"Don't worry about this matter. As long as Madam Bai doesn't back down, Bai Zhonghe will naturally not cause trouble for himself again!" Feng Yi played with her slender fingers.
"It's not your toy, stop it." She pulled her hand away.
"I just want to stay like this with Li'er forever."
"Aren't you afraid that the whole court will say I'm a beauty who brings disaster?"
"Who dares?" His gentle eyes were filled with sternness, as if he would twist off the head of anyone who dared to talk nonsense.
Qu Li was amused by him, "You!"
On the other side, Changle went to see Xiao Xian.
She stared at Xiao Xian's dark black hair, which made Xiao Xian's scalp tingle.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing! Seventh cousin, why do I feel like you have some white hair?"
Xiao Xian did not refute.
Watching Qu Li and Feng Yi being so sweet together, he felt depressed and more and more white hairs started growing on his temples.
"I'll help you pull it out, okay?"
Xiao Xian frowned suspiciously, his eyes full of judgment.
Changle had a good relationship with him since childhood, and before Xiao Xian could respond, she came forward and grabbed two or three hairs without saying a word and pulled them out forcefully.
"hiss--"
Xiao Xian rubbed his aching scalp and looked at the few strands of black hair in Changle's hand, with dark clouds rolling in his inky eyes.
Changle was so frightened by the cold air emanating from his body that even his breathing changed.
"I……"
"Changle, why on earth did you pull my hair?"
"I just saw that you had some gray hair, so I helped you pull it out."
After all, Xiao Xian was just an ancient man and did not understand DNA testing technology, so he did not think too much about it.
He said with a stern face: "My body and hair are given by my parents. You are being disrespectful to my mother."
Changle's nose suddenly turned sour: "Seventh cousin, you are very concerned about the rumors outside, right?"
"not give a damn about."
"Don't be like this! Those people are talking nonsense! You need to cheer up."
Xiao Xian suddenly laughed.
He drank heavily every night, living a life of drunkenness and dreams. His handsome face now had a haggard and experienced beauty, which made Changle feel a little depressed.
The brother and sister chatted for a few more words, and Changle took the hair and returned to Wenzhaoyuan.
Qu Li saw that her eyes were red and she looked depressed. He frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you get scolded?"
After all, these ancient people treasured their hair very much, and Changle was a carefree person, so there was no guarantee that Xiao Xian would scold her.
"No." Changle pursed her lips: "I just suddenly felt that my seventh cousin was quite miserable!"
Qu Li was silent.
"It was Bai Fengyao who shamelessly pretended to be Seventh Cousin's savior and deliberately sowed discord between you and Seventh Cousin, leading to so many misunderstandings between you. If it weren't for Bai Fengyao, you and Seventh Cousin would definitely not have ended up like this."
Qu Li looked at the sky outside.
After the snow, the sky is as blue as a mirror, which makes people happy just by looking at it.
"Changle, even if Bai Fengyao wasn't there, Xiao Xian and I wouldn't have had a happy ending."
After all, the previous owner was a love-brained person, with Xiao Xian all in her eyes and heart. It was impossible for her to catch Xiao Xian's eye, and the two of them were destined not to be happy!
