Looking at the silhouettes of the three women disappearing on the horizon, Ah Zi was filled with envy.
After a while, she suddenly came to her senses and asked: "Cousin, where are my sisters and the others going?"
Because of Wang Yuyan's special status in this family, A'Zhu, A Bi, A'Zi and Li Shishi still called Wang Yuyan Miss Cousin as before. They originally called her Young Madam, but since Murong Fu appointed Xiao Qi as Princess, this The title was inappropriate, so they called Wang Yuyan Miss Cousin again, just like how Wang Yuyan still calls Murong Fu cousin, a title that belongs exclusively to her.
The same is true for Xue Qing. A'Zhu is her biological aunt, so she calls her aunt, and Wang Yuyan is her eldest brother's biological mother, so she calls Wang Yuyan her aunt, and the other aunts each have their surname or given name.
Facing Azi's inquiry, Wang Yuyan patiently told her the whole story.
Ah Zi said "Oh" and didn't care much at first, but soon her expression changed. ?.?????.???
"Going to Dali? Wouldn't that be..."
"It's impossible. It won't be such a coincidence. Anyway... it's better not to see it."
AhZi's expression suddenly changed. She had never known what it meant to be uneasy, and this was the first time she felt such a deep feeling.
…
Yuxu Guan.
Gan Baofeng stayed in the temple for half a month. Judging from her observation of Dao Baifeng during this period, the princess who was the king of Zhennan in Dali indeed no longer had any feelings for Duan Zhengchun.
Thinking that Dao Baifeng, who was in love with Duan Zhengchun until death, has now completely let go of that relationship. Although Gan Baobao came with other purposes, when he saw such a stoic and free-spirited person, he couldn't help but feel a little... envious.
Compared with Qin Hongmian and Ruan Xingzhu, she actually has a way out. She still has a husband who still loves her deeply even if she is forced to divorce. But she has finally reached this point with great difficulty, so how can she be willing to give up? everything?
Shaking her head, Gan Baobao didn't want to think about these troubles. As the night fell silent, she came outside the walled courtyard alone.
A figure flashed out from the darkness, and the brocade clothes looked even more noble in the bright white moonlight.
Gan Baobao was not surprised by Duan Yu's appearance.
"You know that your mother has no affection for your father, so why do you have to force her so hard?"
There was a bit of remorse, a bit of annoyance and remorse in her eyes, as if she was repenting for what she was about to do.
When Duan Yu heard Gan Baobao's words, a hint of evil flashed in his eyes. He slowly clenched his right hand behind his back, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart. He forced a smile and said: "Auntie misunderstood, my mother is my father's after all." How can this affection for a wife be cut off so easily?"
"You may wish to think about it, what my father fears most in his life is my mother. If my aunt can successfully welcome my mother back to the palace, my father will no longer dare to cheat outside. Then you will be able to live together in harmony. Wouldn’t that be a joy?”
Duan Yu secretly resented the unclear relationship between Dao Baifeng and Murong Fu, and had always wanted to take Dao Baifeng back to the palace to reconcile with his father and end their dirty thoughts.
Unexpectedly, his mother was more decisive than he thought. In desperation, Duan Yu could only join forces with his father to act out this drama. As long as Dao Baifeng could return to the palace voluntarily, the two of them would force her to stay.
At that time, all we need to do is claim that the princess took the initiative to make amends with the prince. If outsiders don't know what's going on, and the reputation of their father and son in the hearts of the people is high, naturally no one will dare to say anything.
Duan Zhengchun is now very obsessed with Dao Baifeng. He goes out to look for flowers and willows, and it is also because when he sees Qin Hongmian and the others at home, he can't help but think of Dao Baifeng. If things were reconciled as before, he would definitely be willing to abandon Qin Hongmian and the others.
Therefore, after hearing Duan Yu's idea, he agreed without hesitation.
In his opinion, Dao Baifeng is his wife. Even if he forces her to stay in the palace, she is just going home and there is nothing wrong with her.
But if they want to avoid outsiders talking, they can't go directly to Yuxu Temple to arrest people. They have to let Dao Baifeng take the initiative to return to the palace. As long as Dao Baifeng takes the initiative to enter the palace, they don't have the final say on how to explain it to the outside world.
But how to get Dao Baifeng to take the initiative to enter the palace has become their current problem.
Duan Zhengchun originally wanted Qin Hongmian, who was close to Dao Baifeng, to deceive him, but when Qin Hongmian learned the whole story, he refused to do anything. Instead, he slapped Duan Zhengchun hard in the face and left angrily.
Duan Zhengchun has been monitored by Qin Hongmian and others over the years, as if the prisoner was mentally tortured and he no longer looks like the humble gentleman he used to be. To prevent Qin Hongmian from going to report, they locked her up directly.
Ruan Xingzhu and Dao Baifeng had no friendship, and due to her unpredictable personality, Duan Zhengchun did not dare to let her go, lest she might startle someone off guard.
After much thought, the father and son set their sights on Gan Baobao and each sang an oboe.
Duan Zhengchun expressed his fear of Dao Baifeng next to Gan Baofeng, and at the same time, he deliberately showed off how cool his life was now in a stimulating way.
Duan Yu, on the other hand, found Gan Baofeng and said that he had good intentions, saying that he couldn't bear to watch his father and several aunts arguing all day long, and hoped that she could help bring Dao Baifeng back. In this way, their relationship crisis would be solved.
Gan Baobao didn't want to lose everything he had now. Even if there was one more person competing for favor, it would be better than Duan Zhengchun endlessly flirting with women outside, so he agreed without much thought.
She originally thought that Dao Baifeng still had feelings for Duan Zhengchun, but now it seems that it is entirely wishful thinking between father and son.
Gan Baofeng, who is also a woman and has had similar experiences, knows very well how painful it is to force herself to be with someone she doesn't love. She was like this when she married Zhong Wanchou, and now she deceived Dao Baifeng back into the palace to do it. The same goes for the princess she doesn't want to be anymore.
But in the face of benefiting others and benefiting herself, Gan Baobao finally chose to benefit herself. She promised Duan Yu that she would cooperate with them in the play tomorrow.
Duan Yu knew very well what Gan Baobao was like and he despised her in his heart, but he still pretended to respect her very much. After comforting her father for a few words and drawing a few cakes, Duan Yu was satisfied. left.
In the cold night sky, half of the moon hung sideways. As a gust of cool wind blew in, a few faintly visible tears in the corners of Gan Baobao's eyes were blown to the ground. The tears were not dry, but the confusion in his eyes was no longer there, and the coldness in his heart was gone. It's a bit colder than this bone-chilling wind.
The next morning, Dao Baifeng got up early and did morning lessons as usual, when suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door from outside Yuxu Temple...
