When Bai Yu'an woke up slightly, he only heard crying next to him.
The little sobs kept coming, and I couldn't even close my eyes and sleep for a while.
My whole body ached so much that it was difficult to even open my eyes.
Panting, he squinted and looked over. Bai Yu'an could recognize the blurry figure beside the bed even if he couldn't see his face clearly.
But her throat also hurt. She opened her mouth, and it took a long time before she shouted out: "Sister..."
Third sister Bai Luozhu, who was sitting by the bed and crying, saw Bai Yuan wake up and quickly sat on the bedside, bending over and crying: "You finally came back, what can you do to make father angry?"
"Fortunately, you're awake. Do you know how long you were unconscious?"
Bai Yu'an exhaled and turned his head slightly. His mind went blank, and he was still a little unable to react when he spoke.
She was stunned for a long time before asking: "How long?"
The third sister was choked with tears: "It's been two days."
"Your eldest and second sister and I take turns guarding you. My father also fainted and only woke up last night. My mother is waiting on you in front of the bed. She will probably come over soon."
Bai Yu'an heard that her father fainted, her eyes drooped, her lips were dry, and she was speechless.
How could Bai Luozhu see Bai Yu'an like this? The new injuries in the past two days were not healed, and now he is like this again.
She wiped away her tears and said, "Father is really capable of this. When will this back heal?"
Bai Yu'an listened to the third sister's words, was silent for a while and comforted softly: "Third sister, don't cry, it's just some trauma, it will be fine soon."
Bai Luozhu cried even louder: "What kind of trauma is that? I came over at noon that day and you were so dizzy that you coughed up blood. Is that still a trauma?"
"Even if you made a huge mistake, your father shouldn't have dealt with you so harshly."
Bai Yu'an said silently: "Father has always been like this."
She looked at Bai Luozhu again and smiled: "Third sister, please stop crying. I'm already awake. If you keep crying, I can't even talk to you."
Bai Luozhu looked at the smile on Bai Yuan's face, which was uglier than crying. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief: "What else are you talking about?"
"You are taking a rest and talking and it hurts the wound. Doesn't it hurt?"
As she spoke, Bai Luozhu asked the girl next to her to bring hot tea. She knelt on the footrest and fed Bai Yu'an some tea. She then shed tears and said, "Don't blame my father for being cruel. He always has that kind of temper."
"My father is not in good health right now. He is probably very angry this time."
"I heard mother say that you fainted after father beat you, and I felt very uncomfortable."
Bai Yu'an tilted his head and took a sip. The warm tea was poured into his throat. The dryness in his mouth was reduced a lot, and even his body felt comfortable.
Bai Yuan took two more sips and closed his eyes with satisfaction.
Bai Luozhu wiped the tea that flowed from the corner of Bai Yu'an's mouth, and said hoarsely: "This is your favorite orange blossom tea before. I make it for you every year. You can't drink this taste in the capital."
Bai Yu'an nodded: "When the injury is healed, Third Sister, please bring some to me. I will take some back to Beijing."
Bai Luozhu put the tea cup aside: "It has been prepared for you."
Bai Yu'an remembered something again and asked, "Brother-in-law, is he still gambling?"
Bai Luozhu whispered: "It's been strange these days. I went to Yangjiang first and didn't come back for two or three days. I went there again two days ago and came back the same day. I haven't gone crazy these days. Just go back to the shop and stay at home."
Bai Yu'an felt relieved slightly, and said to the third sister: "If my brother-in-law strikes again in the future, the third sister will not go back to her parents' home. If this matter becomes too big, let everyone comment on it."
Bai Luozhu chuckled: "You are still worried about me, because you are like this."
"Don't think about anything else. You are a high-ranking official, so you don't need to worry about these matters in the house. Just rest in peace and recover from your injuries and return to the capital."
"Look, how many days have you been back? You've been beaten twice. If you stay here any longer, I'm afraid something will happen to you."
Bai Yu'an was also helpless. She had planned to leave, but she miscalculated. She didn't expect that her cousin hated her so much.
Bai Yu'an, who had been lying on his back, felt that his body was going stiff, but when his legs kicked off, his back hurt so much that Bai Yu'an broke out in cold sweat and let out a low cry.
Bai Luozhu quickly stood up and held Bai Yuan's hand and said, "Don't move now. The thin blanket covering your back has stained several stripes in the past two days. If you don't cover it, I'm afraid you'll get cold. If you cover it, you'll get rubbed. Your wound hurts again.”
"If you want to feel better, just bear with it for two more days."
As she spoke, Bailuozhu's eyes filled with tears again: "It's a pity that my skin is so good. I don't know if there will be scars later."
Bai Yu'an comforted: "Just leave the scar as long as it can be cured."
Bai Luozhu felt uncomfortable.
That day she took a look at the injuries on Bai Yuan's back. They were bloody and frightening. She didn't know how Bai Yuan endured them.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard the voice of a girl outside. Then the door was pushed open from the outside, and his mother helped his father in.
When Bai Luozhu saw her father, she quickly stood up and stepped aside.
Bai Tongchun looked at Bai Yu'an who was half-dead on the bed, and was helped by Mrs. Li to sit in front of the bed.
Bai Yu'an glanced at his father. The rickety old man in front of him was older, with weak eyes and wrinkles.
She was so sad that it was difficult to describe, and she didn't say a word.
Mrs. Li watched as neither father nor son spoke first, and the silence in the room could be heard even if a needle dropped.
Li Shi pushed Bai Tongchun: "Didn't you say you came to see Si Lang?"
"Look at what you've beaten people into."
Bai Tongchun glanced at Bai Yu'an. He was buried in the pillow and covered tightly, and his head was exposed.
He frowned: "This bastard, he's already lucky if he's not beaten to death."
When Mrs. Li heard this, she immediately began to wipe her tears again: "Okay, okay, it'll be fine if she dies. Why don't you beat her to death now!"
Bai Tongchun glanced at Mr. Li coldly: "Ignorant woman, do you know what scandalous thing he has done?"
"I didn't tell him those scandalous things, just to save his face!"
Bai Yu'an felt uncomfortable and turned her head away from looking at her father.
scandal.
Her father had always only cared about losing his face and never asked her why such a thing happened.
Isn't she aggrieved?
Bai Tongchun saw that Bai Yu'an actually turned his head, and immediately snorted: "You think you are an official in the capital now, and I, as a father, can't do anything to you, don't you?"
Bai Yu'an choked in one breath and gritted his teeth without speaking.
Then I heard my father snort coldly: "I will cover up this scandal for you. After you recover from your injury, you must sleep with Hanjin!"
"This time when you go to Beijing, take Hanjin with you. I'll see if you still have the nerve to do those dirty things!"
