Bai Yu'an didn't want to say anything more to her father, but now when she heard that her father actually asked her to take Wei Hanjin with her, she immediately turned her head and said in a low voice: "Father, can you not believe what my cousin says?"
Bai Tongchun looked at Bai Yu'an coldly: "Then you are saying that your cousin deliberately framed you?"
Bai Yu'an was speechless, and then said: "That's not what I meant."
"It's just that my cousin also misunderstood. Among them..."
Before Bai Yu'an finished speaking, Bai Tongchun interrupted Bai Yu'an angrily: "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?"
“Everyone heard and saw it with their own ears!”
"There is so much land at the foot of the imperial city, and it's right next to Shen Shoufu's yard. How did you manage to live there?"
"You are a seventh-grade editor with no foundation and have only been in the officialdom for two years. How prestigious are you? Can you live next to Shen Chieffu?"
"You still don't repent, but you want me to call your cousin to confront you, and then everyone will know about the trouble, and then you will be satisfied, right?"
Li, who was next to him, didn't understand and asked: "What Shen Shouxu? What on earth did Shiro do?"
Bai Tongchun stood up, looked at Li and said, "Ask your good son and see if she has the nerve to say it."
Bai Tongchun then pointed at Bai Yu'an and said, "This time when you go to Beijing, move out of that courtyard immediately! If you don't have enough money, I will allocate some money to you. This time you must bring Hanjin with you."
"Wait until you recover from your injury and get married before going to Beijing!"
After Bai Tongchun finished speaking, he turned around and walked out with a flick of his sleeves.
Bai Yu'an stared at his father's back in a daze, tightened his fingers, and lowered his eyes to look at the ground in a daze.
Mrs. Li next to her looked at Bai Tongchun's back as he went out, and couldn't help but sit next to Bai Yu'an and asked softly: "Silang, tell your mother, what happened?"
Bai Yu'an just remained silent, his head buried in the pillow, and he just muttered: "It's okay."
Li asked for a long time and did not let Bai Yu'an speak. Bai Luozhu said from the side: "Fourth brother doesn't want to say, just forget it."
Mrs. Li looked worried and looked at Bai Yu'an: "Do you have any ideas for the marriage?"
Only then did Bai Yu'an reveal half of his face, looked at his mother, and said in a hoarse voice, "Is there any way, mother?"
Mrs. Li's face was full of worry: "I'm going to your second aunt's place today to see if I can persuade Hanjin not to marry."
Bai Yu'an hummed and said nothing again.
Bai Luozhu couldn't understand what she was listening to and asked Li, "Mother doesn't like Hanjin?"
Mrs. Li pulled Bai Luozhu to sit down: "Why are you asking so many questions? I'm taking good care of Shiro here. I'll go talk about Yu'an's marriage first."
Bai Luozhu watched her mother go out blankly, and couldn't help but look at Bai Yu'an: "Fourth brother, do you really dislike Wei Hanjin so much?"
Bai Yu'an had no choice but to exhale: "Third sister, I'm not even eighteen yet."
Bai Luozhu smiled: "Although it's a little early, there are quite a few people getting married at this age."
"You have always had people around you since you were a child. In the past, it was good to have considerate people in the capital to take care of your daily life."
Bai Yu'an sighed: "It's enough to have A Tao by my side."
Bai Luozhu glanced at Bai Yu'an: "Although Ah Tao is good, can he still warm your bed?"
Bai Yu'an was speechless and smiled bitterly: "Third sister, don't make fun of me. I'm used to it. Having multiple women around me is troublesome."
Bai Luozhu shook his head: "I really don't understand. I have nothing to say."
Bai Yu'an didn't want to talk anymore.
My back hurt so much, my mind was so groggy that I could fall asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.
It was already midnight when I woke up again.
A Tao was guarding the bedside, kneeling on the footrest and sleeping on the edge of the bed with a pillow.
Bai Yu'an was very thirsty. He glanced at the tea cup on the bedside and tried to move. Before he could stand up, his hands were shaking. His shoulder blades on his back hurt as if they were about to burst. He fell back on the bed with a plop.
A Tao woke up when he heard the noise, and saw Bai Yu'an lying on the pillow in a miserable state, with long hair covering her face, and her eyes were red, obviously feeling aggrieved and uncomfortable.
A Tao knew that Bai Yu'an was wronged. Who wouldn't be wronged after being whipped twice?
A Tao hurriedly moved Bai Yuan's hair away, looked at Bai Yuan with red eyes and said, "Young Master, just cry if you feel uncomfortable."
Bai Yu'an's eyes flashed with tears, but they did not fall. He just buried himself in the quilt and choked slightly: "I can't live anymore."
A Tao also felt uncomfortable and stretched out his hand to hold Bai Yu'an's finger: "If you can't survive, then you can't survive. I will go with you."
Bai Yu'an's eyes were bloodshot, and the ends of his eyes were completely red. He looked out from under the quilt and asked, "Where are you going?"
A Tao rarely saw Bai Yu'an look so fragile, so she endured the discomfort and said with a smile: "You can go anywhere, I can only follow the master."
Bai Yu'an pursed her lips and lowered her eyes. It was impossible for her to take A Tao away.
Blinking her eyes, she said: "I want to drink tea."
After hearing this, A Tao quickly went over and poured a new cup of tea for Bai Yu'an.
Bai Yu'an drank almost a whole cup of tea, and his head finally woke up slightly after sleeping for too long.
She looked at A Tao under the candlelight, her face covered in warm colors looked gentle and delicate, and then looked at A Tao's hand that had been holding hers.
She looked out the window, it was pitch black, with the occasional sound of insects.
After sleeping for too long and unable to fall back asleep, she asked: "The doctor said that the injury on my back will take long to heal."
A Tao said sadly: "The doctor said it might take a month to recover."
Bai Yuan paused: "So long?"
A Tao nodded: "One month is fine, one month is fine. I'm just worried about what will happen if the young master has scars on his body."
Bai Yu'an was not worried about this at all, he was just thinking about what would happen if Shen Jue came over in January.
How can I explain it clearly in front of my father at that time?
Bai Yu'an felt a headache, and suddenly thought of the medicine Li Yanyu gave her. She took it out from under the pillow and looked at it. It was almost a hundred taels of silver per bottle, which was enough to cover her salary for a year.
She handed the porcelain bottle to A Tao: "If you apply this medicine on me, I might get better faster."
A Tao was a little hesitant: "Young Master was unconscious before applying the medicine. Will it be too painful to apply the medicine now?"
Bai Yu'an bit a corner of the soft pillow: "It hurts, just go up faster."
A Tao looked at Bai Yu'an who seemed to be ready, and stood up to lift Bai Yu'an's inner garment and apply the medicine.
The skin wounds inside were crisscrossed, and even though some were scabbed, they were still bleeding. He had to change his clothes several times every day.
The clothes I changed into in the afternoon were stained red again.
A Tao held back tears and gently applied the medicine to Bai Yu.
When his cold fingers touched the wound, Bai Yu'an still felt so much pain that he bit the pillow and groaned.
A Tao comforted her with a smile: "Young Master, please bear with me, you will be fine soon."
It's just such a large piece of skin on the back that it can't be wiped off so quickly. By the time A Tao finally finished wiping it off, the hair on Bai Yuan's forehead was already wet with painful sweat.
A Tao pulled down her clothes again, looked at the sweat on Bai Yu'an's forehead, wiped the sweat for her and said: "There is only a little bit of the medicine left, I guess it can only be wiped off a few times before it is gone."
