He stared at the daughter, his lips pursed into a straight line, his scrutinizing gaze wandering over Yun Hao's face.

In fact, he doesn't quite remember what that singer looked like at the beginning, in his life, when he rarely made mistakes, when he was old, he didn't expect such a daughter to come out and tarnish his reputation for half a lifetime.

After a while, he finally spoke: "Do you know why I want you to kneel?"

Yun Hao lowered his eyebrows, honestly like a quail: "I don't know." But since you let me kneel, you have your own reason. ”

Actually, it's not that I haven't struggled.

In her previous life, Yun Huan also called her to the study like this, and asked her to kneel down without saying anything, she had been pampered for a long time at that time, and naturally she was no longer a submissive character. Therefore, Yun Huan asked her to kneel, so she fought with her neck on the ground.

What happened then?

Yun Hao's eyes were a little trance-like, and to this day, she still couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart when she remembered the scene that day.

Because she refused to obey, Yun Huan sentenced all the people who served her in the entire courtyard to be punished with canes in front of her, and some of them couldn't stand it, so they were killed on the spot.

Lianqing loves beauty, even when she dies, she is clean and has exquisite makeup. So she never knew that human life was such a cheap thing, like a piece of artemisia grass, it was folded when it was said, and there was no dignity at all.

Since then, she has been sick, and her illness has almost cost her half of her life. However, even in the darkness of the day, I don't know what day and night, those wails still ringed in her ears for a long time, and even as soon as she closed her eyes, the faces of the people below were terrified, unwilling or painful.

Yun Huan used this means to tell her that he could hold her to the clouds and push her into the quagmire. She couldn't fight.

So after she recovered from her illness, she took the initiative to find Yun Huan and admit her mistake.

Yun Huan listened to her words and snorted coldly: "Clever words. But after all, the look in his eyes softened a little, "You pushed Lu San into the water in the Gu Mansion today?"

If it were in his previous life, Yun Hao might have been surprised that he was well-informed, but now, she has long been accustomed to this matter. She nodded, "Yes." ”

She didn't know what kind of characters Yun Huan had, but she deeply understood that there must be someone around her who was monitoring her words and deeds. In the garden of the Gu Mansion today, even the red sleeves have not been by her side, so it is conceivable that that person should be very good at hiding his figure.

"Stupid!" Yun Huan shouted angrily, "When she pushed you into the water, it is understandable that you want to retaliate and come back! But you should never act like this, the battle of will will be lost in shallowness after all!"

Yun Hao raised her eyes to look at him, a candle was lit on the bookcase, and when the wind blew in from under the window, the dim light jumped slightly, illuminating Yun Huan's figure on the wall tall and distorted, she sighed, and asked calmly:

"According to your meaning, how can you not be shallow? Carefully planned, properly arranged, and done things without being aware of it, it will not be shallow? Of course, the political situation in the court should be like this, but between me and Lu Qingzhu, there is no need to go through such a big effort. ”

"In the face of giant beasts, you have to carefully arrange traps, but if you replace it with an ant, if you have to look forward and backward, this is too shallow. ”

In fact, Yun Hao didn't understand, in the face of Yun Huan, she could completely disobey the yang and yin, the left ear in and the right ear out, anyway, Yun Huan didn't want to let her kneel for a few more hours, and she wouldn't do anything to her.

But she thought that if she always thought about the past and was always afraid of Yun Huan, then she would always be the little girl she was at the beginning, and she wouldn't grow up.

If a person can't even cross the threshold in his heart, how can he face the turmoil in the future? Not to mention that from the beginning of her rebirth, it is destined that the road she will take will not be smooth and broad. But there was no way back.

Yun Huan turned his back again, looked at the window with a plum branch, softened his tone, and said, "I see that your husband, the side didn't teach you, this sophistry ability has made you grow a lot!"

In the misty blue night, the plum branches seemed to be dipped in ink, and under the glow of the cold moon and candle flames, they showed a deep dark blue, and the birds living in the treetops suddenly felt it, and flapped their wings from among the old thin and sparse flowers and leaves, and the snow on the plum branches in front of the window was also startled to the ground, making a rustling sound.

Yun Huan suddenly had a strange thought in his heart. He raised his eyebrows and never turned around, but his words were still to Yun Hao and asked, "You're not afraid of me?"

He finally found the source of the strangeness in his heart from the first time he saw this daughter: she looked calm from the moment she entered the door to meet him, and then calmly refuted his words about "being shallow". It is understandable that she does not respect him, but he has accumulated prestige in the house for a long time, and even his three sons are afraid of him when they see him.

Ke Yunmiao, how could he not be afraid of him.

Yun Hao lowered his eyes. But she still replied to him without thinking: "You asked Mr. Twilight to teach me poetry, books, etiquette, and music, but you didn't tell him to teach me to be afraid of you, so I am naturally not afraid." ”

Yun Huan stopped talking. He waved his hand and signaled that Yun Hao could go down.

Yun Hao got up and pushed the door out of the study.

After the red sleeves went back to the courtyard and put down the food box that Gu Qiru handed to her, she carried the lamp and waited outside the study. Seeing the two gray marks on the little girl's skirt through the lantern, she couldn't help but call out worriedly: "Girl?"

Yun Hao's face was a little pale, but she still smiled and put her index finger to her lips, shook her head, and after walking slowly for dozens of steps, she turned her head and saw that the study was hidden under a purple bamboo forest like ink shadows, and she bent down and rubbed her knees.

For many years, the fear of Yun Huan curled up in her heart like a giant beast bound by chains. But today she could feel that she was killing the giant beast with her own hands, step by step.

"Go back and press it for me again, I knelt for a long time, it hurts. She sniffed and said.

"Good. ”

The two walked, and after a while, Yun Hao remembered the food box that Gu Qiru gave to Red Sleeves, so he said again: "You can take the pastries that Aqi gave me and divide them." I won't eat it. ”

"But it's not to the girl's taste?" As Yun Hao's personal maid, Red Sleeves is committed to solving problems for her own girl, "That girl likes soft or hard snacks, and what about the skin? Hard or soft? The slave will buy it for you on the street." ”

Yun Hao glanced at her sadly, and finally knew why she was fat - with such a caring person by her side, who can lose weight?

She thought for a while: "I like to eat Li Ji's glutinous rice cakes, as well as donkey rolling, it's too late today, you can buy it tomorrow." ”
