The Weibei Hou Mansion has been established for a hundred years with the Great Qi Dynasty, and the mansion has been renovated several times.

Even in the middle of winter, there are still green pines and red plums in full bloom in Fuchu, but this year's green pines and red plums are much less than in previous years.

Aunt Zhu dug up tree roots everywhere, and many dead trees died.

Bai Chenghuan walked along the road by the lake, and he could see the covered bridge in front of Huanyi Pavilion in the distance.

The flaming leaves of the tall phoenix tree fall one by one on the covered bridge and the lake, which is even the loneliest time of the year.

Aunt Zhu dug up all the trees, but she missed this lesson phoenix wood and some trees that were short in age.

Bai Chenghuan took a deep breath and felt that his heart and lungs were cold-

Did she really see something with her own eyes? So she only dug up the trees that were there seventeen years ago, and didn't care about the trees that came after.

On the other side of the lake, Xu Chenglin's figure came in a hurry.

Bai Chenghuan wanted to greet him happily as before, and happily called him "brother", but suddenly stopped and turned on the side of the path leading to Merlin.

Shao Hui was very puzzled when she saw it:

"Concubine Shizi, Xu Shizi came from over there......"

"I know, but I want to walk alone. ”

Bai Chenghuan walked alone on the path that was slightly bleak because of the few people walking, and his figure was gradually hidden among the green pine branches and leaves.

Shao Hui and Mama Zhong glanced at each other, and they could see that the princess was in a bad mood.

They didn't think much about it, they all thought that it was Fang Caizhang's words that made the princess feel uncomfortable.

Mama Zhong could only look at Qiu Yue, who had come to the Hou Mansion of Weibei, and silently gave Qiu Yue a look.

Although Mama Zhong is later, everyone is a person who follows the princess wholeheartedly, and Qiuyue has long had a tacit understanding with Mama Zhong.

She nodded to Mama Zhong, and quietly swept over and followed behind Bai Chenghuan.

Bai Chenghuan also heard the slight footsteps behind her, although Qiu Yue had tried her best to hide, she could still hear it.

If she was still Xu Chenghuan, she would definitely not be able to hear it.

But now that I think about it, Xu Chenghuan at that time was the happiest person, right?

I don't know any of the gloom and filth, I don't know what the pain and struggle are, if it weren't for death, it would be a perfect half life.

And looking from the direction where Bai Chenghuan was standing, he happened to be able to see the very tall old laurel trees in the southeast corner, and the Wenyue Tower next to the laurel tree stood quietly, and there were still remnants of the snow on the eaves after the heavy snowfall a few days ago.

Bai Chenghuan exhaled softly, but the dullness in his chest did not decrease at all.

When she was young, she and her brother, as well as the eldest sister and Xu Chengyi, Xu Chengle, five brothers and sisters, also used to enjoy the moon and play on the moon floor in the Mid-Autumn Festival every year.

Although it was not too clear in their hearts at that time, every time the eldest sister and Xu Chengle were in front of her, most of the time they were cautious, only Xu Chengyi provoked her from time to time, and was ruthlessly suppressed by the people around her.

In those years, even though she was a sensible and lovely little girl in the eyes of her father and brother, she was justified in her love and forbearance for everyone in this house.

These are her relatives, she is the daughter of the Weibei Hou Mansion born to her mother, and she is also the pearl they hold in the palm of their hands.

But when this false dream is shattered, what is left of her?

Involuntarily, Bai Chenghuan raised his feet and walked towards Wenyue Tower.

The most lively time in Wenyue Tower is in the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are few masters in the house, so they don't come here, only two rough mothers-in-law who sprinkle sweeping are guarding the moon building, and they are holding a tandoor to keep warm.

Unexpectedly, Bai Chenghuan suddenly came over alone at this time, and the two mothers-in-law were shocked and confused, and they were busy saluting and greeting, and wanted to invite Bai Chenghuan to sit down, but they were afraid that Bai Chenghuan would dislike the cold and dirty, and they didn't know what to do, so Bai Chenghuan said loudly:

"It's cold, go find a place to have a hot cup of tea, and leave me alone. ”

The two mothers-in-law didn't think about whether it was suitable for Bai Chenghuan to be here alone, so they hurried out as if they had been amnestied.

Bai Chenghuan went up the stairs to the second floor of Wenyue Tower alone and pushed the locked window open.

The osmanthus trees that flourished in autumn have long since fallen, and there are still traces of people digging up and re-burying the roots of the trees under the window.

Bai Chenghuan saw the new soil exposed outside, and his mind suddenly flashed to the situation on the upper floor of this moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival-

Aunt Zhu dug in this place last year, and Xu Chengle came to stop her at that time!

"You don't care about me, I must dig that thing out and kill the slut surnamed Lin!"

"I can't tell anyone, I can't rely on anyone, I must dig it out...... When I dig it out, I'll take revenge!"

"No one can avenge me, only Mrs. can avenge me for this, I must find that thing and bring it to Mrs."

……

At that time, I listened to the words that I didn't understand at all, but now I hear them, and they couldn't be clearer!

Aunt Zhu must have known what happened back then, even if she didn't know everything, she must have seen something, so there were all kinds of abnormalities later-

She didn't hesitate to disfigured her appearance and completely fall out of favor to dig out the truth of this matter, and at that time, what should she do?!

As if he could see the disgust of his father and brother for her, Bai Chenghuan closed his eyes and took a step back, not daring to look at the towering tree outside the window.

She quickly turned around and ran down the Moon Tower, although there was nothing behind her, she felt like an invisible beast was chasing her, threatening to devour her at any moment!

Bai Chenghuan hurriedly opened the door, but almost collided with the person standing outside the door.

"What's wrong with you, what are you doing so fast? If your mother saw it, she would have said that you ......"

Xu Chenglin's tone was gentle, and he helped Bai Chenghuan, who almost fell, to stand firmly, as always, like a good brother.

Bai Chenghuan quietly took a step back, dodged Xu Chenglin's hand, and hung his head in a hurry and didn't dare to look at him.

"What's wrong with you?"

Xu Chenglin originally heard that Bai Chenghuan came here alone, and he didn't feel at ease before he came to take a look, but when he saw her pale face at this time, he saw her panic at a glance, thinking that she was frightened by herself, and smiled more and more gently:

"Why is it that when you grow up, but you become less courageous, your brother can scare you like this? But this place is empty, you don't come to this place alone, come with me, my father wants to see you." ”

"Brother. ”

Bai Chenghuan raised his hand and pressed his heart, forcibly suppressed the uneasiness and weakness in his heart, and then raised his head and called Xu Chenglin.

"Hmm. ”

Xu Chenglin answered, but did not stand still to listen to her, turned around and made way for Bai Chenghuan to let the road in front of him:

"I have something to say, this place is remote and deserted, you are also a mother, you should also be a mother, you should also avoid it, don't run around...... A few days ago, my mother and my father had another quarrel, so you should go and see your father, and by the way, persuade your mother, lest everyone in the family be too frightened by them to speak loudly......"

Bai Chenghuan looked at Xu Chenglin's tall back, and listened to him suddenly become chattering, and tears were almost shed.

Mother, father, brother, everything she originally had, she really can't afford to lose again.

She answered softly and walked out behind Xu Chenglin.

Xu Chenglin didn't ask anything else along the way, just asked about trivial things about how she ate and slept recently, and by the way, Liang Sixian wanted to visit her in the Qin Palace.

"She is worried about you in her heart, but recently the Duchess of Liang Guo has been detaining her from coming out, perhaps because we are about to get married......"

Speaking of this, Xu Chenglin's cheeks were slightly red, and he smiled shyly before continuing:

"But you also know her temperament, she can't be restrained, she should be able to visit you in King Qin's Mansion in a few days. ”

After walking for a while, Bai Chenghuan had regained his composure, and when he heard this, he nodded and said:

"I know that she has already asked people to send me letters, in fact, if it weren't for the Zen throne ceremony, I could go to the Liang Guogong Mansion to see her. ”

"It's still not necessary, now that every move of the Qin Wangfu is being watched, if you go to the Liangguo Mansion and are looked at, you may not cause any turmoil. ”

At this time, the prince of Qin had not yet officially ascended the throne, and before that, the situation was still stable.

Xu Chenglin was very thoughtful, and Bai Chenghuan also meant this in his heart, but he still quipped:

"Are you afraid of causing trouble for the Liang Guo Mansion? Look at it, my brother has become the son-in-law of the Liang Guo Mansion, and he is thoughtful about everything, and he is also dedicated to Sixian!"

In her impression, although Xu Chenglin had also been married to An Zhulin in the past, he never paid attention to anything in the Anguo Mansion.

Xu Chenglin was told the central matter, and he didn't deny it, and smiled happily:

"Shouldn't it?"

"Yes, of course it should!" Bai Cheng affirmed with a smile.

Brother and Sixian can be affectionate, and Bai Chenghuan is naturally happy to see it.

The two brothers and sisters laughed as before, and then Bai Chenghuan went to see Weibeihou, and Xu Chenglin did not follow again.

When he returned to his courtyard, Xu Chenglin's face became solemn.

He could tell that something was wrong with his sister today.

Although she spoke and smiled as always, her eyes were obviously inexplicably evasive.

It was something he could never remember.

Xu Chenglin called his own soldiers:

"Go, find out what happened to the princess of King Qin in the palace that day!"

In the evening, when the family sat down to eat together, Mrs. Weibeihou had been coaxed by Bai Chenghuan to be happy, and Weibeihou talked to her with a shy face, and she could barely respond a few times.

Wei Beihou was also smiling because of this, and the servants who were waiting on the side were quietly relieved, the atmosphere of the family was happy, even the Zhang family, who was left to eat together, did not have the angry appearance during the day, and his expression was peaceful.

Only Shi Wanrou sat opposite Bai Chenghuan, and she didn't speak to the people at the table, looking out of place.

However, this is the family banquet of the Hou Mansion, Shi Wanrou does not speak and no one pays attention, only Mrs. Weibei Hou feels sorry for her, and orders someone to stand beside her, and from time to time she specially gives her cloth vegetables and Bai Chenghuan a treatment.

After eating, there was a steward outside to report that the prince of Qin had come to pick up the princess.

Wei Beihou and Xu Chenglin greeted them out, but Mrs. Wei Beihou was not very happy, and took Bai Chenghuan's hand and complained.

"I originally planned to keep you overnight, but he was going to pick you up, can't our family live?"

Mama Gao persuaded with a smile on the side:

"His Royal Highness can think so much about the princess in his heart, Madame should be happy, why do you still say this?"

"I know, but I can't bear my joy!"

In fact, Mrs. Weibei Hou understands these truths.

But maybe it's because Aunt Zhu is noisy and looking for trouble these days, or maybe it's because her daughter was scared by James Shichun, and she was even more reluctant to let her daughter leave than before.

Zhang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he got up with a smile and said:

"His Royal Highness treats the princess so well, I just heard about it on weekdays, and I only see it today, it's really rare, why are you unhappy, Yuzhen?"

When Mrs. Weibei Hou heard this, she set her eyes on Zhang's body, but there was coldness in her eyes.

But she was obviously enduring something, her chest rose and fell, and then she got up and let go of Bai Chenghuan's hand:

"That's it, since he came to pick you up, then you go back, you are a married person after all, you are already a wife of the Xiao family, and your mother can't be your master. ”

The indescribable indifference and detachment in her expression made Bai Chenghuan, who was already full of worries, suddenly feel sad, and she almost couldn't help but reddened her eyes, but fortunately, she quickly held back.

She only had a brief calmness before figuring out the trick.

My mother didn't know anything, and she definitely wouldn't treat her like this, and there must be a reason for suddenly saying this at this time.

And for this reason, looking at the room full of people, it can only be out of the Zhang family.

Thinking of this, Bai Chenghuan was unwilling to waste Mrs. Weibeihou's painstaking efforts, so he said goodbye to Mrs. Weibeihou.

When Mrs. Weibei Hou saw that she knew what she meant, she endured the reluctance in her heart and urged her to go out, and never let the prince of Qin enter the Rongxi Courtyard.

Zhang's heart was anxious, but there was nothing he could do, Shi Wanrou looked at it coldly from the side, and her face became more and more gloomy.

Xiao Shaotang originally thought that it would be very rude to leave without seeing Mrs. Weibeihou, but Bai Chenghuan pulled him straight into the carriage, and he didn't mean to let him go to see Mrs. Weibeihou at all.

Xiao Shaotang had no choice but to press the doubts in his heart, politely bid farewell to the father and son of Weibei Hou, and only on the road did he have the opportunity to ask Bai Chenghuan:

"What's the matter today? But what grievances have you suffered?"

Bai Chenghuan stared at him for a while before he sighed faintly:

"You haven't been an emperor yet, one by one, perseverance, you will become an emperor in the future, but what should you do?"

Xiao Shaotang was confused by what she said, and when he asked again, Bai Chenghuan refused to say anything.

Because of the arrival of the prince of Qin, after the uproar, the inner courtyard of the Weibei Hou Mansion was quiet.

The smile on Zhang's face was gone, and he looked at Mrs. Wei Beihou's gaze with anger:

"Now I can see that in your eyes, your own brothers, sisters-in-law, and nieces are all added up, and they are not as good as a righteous daughter from the four outer roads!"
