"Daddy is gone?" Bai Ziyi frowned and looked at Bai He, who looked indifferent, he left before dawn, but when he arrived at the barracks, he received a call from the eldest lady for a few hours saying that there was an accident at home and hurried back, and he didn't see Bai Zhengting during the period, but he didn't have any suspicions, and now he actually said that people are not at home?

"Where did he sleep last night?" Bai He looked at the fourth aunt.

The fourth aunt hurriedly shook her head again, "He has been sleeping alone for the past few days." ”

Bai He endured the anger in his heart, and asked the servants at home to go out in three batches to find it, "Now you need a pass to go out of the city, and he doesn't have it, so he should still be hiding in the city." ”

"Okay Fourth Miss." The servant should leave immediately.

Bai He glanced at the third aunt who was lying silent on the ground again, and ordered someone to carry her to the bed first, and then everyone walked out of the room and went to the hall.

The eldest lady sighed: "Why did Ruiqin do something stupid? ”

Bai He didn't speak, but just showed the letter written to her by the third aunt to the eldest lady, as long as she read it, she would understand.

Seeing this, the fourth aunt also leaned over curiously, and when she saw her, she couldn't close her mouth in shock, "This, this...... She means that the fire was set by the master? And she knew from the beginning that she didn't say it? ”

"Oh my God!" Bai Yuewei covered her exclaimed mouth with both hands, and she looked at Bai He in disbelief.

Bai Ziyi stepped forward in three steps and two steps to snatch the letter from the eldest lady's hand, and read it at a glance, his face was extremely pale.

This is probably a result that no one here has ever imagined.

After all, no one would have thought that a person who was born cowardly and timid would have the courage to set fire to the house, and after an accident and death, he could calmly disguise himself, this disguise is nearly four years, and no one has noticed anything unusual in the past four years, and in the eyes of everyone, he is still a useless person who is idle and idle.

The eldest wife and the fourth aunt have thought about each other and others, but they have not thought about the person next to them.

The fourth aunt found that her hairs stood on end, and goosebumps rose, she hugged her arms and began to think back to the days of sharing a bed with Bai Zhengting in the past few years, it was simply terrible.

"The third aunt has been covering for Bai Zhengting and this family since she first knew about it, and she can't cover it anymore until now. Everything is revealed, just waiting to find the culprit. Bai He said slowly, at this time she had regained her composure, "I want to hold a funeral for the third aunt, just say that she died of illness, and I hope you can keep silent, if you let me know who is chewing the root of your tongue behind your back, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

"Don't you have to report it?" The fourth aunt asked.

The eldest lady frowned and said, "She committed suicide." ”

The fourth aunt said no, "I'm asking about the old man......"

The eldest lady raised her eyes to look at her, the fourth aunt lowered her head too much, and she didn't know what Bai Zhengting had done in her previous life, and she had married four women in this life, but none of them were willing to give her sincerity.

"There is no point in reporting the crime. Almost four years have passed since the case, and if the case is reported, the patrol room will have to start from scratch, the only witness has committed suicide, and there is no physical evidence, which will only be a waste of time in the end. Bai He didn't think about letting the patrol room interfere again in the first place, she didn't care about the punishment that the murderer could suffer now, all she wanted was the result.

But the eldest lady didn't understand when they heard it, how could the third aunt be the only witness, she had obviously heard Bai He say that she had important evidence in her hands. Is that a lie?

Strange as strange, no one cares about that at this time.

The sudden departure of the third aunt made everyone in the Bai family fall into a state of confusion, but fortunately, Bai He was relatively calm, and the eldest lady also went through the wind and rain and accepted the reality after the shock, and the two began to be busy with the funeral for the third aunt at home. When such a big event happened at home, Bai Ziyi naturally had to contribute at home, he asked Fu Jinghuai to explain the situation and ask for leave, Bai Yuewei didn't go to learn to paint, everyone was busy.

When the red lantern hanging in front of the Bai family turned into a white lantern, when the suona sounded, the sad atmosphere began to spread.

Zhu Dongfeng only found out about this on the third day of the Bai family's funeral, and it was Liao Shaochuan who went to the hospital to tell him.

At that time, he was already able to get out of bed and move, and was walking in the garden of the hospital with Anan accompanied by Zhu Xing, Liao Shaochuan found him under the guidance of someone, and the first thing he said was: "You are quite leisurely." ”

Zhu Dongfeng didn't think too much about his words at that time, but when he was ridiculing himself, after chatting with him for a few words, Liao Shaochuan said, "Do you know that something happened to the Bai family?" ”

Zhu Dongfeng lies on the hospital bed every day, and no one comes to report to him what happened outside, how will he know?

"What's wrong?"

"Someone died." Liao Shaochuan said.

Zhu Dongfeng stopped in an instant, looking straight at him with his eyes, his eyes were terrifying.

"No, don't think wrong, it's not Bai He, it's an aunt's wife." Liao Shaochuan explained, I thought that if something happened to Baihe, could I come and talk to you? By that time I must have gone as far as I could hide.

Hearing that it was not Bai He, Zhu Dongfeng's brows relaxed slightly, and his eyes softened a little, "What's the matter?" Accidentally? ”

Liao Shaochuan shook his head and said, "He said he was sick and died." Today is the third day, and it's time to be buried. When I passed by there yesterday, Bai He was busy, she was quite powerful, and she also knew a lot about this kind of thing, I watched. ”

The reason why Bai He understands this kind of thing is because her mother's funeral has given her experience.

Zhu Dongfeng lowered his eyes, and Liao Shaochuan said again: "Oh yes, I also heard that her father ran away." ”

Bai Zhengting ran away?

"What do you mean by running away?"

"It's just gone, the whole family is looking for him, and he can't be found." Liao Shaochuan said with a smile, "I don't know why, I'm quite curious." ”

Zhu Dongfeng glanced at him and didn't speak.

Bai Zhengting is gone, an aunt and wife died, what happened to the Bai family?

Zhu Dongfeng didn't think that these two things that came together were unrelated, and he thought more about whether it would be related to the fire in the Bai family more than three years ago? He asked Bai He to check by himself that day, and Bai He went?

didn't arrive at the scene, everything can only be guessed and imagined, the most important thing is that Zhu Dongfeng is a little relieved that he can't get rid of the white lotus, he thinks he has to go over.

Knowing that Zhu Dongfeng was going to be discharged from the hospital and go to the Bai family, Zhu Xing tried to stop him, but it was obviously useless, and in desperation, Zhu Xing had to follow him, and Na Cheng thought that Anan would also follow.

Zhu Xing said what are you going to do with it, you can't carry it on your shoulders now.

"I'm just dehydrated." Anan defended himself.

As a result, Anan and Zhu Xing accompanied Zhu Dongfeng out of the hospital, and when he was about to arrive at Bai's house, Zhu Dongfeng got out of the car, he stood on the side of the road and looked at the funeral procession coming in front of him, and the white color in his eyes made his vision blurry for a while.

The funeral procession got closer and closer, Zhu Dongfeng glanced at the photo that Bai Ziyi was holding in both hands, and then saw Bai Lotus wearing linen and filial piety in the crowd, she lowered her head, half of her face was hidden under the filial piety hat, and her maid knew that she was following step by step.

In addition to the mourning joy in the team, there was no crying at all, which is very rare for Jinzhou City, which has a tradition of 'crying and mourning', and generally speaking, even if you can't cry, you have to howl twice.

But the Bai family didn't, and everyone walked forward slowly with their eyebrows lowered.

The people watching the bustle on both sides of the road were whispering, nothing more than saying that there was no one to cry when this man died, which was really pitiful; Some people also say that this coffin looks so good that it must be very expensive, and they are willing to spend money on the dead.

The funeral procession slowly walked through the downtown to the inaccessible western suburbs and arrived at the Linnan Cemetery.

This was proposed by Bai He, and she hoped to set up the tomb of the third aunt next to her mother's tomb, so that they could be companions, and it would be easy to worship in the future.

The eldest lady originally wanted to bury the third aunt in the Bai family forest farm, after all, she was the one who married into the Bai family, but Bai He disagreed, just as she did not agree to bury her mother in the Bai family forest farm. Seeing this, the eldest lady didn't say anything, the fact is that she was thinking that if she died in the future, she didn't want to be buried in the Bai family forest farm, she was born a member of the Bai family, and when she died, she wanted to be herself.

The burial ceremony lasted more than two hours, and Bai He smiled as she looked at the newly raised tombstone. The inscription on the tombstone is also her strong request, since she does not enter the Bai family forest farm, there is naturally no need to write on the tombstone related to the Bai family, so Bai He asked people to engrave the third aunt's real name - Kong Guiqin. every day

Bai He said: "Third aunt, this is the last thing I can do for you." ”

If the funeral ceremony is over, the funeral is completed.

The invited funeral team left first, followed by the eldest lady, Bai Ziyi and Bai Yuewei looked at Bai He and called her, "Let's go, come back on the first seven days." ”

Zhizhi helped Bai He take off the filial piety hat, and then tore it along the stitched gap into a long cloth and folded it to hold. This is also the custom of funerals in Jinzhou City, filial piety hats can not be brought back, that will bring bad things home.

Then he knew that he wanted to help Bai He, Bai He shook his head and said no, and went down the steps step by step.

Bai Ziyi said: "There is no whereabouts of my father yet." ”

"Will you be out of town?" Bai Yuewei asked suspiciously.

"No, it won't." Bai Ziyi replied affirmatively, he went to check, Bai Zhengting did not apply for a pass, and he would never be able to get out of the city without a pass, "It must still be in the city, but I just don't know where it is." ”

Bai He said coldly: "Tomorrow I will go to patrol the house to report his disappearance, and I don't believe that I can't find him." ”

Walking out of Linnan Cemetery, Bai He was about to get into the car when Bai Yuewei pulled her, "Sister." She asked Bai He to look to the left, and Zhu Dongfeng was standing there quietly.

Bai He silently confronted him from a distance.

Bai Ziyi whispered, "Bai He, let's go first." He asked Yuewei and Zhili to get into the car, and then glanced at Zhu Dongfeng.

"Why are you here?" Looking at Zhu Dongfeng, who came to him, Bai He asked softly.

Zhu Dongfeng smiled slightly and said, "I followed the team all the way." ”

"I didn't see it." Bai He stroked his scattered hair, "Are you okay when you come out like this?" ”

"I'm fine, what about you?"

Bai He lowered his eyes, thought about it and said with a smile: "I seem to have something." ”

Zhu Dongfeng didn't speak, he looked at Bai He and smiled bitterly, after a while, Bai He couldn't laugh anymore, she looked at him fixedly, and finally couldn't help hugging him tightly.

"He is the one who did the wrong thing, but why is it that the people who pay the price are all innocent people? He is not worthy to be a man, he is not worthy to be a husband, he is not worthy to be a father, he is not worthy to be a man at all. How could he do that? How could he do that? "Full of anger and complaints, when it comes to finding someone who can listen to him, he can only repeat helplessly and sadly, 'how can he do this', as if this is a question that Bai He has never figured out for the rest of his life.

Bai Zhengting hurt not one person, nor two people, but everyone who was implicated.

Bai He's crying voice was hoarse, she grabbed Zhu Dongfeng's shirt tightly with both hands, and her body trembled violently in his arms. Zhu Dongfeng listened to her heart-rending cry and closed his eyes.

In the end, Bai He couldn't cry anymore, she had already lost her strength, and she leaned on Zhu Dongfeng's arms and sobbed tiredly.

Zhu Dongfeng looked down at her, he could only see the tip of her nose that was red from crying, he sighed in his heart, and after Zhu Xing drove the car over, he took her into the car.

Sitting in the car, Bai He still couldn't stop sobbing, which was really embarrassing for her, because Anan and Zhu Xing were sitting in front.

But Zhu Dongfeng didn't think so, he asked Bai He whether to send her back to Bai's house or where to go, Bai He said that she wanted to go back to Bai's house, and the matter was not over yet.

Zhu Dongfeng wanted to ask Bai Zhengting about it, but after thinking about it, he still didn't ask directly, "Is there anything you need my help with?" He asked.

Bai He looked down at his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said: "I hope you can help me find Bai Zhengting, I can't find anyone else since three days ago, we think he is still in the city, but there are many places where he has not been found." I want to go to the patrol room tomorrow to find Li Yan's help, and it's okay to report the disappearance. "I just think that this kind of thing Zhu Dongfeng should be more experienced and manpower than Li Yan.

"Li Yan, you can wait for the time being, I will send someone to find it, and it will not be too late to say it when I can't find you."

"Okay." Bai He responded, pursed his lips and whispered, "Thank you." ”

Zhu Dongfeng tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Do you still need to say thank you to me?" ”

Why not?

Bai He glanced at him, but didn't ask.

When they returned to the Bai family's mansion, the servants were cleaning the courtyard, and the others were sitting in the hall, and everyone had a heavy expression on their faces.

Bai He hadn't gone in yet, and heard the fourth aunt say loudly there: "Eldest sister, you gave a quasi-letter, what should we do now?" ”

The eldest lady's voice was slightly tired: "What do you want to do?" ”

"It's not that I want to do it, it's that you look at this home and still look like a home?" The fourth aunt's eyes were red, obviously she had just cried not long ago, she rubbed her nose with the palm of her hand and said, "Originally, I thought that marrying Bai Zhengting would not say that she would enjoy Qingfu for a lifetime, at least she would not have to worry about food and clothing." As a result, he turned out to be such a person, who was good at gambling, lazy, and couldn't make money, and he could still ...... I can't go on with him anymore. ”

"You mean you're going to divorce him?"

The fourth aunt asked rhetorically: "Eldest sister, can you still live with him?" ”

The eldest lady did not speak for a while, and after a moment she said, "Isn't he out of this house now?" "So what's the difference between divorce and not divorce?

"He's gone now, so who can guarantee that he won't come back?" The fourth aunt said that you can't just look at the present, you have to take a long-term view.

"What do you think?"

This time it was the fourth aunt's turn to stop talking again.

The eldest lady frowned, and was about to ask again, when she saw Bai He walk in, and she shut up all of a sudden.

"If you have any ideas, just talk about them when there are many people, otherwise when you want to talk about it one day, you won't be able to get together again. Then no one will dare to dictate your ideas. Bai He said lightly, found a chair to sit down, and asked Bai Yuewei, who was nearby, to pour her a glass of water.

Bai Yuewei answered the call and went to pour water and glanced at the fourth aunt.

The fourth aunt grabbed her right hand with her left hand, and when she saw her, she thought that she had said it anyway, and she didn't do anything.

"My idea is simple, I want to move out of here with Yuewei."

Taking the water cup from Bai Yuewei's hand, Bai He smiled lightly, looked at her, and then looked at the fourth aunt, she first drank two sips of water to moisten her throat, and then nodded: "Yes." "As long as she says yes, no one dares to say no.

But the fourth aunt didn't seem very happy, she hesitated and asked: "Then the cost of our rent and monthly living expenses ......" This is a big problem for her, she has no source of income, Bai Yuewei is a student again, and she is still seeing a doctor regularly. Even if the fourth aunt has a little bit of private money, it will be a drop in the bucket for them.

The fourth aunt looked at Bai He, and Bai He looked at the eldest lady.

Seeing this, the eldest lady said regretfully: "Then I'm afraid you will have to figure it out yourself." ”

The fourth aunt opened her mouth to argue, and the eldest lady explained: "Now the burden of the entire Bai family falls on me alone, and I am under a lot of pressure, if you and Yuewei both move out to live, I really don't have any money left to pay for you rental and living expenses." After a pause, she said, "Since you have moved out, you can make some money by yourself." ”

"I ......" The fourth aunt is so aggrieved, she hasn't worked for many years, and now she is almost fifty, what else can she do?

Thinking about the fourth aunt's eyes turned red again, "I don't have to move out to live, but you said that if he comes back, how dare I sleep in the same bed with him, I'm afraid!" "As long as Bai Zhengting comes back, no matter what he has done, he is still the master of this family, and he has only slept in the fourth aunt's room all these years, and the fourth aunt is too hard and timid, of course she doesn't want to.

The eldest lady has also been thinking about this question for the past two days, if Bai Zhengting finds it, what should they do to him? But after thinking about it, she didn't come up with a good idea, she wasn't as scared as the fourth aunt, but it was a little difficult to think of Bai Zhengting as a transparent person like in the past.

Bai He was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "What if Bai Zhengting moves out of the house?" ”
