Chapter 3: The Past

The Lantern Festival is a family reunion, and on the day of happiness, Baifu has been busy for several days, waiting for this reunion dinner!

Xu hadn't seen Bai Yanqing's daughter for too long, or maybe he was guilty, during the banquet, Bai Jingxuan, Bai Yanqing's good father and head of the Bai family, even ordered someone to take care of Bai Yanqing many times, but whenever she ate the second bite of the dish, he ordered someone to take it and put it in front of Bai Yanqing. The love and care fell in the eyes of everyone.

How others speculate is not important to Bai Yanqing. She only raised her eyebrows slightly, and glanced at the "respectable" old lady of the Bai family, that is, Bai Yanqing's grandmother: Ren. I saw that there was no half of the joy of reunion after a long absence between her eyebrows, nor half of the love of the elders for the younger generations, on the contrary, her face was extremely gray, and there was a little anger and dissatisfaction in her eyes.

Bai Yanqing understood, lowered her head and gently tossed the dishes on the plate with chopsticks, as if she didn't notice Ren's sharp eyes, she picked up the dishes on the plate and tasted it in small bites.

Besides, the subordinates of Baifu are used to meeting the wind and the rudder. In the past, I saw that the Ren family didn't like Bai Yanqing, and these subordinates were a little slazy with her in private. Now, seeing the only male owner of the Bai family taking care of Bai Yanqing many times, everyone understands it in their hearts! Even if she Bai Yanqing is no longer liked by the old lady of the Bai family, in the final analysis, she is also the eldest daughter of the Bai Mansion, and her identity is there, and no one can shake her status! Those people who come outside, even if they will please Old Madam Bai again, they are not serious Miss Bai Fuchang!

The people of the Bai family were secretly thinking to themselves, so they gave Bai Yanqing cloth vegetables with some sharpness. And the three Bai Furong mother and daughter, who were obviously a little left out on the side, also had a little embarrassment on their faces. Originally, when Bai Yanqing did not return home, the two Lai Feiyan sisters were the most proud in front of people, but now that Bai Yanqing is back, their status is naturally not as good as before.

A room full of people had their own thoughts, and in the dull atmosphere, they could barely have a reunion dinner.

After the meal, after everyone drank tea and snacks, Ren was obviously a little unable to hold back. Just when she was eager to say something, she didn't expect someone to open her mouth before her.

"Yan Qing, you haven't been back to the house for a long time, if you have nothing to do now, just go to the study with your father!"

Bai Jingxuan opened his mouth suddenly, taking the lead in breaking the dull atmosphere, and no matter how the Ren clan squeezed his eyebrows at him, Bai Jingxuan got up and walked towards the door as if he had never seen it. Only Ren and Bai Furong's mother and daughter were left looking at each other.

What should come is still coming after all......

Bai Yanqing sighed secretly in her heart, and then got up and straightened her dress, wanting to go with Bai Jingxuan.

"Wait!"

Old Lady Bai Ren got up suddenly, and then glanced at Mama Shen behind her, the old woman saw this, so she quickly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to block Bai Yanqing's way.

"Mother, what do you mean by that?"

Before Bai Yanqing could speak, Bai Jingxuan, who was just about to step out of the threshold, frowned and looked back at Ren dissatisfied. Obviously, he was a little displeased with Ren's move.

"If you call Yan Qing alone without Feiyan, I am afraid that this matter will be unfair, but you promised to be your mother ...... at the beginning."

Ren's words were quite annoyed, and his eyebrows were full of dissatisfaction. As she spoke, she didn't forget to glare at Bai Yanqing a few times: This little hoof is really like her dead mother, unlikable, and now she wants to make herself unhappy when she goes home!

"The son called Yan Qing, but because he hadn't seen her for a long time, he thought selfishly, and talked about the father-daughter relationship with his own son and daughter, and the mother didn't have to worry too much! As for the thing you have in mind...... ...... in the heart of the child Own your own claim! ”

Bai Jingxuan said nothing, and glanced coldly at the old woman on the side, so frightened that Mama Shen quickly withdrew her arm, after all, this Bai family is still Bai Jingxuan's master, he is the Bai family's heaven!

Bai Jingxuan's words seemed to be saying to the Ren family, but in fact, they secretly warned everyone in the Bai family. First, it was implied that Bai Yanqing was his daughter of Bai Jingxuan and the daughter of the dignified Bai family. It also indirectly shows that he himself did not give up this daughter. Second, he expressed his attitude and position, no matter what they want to discuss, everything is decided by him Bai Jingxuan, and others can't be the master of his Bai family!

After that, the expressions of the people in the room quietly changed. There are those who are unwilling, those who are afraid, those who are dissatisfied, those who are angry, and those who are jealous......

Only the person who was in the center of the whirlpool had a state of staying out of the way.

That thing?!

Oh, interesting.

Bai Yanqing followed behind Bai Jingxuan unhurriedly, always keeping a few steps away from him, and the father and daughter walked all the way with their own hearts.

Inside the study.

The father and daughter were silent for a long time, but after all, it was Bai Jingxuan who opened his mouth first. Because of him, he really can't see through his daughter. In this confrontation, in the end, he couldn't hold his breath first.

"I think you should also know what happened to take you back to the house this time."

Bai Jingxuan thought about it for a while, but still pointed it out straightforwardly.

Bai Yanqing was still silent, only looking at the man in front of her in a daze. This person she has called her father for more than ten years, this person who has been absent from her life for many years, this person who has been bullying her by outsiders and has always ignored her, is actually her father! Say no resentment, that's fake! Did he think that if he gave her a few more chopsticks and dishes, she would be able to forgive him for his negligence to her over the years? Impossible!

"Even if you don't say it for your father, you must have your own way of knowing."

Seeing that Bai Yanqing hadn't spoken for a long time, obviously out of his mind, Bai Jingxuan reminded him at the right time.

Hearing this, a subtle sneer flashed at the corner of Bai Yanqing's mouth! Yes, others don't know what Bai Yanqing has been doing all these years, but Bai Jingxuan, who is her father, will still secretly send someone to spy on her even if he ignores her. Therefore, she didn't plan to hide everything she had experienced, after all, in the entire Bai family, only her good father, still regarded her as the daughter of the Bai family! It's just that Ren and Bai Furong's mother and daughter really think that she has been raised in Zhuangzi for all these years, and she is a fool who doesn't listen to things outside the window, which is sad, pathetic, and ridiculous!

"Father...... What does that mean? ”

Bai Yanqing raised her hand softly and covered the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and a little weaker sickness instantly appeared on her face. Then he raised his eyes, and his watery eyes were full of incomprehension.

"You don't have to be so cowardly with your father, and look at your father like that! Ji Jia...... It's not an ordinary family. ”

Bai Jingxuan meant something, and did not make a false deal with her, and said bluntly.

After hearing this, Bai Yanqing was slightly stunned, and then smiled. Obviously, she was not very surprised by Bai Jingxuan's words.

Heh, Ji family?

He still has the face to mention the Ji family! Thanks to her good father, she still remembers the Ji family!

Bai Yanqing always thought that since the death of her mother Ji Jinchu, her good father did not remember her mother and her mother's maternal family. After all, over the years, Bai Jingxuan has been ruthlessly banishing him and Ji Jinchu's only daughter to Zhuangzi, leaving Bai Yanqing to fend for herself, never caring a little more, and never fulfilling the responsibility of being a father. Not only that, since Ji Jinchu's death, the Bai family has cut off contact with the Ji family and drawn a clear line! Not to mention weekdays, even if it is a New Year's holiday, Bai Jingxuan has never visited his father-in-law's house in person, as if since Ji Jinchu's death, his Bai family has lost this in-law! Therefore, now that he suddenly mentioned the Ji family, it was inevitable that Bai Yanqing's expression would be a little more mocking and disdainful!

Bai Yanqing's mother, Ji Jinchu, is the daughter of Ji Zheng, the general of Zhenguo. The marriage between the Bai and Ji families at the beginning was given by the saint himself today! One is the dignified Prime Minister of Chenguo, and the other is the General Mansion of Zhenguo behind him, and the two can be described as a good match, a good couple! This caused a lot of shock in the capital back then! Everyone in the world says that Ji and Bai are perfectly combined, and they can top half of the country! It can be seen from this that this marriage caused a sensation in Chenguo!

One said, this Zhenguo general Ji Zheng, in addition to Ji Jinchu's daughter-in-law, also has an eldest son named Ji Jinxiu! Speaking of Ji Jinxiu, this is even more embarrassing! He did not choose to enter politics in this life, and in the eyes of outsiders, he is not good at literature and martial arts, it is half a good gene that has not been inherited from his mother and his son! On the contrary, in the business area, he has a bit of an extraordinary mind! Therefore, under many trade-offs, he became a businessman and dealt with the three religions and nine streams all day long.

Besides, after the death of Ji Jinchu, the Ji family only had one son left, Ji Jinxiu, who was favored by the saint, gave him the position of marquis, and allowed him to be a marquis in vain, which shows that the weight of the Ji family in the heart of the saint today, as well as the prestige of the Ji family in the Chen country, is really a position that no one can shake!

But such a powerful in-laws failed to enter the eyes of the old lady of the Bai family, Ren! In the final analysis, it was because Ji Jinchu only left Bai Yanqing as a daughter, and then passed away, and failed to give her a son-in-law to the Bai family as Ren wished. And because of the power of the Ji family and the face of the saint, Bai Jingxuan can no longer admit newcomers, in Ren's words, that is, because the Ji family cut off her Bai family's incense! Therefore, over the years, Ren has often secretly scolded Ji Jinchu for being a harmful spirit, so he is often angry with Bai Yanqing, and he has no good face for him. Therefore, a few years earlier, when Bai Yanqing was still young in the house, the Ren family allowed the Lai sisters to bully Bai Yanqing, and later made an advocacy and sent Bai Yanqing, who was weak after falling into the water, to be raised in Zhuangzi outside the city. It's just that who can't see it with a discerning eye? Ren deliberately slapped the Ji family in the face, and deliberately made it difficult for the daughter left by Ji Jinchu to vent his anger!

It's just that this is a well-known thing, how could Bai Jingxuan, who is the head of the Bai family, not know about it? It's just that he is hindered by filial piety and doesn't dare to contradict Ren! Therefore, he can only grieve his poor daughter who has lost her mother since she was a child!
