Chapter 62: Father, My Daughter Is Wrong
"Lord White."
Shen Jiayi walked into the room and saluted Bai Wu: "Time is pressing, please tell the truth as soon as possible." ”
Bai Wuwen, who was still smiling, also frowned slightly when he heard this, and he looked at his daughter beside him, his face full of hesitation.
Bai Jiangyi didn't know why he had such a look, but he still patted the back of his hand a few times.
It was precisely because of this move that Bai Wu's frowning brows relaxed.
He closed his eyes and recalled a memory he had never dared to recall. When I opened my eyes again a moment later, my eyes were bloodshot.
"After giving birth to you, your mother's health became very bad." Bai Wu looked at his daughter, and he saw the appearance of his wife in her, "Tong'er, I killed Yun Bai." ”
Kiri'er. Yunbai, Meng Yunbai.
Bai Jiangyi trembled, and the face towel in his hand also fell to the ground. She hadn't heard the name for twelve years, and she even thought that Bai Wu had forgotten her own name, just like she wanted to forget her mother's name.
Meng Yunbai.
Such a name, which was already a little unfamiliar in Bai Jiangyi's mind, became clear again after Bai Wu said it. She never wanted to forget her mother, but she really didn't want to remember that time when she was adrift.
Bai Wu said this sentence as if he had exhausted all his strength, he took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly, he turned his eyes to Shen Jiayi: "That year, General Yu was ordered to guard Guanbei and resist the Northern Khan army, but when Qingyang was first built, he was defeated by the deep-rooted Northern Khan, and General Yu had to send a message for eight hundred miles to ask for support. At that time, I was only a general guarding the city gate, and I should have been on duty that day. But a letter suddenly came from home, saying that Yunbai's condition was aggravating, and the situation was turbulent at that time, and I was afraid of a sudden accident, so I had to order the soldiers not to be released without a spy. But who knows......"
Bai Wu choked up a little: "Who knows... General Yu's letter for help also arrived at this time, because it was still late because of my order. ”
Bai Wu looked at Bai Jiangyi again, and there was more regret in his eyes.
"I know that this is a capital crime, but I don't want you and Yunbai to die with me. So I can only write a letter of divorce and drive your mother and daughter out of the White Mansion. Even if it's harder, it's more tired. At least alive. ”
These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, Bai Jiangyi was a little breathless, she couldn't believe that the father in front of her, whom she had hated for twelve years, had kicked her and her mother out of the house in order to save their lives.
Bai Wu's tears were already rolling in his eyes, and he tried his best to control himself from letting the tears fall.
"After I drove you out, I didn't receive a summons from Your Majesty, and Liu Wenzhong came to Baifu three days later. He told me that he could keep the names of our whole family, maybe he was still too young, and I agreed without even thinking about it. When I said goodbye to Liu Wenzhong, I tried my best to find your whereabouts, but in the end, I only found you who were weak..."
Bai Wu closed his eyes and clenched his teeth tightly.
"And a cold corpse."
Bai Wu didn't speak again for a long time until he calmed down his heart. Bai Jiangyi also looked at her father, she had too many things to ask, but she didn't know where to start for a while.
"Xu Qi is Liu Wenzhong's person. She sent her into Baifu in order to spy on me, you don't know how much my heart hurts when Xu Qi bullies you, that's my precious daughter, but I can't stop it, because I know that if I treat you like before, you will also become a tool for him to threaten me in the future. I thought that when you grow up, when you get married, you can start your life. ”
Bai Wu had never felt that his decision was wrong. He naturally knew that what Liu Wenzhong had done would bring disaster to the country and the people. He also knew that he would one day die at the hands of Liu Wenzhong. It's just that Bai Wu doesn't have any big ambitions, and he doesn't have the consciousness of giving up his small family for everyone. He just wants his family to be safe.
Bai Jiangyi only found out at this time that her father had already turned gray temples, and she realized at this time that she seemed to have not seen him well for a long time. Bai Jiangyi missed her father for a full twelve years, and she said that he was the person she hated the most, but he spent every day with his hatred and the danger of dying at the hands of others at any time.
She thought back to what she had said to her father and what she had done in the past 12 years.
Bai Jiangyi's nose was sour, two lines of tears fell, she also knelt heavily on the ground, she opened her mouth for a long time and didn't speak, until Bai Wu lifted the quilt and dragged her weak body to herself to help herself up, then she choked and said:
"Dad, my daughter is wrong."
These words made Bai Wu's heart tighten, and he smiled, just like an ordinary father. He thought that his daughter would never call him father again in this life, and it was satisfying to hear it again today.
"Tong'er. Dad, I never blamed you. ”
Seeing this scene in front of him, Shen Jiayi also had a sour nose, and he saluted Bai Wu with a fist. Then they quietly retreated, leaving time and space for their father and daughter.
Shen Jiayi closed the door from the outside, walked quickly to the study, and wrote everything down to the letter. He didn't choose a carrier pigeon, there were too many carrier pigeons, and he wanted to ensure that this letter could reach Yu Yi safely as soon as possible.
He whistled like a birdsong, and out of nowhere, an agent ducked out and saluted him with a fist.
Shen Jiayi didn't speak, just handed the letter to him. After the spy received the letter, he climbed over the wall and disappeared into Shen Jiayi's sight.
He returned to the study and sat down on the bookcase, thinking back to what Bai Wu had just said.
He admitted that Bai Wu was not a good official, and as a soldier defending the city, he left his post without permission to help the enemy. But he also had to admit that Bai Wu was a good husband and father.
Shen Jiayi sighed lightly and lamented the chaos and injustice of the world.
At this time, the door was blown open by the wind because it was not closed properly, and the cold wind poured into the study. Just as the Shen family was about to get up and close the door, a picture scroll was blown by the cold wind and fell on his head.
He was stunned, he didn't remember that his general still had the habit of painting.
As soon as Shen Jiayi picked up the scroll on the ground and unfolded it, then he smiled, and there was a hint of mockery in his smile. Shen Jiayi carefully put away the painting and put it back on the bookshelf.
After breathing a long sigh of relief, Shen Jiayi walked out of the study and looked at the courtyard in front of him.
Now that Bai Wu's matter is clear, we can only wait for Yu Yi's next plan to be implemented. Shen Jiayi felt a lot more relaxed, he closed the door and left the study.
