Prince Consort

Chapter 24
At this moment, Mrs. Liu came in, seeing Zheng Zicheng, her first reaction was to cover her injured face.Bai Zhi smiled helplessly. It is an eternal thing that a woman is the one who pleases herself.Even Liu Shi, who seems to see through the world of mortals, is still rolling in the world of mortals of the person in her heart.

Zheng Zicheng obviously saw Liu Shi's face, and there was a distressed expression on his face.He pursed his lips, took a deep breath, walked to Liu's side, and greeted each other generously: "Madam, I am leaving."

Liu Shi just nodded.

Zheng Zicheng stepped over the threshold, walked a few steps, and fell down on the wet ground without paying attention.There was an exclamation from outside, and Liu Shi turned her head suddenly, losing her mind and going forward.Bai Zhi rushed to Zheng Zicheng's side one step ahead of Liu Shi, helped him up, and shouted, "Master Zheng! Master Zheng! Wake up."

Zheng Zicheng was still awake.

Bai Zhi greeted Hong Qiao beside her: "Look for a doctor."

Hongqiao covered her mouth, nodded stupidly, and ran out.Looking at Liu's tangled and sad appearance, Bai Zhi felt sour in her heart.How could she not understand the feeling of wanting to get close but not being able to get close?She has also experienced that kind of bone-eating pain, and is continuing to experience it.

The doctor took Zheng Zicheng's pulse carefully, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and when he put down Zheng Zicheng's hand, he sighed heavily.Bai Zhi understood this series of actions too well. Obviously, Zheng Zicheng had an incurable disease.

"Master Zheng has a heartache and an old disease. The plague a few days ago was infected with the wind of death. The old disease has recurred and the condition is not good. The days are numbered." The doctor shook his head while sighing.

Standing aside, Liu Shi was unstable and was about to faint, but Bai Zhi helped her up in time.It's just that Bai Zhi's complexion is not very good.Is he...will die soon?
Seeing off the doctor, Bai Zhi sent everyone away.Zheng Zicheng was alone in his family, and after his death, he probably would not even have a funeral.Liu's emotions were suppressed, but tears flowed down her face uncontrollably.

Bai Zhi looked at Liu Shi's anxious, forbearable and unbearable conflicted expressions, and her heart was also blocked.

Liu Shi said: "How could this be so! Be alone! I would rather not be together than be separated forever." Liu Shi's words were not excited, but she could see that she was extremely sad.It's really not easy for a taciturn woman like Liu Shi to say such words.

Bai Zhi put her arms around Liu Shi: "Mother, what can you do for him, didn't you say you want to repay him?"

Liu Shi was startled, as if she was even more sad.

Bai Zhi knew very well that what she said was too hurtful, and such aggressive methods were obviously adding salt to the wound.Liu chose grace between grace and love, but she couldn't let go of love. She was so entangled in not letting go, and the only one who suffered was herself.

That night, Zheng Zicheng remained unconscious in the White Mansion.After Liu Shi left, Bai Zhi stayed by Zheng Zicheng's bed alone in a daze.She and this father haven't known each other for long, so there is no relationship.But when she knew that his time was short, her heart still twitched fiercely.In the dream, Bai Yuan was beheaded, she stood in the crowd and looked up, her heart was calm, her heart didn't hurt, and she didn't feel sad.Bai Yuan has been kind to her in nurturing her, so she is neither sad nor happy, but how did the nameless and cheap father who met once touched the soft string of love in her heart?

She tucked the quilt up for him, and found black charcoal powder in his fingernails, presumably he picked out the black charcoal he sent one by one.He still has burn marks on the back of his hand, in spots, lots of them.

Bai Zhi recalled that day when he rushed into the flames to save Liu's family regardless of his own safety...

Perhaps what touched her was that he loved her mother simply and clearly, and that he had poored him all his life and only wanted Liu's well.

Bai Zhi retreated silently.

Bai Zhi came to the door of Liu's room, the oil lamp was still on in the back room.Through the cracks in the window lattice, Bai Zhi saw Mrs. Liu kneeling on the futon, holding Buddhist beads in her hand, chanting scriptures and praying.Her expression was not as calm as before, with worry and vulnerability.

Liu Shi only wanted to stay in Zheng Zicheng's world of mortals and wept with emotion.

Bai Zhi returned to her boudoir, picked up a pen, and wrote something on the rice paper with a solemn expression.After a long discussion, she finally stuffed the letter into an envelope, signed it "Bai Yuan", put it on the desk, undressed and went to bed.

The letter was sent out in a hurry. This letter was not like the letters that never came back in the past, but there was a reply within a few days.The moment Bai Zhi got Bai Yuan's envelope, she sneered in her heart.Whenever something hurts him, he can't wait to get rid of it.

Bai Zhizhan letter, this is a letter of divorce full of arrogance, with Bai Yuan's name impressively written on it. The word "unchaste" is extremely eye-catching, but Bai Zhi put it away calmly, and walked towards Liu's room.

She wrote a letter to Bai Yuan, a tearful denunciation letter.She told Bai Yuan that she saw Liu's quarrel with others, and she apologized to Bai Yuan on behalf of her mother, begging his forgiveness.Bai Zhi knows Bai Yuan best, how could he tolerate it!As she wished, she received a letter of divorce from Liu Shi.

Liu Shi refused to face her, so Bai Zhi chose for her.Bai Yuan is not worth what she has to pay. A man like the one in front of me is hard to come by, even if he doesn't have much time.

When Bai Zhi presented this letter of divorce in front of Liu Shi, Liu Shi looked extremely calm.Bai Zhi knelt on the ground: "Mother, if you blame your daughter for being smart, if you want to beat her or scold her, please do as you please. Zhi'er just can't stand it anymore!"

Mrs. Liu stepped forward to support her: "I've been thinking about it for a long time these days, but I already want to reconcile with your father. It's just that I know your father too well, and he won't reconcile easily. With your uncle around, plus his last I'm afraid that others will question him. That's fine, I'm responsible, he can be confident and act like a victim."

Yes, Bai Zhi also thought of this level.She paused, and looked at Liu Shi: "Mother, let's live in the mountains like Qiu Chan, and live a life of indifference to the world, okay?"

Liu Shi smiled bitterly: "What about Zhi'er's sweetheart?"

"Wouldn't it be enough to rob the mountain?"

"That technique..." Liu Shi was still worried.

"Shu'er just wants to follow mother, this mother doesn't have to worry. You just say that you were divorced by father." Bai Shu has no feelings for Bai Yuan at all.He followed Liu's family since he was a child, and went out to seek medical treatment after leaving Liu's family.In ten years, he and Bai Yuan had not spoken more than one hundred sentences in total.

Liu Shi finally smiled, clutching the divorce paper tightly in his hand.Bai Zhi ransomd the remaining prostitutes at a low price, and Hong Qiao didn't have any savings, so she continued to stay.Bai Zhi used all her savings to build a new house.Baizhi chose to be neighbors with Ticicada.

Zheng Zicheng resigned resolutely and wanted to spend the rest of his life with the Liu family.He is indeed different from Bai Yuan.Bai Yuan wants power and achievements, Zheng Zicheng only wants a sweetheart.For the joy of housewarming, there are only a few people in the family, but it is rare to see Mrs. Liu smiling.Bai Zhi originally planned to go back to pack up her belongings and lock up the Bai Mansion, but unexpectedly when she returned home, she met the housekeeper who followed Bai Yuan to the capital.

Bai Zhi was stunned.

The butler said: "Miss, this old slave is here to pick you up and the young master to Beijing."

"..." Bai Zhi was speechless.

She can still understand Bai Shu to the capital, after all, he is an only child, but what she doesn't understand is why Bai Yuan wants to bring her to the capital too?Her mother did such an "unforgivable" thing, and he didn't hurt her, a pond fish?
Bai Zhi doesn't want to go to Beijing, and Shu'er doesn't want to go.The butler was very shrewd: "If Miss and the young master don't go to Beijing with the old slave, then the master will pick you up in person." The words were full of threats.

If Bai Yuan came in person, things would be much more complicated.At that time, it will not only implicate Liu Shi and Zheng Zicheng, but also make her suffer. She knows Bai Yuan's character too well, and if he plots him to be discovered by him, there is only one way to die.

Bai Yuan definitely had other plans for letting her go to Beijing.In contrast, Atractylodes is actually much safer.Bai Zhi said quickly: "Housekeeper, let me go to Beijing with you first. Shu'er is not feeling well these days and should not be tired. It would be bad if something happens on the way."

Sure enough, the housekeeper readily agreed: "Well, the young master will stay here first, and the lady will go back with me first."

Bai Zhi nodded, feeling a bad premonition welling up in her heart.When she got close to Bai Yuan, she just jumped into an unknown fire pit, whether she was dead or alive, seeking happiness for herself.

Bai Zhi and Liu's simple farewell, Bai Zhi saw that Liu's heart was heavy, she comforted Liu and said: "Mother, although Zhi'er is not smart, but she can still play tricks."

"Zhi'er, I have wronged you."

"Remember to leave a room for me, I want to rob my sweetheart back."

Liu nodded with tears in her eyes.

The moment the carriage left Sioux City, Bai Zhi cried uncontrollably.She was terrified of the capital, but she had to go.There is him in the capital, there is an imperial decree in the capital, and there are too many people and things in the capital that she doesn't want to face.

She is afraid, she just wants to hide.
