Chapter 839 Father, why are you here
It was cold in winter, and there was still snow on the ground that was not melted. I was kneeling when I burned paper. When I came, the beginning of spring said that I would tie two cushions to Bai Yanyu's knees. Bai Yanyu didn't do it, saying that it seemed insincere. Even if I knew about it in the spring, I would not be able to accept her affection.
But now I was kneeling on the ground, and it was indeed cold. The frozen air from the snow hit her knees all over her body. After a while, the joints of her body became stiff. Even if there was a fire in front of her, she still shivered.
Bai Yanyu sniffed and comforted herself: It doesn’t matter, I’ll ask the second sister to ask for some medicine tomorrow. Concubine Xian, don’t worry about me. It’s the fifth prince, Empress, how should I tell him when he comes back?
She stopped talking at this point, and after a while she smiled mockly, she spoke again, and there was a deep bitterness in her words: I was thinking too much, and it was not my turn to tell him that when he returned to Beijing, it would be difficult for me to see him. I am a concubine daughter of Duke Wen's Mansion, with a humble status, and I am the kind of person who is not worthy of being among the noble families in the capital. Queen Xianfei, if you are still alive, you wouldn't like a concubine daughter like me? Yes, a concubine daughter should have the reputation of knowing herself and shouldn't be whimsical, but do you know? Once you give this heart, it will be difficult to take it back. My heart secretly promised that once you go out, there would be no way out.
She wiped her face, not knowing whether it was because of the tears that were uncomfortable in her heart or because of the smoke from burning paper. Bai Yanyu still couldn't figure out why her second sister would object so much to the point of her like the fifth prince. At first she thought it was because the fifth prince had harmed her second sister, but later she felt something was wrong.
Empress Xian, how can you help Yanyu analyze it? Why did my second sister firmly refuse to allow my heart to belong to the fifth prince? In fact, I know that this is quite hopeless, because not only my second sister opposes, but my father also reacts very strongly. Last time he rushed to Tianci Town to beat me. Empress, why do you think this is this? I just like a young man, why do everyone object? When she said this, she laughed again, haha, I am so stupid. If you are still alive, you will object. Why do I ask you? Forget it, just burn paper money for you, no matter whether you can accept it or not, this is my little intention. The fifth prince has not come back to the north yet, and he can't catch up with your 100-day sacrifice. My filial piety is for him, so you don't have to thank me.
Halfway through the paper, Lichun ran back from a distance. Seeing that her lady was slow in her movements, she threw the money into the fire one by one, and she was really anxious. Miss, don't come one by one, throw it one by one! What time is it? It's halfway through the ugly time, and if you don't hurry up, you'll be discovered. Lichun rushed up to help Bai Yanyu burn it together.
Bai Yanyu didn't stop him, but just told her: If you move lightly and disrespect the deceased, she will look for you at night.
The Lichun was scared and trembled. My lady, this is for your own good. Don’t scare me. Let’s burn it quickly. After the burning is finished, cover it with snow and go back quickly. It’s too cold, don’t mess it up.
Bai Yanyu nodded, as if she felt something was wrong, so she stopped worrying and told Lichun: Then let’s burn it quickly!
The two of them threw the paper money into the fire one by one. The Lichun burned it while looking at Yunmeng Lake. The middle of the lake was not completely frozen, and there was a hole. If not, I would throw all the ashes into the hole, so that I would avoid being seen and troubled in this place.
Bai Yanyu also looked at it, a little worried, so she would rather not go. If there is no real name for freezing, it will easily fall. Neither of us can be watery. In such a cold day, if it falls, it will definitely be lifeless. No, don't go.
The two were talking about this, and Lichun suddenly felt the darkness in front of her. She opened her eyes hard, but she couldn't even see the flames of burning paper. Someone grabbed her arm and dragged her in one direction. She screamed and struggled hard. Unfortunately, after only half a sound, she felt a huge pain in the back of her head. The next moment, she was already unconscious.
The incident happened in an instant. Bai Yanyu on the side didn't even react. She watched her maid being dragged into the direction of Yunmeng Lake by someone sacking her. When she came to her senses, she heard a plop, and the Lichun who had sacked her was thrown into the ice hole in the middle of Yunmeng Lake. The two servants were pushing people. When she walked back, she saw clearly that it was from Wutong Garden.
The Beginning of Spring! The Beginning of Spring! Bai Yanyu became anxious and got up and ran to Yunmeng Lake. But she knelt for a long time, and her knees were numb by the snow. She didn't run well and fell directly into the snow.
Bai Yanyu was really scared. She suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter. It was impossible for the people in Wutong Garden to come here for no reason. Unless her father Bai Xingyan came, there would be a servant who would follow her. Even if the servant saw her burning paper here, he would only sue her father or second wife at most, and he would never be able to just get trapped and throw it into the lake after the beginning of spring.
There is only one possibility that everything that happened is: her father came, and her father gave the order.
This is to kill Lichun, but she is the one who harms Lichun!
A living life was just in front of me and said it was gone. I still grew up with her since I was a child and served her with all my heart and strength. Bai Yanyu couldn't stand the stimulation and shouted heart-wrenchingly.
Someone bent an arm behind her and covered her mouth tightly. She was covered with her only two shouts and could not make any sound. But her body could still move. She tried hard to turn her head and suddenly realized that the person covering her mouth was Bai Xingyan.
Finally, Bai Xingyan put down his hand, but his face was even more terrifying than the gloomy night. He asked Bai Yanyu: What are you doing? Who are you burning this paper money for?
Bai Yanyu replied tremblingly: No, I didn’t give it to anyone, I burn incense and pray for blessings myself, give it to myself.
Bang! A big mouth was thrown on her face, praying for blessings was to burn incense, but I didn’t hear that burning the dark paper money. Bai Xingyan leaned forward and approached Bai Yanyu. I heard what you said, “You burned the dark money for Concubine Li Xian. You liked the fifth prince and wanted to be the daughter-in-law for Concubine Li Xian. Unfortunately, she died early. Before you could pass the door, you burned her for a hundred days in the mansion.
Bai Xingyan stretched out his hand, grabbed Bai Yanyu's collar, and wanted to carry the person to the edge of the fire. But he was also injured and limped when walking, so he could not help Bai Yanyu. As a result, he didn't do it well. Not only did he throw Bai Yanyu, he also lay on the ground. Fortunately, the two servants who threw the spring into Yunmeng Lake back, and saw this, he quickly ran two steps and helped Bai Xingyan up, but no one paid attention to Bai Yanyu.
