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's okay, 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 after saying this, and after a while, she smiled mockly, and then spoke, with a deep bitterness in her words: "It's because I'm overthinking, and it's not my turn to tell him that when he returns to Beijing, it's hard for me to even see him. I'm the concubine's daughter of Duke Wen's Mansion, with a humble status, and I'm the kind of person who can't stand among the noble households in the capital. Concubine Xian, if you're still alive, you won't like a concubine like me, right? Yes, a concubine's daughter should have the reputation of knowing herself and shouldn't be whimsical, but do you know? Once you give this heart, it's hard to take it back. My heart secretly promises that once you go out, there will 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's reaction is also very strong. He rushed to Tianci Town to beat me last time. Empress, why do you think this is this? I just like a young man, why do everyone object?" She said this and smiled again, "Ha, 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. Your fifth prince has not come back to the north yet, and he can't catch up with your 100-day sacrifice. I am doing my filial piety 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! When is it time? It's halfway through the ugly time, if you don't hurry up, you will be discovered." Lichun rushed up to help Bai Yanyu burn 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."

Lichun shivered, "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 break it."

Bai Yanyu nodded, as if she felt something was wrong, so she stopped tangling and told Lichun: "Then let's burn it!"

The two of them threw the paper money into the fire one by one. Lichun looked at Yunmeng Lake while burning. "The middle of the lake was not frozen, there was a hole. If not, I would throw all the ashes into the hole, so that I would not have to be seen and troubled."

Bai Yanyu also looked at it, a little worried, "Don't go, if there is no real name for freezing, it will easily fall. Neither of us can't water. 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 dark 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 me."

Bang! A big mouth was thrown on her face, "Praying for blessings is to burn incense, I haven't heard of burning paper money in the dark." Bai Xingyan leaned forward and approached Bai Yanyu, "I heard what you said, your dark money was burned for Concubine Li Xian. You fell in love with the fifth prince and wanted to be your daughter-in-law for Concubine Li Xian. Unfortunately, she died early. If you can't wait for you to pass the door, you will burn for 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.

Bai Yanyu was not spoiled either. After falling, she looked up to see the two people who ran back. She looked closer and closer. She was very young, less than twenty years old. She was a good person from Wutong Garden, but she was also a newcomer more than two months ago and was not an old man from the Duke's Mansion.

"Little beast, why did I give birth to such a little beast like you? Last time my Duke went to Tianci Town, he was beaten out by those village girls. Bai Yanyu, you said you have nothing to do with the fifth prince, so now you can tell me what do you have to do with you?"

Bai Yanyu stood up on the rockery with a pleading look on his face: "Father, no matter what I have to do with Your Highness the fifth, this is a later story. The most urgent task is to save Lichun, which is a life! Father, Yanyu begs you to save her!"

"Save?" Bai Xingyan snorted coldly, "How to save the executed person? Since she is your maid, she doesn't care about her master. If she asks her master to do such shameless things, she deserves to die!"

"What shameless thing am I doing?" Bai Yanyu cried in a hurry, "Father, if you should punish me, please don't joke about human lives? It's winter and it's night. I can freeze people to death under the water. If I don't save it, it's too late!" She begged and said to the two servants: "You push people down, you have to be responsible for saving people again and killing people to pay for their lives. If this life cannot be saved, I will not let you go!"

However, the two servants seemed to have never heard of this, and ignored her at all and just supported Bai Xingyan.

Bai Yanyu was really anxious. She knew that the beginning of spring could not have water, and she could not have water either. If she could know water, she would have to climb into the water to save people. But for so long, there was no movement in the ice cave. Her heart became heavier and deeper, so she didn't expect Bai Xingyan to speak to save people in the end, so she simply shouted loudly - "Murderers! You murderers! What is human life in your eyes? A good person would kill him and kill him. That was my maid, a girl who grew up with me since childhood! Bai Xingyan, you are selfish and selfless as a father, you should die if you take care of your life! I have no choice but to deal with you, but the evil one will be rewarded! Sooner or later, you will be punished, and sooner or later, you will pay the price for your past efforts!"

She shouted frantically and limped towards Yunmeng Lake. She stepped onto the ice layer and fell on the ice in just two steps, but it didn't matter. If she couldn't stand, she would climb, and she would climb to the edge of the ice hole.

Bai Xingyan looked at the third daughter from behind, and the anger in his heart was even stronger than looking at Bai Heran.

Bai Heran was just against him, just avenged the revenge of abuse for the past ten years, just for her mother's blood and hated him, just for her unfairness.

But this third daughter was so scary that she actually fell in love with the fifth prince and his own son.

They are brothers and sisters! But he couldn't say that this was a big secret to kill the nine clans, and he had to let this secret be broken in his stomach. No one, except Bai Heran, could no longer know.
