Shi Yue was stumped by his daughter's questions.

No, she had never met him at such a time before.

Only occasionally, at the banquets held between the emperor and his ministers during the holidays, they would see each other from afar.

Wenrenyu is sentimental, but also stubborn.

He understood her choice but did not forgive her.

He is not afraid of giving up everything. At worst, he can go back to his hometown and become a teacher.

At worst, I would die, but I would never let go of my wife's hand.

But she was afraid.

So, maybe the person he hated the most was her.

He hated her for treating him badly, so he ran into the palace alone and entered into endless shackles.

Therefore, he never took the initiative to meet her for more than ten years.

He was afraid and couldn't control himself, so he took her away.

"No, your father doesn't want to see me either." Every year on her birthday, she would come quietly and leave quietly.

Never met him.

This is his residence, how could he not know about her arrival? He just didn't want to meet her.

Wen Lai's eyes widened instantly, "No, mother, why do you miss father so much? He is willing to do so. He is in the study across the street right now."

"I thought it was because you couldn't see him."

After all, the current emperor is the emperor, so it seems possible that he could suppress him by force.

Shi Yue laughed. He didn't expect Lai Lai to think this way.

"Come on," she sat up straight, straightened her expression, and explained to her seriously, "The uncle in the palace is not as bad as you think. On the contrary, he is very gentle."

"Many of the rare things you received in the past were specially left by him for you. Even Xian'er and Tang'er didn't get any."

When mentioning the two princes, he was afraid that she didn't know them. "Xian'er is the prince, the same age as you. Tang'er is your brother, a few years younger."

They heard that the prince was known to them, and they even knew him.

"Mom, you forgot. Dad is the Grand Tutor, the teacher of the two princes, how could I not know."

Shi Yue held his forehead with his hand, thinking how stupid he was, he had even forgotten about this.

"Hearing you say that, I feel relieved."

She always thought that her mother was having a hard time in the palace, so she wanted to become a female official and go in to protect her.

"He doesn't have to be nice to me, just nice to you. I have my dad."

Shi Yue was very pleased, what a caring little cotton-padded jacket.

The mother and daughter talked back and forth, and before they knew it, it was dark.

They knew it when the candles were lit in the room.

time to go.

Wen Lai reluctantly saw her off. As soon as he opened the door, he saw the lighted corner of the study.

The window was closed, and I could vaguely see a tall silhouette projected on the door.

Shi Yue also saw it. They were so close, only separated by a door, but they could not see each other.

Seeing that my mother Shi Yue was about to go out, I would miss such a good opportunity in vain and it would be too late now.

He encouraged himself, took her hand and walked towards the study.

"Come here, what are you doing?" She was caught off guard and was dragged forward.

I don't know where this girl inherited her strength from, but she was incredibly strong and she couldn't break free at all.

He was pulled to the door of the study in an instant.

In a flash, without giving her time to react, Shi Yue felt the door in front of her being pushed open. Then she was pushed in as well.

Then the door was closed behind him.

The door is closed!

She knocked on the door gently, not daring to speak loudly, "Come on, open the door, I'm a little scared."

Five parts timidity, three parts suspicion, and two parts panic.

She really didn't even have the courage to turn around, and was afraid of disturbing the man behind her if she made a loud noise.

"Mom, please be merciful and see Dad. He has been missing his wife for the past few years."

She really didn't mean anything else. As a daughter, she just hoped that the two of them could talk it out and each of them could have their own happiness in the future.

Wen Renyu had heard the noise at the door a long time ago and knew that it was time for her to leave.

He sat at the table and didn't turn a page for a long time.

I'm so confused, how can I continue watching?

Just as I was about to get up, I saw someone being pushed in from outside the door.

But she didn't say a word.

When I looked up, she was still asking for help from her daughter outside the door, begging her to go out.

Is he a jackal, a tiger or a leopard? Doesn’t he want to see me again even once?

Resisting the urge to go over and turn her around, the two of them faced each other in silence.

One standing, one sitting, one upright, one backward.

After a long time, Shi Yue finally prepared herself mentally. She slowly turned around and faced the man who was sitting at the table and staring at her.

"Long...long silence."

He had been waiting for seventeen years for that name that had haunted his dreams.

The hands placed on his legs were tightly clenched, blocking out all the turmoil in his heart.

It took a long time of effort to regain the ability to speak.

"Your Highness the Imperial Concubine can still remember my handwriting. I don't know whether to cry or laugh."

The sarcastic words made his voice choke and intermittent, and had no killing power at all, but instead made his eyes red.

Shi Yue felt upset when he called her "Empress Concubine". It turned out that he was still holding a grudge against her.

"I'm sorry." No words could express her inner feelings, and she could only say a very clichéd apology.

Wen Renyu was also amused by this apology, and laughed so hard that tears slid down his white jade face.

Stand up and try to walk over.

"I am not a delicate thing. I still need you to say sorry at a time like this." He felt a severe pain in his heart.

"When you married me that year, I promised you that I would protect you for the rest of my life and never regret it. I didn't expect that I would end up having you protect me for half my life."

"Now, I want you to say sorry to me."

His lips could not help but tremble, and finally, as if he could no longer bear the excruciating pain, he held onto the corner of the table with one hand and bent over.

"Why are you the one who is sorry for me? Why are you the one who is sorry for me..."

He kept repeating this sentence, and his back became more bent with each repetition.

Shi Yue had already burst into tears. No one knew better than her how high-spirited Erlang was.

The top scholar in a red robe and a tall horse parade through the streets.

The sky is full of prosperity and the scenery is endless.

She stood in front of the building they had agreed on, waiting for him to pass by.

Looking at each other, their affection is deep.

She could see clearly from her high place that such a person was destined to stand at the top of the world in this life.

But now, he was curled up in front of her in pain.

As if all her energy and spirit had been drained away, she stood there in a daze, not daring to get any closer, fearing that he would really break.

"Chang Mo, please don't be stuck in the past, okay?" she said, suppressing her twitching breath and trying her best to speak coherently.

"Come out, eh?"

"It's too bitter, it's too bitter..."

After she left, he treated himself harshly as if he were punishing himself and would not let anyone enter his heart again.

No matter how hard or tiring it is, they have to raise Wenlai, their only daughter.

Being her child's teacher, she was masochistically facing a face that looked 80% similar to hers.

He fell into the otherworldly world he had created, surrounded by the calls of "Taifu" and the occasional words of "my mother said".

If you are lucky, you can even see him picking up the two princes from school through the barriers.

Year after year, I can only peek at her appearance through the mirror image that is about to slip through my fingers inadvertently.

Are you living a good life? Are you unhappy? Are you fat or thin? Are you sick or not?
