The moonlight is cool like water.

The night in early autumn is already bleak.

Xiao Wang led them to the door and stopped when she heard the sound from inside the house.

"Third sister-in-law, this is your family affair, I won't interfere, you can just go in directly."

Xiao Wang slipped away with a touch of oil on her feet.

Bai Jingzhi wrapped her quilted jacket and skirt tightly around her body and leaned her head to look into the house.

A broad-shouldered man was kneeling in front of the hall. His clothes were stained with dust, but you could vaguely see that their original color was blue.

The man knelt with his back straight, not moving a word, and allowed Old Lady Bai to beat and scold him without saying a word.

"Hongmian, you're here!" The cane in Old Lady Bai's hand stopped in mid-air, and this time it didn't fall on the man, "You can take it out on yourself, this bastard is back!"

The man's ears twitched twice when he heard the name, but he didn't turn around and continued to kneel straight.

Just as Wei Dayong was about to step forward to deal with the man kneeling on the ground, Wei Hongmian grabbed his arm.

Wei Hongmian shook his head at Wei Dayong, motioning him to step back.

After Bai Jingzhi and the others came in, none of the three said anything. Old Lady Bai smiled awkwardly, "You guys sit down! Let me continue to vent your anger for you."

Old Mrs. Bai glanced at Old Man Bai from the corner of her eye, but unfortunately this eldest son was too honest and not smart enough, so he didn't pay attention to her intention.

Old Mrs. Bai was helpless, so she pounded her right shoulder with her left hand and started coughing violently.

"Mom, you take a rest first," Bai Laoer saw this and quickly stood up to take the cane. "It's so late, how about letting Lao San and his family go back to the backyard to rest first?"

Old Mrs. Bai didn't say anything.

Before Bai Jingzhi could come to his senses, Bai Laoer grabbed him and said, "Girl, why don't you help your father back to his room!"

After they were pushed out of the room by Bai Laoer, Bai Jingzhi realized that they were clearly here to see Old Lady Bai teach Bai Zhao a lesson, but it went so easily?

Bai Jingzhi watched all of Old Lady Bai's movements. Her grandmother in this body was also a wonderful person.

"Dayong, go back to sleep first. Don't worry. He won't dare to do anything."

Wei Dayong followed behind, and was suppressed by Wei Hongmian, so he did not attack Bai Zhao.

"Bai Zhao, you'd better be more respectful to our aunt!"

Before leaving, Wei Dayong shook his fist at Bai Zhao and threatened him.

Bai Zhao seemed not to hear it and did not even raise his eyelids.

When Wei Hongmian went to the front yard, he entrusted Wei Yao to Wei Liu. At this time, there were only the three of them in name only in the room.

Bai Zhao is about 1.8 meters tall, which was quite conspicuous in ancient times.

Among the men Bai Jingzhi met in the past two days, Wei Liu and his son were over 1.7 meters tall, while the Bai brothers were less than 1.7 meters tall.

Bai Zhao sat at the round table with drooping eyebrows, not even looking at the mother and daughter.

There were several lights on in the room, and Bai Jingzhi could see the expression on his face clearly.

She looks like she's been hit hard. Could it be that she was abandoned by her childhood sweetheart?

Wei Hongmian pushed Bai Jingzhi and sat on the bed, forcing his eyes to shift elsewhere and no longer focusing on Bai Zhao.

Unfortunately, her white knuckles betrayed her emotions.

Bai Jingzhi glanced at Wei Hongmian and already knew what was bothering her.

"father!"

Bai Jingzhi walked to the round table, picked up a stool and sat down.

The word "Dad" was clear and loud, but unfortunately Bai Zhao was immersed in his own world and seemed not to hear it.

"Dad, do you still remember Xia Yuhe by Daming Lake?"

Bai Jing's big, watery eyes are exactly the same as Bai Zhao's.

Bai Zhao raised his head and their eyes met. "Who is Xia Yuhe? I don't remember!"

Bai Jingzhi's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know what this meant?

This person is the real Bai Zhao, not her father.

Bai Zhao then lowered his head again and no longer looked at the mother and daughter.

Bai Jingzhi didn't believe it and continued to test him.

"The king of heaven overshadows the tigers of earth."

"Jingzhi is a big tiger!"

“Who is the most beautiful person in the world?”

"Jingzhi has a pair of long legs!"

"There is a ground jar in the village."

"Jingzhi is a fat white guy!"

......

These rhymes were all told to her by her grandfather to amuse her when she was young.

When her parents went back to see her, they learned about this from her grandfather and often used these questions and answers to amuse her. In recent years, these rhymes have appeared more frequently in their home.

But it was no longer to amuse her, but to make her mother happy.

Wei Hongmian became depressed and unhappy in his later years.

Every time Bai Jingzhi went home, she would tell Bai Zhao about the old rhymes to coax her mother.

Bai Jingzhi had not expected that a casual test would lead the two to say the answer in unison.

But the result was pretty good, their family was reunited in ancient times.

Wei Hongmian sat down next to Bai Zhao, and the two held hands tightly.

The two looked at each other in silence, their eyes red.

"Dad, when did you come here?"

When Bai Jingzhi asked about the main business, the two of them calmed down.

"Bai Zhao eloped with his childhood sweetheart, and was later murdered by his childhood sweetheart and his wife for money. Fortunately, a man in black wearing a silver mask saved me..."

Bai Zhao's childhood sweetheart is his teacher's daughter.

The two families had already had a verbal engagement, and would get married once Bai Zhao passed the imperial examination.

Teacher Bai Zhaohe’s son was also a classmate, and the three of them grew up together.

That time Bai Zhao was at the top of the list and his classmate was second.

That year they were invited to attend a poetry meeting, and Bai Zhao saw Wei Hongmian fall into the water and rescued him.

From then on, the gears of fate began to turn.

The daughter of the governor fell in love with the scholar from a farming family.

The private school teacher immediately cancelled the engagement and married his daughter to a wealthy family.

His classmates also turned against Bai Zhao and stopped associating with him.

However, the private school teacher's daughter often corresponded with Bai Zhao and complained to him.

Every time Bai Zhao received her letter, he would drink to drown his sorrows and ignore Wei Hongmian and her daughter.

The most outrageous thing is that for nearly ten years, Bai Zhao did not allow Wei Hongmian to get close to him, leaving her a widow.

"Dad, do you have any memories? Bai Zhao is such a scumbag?"

Bai Jingzhi knew about their past and felt sad too.

"In fact, Wei Hongmian knew some of these things. Her father was very capable and had already found out these things."

When Wei Hongmian spoke at this time, Bai Zhao was a little surprised.

"Wei Hongmian knows these things?"

"That notebook doesn't have these things! Mom, how did you know that?"

Wei Hongmian took out a quilted dress, revealing dozens of letters wrapped inside.

"These are the original letters between Wei Hongmian and her father Wei Shou. I found them in the evening when I was looking for thick clothes."

Bai Jingzhi remembered that after dinner her mother stayed alone for a while away from others.

These letters had been arranged in chronological order, and the father and daughter opened and read them together.

“Dad, I am concerned about Bai Zhao, and I am willing to wait for him to come back.

After this elopement, he must have known that the woman was not a good person.

When that day comes, the prodigal son will return, and that will be perfection.

Respectfully submitted by the unfilial daughter Hongmian. "

Bai Jingzhi looked conflicted after reading the last letter Wei Hongmian wrote to his family.

Bai Zhao burst into tears.
