Bai Yucheng hurried back home, opened the door and entered the house to see Chan'er sitting blankly in the room, her eyes dull and unfocused.
Seeing Bai Yucheng coming back, Chan'er suddenly woke up, stood up quickly and said: "Husband, you are back..."
"Pah!" Bai Yucheng said nothing, walked up to Chan'er and slapped Chan'er in the face.
Chan'er, who had just stood up, was immediately knocked back and fell back onto the chair. At the same time, her fair cheeks turned red.
After her mind went blank, Chan'er covered her face and looked at Bai Yucheng in confusion: "Husband, you...why did you hit me?"
Bai Yucheng took advantage of the wine, pointed at Chan'er's nose, and glared angrily: "Why did I hit you? You know best in your heart!"
Chan'er looked innocent and kept shaking her head.
Bai Yucheng asked: "Let me ask you, what did you say to Mr. An Huai when we were at the Empress Temple?"
Chan'er denied: "No, I didn't say anything. It's Mr. An Huai..."
Before Chan'er could finish her words, Bai Yucheng interrupted: "...You didn't say anything? If you didn't say anything, why did Mr. An Huai suddenly drive me back?"
Chan'er was shocked when she heard this. She stood up nervously, widened her eyes and asked, "Husband, what did you just say? Mr. An Huai will kill you so quickly..."
At this point, Chan'er suddenly stopped talking.
Bai Yucheng immediately caught the flaw in his words and asked: "Wait, what did you just say...take me so soon? What do you mean?"
Chan'er knew that it was impossible to hide these things, so she said truthfully: "Husband, he sent someone to check on us. He already knows everything about us in Yaozhou..."
"ah!"
Bai Yucheng's face was filled with astonishment and he was dumbfounded. Now he finally understood why Mr. An Huai suddenly turned against him!
Next, the room fell into silence. Bai Yucheng stood in the room silently in a daze, shaking his head and smiling bitterly from time to time.
Chan'er didn't dare to say anything casually, so she could only look at Bai Yucheng anxiously, hoping that he could recover quickly.
After a long time, Bai Yucheng suddenly moved. He walked over and sat down at the table, turning over an empty bowl and preparing to pour water.
Chan'er hurried over to help and poured a bowl of water for Bai Yucheng.
Bai Yucheng picked it up, took a sip, and asked as calmly as possible: "Chan'er, what did Mr. An Huai say to you during the day? You have to tell me word for word, okay?"
Chan'er nodded in agreement, and then roughly said what An Huai had said. As for An Huai's confession to her and subsequent threats to her, Chan'er chose to conceal it because she was too shy to speak out.
Bai Yucheng had heard Qu Ran'er's version, so he noticed the loopholes by comparing the two, and immediately asked under the pressure: "That's it? Didn't you miss anything?"
Chan'er shook her head and said with a guilty conscience: "Probably not...no..."
"Bang!" Bai Yucheng was furious, slapped his hand on the table, and said angrily: "You lied to me!"
Chan'er was so frightened by this palm that her body trembled, and she shook her head harder.
Bai Yucheng stared at Chan'er angrily: "Ran'er told me that you suddenly ran away. Mr. An Huai shouted at you, 'Don't regret it.' Why didn't you say that? Why did you
What purpose are you hiding from me?"
"No, husband, it's not what you think..." Chan'er felt unspeakably aggrieved.
Bai Yucheng was so angry that he grabbed Chan'er's wrist, pulled her in front of him, and asked harshly: "Speak! Speak quickly!"
"Husband, my hand...you hurt me...let me go first, I said, I said..." Chan'er's tears were rolling,
At this moment, I feel helpless inside.
Bai Yucheng angrily let go of Chan'er, blushed angrily and shouted: "Say it!"
Chan'er lowered her head and hesitantly told the story of An Huai's confession to her and her angrily leaving.
After finishing speaking, Chan'er raised her eyes and saw Bai Yucheng's face turning blue, and hurriedly emphasized: "Husband, believe me, what I said is true. As soon as he said such words, I would leave without hesitation.
Got it!"
Unexpectedly, Bai Yucheng burst out asking three questions: "Who asked you to leave? Why did you leave? What will I do if you leave?"
"Husband, you..." Chan'er was stunned, her tears could no longer be controlled, and fell down her cheeks: "Husband, I am your wife... What are you doing?
Can...how can..."
Chan'er couldn't say anything else, only a slight cry was left.
Perhaps realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Bai Yucheng comforted him: "Chan'er, you...you misunderstood, I didn't mean that...I meant that you shouldn't dump me like this."
Go away with shame, Mr. An Huai is the next clan leader, if you don’t give him a chance to step down, he... he will naturally be very angry, can he not drive me away? "
Chan'er suddenly raised her head, looked at Bai Yucheng with tears on her face, and asked: "Then what should I do? Promise him, throw myself into his arms? Do you want to protect your job in this way?"
Bai Yucheng hurriedly denied: "No, Chan'er, listen to me. You should have dealt with Mr. An Huai more at that time. There were so many people in the Empress Temple, and he couldn't do anything to you in public. He would wait until he found a suitable excuse.
After you get away, why don't you just let me handle it?"
Hearing these words, Chan'er became angry and couldn't help but said: "So, it's all my fault?"
Although Bai Yucheng didn't speak, the expression on his face already gave the answer. He was blaming Chan'er for not handling the matter this way!
"Bai Yucheng, who am I in your heart? Wuwuwu..."
At this moment, Chan'er's chest seemed to explode, and she finally couldn't help but let out a hysterical roar, and then tears started to flow like a bursting dam.
"Cry, you know how to cry!" As soon as Chan'er cried, Bai Yucheng became a little restless, and his heart suddenly became irritable.
But Chan'er's mood was broken, and no matter how much Bai Yucheng tried to persuade her, he couldn't make her stop crying.
"Okay, okay, you cry! Just cry! I'll cry enough by myself!" After saying that, Bai Yucheng walked out of the room with a puff of sleeves.
As soon as he left the room, Bai Yucheng saw Qu Ran'er. From the unnatural expression on her face, Bai Yucheng understood that Qu Ran'er had been eavesdropping outside just now!
"Did you hear what I just said?" Bai Yucheng asked with a straight face.
Qu Raner hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded and admitted.
"Just listen if you hear it, you have to know sooner or later anyway!" After Bai Yucheng said that, he quickly walked into the inner courtyard.
When Qu Ran'er heard Chan'er crying sadly, she wanted to go in and comfort her, but she stopped as soon as she took a step...
After a brief hesitation, Qu Raner finally chose to follow in Bai Yucheng's footsteps!
