Dongfang Mu was surprised, and couldn’t figure it out. What happened to her in Jiangbei, why did she end up in that country thousands of miles away?
“What’s going on here? Tell me about it!” Dongfang Mu asked urgently.
Bai Zhi recounted what happened in the past three years, and she didn’t feel anything when she was not mentioning it. But now she recounted it like this, even she felt that life was full of excitement.
Not only exciting but also bizarre!
Fortunately, she came back, returned to this land, and returned to the relatives she cared about.
Dongfang Mu listened to her story with concern. In the past three years, he and Dongfang Wan only cared about being sad. How could they know that she had experienced so many strange stories in a distant overseas country?
“It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back.” Dongfang Mu touched his eyes and brightly smiled. This was the first time he smiled so happily in three years.
Dongfang Mu’s eyes fell on Gu Boyang who was standing quietly at the side all the time.
“You are Gu Boyang?” Dongfang Mu looked Gu Boyang up and down, thinking that his name was really strange, but fortunately, he seemed quite normal.
Gu Boyang limped forward, bowed his hands to Dongfang Mu, and said: “Junior Gu Boyang has met Master Dongfang.”
Dongfang Mu nodded: “Since Zhi’er recognizes you as her eldest brother, we will be a family from now on, so you don’t have to be polite.”
Gu Boyang nodded, feeling quite touched in his heart. After coming to this world for more than ten years, he felt a sense of belonging for the first time, as if he had returned to the place he should return to.
After chatting for a while, Dongfang Mu asked suddenly: “Have you sent someone to take the letter to the capital? Zhao Lan and Hu Changlin are both in the capital.”
Bai Zhi shook her head, “Not yet, I’ll return here as soon as I get off the boat.”
Dongfang Mu sighed and said: “Back then, Yan’er almost died in Jiangbei looking for you, and when he was sent back to the capital, he has only one breath. It took Imperial Doctor Xu half a year to make him gradually improve. But he was getting depressed day by day. The Supreme Emperor was afraid that this son would become useless, so he handed over the throne to him in advance, hoping that he could cheer up with the burden on his shoulders.”
Bai Zhi listened silently, feeling a dull pain in her heart.
“Zhi’er, I know your temperament. You can’t accept your husband having other women. But Zhi’er, he is the emperor. Although he looks majestic on the surface, he is in charge of the life and death of a country. But do you know a person who has no freedom in the world? It’s the person called the emperor.”
“His helplessness, I can see it in my eyes, and it hurts in my heart, Zhi’er, don’t blame him.”
Bai Zhi shook her head, with a bitter smile on her slightly pale face: “I don’t blame him, I won’t blame him.” The only fault was that he was born into the imperial family by mistake.
And that, she was not from this world.
“Grandpa, don’t tell him.”
Dongfang Mu was taken aback: “What?”
“Don’t tell him I’m back, let him think I’m dead.” Bai Zhi lowered her head, hiding the tears in her eyes.
Since they were hurt once, then let time heal those wounds. Why reappear and let the healed wounds open and be in pain again?
What she can’t accept will never be acceptable, and she will never compromise because of what he has done to her.
This was not child’s play, let alone marriage a game.
This was a major event in her life. She can’t stand her man having children with other women, and she still needs to send her blessings with a forced smile.
Heh – she really can’t do it.
No matter how much she loves that man, she can’t do it.
Dongfang Mu was silent for a while and finally nodded: “If you think so, then do it. No matter what decision you make, grandpa will support you unconditionally and will always stand by your side.”
