Bai Zhi fled all the way back to her courtyard. The place he kissed just now was like an unextinguished coal. The cold wind blew, making it even hotter and painful.

It was late at night, and there were only a few scattered servants in the courtyard. The children seemed to be asleep, and Bai Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

As if he had done something wrong, he was panicked and confused.

She walked straight to her room, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw a broad body with white stripes.

Zhuo Yao was holding Agu in his arms and coaxing him, rocking him gently. Agu was eating his hands and was about to fall asleep in a daze.

Bai Zhi felt that this scene was very heartwarming. She liked it so much that she wanted to rush over, fall into his arms, and hug them tightly.

Zhuo Yao originally had a bright smile, but after seeing Bai Zhi, his smile became stiff and cramped, turning into an unfamiliar face.

"You're back? It's too late, take a rest." He said.

The pleasantries were painless. He didn't ask where Bai Zhi had gone or what she had done. His voice was cautious and reserved, as polite as a stranger.

Bai Zhi's heart suddenly ached.

She tightened her collar and smiled strangely, "Yeah, okay."

After she simply cleaned up, she got into bed. Seeing Zhuo Yao naked, she wanted to remind him to sleep soon. When the words came to her lips, she tried to open her mouth countless times, but they were all swallowed.

Because Zhuo Yao always turned his back to him and refused to make any eye contact with her.

She once thought Zhuo Yao loved her, she thought they were a loving couple.

But I didn't expect that this relationship could not withstand the storm. In just two days, it could be quickly destroyed and fall apart.

Or maybe she was deceiving herself. From the moment he learned about Meng Ying, their relationship had begun to disintegrate, but she didn't want to give up yet.

Tears welled up as she thought about it, but she didn't want to cry a single sound. He was no longer the husband who would support her. She felt that she no longer had a hug that could let her cry.

But no matter how much she endures, she can't escape Zhuo Yao's ears.

He could hear her thick and heavy breathing, opening her mouth to gasp for air from time to time. Even with her back on her back, he could feel her shaking shoulders.

But he didn't have the courage to step forward and hug her. Even a little bit of proximity could affect all his decisions.

The two of them spent time like this. Bai Zhi didn't wait for him to hug her until she fell asleep after crying.

She fell asleep, and Zhuo Yao dared to take a look at her. There were still wet tears on her eyelashes. He gently wiped the tears on her cheeks, placed Agu beside her pillow, and leaned over their mother. The two women kissed lightly on their faces.

The tip of her nose gently rubbed against Bai Zhi's face, with a slight tremor and lingering feeling.

Her breath brushed against her ears and shoulders, and a bright red thorn on her neck woke Zhuo Yao up.

He knew that she went to Meng Ying's place and also knew why this trace existed, so he didn't dare to ask.

I didn't dare to ask her if she remembered something, if she ever hated her for hiding it.

He killed Meng Ying once, which was his biggest crime.

Cheating when she forgot was his second greatest sin.

Not being able to give her complete love is his third greatest sin.

There are countless other sins.

Zhuo Yao counted his sins in detail and wrote a letter to let his wife go, trying to get someone to forgive his sins.

He wrote a few hundred words in the letter to let his wife go, and then put it next to the dressing box. She would see it when she wakes up tomorrow to dress up.

After Zhuo Yao finished writing, he felt he had nowhere to go, so he had no choice but to look for Zhuo Ling.

Since Zhuo Ling became pregnant, she has become more and more sleepy. Zhuo Yao did not want to disturb her, so she could only squat at the door, sobbing faintly, and finally broke down in tears.

Zhuo Ling woke up in the middle of the night and vaguely heard movement at the door, so she put on a big cloak and went out to check.

As soon as she saw Zhuo Yao, she understood. She sighed uncomfortably, "Look at you crying like that."

"Sister, what should I do?" Zhuo Yao was as helpless as a child.

This look made Zhuo Ling's eyes sore. Her brother had never shown such an expression before. She whispered, "You ask me? My man has run away, and you still ask me..."

"If I knew what to do, how could I let you suffer this kind of injustice..." Zhuo Ling choked with sobs.

"I don't have the ability to be your sister. It's because I don't have the ability to make you and Ah Hong suffer like this..."

"It's not you! It's not you! It's not you!" Zhuo Yao clutched his hair tightly, blaming himself and wanting to go crazy, "It's because I don't have the ability! It's me!"

"I have betrayed the world, I have betrayed A Hong, I have betrayed my brother, I have betrayed my wife and daughter. I cannot even bear to see Feng Tianxiang. How can I have the dignity to be the heir apparent of Zhennan Palace?"

Self-pity was something that had never happened to Zhuo Yao. Zhuo Ling was a little intolerable. Her inexplicable anger made her grab Zhuo Yao's collar with a terrifying momentum.

"Shut up! Your status does not allow you to say these words. You are the backbone of Zhennan Palace, and neither Ahong nor I will allow you to bend down. Since you have chosen, think carefully about why you made this choice! "

"Why did you give up your wife and daughter? I don't believe you chose to give up just because of fear, just for peace of mind! You want to join forces, you want to quell the chaos, you want to save Ahong, you want dad to come home, You have to support Brother Sa Lan’s wish for a prosperous life, and you have to let Ah Zhi’s ideal come true! You have to let your children never suffer from the chaos!”

"There are so many things waiting for you to do, you can't be weak! You can't back down! What does it look like for a man to cry!"

"Wipe away your tears. The world is in chaos and divided by warlords. Only brother Salan can unite them. It's when he needs you most. If you can't be his greatest strength, you won't be enough to scare the people in the north. , You can’t hesitate at all about joining forces!”

"Do you understand? Zhuo Yao!"

After being scolded so severely, many turbulences hidden in my heart emerged.

Pain, reluctance, awe, guilt, desire, obsession, fear, regret, all the emotions are rising and falling one after another, and they can no longer be distinguished.

All pain and struggle have only one outlet, and that is to build the road to hope.

Zhuo Yao wiped away his tears, and all the hesitation and hesitation in his eyes disappeared. He hugged Zhuo Ling and patted her three times on the back, "I know, I will rescue Ah Hong."

"Well, sister will always support you."

These words made Zhuo Yao feel great peace of mind. He chuckled with tears in his eyes, "You are the backbone of Zhennan Palace."

The backbone that supports the unbridled growth of all flesh, muscles, and bones.

Bai Zhi woke up the next day and found the letter letting go of his wife.

There was a sudden sneer, she was actually divorced, she would never admit it!

Also released a wife letter! She has legs and can walk on her own without him letting him go!

He threw the wife-releasing letter into the stove and burned it. If she didn't sign it, it wouldn't count!

It was a marriage, a matter between two people, and he walked out of it without consulting her. This seemed extremely disrespectful to her.

What's more, they have a daughter.

Bai Zhi saw A Gu smiling at her, tears streaming down her face, and she couldn't help but say something depressing.

"Your father doesn't want you anymore."

"He doesn't want me either."
