Return to the Road of God

Butler Zhong: "My wife is a very smart woman, but her smartness is used in the wrong place. Saying this may make you unhappy..."

Guan Hongze: "It's okay, you just say it's okay."

Butler Zhong: "It should be obvious that the wife hates Mr. Xia, because she loves the master, but the master only has Mr. Xia in his eyes. Although the master has never expressed his opinion in front of anyone except the second young master Bai, Anyone with a discerning eye can see how special he is to Mr. Xia..."

Just like those deep-house women who have always been slanderous, it seems to be their instinct to endure humiliation for love. They are silent and lurking, waiting for the most favorable opportunity.

Butler Zhong: "My wife didn't show any dislike for Mr. Xia in front of the master in the early years, and even expressed a tolerant attitude towards their unspeakable feelings. So when the old man forced the marriage, the old man didn't even think about it, so he chose A wife whom he thought to be submissive."

Guan Hongze: "..."

When did you start to realize that Fang Ruoyao was not as harmless as she appeared on the surface?Old Zhong thought, maybe a long time ago, when Guan Linyun and Fang Ruoyao were just friends, once, Fang Ruoyao brought some homemade snacks to Guan Linyun and said that he would accompany him to visit Mr. Xia. One year later, Xia Xiaochuan had developed severe hysteria, and often mistook Guan Linyun for Bai Changqing, so the relationship between the two was naturally ambiguous.

Perhaps because of mental problems, Mr. Xia was completely childlike when he became ill. When he saw Guan Linyun, he went up to hug him like no one else, as if he was the only person he saw.

Guan Linyun was willing to coax him, and he didn't avoid anyone, so he let Xia Xiaochuan kiss his cheek in front of Fang Ruoyao, kissed his forehead tenderly back, and talked to him in a doting tone that Fang Ruoyao had never heard before.

Fang Ruoyao just stood there blankly, watching the man she loves make incomprehensible intimacy with another man, just like the second young master Bai watched them not far away, but the two There is an essential difference in the eyes.

Fang Ruoyao's eyes changed from surprise and unwillingness to deep jealousy... For the first time, she knew that this man could also be so affectionate.

But Lao Zhong has always believed in the saying that "human nature is inherently good", at least he thinks it is normal for a woman to be jealous of love, so even though he sees Fang Ruoyao like that, he doesn't think there is anything wrong.

"When the master asked his wife if he would like to marry him, the wife naturally accepted it. One week before the marriage, the master confessed his feelings for Mr. Xia to his wife and gave his wife one last chance to make a decision. My wife..." Steward Zhong shook his head, "She has no hesitation."

Guan Hongze frowned: "But mother is destined not to be happy like this."

"Yes." Who knows what Fang Ruoyao thought back then?Maybe she thinks that waiting patiently will eventually get this Guan Linyun to change his mind. After all, Xia Xiaochuan has always been a man, and he is also a man with a mental illness. He has given his wife enough compensation in terms of material and other trivial matters, and he has given full authority to his wife to take care of family affairs, never asking, and the two respect each other as guests, and they are also a model couple with a harmonious relationship in the eyes of outsiders."

But Lao Zhong knew that Guan Linyun's emotional attitude towards Fang Ruoyao was almost cold, except for the wedding night and the monthly necessary sex, the two almost always slept in separate rooms.

This man seemed to have given all his love to Xia Xiaochuan, and there was nothing left.

Fortunately, Fang Ruoyao had a child soon, and she told Guan Linyun the happy event immediately after she became pregnant, but Guan Linyun not only did not show joy, but heaved a sigh of relief as if he had been relieved.

Perhaps it was then that Fang Ruoyao began to completely hate Xia Xiaochuan.

Afterwards, she began to try every means to separate Guan Linyun and Xia Xiaochuan. When Guan Linyun went to visit Xia Xiaochuan, she called Guan Linyun to come back because of illness from time to time; ; She even went to Xia Xiaochuan when Guan Linyun didn't know about it, and made sarcasm.

Lao Zhong ran into him once by chance, and immediately told Guan Linyun. Guan Linyun was very angry, but when Fang Ruoyao faced his questioning, she only said that she was just chatting with Mr. Xia, and it was Lao Zhong who misunderstood him. Zhong wore the hat of "stowing discord".

Lao Zhong was both aggrieved and helpless, he couldn't understand why Fang Ruoyao, who was originally well-educated and reasonable, would become like this, and he couldn't even understand why a woman turned her face faster than a book, and acting was more real than an actor!

Fang Ruoyao was still pregnant at that time, all the officials supported her, and Guan Linyun didn't dare to do anything to her, but his trust in Lao Zhong was unusual, knowing that this silent and dull servant would not lie to him, and , he also quickly felt some changes from Xia Xiaochuan.

"After Mr. Xia was stimulated by his wife, he hid from the master for a while. After that, when the master went to him, he was extremely cold and told him not to come to him again."

Guan Hongze: "Huh? At that time, did Mr. Xia regard his father as the Second Young Master Bai, or..."

Butler Zhong: "When Mr. Xia said those words to the master, he naturally regarded the master as the master, not the second young master Bai. If the second young master Bai got married, Mr. Xia would probably be devastated..."

Guan Hongze: "..."

"Also, Mr. Xia seems to be aware of something wrong with his mind."

Old Zhong remembered that one day Guan Linyun drank with him and got very drunk. According to those fragmented words, Old Zhong managed to learn that when Xia Xiaochuan mistook Guan Linyun for the second young master Bai, he suddenly woke up and struggled to hide. Kai, looking at Guan Linyun in horror...

"After that, Mr. Xia often lost his mind. The master was worried about him, so he took the documents to Xia Xiaochuan's residence and worked there. At first, Mr. Xia was always in a daze, and later he would quietly watch the master do things. The master accompanied Xia Mister eats, walks with him, and chats with him about the company and the latest news..." Although most of the time, Guan Linyun is talking alone.

Guan Hongze: "What about the mother?"

Butler Zhong: "My wife is raising the baby at home, and the master specially found someone to watch over Mr. Xia's residence and not let her approach here."

Guan Hongze: "So when the mother was pregnant, the father almost didn't come home?"

Butler Zhong: "Yes, the master didn't go when the wife gave birth. The old master was furious when he found out about it, and scolded the master for losing his head."

A trace of sadness floated between Guan Hongze's brows: "Does Grandpa know about Xia Xiaochuan?"

"I know, in fact, as long as the master does not go too far, the old man will turn a blind eye. At that time, he felt that the master had gone too far."

Guan Hongze sighed, and sure enough, he was born unexpectedly...

"My wife blamed Mr. Xia for not being taken seriously, and then did something that I even hate." Butler Zhong handed him a piece of sponge cake in a comforting manner, "so sometimes I also Luckily, the young master is like a master, not a wife."

Guan Hongze's heart tightened: "What did she do?"

Butler Zhong: "She designed the third Miss Bai family to have a relationship with Mr. Xia, and Miss Bai became pregnant with Mr. Xia's child."

"..." Even though he had learned some reference information from Guan Fengming in advance, Guan Hongze still couldn't accept it.

Butler Zhong: "Maybe my wife thinks that if Mr. Xia also marries a wife and has children, the master will let him go."

"San Aunt Bai..." Guan Hongze paused, "Do you know Xia Xiaochuan?"

"She is the younger sister of Bai Er Shao. How could she not know Mr. Xia? What's more, when they first returned to China, Miss Bai San often came to the party held by the master. Speaking of which, Miss Bai San has always admired Mr. Xia. Admiring his talent, Mr. Xia also likes her very much, because... her facial features are very similar to that of Bai Er Shao."

Guan Hongze: "But Mr. Xia's liking should not be love."

"Of course, like Second Young Master Bai, he only regards Miss Bai San as his younger sister."

Back then Fang Ruoyao and Bai Ziyi were also in love with sisters, but Lao Zhong never imagined that Fang Ruoyao would do something to frame his friends for himself.

When it was reported that Bai Ziyi was pregnant out of wedlock, no one connected it with Fang Ruoyao.If it hadn't been for the old Zhong who went home to pick up the documents left behind by Guan Lin that day, and when he saw Bai Ziyi rushing out of Fang Ruoyao's room with tears streaming down his face, he might have been kept in the dark as well.

After that, Bai Ziyi asked Lao Zhong out alone, and anxiously asked him how much he had heard that day.Old Zhong played tricks out of curiosity, saying that he had heard almost everything. In fact, he hadn't heard anything, but he could probably guess that Miss Bai's matter had something to do with Fang Ruoyao.

Bai Ziyi said that she had Mr. Xia's child in her womb, and even if everyone opposed it, she would give birth to it, even if it was to save a queen for her brother and Mr. Xia... The woman gently stroked her belly, feeling lonely and Two completely different emotions of happiness appeared on her face, which gave birth to a strange sense of beauty.

She could have put all the responsibility on Mr. Xia or Fang Ruoyao, but she didn't.She told Lao Zhong that she really hated Fang Ruoyao, but it was all because of her own selfish thoughts. Once people have selfish thoughts, they are easy to be used, no one can blame them.

If Lao Zhong could have been born in a good family, with a background that could reach the Bai family, maybe he would have proposed to Bai Ziyi at that time... But he was very clear about his identity and status at that time, and he wanted to eat if he didn't want to be a toad The dream of swan meat, continue to be a simple spectator.

"I promised her to keep it a secret for her. Among the rumors back then, only the fact that 'Miss Bai is pregnant with Mr. Xia's child' is true. Maybe when Miss Bai was arguing with his wife that day, some servants heard them say If it was the case, or maybe the wife asked someone to let it go, then there were such rumors, but when Ms. Bai was asked about her relationship with Mr. Xia, she denied it flatly."

Fang Ruoyao probably didn't expect Bai Ziyi to be so stubborn. She would rather lose her reputation than hurt the man who ruined her reputation.

Guan Hongze: "Don't Mr. Xia know about this?"

Butler Zhong shook his head: "I also asked, Ms. Bai said that Mr. Xia was in a coma the day the incident happened, and Ms. Bai was very drunk..."

Guan Hongze couldn't believe it: "Mother gave them medicine?"

Old Zhong sighed, deliberately avoided the details, and continued: "Even the master doesn't know about this matter, he thought those rumors were released by the wife to destroy Mr. Xia's reputation."

Guan Hongze was a little surprised, why Butler Zhong didn't even tell his father about this, but told himself.From the very beginning, Butler Zhong didn't seem to have any intention of hiding it from him. He slowly told the past, knowing everything.

But after all this is said, Guan Hongze will not be so stupid as to interrupt Butler Zhong to ask why the other party is so frank. The conversation has inertia. If Butler Zhong doesn't want to talk anymore, he will be the one who suffers. He listened silently. He continued, asking some questions from time to time to guide the conversation, "Did Aunt Bai give birth to Mr. Xia's child?"

Butler Zhong: "It's hard for me to say."

Guan Hongze was surprised: "Why is it hard to say?"

Butler Zhong glanced at him: "Because after the rumors that Miss Bai got pregnant out of wedlock, her sister-in-law also conceived a child at the same time, and soon after, she accompanied her sister-in-law to the countryside to raise a baby."

"..." Guan Hongze had a bad feeling in his heart.

Butler Zhong: "Miss Bai is pregnant without a factual basis, so some people speculate that the Bai family let her sister-in-law act as a cover to protect her innocence."

Guan Hongze murmured, "It's Bai Mu and Bai Qing..."

Butler Zhong: "According to the time calculation, it is indeed very possible. About a year later, Mrs. Bai returned to the city with a pair of twins, but Miss Bai San never came back. I heard that she died of illness in the countryside."

Guan Hongze: "..."
