Chapter 168
Le Zhengzhi's mind was no longer on Le Zheng Shui Ling and the others. He was distracted several times, and Le Zheng Shui Ling couldn't help complaining.
Le Zhengzhi knew that he was not in the mood to continue teaching. When Le Zhengquan came and saw that he was not interested, he helped him out. He then went down the stairs and entrusted the rest of the practice for the three of them to Le Zhengquan. Then, ignoring what Le Zheng Shuiling had not finished saying, he turned over and jumped over the wall.
Le Zheng Shuiling felt unhappy seeing them coming in and out without any rules every time, but she also wanted to give it a try. However, she was grabbed by Le Zheng Yuhua, so she could only look at him and smile foolishly to divert his attention.
Le Zhengzhi walked out of the alley, but he couldn't help looking back several times. He hesitated whether he should turn back and ask for clarification, but his feet kept moving forward.
The person who was staring at Fang Yuan, seeing him scratching his ears and cheeks, actually mistakenly thought that he was stupid.
Le Zhengzhi didn't walk away until he looked back and realized that he had to find a good angle to see Fang Yuan. He shook his head, sighed, and walked home.
At the door of his house, Le Zhengzhi saw that it was open and knew that Bai Zhi had returned. He couldn't help but think of Mu Xin's words. He was 90% sure that his biological son was still alive, but he couldn't say it to Bai Zhi at all.
Thinking about how Bai Zhi would be resentful if she knew that he had already known about it, Le Zhengzhi couldn't help but rush in to find her.
Seeing how hurried he was, Bai Zhi thought he had come back drunk, so she poured him some water and brought him some hangover medicine. Only then did she realize that there was almost no smell of alcohol on Le Zhengzhi, and she couldn't help being a little surprised.
But when he thought that he was going to teach them some magic spells today, it was right for him not to drink.
"If you have something to say, just say it. If it's inconvenient for you to tell me, then don't say it. Look at you, you don't want to say it, don't make it seem like I don't understand your situation."
"Madam, I..."
Le Zhengzhi really couldn't say it. She had obviously accepted the fact that her son had died. The matter was brought up again some time ago, which made her very sad. Now there was such news, and she didn't know the whereabouts of her child yet. Le Zhengzhi was worried that she would be disappointed after giving him hope.
"But what about Le Zheng?"
"can say that."
"Then you'd better keep it to yourself. I don't want to worry about it."
Seeing Bai Zhi turning around to leave, Le Zhengzhi subconsciously reached out and grabbed her. After looking up and meeting Bai Zhi's eyes, he hesitated and let go of her hand.
“This is about us, too.”
Le Zhengzhi just couldn't utter this sentence. Bai Zhi also realized from his abnormal behavior that what he wanted to say but couldn't say was tormenting him.
Bai Zhi originally thought that Le Zheng's matter was already enough of a headache, and it wasn't good news that she would be so happy to blurt out, so Bai Zhi really didn't want to hear it.
She wanted to pretend she didn't know and walk away, but when she thought of Le Zhengzhi's painful expression behind her, she couldn't bear it.
She turned around, sat next to him, and took his hand. When Le Zhengzhi raised his head with a dazed look on his face, Bai Zhi felt even more distressed. He hadn't looked like this for a long time.
"lady?"
"Look at you like this, how can I bear to leave? We are husband and wife, and we have already agreed to share the good and the bad. If you want to tell me what you want to say, then just say it." Seeing that Le Zhengzhi was still frowning and hesitating, Bai Zhi couldn't help but question him: "Is there anything you can't tell me? Don't I know enough? You don't need one more thing."
Seeing that Bai Zhi was angry, Le Zhengzhi almost blurted out the answer, but he was really afraid that Bai Zhi would ask him where the child was and he would not be able to answer.
I was also afraid of upsetting Bai Zhi's usually calm heart, as she had just finally gotten over the pain of losing her son.
"I don't want to listen anymore." Seeing that she was about to leave, Le Zhengzhi couldn't help but stood up and called her. Bai Zhi became even angrier and said unhappily, "What's wrong with you? You don't want to talk but you have to call me. Since you think it's not good to talk to me and you feel uncomfortable holding it in, then... whoever you think can listen can talk to him if you want. Don't make me angry here."
"Ma'am, after so many years, I don't want to open up our wounds again and again."
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhi knew that this matter was related to their child.
"Haven't you just torn it open once? Since it's going to be torn open sooner or later, I might as well let you tear it open once and for all. At least the heartache only needs to be healed once."
"This time is different."
"Different? How is it different? Could it be that... you have found a new lover outside? Or do you have a child with someone else? Do you want me to accept him?"
When Le Zhengzhi heard this, he immediately became anxious. He was about to explain, but when he saw Bai Zhi's tearful eyes, Le Zhengzhi realized that the pain of losing a child and losing the feeling of being a mother forever was never healed.
However, he failed to give her enough sense of security, which led her to have such thoughts.
Le Zhengzhi knelt down with a bang and apologized to her.
"I'm sorry, ma'am."
Bai Zhi couldn't help it anymore, she covered her mouth and cried while holding onto the door.
"It's just karma. If it weren't for me, Zuo Si and Yang Yan wouldn't have been missing for so many years, one dead and the other missing until now, and the head and wife of the He family wouldn't have come to this end. My child has been paying off my debt since he was born. How can I deserve your apology? None of you have ever apologized to me."
Le Zhengzhi wanted to go over and comfort her, but he felt he was not qualified. He had not noticed her self-blame for so many years and blamed himself for the child's death.
Suddenly, he thought of what Mu Xin said, that the child was still alive. At this moment, he no longer found it difficult to talk about it. Instead, he felt that it was a good medicine to untie Bai Zhi's knot in her heart.
Although he still didn't know the whereabouts of the child, he already had a plan. Even if he had to become a traitor to Le Zheng, he had to make this deal with Mu Xin.
"Ma'am, please rest assured. I will bring our child back safely."
"Our...child? Are you really going to acknowledge someone else's child? Le Zhengzhi, you are insulting me."
Le Zhengzhi went over to stop the angry Bai Zhi, but Bai Zhi didn't want to listen to his excuses and tried to break free from his hand.
Suddenly there was a noise outside the door, the two men stopped, Le Zhengli flashed in and waved his hand to close the door.
"Master Zhi, please be careful. Walls have ears."
"Could it be..."
"Don't worry, I was watching, I guess I didn't hear anything."
"Thank you, uncle."
"Don't be polite with me, you guys are... As expected, they saw through everything. After Miss Xin'er calmed down, she knew that something was going to happen to you, so she specially asked me to come here.
I know that you have determined this matter for more than ten years. It is really difficult for you to accept another result suddenly, especially when it comes from the mouth of someone who cannot be easily trusted.
However, she, Mu Xin, is strong enough and will not deceive you with such things.
Of course, this is just my perception, and it is up to you to decide what you think. "
"How did this matter involve Miss Mu? Ah Zhi, you wouldn't..."
"I, I didn't, Madam, please don't let your imagination run wild. Well, this is actually the case. As for Miss Mu Xin, I really don't know what her identity is and what she wants to do. She just wants me to help her. It's a deal. The condition is that I help her do something, and after the task is completed, she will tell me the whereabouts of our child."
"What do you mean by that?"
"She said our son is still alive."
Bai Zhi almost fell down, and Le Zhengzhi quickly reached out to support her.
"Alive? What do you mean?"
Le Zhengzhi helped her sit down and explained everything to her from the beginning. When Bai Zhi learned that Murong Ying was still alive, she immediately wanted to go and see her. She also wanted to ask Mu Xin where her child was.
However, Le Zhengzhi pulled her aside and told her about Le Ying's reminder, and combined with what had just happened, Bai Zhi quickly calmed down.
"Back then, we were able to think of the idea of child replacement. Maybe there are others who did the same thing after I did."
"It's Pinellia, it's..." Bai Zhi had this feeling in an instant. The more she thought about the past, the more she felt that her idea was right. She couldn't help crying and laughing. Le Zhengzhi didn't understand why. He only heard her say, "Alive, yes, alive, my child."
"lady?"
