Chapter 340 I'm the only one who can't do it
Bai Zhaozhao watched Li Rongyue turn around and leave. Somehow, the resentment he felt for being abandoned by him in the original novel suddenly became relieved.
Although she did not have the same real emotions as the original owner, she had a strong sense of immersion when reading the book, so she actually had a bit of resentment towards Li Rongyue, and would try to act a little distant when she met him after traveling through the book.
In fact, there were several times when she wanted to ask Li Rongyue why she couldn't protect her well in her previous life. But in the end, she held back because she could protect herself well in this life.
Perhaps, whether in the past life or now, what Bai Zhaozhao has always longed for is this kind of firm choice!
Some people say that to forgive someone who has hurt you in the past is to stab your former self in the back!
But at this moment, she really wanted to say sorry to Bai Zhaozhao in her previous life. She really got rid of this resentment.
"Okay, Li Rongyue, I forgive you!" Bai Zhaozhao said to himself.
Unexpectedly, a slightly excited voice came from outside the window: "...Okay!"
Bai Zhaozhao: ...
"You haven't left yet?"
After a moment, Zhao Lingxiao stood outside the window: "Let's go now."
Bai Zhaozhao: “…Oh.”
Seeing that Zhao Lingxiao was hesitant to speak, Bai Zhaozhao asked, "What's wrong, Senior Brother?"
Zhao Lingxiao said softly: "Zhao Zhao, Bai Lin was here just now."
Bai Zhaozhao was slightly stunned: "...and then what?"
Zhao Lingxiao: "He stood at the gate of the yard for a long time without any movement. When he saw Li Rongyue leave, he left too."
Bai Zhaozhao: "Okay, I got it! Take a rest, brother."
Zhao Lingxiao nodded and returned to the yard next door. When he looked up, he saw Zhu Hanyan looking at him curiously.
"Is something wrong?"
"Big Brother, why did you deliberately tell Zhao Zhao that Bai Lin had been here?"
“…I was entrusted by someone.”
"Who?"
"Nothing to do with you."
"..."
Three days later.
Emperor Yongkang issued an edict that Princess Zhaohe was the exiled bloodline of Prince An, and now she was ordered to return to the royal family, renamed Tang Zhaozhao, and rewarded with a number of treasures. In addition, the Bai clan of Hexi Village was rewarded with a thousand hectares of fertile land and a plaque for their contribution to nurturing the royal bloodline.
At the same time, Bai Shihong and Bai Shikang were secretly promoted, but Bai Lin got nothing because he had just been promoted.
It is worth mentioning that many stories about the palace banquet were circulated among the people in Beijing, such as the malicious frame-up by Tianji Taoist, Bai Zhaozhao bravely died; the brave recognition of Prince An by the emperor, and the anger on the spot; and the last appearance of Zen Master Guiyuan, and everyone was delighted...
In short, the topic about Bai Zhaozhao became the hottest gossip in the capital!
Of course, among the powerful and wealthy, these gossips are nothing. People who know the truth about the banquet prefer to discuss Bai Lin and Li Rongyue.
They are all outstanding people!
Tang Yanyan was very excited. Not only did she help the princess hold a banquet at Prince An's Mansion to celebrate Bai Zhaozhao's return to his ancestral home, but she also held another banquet after returning to the Bai family, saying that it was to celebrate the glory for the Bai family.
This made the Bai family laugh and cry, as if they had married a wife but lost their daughter.
The most shocked person should be Prince An Tang Hao who had just returned to the capital. He once again experienced what fate meant. Su Ling was his cousin, and Bai Zhaozhao was actually his biological sister!
He really wanted to ask his father what was going on. Didn't he have an idea about it at the beginning? Now he had become his biological son?
Are you kidding me? Luckily, he had gotten over it a long time ago, otherwise he would have wanted to die!
But no matter how he inquired, everyone said that Bai Zhaozhao was Prince An's biological daughter and had moved from Bai's Mansion to the Prince's Mansion.
Mingxiang Teahouse.
"Ah, it's really a changing world. I suddenly became your legal brother from your sworn brother. It's really... cause for celebration, isn't it, Brother Bai?" Tang Hao looked at Bai Lin opposite him with a satisfied look on his face.
Bai Lin looked up at him, then took the teapot and poured him a cup of tea: "Well, congratulations, you will be able to eat cakes from your sister in the future!"
Tang Hao: ...What's the matter? Is this matter going to get over?
But then he became happy again: "I'm getting married soon, and I have my own wife to make cakes for me! But you, Brother Bai, probably won't be able to eat it! How do you feel about being a legitimate brother and becoming an adopted brother?"
Bai Lin paused for a moment, took a sip of tea, and with a bitter look on his face, he sighed, "Of course I can't compare to you, Brother Tang. You have a bright future, a good marriage, and a great sister!"
After saying this, Bai Lin glanced at Tang Hao indifferently, with a hint of resentment in his expression.
Tang Hao didn't know why, but he felt a little guilty, so he quickly comforted him: "Brother Bai, it's not that serious. Your sister... um, my sister... I mean Zhao Zhao, she is still herself, she hasn't changed at all. The grace of giving birth and raising her is the same, we as her brothers..."
Tang Hao paused, and suddenly realized that what he said was not quite right. Bai Zhaozhao was well raised by the Bai family, but she was only raised under Bai Shihong's name for a few years. The person who really raised her was the old man from the Bai family.
Therefore, this favor of raising her cannot be counted as belonging to Bai Shihong’s family. Moreover, Bai Lin is no longer Bai Zhaozhao’s brother, so it is not appropriate to treat her well in the name of a brother.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward, but Bai Lin seemed not to notice it. After drinking another cup of tea, he slowly said, "Brother Tang, you know what? I envy you very much!"
Tang Hao sneered: "Why do you envy me? My former sweetheart has become a brother and sister?"
Bai Lin became serious, his handsome face showing a bit of bitterness: "Yes!"
Tang Hao was stunned: "You..."
Bai Lin continued to pour himself tea and laughed at himself: "Brother Tang is open-minded and can let go. You liked her at the beginning and you could treat her well. Now that you have let her go, you can still treat her well.
I am different. I couldn't even keep my position as an elder brother. Now, anyone can be nice to her, Wang Jinnian, He Anyu, Li Rongyue!
Only me! Only I am not qualified, only I can’t…”
Tang Hao was shocked. Bai Lin hid his thoughts so well!
"You actually..."
"Did I scare you? Sorry!"
"..."
Tang Hao quickly drank some tea to calm himself, and then fell into deep thought. Thinking about it carefully, Bai Lin actually had no choice about the position of brother from the very beginning, right?
So he endured, accepted his fate, and never crossed the line. The only time he expressed himself was at a palace banquet when Taoist Tianji questioned him and said what was in his heart.
It seemed that he had never expected to get anything, but unfortunately, he lost even the last bit of status.
Slowly, Tang Hao's eyes turned into admiration, and suddenly he thought of something: "Brother Bai, why did you say no? Since we are not brother and sister anymore, isn't it... just right?"
Bai Lin was stunned for a moment, but soon his eyes revealed a bit of brokenness: "It's not a matter of identity, it's because...she doesn't want to."
Tang Hao was stunned: "You mean, she knows?"
Bai Lin nodded: "Yes, she is so smart, how could she not guess? Including the matter of my memory recovery, she can guess it."
Tang Hao's expression tightened: "Then... others... don't know, right?"
Bai Lin was silent for a moment: "Of course, as long as you don't tell anyone."
Tang Hao breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone! So... what are you going to do?"
Bai Lin shook his head slightly, looking confused: "I don't know."
