Chapter 168 The Unsolvable Problem
"If that child comes back, what will happen to Qiuyun and Ling'er?"
"Ling'er is on the Bai family genealogy!"
"Where do you intend to place Qiuyun and Ling'er?"
Ye Hongyi's eyes reddened at the thought of Ling'er.
Her Ling'er, this is the granddaughter she wanted.
She wouldn't admit to other children.
So what if Qiuyun conceived the child with that person?
Ling'er is also a granddaughter of the Bai family, and she also has the blood of the Bai family in her body.
"Don't you know best how Ye Qiuyun got pregnant?"
At this point, Bai Jingyuan's lips curled into a sarcastic smile.
"She's not carrying Mu Huai's biological daughter after all. Even if she has Bai family blood, so what? She's still not my granddaughter!"
Bai Jingyuan turned around and looked at Ye Hongyi with a gloomy gaze.
At this moment, Ye Hongyi felt an indescribable pain welling up in her heart.
She knew that Bai Jingyuan had always cared about Ling'er's identity and the child's father. After all, she was the one who brought up that matter back then, and she had her own helplessness and difficulties in doing so. Why couldn't Jingyuan let go of the past?
The child's father is indeed...
This incident became a knot in Bai Jingyuan's heart that was difficult to untie.
But Qiuyun and Ling'er are innocent. After all, Ling'er is a member of the Bai family, isn't she?
“Jingyuan, you can’t treat Qiuyun and Ling’er like this.” Ye Hongyi’s voice trembled. She tried her best to maintain her dignity, but tears were already welling up in her eyes. “Ling’er is a child of our Bai family, and that will not change because of anyone’s prejudice.”
"Prejudice?" Bai Jingyuan sneered. "This is a matter of principle. Ye Hongyi, when did you become so unreasonable?"
“It’s not that I’m unreasonable, I just can’t bear to see innocent children being hurt.”
Ye Hongyi's tone was firm: "Qiuyun is not wrong, but Ling'er also has the blood of the Bai family flowing in her veins. She is also our granddaughter. Husband, can you let go of the past? Wouldn't it be better to let go?"
As she finished speaking, Ye Hongyi looked at Bai Jingyuan with a hint of expectation in her eyes.
Bai Jingyuan's gaze lingered on Ye Hongyi's face, and his heart softened involuntarily.
How could he not want to let go of the past? He might never be able to let go in his entire life.
"Let go? You make it sound so easy. Mu Huai is your son. If he were still alive, you wouldn't even consider acknowledging him? He's my eldest son." Pain welled up in Bai Jingyuan's eyes. If you asked him what he regretted most, you would know.
That is, they listened to Ye Hongyi and asked Mu Huai's master to arrest him.
It was even more wrong of them to let an elder in the family attack their son from behind.
She shouldn't have treated her son that way.
Bai Jingyuan had long regretted it.
"Even if you don't intend to acknowledge it, then don't. Just go live with Ye Qiuyun and Ling'er. I'm tired, really tired. From now on, you'd better take care of yourself." Bai Jingyuan said this, showing no regard for Ye Hongyi being his wife, and then turned and left.
Watching her husband leave, Ye Hongyi was completely dumbfounded.
She never expected that her husband would be angry with her now.
Ye Hongyi's face was quite pale, and tears of grievance welled up in her eyes.
This was the first time Bai Jingyuan had spoken to her like this. Ye Hongyi felt as if her heart was being pierced by needles, and the pain made it hard for her to breathe. She slumped into a chair, covered her face with her hand, and tears slid through her fingers. She never imagined that all her hard work would end up like this.
"Jingyuan, are you really going to be so heartless?"
Ye Hongyi murmured softly, her heart filled with helplessness and sorrow.
She did nothing wrong in that matter. Ever since she married into the Bai family, she has devoted herself to the Bai family. She was just thinking of helping her own family. Was that wrong? Even if her son didn't want to marry Qiu Yun, it wasn't impossible. The main problem was that her son actually fell in love with a fox, and a fox demon at that.
She didn't care whether this woman was a descendant of the Heavenly Fox or not.
A fox is a fox; its blood will always be dirty.
Even if it wasn't Qiu Yun, he could have found a human girl. There was no need for him to fall for a fox spirit. It's all the fox spirit's fault for clinging to Mu Huai. Otherwise, Mu Huai wouldn't have ended up like this. With his soul and spirit destroyed, will Mu Huai ever come back?
It's unlikely he'll come back; after all, his soul has dissipated into dust.
How can it be so easy to just come back?
Reality is cruel; Mu Huai has already left.
All that remains is endless longing and regret.
Just then, a timid voice came from outside the door.
"Grandma, isn't Grandpa here? Ling'er has something she wants to tell Grandpa."
Ling'er's childish voice came from the doorway.
Upon hearing her granddaughter's voice, Ye Hongyi quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
With a gentle smile, she waved to Bai Shuling, who was standing at the door, and called for her to come in. Upon seeing this, Bai Shuling cautiously entered the study and slowly came to Ye Hongyi's side. She glanced around the study as if searching for some clue.
"Grandma, what's wrong? Why are your eyes red? Did Grandpa make you angry?"
Bai Shuling asked with concern, reaching out to gently touch Ye Hongyi's cheek.
It was as if she was wiping away the tears that hadn't dried on Ye Hongyi's face.
Ye Hongyi looked at her obedient appearance.
He loved Ling'er even more.
She was still thinking about what Bai Jingyuan was thinking. He didn't want such an obedient granddaughter, but insisted on having a granddaughter with the blood of a fox demon. Anyway, she would never acknowledge the child that woman gave birth to!
Ye Hongyi smiled gently as she looked at the little girl in front of her.
"Ling'er, Grandma is fine, it's just that some sand got in her eyes. Is there something you need to talk to your grandpa about? You can tell Grandma too." Bai Shuling could tell that her grandma and grandpa had argued, but she didn't know what the argument was about.
But she chose not to expose him, and simply answered obediently, "It's just that Ling'er wants to go to the Nine Heavens Sect to become a disciple. I want to take the God Fusu as my master. Grandma, can I go? All my brothers have gone, and I want to go too."
Bai Shuling tugged at Ye Hongyi's sleeve and said coquettishly.
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation for the future, for the person she loved was there.
Upon hearing this, Ye Hongyi was shocked.
She knew what kind of existence the Nine Heavens Sect was, and that God Fusu was a supreme god in the divine realm.
If she could receive his guidance, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous help to Ling'er's cultivation path.
However, the master of that Venerable Yuehua was also the God Fusu.
This... is a bit tricky.
She couldn't bring herself to make Ling'er and Venerable Yuehua become fellow disciples.
Ye Hongyi looked troubled, her mind in turmoil, wondering whether or not to let Ling'er go.
If Ling'er goes, it's like offering herself up to be beaten.
Ye Hongyi couldn't stand seeing others bully Ling'er.
“Ling’er, going to the Nine Heavens Sect is fine, but could we change our master? The others are also acceptable. You know that Venerable Yuehua is also a personal disciple of God Fusu, and besides, there was that incident that happened to the Bai family a while ago…”
