Chapter 310 Do you want to be my dad?
Zhao Lingxiao sighed, "Zhao Zhao, you might as well ask the third brother to help you investigate from the beginning. I believe the truth will be revealed soon!"
Bai Zhaozhao: ...
"In fact, it's almost the same now. If I am Tang Lei's child, then my father is his former aide. After the accident, he and his wife took Bai Lin and me back to the Bai family, and then sent me to my grandfather to raise. At that time, they refused to acknowledge me. They must have been afraid that the late emperor or King Rui would track me down and wipe out the roots!"
Everyone was silent. What Bai Zhaozhao said was most likely the truth.
So the question is, if Bai Zhaozhao wants to restore his identity, he has to overturn Tang Lei's case, but Tang Lei's crime is treason!
No wonder Bai Shihong had been teaching for more than a decade and refused to take the imperial examination until Bai Lin grew up. Perhaps, it was because Bai Zhaozhao opened the Baiji Workshop and provoked An Shizi that made Bai Shihong decide to take the imperial examination.
Wang Jinnian had a complicated expression: "Zhao Zhao, there are still many doubts here, such as why Tang Lei rebelled, and what specific things did he do to rebel? We don't know these. If we really want to find out, we will definitely alarm His Majesty."
He Anyu also nodded and said, "That's right. After all, these are just our speculations. There is no evidence. Only your father can barely be considered a witness, and he may not know everything."
Zhao Lingxiao said directly: "Tang Lei is the biological brother of the former crown prince. Is it really necessary for him to rebel? Do you think that the current emperor, together with Prince Rui and Prince An, planned against him, and then eliminated the former crown prince? Finally, he launched a palace coup and successfully ascended the throne."
Everyone:...
He Anyu's mouth twitched: "Big Brother, you are quite bold to say that."
Zhao Lingxiao's face was cold: "Why not? I'm not an official."
He Anyu: ...
Bai Zhaozhao was silent for a moment: "It shouldn't be, otherwise my father wouldn't let me come to the capital, nor would he agree to let me become the adopted daughter of Prince An. Besides, Senior Brother, don't you know Prince An? What do you think of his character?"
Zhao Lingxiao agreed: "Yes, he was very happy to give the money!"
Bai Zhaozhao: ...
Wang Jinnian gently touched his temple and said, "In short, this matter happened too long ago and is too complicated. If Zhao Zhao is really the child of Tang Lei and Ye's daughter, then overturning the case is as difficult as changing the dynasty."
Bai Zhaozhao lowered her eyes slightly. She understood that Wang Jinnian was right. Whether the Ye family was destroyed or Tang Lei rebelled, these were all the decisions of the late emperor!
Perhaps Emperor Yongkang did not participate in anything back then, he was just vying for the throne, but it was still inconvenient for him to reverse the verdict for his younger brother Tang Lei, because that meant that he would deny his father, and that he would openly accuse the previous emperor of doing something wrong and being a tyrant!
This is extremely unfilial!
What's more, he did not come to the throne in a legitimate way, and needed a lot of benevolent and filial deeds to hide the truth, in order to prove that it was wise for the previous emperor to pass the throne to him.
So Bai Zhaozhao said softly: "Forget it, brothers, don't try to find a solution for me. I just need to ask my father to confirm whether I am Tang Lei's child. I just want to know the truth. The rest is not important."
Wang Jinnian, Zhao Lingxiao, and He Anyu were all silent, and seemed to agree with Bai Zhaozhao's proposal.
Only Zhu Hanyan asked faintly: "Why do you always make things so complicated?"
Everyone looked at him, as if to say, what do you think?
Zhu Hanyan said calmly: "What Zhao Zhao wants is to be able to leave the Bai family in name only, so why don't we just publicize the fact that she was picked up?
Then we can find someone to act out a drama of recognizing relatives, so that Zhao Zhao can recognize her ancestors, right? Does her father have to be that Tang Lei?"
Everyone:! ! !
Zhao Lingxiao was the first to react and immediately agreed: "That's right, the process is not important, what matters is the result. Having a living father is better than a dead one! I am a perfect match!"
Bai Zhaozhao: ???
I treat you as my senior brother, but you want to be my father?
Zhu Hanyan taunted, "You? You gave birth to a child before you were ten? If you say so, then I can do it too!"
Zhao Lingxiao remained calm: "What's the big deal? As long as I don't tell you, no one will know my real age. I don't have a household registration."
Zhu Hanyan was speechless. Zhao Lingxiao was indeed the only one among their fellow disciples who did not have a household registration. He was picked up from the temple by the master and later became a secret guard. He never thought of getting a household registration for himself.
He Anyu seemed to be a little moved: "Big Brother, you'd better not think about it. I think my family is very suitable. My mother said that she once aborted a daughter."
Wang Jinnian also said: "Then I think the Xie family is more suitable. Xie Xingmeng can have a younger sister."
Bai Zhaozhao was a little confused. She didn't know why the situation suddenly changed and they actually started looking for fake parents for her.
But she was deeply touched, as her fellow practitioners were helping her wholeheartedly, hoping that she could achieve her wish.
Bai Zhaozhao looked at the sky and refused, "I already have an adoptive father and a foster father, so I don't need another fake father. As for Tang Lei's matter, let me think about it. Brothers, go back and rest first!"
Wang Jinnian looked at her deeply and said meaningfully, "Zhao Zhao, some things are better explained clearly."
Bai Zhaozhao was slightly stunned and nodded: "I understand, thank you, Senior Brother."
She knew that Wang Jinnian was naturally talking about Bai Lin.
Although Bai Lin has lost his memory, he is still the Bai Lin who is successful in official circles, the Bai Lin with upright character, intelligence and determination.
Even though he forgot some memories, his personality, preferences, habits, abilities, and IQ remained unchanged.
The fact that he sacrificed himself for Bai Zhaozhao was a fact that always existed, and once it existed, there would be traces left. Rather than discovering any other clues himself, it would be better for Bai Zhaozhao to tell him clearly in person.
Finally, a few days later, Bai Lin was on day off and went to the study to read. He was absorbed in reading when Bai Zhaozhao suddenly pushed the door open.
Bai Lin was startled and quickly closed the book, saying helplessly: "Sister Zhao, can't you knock on the door?"
"Okay!"
The next moment, Bai Zhaozhao stepped back outside the door, closed it and started knocking.
Bai Lin: ...This scene seems familiar.
"come in!"
Bai Zhaozhao came in again and put the cakes on the table: "Hey, I made them myself, eat them!"
Bai Lin asked curiously, "Hey, you can also make pastries? Well, I'll try it. Finally you won't send me tonic medicine anymore!"
Then Bai Lin picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth, exclaiming as he ate, "Mm, it tastes good."
Bai Zhaozhao laughed and said, "There's laxative in it!"
"Poof!" Bai Lin spat out the cake in his mouth and looked at Bai Zhaozhao in disbelief, "Why did you drug me?"
Bai Zhaozhao nodded: "Well, your reaction is quite normal, don't worry, there is no laxative."
Bai Lin was speechless: "Sister Zhao, I just lost my memory, not become stupid."
Bai Zhaozhao said as he cleaned up the crumbs on the table: "Yeah, you're not stupid... but there are some people who are stupid. They always eat the drugged cakes."
Bai Lin looked puzzled: "Who is so stupid?"
Bai Zhaozhao shook his head: "He is not stupid, I am the stupid one. I didn't know I was so important in his heart."
Bai Lin understood what Bai Zhaozhao said. It was obvious that there was something else behind her words. He thought for a moment and said, "Is the person that Zhaozhao mentioned also important to you?"
Bai Zhaozhao raised his eyes to look at Bai Lin, then sat down at the table and said softly, “Well, it wasn’t that important before, but it’s different now.”
Bai Lin was stunned: "Does he like you? Does he want to marry you?"
"Um... probably not..."
"It must be! I object!"
