Chapter 853 He Was Tricked
Xiaowu had clearly promised him that as long as he divorced Zhou and cut off all ties with the past, he could come back and become the master of the prefectural government.
This matter was not a problem for him at all. Zhou had always been very dissatisfied with him, and even his father-in-law and mother-in-law were increasingly dissatisfied with him. It was only a matter of time before he left. In the future, he would have the prefectural government as a backing. If he wanted to do something in the prefectural city, who would dare to give him a cold shoulder?
In order to enter the prefectural government smoothly, when Zhou proposed to divorce and keep her son, he agreed at once.
Anyway, he would be the master of the prefectural government in the future, and many women would be willing to give birth to children for him. Zhou was stubborn, and she would cry in the future.
But what did it mean to tell him now and lock him up in the woodshed?
As the saying goes, a gentleman's word is as good as gold. He never thought that Xiaowu would deceive him. As the eldest son of the Bai family and the eldest brother of the prefectural government, shouldn't he prepare a separate courtyard for him and send maids and women to serve him?
Why did he make a slip of the tongue?
It was too much bullying, and it was infuriating.
Mother, did she know that he was locked up in the woodshed?
Bai Anchen was unwilling to give up, so he rested for a while and continued to knock on the door. He looked out through the crack of the door. In the huge yard, maids and women passed by from time to time, but no one responded to him.
With his physical strength exhausted and his voice hoarse, Bai Anchen leaned against the wall and sat down slowly. Because he was unwilling, he hammered a few more times angrily.
When he calmed down completely, he suddenly realized that he had fallen into the trap he had set up in advance when Xiaowu appeared.
What he couldn't figure out was why Xiaowu lied to him and what was his purpose?
And Zhou, that bitch, knew that he was about to move into the prefect's mansion and become the envied master of the Bai family. Why did she propose a divorce? How dare she propose a divorce?
No matter how he shouted, no one answered his confusion. After tossing for a long time, he was exhausted. Just when he fell asleep in a daze, he suddenly felt the door open.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that the door of the woodshed had opened a crack, and an arm stretched out to put a bowl.
Bai Anchen was startled and hurried over to pry the door open, but unfortunately the person outside was faster than him and closed the door with a bang.

Locked.
Bai Anchen pulled the bolt and slammed the door angrily,
"You bastards, open the door for me quickly, I want to see my mother, send someone to inform my mother quickly."
The two servants guarding outside looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and stood farther away silently. They had tinnitus from being howled by him all day.
No one paid attention to him. No matter how angry Bai Anchen was, he couldn't resist the rumbling of his stomach. He looked at the bowl of egg noodles on the ground and turned his head away.
After being hungry for a day, he always felt that the fragrance of egg noodles filled the whole woodshed... In the end, he reached out his hand.
After eating and drinking, he started to shout again, and he kept shouting for three or four days.
Bai Anchen finally realized that the people in the mansion didn't care about his life or death. No matter how he shouted, no one would pay attention.
"Qingsong, how is it?"
Just when he was desperate, he suddenly heard a low voice outside. Bai Anchen immediately pricked up his ears and silently moved towards the door.
"Grandma Zhu is here. She should have thought it through and stopped shouting."
"Well, watch carefully and don't let anything go wrong."
As the footsteps faded away, the woodshed returned to peace. Bai Anchen looked out through the crack in the door, and saw nothing except a corner of the dark blue hem.
A bunch of dogs who look down on people. Now he is in a desperate situation. Don't let him turn over, otherwise...
The more he thought about it, the more resentful Bai Anchen became. His expression was ferocious and sinister.
In a blink of an eye, two more days passed.
Bai Anchen was nestling in the dark woodshed, his face was full of decadence. Xiaowu had deceived him, and his mother ignored him... He had no support and no confidence in his heart.
No matter how angry and regretful he was, no one would pay attention to him, no one cared about his emotions.
Think about it, Xiaowu was the top scholar, and he was a fifth-rank official. He was the most distinguished person in the family. Who dared to go against his wishes?
And he had nothing except the status of a student, so he was naturally inferior to his mother. It was not strange that his mother didn't care about him and didn't care whether he lived or died.
...But he was obviously the eldest son in the family, and they were a family connected by blood, and these could not be changed.
Xiaowu privately detained him, and did such a thing of fratricide. Wasn't he afraid of affecting his reputation and career?
On the seventh day, Bai Anchen was completely quiet. I don't know if he accepted his fate. He ate the meals delivered every day on time, without missing a single meal.
Bai Yunxi leaned on the side of Luohan's bed, listening to the report from Zhu Pozi, and twitched her lips.
You accepted your fate so quickly? You don't have a strong character.
Until Yaya ran to her and looked at her with an embarrassed face,
"Grandma, I just saw Dad in the woodshed. He said that my uncle locked him up, and asked me to come and tell Grandma to let him out."
Hearing Yaya's tone, Bai Yunxi was stunned,
"Why did Yaya run to the woodshed?"
"After practicing calligraphy, I was strolling in the garden with Dongqing, and I walked over. I heard someone calling me, and I walked over and found that someone was locked up in the woodshed."
Bai Yunxi nodded,
"Yaya, do you still remember what your father looks like?"
When the eldest bear cub left, Yaya was just over three years old. In the blink of an eye, Yaya is over eighty years old.
Looking at grandma's gentle eyes, Yaya blinked her big eyes, nodded and shook her head.
"I have a little impression, but it's not very clear."
"It is indeed your father who is locked up in the woodshed, but he must be punished for his mistakes. Grandma had him locked up to teach him a lesson, and he cannot be released yet."
Listening to grandma's explanation, Yaya nodded with her eyes wide open,
"I will listen to grandma."
The father in her memory was fierce and scary, especially when he was angry, his eyes were the scariest. Just like the eyes she saw through the crack of the door just now, she was so scared that she didn't dare to get close.
Bai Yunxi didn't ignore the fear in Yaya's eyes, and snorted silently. It's a skill to live a life that everyone hates.
Just when she was thinking about how to comfort Yaya, she saw Mrs. Du coming over with a stern face.
When she entered the door and saw her daughter there, Mrs. Du forced a smile,
"Yaya, you are running around again, and you haven't finished your needlework today. I have told you so many times, things are piling up, and you will cry when the time comes."
Listening to her mother's reminder, Yaya pouted.
"I know, I'll go right away. I only have two leaves left to embroider."
Watching Yaya leave with Dongqing, Bai Yunxi saw that she looked worried and pointed to the chair next to her,
"Sit down and talk."
After the eldest son was locked up in the woodshed, the servants didn't dare to gossip about him, but there were only a few people in the family, and they would know it sooner or later.
Mrs. Du didn't sit down, but twisted her handkerchief and walked to Bai Yunxi, bowing,
"Mother, I've thought it through."
