After handling the matters at the funeral home, Dongfang Han took his father back to Dongfang's home.
After a day of busy work on Dongfang Yi¡¯s funeral, coupled with the whole day¡¯s grief, Dongfang Han and his father were both physically and mentally exhausted.
The moment Dongfang Zhenhua stepped out of the car, his whole body was on the verge of collapse, and his eyes were filled with sadness.
Dongfang Han saw that his father was not in good condition and quickly helped him.
"Father, don't feel too uncomfortable. Take care of yourself."
Regarding Dongfang Yi¡¯s body and ashes, Dongfang Han did not mention it to his father because he was afraid that his father would be hit.
He had too many doubts in his heart and wanted to ask Bai Liyue for confirmation.
But it was late at night, and he had to settle his father first.
Dongfang Zhenhua¡¯s eyes were moist.
He gently pushed Dongfang Han away, looked up at the dark night sky, and sighed heavily.
"I really don't know what evil my Dongfang family has done. Like the dream has disappeared, Wanwan is nowhere to be found. Now, even Yiyi has left me"
Since ancient times, it has been the most unacceptable thing for a white-haired person to give a black-haired person a gift.
The Dongfang family has experienced blow after blow. Even if Dongfang Zhenhua is made of iron, it cannot withstand it.
The dark night sky at this moment, just like his mood, was oppressive and suffocating, making him breathless.
Dongfang Han's heart felt like a knife piercing his heart when he saw his father in such pain.
In just one month, he lost his mother and two sisters and almost collapsed.
But he knew that he was now the backbone of the Dongfang family and could not fall down, nor could anyone see his fragility.
Even though his heart felt like it was being cut by thousands of sharp knives, he still had to cheer up.
"Father, don't think so, maybe"
Halfway through his words, Dongfang Han stopped again.
He wanted to say that maybe the second sister was still alive.
However, he was not sure and did not dare to give his father this hope easily.
Dongfang Zhenhua raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and blinked several times.
"There is no need to comfort me. Father knows that you feel even more uncomfortable. At such an age, you have to suffer so many separations and separations. Your father is incompetent and failed to protect your mother and sister. It is your father who is sorry for you."
He put his hand on Dongfang Han's shoulder and burst into tears.
Dongfang Han's eyes heated up: "Father, don't say that. I don't blame you, but don't blame yourself so much."
Dongfang Zhenhua couldn't help but shed tears in his eyes, and choked up: "If I had known this, I might as well have let Yiyi not be the princess. At least, she can stay with me safely now."
When the two of them were hurt, they didn't notice at all that Dongfang Yizheng was walking towards them step by step.
Looking at her father¡¯s stooped back, she spoke with difficulty and shouted: ¡°Father.¡±
Dongfang Zhenhua paused.
Even though he didn¡¯t see anyone, his daughter¡¯s voice was all too familiar to him.
He turned around sharply.
I saw an ordinary-looking woman wearing gray cleaning clothes standing there.
"Yiyi!"
He froze in place, shocked.
Even though her appearance has changed, Dongfang Zhenhua can still tell that this is Dongfang Yi!
Dongfang Han was also shocked and did not recover for a long time.
Dongfang Yi approached them step by step, with a gentle smile on his lips: "Father, brother, it's me."
Looking at the living Dongfang Yi in front of him, Dongfang Zhenhua stretched out his hand tremblingly and grasped her wrist.
When he felt the warmth on her body and truly felt that she was still alive, Dongfang Zhenhua was so shocked that his pupils dilated.
"Yiyi! You are still alive!"
Dongfang Yi held his hand back and gave him a very confirmed answer: "Father, I am still alive, I am not dead, and I am not the one who was cremated in the coffin."
Dongfang Zhenhua and Dongfang Han's faces filled with sadness suddenly turned into joy.
"Yiyi, what on earth is going on!"
Dongfang Yi withdrew his hand and knelt in front of Dongfang Zhenhua very respectfully.
"Father, please forgive my daughter for her willfulness and self-assertion. It was me who wanted to escape from the palace and the eldest prince, so I asked Liyue to rescue me from the palace and performed a play with me."
Dongfang Zhenhua and his son looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.
Dongfang Han quickly helped Dongfang Yi and asked, "Second sister, what on earth are you talking about? Why are you running away from the eldest prince? Isn't he very good to you?"
Dongfang Yi looked at the confusion on the faces of his father and younger brother, and lifted up his cuffs, revealing the bruises on his arms.
Dongfang Zhenhua said in surprise: "This, this is?"
Dongfangyi put down his cuffs.
"He was the one who beat me, father and brother. I never mentioned it in front of you, just because I was afraid that you would worry.
The eldest prince has a violent temper and is moody. For so many years, I have spent every day in torment.
Actually, I am not as happy as the outside world sees me. On the contrary, I feel that being this princess makes my days feel like years. "
After she finally confessed her feelings to her family for many years, she felt relieved for no reason.
Looking at the surprised expressions of her father and brother, she lowered her head and smiled bitterly, and continued: "I know, maybe you can't understand, and you may even think that I am acting impulsively."
At this point, she turned her back and spoke in a low tone.
"But I don't think so. Marrying Huangfu Yuncheng was not what I wanted. Over the years, I have tried my best for the Dongfang family.
¡°Perhaps, father, you will scold me for being unfilial. As an adopted daughter, I am very lucky to grow up to be so old and to be born into a noble family.
I feel the same way, so I want to give everything I have to repay my parents for their upbringing. "
By the time she finished speaking, she was already crying.
"But, father, do you know how suffocating it is to be unable to decide your own destiny and live a life of a walking zombie every day"
Thinking back on the days spent with Huangfu Yuncheng over the years, Dongfang Yi felt cold all over.
She didn¡¯t dare to think about it, didn¡¯t dare to recall it, and she didn¡¯t dare to look back at the expressions of her father and brother at this time.
Listening to his father¡¯s distressed voice behind him, Dongfang Yi interrupted him: ¡°Father, don¡¯t worry, although the eldest prince has not discovered that I faked my death, I will not harm you, nor will I harm the Dongfang family.
I just came back to take a look at you and Xiaohan. I felt relieved when I saw that you were safe. I will leave here and go to a place far away.
You, just pretend that you don¡¯t have me as your daughter, and you don¡¯t have me as your sister. "
Dongfang Yi took a breath and raised his feet to leave.
Dongfang Zhenhua strode over, stretched out his hand to stop her, and said sadly: "Yiyi, silly kid, this is your home, where else do you want to go?"
Dongfang Han also walked over, his eyes red with tears.
"Second sister! We are a family. Although you are not related by blood to me and my father, my father and I have never treated you as an outsider!"
Dongfang Zhenhua held her hand tightly, tears falling from the corners of his wrinkled eyes.
"Yiyi, you stupid kid, you have never regarded us as your real family and never confided in us.
¡°If father had known that you would suffer so much in the palace, I would not have let you marry into the royal family even if I tried my best! "(Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
