Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince

At that time, Bai Zhiyuan hurried to Bai Tingxuan's study.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't know what to do, so he knocked on the door hurriedly and walked straight in.

After she entered, her father was sitting at the desk writing something. When he saw her come in, he asked with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Ayuan, why are you here? What's the matter?"

Bai Zhiyuan pondered for a moment and said, "Father, I heard that General Huaiyuan is coming to the mansion today. What's the matter?"

Bai Tingxuan's eyes were filled with more doubts, but he still answered his daughter obediently: "He came here today to apologize."

Bai Zhiyuan understood: "Apologize? Is it because of the matter between Jiang Muyun and King Yan?"

Bai Tingxuan replied: "That's right."

Bai Zhiyuan raised her eyes, stared at Bai Tingxuan in a daze and said, "Father, in my opinion, his apology was fake, and his intention to murder you was real."

Bai Tingxuan was startled, and then said angrily: "Ayuan, what are you talking about. I know that you have some complaints about the Jiang family because of Muyun and His Royal Highness Prince Yan, but Jiang Shuyan has followed my father in battles for decades, and I still trust his character. If a son is not taught well, it is the fault of the father. Even if Jiang Shuyan made mistakes, he would never murder me."

Bai Zhiyuan's slightly furrowed brows tightened even more. She thought to herself, "Father, I really had no defense against Jiang Shuyan, which is why I was persecuted to death by him in my previous life."

Thinking of this, Bai Zhiyuan frowned and slowly walked to her father, "Father, do you think your daughter is targeting the Jiang family because of the broken engagement? It may not be that father knows a person's face but not his heart."

Bai Tingxuan's eyes were filled with even more anger: "How dare you. Jiang Shuyan is still your father's subordinate and your elder, someone who has been with me through thick and thin. I won't allow you to slander him like this."

Bai Zhiyuan knew that his father was a sentimental person, especially when it came to those who had fought on the battlefield with him and had given their lives to each other countless times. His father had never doubted Jiang Shuyan's sincerity, but this time, he was afraid that his father would be disappointed.

Thinking of this, Bai Zhiyuan raised his head, met his father's angry eyes and said, "Father, when Chang receives letters from the army, will he use his own secret seal?"

Bai Tingxuan seemed to have not expected her to ask this question suddenly. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you know?"

Bai Zhiyuan replied: "Father, don't worry about where I heard it, just tell me, is it true or not?"

Bai Tingxuan looked at his daughter quietly, but he could not see anything from her face, so he could only say, "Yes."

Bai Zhiyuan asked again, "Are your father's secret seal and the military correspondence all hidden in the secret compartment of the study, and are you the only one who knows about this secret compartment?"

Bai Tingxuan was startled, his eyes full of doubt, and asked, "How did Ayuan know?"

Bai Zhiyuan said calmly: "It seems to be true."

Bai Zhiyuan knew all this because the letters of his father's treasonous behavior in his previous life were found in the secret compartment of this study. The handwriting on the letters was all from his father, and the secret seal was also his father's. Naturally, his father had no way of defending himself, and Lingcang was finally imprisoned.

Bai Zhiyuan closed his eyes and turned his gaze towards the secret compartment. He slowly moved over, raised his hand, lifted up a portrait, then twisted the inkstone on the table, and the secret compartment opened.

Bai Tingxuan, who was standing aside, had already stood there in a daze, looking at Bai Zhiyuan stiffly.

Bai Zhiyuan took out the letters from the secret compartment and found those letters of treason in the interlayer. Bai Zhiyuan then breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Zhiyuan took the letter to Bai Tingxuan.

Bai Tingxuan slowly picked it up and read it through. His heart was beating violently and his eyes were full of disbelief. After a while, he found his voice and said, "What's going on? This letter was not written by me, so why is it in my study?"

Bai Zhiyuan frowned, his face angry: "Father, don't you know? Who came to your study today? Who transferred you away? Only then did they have the opportunity to put this letter that determines the life and death of our Bai family here. Father, do you still not believe it in your heart?"

Bai Tingxuan's eyes were empty and he stood there in a daze, his knuckles holding the letter turning white. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "But how did he know that my secret compartment was here? Could it be someone else..."

"Father," Bai Zhiyuan said sternly, "Where is your decisiveness during the war? If you don't believe me, you can go and interrogate Nanny Sun, and everything will come out. But right now, Jiang Shuyan will definitely stir up trouble at the court tomorrow morning. The emperor has always been very suspicious and will definitely send people to search the mansion. With this letter and Jiang Shuyan's accusation, do you think we still have a chance to turn things around?"

Bai Tingxuan was sweating profusely and was terrified. He felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His entire body was enveloped in the cold, penetrating his skin.

At this time, Bai Zhiyuan walked up to him and held his hand, and Bai Tingxuan felt a hint of warmth.

Bai Zhiyuan spoke softly, "Father, I know you must be in great turmoil right now, but we don't have time. Once this matter comes out at the court tomorrow morning, our Bai family will be doomed. Father, you must make up your mind as soon as possible and think of a plan to deal with it."

After a while, Bai Tingxuan suppressed his anger and calmed down. Looking at his worried daughter, he felt extremely distressed. He was really useless and didn't know how to judge people. He made his daughter worried and frightened, and finally asked his daughter to make plans for him.

Thinking of this, Bai Tingxuan said in a deep voice: "What do you think we should do now, Ayuan?"

Bai Zhiyuan felt relieved when she heard this, and said with a smile: "My daughter thinks that father should do this..."
