The person Wei Cheyu hated most in his previous life was not the opponents who fought openly and secretly with him in the court, nor the traitors who oppressed and framed him when he was at the bottom of the harem, nor the subordinates who betrayed and murdered him.
It was the kidnapper who abducted him from his hometown and plunged him into the darkest abyss of the world.
Many times Wei Cheyu would wonder if without that kidnapper, he wouldn't have experienced so many disgusting and filthy things, and wouldn't have become so moody and psychologically distorted.
He once thought that maybe even if he was sold to a wealthy family as a servant, he could get married and have children and continue the family line, and then he wouldn't have to endure so many disgusting things and see all the disgusting things about women in the world.
So he hated the person who destroyed all his hopes and the kidnapper who put him in the abyss of darkness.
In the last life, when Wei Cheyu wielded power as a eunuch, he sent countless people to search for the kidnapper, but nothing was found. I don't know whether it was because the kidnapper was no longer alive, or because he was hiding too deep. Not coming out.
Because of his hatred, Wei Cheyu never forgot the other person's face, let alone the most obvious mark on that person's face, a mole under the corner of his mouth.
Suddenly, he saw the person he had been searching for in his previous life to no avail appeared in front of him, and saw that person and Wei Dagen hiding in the jungle chatting.
In an instant, many thoughts melted into Wei Cheyu's mind, including some possibilities that he had never thought of before.
Wei Cheyu had never associated his abduction with the Wei family, let alone Wei Dagen.
He always thought that his abduction was an accident rather than a well-planned conspiracy.
However, the scene in front of him told him that this might not be an accident...
Does Wei Cheyu hate Wei Dagen?
The answer is yes.
When he came back from rebirth and found out that his parents' accidental death was related to Wei Dagen, the hatred had always been hidden in his heart, but he never showed it.
For Wei Cheyu, who was accustomed to using various underhanded methods, killing Wei Dagen was easy, but he felt that it would be too advantageous for the other party and let the other party die without pain.
What he wants is for Wei Dagen to live worse than death.
He wanted Wei Dagen to lose everything while he was alive, and to live through the pain of gaining and losing again. He wanted Wei Dagen's reputation to be disgraced, and he wanted him to die with a notorious reputation.
Therefore, Wei Cheyu never became angry when facing Wei Dagen even after his parents escaped death, because in his heart, Wei Dagen was destined to die with a ruined reputation.
So even if he is content with his current life, he still has to take the imperial examination because he wants power and Wei Dagen. Even if Wei Dagen's evil deeds are exposed, the Wei family and clan will not dare to help conceal it.
No……
Wei Cheyu suddenly thought of another possibility...
Maybe the death of Father Wei and Mother Wei in his previous life was not an accident...
His teeth creaked as he bit them, and his pupils stared angrily ahead as if they were about to pop out. His facial features were distorted, and his face was horribly gloomy.
When Wei Zhenzhen saw Wei Cheyu with such exposed emotions and distorted expression, she felt a little uneasy and frightened. She felt that there seemed to be something that would never come back.
She raised her eyes and looked at the other person cautiously, wanting to call softly, but her instinct to avoid danger made her finally swallow the words in her throat, making no sound, silently lowering her presence, and staying quietly aside.
Suddenly, the body she was guarding silently fell down suddenly, and Wei Zhenzhen was shocked. However, she subconsciously felt that she could not scream or scare the people in the jungle, so she quickly stepped forward to catch Wei Cheyu.
His eyes were closed tightly, his whole body was shaking, and the veins on his forehead appeared as if they were about to explode.
This situation was very wrong. Wei Zhenzhen immediately picked up Wei Cheyu and walked back, running as fast as possible back to Master Hong's house.
The wooden door banged loudly. Hearing Wei Zhenzhen's shout, Master Hong opened the door in confusion: "Why are you back?"
Seeing Wei Zhenzhen carrying Wei Cheyu on her back, he was immediately shocked: "What happened?"
"Brother Yuzi fainted for no reason," Wei Zhenzhen asked anxiously but methodically, "Master, where is the doctor in the village?"
"follow me."
The doctor was not far from Mrs. Hong's home, and Wei Zhenzhen arrived in a short while carrying Wei Cheyu on her back.
After checking his pulse, the doctor concluded that he was suffering from shortness of breath, but that he was not seriously injured.
Hearing this, Master Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and then he had the time to ask: "What happened on your way? Why is Brother Yu so angry?"
Hearing this question, for some reason, Wei Zhenzhen subconsciously chose to hide the person she saw on the road. She looked guilty, lowered her head and replied in a low voice: "It's all my fault. I didn't speak well...that's why I made Brother Yuzi angry."
Master Hong wondered: "What did you say?"
In Master Hong's heart, Wei Cheyu is gentle and generous, while Wei Zhenzhen is smart and well-behaved. The two always stay together, and their relationship seems to be very good. They don't look like people who would have big conflicts or even make each other angry.
"I..." Wei Zhenzhen couldn't help but stammered, "I told Brother Yuzi that I didn't want to follow him to the county seat. It felt like too much trouble and hard work. He might think that I wasn't loyal enough, so he was disappointed and angry... But in fact, I just wanted to do it for him. The family saves money. If I don’t go with you, there will be more money left over for travel expenses, and Yuko can enjoy it more during the exam without having to work so hard..."
In the blink of an eye, Wei Zhenzhen came up with a reason, which sounded very reliable, so Master Hong did not doubt it, but expressed emotion about the relationship between the two brothers and sisters.
"You are a good child, and so is Brother Yu." But no matter what, it is true that Wei Zhenzhen fainted Wei Cheyu. Mrs. Hong was afraid that she would be blamed by Wei's father and Wei's mother, so she arranged, "You guys will be with me tonight Sleep at home, and don’t let your parents know about Brother Yu’s passing out of anger, so as not to worry them.”
"...Okay, then I will go back and inform my parents that we will stay at your house tonight, Master, and then I will come back."
"Well, tell them that I stayed with Brother Yu one night and wanted to discuss the scientific examination with him all night."
Wei Zhenzhen nodded and left quickly.
After she left, Mrs. Hong stayed in the house guarding Wei Cheyu. She originally thought that Wei Cheyu would be in a coma before waking up at night. Unexpectedly, he woke up not long after Wei Zhenzhen left.
"Are you awake?" Master Hong asked happily, pouring a glass of water from the teapot and passing it over, "Take a sip of water first."
"Master?!" Wei Cheyu stood up and rubbed his forehead. When the dull feeling in his head dissipated, he said softly, "Why am I here?"
He obviously...
Wei Cheyu lowered his head to block the coldness and depth in his eyes.
"Ah Zheng carried you here, so don't be angry with Ah Zheng," Master Hong didn't want to damage the relationship between their brother and sister because of the misunderstanding, so he explained, "It's not really that Ah Zheng didn't want to accompany you because he was afraid of being tired. You rush for the exam, but because you want to save money so that you can have more expenses, so that you don’t have to work so hard when you are rushing for the exam, and you don’t have to scrimp on food and clothing, or live in a bad inn just to save money.”
"She... told you this, Master..." Wei Cheyu looked down at the blanket covering him, stroking it with his slender white fingers, and said hoarsely: "I... the reason why I fainted..."
Master Hong was surprised: "Isn't it?"
"No..." Wei Cheyu raised his eyes and smiled lightly, with no trace of strangeness in his expression. He was as gentle as usual, "That's it..."
"I thought Azheng..." Master Hong smiled, feeling that he was overthinking, shook his head and continued to smooth things over, "Brother Yu, don't blame Azheng anyway, he is doing it for your own good."
"No, I don't blame her," Wei Cheyu's black eyes lingered with a hint of mist, and he replied softly, "I know she is fine..."
Master Hong nodded with confidence.
After Wei Zhenzhen came back, Master Hong gave up the room so that the brother and sister could have an in-depth talk and resolve the misunderstanding without affecting the relationship between the brother and sister.
But in fact, Wei Zhenzhen and Wei Cheyu had no misunderstanding at all, and they were not biological brothers and sisters. It was just that Master Hong didn't know this at all, so he told Wei Zhenzhen to take good care of Wei Cheyu and left the room.
Quiet……
Deadly quiet...
The room was so quiet that it seemed like you could even hear the other person's breathing...
Wei Zhenzhen looked down at her toes and remained silent, resolutely sticking to the role on the background board to the end.
"Are they still there?"
A gloomy voice suddenly sounded in the room, and the question had no beginning or end. However, Wei Zhenzhen understood what the other party meant, but she still did not raise her head, staring at her toes and replied: "It's gone..."
Then the room fell silent again.
The next day, Wei Cheyu and Wei Zhenzhen said goodbye to Master Hong and returned home. Wei's father and mother did not notice anything was wrong, so they greeted them and went their separate ways.
At that time, Wei Cheyu's abnormality seemed to be just an illusion. The people he saw in the jungle seemed to have no impact on him. He was still so gentle and polite to the outside world, and the smile never disappeared from his face. Nothing seemed to have changed...
But Wei Cheyu went out more often.
Wei's father and Wei's mother did not raise any suspicion. They thought that they would be away from the village for more than a month, so Wei Cheyu wanted to take a look around.
Wei Zhenzhen followed Wei Cheyu out, but Wei Cheyu did not stop her from following her and turned a blind eye.
Sometimes when I go out, I will meet Hua Xiaomei. When she sees them, she will take the initiative to ask to go with them, chatting with them along the way, "Hey, Brother Yuko, why do you like walking around so much now? Will you never come back again?" Are you in the village?"
Hua Xiaomei also heard the news that Wei Cheyu's family was going to the county town for a month, "Can it be that Huahua will never see you again?"
"no……"
Wei Cheyu was now extremely patient with Hua Xiaomei. He looked at her and smiled gently, extremely charmingly and seductively, "By the way, Huahua, do you often hang out around the village?"
"No," Hua Xiaomei said with a shy look, "How could I be so playful when I hang out all the time? I just run errands for my family. I am very virtuous and hardworking."
"..." Wei Cheyu's expression did not change and he continued softly, "Well, I know Huahua is great and you are very good with the people in the village."
"Hey, Brother Yuko, don't praise me like that, I'll be shy."
"..." Wei Cheyu's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to talk casually, "By the way, have you met my uncle, uncle, and aunt in the village?"
"I have touched them, but rarely. What's the matter?" Hua Xiaomei was suspicious, "Why did Brother Yuzi suddenly ask about them?"
Wei Cheyu was calm and composed: "Because every time I go back to my grandmother's house, I don't see them at home, and I wonder where they went to play."
"Oh oh oh," Hua Xiaomei tried to recall, "Your sister-in-law has a good sister who is from our village. They often play in the flowers, and your brother-in-law often runs to town. I'm very worried." I rarely see him, but as for your uncle... I often see him in the village."
"Is he always alone?"
"Yes, I often see him talking to himself in front of a book."
"That's it..." Wei Cheyu murmured, "By the way, Huahua, have you ever seen a person with a mole under the corner of his mouth?"
Hua Xiaomei thought hard, "No, I don't remember it, what's the matter?"
"No, I seem to often see my uncle playing with this person, so I want to know who it is..."
"Then let me help Brother Yuko keep an eye on it."
Wei Cheyu smiled brilliantly: "Okay, thank you Huahua."
"You're welcome, I'm very happy to be able to help Brother Yuko," Hua Xiaomei replied shyly.
As if she was afraid that the other party would think she was not reserved, Hua Xiaomei said a few words of ambiguous admiration and then turned to talk to Wei Zhenzhen, "By the way, Zhenzhen, do you want to go to the county town with us?"
Wei Zhenzhen nodded.
Hua Xiaomei couldn't help but speak sourly: "Zhen Zhen, you are so lucky. You can go to the county town with us. I have never been to the county town in my whole life. I heard that a trip there is very expensive."
Wei Zhenzhen was silent.
"Aunt Wei was worried that you were alone at home, so she took you to the county town with her, right?" Hua Xiaomei inquired, "Actually, Zhenzhen, you can come and stay at our house for a month, so that Brother Yuzi and his family don't have to spend so much money. ."
Wei Zhenzhen remained unmoved and silent.
Hua Xiaomei persisted in encouraging: "Perhaps Zhen Zhen, you can take the initiative to suggest this to Aunt Wei. This will make you more filial."
This time Wei Zhenzhen finally moved. Hua Xiaomei was overjoyed when she saw Wei Zhenzhen raised her eyes and looked at Wei Cheyu and said, "Brother Yuzi, it's getting late, it's time to go home."
Hua Xiaomei: "..."
Wei Cheyu nodded, "I understand."
Hua Xiaomei couldn't help but curse angrily in her heart, but when she thought of Wei Cheyu's presence, she remained polite and courteous on the outside, maintaining the posture of a virtuous woman.
Unknowingly, the three of them walked into the sparsely populated wilderness, but because their companions were there, no one felt that there was any danger.
Wei Zhenzhen is used to walking behind Wei Cheyu, so that she can keep an eye on him better and deal with various emergencies.
She silently looked at the two people in front of her, as quiet as ever.
Suddenly, a pulling force came from behind. Wei Zhenzhen had no time to react. Her mouth and nose were suddenly covered by a piece of cloth, and her whole body went limp. She only had time to make a warning sound, and her vision went dark——
No idea what happened anymore.
