"..."
Staring at Pei Wende in silence, the aunt never expected that the other party would see through her true identity at a glance.
Especially with that understatement just now, the aunt felt that the bottleneck that had been bothering her for a long time seemed to be breaking through.
This shows from the side that the Zen Master Fahai of Jinshan Temple is not only extremely wise and powerful, but also has attainments beyond ordinary people in swordsmanship.
"Tell the truth!"
Looking at the aunt with tears on her face but overwhelmed by embarrassment, Pei Wende finally sighed.
Since starting to practice his mind reading, although Pei Wende cannot truly read minds, it is not difficult to sense the emotions of others.
Therefore, during the previous conversation, Pei Wende could feel that what happened to the young lady of the Zhu family was true, and the aunt's concern for the young lady of the Zhu family was also genuine.
The only thing that confused Pei Wende was that the aunt seemed to have deliberately concealed some more critical information.
"Tell me everything you are hiding, so that I can better help you save the Zhu family's young lady."
Hearing this, the aunt could only lower her head in shame.
Because the meaning of Pei Wende's words was already obvious. He didn't care about the elder lady hiding her skills. He just wanted to know what else was hidden in it?
"The Zen master has a keen eye, but in fact, the little woman has no choice but to hide her skills."
After a slight pause, the aunt no longer dared to look directly at Pei Wende, but lowered her head and explained softly.
"The little woman's original name is Zhu Han, and she is the eldest daughter of the Zhu family."
"Because when I was young, I liked to dance with swords and sticks, but I ran away from marriage and home against my father's orders..."
"It wasn't until she heard that the Zhu family was in great trouble that the young lady concealed her identity and went home to see her old father."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In Aunt Zhu's next narration, Pei Wende and Tu Tu Gong finally figured out where the other party's previous abnormal behavior originated from.
Thirty or forty years ago in Runzhou, the old man of the Zhu family gave birth to twin daughters.
The eldest daughter is named Zhu Han and the younger daughter is named Zhu Run. The two were born only a few breaths apart, but their personalities are completely different.
The youngest daughter Zhu Run has been smart, gentle and virtuous since she was a child. She is the best among her peers in poetry, music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
On the other hand, the eldest daughter Zhu Han is simply the opposite of Zhu Run.
Zhu Han, who has been lively and active since she was a child, has been called the best in Runzhou. Most of the boys her age have been beaten by her.
The remaining ones who haven't been beaten by her are basically like mice that see a cat. They can't even hide, let alone take the initiative to approach her.
In this natural contrast, the two sisters embarked on two completely different paths since childhood.
The youngest daughter Zhu Run is good at dancing and writing, and her calligraphy and painting skills are even famous in Runzhou. Men who want to propose marriage have already crossed the threshold of their family.
The eldest daughter Zhu Han dances with swords and sticks, and her swordsmanship was even praised by Li Twelve Niang, Gongsun's direct disciple, who wanted to take her under her disciple to learn sword dancing.
As a standard feudal patriarch, the old man of the Zhu family naturally would not agree to Li Twelve Niang's request, so he politely refused and refused to let Zhu Han go out again.
Not only that, considering Zhu Han's "prominent reputation" in Runzhou, the old man of the Zhu family arranged a marriage for her first and then later.
The man was the second-best candidate in Runzhou that year, and he only needed to be appointed and dismissed by the court before he could take office.
From the perspective of the old man of the Zhu family, he worked hard for his eldest daughter and gave her almost the best he could do.
However, Zhu Han was a rebellious young man at that time, so he could not understand his father's thoughts.
Therefore, after learning that the old man of the Zhu family had recruited a son-in-law for him, Zhu Han fled Runzhou overnight to pursue the "jianghu" in his mind.
If that were just the case, Zhu Run's behavior could certainly be called "rebellious."
But as long as she admits her mistake and goes home, no matter how cruel the old man of the Zhu family is, he can't leave his daughter outside for more than ten years.
The problem arose the night before Zhu Han left home. She told her sister Zhu Run all about her plan and agreed to let her sister cover for her.
"That stupid girl is really stupid. In order to buy me time, she actually came up with the bad idea of getting married on my behalf!"
It seems that because her disguise was exposed by Pei Wende, Aunt Zhu did not hide her annoyance and gritted teeth when talking about this experience.
When the old man of the Zhu family finally discovered that his eldest daughter had disappeared, Zhu Run had already married the second-placed candidate in place of his sister.
Now that the deal is done, no matter how angry the old man of the Zhu family is, it will be of no use.
In order to preserve the family's reputation, Zhu Run finally hired a son-in-law for his sister, and the Zhu family pretended that they no longer had a daughter named Zhu Han.
After learning all this, Zhu Han couldn't bear to see his sister again, and she wandered around the world for more than ten years.
If it hadn't been for the catastrophe in Runzhou this time, Zhu Han probably wouldn't have returned to the Zhu family as a "cook" just to see his seriously ill father.
However, I don’t know if it’s luck or sadness.
The Zhu family, who had not seen each other for more than ten years, did not recognize Zhu Han's identity at all. Even her father, who loved her most at that time, only regarded her as a homeless little woman.
Fortunately, Zhu Han has been doing his own thing for most of his life, and he doesn't care if his family recognizes him.
Zhu Han, who has superb swordsmanship skills, just lurks in the dark, and then whenever the Zhou family is in danger, he secretly helps them survive the disaster.
It can be said that the Zhu family was able to survive the two-year famine and reopen a field, mostly due to Zhu Han's secret care.
It's a pity that although Zhu Han has always protected the Zhu family, in this era of war and chaos, he still failed to take good care of him.
The daughter of Zhu Han's sister and the young lady of the Zhu family, Zhu Yi Niang, was abducted by the pig demon that suddenly appeared when she went out one time, and that's how everything happened after that.
"In other words, the little lady of the Zhu family who was kidnapped is actually your niece?"
Touching his bald head out of habit, Pei Wende felt that Aunt Zhu's experience for most of her life could be written into a book of ups and downs.
"Yes, Zen Master."
After completely revealing her identity, Aunt Zhu no longer had the weakness she had pretended to be before, but was replaced by a heroic and determined aura.
"The little woman has actually sneaked into the mountains and forests secretly several times, intending to find traces of the pig demon."
"But the pig demon seems to have known my existence for a long time and has been deliberately avoiding me. That's why the little woman wanted to go up the mountain to ask the Zen Master for help."
