"I...this is not what I want..."
Lifting his head feebly, Zhu Run just looked at Pei Wende with tears in his eyes, but did not defend himself too much.
"That's all! I'm not interested in your family affairs."
Seeing Zhu Run's sad expression, Pei Wende, who originally said "hurtful words" just to test the other party, sighed.
He could feel the contradiction in Zhu Run's heart, and no one could hide his emotional fluctuations in front of Pei Wende, who had mastered his telepathy.
"I came here just to look for your missing daughter at the request of your cook."
When he said this, Pei Wende's tone paused slightly, and then he selectively skipped this topic.
"What do you want to tell me about your daughter's disappearance?"
Now that it has been determined that there are some errors in the information provided by Aunt Zhu, Pei Wende naturally wants to know the true situation of the Zhu family.
At the very least, the statement that "Zhu Yi Niang was abducted by the pig demon" has no credibility.
"Actually... things are not as the fifth sister imagined."
He hesitated to speak and opened his mouth. Zhu Run silently wiped away her tears and whispered.
"I suspect that the widow actually ran away from home on her own."
It has to be said that Zhu Run's remarks did catch Pei Wende a little off guard.
Because he has thought about ten thousand possibilities, but he has never thought about the possibility that the missing person disappeared on his own initiative.
But this can explain why Zhu Run and his wife were so calm about Aunt Zhu's disappearance.
"Where do you start talking about this?"
Unable to help but ask more questions, Pei Wende discovered that this little Zhu family really had a lot of hidden secrets.
"To be honest, Zen Master, all this is actually related to my little girl's life experience."
"Because the widowed mother is not actually my biological daughter, but the adopted daughter adopted by the Zhu family."
Looking at Pei Wende with a surprised look on his face, Zhu Run just lowered his voice as much as possible, but spoke without any concealment.
"Since Zen Master already knows that my husband is not a human being, he should naturally know that he will definitely not be able to continue the Zhu family's legacy."
"My father has quarreled with us more than once over this matter."
Zhao Yanwei is just the son-in-law of the Zhu family, and his status in the Zhu family may even be lower than that of some servants.
Especially when the Zhu family was still in decline, the old man of the Zhu family even suggested that Zhu Run should have a good face to continue the Zhu family's reputation.
This absurd proposal naturally attracted strong opposition from Zhu Run.
Although Zhu Run is not as strong as her sister Zhu Han, she is not the kind of temperament that can be manipulated by others.
Because after Zhao Yanwei married into Zhu's family, he didn't mind at all that he was "cheated into marriage". Instead, he was a bit disrespectful to Zhu Runhao.
Before he was officially involved in the substitute examination case and was demoted, Zhao Yanwei was even able to travel thousands of miles from Chang'an back to Runzhou to celebrate Zhu Run's birthday.
You know, this era is different from China in the 21st century.
Such a long journey is like stepping into the gate of hell with half a foot. Even if Zhao Yanwei's true form is a pig demon, the difficulty cannot be described in words.
So even if he later learned about Zhao Yanwei's true identity, Zhu Run never thought of giving up on her husband.
It was under such circumstances that the eldest daughter, Aunt Zhu, was taken back to the Zhu family by Zhao Yanwei, and then naturally became the adopted daughter of the Zhu family.

"Zhu Yi Niang is also a monster?"
After silently listening to Zhu Run's story, Pei Wende suddenly had such a question in his heart.
It seems that it is not impossible for the adopted daughter who was brought back by Zhao Yanwei to be a monster.
However, Zhu Run's next words denied Pei Wende's speculation.
"The widow is a human being, not a monster."
Zhu Run shook his head slightly to express his denial. Zhu Run was obviously very convinced of this.
As the "mother" who raised the baby girl little by little, no one knows better than Zhu Run whether Zhu Yiniang is a human or a monster.
"Then what happened in the end? What made Zhu Yiniang decide to run away from home?"
Regardless of the truthfulness of Zhu Run's words, what Pei Wende wants to know now is what happened to Zhu Yi Niang.
What was the reason that made Zhu Run think that Zhu Yiniang's disappearance was a runaway from home that she directed and acted on her own?
"It all started with the Nandu embankment burst two years ago..."
After trying his best to calm down the sadness in his heart, Zhu Run adjusted his mentality slightly and continued talking.
Two years ago, when he took office as the governor of Runzhou and forcibly opened Longjing, the impact was far beyond the natural and man-made disasters that Pei Wende had seen.
When the nearby river branch was polluted by the resentment of the real dragon, and hundreds of demons took advantage of the chaos to sneak into Runzhou City, trouble began to emerge.
One time, in order to protect his family, wife and children, Zhao Yanwei had to face the enemy with his real body, but his identity as a pig demon was accidentally revealed by Zhu Yiniang.
Since then, Zhu Yiniang has had deep doubts about her life experience.
When the demon disaster broke out and the demon hunters from Qintian Prison rushed to Runzhou, Zhao Yanwei became a victim again because of his identity.
If it weren't for the Nandu embankment bursting and the White Snake appearing, it would have attracted most of the attention of the demon hunters.
No matter how strong Zhao Yanwei's hiding ability is, he may not be able to escape the eyes of the former Qin Tianjian, and he will be treated as a demon who wants to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.
This situation continued until Pei Wende drove the white snake into the Yangtze River and completely cleared the Runzhou River.
After finally settling down, the Zhu family finally decided to leave Runzhou City and open up a new home, which led to the formation of today's Zhujiazhuang.
The original prestige of the Zhu family attracted people with the same surname to settle here.
This was originally a move to comfort the old man of the Zhu family, but unexpectedly it led to a series of rumors.
Whether it was Zhao Yanwei's true identity exposed in order to open up land, or the various strange situations of the Zhu family, they all became topics of conversation after dinner in Zhujiazhuang.
Living in this situation for a long time, Zhu Yinu, who had doubts about Zhao Yanwei and her own identity, was inevitably affected.
So during a normal outing, Zhu Run's daughter suddenly disappeared, and it was rumored that it was the pig demon who did it. It's no wonder that Zhu Run thought that she ran away from home.
[Theoretically speaking, there is indeed no problem with this logic. 】
Glancing quietly in the direction of the ancestral temple again, Pei Wende's doubts were not resolved.
[But the question is, why did Zhu Yiniang, who ran away from home, repeatedly propose "redemption conditions" to the Zhu family? 】
