In their previous lives, Su Yin, her mother, and her sister-in-law were brutally mu*dered by a mob. In a twist of fate, all three were reborn together.
Before the mob could reach their villag...
Su Xiaoyong groaned in pain and hunched his body in agony, just like a cooked shrimp.
"If you don't let me go, I will never tell you even if you kill me." Su Xiaoyong was hoping for a lucky break, but his little trick could not escape the eyes of the two siblings.
Su Xinguang directly brought a box, carried Su Xiaoyong to the front of the box, opened the box, and saw densely packed poisonous insects, snakes and scorpions inside.
"It seems that uncle wants to spend his life with these little cuties."
"W-what do you want to do?"
Su Xinguang grabbed a poisonous snake and brought it in front of Su Xiaoyong. Su Xiaoyong was so scared that his face turned pale. He saw the poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, as if it would bite his nose in the next second.
"Uncle, do you think it's better for me to let this snake enter from your mouth or from your lower head?"
"You..." Su Xiaoyong stared with his eyes wide open. He couldn't imagine that such vicious words would come out of Su Xinguang's mouth.
"I'll give you two choices. Answer honestly. Otherwise, let us little cuties keep you company, uncle."
As he spoke, Su Xinguang maliciously moved the snake closer to him, frightening Su Xiaoyong so much that he screamed, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you."
Su Xinguang let go of his hand and played with the poisonous snake, staring at him with cold eyes, which were more vicious than the poisonous snake and made him shudder.
"My mother was pregnant with my third child. On the way to visit relatives with my father, she suddenly went into labor. At that time, there was no village or shop nearby. With no other options, my mother gave birth to the child under a tree. Not long after the child was born, the child died. They simply threw the child into the woods. (True story)"
"On the way back, they met a woman. My mother said she was covered in blood and holding a child in her arms. The woman gave them one hundred silver coins and asked them to take in Lao San, your father."
"For the sake of the 100 taels of silver and the fact that their own child was gone, they simply took your father as the third child. When the villagers saw them bringing back a bloody child, no one doubted it."
Su Yin and her brother have a general idea of what happened back then, and today they know what happened so clearly.
"Did they say what the woman looked like? Anything strange about her? What was her accent?"
Su Xiaoyong shook his head. "I don't know either. I overheard this incident under the window. I don't know any more details."
"I have told you everything I know. Can you please let me go? I am your uncle after all. Please let me go for the sake of our relationship over the years."
Su Xiaoyong began to play the emotional card, trying to awaken the little family affection between them.
"Uncle, don't worry, we won't let you die. I have prepared a lot of fun toys for you a long time ago, you will definitely like them." Su Xinguang smiled brightly, revealing his white teeth.
Su Xiaoyong felt inexplicably frightened, "Who are you? Our Xinguang is not like this."
"We are ghosts! Are you scared?" Su Xinguang was teasing him in a rare good mood.
Su Xiaoyong was choked.
Pain occupied his mind, but he soon began to ponder why they had changed so much, why they could take him away from Prince Wu's Mansion without anyone noticing, why on earth was that?
Su Xiaoyong couldn't understand.
"Now let me ask you my second question."
"Tell me about your memories from your previous life."
Su Xiaoyong's eyes opened wide, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. A flash of inspiration came into his mind, and at this moment he understood the reason for all the things he couldn't understand.
He finally understood why the two things he predicted went in different directions. It turned out that they were the ones causing trouble.
"You, you guys have it too!"
"Uncle is so smart! It's a pity there is no reward." Su Xinguang replied with a smile, with a strong malice in his laughter.
"Don't just be shocked. Tell me about your memories of your past life."
Su Xiaoyong's mind hadn't yet come to its senses, and he spoke subconsciously, "My memories of my previous life are not the same as yours, so what's there to say?"
Su Xiaoyong gets angry whenever he mentions how miserable his family was in their previous life.
"Just speak when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Su Xinguang slapped him on the head and shouted, "Speak! If you don't, you'll die!"
The secret belonging to the Su family was told. As for the things in his previous life, he resisted for a few times, but soon compromised.
Su Xiaoyong began to recount the events of his previous life. "When the mob came, our family escaped successfully, but we didn't have much with us... One day, your sister accidentally hit her head while fighting for food with someone, and was unconscious for the whole day."
"The two old people wanted to abandon her, but your parents disagreed. They wanted to take the burden with them even if they split up the family. At that time, everyone was counting on your father to do some rough work, so they gave him a plan. If she didn't wake up the next day, they would have to give up."
"Fortunately, your sister woke up the next day. After waking up, she became smarter and even knew a lot of strange things."
"Everyone relies on her to avoid many dangers..."
If the brother and sister heard something that didn't seem right, they would beat him up.
Su Xiaoyong did not dare to put the blame on the old couple or the second branch of the Su family for what he had done.
After being beaten several times like this, Su Xiaoyong knew that he could not deceive these two cunning girls and boys, so he could only tell the truth.
The more he spoke, the less confident he became, because he knew that many of the things his family did were disliked.
He didn't think much of it before, nor did he think he had done anything wrong, but now facing this situation, he finally realized how bad his behavior was.
This kind of cognition is based on an unequal relationship between the two parties. Whenever he sees that he can take the money from his elders, he will never feel that he is wrong.
"After arriving in Shangjing City, Yin Yatou invented soap and floral water... Fuxing Commercial Bank became bigger and bigger... She invented the plague prescription and was given the title of county lady..."
"Later, my whole family was thrown into prison and executed in the autumn. I don't know what happened after that."
Su Yin understood the previous life he mentioned, and it was almost exactly what she had guessed.
"Tell me, how did you enter the King of Wu's palace? What did you say to the King of Wu?"
Su Xiaoyong honestly explained the whole story, how he fooled King Wu, and mentioned several important things in his previous life.
By the time he has finished explaining, any useful value he has will be gone.
Su Yin looked at Su Xiaoyong, who was covered in dirt, and knew how much his brother hated him. He stood up and patted his brother on the shoulder, "Don't let him die too quickly."
