After Hua Yu figured everything out, he looked up at Hua Shi again, and there was obviously less hostility in his eyes.

"Then who are you?" He suppressed the confusion on his face and looked at Hua Shi with a strange expression.

"It doesn't matter who I am, you just need to know that I'm not her." Hua Shi said.

The meaning behind his words revealed himself, and he didn't want to reveal his true identity...

"You can treat me as a wandering ghost from nowhere, or a monster transformed from some spirit."

She spoke softly and calmly.

After hearing these words, Hua Yu frowned unconsciously, as if he had really taken these words to heart.

Hua Shi's eyes never left him, and she kept paying attention to the changes in his facial expression.

This incident does sound incredible. It's normal for people to be terrified of things like resurrecting a dead body, given their closed and outdated mindsets...

If these words were to be spread out among the villagers, who didn't understand the situation, they might mistake her for a demon, tie her up and burn her at the stake...

However, without any evidence to support these bizarre and strange words, few people would believe them if they were told to others.

Since she dared to speak out, she was ready to bear the consequences...

Just as she expected, Hua Yu frowned for a moment, then relaxed after a while. When he looked at her again, there was less hatred and hostility in his eyes, and more indifference.

He said, "If that's the case, then from now on, all our grudges are written off." Hua Yu paused, then frowned slightly and said, "What happened today? I didn't know you were not her, so I knocked you unconscious and tied you up..."

When he said this, he suddenly raised his eyes and cast a meaningful look at Hua Shi.

Flowers are silent.

Hua Yu sighed silently in his heart.

If the person in front of me was still the vicious woman from before, I'm afraid I wouldn't have the chance to stand here now...

He knew his own temper very well. He was vindictive. Once he really started to take action, no one, including her, would be able to stand here alive.

Thanks to the changes she had made in recent months, he had softened his heart a little and changed his mind about killing her. Instead, he chose to sell her...

"...I didn't know this before, but I can grant you a request as compensation."

The boy looked at her and spoke seriously.

The pent-up anger in Hua Shi's heart dissipated a little after he saw Hua Yu express his apology in a relatively sincere manner. Then when he heard him say that he was willing to agree to one of his requests...

I lowered my eyes when the flowers bloomed, my thoughts swirling.

She could see that Hua Yu's attitude towards "her" had changed from hatred to indifference after he knew that the original owner had long since died. However, this change was only from hatred to indifference.

If she wanted to take the lead in the Hua family, a household without adults to manage it, and Hua Yu was unwilling to cooperate with her, once a disagreement arose, the relationship would probably only become more strained...

Especially since Hua Yu will be sixteen years old after the New Year. In ancient times, people of this age can get married and have children. Hua Yu naturally has her own ideas and it is impossible for her to agree with everything.

She wanted to lead these brothers and sisters from poverty to a wealthy life, but it was inevitable that she and Hua Yu would have to make compromises...

However, she was a little hesitant to speculate now, because Hua Yu's temper was too cruel. If she couldn't control him and straighten him out, no one knew what he would become.

What Hua Shi needs to do now is to conquer this brat's defenses, gain his trust, convey his correct values, and try his best to straighten out his twisted temperament.

If even after all my efforts, I still can't change it...

Hua Shi pondered for a moment and said, "From now on, in this family, you have to listen to me."

Hua Yu's brows tightened a little, and he was about to refuse without thinking.

He just agreed to a request and didn't want to put himself in danger.

But the words were stuck in his throat when his eyes fell on the majestic white fox following the painter.

She could tame wild beasts in the mountains, and her origins were unknown. Even if he refused her today, he would not be able to defeat her in the future, no matter what he wanted to do...

"…good."

After a long pause, Hua Yu responded in a low voice.

What he is best at is keeping a low profile, avoiding the sharp edge, and when the enemy is least expected, he will secretly repay those who bully him with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.

If the conflict with this person who came out of nowhere...really reached an irreversible point, he would naturally not show any fear.

Hua Yu didn't know that he looked like a vigilant cat at this moment, with a careful look in his eyes, as if he had just arrived in an unfamiliar environment and was observing carefully.

Hua Shi breathed a sigh of relief silently.

It would be the best outcome if Hua Yu could agree...

As for his hidden thoughts, Hua Shi saw through them but had no intention of exposing them.

In fact, the two of them are now more like they are showing off their cards, and are cautiously testing each other and are wary of each other...

"By the way, why do you want to sell me?"

After a conversation, Hua Shi suddenly remembered the question he asked at the beginning.

Compared to his initial rage, Hua Shi's expression now has obviously eased.

Hua Yu glanced at her and seemed to think there was no need to hide anything, so he said without any emotion: "Not selling it? Could it be that he secretly killed you?"
