Chapter 1101 Birth Mother
It must be said that Feng Tianyu was very clear about the weaknesses of the person in front of him.
Wu was originally a puppet, but because of Wu Yequan, he gained a human heart.
Having survived for a thousand years, he naturally possessed a subtle sense of superiority. He didn't even take people like Ye Wanxi seriously, let alone ordinary people who couldn't even kill a chicken.
Falling into the hands of these people, at their mercy, is undoubtedly a form of torture for Wu.
Of course, he was more concerned about Feng Tianyu's last words. Even though reason told him that it was impossible, his heart still clenched unconsciously, and his gaze toward Feng Tianyu became increasingly cold and ruthless.
Feng Tianyu saw the change in his expression and his frustration dissipated somewhat.
"I can give you the person, but before that..."
Suddenly, a dark chain flew out from Feng Tianyu's hand and bound the person tightly.
"Relying solely on the second brother's dark room might not be enough to ensure safety. Let's take the Soul-Locking Chain with us as well. Anyway, all you want to study is his blood; you don't need him to cooperate much. Whether he's sitting, lying down, or standing shouldn't matter, right?"
Qi Yao's eyes brightened slightly, and she chuckled, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's best for him to be like this. Such a dangerous person, if he's not tied up tightly, I'm afraid he might suddenly attack and hurt someone. Lying like this is how a qualified tool is."
As for the wishes of this "qualified" tool, they were clearly not within the scope of everyone's consideration.
After handing the person over to Qi Yao, Feng Tianyu added, "Remember to have Xiao Jihui reimburse you for the Soul-Locking Chain and the Second Brother's Little Black Room."
Everyone: "..." You've been taken advantage of by Xiao Jihui so many times that you've even figured out some experience, right?
Wu was taken away by Qi Yao and the others, while Ye Wanxi and the other two personally escorted the child back to the orphanage.
Fortunately, Wu didn't take the little guy seriously at all, and knew that the little guy had a heart condition and was very fragile.
Although I never intended for him to live from the beginning, I was worried that the little guy would die before Ye Wanxi was even lured out, thus rendering him useless.
Therefore, apart from using a little trick to get him to sleep when he was really crying and making a fuss, I didn't do anything else.
When the little guy was sent back to the orphanage, he just looked a little tired and haggard, but he would recover after a rest.
This relieved Aunt Meng greatly. She pulled Ye Wanxi and the other girl aside and asked them carefully what had happened. Afterwards, she fussed over them, offering words of comfort and advice for a while before letting them leave.
After leaving the orphanage, Ye Wanxi took Feng Tianyu home directly.
Gao Min was taken aback when she saw Ye Wanxi leading people home. Seeing her serious expression, she didn't ask anything and even took Qiu Yuerong and the little ones away, giving the two of them plenty of space to talk alone.
As soon as the door closed, Ye Wanxi looked up at Feng Tianyu and said bluntly, "Everyone's gone, we can talk now."
Feng Tianyu had already sensed something was wrong from Ye Wanxi's expression all the way here, and now hearing her words, his heart jumped into his throat.
"say what?"
"Tell me what exactly happened? Why could my blood bring Wu Yequan back to life? Why did Wu say that I was born with what he longed for? That portrait brought out of the emperor's tomb, it wasn't actually of me, was it? What is my relationship with Wu Yequan?"
Feng Tianyu managed to remain calm during the first few questions, but his expression completely changed when he heard the last one.
"It's okay, you have nothing to do with him!"
Anyone could tell how much gritted his teeth were when Feng Tianyu said those words.
As soon as these words were spoken, a subtle silence fell over the room.
Ye Wanxi stared at Feng Tianyu for a long time before pursing her lips and whispering, "You said you would never lie to me, no matter when or what."
That short sentence was like a sharp sword, swiftly and accurately striking Feng Tianyu's fatal weakness, leaving him utterly powerless to retaliate.
"I……"
Before Feng Tianyu could finish speaking, Ye Wanxi interrupted him: "I know you want to protect me and don't want me to be sad or hurt. But things have come to this point, and even if you don't tell me, I can't pretend I don't know anything and be indifferent to everything anymore. Rather than letting me overthink things on my own, you might as well tell me yourself."
"Don't worry, no matter how outrageous the truth is, I can accept it. I just want to know what really happened. I don't want to be caught up in this situation and know nothing, like a fool who's been fooled."
Upon hearing her words, Feng Tianyu hurriedly explained, "We never intended to deceive you, much less treat you like a fool."
"We?" Ye Wanxi raised an eyebrow. "So, besides you, there are other people who know? Master or Second Senior Brother? Or do they all know?"
Feng Tianyu: "..." Sometimes being too perceptive and too clever is not a good thing.
"...The third brother knows a little." With the idea of sacrificing his friend rather than himself, Feng Tianyu shamelessly betrayed Jun Wuduan first.
Jun Wuduan, who was helping Qi Yao transport Wu to a special department at that moment, exclaimed, "Achoo!"
"Third Senior Brother?" Ye Wanxi was somewhat surprised, then a thought flashed through her mind and she exclaimed, "It's that Emperor's Tomb!"
The owner of that imperial tomb was Jun Wuduan's cousin, and the portrait that looked very much like her, yet was not her, came from the secondary coffin in the main chamber of the imperial tomb.
In this way, it makes sense that Jun Wuduan was one of the people in the know.
"So, what is the truth? Who is the person in that portrait? What is my relationship with her and with Wu Yequan?"
Feng Tianyu met Ye Wanxi's gaze, remained silent for a long time, and finally organized his thoughts before choosing to be honest.
"You're so smart, you should have already guessed it. The woman in that painting who looks so much like you is your biological mother."
Even though she was mentally prepared, Ye Wanxi's mind still went blank for a moment when she heard Feng Tianyu's words: "My...biological mother?"
Her birth mother, someone who had never been a part of her life, whether in this life or a past one, suddenly appeared before her without any warning.
Ye Wanxi was suddenly filled with countless questions. Who exactly was her birth mother? Since her portrait appeared in the secondary coffin of the emperor's tomb, it meant that she must be the white moonlight of her uncle Jun Wuduan.
How did she get involved with Jun Wuduan's cousin? Why did she abandon him back then? Where did she go after abandoning him?
Most importantly, what is her relationship with Wu Yequan? Who did she have a relationship with? And is this person related to Wu Yequan?
