Chapter 464: The Villain
Sure enough, in the woman's memory, the positions between the two had changed again.
It's true that she felt disgusted by her disfigured husband, and it's also true that she was attracted to her handsome brother-in-law.
However, it wasn't that she actively seduced him; rather, Feng Erlang, knowing that she was interested in him, would intentionally or unintentionally flirt with her.
The relationship between the two was not as innocent as the man remembered. Although there were no explicit scenes in his memory, they did engage in intimate acts such as holding hands, kissing, and hugging.
And most of the time it was the man who took the initiative. Ms. Yue tried to resist at first, but in the end she found that she couldn't resist him and so she reluctantly gave in.
The two were ultimately brutally murdered by Brother Feng, not because they were tipped off or implicated.
Instead, the two conspired to poison Brother Feng and seize the Feng family's property, but their plot was exposed, and they reaped the consequences of their actions.
After reading it, Du Yihuan and the others subconsciously touched their faces, experiencing for the first time the frustration and bitterness of those online commentators who were misled by public opinion, pointing fingers at a matter without knowing the whole story, and then being proven wrong by the truth in the end.
Hiss, it hurts!
Gao Min, the only one who hadn't spoken up earlier, frowned and pondered for a long time after reading all of the two people's memories, and came to a very insightful conclusion.
"My beautiful sister-in-law falls in love with me: An ancient version of Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian?"
Everyone: "..." You're a real talent!
"Pfft..." Ye Wanxi finally couldn't help but laugh out loud when she heard her summary.
Having learned from their previous experience, the group dared not draw any conclusions easily, and stared intently at Ye Wanxi, hoping she could give them a definite answer.
But after reviewing their memories, the truth isn't hard to guess.
There was seduction, there was flirting, both parties were interested, and neither had pure intentions.
Of course, besides the impure emotions and desires, there are also impure interests.
Take the case of the two conspiring to poison Brother Feng. It seems that Feng Erlang wanted to use the woman to seize the family property for himself, but in fact, Miss Yue's motives for marrying into the Feng family were impure from the beginning.
The real reason for poisoning Brother Feng was to get a share of the Feng family's assets.
After hearing this, everyone present was even more astonished and amazed than before: "So some people can really deceive themselves to this extent?"
They are clearly selfish and hypocritical, engaging in illicit affairs, yet in the end they shift all the blame onto others, while portraying themselves as innocent and pure, like a white lotus flower emerging from the mud unsullied.
Therefore, one can even alter their own memories at will, making it even more useful than the intermittent amnesia depicted in TV dramas!
Upon hearing this, Ye Wanxi glanced at the group and said with a faint smile, "Hypocritical people, how can you deceive others if you can't deceive yourself first?"
Bad people never think of themselves as bad people. Just like Feng Erlang, who prides himself on being a romantic, he attributes his purposeful seduction to Miss Yue's seduction, and then imagines himself as a noble person who is not influenced by worldly desires and whose actions are completely reasonable.
Take Miss Yue for example. She clearly judged people by their appearance and disregarded years of friendship, refusing to marry. Yet, she couldn't bear to give up the wealth and status of the Feng family. So, she created a weak image for herself, portraying herself as someone forced to marry into the Feng family for the sake of her own family, suffering hardship, and having no choice as a woman.
When they encounter so-called "true love," they can be at ease being with him, even to the point of poisoning the husband they have demonized.
To put it bluntly, both of them are hypocrites who pretend to be virtuous while engaging in prostitution, typical examples of despicable people who try to have their cake and eat it too.
Only by deceiving and fooling oneself can one feel at ease blaming others for all the bad things that have happened to them.
Even if he ultimately died in the wrong, the resentment, hatred, and unwillingness in his heart never dissipated, permeating the entire painting and becoming a knife in the hands of others.
Everyone agreed with Ye Wanxi's words and felt no sympathy for the two remnants of souls in the painting. They felt that the two deserved their fate.
Especially after hearing Ye Wanxi's second sentence: "Their initial target should have been Xiaoxiao."
The Zhang family members' expressions changed drastically, and Zhang Xiaoxiao was even more bewildered: "Me?"
"Um."
The painting is filled with a heavy yin energy, not only because there are two nearly dissipated remnants of souls sealed inside, but also because the painting has been cursed.
As for the person who cast the curse, it's most likely that it was that young master Feng from back then.
Given the "private affair" between the two, the curse naturally involved sex.
Ye Wanxi guessed that the painting initially entered the Zhang family because it was aimed at their female members, most likely Zhang Xiaoxiao.
It just so happens that Zhang Xiaoxiao has the talisman she gave her, and Zhang Fujia...
The Zhang family members' faces darkened. Zhang Fujia, as a man, was so angry at such a thing that he almost vomited blood.
But the thought that this could have happened to his own sister almost made Zhang Fujia explode on the spot.
While he was angry, he also felt a little bit relieved. Fortunately, it wasn't his sister who suffered all this. Otherwise, even if he found the mastermind, the damage would have already been done, and no amount of revenge would have helped!
Thinking of this, Zhang Fujia felt a burning hatred, and his anger intensified.
"That collection room upstairs, I guess very few people go in there normally?"
"Yes, besides my dad, only my brother can open the door and go into that room."
"Did you do anything in that room before the accident?"
“Nothing much.” Zhang Fujia frowned and pondered for a moment. “Ah, that time my dad asked me to go in and find an antique sword from the Western Zhou Dynasty. When I opened the box, I accidentally got scratched by the ring on it and made a small cut.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang's mother couldn't help but glare at her husband. Zhang's father touched his nose guiltily, clearly remembering that there was indeed such a thing.
"Is it bleeding?"
"Just a little bit, but I quickly wrapped it up and went out. Before leaving, I checked to make sure no blood dripped into the contents."
Zhang Fujia was still a little guilty when he said this, because he had only hastily wrapped his finger with a tissue to stop the bleeding, and then glanced at the boxes and floor in the room to make sure there was no blood before leaving.
Because the box was an antique, and the ring that had scratched him was made of iron and was a bit rusty, Zhang Fujia was afraid of getting tetanus and even more afraid that there might be some unseen bacteria inside. After a simple cleaning, he went straight to the hospital for an injection.
Seeing his expression, Zhang's mother understood immediately. Her face darkened, and she grabbed her husband's ear and twisted it hard: "If Jiajia and Xiaoxiao really have any problems, I'll smash all those old antiques in your house to pieces, leaving none behind, and see if you'll still be messing around with these useless things all day long."
Mr. Zhang cried out in pain and begged for forgiveness, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again. I will never let Fu Jia help me carry things again. Wife, please give me some face, the children are all here."
