Chapter 233
Of all the places he is most familiar with and misses the most is the ancient castle. There is a secret passage underground in the castle, a place that even the owner of the castle doesn't know about. This secret passage was dug by Mayfly when Yun Lieting was not at home. At that time, Mayfly was afraid of Yun Lieting and wanted to leave a way out for himself, so he dug this secret passage. As a result, Mayfly didn't use it himself, but he used it. He also took advantage of the time when everyone left the castle to lurk back. No one would think of coming here to check him because no one dared to step in here.
Long Fanli has always been a cautious person. He likes to consider all the consequences before doing anything. Otherwise, he would not have been able to successfully gain Xia Lingjun's complete trust so easily. Now he knows that Xia Lingjun, including her eldest daughter and all the men in the royal villa are gradually beginning to like his Zhao'er. His Zhao'er is so cute that everyone who sees her will like him. Sometimes even he himself can't tell what he really thinks of Long Zhao.
Naturally, Long Zhao and he communicated with each other through the small flying ants. That thing could be big or small. When it shrank, it was smaller than a mosquito and no one could notice it at all. He felt that the time was about to come, and he hoped that Zhao'er would never know the truth in his life, because he was afraid that he would not be able to face Zhao'er then.
He had been lurking in the secret passage waiting. He was a very patient man and could spend a long time doing one thing. He had been like this since he was a child. He could stay in the laboratory for a whole year without coming out, so life in the secret passage was not that difficult.
In this world, he has no family affection. His grandfather is dead, and his drunkard father had his head secretly cut off after the Long family was destroyed because he had committed too many sins in his life. Even his body has not been found. If there is anyone who is closest to him, Long Fanli, it is only Long Zhao, and Long Zhao happens to be the pawn of revenge in his hands.
Finally, he had been waiting for this day. Long Zhao had gained the absolute trust of everyone. This trust was not easy to come by. It took almost a year for him and his daughter. Yun Lieting used to have some ideas about Long Zhao, but after a year, he had no ideas at all. And when Yun Lieyu knew that Long Zhao was actually his biological daughter, he treated her even better.
Yun Jing and Yun Nuo gave all their care and affection to this late sister who never liked to talk much and never smiled. Long Zhao changed her name to Yun Zhao, but her heart never changed from beginning to end. From the moment she was born, there was no warmth in her life, and she could not feel any warmth even if others gave her.
Because her heart and her body had long been corroded by the poison of the dark water, it was like a thousand-year-old piece of ice that could not be melted.
If the only one who still doubted her was Tuanzi, it was because Tuanzi could sense a strong threat from her. Since she came, Tuanzi often walked out of his personal space at the risk of being plucked out by Yunnuo, but Tuanzi never dared to hurt Yun Zhao, because Yun Zhao was indeed the daughter of the master's sister, but she was covered with too many things of the Ice Man. It could see ruthlessness and hatred in her eyes, but everyone was blinded by her heart.
It has been a year, and it is not easy for Yun Zhao to pretend to be a good daughter and a good sister for a year. If it were not for Tuanzi who was always vigilantly waiting for Xia Lingjun, she would have taken action long ago. The divine beast is worthy of being a divine beast, and its perception sensitivity is different from that of ordinary people. Yun Zhao knows very well that Tuanzi has always been on guard against her. If she cannot break through this defense, she will never succeed. Her opponent is too strong. Once she fails, she may never have another chance. She does not want her father's efforts to go to waste.
After waiting for a year, Tuanzi gradually lost her patience. She could no longer be on the defensive. Offense was the best defense. Since this could not hurt Yun Zhao, she could only force Yun Zhao to take action. Yun Zhao had been lurking here for a year and had not taken any action yet. It could be seen that she was a girl with super endurance. But she herself did not have that much energy to be highly nervous and wary of Yun Zhao every day. Instead of doing that, it would be better to end it directly.
After making up its mind, Tuanzi gradually stopped being wary of Yun Zhao and began to show a friendly attitude towards her. However, the change in its attitude was gradual and took it several months.
Although Yun Zhao is cruel and good at disguising herself, she is, after all, a young girl who has just entered the world. In the past few years, the only person she has met is Long Fanli, so her heart is still relatively pure. If Long Fanli had not given her some guidance through the little flying ant, she would not have been able to do so well.
In the blink of an eye, more than three months passed. Yun Zhao felt that the last obstacle had been removed. Tuanzi had completely trusted her. Tuanzi used to run out of the portable space every day, but now she didn't come out for two weeks. Her chance had come.
That night, Xia Lingjun hugged Yun Zhao and lay happily on the warm big bed. When she was not sleeping with men, she always liked to sleep with her two daughters. Since Yun Nuo fell in love with Feng Yuxie, she often went out on dates at night. Xia Lingjun felt a little disappointed. Fortunately, Yun Zhao was well-behaved and sensible, making up for this shortcoming. Yun Jing had grown into a promising young man, but unfortunately there was no beauty to match him. She had been worrying about Yun Jing's lifelong affairs. Men, after all, miss their wives when they grow up.
Even if Xia Lingjun's power was too strong, it was impossible for her to conjure up a woman and give her to Yun Jing. "Alas!" She opened her eyes wide and sighed slightly.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Yun Zhao asked softly.
"Yun Zhao, Mom is worried about your brother's future." Xia Lingjun gently rubbed Yun Zhao's hair and said with a faint smile.
"Mom, isn't my brother living well now? Why should we worry about his future? Who knows what will happen in the future? It's unnecessary to worry!" Yun Zhao replied.
"Yun Zhao, maybe mom is just worrying about nothing! Mom knows that worrying is useless and can't change anything, but you also know that sister already has someone she likes. Then my Yun Zhao will also have someone she likes, and what about Xiao Jing? He will be alone all his life without anyone to accompany him." Xia Lingjun frowned slightly, very worried.
"Mom, Yun Zhao doesn't like anyone else. Can he stay with mom and brother for the rest of his life?" Yun Zhao said.
Xia Lingjun reached out and flicked Yun Zhao's nose affectionately, then smiled and said, "They say a daughter is her mother's warmest blanket. My Yun Zhao really knows how to make her happy. But, Yun Zhao, are you happy here?"
"Happy." Yun Zhao replied.
"But mom has never seen your smiling face." Xia Lingjun said again.
"Mom, I can't laugh. I haven't been able to laugh since I can remember." Yun Zhao said helplessly, "Sister is still the best. Sister loves to laugh the most. Yun Zhao sometimes envies Sister. Yun Zhao also likes Sister very much. I hope that one day I can laugh as carefree as Sister."
"Yes, my Yun Zhao will definitely do that." Xia Lingjun gently embraced Yun Zhao in her arms. A faint fragrance emanated from Yun Zhao's red hair. Xia Lingjun took a slight breath and felt the fragrance permeate her lungs. It was very pleasant. She smiled and said, "Yun Zhao, your hair smells so good. Did you apply some perfume on it?"
"Mom, you know I have never liked those fragrances. It was my sister who said that women should have some fragrance. She sprayed some perfume on me this afternoon. My sister said that this kind of perfume is very nourishing to the hair. My hair has always been frizzy, and it seems to be much smoother after spraying some perfume. Mom, can you feel it and see if it is true?" Yun Zhao sneered in her heart. Yun Nuo did help her spray the hair-softening perfume, but she added a little thing to the perfume. She silently counted the time in her heart. In just a few minutes, Xia Lingjun would lose consciousness and fall into a deep sleep. Tonight was a rare and excellent opportunity.
"Your red hair..." Xia Lingjun has always been puzzled by Yun Zhao's red hair. She has black hair, while Lieyu has flaxen hair. Why is Yun Zhao's hair bright red? This red looks extremely dazzling under the sunlight. She never knew that a person's hair could be so red naturally. Perhaps Yun Zhao inherited the characteristics of his ancestors from Planet X, because Xia Lingjun remembered that the father from Planet X once told her when she was a child that her grandmother had dazzling red hair.
Before Xia Lingjun could finish her words, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes and her whole body became weak. She wanted to sleep so much that her eyelids were too heavy to lift. Although she felt that something was wrong, she could not doubt her daughter. Her daughter was her flesh and blood, and she absolutely did not want to doubt her. "Yun Zhao, Mommy is so sleepy... so sleepy."
"Mom..." Yun Zhao called softly twice, then reached out to shake Xia Lingjun. Xia Lingjun had fallen asleep completely. Yun Zhao looked at Xia Lingjun with a cold light in her eyes. She had doubted why this woman was so nice to her, as if she really wanted to treat her like her own daughter. But Dad said, the more someone smiles at you, the more likely the knife behind them will be sharper.
"Xia Lingjun, you killed my mother, took my sister away, and you controlled my sister to make her your lackey. Tonight I will kill you and end everything." Yun Zhao thought to herself. She just watched quietly for a while. She seemed to hear her father encouraging her to act quickly. The poison of the Dark Water began to spread throughout her body. It was the Dark Water planted in her by this woman. If it weren't for her father's superb medical skills, she would have suffered to death. Even so, she endured inhuman pain, because the raw materials for the antidote were very rare. Her father took her to hide in the Arctic to collect the raw materials. Her father even nearly died in order to collect the Snow Silver Ganoderma on the top of the snow-capped mountain. She took out an antidote and swallowed it slowly. This was the last antidote her father gave her. Because Yun hadn't been to the Arctic for more than a year, the antidote was almost finished. She had to solve everything before the poison took effect, and then follow her father back to the North Pole.
