In the living room, Yuan Xi was playing a video for Xue Huan and Xue Rong. In the video, a middle-aged man said, "I don't know what happened. My hands and feet suddenly stopped responding. I really didn't mean to drive that way..."
This middle-aged man was the driver who caused Xue Rong's car accident. When he described what happened that day, he looked terrified and confused.
Yuan Xi paused the video and said to Xue Rong, "Auntie, he had a mantra affixed to his body when he was interrogated, so what he said is true. I suspect someone secretly controlled him and made him crash into the taxi you took that day."
In this world, there are many ways to control people.
Xue Rong could instantly think of several methods in her mind, such as puppetry, silk pulling, etc., and some elixirs can also achieve the effect of controlling people.
Even some ordinary people with strong mental powers can use hypnosis to control others.
So, what type of driver is involved in the accident?
No matter which one it is, it is certain that someone wants to kill Xue Rong.
Seeing Xue Rong's face looking deep and thoughtful, Xue Huan asked, "Mom, do you know who wants to attack you?"
Xue Rong looked at her daughter's still childish face, hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell her the past that she had been hiding in her heart. After all, although her daughter was young, she was extremely intelligent and much more mature and sensible than an ordinary three-year-old child. She should not continue to hide it from her.
She nodded, "Hanhuan, Mommy has something to tell you."
Yuan Xi: "Auntie, should I step aside?"
Xue Rong shook her head: "No need, Xiaoxi should listen too."
She organized her words and began to narrate, "Five years ago, I accepted a mission from the Cultivation Alliance—to find the Nine-Colored Flower. While searching for the flower, I encountered a seriously injured and unconscious man. After some hesitation, I finally saved him."
At this moment, Xue Huan suddenly said, "Mom, isn't he handsome?"
Xue Rong laughed and scratched her nose. "That's right, the reason why Mom decided to save him was largely because of his face."
She can still recall the man lying in the grass covered in blood, looking disheveled yet so handsome that it made her heart beat faster.
Xue Rong continued, "I brought him back to my temporary residence, treated his injuries, and fed him medicine. He woke up, but had lost his memory. He couldn't remember who he was, where he came from, or who had hurt him... Later, we fell in love, but one day he left and never came back. I searched everywhere for him, only to learn that he was engaged to the tenth daughter of the Wang family.
"I wanted to go find him and ask him clearly. If he didn't want to be with me anymore, we should have broken up. Why did he hide his engagement with another woman from me? But when we met again, he said I wasn't worthy of him. If I had any sense, I shouldn't have appeared in front of him again and disturbed him."
Although several years have passed, she still couldn't help choking up when she thought about the scene at that time. She thought she had let it go, but the facts proved that she hadn't, and her heart still felt a little suffocated.
But she couldn't cry in front of the children, it would be too embarrassing.
Xue Rong blinked quickly, trying to force back the tears.
Xue Huan didn't say anything, but snuggled into her arms and hugged her, as if saying, "Mom, don't cry, you still have me," silently giving her comfort.
Xue Rong hugged her daughter's soft body and smiled, but tears flashed in her eyes. Yuan Xi handed her a tissue: "Auntie, cry if you want."
Xue Rong took it and wiped her eyes. "At the time, I thought, since he said that, I would definitely not appear in front of him again. But then his fiancée, the Tenth Miss Wang, came over. To prove his true feelings to Miss Wang, he slapped me with his palm, trying to kill me."
Xue Huan clenched her fists angrily. Don't let him know who that bastard is, otherwise she will kill him!
Xue Rong: "At that time, I was only in the early stages of foundation building, while he was already at the peak of the golden elixir stage. I was far from his match. If it weren't for the protective magic weapon my master gave me, I would have been killed by his palm. Afterwards, I fled all the way, but he never let me go and kept sending people to hunt me down.
"While escaping, I accidentally stepped into a small secret place and hid there to recuperate. Then, I found out that I was pregnant."
She looked at Xue Huan in her arms with gentle eyes.
Xue Huan's eyes widened a little: "Mom, that's me, right?"
Xue Rong kissed her on the forehead and said, "Of course."
Xue Huan pouted in dissatisfaction: "I'm actually that bad guy's child. Mom, when you first found out, didn't you want me?"
Looking at her daughter's clear and innocent eyes, Xue Rong couldn't lie, but she couldn't say it out loud as she was afraid of hurting her daughter's young heart. She was in a dilemma.
How could Xue Huan bear to put her in a difficult position?
"Mom, you don't have to tell me, I know everything. That bad guy treated you like that, so it's normal for you to not want me. But why did you give birth to me later?"
Xue Rong patted her head. "Because Mom couldn't make up her mind to give up on you. Although your father was a jerk, he and I were once truly in love. In this life, loving someone like this once is enough. I don't think I'll ever be able to fall in love with anyone else again. Since I can't fall in love with someone else and start a family with them, then being a single mother and raising a child is not bad. So after careful consideration, I decided to give birth to you.
"Every day since then, I've been incredibly grateful for making this decision. Otherwise, how could I have such an incredibly cute and beautiful little baby?"
She nudged her daughter on the forehead.
Xue Huan was amused by her and laughed out loud.
Yuan Xi watched the mother and daughter laughing and playing with a smile on his face.
"After giving birth to Huanhuan, I left the small secret realm. To prevent being found by the people he sent to hunt me down, I hid my cultivation, integrated into the secular world, and became an ordinary person."
Xue Huan asked, "So, Mom, who is that bad guy?"
Xue Rong: "Baby, the one you met with him was——"
Before she could finish, Xue Huan suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "Lu Ji!"
Xue Rong said "hmm".
After being surprised, Yuan Xi felt that it was natural. After all, Huanhuan and Lu Ji looked so similar, and he had this guess in his mind at the time.
"Auntie, do you suspect that this car accident was caused by someone sent by Lu Ji?"
Xue Rong: "For the past three years, Huanhuan and I have lived peacefully. I thought he had given up on killing me, but it was obvious that as soon as he found me, he couldn't wait to attack me."
Xue Huan: "Don't be afraid, Mom. The next time I see him, I'll blow his head off! He won't be able to touch you again!"
She waved her fists and uttered harsh words, her eyes burning with anger, but in the eyes of Xue Rong and Yuan Xi, she looked extremely cute.
