remember
Cui Heng remained indifferent, looking down into Mu He's eyes and saying only:
“I am your elder brother, Muhe.”
The light in Muhe's eyes suddenly dimmed. Brother, brother.
"Yes, brother, I once thought you treated me differently. Because of our sibling relationship, you had no choice but to marry me off to someone else. So I married into the Ghost Realm and Cang Ze for you. But I never expected that you would collude with that demoness," Mu He said in despair, her chest heaving with each breath.
Cui Heng had always treated Mu He very well, which was to make up for his guilt over killing her real brother. However, he never expected that Mu He would misunderstand him so deeply.
"Muhe, you've misjudged," Cui Heng said indifferently.
Mu He smiled bitterly, a faint trace of blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. She finally understood that Cui Heng had never held a place for her in his heart, and what had all her one-sided love meant all these years? In the end, she stopped arguing and closed her eyes in silence.
Cui Heng remained indifferent as he looked at her. He had never harbored any romantic feelings for her, so he couldn't understand her unrequited love. If his past kindness towards her stemmed from a sense of indebtedness, now he was annoyed by her persistent pursuit. Only when he saw that she had stopped struggling did he pick her up and carry her back to her room.
Because of this incident, Muhe's injuries worsened, and she lay in bed with a fever for several days. Aohen visited her several times, and each time he only heard Muhe deliriously shouting that she wanted to kill that witch. Aohen couldn't help but feel sorry for her, but he also sighed helplessly because of Muhe's spoiled nature.
Wang Xiaoxia's health gradually improved, and she was able to walk again in the past two days. Ao Hen was overjoyed and always stayed by her side. In the past few days, she had not gone to see Cui Heng again.
Cui Heng waited for her in his room every day. He could see that she was using him, but he still couldn't help but miss her. Whenever she lowered her head, he would rush forward and hug her tightly. However, she never came to find him.
Because of Muhe's injury, Cangze had to stay in the demon realm temporarily. When he saw Wang Xiaoxia again, she came to Muhe's room to visit Muhe, accompanied by Aohen. When she walked, she always unconsciously put her hand on her lower abdomen, and her face was full of happy joy.
Cang Ze stared at her blankly. Her face was so similar to Xiao Xia's. If he hadn't killed Xiao Xia back then, perhaps he could have lived a simple and happy life with her for a while.
"How is Muhe?" A fierce, hoarse voice suddenly rang out in the room.
Cang Ze snapped out of his daze, turned to look at Aohen, and immediately replied:
"Father, He'er is still unconscious. The doctor just came and examined her. He said that she is unconscious because she is too weak due to excessive blood loss. She has been given medicine and will need to rest for a few more days."
Wang Xiaoxia suddenly burst into tears, tears streaming down her face, and said in a sobbing voice:
"How did you get injured like this?"
Aohen immediately pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her shoulders, and comforted her, saying only:
"It's alright, she'll be fine after a few days of rest. I know you feel sorry for her, but you should also take care of the baby in your womb. Don't hurt yourself because of sadness or overwork."
Cang Ze watched from the side. Although this woman looked almost exactly like Wang Xiaoxia, their personalities were completely different. Wang Xiaoxia was a pure and innocent person and could never act so affectedly.
“Father is right. Mother is pregnant now, so she should take extra care of herself,” Cang Ze said respectfully to Wang Xiaoxia.
Now that he has lost face and accidentally injured Muhe, he has lowered his stance considerably.
Perhaps because she had just taken the medication, Muhe slept very soundly this time and did not wake up in a daze.
Wang Xiaoxia then stopped crying and nestled her head against Aohen's side, saying:
"I've been craving sour plums lately, so why don't we go to the mortal realm tomorrow?"
She looked at Aohun with a pleading expression, but Aohun was in a dilemma because he had important business to attend to in court the next day.
"Tomorrow won't work, how about the day after tomorrow?" Aohen asked softly.
Wang Xiaoxia pouted in dissatisfaction, looked up at him pitifully, like an abandoned puppy.
"What's wrong?" Aohen asked, puzzled.
"Yesterday is postponed to today, today to tomorrow, and tomorrow to the day after tomorrow. If my husband doesn't want to go to the mortal realm with me, then I won't go," Wang Xiaoxia said, turning her body away angrily from Aohun.
Aohen then remembered that the lady had been clamoring to go to the mortal world to eat sour plums for the past few days. However, due to the many affairs of the court and Muhe's continued unconsciousness, he had been unable to take her there. But given her pregnancy, it was understandable that she was craving sour plums.
"Lian'er, don't be angry. It's all my fault. I've been really busy these past two days. How about this? Let the Inspector accompany you tomorrow, okay?" Ao Hen coaxed her patiently.
Cang Ze suddenly became puzzled. When did a mere observer receive such important responsibilities? Why had no one in the army mentioned him?
"What kind of observation could earn such favor from Father?" Cangze couldn't help but ask.
"He is the Queen's uncle, named Bu Liangren. He was brought from Wangyue Pavilion a while ago to accompany the Queen. These past few days, the Queen has been seriously injured, and he has taken good care of her," Aohen explained.
The Bad Guys! It was him! Cang Ze couldn't help but look at Wang Xiaoxia, his lips twitching involuntarily. Wangyue Pavilion, the Bad Guys, and this woman has a face exactly like Wang Xiaoxia's. How could everything be a coincidence?
"So it turns out Mother has an uncle," Cang Ze said, staring into Wang Xiaoxia's eyes, a wicked smile creeping onto his lips as he carefully observed her expression.
This time, Wang Xiaoxia didn't dodge. She looked directly into Cang Ze's eyes and suddenly smiled.
"I lost both my parents when I was young. I was fortunate to have an uncle who took me to Wangyue Pavilion and raised me. Otherwise, I might have died somewhere and returned to the River of Oblivion long ago," Wang Xiaoxia said, looking into Cang Ze's eyes.
Cang Ze was taken aback at first, but now he was even more certain that the woman in front of him was Wang Xiaoxia. He had buried Wang Xiaoxia by the Wangchuan River with his own hands, and now she was deliberately mentioning the Wangchuan River again! There are no such coincidences in this world. If she is not Wang Xiaoxia, she must have some connection with her.
Aohen had no idea what connection they had, and naturally couldn't understand the meaning behind Wang Xiaoxia's words. He just smiled and said:
"Lian'er, then tomorrow the Inspector will take you to the mortal realm to eat sour plums!"
"Alright, in that case, let my uncle accompany me!" Wang Xiaoxia turned back and said to the ao with a cruel smile.
She came here intentionally to tell Cang Ze her itinerary. If he wanted to harm the child in her womb, tomorrow would be the best option.
Cang Ze smiled at Wang Xiaoxia, and began to make plans in his mind.
The next morning, Wang Xiaoxia, accompanied by the Bad Guys, went to the human world.
The scenery in the human world is always much better than that in the demon realm and the ghost realm. Here, the sun shines brightly and day and night are distinct. Wang Xiaoxia led the Bad Guys to the forest where she and Wu Huan first met. It had been a hundred years, and this was the first time she had revisited the place.
The forest is now much denser than before, and many precious herbs have grown even more luxuriantly because no one has picked them. I wonder if there has ever been another person in the world with medical skills as good as my father.
Wang Xiaoxia found a relatively high place. Now, standing on the high ground, she could no longer see her original home. After that day, she went back once, buried her family members one by one, and then burned the house down. Now, the place is no longer the same as it used to be. For many years, she has not dared to go near it again.
"You seem very familiar with this place?" The Bad Guy noticed this and asked Wang Xiaoxia.
“This is my home. When I was little, my father often took me to this forest to collect herbs. But I was not ambitious, so my mother always beat me. Every time I was beaten, I would run up the mountain,” Wang Xiaoxia said, still smiling as she recalled these memories.
The scoundrel laughed too, and said:
"Your mother used to chase and beat me when I was a kid!"
Wang Xiaoxia was amused and laughed.
"You actually get beaten by my mother?"
“It wasn’t just me. Your mother’s personality was exactly like your maternal grandmother’s. She was domineering and tyrannical from a young age. My father liked your mother’s personality, so he arranged a marriage between me and your mother when we were young. I was terrified every day back then, fearing that I would marry your mother. Later, when I learned that your mother had run away from the marriage, you can’t imagine how happy I was,” the bad guy said, a smile of reminiscence appearing on his face.
When Wang Xiaoxia heard someone mention her mother like this for the first time, she couldn't help but laugh.
“My mother has never hit my father.”
"Your father is just a mortal, how could he withstand a beating?" the Bad Guy retorted.
The two smiled at each other, both lost in their own memories.
“That year, I was framed by Wu Huan and fled to Youming Ferry covered in wounds. I mistook you for Si Ye, only to later discover that you were actually her daughter,” the Bad Guy continued.
"So you started investigating me back then?" Wang Xiaoxia replied.
“Yes,” the Bad Guy admitted.
The information he found at that time was that Si Ye's daughter suddenly went mad one night, raised her sword and killed her entire family, and then disappeared without a trace. Later, he learned from Wang Yue that Wang Xiaoxia had forgotten everything except her name since she came to Wang Yue Pavilion. He guessed that the death of Si Ye's family must be related to Wu Huan, which is why he tested Wang Xiaoxia like that when they first went to the Ghost Realm, and that's how he learned all this.
"Has Wu Huan ever been here?" the Bad Guy asked again. If Wu Huan controlled Wang Xiaoxia to kill his entire family, then he must have been alive back then.
“He was injured and hid in this forest. I found him and rescued him. You know what happened after that,” Wang Xiaoxia said, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards the cave where she and Wu Huan had once lived together.
Seeing her deep in thought, the rogue turned and asked:
Do you think Wu Huan will come to kill us today?
