“That is indeed strange.” Gu Shouxin frowned after listening.
"Her father, Niannian, have you noticed a problem?" Cai Lian suddenly asked.
"What's the problem?" Gu Shouxin asked, while Gu Nian also looked at Cai Lian.
“After you beat Lu Zheng that time, he completely changed. He was completely different from the first few times we met him. At first, we thought he was looking at Niannian, but later we found out he was looking at Xinxin. Then that time at the gambling den, he grabbed Xinxin and told her that we were going to sell her, and he wanted Xinxin to go with him. But after being beaten, he had no guard up against us at all, as if he knew we wouldn't treat Xinxin badly,” Cai Lian said.
“Mother, I also find this strange,” Gu Nian chimed in. “It’s understandable that he gets along well with Father, since he never met Father in his past life and doesn’t know him at all. But he did meet you and me in his past life—oh no, I mean the original Gu Nian and Cai Lianha!”
"In his past life, the original owner, Gu Nian, and Cai Lian caused him to fail in many plans because of Xin Xin, and he was almost suspected by the Third Prince of colluding with his stepmother. Even I, as a reader, disliked the original owner, Gu Nian, and Cai Lian, let alone him, who experienced it firsthand."
"And he, ever since he was beaten, has not shown any disgust towards us. He even really treats Mother as an elder and me as a younger sister. He's not a saint, how could he repay evil with kindness?"
"I've always found this strange, and I've been secretly observing him. If he's faking it, then his acting skills must be exceptionally good!"
Gu Nian sighed.
“That’s right, Niannian, you feel the same way! I often forget that he’s the male lead and just think of him as a nephew, and he’s a pretty good guy. Did he actually reincarnate?” Cai Lian asked, equally puzzled.
"He's definitely a reincarnated character. As for his attitude towards the three of us, there are two possibilities. One is that it's because of Xin Xin, and the other is that he actually knows we're not the original three people." Gu Shouxin thought for a moment and continued, "However, I think the first possibility is unlikely. My childhood experiences are quite similar to his. If it were me, even if I were reincarnated and willing to endure, I couldn't possibly be so sincere towards three people like that. I think the second possibility is more likely: he actually knows we're not the original three people."
After Gu Shouxin finished speaking, Cai Lian and Gu Nian were both stunned.
"This, this is too strange! Too unbelievable! Really, Dad, Mom, could this be related to Grandpa's master? Lu Zheng was beyond medical help, all the doctors declared him hopeless, but he just stayed with that master for one night and got better? And that master inexplicably went to Grandpa and Grandma's house to ask for water, and those words... Grandpa and Grandma's house is at the foot of the mountain, not at the village entrance, there's no reason for him to walk all the way down the mountain to ask for water, he must have done it on purpose!" Gu Nian analyzed.
"I'll find a chance to see who this master really is," Gu Shouxin said with a sigh.
People or things that are not under his control really annoy him.
"Hmm, good that you've figured it out! We two time-traveled after death, but Niannian didn't. If we can figure this out, maybe Niannian will have a chance to go back! Although I'll miss Niannian." Cai Lian patted Gu Nian's hand.
