Chapter 1 Villainous Siblings
That day, Luo Xi and her brother Luo Jing passed by Qingyun Manor, intending to visit their cousin Zhou Yu, whom they hadn't seen for many years...
Luo Xi walked in front, while Luo Jing followed slowly behind her with a blade of grass in his mouth.
Luo Xi: "It's been so many years since we last met. Do you think she still remembers us?"
Luo Jing: "You should remember, right?"
He touched his handsome face. "We're so recognizable, the man is handsome and the woman is beautiful."
Just as Luo Xi was about to speak, they heard two women by the river whispering about Zhou Yu.
Luo Xi and Luo Jing crouched in the bushes at the same time, eavesdropping intently...
A woman in a blue dress said while washing clothes, "That young lady is pitiful. Her mother died early, and her father remarried."
"A legitimate daughter of the main wife was schemed against by her stepmother so that she could not return home and could only live in a villa in the suburbs."
"Sigh, with a stepmother comes a stepfather."
"To be honest, if her father had done anything at all, Miss Zhou wouldn't have been kicked out of the villa by her stepmother."
"And that old lady, she's kind on the outside but cruel on the inside."
"On the surface, she is kind and gentle to everyone, but in reality, she is ruthless to everyone."
"Also, you don't know, when Miss Zhou's mother was still alive, it seemed that she didn't have a very good relationship with that old lady."
"I heard... I heard it's because that old lady wanted Master Zhou to marry her niece as a concubine."
"Miss Zhou's mother was unwilling, and then..."
The woman in gray stopped what she was doing and asked, "Do you think the death of Miss Zhou's mother is related to that old lady?"
The woman in blue looked around. "I think so."
"Now, hasn't that old lady's niece successfully become the master's wife?"
"I don't believe it's not the old lady's doing..."
The woman in gray said, "I don't believe it either."
"After Miss Zhou's mother passed away, I heard that she doted on Miss Zhou a lot."
"If she favored her, why would she remain indifferent to the fact that Miss Zhou was banished to the villa?"
The woman in blue said, "It's just a pretense of favor."
“That Lord Zhou, he wasn’t a good father either.”
"With a new wife, he no longer cares about his daughter from his first marriage."
“”
Half an hour later, Luo Xi and Luo Jing left. They had asked around and found out the location of Zhou Yu's villa.
Luo Xi and Luo Jing rushed over.
Zhou Yu saw Luo Xi and Luo Jing and burst into tears of joy.
"Cousin, cousin, please help me. Help me kill my stepmother, kill her secretly."
"I hate her, I despise her."
“She falsely accused me of stealing and even had me brought here.”
Luo Xi: "What about your father and grandmother? Do you hate them?"
Zhou Yu frowned. "Them? I don't hate them."
"It was my stepmother who drove me here, not them. Why should I hate them?"
Luo Jing: ".............."
Luo Xi: ""
Why doesn't she hate her father and grandmother? Why does she only hate her stepmother?
Actually, you should know this if you just think about it for a moment.
If her father and grandmother had just kept a little discipline, her stepmother wouldn't have dared to treat her, the legitimate daughter of the first wife, like that.
Their inaction proves they condone their stepmother's mistreatment of her...
She actually "naively" thought that her father and grandmother were good people?
