Chapter 79 Extra 3

No.

When Zhu Chengyu first went out, he felt guilty and confused, pretending to be angry, but also with a hint of expectation.

Now there is only chaos and anger.

"You all know, right? Just like you all knew that Shen Yingxue was the owner of the flower, and I was the only one who was kept in the dark!" Zhu Chengyu became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He spoke quickly and his breathing became rapid. "You all bully me because I'm blind and I can't see. I don't deserve to know the truth! I don't even know your gender! You see me being fooled around like a fool. Is it fun?"

Han Jing said, "No one has ever deceived you."

Zhu Chengyu became even angrier, tears welling from her grey-blue eyes. "No one has ever lied to me, but I was blind and believed everything I heard. I was so self-indulgent that I treated you as my relatives. You deserve it that I treated you as my own sister. I was the one who offended you!"

Han Jing did feel uncomfortable being called "sister", but it was not Joo Sung Ok's fault. The fault was that Joo Sung Ok was too naive, with a mind full of yellow garbage, and never thought about the evil of human hearts.

He didn't know how to comfort Zhu Chengyu, so he let her cry and drove in silence, just wanting to get there quickly so that the elders could comfort him.

After arriving at Shen Yingxue's residence, Zhu Chengyu came down angrily and walked in the opposite direction, but was pulled by Han Jing, "This way."

"I won't go!" Zhu Chengyu's eyes were red as he walked back firmly.

How could Han Jing let him leave like this? He forcibly dragged him inside. Zhu Chengyu struggled so hard that Han Jing could not control him. He hugged him from behind, lifted him onto his shoulders, and dragged him inside.

"Put me down!" Zhu Chengyu said through gritted teeth.

Han Jing ignored him, ignored the surprised looks of others, and walked straight inside.

Zhu Ling came out from the princess's place, heard the noise here, took a look, and asked in confusion: "Is this Zhu Chengyu? What happened?"

Zhu Chengyu immediately quieted down when he heard the strange voice. He squeezed Han Jing's arm hard, secretly blaming him for making him lose face.

Han Jing frowned in pain: "Uncle, where is grandma?"

Zhu Chengyu: "Shameless."

Han Jing sounds much older than the other man, and he calls him uncle, so that man must be Zhu Ling, the second son of King Zhongxin.

Han Jing first called King Zhongxin his grandmother, and then called a man younger than him his uncle, without any hesitation. He seemed to be a person who was following suit.

Zhu Ling said, "She is in the house, let's go there together."

Han Jing carried Zhu Chengyu away.

Zhu Ling hesitated and asked, "Isn't this a bad idea?"

Han Jing looked at Zhu Chengyu and saw that he also looked unhappy, so he let him go. Fearing that he would run away, he grabbed his wrist tightly and led Zhu Chengyu inside.

Zhu Ling said, "She has recently taken to painting because her eldest brother said that she looks like a beauty in a painting. She has been painting every day with some ink and paint these days. The room is a little messy, don't mind it."

Han Jing shook his head.

The room was just as Zhu Chengyu had said, with paper balls everywhere and a strong smell of ink. The princess wore a blue silk dress, powdered face and lip rouge, and her long hair was tied up in a bun, studded with pearls and jade jewelry.

But even though she had dressed up, Han Jing still had a strange feeling when looking at her. The men's clothing could not be shaken off, and he felt that she looked like a man dressed as a woman in women's clothing.

When the princess saw someone coming, she put her pen on the pen holder and looked at them with a smile: "Jing'er brought his brother back."

Han Jing nodded: "Grandma."

"Good boy." The princess walked forward and said a few words to Han Jing, then looked at Zhu Chengyu. "I have heard of you before, but I have never met you. Now I see that you are indeed a handsome boy, just like Xue'er said. You two should go out. I will talk to Yu'er alone."

She had been pretending to be a man for so many years, and she had deliberately suppressed her voice. Even when she regained her original voice, it still sounded a little strange. Zhu Chengyu had better hearing than ordinary people, and she found it even more bizarre. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether this person was a man or a woman.

Zhu Chengyu didn't care about her praise and even felt unhappy about it.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the person he wanted to see most when he came back was Shen Yingxue, and he didn't want to listen to the old witch's nagging at all.

But this person is Shen Yingxue's mother...

Zhu Chengyu did not get angry. She obediently let her hold her hand and touched her hair.

Both mother and son share the same love for this white hair.

The princess said, "Xue'er taught me how to do this, and you will follow me from now on. Although I am a woman, I know a lot, so it will be no problem for me to teach you. When you have learned well, Xue'er will be able to save some trouble and feel more relaxed."

Shen Yingxue had discussed Zhu Chengyu's education with her in private. The princess herself felt very sorry for not having raised a child, and after hearing Shen Yingxue's words, she felt particularly empathetic and decided to teach Zhu Chengyu well.

When Zhu Chengyu heard this, she asked, "Does he care about me so much?"

She clearly didn't care about him at all, and threw him to Qingyu Palace and never asked about him again. It was as if she wanted to end all ties with him and never have any contact with him again.

The princess asked, "Jing'er and Jiang Hanfeng, weren't they both your teachers? And there's also the one called Lan Jin, I heard he taught you medicine. In addition to these people, it seems that there are several other doctors who taught you. Were these people not selected for you by Xue'er?"

"Lan Jin? Lan Jin is...Mr. Cat?" Zhu Chengyu asked.

"Yes, that's him."

Zhu Chengyu clenched her hands secretly.

Well, he doesn’t even know his master’s name.

The princess said, "Think about it carefully. If Xue'er didn't care about you, she would have chased you away long ago. Why would she let you stay in Zanhua Lane?" She sighed and patted Zhu Chengyu's hand. "In the final analysis, it's still his illness."

She felt that Shen Yingxue treated Zhu Chengyu as a child and didn't want to make him sad, but she couldn't control herself, so she did something that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Zhu Chengyu's cognition was continuously impacted, and he was in a trance. He asked, "Is Shen Yingxue's illness real?"

I don’t know whether Ling Yun’s madness is real, or Hua Zhu’s weak body is real.

"How can you say that?" The princess said, "It's fine to say it here, but don't mention it in front of Xue'er. He is just getting better now, and it's time for him to calm down and rest. Don't irritate him."

The princess took over Zhu Chengyu and knew the child's character in advance. She knew that he was more defensive than others and cared a lot about family affection. He seemed to be very scheming, calculating, cold and selfish, but when he regarded Shen Yingxue as his father, his trust in Shen Yingxue was unconditional.

He has no sense of morality, but by restraining himself with his family, he can be a good child.

The princess subtly spoke well of Shen Yingxue, "You should know that Xue'er was seriously injured after the demise of the Demon Cult a few years ago. The rumors a year ago, saying that he was seriously injured and dying, and that he was crazy and demented, were certainly meant to discredit him, but they were all true."

Zhu Chengyu lowered his eyes and listened quietly, his expression undetectable.

"I didn't expect this child to have such a hard time. I didn't expect that he would take you in even though his situation was so difficult. It shows that he really likes you."

Zhu Chengyu thought: Shen Yingxue didn't like him. When they first met, Shen Yingxue's face showed that she had no interest in him. But he was indeed softer to her than to others.

"Xue'er was born in the Demon Sect, but he is a cold-faced but soft-hearted person. Judging from your appearance, you must have had a quarrel with him. No one knows a son better than his mother. Even though we haven't seen each other for more than 20 years, I can guess that he probably never compromised or backed down when facing you.

"He is only in his twenties now and has never married or had children. He doesn't know how to get along with children. In addition, when he was in the Demon Cult, he never experienced family affection and only faced killers from the Demon Cult.

"Even though he taught Jing'er, he still had a stern face and pretended to be dignified. When facing you, he would also bring over the way he used to deal with others. It is inevitable that his attitude is a little cold, but he has you in his heart."

Zhu Chengyu put himself in Shen Yingxue's shoes and thought about it, and suddenly realized that Shen Yingxue's life experience was not much better than his.

The difference is that Shen Yingxue is not a white child, does not have such a strange disease, and has never been regarded as a heretic. However, he has been in the dark and dark cult for many years, and probably suffered a lot of injuries and killed many people.

Shen Yingxue had such great martial arts skills because she trained hard in the hottest days of summer and the coldest days of winter. She probably endured more hardships and sweated more than anyone else.

In comparison, Zhu Chengyu is safer and does not have to live on the edge of a knife when he is still weak.

Thinking of this, Shen Yingxue's gentleness is even more precious. When he came to her door, he was so weak and helpless. Shen Yingxue could have killed him and taken the token directly, but she kept her promise and made a deal. When he called Shen Yingxue daddy, Shen Yingxue could have killed him, but she gave him rare tenderness.

He got very angry after knowing the truth. Shen Yingxue could easily have killed him in Zanhua Lane and buried him under the osmanthus tree in front of the lane, but she let him move freely and handed over the Qingyu Palace that he had been obsessed with to him.

Just now this woman said that the injuries on Shen Yingxue's body and his madness were real and not fake.

If a madman can do this, is there any reason to doubt Shen Yingxue's feelings for him?

As for those secrets and deceptions, it was probably because Shen Yingxue was a lunatic.

Sometimes she couldn't control her own words and actions. Zhu Chengyu would occasionally hear his conversations with Xun Yan and others. Shen Yingxue's attitude towards them was very strange, a bit like she was acting coquettishly. Zhu Chengyu used to think that Hua Zhu's personality was somewhat similar to that of a cat, but now she thought that he was obviously sick.

He was ruthless in his killings, probably because he was ill.

However, in front of Zhu Chengyu, Shen Yingxue restrained herself, always acting like a gentle and tolerant elder, and never showed any abnormality.

Seeing Zhu Chengyu lost in thought, the princess poured a cup of tea and drank it slowly. When Zhu Chengyu came to his senses, she put down the cup and asked, "Good boy, can you forgive him?"

How hateful Zhu Chengyu felt just now, now she felt how kind she was.

The moment he let go of his temper and accepted Shen Yingxue again, Shen Yingxue's mother naturally became one of his own. Zhu Chengyu threw himself into her arms, "Thank you for teaching me, I was wrong."

The princess' voice was gentle, but her expression was indifferent. If Zhu Chengyu could see this, she probably wouldn't be so moved so quickly. She patted Zhu Chengyu on the back, feeling a sense of accomplishment, "This is not your fault."

Zhu Chengyu thought she was very gentle, gentler than any other woman he had ever met. He kept crying and cried while hugging the princess.

The princess took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, thinking that Cher really had good taste. Even though he was crying like this, the child was still exquisite, with slightly red eye sockets and two blue eyes like crystals, with a kind of fragile beauty that was pleasing to the eyes.

Zhu Chengyu cried for a long time, choking with sobs, and said to the princess: "I, I want to go find him."

The princess said, "Then you must not cry. Remember to behave well in front of Xue'er and don't provoke him."

Zhu Chengyu nodded: "Yes."

The princess held his hand and said, "Let Zhu Ling take you there. You two have never been together before, right? Get closer. You will be a family in the future."

A family.

This word deeply touched Zhu Chengyu's heart.

He is not Shen Yingxue's child, but he can still be a family with his relatives.

From now on, those relatives who had bullied him will no longer be his relatives.

He will have a new home.

The princess called Zhu Ling over and handed Zhu Chengyu to him, "Go."
