Chu was not only about to faint, she was almost angry to death.
Xie Shu's voice interrupted her impotent rage.
"So what is the truth?" He looked at Ye You and Qing Wu.
The latter shrugged and pushed Yeyou forward.
Ye You rolled his eyes, cursing Qing Wu in his heart for being a ghost and not doing anything evil. Do you think she should give face to Xie Shu, her white moonlight?
She laughed at the other person's mother in person, without hiding her ridicule.
You say she doesn't give him face, but she lets him do such a shameless thing.
Is this the respect you give to your white moonlight?
Ye You was pushed out, and he was not polite anymore, snorting: "Even if I tell you the truth, you may not believe it."
He walked forward, made a gesture with his fingers, and tapped Xie Ling's throat, "Boy, tell your mother what happened back then."
Xie Ling felt that his tangled throat had finally become smooth. His face had long been flushed with anxiety, and now he blurted out everything:
"It was my sister who saved me underwater that year—"
"This is impossible!" Chu's voice was stern.
"It's true!" Xie Ling was anxious, tears streaming down his face. He only found out today because he mentioned his sister when he was not conscious, which caused his sister to be misunderstood by their mother.
Chu shook her head and refused to believe it.
"Even if she wasn't the one who pushed you into the water, what about the injuries you've sustained over the years?"
Xie Yun was startled: "What injury?"
Chu's eyes were filled with sarcasm: "The Duke is so busy that he has been concentrating on helping Prince Yan these years. Naturally, he doesn't know how much damage Zhu Ling'er has suffered."
Xie Yun's heart choked, and he felt ashamed and angry: "I neglected you and your son, but please don't blame others for this."
Chu snorted and said, "Since Ling'er fell into the water, there have been people serving him all the time, but he always has some inexplicable scars on his body."
"Those scars are very strange, they don't look like they were caused by humans at all. Otherwise, why do you think I brought him to Izumo Temple in the first place?"
Xie Yun was speechless. He wanted to ask Chu why she never told him these things, but he was worried that Chu would bring the topic back to Xiao Chenyan.
Ye You suddenly sneered: "A dragon and a phoenix are twins, their souls depend on each other, and they share the same heart and destiny. You have committed this sin yourself, and now you are blaming that poor child."
Chu's heart skipped a beat, and she stared at Ye You intently: "What do you mean by the same heart and the same fate?"
"You don't even understand the literal meaning?" Ye You rolled his eyes. "Xie Ling and that little resentful boy are twins. They both have special fates and are destined to have great success."
"That little resentful child was strangled to death by you the moment he came out. Do you think you only killed one child? Little did you know that you also indirectly strangled your other child."
Ye You pointed at Xie Ling and said, "If you bear a blood debt, you will be doomed every nine years. You have a good son. The blood debt that should have been retributed to you has been borne by your good son."
"You, a good son, also have a good sister. Even though she was killed by your cruel mother and drowned in the icy lake, with her soul unable to be reborn, when Xie Ling encountered the nine-life calamity, she still helped him and saved his life, blocking the calamity for him."
"Just now you said that after Xie Ling fell into the lake at the age of nine, scars always appeared on his body for no reason, huh..."
Ye You's eyes were cold and gloomy: "You might as well think about it carefully. Is it from that day on that you started to curse your poor little daughter day and night all the time?"
"You hate her for being born, you hate her existence, you think she is a stain on you, you think she killed your son, you wish she would never see the light of day, die in hell, and never be able to escape?"
With every word Ye You spoke, Chu's face turned paler.
Her throat was so dry that she could hardly speak. Her mind was in turmoil and she shook her head as if she was grasping at her last straw.
She didn't dare admit it, let alone believe it.
"Even if I cursed her, so what?! What does this have to do with Ling'er being injured?!"
"Idiot." Ye You rolled his eyes and couldn't continue.
Qingwu is now tired of watching plays and operas.
"You are her mother, and you are bound by blood to her. Your words can be sharp. You think you are just cursing to vent your anger, but you don't know that every evil word you say is a stab at your child."
"The irony is that both children are yours, one dead and one born. You loved and cherished Xie Ling, but you hurt and hated the other child."
Qing Wu's voice was cold and mocking: "It just so happens that the souls of these two children are dependent on each other. All your cruelty to the other child has backfired on Xie Ling!"
"Xie Ling is innocent, and the child is also innocent."
"Only you, Chu."
"From the beginning to the end, you were the one who killed the girl and harmed the boy."
