Wang Jingtao was not at all surprised by Song Zaizhao's reaction.
After all, it wasn't me who grew up with her all these years. Even a cat or a dog will develop feelings for each other after spending so much time together, let alone a person.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Your attitude really didn't surprise me."
"It turns out that blood ties between siblings can indeed be replaced."
Song Zaizhao then realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to make amends, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant."
Wang Jingtao interrupted her, "You don't need to explain, I understand."
"But you have to understand, it was my father and mother who caused this situation. I was young at the time, and none of this was what I wanted. Do you think I could have survived if this had been exposed?"
"The instigators of that time are all gone. Now, only I, the beneficiary who seized everything from the other side, am still in this world. At that time, all the guns will be aimed at me."
"I don't want to harm anyone, but I need to be wary of others harming me."
"If you were him, and your promising life of wealth and honor was stolen away, and your loved ones were still alive and had a great influence on your career, would you be willing to accept it?"
Wang Jingtao looked directly into Song Zaizhao's eyes and said, "You shouldn't be afraid of what I might do to him, but rather you should be worried about what he might do to me!"
Song Zaizhao's face instantly tightened, filled with worry. "You, you said he would, he would..."
Wang Jingtao sneered, "What do you think?"
"I think even my parents in the afterlife wouldn't want all the careful planning they put in at the risk of separation from their child to end up harming me, right?"
Wang Jingtao successfully brainwashed Song Zaizhao, portraying himself as someone who was powerless, innocent, and about to be persecuted.
And this innocent person was Song Zaizhao's own brother, someone her parents had gone to great lengths to protect.
Without the slightest hesitation, Song Zaizhao asked, "What do you want to know?"
Wang Jingtao's eyes darkened. "Everything, everything."
"Including his personality and hobbies, the people he cares about, and all his upbringing experiences."
"Okay, I'll tell you!"
Xiao Yuehua knew she could use the sound of the stream to cover up the noise she made, but she didn't expect that the sound of the stream could also completely cover up the voices of that adulterous couple.
Helpless, she could only lie there and watch their every move. Whenever they hugged or started taking off their clothes, she would catch them red-handed.
His gaze swept over Wang Jingtao from head to toe. "That physique must look really good when he takes his clothes off, right?"
"Huh, what am I thinking?" Xiao Yuehua slapped herself.
He's so muscular, it must hurt a lot when he hits someone. I might not even be able to catch him by myself. It would be best if I could take their clothes with me.
After lying prone in the damp ditch for a while, the two people on the other side still didn't move, but their conversation became more and more animated.
Xiao Yuehua became increasingly curious. What were they talking about? Could it be that instead of having an affair, they were plotting to steal the Xiao family's money and grain and elope?
It's no wonder Xiao Yuehua thought that way; something similar had happened in the next village.
She quickly surveyed the surrounding terrain, carefully navigating around the bends, and approached the two from behind.
When she got within two meters of the two of them, she was finally able to vaguely hear their conversation.
"After our parents passed away, my sister and I basically cut off all contact with him."
"I don't know much about what happened after that. I only know that he ran away on his own a few years ago, and then he came back. That's when everyone found out that he had joined the army."
"As for his interests and weaknesses, it's been so many years, I'm not really sure. He's always aloof and unapproachable to everyone. In the brigade, he's only been decent to my aunt and my cousin Siqing."
Xiao Yuehua was taken aback. Where was this Song boy they were talking about?
Song Zaizhao paused for a moment, then said, "Oh, right, he has a girlfriend named Su Qingci. I heard she came to Kyoto with him this time!"
"If you want to find his weakness, this is probably the only one. He cares a lot about this girl!"
Song Zaizhao hesitated for a moment, then added, "If, and I mean if, he didn't hurt you, could you please not provoke him?"
"He's not as simple as he seems on the surface; he managed to get through those difficult years..."
"Don't worry about it. I'm just worried about you. He's the kind of person who always seeks revenge. I'm afraid you'll get hurt!"
Xiao Yuehua's mind was completely blank listening to their conversation. She had come to catch them cheating, but then it turned into eavesdropping on their elopement plan. Now, it seemed like they were plotting against Song Jingzhou. And how did they even drag Su Qingci into it?
Xiao Yuehua shuffled forward again, trying to get a little closer.
"Crack!"
"who!!!"
Xiao Yuehua didn't know what she was thinking, but she suddenly felt a strong sense of danger, which made her heart stop for a few seconds.
She rolled quickly into the reeds, and sure enough, a military dagger was stuck in the spot where she had just been crawling.
Terrified, her liver trembled. Without thinking, she ducked and ran quickly into the depths of the reeds.
Wang Jingtao, like a cheetah in the deep mountains, quickly chased after the enemy. However, the reeds, taller than a person, blocked his view. The further he chased, the deeper the mud became, and now it had completely submerged his feet.
"Thump!"
In a desperate attempt to survive, Xiao Yuehua plunged headlong into the riverbank, following the direction she remembered.
