Chapter 199: Recovering Memory and Child-Raised Husband
At that moment, many images flashed through the swordsman's mind.
He was treated coldly by his aunt as a child, and was sent to a secret place for training when he was young. When he grew up, he became a highly skilled assassin as his father wished...
The last scene freezes on Yu Bo’s painful yet determined face in the cave that night after his life story was exposed.
"Master, don't blame me, this old servant. If you want to blame someone, blame your bad luck. It was you who was changed from a legitimate child to a concubine's child at birth."
"The Second Young Master is the heir to the family carefully cultivated by the Master and his wife, and you are merely a substitute shadow and a tool for his career."
"Even if the exchange is exposed now, and the Second Young Master's mother has died to atone for her crime, the Master and the Madam do not intend to waste their efforts to get her back. To prevent you from harboring resentment towards the Second Young Master and leaving hidden dangers, I have no choice but to ask you to report to the underground first, Eldest Young Master!"
Yu Bo has always been kind to the swordsman, so naturally he wanted him to die with a clear conscience.
Unfortunately, Yu Bo overlooked that he was not only facing the young master he had watched grow up, but also a killer who was brutally trained by an underworld organization.
How could a killer, especially an ace killer, be easily knocked down by an ordinary person with drugs and then killed?
The Chinese medicine he took was real, his injuries were real, but the claim that he was powerless to resist was fake.
He just wanted to know why Yu Bo betrayed him.
It turns out that the other party has always been his father's confidant, and the person he truly loves is naturally his father. He is just an unlucky person and abandoned child abandoned by his father, that's all.
The truth chilled him to the bone. Just as he was lying in the cave bleeding from his injuries, feeling dejected and helpless, the chestnut horse that had always been with him unexpectedly brought him a touch of warmth.
When those impressive eyes looked into the cave as their owner tilted his head, he suddenly didn't want to disappear from the world anymore.
There is such beauty in the world. Those who occupy other people's nests and even cruelly kill their own children can survive, so why can't he?
So he was saved by her and followed her to the small town...
"Okay, you're awake." Doctor Liu retracted the silver needle and nodded to the swordsman who opened his eyes on the bed.
The swordsman noticed the familiar consulting room and said, "I have recovered my memory, miracle doctor."
Doctor Liu was not surprised at all and said that this was a diagnostic and treatment method he had tested on many killers, and it seemed to be quite effective.
"Where is she?" The swordsman remembered that before he lost consciousness, he heard Rong Zhen's scream as she ran in from the courtyard gate.
Of course, there is also the voice of that annoying Xi Xiucai.
Divine Doctor Liu cleaned his tools and gestured outside, "Wait outside the door. He seems to care about you. He almost devoured that scholar who followed him. Are you really confused by his words?"
He already knew the true identity of the person in front of him—the top assassin trained by Full Moon Tower!
Can you be stimulated by a few words from a little scholar?
Swordsman: "It's just a coincidence."
It is not convenient to talk about the real reason. Now he is more concerned about Rongzhen who is staying with that man outside the door.
The person being thought of was arguing with Xi Xiucai at the moment, and said in a bad tone: "Xi Xiucai, you are not welcome here, you'd better go back."
The ancients paid attention to subtlety, especially those who could read and write. When common people interacted with them, they would subconsciously behave more elegantly and would not express their disgust clearly.
But Rongzhen expressed her dislike for Xi Xiucai without any hesitation.
First, I was really angry that the other party caused my adopted brother to faint.
The second is to take the opportunity to distance themselves from each other and cut off the possibility of friendship.
Xi Xiucai's face was slightly hurt, and he patiently explained to her: "Miss Song, please believe me, I didn't do anything to my brother."
Rong Zhen raised her hand to interrupt, frowning and emphasizing, "What big brother? He's my brother, what does it have to do with you? Don't call him that."
She had stated this many times, but Xi Xiucai insisted that it was his elder brother, saying that his elder brother's name was Xi Shu, and that he had ended up in the underworld due to an accident.
When Rongzhen heard the name, he couldn't help but twitch his lips while confirming that they were true brothers.
Not only did you make up your own name, but you also removed a character from the swordsman's name. What are you trying to do? Do you really think that just because he has no memory, he is a fool who can be manipulated at will?
Apparently not.
"No." A resounding rebuttal echoed from the room. Then, a tall, imposing swordsman stepped out, stood before Rong Zhen, and denied to Xi Xiucai, who looked expectant. "I'm not your elder brother. My dear brother, you've got the wrong person."
Xi Xiucai blurted out: "Impossible, you look a bit like your father, and a bit like me too!"
Just then, Divine Doctor Liu came out after washing his hands and offered his opinion in a very professional manner: "There are so many people in the world who look alike. People born in the same place and sharing the same eating habits will more or less look alike. If you judge kinship based solely on this, I'm afraid it's not advisable."
Rong Zhen nodded repeatedly in agreement, secretly observing the reaction of the person in front of him.
Even though she already roughly knew that they were most likely new brothers, she would not rashly help him recognize any blood relatives.
Not to mention Xi Xiucai's identity as the male protagonist, he would occasionally use people related to him as cannon fodder. Just the fact that Jianke, as a young master of a wealthy family, could be trained to become a killer in the martial arts world, the reasons behind this are probably not simple.
So whether or not to recognize this person is not something that can be decided by Xi Xiucai just saying a few words. It depends on the swordsman's own intention.
The swordsman's attitude was clear; he refused to acknowledge him. "I don't know who Xi Shu you're talking about. My name is Song Jingshu."
He has a name, a surname, a background, and a family. He has nothing to do with Xi Shu, Xi Jingshu, or Gui Ren.
After the setup some time ago, the Full Moon Tower was basically no longer a threat, and the Jade Rabbit Hall had also become a thing of the past. Whether it was the young master of a noble family, Xi Jingshu, or the ace killer, Ghost Blade, they all disappeared.
He is now just Song Jingshu from the Song residence in Hongye Town, a child son-in-law who was raised with his future wife's surname.
Master Huang and Yuan Que, who were quietly joining in the fun, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of tea.
Ahem, what is a child-raised son-in-law? What kind of child-raised son-in-law?
Rongzhen was also shocked and stared at him in amazement, not understanding how he could so naturally give himself such an identity, and not knowing whether to expose him immediately.
Before she could make a move, Jingshu took her hand and half-huggled her into a hug, making his position clear: "You don't have to deny it. I have recovered my memory and know clearly that I am not your sworn brother, but your future partner who grew up with you as a child."
Rongzhen: “…”
She had just come up with her second innovation, and this guy came up with version 3.0 of his nonsense. If she wanted to deny what he said, she would have to overturn his previous two lies.
Suddenly I feel like I'm picking up a rock and smashing it on my feet. What can I do?
Considering that the male protagonist was there and they had a common 'enemy', she decided not to sabotage them for now and would settle the score with him later!
The male protagonist Xi Xiucai was stunned. He probably didn't expect Jingshu to do such a bold move. He would rather admit that he was a child son-in-law and refused to acknowledge his identity as the eldest brother.
Xi Xiucai, who was puzzled and doubtful whether he had recognized the wrong person, was quickly asked to leave by Master Huang. Doctor Liu and his disciples also left very tactfully to continue detoxifying the killers. Suddenly, only Rong Zhen and Jing Shu were left at the scene.
Rongzhen immediately pushed Jingshu away and asked him suspiciously, "Have you really recovered your memory?"
"Of course." Jingshu reluctantly let go of her arm and instead twisted the decorative ribbon around her waist, which was sticky like a broken lotus root.
If this wasn't really the man in front of her, and if they hadn't been in love in the cotinus forest before he lost his memory, Rong Zhen would have thought he had been replaced because he suddenly became like this.
Still, she gestured suspiciously at him.
Jingshu didn't understand what was going on, but he still followed her instructions and leaned over obediently.
Seeing how obedient he was, Rong Zhen's anger subsided a little. She twisted his temples with her fingers and pulled them, but found no trace of him wearing a human skin mask.
Jingshu let her do what she wanted, and took the opportunity to rub his forehead against hers, whispering to her ears like he did that day on the branches of the sumac.
"Zhenzhen, I'm sorry I came back and made you worry..."
"Who's worried about you? You're just being sentimental!"
After Rongzhen confirmed that he was not someone else in disguise, and that he had truly recovered his memory and turned into the Jingshu who confessed to her, she immediately turned hostile, snorted coldly, and turned to walk out.
