Luo Lan sighed, and seeing Huaiyu waiting there quietly, she reminded him again:
"I tell you this just to let you know what kind of person he is, so that you know what kind of person you should be."
Huaiyu nodded gently, and Luo Lan began to recall quietly.
"Back then, your father was the crown prince. He was second only to the emperor and the people, and he could cover the sky with one hand. However, he did not use his power to benefit the people. Instead, he constantly brought disaster to the people, making them suffer unspeakably."
At this point, she sighed deeply.
"I won't mention the harm he caused to the people today. I'll only talk about the matter related to your mother...
Later, he saw your mother on his way out of town to hunt. At that time, your mother was already married and had given birth to a boy. If he were still alive, he would have been around seventeen or eighteen years old.
"These years of lawlessness have made your father develop a habit. Once he sets his eyes on a woman, he will definitely take her home. Even though your mother was already married, she still couldn't escape his clutches. He took your mother back and locked her up in Prince Xi's Mansion. To stop your mother from thinking about leaving Prince Xi's Mansion, he brutally killed your mother's previous husband and children. He also claimed to your mother that he gave them a sum of money so that they could live a good life..."
At this point, Luo Lan seemed to think of Leng Yun's ferocious look, and suddenly gnashed his teeth in hatred.
Huaiyu seemed not to understand and shook her head vigorously.
"How could my father be such a person? Is what you said true?"
Luo Lan looked at Huaiyu, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, and continued:
"You can doubt the truth of what I say, but you have to wait until I finish speaking before interrupting me."
Huaiyu nodded and closed her mouth. Luo Lan sighed again.
"Later, when your mother became pregnant with you, Leng Yun kept lying to her, saying that after you were born, he would set her free and let her find her man and child. Your mother believed him until one day, she discovered Leng Yun's lies. You were born at that time."
"I was the one who delivered her baby, and that's why I adopted you later."
Although Huaiyu was a little skeptical, he still bit his lip and asked:
"Then...how did my father and mother die?"
"Your mother discovered your father's evil deeds and killed him in front of us. Before she died, she entrusted you to me and asked me to help her raise you. Her eyes made it impossible for me to refuse, and I couldn't bear to refuse. I promised her and couldn't regret it. That's why I insisted on adopting you."
When Luo Lan said this, he suddenly looked at Huaiyu.
"I tell you this because I want you to know that your father has done many evil things and is deeply detestable. You are his child, but you grew up with us. You will definitely not be like him, right?"
Huaiyu clenched his fists, trembling all over and lowering his head.
Wu Yuanzhang had spoken about his parents, but his account was not comprehensive enough, and he never mentioned that his father was an unforgivable criminal.
Now he suddenly didn't know whether Luo Lan's words were true or false.
Seeing that he had been silent, Luo Lan took a deep breath and reminded him seriously:
"Your uncle Xiaoling was injured, your uncle Xiaoshuang died, and your uncle Agang was ambushed again. These three things that happened in succession are all related to you. If you want to say these were accidents now, no one will believe you. So, tell me, were you instigated or used by someone? What methods did they use to threaten you? If you didn't mean to harm anyone, I can ask your father to forgive you. But if you don't tell the truth, when your father finds out that this incident is related to you, I won't be able to help you."
Luo Lan's eyes were filled with sincerity and concern, and Huaiyu's heart was beating fast.
"Huaiyu, you only have this one chance, and it only lasts half an hour. When your father reappears in front of you and me later, it will be too late for you to say anything..."
"Your father and I raised you for fourteen years. Aside from not letting you become the crown prince, we've never treated you differently. If you truly harbor a grudge about this, I have no way to explain it to you. I can only tell you that it's best not to think about things that don't belong to you. Just like Crown Prince Leng Yun, your biological father, who, in order to maintain his crown prince position, caused your father to be paralyzed in bed for three years..."
"How many three years can a person have in a lifetime? Your father hated him, but he remembered their brotherly love. After he recovered, he didn't kill him or seek revenge on him. However, he committed so many evil things that your mother raised the knife and killed him."
At this point, Luo Lan once again recalled the scene of that year.
"My child, it's been over ten years since this happened, but I'll always remember what your mother said to me before she died. She said she trusted no one but me, and she wanted me to raise her child. I've fulfilled my promise, but if her child harms someone close to me, I'll truly regret it. Was my decision the right one..."
At this point, Luo Lan bit her lips with some sadness.
"It's understandable that you can't accept these things right now. However, there's someone who knows this better than me. He's the one who built the tombstone and swept the grave for your mother, whom I told you about last time. You have to call him uncle. Do you want to meet him?"
He had heard his mother mention this uncle several times, but he had never had the chance to meet him. He nodded timidly.
Luo Lan shouted to the door,
"Dazhi, come out!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Dazhi walked out from the door. After not seeing him for a few years, his face looked more vicissitudes of life.
It turned out that when Luo Lan learned that these things might be related to Huaiyu, he thought that he might have been instigated and used by someone to misinterpret the cause of his parents' death, which made him take cruel actions against the people in Prince Yu's Mansion.
So I thought of asking Dazhi to come and confirm some things.
"Princess, please accept my humble respect."
Seeing Dazhi whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Luo Lan stood up excitedly and walked towards him. He looked him up and down and nodded excitedly.
"Dazhi, I haven't seen you for many years. You've grown up and seem much more mature. How have you been these years?"
Dazhi had a faint smile on his face. "Everything is fine. I've started a family and taken over the family business. I live a comfortable and warm life. However, I often think of you, Princess. I want to visit you, but I'm afraid to disturb you."
As he said this, he looked at Huaiyu who was standing there with his hands hanging down, and asked excitedly:
"This child..."
Luo Lan nodded.
"Yes, he is your sister Xiaoyu's child. In order to let him not forget his mother, I gave him a nickname, Huaiyu."
She waved to Huaiyu again,
"Come here quickly, Kuaiyu, and meet your uncle Dazhi."
Huaiyu glanced at Dazhi, moved his feet, came in front of him, clasped his hands together, and said hesitantly:
"Hello, uncle..."
