Chapter 375 Has she jumped from one fire pit to another?
Gou Dan felt heartbroken when he heard Wei Cheng'er say that. "Why would I kill you? You haven't harmed me, nor have you broken any laws or regulations."
Wei Cheng'er looked at Gou Dan seriously and said, "Because I will threaten you. Not only am I incredibly strong, but I am also almost demonically intelligent."
Dog Egg chuckled. "No matter how strong you are, can you be stronger than a thousand soldiers? No matter how smart you are, can you manipulate everyone in the world?"
Wei Cheng'er: "...No."
Gou Dan ruffled Wei Cheng'er's hair. "Only someone who's both incompetent and stupid would see you as a threat. Someone as capable and intelligent as me wouldn't see you as a threat. I'd only wonder why such an outstanding child isn't mine."
“Wah…” Wei Cheng’er couldn’t help but cry. “My grandmother was afraid that my grandfather would pass the Wei family’s title to me, my mother was afraid that my grandfather would use all the Wei family’s resources on me, and my aunt was afraid that my grandfather would give all the Wei family’s property to me. They all wanted me dead.”
"I have a minor illness, but it just won't get better."
"I found it strange, so I started to investigate secretly."
"And guess what I found out?"
“I found out that my grandmother added something to my medicine. My aunt not only opened my window while I was sleeping, but also made a little doll with my birth date and time on it and put it under a stone.”
“My mother knew perfectly well that I had a problem with my illness, but she just ignored it.”
"They all want me dead! They all want me dead!"
In the end, Wei Cheng'er couldn't help but shout.
Gou Dan hugged Wei Cheng'er tightly. "It's alright, it's all over now."
Wei Cheng'er nestled in Gou Dan's arms and cried even harder. "How could they treat me like that? I'm their own flesh and blood."
While patting Wei Cheng'er's back, Gou Dan said, "Because they are narrow-minded, because they are both stupid and vicious."
"Wow……"
Wei Cheng'er cried for a while before stopping. "How did I give myself away?"
After wiping Wei Cheng'er's face clean with a handkerchief, Gou Dan said, "You didn't give yourself away."
Wei Cheng'er blinked. "Then how did you know I was pretending to be stupid?"
"Sister Hei can read faces. Your face tells her you haven't been burned stupid."
"..." Wei Cheng'er never expected the loophole to be there. "You're right, no matter how smart I am, I can't possibly manipulate everyone in the world."
"Mm." Gou Dan poured Wei Cheng'er a glass of water. "Drink some water."
Wei Cheng'er took the water glass. "Thank you."
Wei Cheng'er was thirsty after crying for so long.
After a while, Wei Cheng'er finished drinking the water.
"Want some more?"
"drink."
"Then I'll pour you another glass."
"good."
This time, Wei Cheng'er didn't drink as fast as before. "Were you angry when you realized I was pretending to be stupid?"
“Yeah.” Gou Dan pinched Wei Cheng’er’s little nose. “I wanted to go and settle the score with you back then, but I was afraid you would kick me out like a wild boar.”
"Hehe...you're not afraid of me at all. My grandfather told me you're very good at martial arts."
"I am good at martial arts. But isn't there a saying that brute force can overcome any technique? By the way, were you really running a fever or faking it?"
“I really have a fever. I was already sick, and then I found out that my grandmother, my mother, and my aunt all wanted me dead, so I got even sicker.”
“My grandfather saw that I was very ill, so he invited the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Academy to come. Everyone knows that the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Academy is very skilled. My grandmother was afraid that the chief physician of the Imperial Medical Academy would find out that she was plotting against her own granddaughter, so she dared not add anything to my medicine.”
"My aunt was also afraid that the Imperial Medical Academy would find out that I was not getting better because I caught a cold, so she dared not open my window anymore."
"I started pretending to be stupid as soon as I recovered, so they wouldn't hurt me again. When they came to see me after I pretended to be stupid, they laughed so happily."
Gou Dan hugged Wei Cheng'er and gently patted her back. "It's all in the past. From now on, you're my little follower. Let's see who dares to hurt you!"
Wei Cheng'er sniffed. "Before I got sick, I felt that my grandmother, my mother, and my aunt didn't like me. But I didn't want to believe it. In the end, they actually tried to take advantage of my illness to kill me."
Wei Cheng'er rested her head on Gou Dan's shoulder. "I was in so much pain, so much pain, so much pain."
Who wouldn't feel upset in that situation?
Perhaps this is the price of genius.
Dog Egg conjured up a piece of candy. "Do you want to tell your grandfather?" The Duke of Wei was a good man, but unfortunately, he married a foolish wife. And that foolish wife found him two more foolish daughters-in-law.
Wei Cheng'er put the candy in her mouth. "I don't want to. My grandfather really loves me. He'd be heartbroken if I told him his wife and daughter-in-law wanted me dead. And..."
"what else?"
After finishing the candy, Wei Cheng'er said, "I don't know if my father and uncle also wanted me to die? I was young and sick at the time, so they couldn't find out much."
Gou Dan could find out, but he couldn't bear to say it. "Then we won't tell your grandfather."
"Hmm. I don't know what my father and uncle are thinking, but the way they look at me is exactly the same as my grandmother and the others."
Gou Dan gave Wei Cheng'er another piece of candy. "Don't think about them anymore, they're not worth your trouble. When we get back to the capital, I'll tell everyone I took you to see the miracle doctor, okay?"
"No, I want to keep playing dumb."
Dog Egg pinched Wei Cheng'er's little nose. "Are you getting addicted to pretending to be stupid?"
"hey-hey……"
"Alright. Tell me when you're ready to stop pretending, and I'll conjure up a miracle doctor for you."
