"I am a witch. Since I tasted all the poisonous weeds and poisons in the world when I was young, I am no longer suitable for bearing children."
"When I was with Pei Lang, I never thought about having my own children."
"It just so happened...it just so happened that after Doctor Pei was poisoned, I would have the opportunity to become my mother..."
"At that time, I thought this might be an opportunity. If I use this child's blood to make medicine after it's born, will it be possible to completely cure Pei Lang's poison without endangering his life?"
"I had no expectations of her, so I never thought that during the ten months of conceiving him, I would gradually develop a sense of affection for her..."
"After giving birth to Guli, she was normal at first. But as she grew older, she would burst into tears or become uncontrollably anxious and excited whenever she saw Pei Lang. Later, it wasn't just Pei Lang; any other man would cause her emotions to completely spiral out of control."
"Once she even bit Pei Lang's finger, grabbed the bleeding spot and started sucking it."
"Pei Lang and I only then realized that Gu Lixu was affected by the poison and was born with a blood-madness disease."
"But the difference is that Guli doesn't have seizures all the time, she just can't see people of the opposite sex."
"To prevent her from harming others, to keep her hidden from the world, and to prevent Pei Lang from harming Guli when he became ill, I placed her in... that dungeon."
"She's been locked up in a place where she never sees the sun year after year since she was one year old... How pitiful!"
"At first I visited her every day, then only every month... Then, I couldn't bear to see her anymore and she cried and begged me to take her away and see the world... I... I started visiting her even less and less."
"She's a poor child. Pei Lang and I really feel guilty towards her... Wuwuwu..."
Zaina covered her face and burst into tears.
Old Madam Pei looked at Li Qingluo in surprise.
She obviously already knew who this Guli was.
Li Qingluo nodded to her grandmother.
Indeed, the facts were as he thought. Butterfly was Guli, the daughter of the old Duke and Zaina, and his grandmother's niece.
Zaina was unaware of the exchange of expressions between the two of them and continued crying, "Five years ago, when my sister found me, she told me she had seen Guli in the dungeon."
"Because I was already under Pei Lang's influence at that time, I often had difficulty moving. So when my sister said...that Guli had been locked up and driven mad, and had fallen seriously ill and died, I was powerless to do anything. I couldn't even go see her in person!"
"I asked Sanlang, and he didn't deny it, so I took it seriously!"
"So, Guli is not dead. Is she really not dead?"
"But, but how could she become what Luo'er described, with her teeth falling out, her hair falling out, her appearance horrible, and her body covered in scars!?"
"Sanlang, what on earth is going on?!"
Zaina seemed unable to bear it any longer, and she stumbled to her feet, rushing to Pei Sanlang to ask for clarification.
Seeing this, the old Duke sweatdropped and said, "Zaina! Come back——"
Zaina then stopped.
She turned around and looked at the old Duke with resentment: "Pei Lang, you still have to protect Sanlang, right? She is also your own blood, your daughter!!"
"Shouldn't I get this straight?"
The old Duke coughed heavily a few times: "I know, don't worry... Come back!"
Zaina stood there without moving.
Just staring blankly with tears streaming down my face.
In the past few years, she has almost been lying down and unable to move.
Her mind was always clear.
When she thought about her life, the person she thought about most was Guli.
That was her only flesh and blood in this world...
What did she do to her?
Even when she was growing up, he never hugged her properly or loved her.
Just because she was born with that strange disease, she has always disliked her own daughter in her heart!
But that disease was ultimately caused by herself and Pei Lang, which was why she was born to suffer like this!
They witches shouldn't have such intentions.
If you do it intentionally, you will continue to erode the conscience you have worked so hard to develop...
Only when a person is completely bad will he avoid having feelings that will hurt himself.
Zaina shook her head: "Pei Lang, if Guli wasn't dead, I wouldn't be able to listen to you."
Duke Pei was furious: "What do you want to do?!"
Zaina asked Pei Sanlang first: "I'm asking you again, are you going to tell me or not? What did you do to Guli?!"
She walked out.
Upon seeing this, the old Duke immediately shouted, "Zaina——!"
"Sanlang, why don't you tell her the truth?!"
"Saburo!"
In a fit of rage, the old Duke coughed violently again, and even turned his head and spat out a mouthful of black blood.
He was furious...
Zaina seemed to have not heard his movement at all, and walked towards Pei Sanlang with a cold look in her eyes.
The old Duke behind him was treated in a chaotic manner by Doctor Luo and Doctor Du.
Pei Sanlang saw the murderous intent in her eyes, and then he laughed.
"It's not me you should hate."
"It was your sister who said that your daughter has a congenitally poisonous body. She is the best medicinal material in the world and also the best mother Gu in the world."
"So, she personally used your daughter's teeth, hair, and even her flesh and blood to refine many strange pills and even poison techniques."
"She also said that your daughter is a freak, so there's no need to treat her like a human being. Just lock her up among the dead, give her a meal every few days, and let her live or die."
Zaina went crazy hearing this.
She completely collapsed like a madman and raised her hands to hit Pei Sanlang.
"She is my biological sister, why would she treat me like this, why—"
