Chapter 444 Memories 2
Don't worry too much about what others think.
"Because you live for yourself."
"He said I was great, and that the woodwork I did was the most exquisite design he had ever seen."
"So, after I figured it out, I even made a crossbow and gave it to the late Crown Prince."
The Crown Prince was overjoyed when he received it, and praised me highly, calling me a genius.
"They say that if this crossbow were used on the battlefield, it would definitely be twice as effective with half the effort."
As Guan Zhixin spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Do you know how happy I was at that moment?
“I was never treated like a human being at home since I was a child. My family and the people around me all said I was an idiot, an idiot who only knew how to study wood.”
"However, the late Crown Prince did not think so. He said I was a genius and tried everything he could to help and encourage me."
"So, at that time, I regarded him as my master and my role model."
"And Master Fu, what an amazing person he is."
She never respected me, and every now and then she would give me a blueprint and ask me to make some strange, yet amazing, things.
"She also said that I was born to be a carpenter, and only I could make these things. She would praise me and encourage me every day, which made me feel that my life had meaning."
"But these two wonderful people were killed by Shen Wanshan and Jiang Xianhao!"
Guan Zhixin's face was contorted with rage, his expression filled with resentment.
“Young master, do you know that Shen Hechuan is the son of your father and mother’s killers?”
"He's the one who killed them."
"You even had his child, and you want to be with him, to be his queen!"
"How can you do this to your parents?"
Gu Jingchun paused, sighed, and then continued speaking.
"The victor is king, the loser is villain; this has been the truth since ancient times. Moreover, the actual facts still need to be investigated."
Your words are all one-sided. I will investigate the specific truth, but I'm sure it's not entirely as you think.
Guan Zhixin never expected that Gu Jingchun would not believe her, and her face immediately turned ferocious.
"What did you say?"
"You don't believe me?"
"Back then, Shen Wanshan rebelled and forced the emperor to abdicate, resulting in the death of the former crown prince. Everyone knows this. The facts are right in front of you, yet you still don't believe it?"
Guan Zhixin's face was contorted with madness.
Do you know how much effort we went through to save your life?
This was also what Gu Jingchun wanted to know, so he directly said, "I don't know."
"Not only do I not know these things, but I also don't know who Mei Xueli is."
Upon hearing Mei Xueli's name, Guan Zhixin, who was almost driven to madness, instantly calmed down.
"Mei Xueli..."
"She, like me, is a person with a tragic fate."
"A poor man who suffered from poverty since childhood, was bullied at home, and was eventually sold to the Yong'an Marquis's mansion."
"She also suffered a lot of bullying, even though she is now working in the Yong'an Marquis's mansion, and even though she has given almost all of her monthly allowance to her parents."
However, when she went back to visit her relatives, her parents drugged her and sent her to an old man's bed.
At that time, she was utterly despondent and wanted to end her miserable life.
He met Fu Shiyu when he was on the verge of death.
She saved her, which was to tell her that a woman should live for herself, since her family could not be her help, could not provide her with love, and could not provide her with a haven.
Then we should abandon it without hesitation.
After all, for the past twenty years, she had given everything she had to that family.
"Therefore, from now on, I can only live for myself."
"Later, the former crown prince died, and Fu Shiyu used all her strength to give birth to this child."
"However, at that time, Fu Shiyu had no one left to rely on."
"I used all my strength to escape while holding this child, and then I ran into Mei Xueli who was trying to sneak in."
"After learning the whole story, she looked at the child and made a bold decision."
"At that time, it happened to be the time when the Lady of Yong'an Marquis was giving birth."
"So she gave herself a bowl of labor-inducing drugs and forced herself to give birth to her premature child."
"After that, she secretly switched your child with the child of the Lady of Yong'an Marquis."
"After that, I pretended to be a Taoist priest and deduced that you were a jinx."
"The Marquis of Yong'an and his wife are afraid that you will affect the Marquis of Yong'an's residence."
Therefore, when Mei Xueli wanted to switch you again, not only did you not stop her, but you also secretly protected her, making it easier for her to take you away.
"And you'll know what happened after that."
After Guan Zhixin finished speaking, Gu Jingchun remained silent for a long time before slowly opening his mouth.
"Then what about Mother... Mei Xueli's original child?"
"Dead."
“A baby that is not full-term has no chance of survival after it is born; it will naturally die.”
Gu Jingchun looked up abruptly and suddenly remembered that in the past, Mei Xueli would always look at her and sigh, or stare blankly at her, as if looking at other people through her.
Later, after her rebirth, she thought Mei Xueli was looking at Gu Yunjin.
However, only now does she realize that Mei Xueli was looking at her own child who died shortly after birth.
Presumably, seeing Gu Jingchun grow up day by day, there must have been a moment when he suddenly thought that if his own child were still alive, he would have grown up in the same way, and wondered if he would have grown up to look like this!
I wonder if I'll ever act cute or affectionate with her.
But Mei Xueli will never know any of this.
Gu Jingchun slowly closed his eyes to relieve the soreness.
After a long pause, he finally managed to speak.
"Why...why did you do this..."
Guan Zhixin suddenly raised her voice.
"Of course, it's all for this day!"
"So that you can grow up smoothly and safely, so that you can return to Tiandu in a natural way."
"Only in this way can you better seek revenge, right?"
“Look, young master, I’ve arranged everything since you were a child.”
“You are as clever as your master. You not only learned my carpentry skills, but you can also apply what you've learned to other things and have mastered all kinds of weapons, even the art of divination.”
"And I have secretly built a powerful team for you!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun finally sighed and spoke.
"So, the Guiyuan Sect is yours?"
Guan Zhixin shook his head.
"It's not mine."
Gu Jingchun was surprised for a moment, and before he could speak, Guan Zhixin continued, "It's you!"
