Zhao Luyan went out and saw that Granny Li had closed the door. She felt upset. They were about to part soon, and she didn't know when they would meet again. Granny Li didn't look happy just now. Did she not believe that she could succeed? After so many years, could it be that he still could not see his own ability? The more this was the case, the more confident Zhao Luyan was. She swore that she would succeed. Thinking of Granny Li's request just now, Zhao Luyan decided to go back and tell Xi Mei to get ready and leave with Granny Li tomorrow. Just as she was about to leave, she saw a familiar figure walking over. Father? Why did she suddenly come over? Was he looking for Granny Li? Zhao Luyan wanted to see what he wanted to do, so she hid and observed in secret.
"It's you?" Granny Li didn't expect Zhao Shengming to come in as soon as Zhao Luyan left. Did Zhao Shengming notice Zhao Luyan? After calculating the time, he felt that Zhao Luyan had already left and Zhao Shengming couldn't have found out. He was relieved and looked at Zhao Shengming calmly. She knew that she would not be able to live through today.
"Luyan is going to enter the palace tomorrow. She arranged it herself.”Zhao Shengming looked at her and smiled proudly." She came over to tell you just now, right?”
"Yes, he looks very happy. He should be willing, but I'm not happy at all.”Granny Li turned to look at Zhao Shengming and said hatefully," Zhao Shengming, I didn't expect you to use your own daughter. Don't you think it's too cruel?"”
"Every man for himself. She's my daughter, so she has to do things for me willingly. I've spent so much effort on her all these years. It's time for me to repay her. Especially now, someone is threatening my position and wants to kill me. She is my daughter, so she should do something for me to protect my position.”
"Zhao Shengming, you are despicable." Granny Li scolded," You killed your wife and now you want to harm your daughter. If Zhao Luyan knew that her mother died in your hands, would she still work for you?”
"I have to thank you for that. If you hadn't kept it a secret for me, she might have known long ago.”Zhao Shengming approached Granny Li step by step.
"Looks like you're going to kill me today?”Granny Li directly told him his intention. When she saw him coming over, she instinctively retreated." Do you think that killing me will end this matter and Zhao Luyan won't know? Things that should be known would be known sooner or later, and killing people to silence them could not be hidden.”
"Is that so? But as far as I know, you're the only one who knows about that. I don't want to kill you either. It's all thanks to you that you've raised Zhao Luyan for the past twenty years. I'm very grateful. If you hadn't discovered my secret, I really wouldn't have killed you. As long as you're dead, Luyan wouldn't have known how her mother died.”Zhao Shengming suddenly took out a dagger and said fiercely to Granny Li," You were right about something just now. Kill them to silence them." Yes, I want to kill you today. Anyway, Luyan is leaving tomorrow. If you die now, as long as I don't say anything, Luyan won't know.”
"But she hasn't left today, and you can't wait to kill me. Aren't you too anxious?”Granny Li sneered." If she suddenly wants to see me tomorrow and you kill me, how are you going to explain yourself tomorrow? Zhao Shengming, I know you've always wanted to kill me, but you didn't do it for your daughter. If you want to kill me, you can wait until tomorrow, after Luyan leaves.”
Zhao Shengming realized that he was really too anxious. He put down the dagger and looked at her, trying his best to be calm."You're right. For Luyan, I shouldn't have killed you so early, but I couldn't just watch you escape from under my nose. You know my secret, so I couldn't let you live, just like the Four Guardian Deities. Actually, from the moment you stayed, I knew you weren't an ordinary nanny. Tell me, who are you and why are you in my house? What is your motive?"
"Lord Zhao, isn't it a little too late to ask this question now? You should have asked this question twenty years ago.”
"Actually, I wanted to kill you a long time ago. If I didn't see that you were honest and Luyan needed you so much, I would have killed you long ago. You're a smart person. Did you already know that I would kill you? Why are you still here?" Zhao Shengming pressed further," Also, I accidentally saw that butterfly dress in Luyan's room two days ago. Did you give it to her?”
"I gave it to you." Granny Li nodded. Her face was very calm, but her heart was pounding. When she handed the clothes to Zhao Luyan, she had repeatedly warned Zhao Shengming not to find out, but Zhao Shengming still saw it. No wonder Zhao Shengming suddenly came. It was because of this. Granny Li was not worried that Zhao Shengming would kill him because of this, but she was afraid that he would harm Zhao Luyan.
Zhao Luyan, who was standing at the door, wasn't afraid or surprised when she heard this because she did it on purpose. She wanted to know the secret of her parents and why Zhao Shengming wanted to kill her mother. Therefore, she deliberately placed the clothes in a conspicuous place, hoping that her father would notice and see his reaction. It had been a few days, but her father had not reacted. Zhao Luyan thought that her father had not noticed. Only now did she know that her father had long discovered it, but he had deliberately kept it a secret. It seemed that he did not want to fall out with her and disrupt his plan. His father was indeed meticulous. She was not his match. But now, he actually couldn't wait and took the initiative to look for Granny Li to punish him. He was probably afraid. It was obvious that his father was very nervous now and almost killed him just now. Fortunately, he didn't notice him. Perhaps he could find out some things he didn't know before by hiding here. Although she was worried about Granny Li's safety, Zhao Luyan was controlling herself. A little impatience could ruin a big plan. She had to calm down.
"Why did you give her this? Where did you get it?”Zhao Shengming asked.
"This is a relic left behind by Madam. She had instructed me to pass it to her when she grew up. Now that she has grown up, I should naturally follow the will and pass it to her. Lord Zhao, do you know that Miss Zhao looks exactly like Madam in this dress? When I first saw her like that, I almost blurted out and called her 'sister'.”After Granny Li finished speaking, she deliberately looked at Zhao Shengming.
"Sister? "Are you…" Zhao Shengming seemed to understand something.
"That's right, I'm your wife, Fang Yu 'er's sister, Fang Fu' er.”Granny Li finally said her real name. Zhao Luyan, who was at the door, was also shocked. This was the first time she had heard of it. Looking at Zhao Shengming's surprised face, Granny Li sneered," I know you haven't heard of this name because I wasn't there when you went to my house to propose marriage. Back then, my parents didn't agree to your marriage proposal. I didn't expect you to use your power to lock my parents up and torture them to death. If you hadn't raped my sister, she wouldn't have been with you. You got her, but not only did you not cherish her, you even suspected her and tortured her because she spoke to another man. She gave birth to a child for you. Just because it was a girl, you were dissatisfied and tortured her even more. She knew that she would definitely die in your hands. She was afraid that after she died, you would harm Luyan, so she asked me to come and take care of Luyan. In order not to let you find out, she asked me to change my name. Therefore, for so long, I endured humiliation and stayed in your house, hoping to see Luyan grow up safely. However, I didn't expect that she would still be used by you. You have succeeded. But let me tell you, Zhao Shengming, good and evil will be rewarded in the end. You've done so many bad things, so you'll suffer retribution sooner or later. Although I didn't tell Luyan how her mother died, I believe that one day she will find out. She won't let you off. I can tell you clearly that if you are finished one day, you will definitely fall into the hands of your daughter. Believe it or not, this is called reaping the consequences of your own actions.”
"I don't want to kill you, but you've angered me time and time again. How can I not attack you?”Zhao Shengming took out his dagger again and pointed it at Granny Li." I know you want to protect Luyan. I know it's not easy for you." But you also know my ability. If I want to kill you, I don't care who you are. I won't be merciful. Your sister is like this, and so are you.”
"Aren't you afraid that Zhao Luyan will find out?”
"That depends on you. Do you want her to know? I don't know what you've said to her in the past 20 years, but nothing has happened in the past 20 years. You know how ruthless I am. Although Luyan is very smart, her schemes are not as good as mine, and her thoughts are not as good as mine. If I find out that she has let me down in any way, I won't be merciful.”
"Zhao Shengming, she is your biological daughter.”Granny Li said sadly. Zhao Shengming was really crazy. He could even say such words.
"So what? For everything I want, I can do it at all costs.”Zhao Shengming said hatefully," Granny Li, didn't you want to protect Luyan? Fine, I'll grant your wish. I can let you commit suicide and die with dignity." But if I find out that you told her what you know and Luyan starts to deal with me, I won't let her off. At that time, I won't care about the relationship between father and daughter. As for what you choose, it's up to you.”After saying that, he threw down the dagger and walked out of the room.
Granny Li slowly picked it up and looked at it, not knowing what to do. She did not want to die out of instinct. But if he didn't die, Luyan would be in danger. What should he do? She thought about it and remembered what her sister had said. She must protect Luyan and must not let Zhao Shengming hurt her. Anyway, he was already so old. There was no point in living. After enduring humiliation for so many years, he had finally completed the mission his sister had given him. He could finally rest in peace. As he spoke, he slowly raised his dagger and closed his eyes.
Suddenly, she heard a loud shout. Before she could react, the dagger had already been snatched away. Granny Li opened her eyes and was shocked to find Zhao Luyan standing in front of her."Why are you here?"
"I never left."
"Then what happened just now…"
"I saw everything and heard what you said.”Zhao Luyan asked excitedly," Was what you said true? Was my mother really tortured to death by my father? Why didn't you tell me?”
Zhao Luyan had already understood, so there was no need to hide it. Granny Li sighed and said,"This is the truth. I remember it clearly, bit by bit. However, what I know is what happened later. Your mother told me what happened in the past. Our Fang family was originally a large family in Jiangnan and had been officials for generations. In your grandfather's generation, we were ostracized in the imperial court and only became a small local official. At that time, although Zhao Shengming was young, he was put in an important position because of the Crown Prince. By chance, he met my sister, your mother. It was love at first sight. She went to ask for a marriage, but her father refused. "He used his status and internet crimes to imprison Father. Sister went to beg him, and he threatened her. Sister didn't agree, so he took her, took her…"
