The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 533 Secret
Zhu Weijin didn’t remember anything after the slap. She only remembered that when the nanny put a cold towel on her face, she asked:

"Did sister get beaten?"

The nanny shook her head.

Why didn't you get beaten?

"My arms were also pinched purple by her. Look, look..." She couldn't wait to roll up her sleeves.

The nanny's face looked distressed and helpless, and she sighed heavily.

"Second young lady, you have to remember one thing. In my heart, you will never go beyond the eldest lady in your life."

"Zhu Weixi."

Zhu Weijin bit her tongue and said, "They were both born in my mother's womb. I was only born three years later than you. Why do my parents only have eyes for you? Why?"

The hatred that had been suppressed in her heart for more than twenty years surged out like a flood opening, so that after the last word was shouted, her legs became weak, and she could no longer hold up, and she fell down.

Zhu Weixi didn't know how to answer.

Her parents doted on her, she always knew this.

When she was a child, she was ignorant and somewhat arrogant. As she grew older, she understood that her brothers and sisters were the people closest to her in the world besides her parents.

The same blood bleeds on them, and blood is thicker than water.

So she restrained her temper, acted in a low-key manner, tried her best to take care of the mood of her two younger sisters, and never acted like the eldest sister. Why did she still attract so much hatred?

"On your tenth birthday, there were more than a dozen tables set up at home and a theater troupe was invited to sing for a whole day. What about me?"

Zhu Weijin frowned and yelled, "What do I have?"

It was a small family banquet. Halfway through the meal, I invited my father to go to the palace for something. My father left the table halfway through the meal.

The brothers and sisters each gave birthday gifts, and her mother carefully prepared a gift for her, saying that this was also a little bit of her father's wishes.

Shit.

Not at all.

On my eldest sister's birthday three years ago, my father gave her a shop as a gift, saying that it would be her dowry in the future.

Not only did she not have a shop, she didn't even have the "big show" she promised. Dad seemed to have forgotten what he said that day.

Or maybe he just said it casually.

Ten-year-old Zhu Weijin finally figured out one thing: people's hearts are biased, and she is superfluous in this family.

After understanding this truth, Zhu Weijin changed again.

She became taciturn and became more and more withdrawn. Later, she didn't even bother to speak, and no one wanted to listen anyway.

She became increasingly unpopular in front of her parents, and her brothers and sisters didn't like her either.

Gradually, she became a transparent person in the Zhu family.

A transparent person doesn't need to speak, she just needs to be a quiet bystander.

That slap made Zhu Weijin understand that what he heard with his ears was not necessarily true. It was all spoken by people's mouths, and it was just a matter of the upper and lower lips touching each other.

Covering his mouth and ears, his eyes became particularly sharp.

As a result, she discovered many secrets that others could not discover.

When Yan Sanhe heard this, he suddenly interrupted Zhu Weijin.

"What have you found?"

Zhu Weijin looked from Zhu Yuanmo to Zhu Yuanzhao... one by one. Everyone was caught by her, and a chill rose up in the back of her head for no reason.

The last sight fell on Zhu Weixi again.

Zhu Weijin slowly wiped away his tears and suddenly smiled and said, "Zhu Weixi, why don't you guess what I discovered?"

Hearing this, Zhu Weixi's face turned cold, "I won't guess, you tell me."

"Look!"

Zhu Weijin raised his eyebrows: "The tone of her voice is so much like her father's."

The brothers and sisters of the Zhu family were startled by these words. After tasting them carefully, they found that they were indeed somewhat similar.

Dad usually speaks softly and has no temper at all, but as long as his face is straight and the aura of the head of the family is faintly revealed, Mom would not dare to confront him head-on at this time. "Not only does she sound similar, she looks similar, and she also has a similar temperament."

Zhu Weijin's expression was filled with sadness. Some words had been hidden in her heart for too long.
"You are the one who looks most like dad among our six brothers and sisters. The eldest brother only looks like him on the outside, but you look alike inside and out."

After Yan Sanhe heard what she said, his eyes looked back and forth between Zhu Weixi and Zhu Yuanmo.

"I am my father's daughter, and I was raised by him. What's wrong with being like him?"

Zhu Weixi was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Is it possible that you are jealous of this?"

"Yes, I'm just jealous."

Zhu Weijin's eyes were arrogant and he said: "Why do you look like dad, tall and thin, while I look like mom, short and fat?"

Zhu Weixi sneered, "You have to ask God about this. It's useless to blame anyone."

Yes, it’s useless to blame anyone, you can only blame God.

Zhu Weijin: "Zhu Weixi, do you know that it is precisely because you look like dad that dad loves you so much. If you looked like mom, dad wouldn't even look at you twice."

Zhu Weixi scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Yan Sanhe's eyes suddenly lit up.

Something is not right.

The person Zhu Xuanjiu loves most in his life is Mr. Mao.

And Zhu Weijin looks very much like Mao. When he sees her, he can imagine what Mao looked like when he was young.

How could Zhu Xuanjiu be disgusted because his second daughter looked like Mao?

"Zhu Weixi, have you ever observed the way dad looks at you?"

Zhu Weijin chuckled twice, making his head tingle with laughter.

"Wherever you go, Dad's eyes follow you; when you smile happily, Dad smiles with you; when you frown, Dad's eyebrows droop; if you are not at the dinner table, Dad will even skip a few bites of the meal."

"Zhu Weijin."

Zhu Weixi was ashamed and angry, her eyes red with anger, "How could you say such crazy words?"

"Because I can see it clearly from the side."

When the eldest sister was 13 years old, she followed her mother to Mount Wutai to pray for blessings. Several ladies who were close friends with her went with her.

There were two people missing at the dinner table. Dad obviously didn't eat much and his expression was dull. After eating, he took his three sons to the study.

A month later, only my mother came back. The eldest sister was taken back to the house by another wife to stay for a few days because she was popular.

When my mother came back, my father was very happy and had a smile on his face.

But Zhu Weijin discovered that his father's smile was only on the surface, and he ate less than the previous few days, only a few mouthfuls of rice.

Three days later, the eldest sister came back. Dad ate two bowls of rice in one go and drank a full bowl of soup.

At the time she just thought it was weird.

Later, as the eldest sister socialized more and more with the daughters of aristocratic families and was often away from the dinner table, she discovered that the person who really made her father unable to eat was actually Zhu Weixi.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces turned ugly.

Especially Zhu Yuanmo pointed at Zhu Weijin's nose and cursed.

"Zhu Weijin, are you crazy? You can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. If this spreads out, how can the Zhu family have the dignity to gain a foothold in the capital?"

Zhu Laoer was so angry that his heart ached.

One is the girl he loves the most, and the other is the father he loves the most. This, this, this...

"It's okay to not know the importance of things when I was young. Now that I'm old, a dog can't spit out ivory from its mouth."

"Zhu Weijin!"

Zhu Laosan slammed the table: "How can you talk nonsense?"

"Second sister, you really went too far."

Zhu Weijun looked angry.
