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

Chapter 538 Admitting Mistakes
Zhu Weijin was silent for a long time.

Just when everyone thought her next words were crucial, Zhu Weijin said:
"Miss Yan, I didn't find anything. I only thought about playing chess."

Thinking of playing chess?
Yan Sanhe's mind changed and he followed her words.

"The game of chess has not been interrupted. The two players are still sitting in front of the chessboard. The game is still going on, right?"

"Yes. My mother, holding the black one, advanced all the way; my father, holding the white one, retreated steadily."

Zhu Weijin smiled: "Everyone thought that my father would lose, but suddenly things took a turn for the worse. Who would have thought that the person who won in the end would be my father!"

Yan Sanhe: "Do you think it's a little strange that your father won?"

"I do not know."

Zhu Weijin looked at the bluestone bricks on the ground with a somewhat reserved expression on his face, "I only know that I'm a little scared."

"If you are afraid that Geng Song will be promoted to master and servant, if it is true, then the so-called twists and turns..."

Yan Sanhe took a breath: "...it's just scary to think about it!"

"It's not that you're too scared to think about it, Miss Yan."

Zhu Weijin raised his eyes and looked at Yan Sanhe blankly.

"I don't dare to think about it at all. He is my father. No matter how much he hates me, he is still my father, the one who gave birth to me and raised me."

After that incident, my father still worked diligently to support the family, caring for his mother tenderly and affectionately, and teaching his children lovingly.

Nothing has changed.

In fact, my father began to help my eldest sister look at young talents from high-ranking families in the capital. He and his mother screened them one by one, looked at their family backgrounds, tested their horoscopes, and calculated their futures.

Geng Songsheng was slowly forgotten.

Except for Zhu Weixi, there is still some pain and some injuries. Even the mother who is most involved with the Geng family seems to have come out of that shadow.

Not to mention Big Brother and the others.

But every night, Geng Songsheng's extremely suppressed sobs would enter her dreams, so real and clear, as if she was sleeping in that inn again.

A year has passed;

Two years passed;
Three years have passed;
The eldest sister is married.

On the day the eldest sister got married, the newlyweds were led into the main hall and bid farewell to their parents. The mother wiped her tears and said a lot of words of advice.

When it was Dad's turn, he burst into tears and couldn't say a word.

"I have never seen my father so sad in my life. It is like a treasure in his arms that no longer belongs to him from now on."

Zhu Weijin smiled miserably, "When I got married, my father just said to me: Go and live a good life in my husband's family."

She turned her head and looked at Zhu Yuanmo: "Brother, am I not exaggerating?"

No exaggeration.

The scenes of the two girls getting married were both engraved in Zhu Yuanmo's heart, one was engraved deeper and the other was engraved lighter.

And he remembered one thing.

After the eldest sister got married, her father became ill. He was ill for half a month, so that when the eldest sister returned home three times, her father never showed up. He, the eldest son, stayed with the Xie family all the time.

"From that day on, I completely gave up on this family."

Zhu Weijin: "I have rarely come back these years. It's not that I don't want to come back, but it's meaningless to come back."

Her father seldom saw her and only called her uncle into the study for a few words. Her mother would only tell her to be filial to her parents-in-law and to be friendly with her sisters-in-law.

If Zhu Weixi and his wife come back, one moment her mother was affectionately talking to her, and the next moment her mother will forget about her completely, and only her eldest daughter and son-in-law will be in her heart.

Dad is even more so.

What food my uncle likes to eat and what wine he likes to drink are all in my father's mind.

Xiang Yanrui was not good at socializing, but he was not a fool. His father-in-law and mother-in-law treated him like this, which made him worried, and he gradually became less fond of going to Zhu's house.

"Of course, there is a more important reason." Yan Sanhe: "What?"

"As soon as I return to Zhu's house, I will dream about Geng Song Sheng's cries for several days in a row."

Zhu Weijin looked at Zhu Weixi, hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and said:
"That person is a thorn in your heart and a thorn in my throat."

After hearing this, Zhu Weixi showed no expression at all and still lowered his head.

In fact, she hadn't raised her head for a long time. From Yan Sanhe's angle, he could only see the tears falling from her eyes.

Yan Sanhe turned his head silently and asked again: "Master Zhu passed away and you didn't come to see him die. Why?"

Zhu Weijin was silent and didn't seem to want to say much.

"Did Mr. Zhu say something to you before he was alive, or did he do something?"

Zhu Weijin looked at Yan Sanhe, her heart palpitating to the extreme. After a long while, she said: "On the third day when dad was ill, Yan Rui and I came back..."

Unfortunately, Dad drank the medicine and fell asleep.

The eldest brother went to the Yamen, the second brother and the third brother accompanied Yanrui outside to talk, while my mother and she stayed in the inner room.

After just watching for a while, the manager called my mother out and asked about the Dragon Boat Festival.

As soon as my mother left, my father's body suddenly started to tremble.

When she took a closer look, it turned out to be a nightmare.

Seeing that he was shaking more and more violently, she called out twice, but when there was no response, she had to reach out and shake him.

As soon as he stretched out his hand, his father opened his eyes suddenly, saw it was her, and growled with disgust: "Go back!"

Every word fell like thunder in Zhu Weijin's ears.

She quickly retracted her hand and rushed out without saying a word.

To this day, Zhu Weijin still remembers the look in his father's eyes when he yelled those three words.

The eyes were cold, angry, disgusting, and filled with deep-seated resentment, making her whole body, internal organs, and meridians as cold as a piece of ice.

"Miss Yan."

Zhu Weijin's voice suddenly became hoarse.

"I know that people's hearts are inherently biased, but I never imagined that they would be biased like this. Since he doesn't have me as a daughter in his heart at all, why should I pretend to be filial? It's better to just keep an eye out of sight!"

Yan Sanhe frowned, "Are you sure he was yelling at you with these words?"

"Miss Yan is so smart, she realized something was wrong right away."

Zhu Weijin sneered for no reason, "It took me three months to find out something wrong."

Zhu Weijun on the side was dumbfounded and couldn't wait to ask: "What's wrong?"

Yan Sanhe: "Mr. Zhu fell asleep after taking medicine. He didn't know that his second daughter and son-in-law came back to see her."

Zhu Weijun looked horrified, and cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back, "What you mean is..."

"He regards Zhu Weijin as your mother." Yan Sanhe said every word.

"how can that be?"

Zhu Weijun almost jumped up from his chair, shaking his head and saying in panic:

"This is impossible, my father will never let my mother go away, impossible, impossible..."

Yan Sanhe ignored her and looked directly into Zhu Weijin's eyes, "So, that's why you said the previous sentence?"

Zhu Weixi, do you know that it is precisely because you look like dad that dad loves you so much?If you look like your mother, your father won't even look at you twice.

Zhu Weijin looked at her for a moment, pursed her lips, and said in a very soft voice:

"I don't know if what I think is right, but I...that's what I think!"
