Chapter 574 Zhihua's Life Experience

"Then, Lord Anguo, can you please sit down and listen to me?"

Zhihua clutched the hem of Chen Mo's robe tightly, looked up at him, tears in her eyes.

"You get up first."

Chen Mo said this and sat down at the tea table again.

Zhihua poured Chen Mo a full cup of tea, tried to calm herself down, and began to speak slowly.

Zhihua was born in a family that favors boys over girls. Her parents are both farmers. After being married for many years but still not pregnant, her parents asked a famous doctor from the next village to take a look. After diagnosis, they found that the problem was with Zhihua's father.

Fortunately, the problem was not too serious. The doctor prescribed a prescription and said that as long as I took the medicine on time and had a good rest, I would be fine.

Although the doctor said the disease could be cured, it was like a bolt from the blue to Zhihua's father.

The most important thing is that the news that Zhihua's father was of poor quality suddenly spread in the village, and Zhihua's father's reputation was greatly damaged.

Since then, the fact that Zhihua’s father was “not a good person” was often talked about by villagers.

A few months later, Zhihua's mother became pregnant. When the news spread, people in the village started gossiping about her, saying that Zhihua's mother was having an affair with a strange man.

After all, everyone in the village knew that Zhihua's father had a problem with his family background.

Although Zhihua's parents kept explaining that the disease could be cured, apparently few people believed it.

So in this environment, Zhihua was born.

Zhihua's father, who wanted a child, could not hide his disappointment when he saw that it was a daughter. In order to make it easier to raise her, he gave her a vulgar name.

As Zhihua grew up, some people in the village said that she did not look like her father.

In fact, from the moment the villagers kept talking about his wife having an affair with a strange man, coupled with his own poor foundation, Zhihua's father's mentality began to become distorted.

At this moment, he heard others talking about how his daughter did not look like him. For a moment, Zhihua's father believed it and thought that his wife had an affair with a strange man.

Ever since Zhihua could remember, her father would beat and scold her and her mother at any time. All the dirty and tiring work at home was done by Zhihua's mother, and her mother blamed Zhihua for the beatings. So after Zhihua was beaten by her father, she would be beaten by her mother again.

Whenever Zhihua was too hungry or in pain to sleep at night, her brother, who was one year younger than her, would take out the food he had saved during the day and share it with Zhihua, saying that he would protect his sister when he grew up.

Well, after Zhihua’s mother gave birth to Zhihua, she gave birth to another boy the following year.

So, the younger brother was Zhihua’s only light in her childhood.

When Zhihua was seven years old, a rare severe famine occurred. In order to survive the difficult time, Zhihua's father sold Zhihua to a human trafficker.

Later, Yazi sold Zhihua to the Huaiwang Mansion.

When the Huai Palace saw that Zhihua had good aptitude, they decided to train her to be a spy.

Teach her reading, etiquette, cultivation, and dressing.
She was also given a new name - Huaying.

"From what you said, Prince Huai was very good to you. Why do you want to betray him now?" Chen Mo said.

As for the tea in front of him, he didn't drink a sip.

Although Zhihua said that she didn't use the Immortal Powder, Chen Mo didn't believe it.

He even believed only half of what Zhihua had just said.

Hearing this, Zhihua showed a hint of self-mockery and continued. Indeed, the Huaiwang Mansion taught her to read and practice, and provided her with food and clothes. She should be grateful to the Huaiwang in her heart.

But the Huai Palace threatened her with her family, especially her brother.

For spies, ability is not the most important thing, but loyalty.

At this moment, Spy Yi's mind is fully developed and she is no longer at the age where she can be brainwashed. In order to better control her, Prince Huai's Mansion controls her family.

"So you plan to betray Prince Huai? Prince Huai's Mansion is actually doing this as an extra layer of insurance. After all, you are working outside. If you are bewitched, it is easy to betray. Doing this will make Prince Huai's Mansion feel at ease." Chen Mo said.

Zhihua shook her head and continued talking.

When she was thirteen years old, the Huai Palace sold her to Huaxiang Tower through a human trafficker.

After all, the brothel was the best place to get information, and it gave her a secret method to conceal her cultivation aura.

After coming to Jiangnan, she no longer sees her brother every day.

So after a while, she asked her superiors to let her see her brother.

The person on the line agreed.

At the beginning, she could see her brother every once in a while, and very punctually. After seeing her brother, she felt a lot more at ease.

But later on, the meeting time was always prolonged.

Since the year before last, she and her brother have only met once a year and have switched to exchanging letters.

She found her boss and asked why she couldn't see her brother.

The person online said that because the prince lost Huaizhou, it is difficult to arrange a meeting between you siblings.

Hearing this, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "Then what?"

"At the beginning, I didn't notice anything unusual, but after receiving more letters, I found something strange. The contents of these letters are too polite. Even though they are all words of concern for me and asking about my recent situation, I feel it is too distant. Especially in the most recent letter, my brother actually mentioned my parents. You know, my brother never mentions my parents in front of me, but he mentioned them in his letter and said that my parents miss me too. I even feel that some of the words are not something my brother can write at his level." Zhihua said.

"So you suspect that someone imitated your brother's handwriting to communicate with you?" Chen Mo said.

Zhi Hua nodded, her eyes red and moist: "I am very worried about my brother, especially for this mission. I know that no matter whether I succeed in assassinating you or not, I will die, but I am worried about my brother..."

Hearing this, Chen Mo was stunned: "In this case, you should assassinate me even more. What if your superior knows that you did not follow the orders of King Huai, but planned to betray King Huai, in order to retaliate against you, he will definitely attack your brother and your family."

Zhihua showed a pale smile: "Before coming here today, he told me that as long as I follow his orders, no matter if I fail or not, he will ask the higher-ups to release my brother and my parents. But I am afraid that he will lie to me, especially since I have not seen my brother in the past two years and the letter is fake. I am afraid that something bad has happened to my brother.

If I see my brother in the afterlife, then what I did today would be helping the enemy."

Hearing this, Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "You are quite smart and sharp."

Zhihua wept silently.

"Tell me, how do you want me to save your brother?" Regardless of whether what Zhihua said just now was false, Chen Mo planned to sing with her to the end and see the truth.

"You... you agreed." Crystal tears swirled in Zhihua's eyes.

"Well, go ahead." Chen Mo said.
