When Shen Niannian understood, he knew that Lu Wenyan would still be treated so cruelly in the coming years.

She can now understand Lu Yaoqin's hatred for Lu Wenyan, but all this is limited to understanding.

After all, Lu Yaoqin's originally beautiful life was ruined by that demon. Perhaps even today, every time she dreams back at midnight, she still has nightmares and dreams of all the imprisonment and fear back then.

But Shen Niannian didn't understand why Lu Yaoqin always forced Xiao Lu to talk softly and smile.

It was obvious that Lu Wenyan looked so much like her.

It wasn't until one month later that Lu Yaoqin appeared in front of Xiao Lu Wenyan again.

Different from the dark clouds the previous time, this time, Lu Yaoqin's expression was very calm, and could even be called quite gentle.

She rarely leaned over to look at Lu Wenyan's face, and asked him with concern whether he was okay these days.

This attitude was so different from before that Shen Niannian couldn't help but get goosebumps.

She always felt that Lu Yaoqin had an agenda.

And the fact is, it is indeed the case.

Lu Yaoqin treated Lu Wenyan with tenderness. Over the past two months, she came to visit several times, often caressing the tips of Lu Wenyan's hair with pity.

And Lu Wenyan finally got free, left the dark room and moved to another more elegant room.

Lu Yaoqin gave Lu Wenyan a name, which made Shen Niannian realize that for the past ten years, Lu Wenyan had been nameless and nameless. He was only called a monster by his biological mother...

Later, Shen Niannian often heard Lu Yaoqin talking to Lu Wenyan. Gradually, the words became more and more like brainwashing.

But over and over again, she seemed to want to downplay, weaken, and even package up what she had done and the abuse she had towards Lu Wenyan as if it was all for his own good.

Regarding these, the young man just listened ignorantly. He seemed to be understanding, thinking, and digesting what this woman, who was his mother, wanted to express.

As the days passed, Lu Wenyan's leg gradually recovered.

But two consecutive broken legs left him completely crippled.

But Lu Yaoqin didn't care.

One morning in late autumn, she brought Lu Wenyan back to the Anyang Marquis Mansion, but not in the name of her own son, but... the youngest son of her maternal uncle.

Later, Shen Niannian found out that Lu Yaoqin's uncle had committed a crime years ago and the whole family was demoted out of the capital. He did have a bastard named Lu Wenyan.

However, the boy who was really called Lu Wenyan contracted an illness and died on the way to being demoted.

Lu Yaoqin settled Lu Wenyan in the name of keeping her sick cousin and taking in relatives.

But she went to such great lengths to give Lu Wenyan a false identity and treated him so considerately that Shen Niannian didn't realize that she was really feeling guilty about Lu Wenyan.

Lu Wenyan was initially arranged to enter the clan school of the Anyang Marquis Mansion, along with Wei Liuxing, who was about to be six years old and was in the midst of his enlightenment.

Wei Liuxing does not look like Lu Yaoqin, but looks very much like his father, Anyang Wei Xi.

Wei Xi used to be a general who fought on the battlefield. Because of his outstanding abilities, he was awarded several titles by the emperor.

But later, Wei Xi was injured in a battle and suffered from a stubborn illness that was difficult to recover from.

The emperor was grateful for his great achievements and specially named him the Marquis of Anyang.

The Wei Xi that Shen Niannian met was an extremely elegant and gentle man who often smiled. Although he was in his thirties, he was still handsome and elegant.

It wasn't until one day when Shen Niannian saw Wei Xi's smile towards Lu Wenyan that she suddenly understood.

Wei Xi... knew Lu Wenyan's identity.

He was always gentle towards Lu Wenyan, and his eyes often showed compassion and compassion.

Gradually, the smile on Lu Wenyan's face grew more and more.

But Shen Niannian keenly discovered that Lu Wenyan's every move, expression, and eyes seemed to be imitating Wei Xi. He often sat alone in front of the bronze mirror, practicing Wei Xi's elegant manners and speech over and over again, until one time, he was accidentally seen by the maid who was serving him.

The maid was startled, turned around and informed Lu Yaoqin of the matter.

But the strange thing is that Lu Yaoqin was not angry at all this time.

Instead, she had a smile on her face, scolded the maid for making such a fuss, and ordered her to keep the matter in her stomach.

Lu Yaoqin's abnormality aroused Shen Niannian's suspicion.

She always felt that this matter was related to Wei Xi, so like a ghost, she walked around the corridor and found Wei Xi.

At that time, Wei Xi was sitting under the tree, playing chess with someone.

The man sitting opposite Wei Xi also had a handsome face. He looked to be in his twenties and was shaking a feather fan in his hand.

A pair of narrow eyes, like those of a fox, but on the side. Not only is this appearance not mean, but it actually looks aloof and distant.

"Brother Wei seems to be looking good these days." The man said in a familiar tone.

Wei Xi smiled and replied, "My wife took good care of her."

The man couldn't help but laugh too, and joked: "They say Brother Wei and his wife have been married for several years, and they are still in love. I didn't expect it to be true."

When Wei Xi heard this, he only joked: "Isn't Brother Zhaoyuan also envious? However, Brother Zhaoyuan has been alone for many years, doesn't he feel lonely?"

Brother Zhaoyuan heard this sound, and Shen Niannian's pupils suddenly shrank.

Zhaoyuan?

Why does this name sound so familiar to her?

The next moment, I heard Zhao Yuan reply: "I am destined to be lonely and widowed in my life. If I let others suffer for my own selfish desires, wouldn't it be a sin?"

Wei Xi sighed: "We haven't seen each other for so many years. I thought the influence of puppetry was no longer useful to you..."

Zhao Yuan said: "My qualifications for practicing puppetry are not good. If I can understand it thoroughly, I won't be afraid of its influence."

As he said that, he raised his eyes and looked at Wei Xi: "Seeing you again this time is probably the farewell between me and Brother Wei."

He dropped a white piece and looked indifferent.

The black piece in Wei Xi's hand almost dropped. He put the black piece into the box again and his expression became solemn.

"Brother Zhaoyuan, what do you mean by this? But what difficulties have you encountered?"

"This is destiny, brother Wei, don't worry." Zhao Yuan spoke in a loose and calm tone: "Ever since I started my career, I have known that I would be destined for this fate. However, my mortal fate is not over yet... That's it for now. If I repay my kindness to you, I will never enter this world again."

When Wei Xi heard this, he was speechless for a long time.

After a long time, he sighed, knowing that all people who cultivated immortals were like this, so he stopped forcing it.

He just said: "Brother Zhaoyuan, if there is any use for me, just give me your orders."

Zhao Yuan narrowed his eyes, a smile on his lips.

However, at this moment, his eyes suddenly became sharp and he looked in the direction of Shen Niannian.

Shen Niannian froze and stood there in surprise.

She met Zhaoyuan's eyes and frowned.

Zhao Yuan...can he see her?
