Chapter 574 Zhihua's Life Experience
"Then, Lord Anguo, can you sit down and listen to me slowly?"
Zhihua tightly grasped the hem of Chen Mo's robe, looked up at him, and tears fell from her eyes.
"You get up first."
Chen Mo said, and sat down again at the tea table.
Zhihua filled Chen Mo's cup with tea, tried to calm down, and slowly began to talk.
Zhihua was born in a family that favored boys over girls. Her parents were both peasants in the countryside. Because they had been married for many years and had not gotten pregnant, her parents asked a famous doctor from the next village to come and see her. After a diagnosis, they found that the problem was with Zhihua's father.
Fortunately, the problem was not too serious. The doctor prescribed a prescription, saying that as long as he took the medicine on time and had a good rest, he would be fine.
Although the doctor said that the disease could be cured, it was like a bolt from the blue to Zhihua's father's ears.
The most important thing was that the news about Zhihua's father's poor foundation suddenly spread in the village, and Zhihua's father's face was greatly damaged.
Since then, the villagers have been talking about Zhihua's father's "incompetence".
A few months later, Zhihua's mother became pregnant. When the news spread, the villagers immediately started gossiping, saying that Zhihua's mother had cheated on a man.
After all, everyone in the village knew that Zhihua's father had a problem with his pedigree.
Although Zhihua's parents kept explaining that the disease could be cured, few people believed it.
So in this environment, Zhihua was born.
For Zhihua's father, who wanted a child, it was hard to hide his disappointment when he saw that it was a daughter. In order to raise her, he casually gave her a cheap name.
Zhihua grew up day by day. At this time, some people in the village said that Zhihua did not look like her father.
In fact, from the moment when the villagers kept talking about his wife cheating on a man, and because of his own incompetence, Zhihua's father's mentality began to be distorted.
At this moment, he heard others talking about his daughter not looking like him. For a while, Zhihua's father also believed it and thought that his wife had cheated on a man.
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 attributed the reason for the beating to Zhihua, so after Zhihua was beaten by her father, she was beaten by her mother again.
Whenever Zhihua was hungry and in pain and couldn't sleep at night, her younger brother, who was one year younger than Zhihua, would take out the food he 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 next year.
So, her younger brother was the only light in Zhihua's childhood.
When Zhihua was seven years old, there was a rare famine that year. In order to survive the difficulties, Zhihua's father sold Zhihua to a human trafficker.
Later, the human trafficker sold Zhihua to the Huaiwang Mansion.
Seeing that Zhihua had a good foundation, the Huaiwang Mansion planned to train her into a spy.
Taught her to read, etiquette, practice, and dress up.
And gave her a new name - Huaying.
"From what you said, the Prince of Huai treats you well. 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 a little of what Zhihua just said.
Hearing this, Zhihua showed a trace of self-mockery and continued to talk.
Indeed, the Prince of Huai's Mansion taught her to read, practice, feed her, and clothe her. She should be grateful to the Prince of Huai in her heart.
But the Prince of Huai used her family, especially her brother, to threaten her.
For the spy, ability is not the most important, but loyalty is the most important.
At this moment, the spy is mentally complete and has passed the age of brainwashing. In order to better control her, the Prince of Huai controlled her family.
"So you plan to betray the Prince of Huai? The Prince of Huai did this, in fact, it is just an extra insurance. After all, you are doing things outside. If you are bewitched, it is easy to betray. Doing this, the Prince of Huai is also at ease." Chen Mo said.
Zhihua shook her head and continued to talk.
When she was thirteen years old, the Huaiwang Mansion sold her to Huaxianglou through a human trafficker.
After all, the brothel was the best place to get information, and it gave her a secret method to conceal the aura of cultivation.
After coming to Jiangnan, she could not see her brother every day.
So after a while, she asked her online to see her brother once.
The online agreed.
At the beginning, she could see her brother every once in a while, and she was also very punctual. After seeing her brother, she could also feel at ease.
But later, the time of meeting was always dragged out.
Since the year before last, she and her brother met once a year, and it became a correspondence.
She found her online and asked why she could not see her brother.
The online said that because the prince lost Huaizhou, it was not easy to arrange for you siblings to meet.
Hearing this, Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "Then what?"
"At first, I didn't find anything unusual, but after more letters, I found something strange. The content of these letters is too polite. Even if they are all concerned about me and ask about my recent situation, I feel too distant, especially in the latest letter, my brother actually mentioned my parents. You know, my brother never mentioned my parents in front of me, but he mentioned them in the letter, and said that my parents miss me too. There are even some words that I feel are not at my brother's level. "Zhi Hua said.
"So you suspect that someone imitated your brother's handwriting and communicated with you?" Chen Mo said.
Zhihua nodded, her eyes red and wet: "I am very worried about my brother, especially this mission. I know that 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, whether I fail or not, he will ask the superiors to release my brother and parents, but I am afraid that he will deceive me, especially since I can't see my brother in the past two years, and the letter is fake. I am afraid that my brother has already met with misfortune.
If I see my brother in the underworld, then what I did today would not help the enemy."
Hearing this, Chen Mo thought for a while and said: "You are smart and sharp."
Zhihua cried 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 accompany her to finish singing and see the truth.
"You promised." Crystal tears swirled in Zhihua's eyes.
"Well, tell me." Chen Mo said.
