Indeed, as Su Yu imagined, the relationship between Zeng Cong and the Wei family, like the thousands of stories that have fallen into clichés, is a tragic tragedy caused by the ups and downs of the high-ranking family, and Zeng Cong's mother is the saddest victim of this tragedy.

In this world, most of the extremely precious and beautiful things, whether they are good people or things, will inevitably not be kept in the homes of ordinary people for a long time, once the glory is too prosperous, it will be easy to cause others to covet.

Zeng Cong is Wei Tong's illegitimate son, and the father and son are not alike, so it can be seen that Zeng Cong, who is peerless, is like his mother, so Zeng Cong's mother's appearance when he fell into the city can be inferred.

Like the stories of most talented and beautiful women told before, Zeng Cong's mother, who was born poor, was fortunate to enter the eyes of Lord Wei Tong, like the phoenix rising in the sky, jumped on the branch and became an extremely eye-catching existence above the tip.

Flowers are too eye-catching, easy to be broken off the branches, people are too eye-catching, and it is easy to be hated to the bone, Mrs. Wei, the very powerful housewife in the Wei Mansion back then, is a person who likes to hate and secretly put it in her heart.

There is no need to guess too much, the means of competing for favor and beauty in the back house are endless, and a woman who was born poor and has never experienced the ugliness of people's hearts is naturally not worth mentioning compared with Mrs. Wei, who stepped on the throne of many women back then.

Even if he has a rare appearance of a layman and a thousand kinds of favor from men, all the people in this world, if they simply rely on others to survive, then the end will inevitably be very miserable, Zeng Cong's mother is such a living example.

It is said that at that time, Zeng Cong's mother was kicked out of the house because she was to blame her for fornication, at that time, the evidence was conclusive, Wei Tong was convinced, so he drove the woman who had loved for a while out of the house by his capable and decisive wife.

It's just that Wei Tong didn't know that Zeng Cong's mother was pregnant at that time, but this matter was known by Wei Niancheng, who was still young at the time, from the quiet conversation between Mrs. Wei and others.

From his mother's point of view, Wei Niancheng did not inform his father of this incident, only knowing that the person sent by his mother to assassinate did not succeed.

The struggle in the back house often can't stop forever, without this one, there will be one after another, there is the next one, Mrs. Wei at that time, did not put too much thought into a woman who had no hope of turning over, so Zeng Cong's mother also escaped a catastrophe.

I don't know what kind of hardships I have endured, I don't know what kind of hardships I have endured, I was pregnant for ten months, and a weak woman fought everything she had, and finally gave birth to the child, raised it to the toddler, and raised it to the point that the child could use her young hands to hold the leftovers from begging and feed her.

When Zeng Cong was talking to Su Yu, he stopped here for a while, and then looked at the quiet lake outside the window, and was silent for a long time.

The young Zeng Cong, the first time he met Wei Niancheng, was when he was seven years old, when he and his mother were on the street picking up rotten vegetable leaves that were crushed by cars, horses and pedestrians, when he looked up, he saw a tall horse on the horse, sitting a graceful child, the child looked a few years older than him, full of silk and satin, the neck inlaid with gold and jade with jade accessories, hung straight to the chest, every horse ridden every step forward, the servant in front of the road, the child between the eyes, is the ordinary people difficult to achieve the posture of wealth.

Zeng Cong, who was picking up vegetable leaves in the middle of the street, blocked their way, and the arrogant servants pushed him away, and his young body fell to the ground, covered in mud, and looked up at the boy on the horse in a daze, feeling that the sun above the boy's head was a little shaky and couldn't open his eyes.

And Wei Niancheng on the horse also noticed the child in front of him, although his face was full of mud stains, dirty and tattered, but he was still beautiful and unspeakable, even though he felt that he was arrogant, and the children of ordinary families couldn't get into his eyes, but for no reason, he felt that this beautiful child was a little kind.

The accompanying servants saw that their little master was stunned, thinking that the dirty child was unhappy, so they pushed and shoved, and even wanted to kick him away, at this time Zeng Cong's mother came to pull her child, even though the once beautiful woman was unkempt and thin by life, and even her eyes were already hungry and deeply collapsed, but Wei Niancheng on the horse still recognized her at a glance, and couldn't help but put her eyes on Zeng Cong again.

This is their first encounter, one in the sky and one in the mud, both of which have left indelible traces of this life on each other.

Later, Zeng Cong heard people in the crowd talk about it, and realized that it was the son of the Wei family, and the Lord Wei was his biological father in the mouth of his mother.

This world is not peaceful, and the unpeaceful world does not necessarily cause the sorrow of the superiors, but more importantly, the hardships of all sentient beings and innocent people in this world. At that time, ordinary families were still difficult to survive, and orphans and widows like them were like thousands of miles of thorns paved on a difficult road, and a slight wrong step was an abyss.

His mother was lost at the bottom of the abyss.

The continuous rain in the autumn was cold to the bone, he and his mother stayed in the broken grass shed that leaked on all sides, and the night before his mother went out to find food for him, and met a few drunken hooligans, who tortured the thin mother **, and at the end, threw her a somewhat rancid steamed bun.

The mother went back to him with the steamed bun in her arms, but she couldn't afford to be sick, Zeng Cong begged all the hospitals in the city at that time, they all turned away a life because of a few dollars and silver taels, and finally asked for a kind doctor, willing to go to see when his mother, the body had frozen on the straw pile.

So, like that vicious circle, he begged all over the city, hoping that a kind man would reward him with a penny, let him change the mat in which he was wrapped, so that he could be buried with his mother, but he begged countless people and kowtowed countless heads, but to no avail. When he finally found a handful of dry straw and wanted to go back to bury his mother, he found that his mother's body had been thrown into the cart that was supposed to be pulling cattle by the official who was pulling the broken cart.

I remember that at night, my mother still held him with only a little temperature, and now she was thrown at the top of the broken car, her stiff and thin body, and she still maintained that position.

Zeng Cong chased the broken car and ran, chasing the extremely long, even boundless road in his life, still looking at his mother and leaving his world, at that moment, he had hatred in his heart, he hated the injustice of the world, hated those who hurt them, and even hated why God was blind and let the world suffer like this.

But later, when I saw the beautiful Wei family from a distance again, I realized that the suffering in the world just befell them.

At that time, the thought in Zeng Cong's mind was to kill them, kill those who had bullied his mother, kill those who were indifferent in their hearts and ignored them, and even the idea of killing in his heart arose, wishing that the whole city would be bloodied and become a human Yama.

Later, in the many years of Mingyue Tower, it was because of the hatred in his heart that supported him, and he experienced countless bloodthirsty moments, and became stronger step by step.

During that time, Zeng Cong didn't know how many people he had killed, he only felt that when he woke up or in his dreams, he was full of bright red blood, and even he found that the evil of human nature could not be eliminated by his own strength.

He vaguely remembered that his extremely kind mother said, she said that some people, it's not that they don't want to help them, but in today's world, everyone has their own difficulties, and they are still too busy to take care of themselves, where is the energy to help others, for example, if someone comes to ask him for a bowl of rice, will he give it?

Zeng Cong recalled that he felt that he couldn't give it, because he didn't have that bowl of rice, so he was indifferent and sometimes helpless.

I hated and was confused, and as I grew older, the direction in Zeng Cong's heart slowly became clearer.

First, he wants to destroy the Wei family with his own hands, after all, the beginning of all the pain of his mother's mother is there, and the self-esteem in his heart makes him unwilling to let those who have the same blood flowing in his body look down on him.

Second, he wants to change the rules of this world, so that all the people in this world who live like him don't have to be so difficult, if people's hearts are not so cold, their mothers may not die, and children like him can ask for a bowl of rice or a copper coin from others to come to the door of others.

Probably the process and the result are as Zeng Cong planned and imagined, after years of planning and calculation, the Wei family is almost about to disperse, the man who lost his mother has gone to the Yellow Spring, and Mrs. Wei has already died of exhaustion, it is only ridiculous that she has fought all her life, calculated for a lifetime, but she has never gotten her husband's sincerity.

As for the powerful capital that made the Wei family high, it will also collapse completely under his suppression, and there will be no chance to turn over.

Zeng Cong once thought that one day, when he met the two of him, he must be in the clouds, Wei Niancheng fell into the mud, but he walked step by step according to his plan, and found that some things were beyond his expectations, such as Wei Niancheng's connivance in his official career, such as he is now almost equal to him, when Wei Niancheng saw him, the smile was still like riding on a horse as a child, and he shook his eyes a little when he smiled.

For another example, when his plan was almost exposed in front of Wei Tong and made Wei Tong unhappy, Wei Wan, who was a little stupid, actually protected him so tightly that he refused to leave, and after learning that they were brother and sister, he clapped his hands happily to celebrate that he had such a good-looking brother, and the brother was only one sister.
