Chapter 49: The Past

Song Wangchen hasn't appeared since the last time he left, Ji Nuan has been to the bamboo house several times to look for him, she wanted to explain it to him, but he didn't even give her a chance to explain.

She stood by the window, her mind full of thoughts, and after all these recent events, she was even more sure that she should go back to the modern age, and that this place was not for her.

Yu Man kept looking at her, and seeing that she was always preoccupied, he suddenly wanted to tell her what happened when he was a child. She never talked about those unbearable memories with anyone, but she was different.

"Ji Nuan, do you want to know about me when I was a child"?

Ji Nuan turned to nod and smile at her, and she began to talk about the past.

Yu Man's mother, Zhang Yunru, was a rare beauty in the hundred sects when she was young, not only that, but she was also amazingly talented in cultivation. At that time, there was an endless stream of sons of families who came to Zhangfu to propose marriage, but she just took a look at Yu Yuanyang, the sect master of Changyu Island.

Yu Yuanyang was young and handsome and free, the two fell in love at first sight, and finally became a partner, which once became a good story in the hundred doors.

A year after marriage, Xiao Yu Man was born, and when she was born, she grabbed Yu Yuanyang's hand with a pair of big eyes, laughing happily, and since then she has lived a life of stars holding the moon.

It wasn't until she started practicing at the age of three that everything slowly changed. Obviously, her parents' cultivation is very profound, and it stands to reason that she should also be talented, but it backfired. Perhaps because she has been pampered since she was a child, she is often reluctant to practice.

At first, Yu Yuanyang would hold her patiently and coax her. Gradually, he lost his patience and became angry with her for the first time: "If you don't practice seriously, I won't want you in the future."

Cultivation is especially important to the Xianmen family, and his daughter is going to take over Changyu in the future, so he naturally can't tolerate his daughter doing nothing.

At that time, she was so frightened that she cried, grabbed her mother's hand and shook her coquettishly as hard as she could: "Mother, I don't want to learn, I don't want it."

Zhang Yunru just hugged her in her arms and comforted her softly: "Man'er, your father is also for your good, you just listen to him and study hard, and you will be invincible in the world in the future."

Since then, she has begun to practice seriously, but the path of cultivation is hard, and the smile on her face has gradually become less.

When she was five years old, her cultivation did not improve, and she often couldn't even hold a sword steadily. Yu Yuanyang was angry again, pointed at her forehead and scolded: "If you don't practice well today, you won't be allowed to eat tonight until you finish practicing."

Looking at the back of her father's angry departure, she felt sadness for the first time at a young age. She began to practice her sword desperately, and she really didn't go to eat that day.

Seeing that the smile on her daughter's face became less and less, Zhang Yunru couldn't bear it, but she was helpless, and she began to plead with Yu Yuanyang. And he always said: "You spoiled her, how can my daughter Yu Yuanyang do nothing."

But God still played a big joke with her, when Yu Man was eight years old, she couldn't get married for a long time after five years of penance.

Yu Yuanyang was furious, he blamed all the faults on Zhang Yunru, and gradually began to alienate their mother and daughter. Sometimes I don't even bother to visit them for a month, let alone teach them personally.

Yu Man suddenly became uncared about from the stars holding the moon, and even the subordinates in the mansion were pointing at her behind her back. Saying that she is useless and is not worthy of being the daughter of the sect master at all.

Gradually, she no longer had a smile on her face, and her mother always smiled and taught carefully, but she often secretly wiped her tears behind her back. She knows all this, she is becoming more and more diligent, but her efforts are still useless, and she still can't get married.

When she was nine years old, her father had a young woman dressed in a bewitching manner, and everyone in the house respectfully called her Madame Mei. It didn't take long for Mrs. Mei to get pregnant, and Yu Yuanyang had a smile on his face again, he had hope for Yu again, and he had already lost hope in Yu Man.

Yu Man's mother never complained from beginning to end, and she taught Yu Man carefully as always.

Even the maid beside her was asked by Mrs. Mei, saying that she had served the eldest lady to give birth to children, had experience, and was good to the child in her belly. But Zhang Yunru still didn't say anything, but the more this happened, the more Mrs. Mei felt that their mother and daughter were easy to bully.

On that day, when she saw Zhang Yunru passing through the corridor with Yu Man, she deliberately said to the maid: "I am pregnant with a son, and a woman who can't give birth to a son has no future. Unlike some people, life is like the walking dead, no one loves and no one loves, it's really pitiful"!

Yu Man clenched her fists, as if she was about to rush forward to theorize, but her mother still shook her head at her and forcibly pulled her away. Yu Man turned his head and glared at Mrs. Mei angrily, only to see that she was still sitting there covering her mouth and laughing, she had the idea of killing for the first time at a young age.

On the day of Yu Man's tenth birthday, Changyu Island celebrated all over the world, and many people from the hundred doors came to congratulate. Yu Yuanyang loves face the most, and he took Zhang Yunru's hand for the first time and showed great affection in front of everyone. Although Zhang Yunru knew that everything was false, she was still happy from the bottom of her heart.

Yu Yuanyang forbade Mrs. Mei to appear in front of everyone, and Mrs. Mei knew that as long as Zhang Yunru was still in Changyu for a day, she would always have to hide, and she began to calculate how to drive their mother and daughter away.

Yu Man's uncle Zhang Yonghe brought the precious Pei Yuan Dan and personally delivered it to Yu Man's room. But she pushed it away and told her uncle that what she wanted was 'Wuxin'.

'Heartlessness' is a kind of poison, this poison is colorless and tasteless, and the silver needle cannot be tried at all, as long as a little bit can easily kill people.

Although the Zhang family is a family of immortal cultivators, they are quite accomplished in pills, and 'Wuxin' is a strange poison that they do not pass on.

Zhang Yonghe didn't know what happened to their mother and daughter in Changyu, and Zhang Yunru has always reported good news and not bad news. He was secretly curious about what Yu Man wanted the poison to do, and Yu Man just told him that she was going to use it to poison rats. Although he was puzzled, he finally gave it to her.

Not long after her birthday, Mrs. Mei came to the courtyard where Zhang Yunru lived with a big belly and with the support of the maid, and brought snacks to visit Yu Man.

Zhang Yunru personally served new tea, and Haosheng entertained her, but after drinking the tea, she began to complain of stomach pain. Yu Yuanyang was worried that something would happen to the child in her belly, so he slapped her without saying anything, and then hugged Mrs. Mei and walked away.

She still held back her tears and didn't say anything, just smiled at Yu Man and told her: "Don't be afraid, Man'er, my mother is fine."

Yu Man held 'Wuxin' tightly in his hand, and ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Early the next morning, she quietly followed the maid who made soup for Mrs. Mei to the kitchen, and quietly put 'Wuxin' in the soup while the others were not paying attention.

After that, she secretly followed the maid to the door of Mrs. Mei. Madame Mei drank the soup, and before she could say a word, she vomited blood and fell to the ground, and the maid screamed and called for help.

Yu Man didn't get that thrill of revenge, but began to be afraid, after all, it was the first time she had killed someone.

She panicked and ran into her mother's arms and began to tell what had just happened. Zhang Yunru didn't blame, but touched her little face dotingly and told her: "Don't be afraid, Man'er, there is a mother"!

Yu Yuanyang soon got the news and walked towards them angrily. The doctor told him that Mrs. Mei had been poisoned, and he immediately thought of 'unintentional'.

It's just that when he arrived, Zhang Yunru was already dying. Yu Man kept crying: "Mother, mother, don't scare Man'er, Man'er is afraid...".

Zhang Yunru gave her inner pill and cultivation to Yu Man, and she herself was already mentally exhausted, and she was about to be unable to hold on.

But she still stroked Yu Man's little face and told her: "Man'er, don't be afraid, my mother will always protect you."

Yu Yuanyang knew at this time that he regretted it, and he was pitiful that for the sake of the so-called face, he forced his beloved to a dead end.

He knelt on the ground and kept slapping his face, while apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry Yunru, I, I know it's wrong."

Zhang Yunru stretched out her hand with difficulty, and he immediately took her hand and stroked her face.

She gently wiped away the tears on his face, forced a smile, and said weakly: "Yuanyang, I, I don't blame you, good, good, right..."

Zhang Yunru's hand slowly slipped from his hand, slammed it on the ground, and his eyes slowly closed. In this life, she has loved, hated, and resented, but she has never regretted it.

"Mother...", Yu Man's heart-rending cry came, Yu Yuanyang reached out and wanted to hug her, but she slowly stepped back, crying and yelling: "I don't want you, you killed my mother." After she finished speaking, she wiped her tears and ran out, Yu Yuanyang hugged Zhang Yunru and fell into endless remorse...

Since that day, Yu Man has never called him father again, and never took the initiative to talk to him, she has become more and more withdrawn, never close to others, she has never cried or laughed again.

She had no friends, and she often lost her temper, and there was not a single servant or maid in the house who had not been punished by her. They were all afraid of her, very scared, very afraid.

At the age of sixteen, she was already slim, but her temper was getting bigger and bigger. Slowly a matchmaker began to come to her to tell her about matchmaking, but she always beat the matchmaker out without saying anything, and then no one dared to come to the matchmaker.

Since then, she has been notorious in Changyu, and the world says that she is arrogant and domineering, and no one is in sight. She followed their wishes and became more arrogant. As long as she doesn't like people, she hits them, and she smashes things she doesn't like...

Yu Yuanyang wanted to teach her a lesson several times, but every time he thought of the mistakes he had made, he endured them one by one.

Now that she has reached her twenties, she still has no friends. She once felt that she didn't need friends at all, until she met Ji Nuan, she knew that it was really nice to have friends...

Ji Nuan listened to her finish the whole story, and her heart was suddenly relieved. She has always been obsessed with the affairs of Mofu, and has always felt that they are sanctimonious and hypocritical. But now she understands that no one is perfect. People are selfish in the face of life and death, and it is not right for them to kill people in order to live, but this does not mean that they themselves are evil.

Yu Man didn't have any expression on his face, as if everything she said had nothing to do with him.

Ji Nuan gently took her hand and told her: "In the future, you will still have me."

With a simple sentence, Yu Man's originally tense emotions suddenly exploded, and she began to sob.

Ji Nuan hugged her tightly, letting her tears soak through her clothes. What's so much so strong is that it's just a desperate disguise to prevent others from discovering their vulnerability.

What she didn't know was that she had already become the only sunshine in Yu Man's heart, warming her heart that had already been cold.
