Chapter 521 She just melted away like that.
Fang Hui hid in the attic where they had first been imprisoned and pondered all night.
That night, Lu Jinchuan took advantage of Xu Yu'an and completely ravaged her. When she returned, the scene she witnessed was even more devastating than when her grandfather passed away.
This time, instead of standing by the bed waiting for Xu Yu'an to wake up, she stood outside the door, waited for him to come out, pulled him aside, and asked him alone, "An'an, do you really love Lu Jinchuan?"
Xu Yu'an tilted his head, his eyes clear, and replied, "I like it."
"Do you like Sister Huihui?"
"like!"
"If Sister Huihui did to you what Lu Jinchuan did to you last night, would you be willing?"
"Would Huihui-neechan like me more if I did that?"
"meeting."
"Then I agree!"
"Is this how Lu Jinchuan deceived you? He locked you up here, kept you like a plaything, and instilled this kind of thinking in you. He's a bastard!"
"Sister Huihui, don't say that about Brother Jinchuan. He's not a bad person."
Fang Hui forced a smile, a smile that was even uglier than a cry.
"You know... never mind, go have fun." In the end, she couldn't bring herself to tell the truth.
But she hated it... She secretly switched the things Shi Ying was going to burn for the gods that night, replacing the things Xu Yu'an had used with Lu Jinchuan's.
That night, someone on the night shift witnessed Shi Ying's horrific state. She began to rot from the head, her skin bubbling and gurgling like boiling water. She stretched out her hands and crawled forward, her body parts falling off little by little and then evaporating.
She wailed, pleaded for help, and cursed.
"Help me...it hurts so much...I...it's melting...let me go! Ilya! You deserved to die! Everything I had was stolen from me, I just took it back! I deserved to kill you! If I had known this would happen, I should have driven a nail into your grave! Ah—"
Fang Hui, who was peeking from the corner, said regretfully, "What a pity. Ever since he got rich, Lu Qi divorced Shi Ying because of cheating on her. He's probably in someone's bed right now. It's such a shame I didn't get to see it with my own eyes."
The next morning, the person who witnessed Shi Ying's death described the scene to Lu Jinchuan.
"Last night, the old lady melted like boiling water, muttering things like, 'Ilya... you deserve to die... you deserve to be killed,' and so on."
Upon hearing that name again after thirteen years, Xu Yu'an burst into tears, murmuring, "Mom..."
Fang Hui clicked her tongue in disapproval; she never expected that Xu Yu'an would learn the truth from the servants.
Lu Jinchuan gripped Xu Yu'an's hand tightly and asked Fang Hui, "Fang Hui, what's going on?"
Fang Hui sneered, her gaze filled with icy coldness.
"Heh~ What else could it be? Your parents killed An'an's parents. I saw it with my own eyes. They exploded right in front of us. Ah~ I almost forgot, there's also An'an's aunt, Xu Xiao. They killed her, and many other accidents were actually orchestrated by your parents."
"That was their doing, and now they've paid for it in blood. It has nothing to do with me."
"Yes, you short-lived wretch, you're only alive because of An'an. Have you ever heard of exchanging lives? Knowing Shi Ying as you do, do you think she would let you eat and live with An'an for no reason?"
Fang Hui paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and continued, "Actually, you already suspected it, didn't you? Or rather, you already knew that she used An'an's life to exchange for yours, which is why you personally cooked for him after your twentieth birthday. You knew, you definitely knew..."
"Enough!" Lu Jinchuan didn't let her finish speaking. He covered Xu Yu'an's ears with his hands and coaxed, "An'an, don't listen. It's all fake. Be good and don't listen to her nonsense."
Xu Yu'an smiled innocently and said, "Sister Huihui, are you telling a story?"
Fang Hui: "What!"
Lu Jinchuan: "Yes! She's telling a story. An'an is so smart."
Xu Yu'an: "Brother Jinchuan, I'm hungry."
"Come on, brother will cook for you." Lu Jinchuan said, pulling Xu Yu'an away, leaving Fang Hui standing there in astonishment.
Something's not right. Xu Yu'an's calm demeanor is a bit too much, isn't it?
On this day, Xu Yu'an clung to Lu Jinchuan as usual, kissing and hugging him, as if nothing had happened.
Fang Hui saw it all, but she didn't expect that Xu Yu'an, who knew the truth, would be so indifferent.
That night, she was locked out of her room, where indescribable sounds could be heard coming from inside.
"Do you like your older brother? Hmm~"
"I like...brother...ah~no! My legs~my legs are weak!"
Fang Hui leaned against the wall, slowly sat down, and curled up into a ball. She really couldn't understand why this was happening.
The sounds inside the room subsided, the door was unlocked, and Xu Yu'an, dressed neatly, reached out his hand to Fang Hui and said, "Let's go, Sister Hui Hui."
"What?" Fang Hui looked up in surprise. She met those blue eyes again, just as beautiful as when she first saw them.
She took the outstretched hand and let Xu Yu'an pull her up.
Xu Yu'an pulled her along, lowering his voice as they walked, and said, "Sister Huihui, listen to me, I put sleeping pills in Jinchuan's water. He won't wake up for a while, so tonight is our best chance to escape."
"How...did you do that?"
"He has a habit of drinking water afterwards."
Luo Shiyu suddenly realized, touched the medicine Liu Nai had given him in his pocket, and suddenly felt that he had learned something.
[Oh yeah~ Big Ice Cubes have this habit too.]
Fang Hui stopped, turned around, and walked towards the room.
Xu Yu'an grabbed Fang Hui's arm to stop her.
"Huihui, where are you going?"
"Kill Lu Jinchuan now."
"Don't do such a thing. If you kill someone, how are you any different from Shi Ying and the others?"
"But I..." (I've already killed someone.)
"Hey! Don't think about it so much, let's go."
"Okay, I'll listen to An An."
"Oh my gosh~ Sis~ How old am I and you're still calling me An'an? Do you really think I'm an idiot just because you're playing the fool?"
"what?"
"When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. The more harmless I appear, the less wary they become of me."
When did you start acting?
"It started when I first arrived."
"What about your parents' deaths?"
“I saw it through Huihui’s fingers.”
Fang Hui was shocked; she hadn't noticed at all.
Luo Shiyu laughed. Afterwards, Zhuge Liang muttered to himself, "I knew something was wrong. How could the son of a smart man like Xu Hao, who started from scratch, be simple?"
The two walked into the courtyard and saw many people on night patrol.
"so many people?"
"It's alright, they're not really focused on night duty. Someone died last night, so they probably think there's something evil here. They'll just take a quick look around. They're all just doing their jobs for money, nobody treats this place like their own home."
