Chapter 732: Full-level Boss Dressed As a Peasant Girl
Chapter 732: Shu Yu's Similar Experience
The Meng family couldn't stop Meng Yunzheng from leaving, so they could only watch him leave and return to the capital.
Shu Yu had a new understanding of Gong Qiu's shamelessness. He had already sent someone to kill Song Xin and Meng Pei, yet he still tried to tarnish Meng Pei's reputation and drag the entire Meng family into a scandalous whirlpool.
"This person is cruel and truly deserves to die," Shu Yu clenched his fists and asked, "But what about his wife? Will she agree to this?"
Meng Yunzheng sneered, "Agree or not, what difference does it make? In the past ten years, Gong Qiu has climbed up step by step. Moreover, he has a confidant in his harem, so he no longer needs to fear his wife's family. The most important thing is that his legitimate children are few. In these ten years, he only has one son and one daughter, and that son was born from a concubine. At the time, he was only three years old, and although he was raised by his wife, he is weak and sickly. It's uncertain if he'll survive to adulthood."
On the other hand, Meng Yunzheng was healthy, without any ailments, and had trained in martial arts and studied. As a son of convenience, he couldn't bear to let go.
But Gong Qiu was also worried that Meng Yunzheng knew about the events of the past, so he deliberately probed him indirectly.
Having been an official for many years, Gong Qiu exuded the domineering aura of a person in power. When this astonishing aura was used against a ten-year-old child, he naturally had full confidence.
Sure enough, faced with Gong Qiu, Meng Yunzheng was fearful and scared. He practically answered every question truthfully, even revealing a lot about Song Xin at the right moments.
Gong Qiu understood that Song Xin wanted Meng Yunzheng to live a peaceful life, which was why she hadn't told him about the past. Even before he found him, Meng Yunzheng didn't know that Meng Pei wasn't his biological father.
Gong Qiu was satisfied with this answer.
Little did he know that Meng Yunzheng's resilience was much stronger than he had assumed. His shocked and puzzled reactions were all an act.
From the moment his mother died, he had buried his hatred deep inside, ready to seek revenge when the time was right.
Over the next nine years, Meng Yunzheng lived in the Gong family.
He showed no remarkable qualities, and was even a bit dull and slow in his studies, often falling behind his teachers.
This puzzled Gong Qiu, as the information he had gathered suggested that the child was talented in his studies.
To dispel any suspicion, Meng Yunzheng deliberately spread rumors that he had become like this due to being drugged and inhaling too much smoke, causing damage to his brain and changing his personality.
As expected, Gong Qiu became furious upon hearing this news. He later found an opportunity to deal with the subordinate who had killed Song Xin.
Meng Yunzheng exacted a portion of his revenge, feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
He began secretly cultivating his own power and contacted the archenemy of the concubine who had a connection with Gong Qiu.
Yes, he not only wanted to deal with Gong Qiu, but also bring down that concubine and her son.
Unable to resist, Shu Yu reached out and placed his hand on Meng Yunzheng's back, looking at his slightly reddened eyes. "Yes, there's no use in bringing down Gong Qiu alone. That person behind him is also not a good person."
Meng Yunzheng was taken aback, but then he smiled. "I know you'll stand by my side."
Of course, Shu Yu would stand by his side. She thought of her past self and how similar she was to Meng Yunzheng now.
Both had lost their parents, spent years undercover beside their parents' killers, and patiently waited for the opportunity to seek revenge.
If she could do it, then Meng Yunzheng could definitely do it too.
"By the way, what about your father? From what you said earlier, he's alright, right?" Shu Yu asked.
