The General's Daughter Doesn't Want to Get Married!-Chapter 126: Unknown Past (2)

The Second Lady was a little mischievous and playful, she liked playing pranks on others. Sneaking in to take a look at Zhu Zhengting and giving him sweets, protecting him from Lady Rui’s rage whenever he did something wrong, and smiling sweetly at him no matter how many times he looked at her, that was the image of her engraved in his mind.

Soon, she became pregnant with a child, and that was his little brother, Bai Yunxian.

"Is it a boy or girl? Do you know, I want to raise a daughter, it’s been a forever wish of mine. But too bad that Ting’er was born a boy, if it’s possible, I want to become your child’s Godmother."

Bai Yunxian’s mother laughed as she said, "What if this child is also a boy like Ting’er? Wouldn’t that be disappointing? Sister?"

"It doesn’t matter, really. Cause I think even if it’s a boy, he will be a cute and obedient one, unlike my little boy!" Lady Rui smiled as she stroked her hair.

Zhu Zhengting could never picture the scene of her poisoning his mother, no matter how much he tried.

But after the incident, his father escorted Bai Yunxian’s mother out in the Empire along with her child who was still an infant and never looked for them again.

He never thought it would be his brother who would reach out to him first, asking for help even knowing there were so many things going on.

"But, how did you discover it? I mean, your mother’s illness? And how did you take care of it? What’s her condition now?" Zhu Zhengting felt anxious as he asked Bai Yunxian.

"She is well now. Before the marriage, when Lord Yun came to propose marriage, he and I met coincidentally, which led to him meeting my mother as well. He was the one to suspect there was something wrong with her body. After making a proper examination by a doctor, she helped my mother meet the divine doctor to seek a cure for it."

Bai Yunxian said as he paused. Then he looked at Zhu Zhengting deeply, "Brother, it wasn’t an incurable illness. Lady Rui was also the same."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Zhengting suddenly felt something was amiss, his gaze hardened as he looked at Bai Yunxian.

"It was true that it’s not due to poison, nor was it an illness. Instead, it was actually a human made disaster that took the life of your mother. And was about to take mine as well."

"What?"

"Both of them had a coincidence, and had the same body constitution. Lady Rui had a constitution that didn’t allow her Qi to regulate into her heart. If Qi were to enter her heart, then she would be poisoned and die. Lady Rui was a strong woman and knew how to strictly maintain and control her Qi so that it wouldn’t reach her heart. But there was something that allowed her Qi to leak off of her control and run towards the heart, causing her to be poisoned."

"...!"

"Not only that, all her vitality was gone, as if being sucked out by something. Her body was wrinkled, dried out and aged, as if she was in her old age dying off."

"No, wait a minute! How, how do you know all this?" Zhu Zhengting felt dizzy the more he heard from Bai Yunxian. Everything he said felt like it was unreasonable and unbelievable, but at the same time, he couldn’t help but to feel like believing him.

"You were just an infant, and, I, I was forbidden to take a look at my mother for the last time. So how did you know all this?!"

It was true, but the thing of Bai Yunxian regressing was also true. In those countless regressions, there have been a few times when he was able to enter the clan and meet his real family. He also got to know the reason for how they separated. It’s a shame that all those times, his mother was already dead when he entered the clan.

And he also got to know of Lady Rui’s ending that was similar to his mother, but never got the time to tell them.

Of course, there is no way he is gonna tell that he got to know all that from his previous lives!

"My mother seemed to be fond of you and your mother very much, even more than me, her blood- related son. So she would reminisce about her past from time to time, and say the same thing countless times that I couldn’t be more informed than this. Guess I know everything about you from head to toe, brother." Bai Yunxian smirked as he teased Zhu Zhengting, who seemed to be alert as soon as he heard his words.

"W-what do you know?! I’ve changed from the past, so there is nothing you know the same anyway. Ahem! What happened to your mother? Is she... healthy now?" Zhu Zhengting pretended to cough as he tried to change the topic.

But Bai Yunxian’s teasing brain cells were already at work.

"Oh? But I remember someone who likes sweets so much that he got caught stealing from the kitchen countless times—" Before Bai Yunxian could say anything more, Zhu Zhengting was dead set on stopping him from speaking any further. freёnovelkiss.com

"Stop, stop it! I swear!" He covered his brother’s mouth with both hands as he screamed. Fortunately the place was already surrounded with silence spell, no one could hear what was going on between them.

"Fine, fine, I’ll stop. Thanks to Lord Yun discovering the symptoms and arranging everything soon, mother is now safe and sound. As for me, I’m working with him under the guise of a lady to repay him back."

Bai Yunxian finally finished speaking, Zhu Zhengting let go of him. However, he had a serious expression on his face as he asked, "Is it only about you working for him?"
