"mother!"

Dabao and Xiaobao's eyes were red, and the mist in their eyes gradually condensed into water.

So angry!

So angry!

What a despicable, shameless, and heartless villain! All the suffering that my mother and the peach blossom demon endured was because of him!

"Mom, Xiao Taohua is going to die!" Dabao and Xiaobao forced themselves to harden their hearts and continue to stimulate their mother who was about to collapse. They secretly swore in their hearts that they must return the pain that their mother and the others had endured double!

Xiao Taohua is going to die?

Ah Zhu had a splitting headache and broke out in cold sweat. The sweat flowed from her forehead into her eyes, blurring her vision. She vaguely saw the blood gushing out of the abdomen of the Peach Blossom Demon, who was about to die. He stretched out his hand to her weakly, his eyes full of sadness.

The buzzing sound in her head grew louder and louder, mixed with unclear voices. The owner of the voice stared at her resentfully, his eyes seemed to be poisoned.

Such familiar eyes...

Ah Zhu subconsciously covered her neck. She couldn't breathe, as if a pair of invisible hands were strangling her neck?

who is it?

Who is that person!

Under the nervous and expectant gazes of Helian Zhan, Jiang Chen, Dabao, Xiaobao, and the little Phoenix spirit demon, Azhu, who was in extreme pain, heard a loud bang deep in her mind, a faint tinnitus rang in her ears, and the vague shadow of the person strangling her neck became clearer.

"I remembered."

"I remembered it all..."

Ah Zhu heard the dry and hoarse voice squeezed out from his teeth. The murderer was gentle and elegant, with a very good temper, as if he would not get angry no matter what others did.

That person was her third uncle!

Zhu Mingchuan!

……

six years ago.

Qingcheng Garden.

At that time, Azhu was still an ordinary person. She did not have infinite strength. She was immersed in medicine jars all year round and was only suffering from illness.

The fourteen-year-old girl was wearing a scarlet brocade fur coat and had an exquisite and lovely hairstyle. She was lying in front of the window, looking at the sky boredly. Her pale and pretty little face made people feel pity for her.

In the past, the eldest brother and his friends would come to accompany her at this time. However, the atmosphere in the court was not right these days. The eldest brother was in office and could not spare time. The other three also had their own things to do. However, they agreed to bring her gifts when they came back.

Ah Zhu hoped that time would pass quickly, preferably in the blink of an eye it would be night. From the yard came the sound of Xiao Taohua - no, her name is Shaoyao now, Shaoyao was calling "Third Master".

Uncle San came to play with her?

Every time Uncle San comes over, he brings her a lot of delicious and fun things!

Ah Zhu stretched his neck and saw Zhu Mingchuan and Shaoyao enter the room one after another.

Shaoyao was holding a bunch of blooming camellias and a basket of pastries wrapped tightly in oil paper, which Zhu Mingchuan had just handed to her.

Shaoyao put the pastries on the table and turned to get the vase.

"I heard that my sister-in-law and nephews were out for something, and I was worried that you would be bored, so I came to see you." The sound of a wheelchair rolled by, and Zhu Mingchuan's smile was as kind and gentle as ever.

Ah Zhu was completely unprepared for him: "They won't be back until tomorrow, it will take a long time."

Her mother usually didn't let her go out, fearing that her condition would worsen, but she was really bored. When would her body get better? She wanted to go out and play whenever she wanted, and her mother wouldn't worry.

"Yes." Zhu Mingchuan said softly, "So no one will come to Qingcheng Garden now."

Ah Zhu nodded, vaguely feeling that there was something wrong with this sentence, and just when he was about to say, "Aren't you here?" he saw Zhu Mingchuan's wide sleeves hanging down, and a sharp cold light was looming.

Shaoyao came over with a vase in her hand, and the short sword as long as his arm pierced into her abdomen.

wow——

The loud noise of the ceramic falling to the ground startled Azhu.

"Peony?"

"What are you doing! Uncle San?!"

Azhu opened his eyes wide in disbelief and ran over in panic.

Zhu Mingchuan held her wrist. Ah Zhu tried her best to shake him off but failed. Instead, she coughed violently out of anger, and her heart ached.

"Cough cough..."

"Shao... Shaoyao, help——"

"Uncle San is crazy!"

Ah Zhu shouted to the outside world. There were many people serving her on normal days, but for some reason, they turned a deaf ear to her cries for help today.

"I've already gone crazy!"

Zhu Mingchuan laughed softly, and his laughter grew louder and louder, filled with madness and deep malice, like a poisonous snake that had been lurking for many days, finally baring its fangs at its prey.

He looked at Ah Zhu's pretty and delicate cheeks, which were flushed with excitement, making her look bright and charming, and his eyes darkened slightly.

"Why did you do this? Why did you kill Shaoyao? If you have any dissatisfaction, come to me!" Ah Zhu racked his brains but couldn't figure out why his third uncle, who was chatting and laughing when they met last time, became so scary today!

Secretly give Shaoyao a look, telling her to run away quickly!

The dying Shaoyao coughed up blood. Zhu Mingchuan stabbed her in the vitals, and a large pool of blood flowed to the ground. All her strength disappeared along with the flowing blood.

Shaoyao didn't run away. She stretched out her hand with great effort to grab the hem of Zhu Mingchuan's clothes: "Miss... hurry up..."

Before she could finish her words, the heavy wheelchair mercilessly rolled over her hand bones.

Peony screamed.

Zhu Mingchuan ignored the people who were in the way and stared at Azhu with his eyes becoming more and more passionate. Doesn’t Zhu Mingshen love this daughter the most?

He was going to destroy her!

Destroyed her from the inside out!

Zhu Mingchuan's eyes sparkled with excitement, and he threw Azhu onto the couch.

Ah Zhu felt like her internal organs were about to fall out, her heart ached, and she could hardly breathe. She held her chest tightly and stood up to run, but before she could run away, she was caught by Zhu Mingchuan.

Zhu Mingchuan held her shoulders with one hand and tore her clothes with the other.

Stab it!

Azhu's brocade jacket was torn off, revealing the hooked shoulders that she wore close to her body.

She was horrified: "I'm your niece!"

"You are Zhu Mingshen's daughter! You owe me this! You owe me!" The hatred that had been suppressed in Zhu Mingchuan's heart for a long time burst out. He looked crazy and neurotically murmured in Azhu's ear.

Ah Zhu opened her eyes wide in horror. This was an unexpected disaster for her. She had no idea about the grudges between her parents. This was the first time she knew that Zhu Mingchuan hated her father!

Zhu Mingchuan's legs were disabled. Even though Ah Zhu looked like Lin Daiyu, sickly and sickly, and had to take medicine all the time, she was still a 14-year-old girl. She scratched and clawed, and bit Zhu Mingchuan's hand tightly with her silver teeth.

Snapped!

Zhu Mingchuan slapped him mercilessly!

Blood was flowing from the corner of Azhu's mouth.

Shaoyao, who was still breathing heavily, crawled over with difficulty. With her other hand trembling in pain, she grabbed the wheel and tried to push down the beastly Zhu Mingchuan in the wheelchair. However, she was thrown out by the furious Zhu Mingchuan.

boom!

Shaoyao fell to the ground, her skull cracked and a pool of blood splattered. In her last glance before death, she saw the young lady they had taken such good care of was strangled by the neck, her clothes disheveled, and she looked in a miserable state!

Zhu Mingchuan grabbed Azhu's neck tightly, and Azhu's sharp nails scratched bloody marks on his arm.

Zhu Mingchuan was enraged again, blood crept into his eyes, his hands tightened, the girl's struggle became weaker and weaker, and after a while there was no movement at all.

Zhu Mingchuan came back to his senses in a daze.

The image of the girl with a bright smile and affectionately calling him "Third Uncle" vaguely appeared in front of him. He felt as if he was scalded and pushed the girl's cold body away.

"If you want to blame someone - blame yourself for being Zhu Mingshen's daughter!" Turning around, the peaceful and tranquil Qingcheng Garden was stained with blood. A sense of pleasure surged in his heart, followed by a greater emptiness.

It’s not enough, I wish Mingshen is still alive!

He cleaned Qingcheng Garden carefully, and did not let go of any maid who was close to or served Azhu.

He lit a fire.

He watched the fire burn more and more fiercely, then turned and left.

But he did not notice that under the huge fire and thick smoke, Azhu, whose body was already cold, was choked awake. The thick smoke made her cough repeatedly, and her mind became clearer.

She saw a sea of ​​fire.

"Peony!"

Azhu stumbled and crawled to Shaoyao's side. Shaoyao's body was already a little stiff and warm tears rolled down her face.

"I will definitely avenge you!"

Ah Zhu swore that as the fire grew more and more intense, she was so smoked that she could hardly see the road. She covered her mouth and nose, and staggered to run out.

But the fire was too big.

Blocking the way to the gate, Azhu turned around and tried to jump out of the window. A half-burned beam fell down from above his head. Azhu dodged in time and was not hit, but was knocked to the ground by the heat wave.

later.

Later, Jiang Chen saved her, and she became Azhu, the female zombie of Qingcheng Mountain.

……

Inside Qingcheng Garden.

Azhu, who has awakened human memory, tells what happened six years ago, holding a peach branch in his hand, and the peach blossoms are blooming with a faint pink light.

When the peach blossom demon was about to lose her soul, Dabao and Xiaobao used talismans to gather her soul, and now it has turned back into a peach tree branch.

"Mom, you've suffered!"

Dabao and Xiaobao threw themselves into Azhu's arms. They couldn't imagine how painful and helpless their mother was at that time. It was all the fault of the bad guy Zhu Mingchuan!

"It's him!" Helian Zhan clenched his fists, "I'm going to kill him!"

What a coincidence.

Jiang Chen had the same idea as him: "I will grind him to dust!"

"I want to go too! I want to take revenge myself. I also promised Shaoyao that blood debt should be repaid with blood!" Ah Zhu put away the peach blossom branch, his eyes filled with anger, "He is so damn good at pretending. When he saw me returning home, he was actually indifferent! Now that I think about it, the bird he gave me was definitely not normal. Fortunately, I didn't keep it with me!"

……

General's Mansion.

While Ah Zhu was regaining his memory, a big event happened on the other side! The whole palace was shrouded in a cloud of sorrow, because -

The urgent news from the border was quickly delivered to the capital city from 800 miles away.

General Zhu Mingshen died on the battlefield!

Upon hearing the bad news, Gu fell into a chair in shock. The blood drained from her face. She looked at the messenger in a daze, as if she had heard it wrongly.

General Zhu and Madam Zhu were also hit so hard that they felt dizzy and their ears were ringing. How could their most outstanding eldest son die? And die so suddenly?

Zhu Yunyan and the others didn't believe it at all. Zhu Yunze impulsively grabbed the soldier's collar and shouted: "Father was fine when I left. How could he die in battle? How could he die in battle? You are talking nonsense!"

The middle-aged soldier had an untidy beard. Due to having been fighting at the border for many years, his yellow and black face was as rough as tree bark. On the way back to Beijing, he rode at full speed and looked ten years older. He looked like an old man who had suffered a great blow and was in a daze.

At this moment, his fists were clenched, his eyes were red, and he was crying like a child.

"A few days ago, evil demons appeared at the border. The enemy generals they controlled were endless and were like walking corpses. They didn't know pain and could be reborn after death! Our army was completely defeated and was forced to retreat to Yanmen Pass--"

"It was the general! The general fought to the death! He finally successfully repelled the enemy and protected the people of our Great Xia Dynasty!"

"The general...will stay on that battlefield forever!"

Gu's mind was empty. She didn't dare to breathe. Her heart was in so much pain. Where was she? Was she dreaming? How could she have such a horrible dream?

Two lines of clear tears just slid down.

"Mingshen, didn't you promise me that you would come home? You also wrote to me saying that you would come back for a few days at the end of the year so that our family could have a reunion dinner. You missed your daughter, and you haven't seen Azhu yet. How could you bear to leave, Mingshen..." Gu's words made everyone's noses sore.

Yes.

Mingshen sent a letter home a few days ago, in which he promised to come back before the New Year. He missed them so much, wanted to see his daughter who was wandering outside, and wanted to see his two lovely grandchildren.

But why?

In just a few days, everything changed dramatically.

It is the same in heaven and hell.

The messenger soldier punched himself in the face with such force that it soon turned black and purple. Deep regret was revealed in his eyes: "It's all because of our incompetence. The general died for us. We don't deserve the general's life to protect us. We don't deserve it..."

The Zhu brothers covered their faces in pain, and their tears could be seen through their fingers.

Miss Han had vowed to protect Yunye's family, but in the blink of an eye, the father he admired the most was gone. Zhu Yunye was upset, and she was also upset.

"My wise, my husband..."

Gu pounded her chest anxiously, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, as if she wanted her blood to turn into tears.

Zhu Yunxiao suppressed his grief and comforted his mother who was about to collapse: "Mom, don't be sad. Even if Dad is still alive, he wouldn't want to see you sad for him."

"Yunxiao is right, eldest wife, please be more open-minded..." General Zhu and Madam Zhu are at an age where they can enjoy their retirement, but they have to send off their loved ones and hold back their grief to comfort the younger generation. They also want to cry their hearts out, but how can they be open-minded? That is their child!

They can't even deceive themselves.

Gu stopped crying, tears flowing uncontrollably. She walked towards the soldier tremblingly: "Where is Mingshen? I don't believe it until I see his body!"

The eager and fragile light in Gu's eyes was so hot that the soldiers avoided him in panic. "The general's body was taken away by the evil spirits and drowned in the sea of ​​corpses. We sent people to look for it, but we only found the general's broken sword."

"The general—no trace left!"

Gu's body went limp and she fainted.

Miss Han quickly caught her: "Madam Gu, Madam?"

Madam Zhu immediately ordered: "Go call Doctor Du!"

Miss Han saw that Zhu Yunye was worried, so she said, "Leave it to me," picked up Gu by the waist, and walked quickly towards her yard.

After Gu left, everyone's eyes were on the soldier who delivered the message.

I must get to the bottom of it!

They can die on the battlefield, wrapped in their horsehide!

No bones left?

How can anyone accept this!

……

Ah Zhu and her group heard the news on their way to find Zhu Mingchuan. She was stunned on the spot. How could her father die? She had not met her father yet.

She hurried to the front hall, and looking at her family members whose faces were filled with grief, her heart sank to the bottom.

"Brother, is this true?" Ah Zhu asked unwillingly.

Zhu Yunyan's voice choked with sobs, and he pounded heavily on the big red pillar with his clenched fists: "I'm sorry, little sister, father made a mistake this time."
