Chapter 37

~7 min read 1,393 words

What? Duan Zhengchun once had a son, but he was strangled to death by his mother?

Duan Zhengchun also had such a cruel woman, even able to strangle her own biological son to death?

If she was Duan Zhengchun's daughter, then the boy who was strangled to death must be either her older brother or her younger brother, right?

As for Duan Yu, Lin Fan had long said that he was not Duan Zhengchun's biological son, so that had nothing to do with her.

"Then which five daughters of peerless beauty does Duan Zhengchun have? Are any of them as beautiful as Sister Azhu?"

Zhu Abi saw Azhu stunned and quickly helped her ask.

"Um, the daughter Duan Zhengchun had with Qin Hongmian is called Mu Wanqing, the daughter with Gan Baobao is called Zhong Ling, the daughter with Li Qingluo is called Wang Yuyan, the daughter with Ruan Xingzhu is Seeing Azi, er..."

Lin Fan looked at Azhu, who was hesitant to speak, not knowing whether he should say it out loud.

"Is it the Wang Yuyan I know? The cousin from Mantuo Shanzhuang? And who is the other daughter Ruan Xingzhu gave birth to?"

Azhu also came back to her senses at this time and quickly asked.

"It is indeed the Wang Yuyan from Mantuo Shanzhuang you know, but how do you know Ruan Xingzhu gave birth to two daughters?"

Lin Fan looked strangely at the excited Azhu. Could it be that she knew her own life story? That was impossible.

At this time, Duan Yu hadn't left home yet, and Azhu hadn't even met Qiao Feng. Where did she know her life story from?

"Young Master is really stupid. Didn't you say Duan Zhengchun has five daughters of peerless beauty? You only said four, and when you mentioned Ruan Xingzhu, you were still stuttering. She must have another daughter. Do you think it could be Zhu Abi? Zhu Abi is also very good-looking!"

Zhu Abi saw Azhu lose her composure and Lin Fan become suspicious, so she quickly spoke up to help attract Lin Fan's attention.

"Zhu Abi is indeed gentle and lovely, but Ruan Xingzhu's other daughter is not you, but your Sister Azhu!"

"What, it's me? Is it really me?" Azhu muttered to herself.

"Really? Have you heard this rumor before?" Lin Fan was a bit confused.

"No, I was just too excited. Young Master, do I really have a father and mother?"

Azhu excitedly hugged Lin Fan's arm, making Lin Fan enjoy it endlessly.

"It is indeed you. People don't just pop out of cracks in stones. How could you not have parents!" Lin Fan said comfortingly.

"Wuwuwu, Young Master, I don't have parents. Zhu Abi doesn't know where she came from!"

Zhu Abi thought that Sister Azhu could find her parents and felt happy for her, but remembering her own status as an orphan, she couldn't help but feel sad and threw herself into Lin Fan's arms, sobbing softly.

"It's okay, it's okay. From now on, I will be your father. You can call me Dad!" Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Young Master. Young Master, you are so good. Ah, wait, no, Young Master, you are taking advantage of me!"

Zhu Abi was very moved at first, but then felt something was wrong. After thinking for a moment, she realized Lin Fan was taking advantage of her. How could she call the Young Master 'Dad'?

"What's the situation?"

Huang Rong and Lv He came over after finishing dinner and found Lin Fan holding them in his arms, very happy.

Azhu and Zhu Abi saw the two women arrive and quickly stepped back a few steps, leaving Lin Fan's side.

"It's Sister Azhu who found out her life story, so she was very excited. I thought of my own status as an orphan and felt a bit sad, so I cried in the Young Master's arms. Don't misunderstand!" Zhu Abi quickly explained.

"Forget it, you two will be eaten by the Young Master sooner or later, leaving not even bones. Whether it's a misunderstanding or not doesn't matter anymore!"

Lv He also saw it through. This was impossible to guard against; she could only let nature take its course.

"Life story?"

Huang Rong was thoughtful. It seems Lin Fan told Azhu who her parents were.

"Young Master, am I really Duan Zhengchun's daughter? Is my mother named Ruan Xingzhu?"

"That's right. There is a character 'Duan' tattooed on your shoulder, and you have a longevity lock on your body, on which is written: 'Bamboo by the lake, green and lush, reporting peace, much joy'."

"Your younger sister Seeing Azi is the same as you, but her longevity lock has written on it: 'Stars in the sky, bright and sparkling, forever brilliant, Chang'an peace'."

Since he had already said it, Lin Fan didn't mind telling the whole story. Anyway, he didn't need to explain anything. If Azhu believed it, she believed it; if not, so be it.

"Then are my mother and sister okay?"

Azhu didn't have a good impression of her biological father, Duan Zhengchun. Moreover, as the Prince of Zhennan of Dali, he had no worries about food and clothing and lived a happy and romantic life, so she didn't need to worry about him. But she didn't know about her mother and sister. Just as mentioned in Lin Fan's diary, Duan Zhengchun was a scumbag who disappeared after playing around, but her mother and sister must have lived a very hard life.

"Your mother Ruan Xingzhu came from a traditional family. She was pregnant before marriage and gave birth to you and your sister. Unable to stand in the family, she could only give you and your sister away to be raised, and she lived in seclusion in the small Mirror Lake northwest of Xinyang. For some reason, you ended up in the Murong family, and your sister ended up in the Star-Extinguishing Sect!"

"What, my sister is in the Xingxiu Sect?"

Azhu was panicked when she heard this. The Xingxiu Sect was a wicked sect. The Old Immortal of Xingxiu, Ding Chunqiu, was good at poison arts and was moody. Was her sister suffering all kinds of torture and bitterness there?

"Don't worry, Seeing Azi is doing well and hasn't suffered any torture. However, after staying in the Xingxiu Sect for a long time, she has also become insidious and cunning, and as moody as Ding Chunqiu."

Lin Fan saw Azhu's panicked look and couldn't help but comfort her.

The women heard Lin Fan's words, and except for Azhu, they all rolled their eyes. This comfort was better left unsaid.

"My sister must have suffered a lot. In that wicked sect where there is danger to life at any time, it was a last resort for her to develop such a personality. Otherwise, she might not have survived until now."

Azhu now had a tendency to be a sister-obsessed person. She and Seeing Azi had never met, but knowing she was the older sister and Seeing Azi was the younger sister, she felt sorry for Seeing Azi and felt guilty for not being able to take care of her.

"Young Master, please save Seeing Azi. Azhu is willing to be a slave and maid, and offer herself to you!" Azhu suddenly knelt in front of Lin Fan.

"Zhu Abi too!" Zhu Abi saw Azhu so anxious and also knelt down.

Lin Fan quickly helped them up. "Do you think there is any possibility of leaving once you enter my Lin Fu? From the moment you entered the Lin Fu, you were my people. As for Seeing Azi, don't worry, she stole Ding Chunqiu's Divine Wood King Tripod and is heading to the Central Plains. I presume you will be able to meet soon!"

Azhu was both relieved and worried when she heard this. She was looking forward to meeting Seeing Azi, but also worried about Seeing Azi's safety.

"Since Lin Fan says so, then you can rest assured. Your sister must be fine, don't worry."

Huang Rong saw Azhu's worry and comforted her.

"That's right, let's hurry up and eat!" Lv He said with a smile.

Azhu nodded. Since Lin Fan thought Seeing Azi was fine, there should be no danger.

Then Lin Fan led the young women to have dinner.
