Let s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 312: Chapter 312 Minister under the Skirt (34)
 

At that time, the couple was staying with a collateral branch of the Jun Family, not residing in the main house, so when the people from the Jun Family went to find them, the child had already been born.

The Jun Family feared that prophecy.

What would happen to the status of the Jun Family if this child were to grow up?

Could it really allow this child to overturn Dongyuan?

Impossible!

Therefore, the Jun Family wanted to kill the child… along with that couple, the dead are the safest option.

Word of this matter leaked out, and the couple fled with their child.

“How could the Shen Family be so familiar with this affair?” Jun Family Master interrupted Patriarch Shen.

“Cough cough…” Patriarch Shen suppressed his cough: “Because at that time my father saved that woman.”

“Do you really think my father agreed to the actions five years ago because he was persuaded by you?”

Jun Family Master’s heart skipped wildly.

Was it not so?

“Perhaps you should listen to the rest of what I have to say,” Patriarch Shen suggested.

Jun Family Master clenched his fists.

At that time, the couple was driven into a desperate situation and forced to separate; the man fled with the child, while the woman, seriously injured and unconscious, was saved by the old Patriarch of the Shen Family.

The old Patriarch of the Shen Family recognized the woman; she was from the Heavy Snow Night Moon.

While the woman was gravely injured and her consciousness blurred, the old Patriarch of the Shen Family learned a secret from her.

Their child was still with the Jun Family, and the child they were holding was born to the wife of a friend who had taken refuge in the Jun Family’s home after the incident, who then induced early labor.

Whether it was because of the premature birth, this child was slightly different from normal people.

During the escape, it seemed someone noticed this difference.

Jun Family Master was also able to recognize Chuzheng by this fact.

Chuzheng: “…” If only I hadn’t used Xuan Qi, I wouldn’t have brought all these troubles on myself, ah, I really want to get rid of it.

Firstly from…

“When my father went there, the child was no longer present,” Patriarch Shen stated.

“Impossible, the births of Jun Family children were all recorded, how could no one have noticed one missing child?” Jun Family Master objected.

“Jun Family Master, they were twins,” Patriarch Shen said, looking toward Chuzheng and Chu Yingyu.

Chuzheng, who was still pondering whom to target first: “???” What does this have to do with me.

Chu Yingyu, on the other hand, frowned as he looked at her.

“Although I don’t know what happened between you, you are probably the twin children from back then; one remained with the Jun Family, while the other was mistaken for that child and fled with them… cough cough cough…”

Patriarch Shen’s body swayed, and someone behind him supported him.

“Family Head.”

“It’s nothing,” Patriarch Shen shook his head and took a moment to continue: “Because your parents helped that couple to escape, they were executed not long after, leaving the child to grow up in the Jun Family with difficulty…”

Memories missing from Chuzheng’s mind began to resurface as Patriarch Shen recounted the story, seeming to also start recovering.

These memories came flooding back, causing waves of pain in her head.

Chuzheng’s face was tight, showing no outward signs of the anomaly.

The original owner grew up despised and loathed in the Jun Family environment.

As for Chu Yingyu, he had somehow ended up in the Lower Realm and even became the Grand Imperial Princess.

Possibly due to the different environment of the Lower Realm, Chu Yingyu’s Xuan Qi was indistinguishable from that of an ordinary person, whereas Jun Chuzheng, because of her abnormal Xuan Qi, never dared to show it in front of others.

So in the eyes of these children, she was nothing but useless.

Later, the original owner found out about her sister from the relics left by their parents.

She had not had the chance to investigate this matter when the Jun Family sent someone to bring her to the Jun Family.

They made her take the position of the young lady of the Jun Family, demanding she protect the elder young master of the Jun Family well.

Did the Jun Family’s elder young master need protection?

This question puzzled the original owner, but soon she learned that the elder young master of the Jun Family had been crippled by someone for some unknown reason.

Because of this incident, the elder young master tormented others daily.

When she became the young lady of the Jun Family, he found fault with her wherever he looked; at times he would scold her, and at others, he would use various means to torment her.

She was just a person chosen by the Jun Family, not a real young lady, without the right to bear any dissatisfaction toward the elder young master.

The Jun Family would not care about her fate.

She was diligently taught every day.

But she didn’t dare to reveal her true strength in front of these people, her Xuan Qi was different…

Perhaps because she had always lived this way, the original owner knew that her abnormality could become a death warrant for her.

She looked for opportunities to leave the Jun Family every day.

At last, she found her chance, a ruin had opened in the Lingxiang Residence, and it was rumored that great fortunes lay within; the eldest young master of the Jun Family insisted on going.

She was named to accompany him.

After entering the ruin, the original owner seized an opportunity to flee.

But the ruin was too dangerous for her.

The ruin was fraught with crises, the original owner was chased by a Xuan beast within the ruins, and in her panic, she fell into a dark space, then she lost consciousness.

The ruin was probably connected to the Secret Realm of the Lower Realm, and since they were twins, they switched places under some coincidence.

Chuzheng: “…”

This is indeed a grand performance.

Admirable, admirable.

Can I start killing now?

“Why should we believe what you’re saying is true?” the Jun Family Master’s face was ashen.

Deep down, he already had his suspicions.

After all, Chuzheng and Chu Yingyu looked exactly alike.

No two people in the world could be so similar unless they were twins…

Patriarch Shen said, “Father had always wanted to find that child, but whenever someone involved either went missing or died, there was no news until the Jun Family Master came to us.”

The people from Heavy Snow Night Moon were most likely to return to Heavy Snow Night Moon.

And when the Jun Family Master brought that kind of news, he immediately thought of that child.

Everyone has ambitions.

The Shen Family had theirs as well.

That’s why there was a joint effort to overthrow Heavy Snow Night Moon five years ago.

But when Heavy Snow Night Moon fell, the old Patriarch Shen didn’t find his child.

Following that, the old Patriarch Shen’s health began to decline.

“After that incident, just how many have perished among the three great families, do you really think it’s a coincidence?” Patriarch Shen’s mouth twisted into a bitter smile, “With the eldest young master of the Jun Family so powerful, how could he become crippled by an attack from a Xuan beast?”

The face of the Jun Family Master suddenly changed.

The Jun Family had kept this matter tightly under wraps, how could he know about it?

Patriarch Shen continued, “The Young Master of the Murong Family also suffered injuries that were hard to heal, and two legitimate daughters of his family ended up one dead, one mad.”

The Murong Family Master’s face also changed.

The Murong Family sought the Primordial Spirit Golden Pill for the Young Master of the Murong Family.

“Our Shen Family…” Patriarch Shen couldn’t stop coughing, “Father suddenly passed away, and my health has also begun to deteriorate, and I’m sure both Family Masters have undergone changes.”

This statement deeply affected both the Murong Family Master and the Jun Family Master.

For the past two years, the Jun Family Master had not made any breakthroughs, and every time he felt close to a breakthrough, each seclusion almost led him to go berserk.

It was the same for the Murong Family Master, his strength stagnant.

“How… how could you know so much?”

The Murong Family Master gritted his teeth.

He didn’t want to admit it, but every word Patriarch Shen said seemed to be correct.

Patriarch Shen said, “Father had an epiphany when he was on his deathbed, but by then it was already too late, Heavy Snow Night Moon had collapsed, and the Xie Clan had been destroyed.”

“Following my father’s instructions, I found the woman he had saved back then.”

“She was out of her senses, and it took me several years to piece together the fragments of what she said.”

But by that time, the Xie Clan had fallen, not a single survivor left.

However…

Now there was someone still alive.

He had to rectify his father’s past mistakes.
