The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Chapter 732: Chapter 732: Shu Yu and His Similar Experience Chapter 732: Chapter 732: Shu Yu and His Similar Experience The Meng family could not stop him, they could only watch helplessly as Meng Yunzheng left home and returned to the capital.

Shu Yu had a new understanding of Gong Qiu’s shamelessness. This man had already sent someone to kill Song Xin and Meng Pei, yet he still wanted to smear Meng Pei and drag the entire Meng family into a scandal.

“This man is merciless. Truly, his death would be no pity,” Shu Yu clenched her fist and asked him, “Then he’s taking you back with him, will his household Madam agree?”

Meng Yunzheng sneered, “What does it matter if she doesn’t agree? Ten years is enough time for Gong Qiu to climb his way up step by step. Moreover, he has a helper in his harem, and no longer needs to fear his wife’s family. Most importantly, he has few children. In these ten years, under his knees, he sired only a son and a daughter, and even that son was born of a concubine and was only three years old at the time. Although he was raised by his wife, he was frail and sickly, one couldn’t even know if he could survive into adulthood.”

And him, healthy and sturdy, pain-free and disease-free, and having practiced martial arts and received an education, of course, Gong Qiu couldn’t bear to let go of such a convenient son.

But Gong Qiu was also worried that he might know about those past events, so he deliberately beat around the bush to test him.

Having been in an official position for many years, Gong Qiu exuded an aggressiveness characteristic of those with authority. Of course, he was full of confidence when using this overwhelming force towards a ten-year-old child.

Indeed, in the face of Gong Qiu, Meng Yunzheng was frightened and afraid, he would say anything in response to questions and even revealed quite a bit about Song Xin timely.

Gong Qiu then understood that Song Xin wanted to give Meng Yunzheng a peaceful life, so she had never told him about those past events. Before Gong Qiu had found him, he didn’t even know Meng Pei was not his biological father.

Gong Qiu was satisfied with this answer.

Little did he know that Meng Yunzheng’s will was much stronger than he had imagined. The words he spoke were half-truths; the display of shock and confusion was all an act.

From the moment of his mother’s death, he had buried his hatred and waited for the opportunity for revenge.

In the following nine years, Meng Yunzheng lived with the Gong Family.

He appeared unremarkable, even somewhat dull and slow, and often couldn’t keep up with the teacher’s pace during his studies.

This puzzled Gong Qiu greatly. Clearly, the information he had gathered suggested that the child had a gift for learning.

Meng Yunzheng, fearing his suspicions, had someone spread the word that his current condition might be due to the knockout powder he had been exposed to, as well as inhaling too much thick smoke, causing brain damage, which led to his present state.

As expected, after learning of this, Gong Qiu was enraged and later found an opportunity to dispose of the subordinate who had killed Song Xin.

Meng Yunzheng felt a surge of satisfaction having avenged part of his grudge.

He began to secretly cultivate his own power, initiating contact with the archrival of the concubine involved with Gong Qiu.

Yes, he was not only going to deal with Gong Qiu, but he also intended to bring down that concubine and her son.

Unable to resist, Shu Yu reached out and laid her hand on the back of his, looking into his slightly reddened eyes as she said, “Right, what’s the use of just bringing down Gong Qiu? The one behind him is no good either.”

Meng Yunzheng was stunned and then laughed, “I know, you will stand by my side.”

Of course, she would stand by his side. Shu Yu thought of her past self and how similar she was to the current Meng Yunzheng.

Both had their parents murdered, lurking for years beside the killer, enduring humiliation and hardship to find an opportunity for revenge.

If she could do it, Meng Yunzheng certainly could too.

“By the way, what about your dad? From what you said earlier, your dad is okay, right?”
