“Do you want to know about the illusion I weaved for him? Since you want to know, I’ll tell you,” the woman said. When she opened her mouth, her wrinkles grew even more prominent.
The woman smiled darkly and sat cross-legged on the ground before she said nonchalantly, “The biggest knot in his heart should be the incident in the imperial mausoleum when you abandoned him. I didn’t do anything special. I only let him experience it all over again…”
Yu Yunxi clenched her hands tightly, resisting the urge to attack the woman. Feng Yili had yet to wake up from the illusion so she could not kill the other party yet. She gritted her teeth and asked, “What am I doing in his illusion?”
“In the illusion, I’m showing how you chose to abandon him because you were afraid of death,” the woman said with a mocking smile, “It only takes a moment to drive someone crazy. Back then, due to what he perceived as your abandonment of him, he locked himself in his residence for a year. Since he was young, his mother hated him. When he grew up, he went to the battlefield. To protect Tianxia, he turned himself into a demon and killed without batting an eyelid. Everyone was afraid of him and hated him…”
The woman paused dramatically before she continued to say, “Therefore, he thought you were the same as the others. He thought you hated him and was afraid of him so you abandoned him.”
The woman cackled as she said, “If he hates you again in the illusion, he’ll become a bloodthirsty demon again. Then, he’ll be trapped in the illusion and die there!”
“Tell me how to save him!”
Yu Yunxi’s eyes were red as she lunged over and strangled the woman. The woman’s neck was thin, and the skin there was as coarse as a tree’s bark.
Yu Yunxi knew that Feng Yili was very sensitive even though everyone only saw him as powerful and indestructible. They did not consider his age when his father died or when his brother began to suspect him and sent him to the battlefield. He was the Prince Regent and the fearsome god of war in Tianxia, but in her eyes, he was just an ordinary person who wanted to be loved just like everyone else.
“Why are you torturing him with that incident? Moreover, I didn’t abandon him back then!” Yu Yunxi said. Tears welled up in her eyes, ready to fall at any moment.
Seeing Yu Yunxi in such a state, the woman who was calm just a moment ago was enraged. She glared at Yu Yunxi and roared, “You’re not allowed to cry! Stop crying! You’re a descendant of the Xiao family! You can’t cry for a filthy man! You’re not allowed to cry!”
Yu Yunxi was so worried about Feng Yili that she was about to lose her mind. She asked again, “Tell me, how can I save him? Otherwise, I’ll kill you!”
Faced with the murderous Yu Yunxi, the woman said in disgust, “There’s no way, unless he can break free from the illusion on his own. Otherwise, he can only wait for death. However, apart from members of the Xiao family, no one can break free from my illusion!”
The woman’s mood improved visibly at the end of her words. After all, the other party was going to die soon. Why should she be angry?
“You keep mentioning the Xiao family. What do you want from me? Are you really the person who was behind the haunting?”
“At this point, I’m too lazy to hide it from you. That’s right. I’m the one who caused the servants to go crazy and commit suicide. I’ve been hiding in this place for over twenty years to wait for your mother’s return…” the woman said. Then, she began to mutter to herself, “Your mother clearly loved the King of Zhenbei so much, but in the end, she died in Tianxia. Ha, she really put in a lot of effort to prevent the Xiao family from going after the King of Zhenbei.”
“The Xiao family again! What does the Xiao family want? My grandmother lost her memory, my mother lost her memory, and even I lost my memory as well. Was it all your doing?” Yu Yunxi questioned angrily.
The woman looked at Yu Yunxi and said frostily, “You’re a member of the Xiao family. The Xiao family isn’t the direct cause of the memory loss, but we indeed took advantage of the situation. You’ve been investigating the Xiao family so I’m not surprised you know that the family’s hundred-year-old curse will cause the women to lose their memories. However, the curse is not unbreakable. If the woman gets married and gives birth, all she has to do is kill her partner, and she won’t lose her memories!”
“What?”
Yu Yunxi looked at the woman in shock. She did not expect the Xiao family to break the curse in such a way.
“There’s no need to look at me with such disgust. The Xiao family didn’t do anything wrong. Back then, the Xiao family was cursed because of a man. Men will only bring disaster to our Xiao family! The only purpose of their existence is to help us carry on our Xiao family’s bloodline. After they serve their purpose, it’s only natural for them to die!” the woman said sinisterly.
Yu Yunxi laughed angrily. “So you were the one who poisoned Grandfather back then, right?”
Upon hearing this, the woman was angry again. She said, “Back then, your grandmother refused to harm Chu Ruishi no matter what. Hence, we planned to do it for her. Unexpectedly, someone beat us to it…
Yu Yunxi frowned slightly upon hearing this. The other party did not look like she was lying.
‘So who poisoned Grandfather then?’
“Your mother probably suspected that we tried to murder your grandfather so she fled. She was naive and thought that this would stop us from killing your father.’
“You want to kill my father?”
Yu Yunxi’s eyes shone with killing intent again.
“Ha, he’s quite capable. After so many years of trying, we still didn’t manage to kill him,” the woman said indignantly. Yu Yunxi sighed in relief when she heard this.
‘It’s good that Father is fine…’
After a moment, she asked, “Who else is there apart from you?”
The woman had done so many things in Xichu without being discovered. Yu Yunxi naturally did not think that the woman was alone. Moreover, the woman kept using the word ‘we’.
The woman scoffed and said, “There’s no need to ask so many questions. It’s useless. You’ve already given birth. This Feng Yili is useless. You and the little master should follow me back. The Xiao family has been waiting for you for a long time.”
As the woman spoke, she tried to knock Yu Yunxi out.
However, Yu Yunxi nimbly avoided the woman. Then, she brought an item out and asked, “Is this the Xiao family’s token? I remember that Mother had one just like this, but she burned it.”
Yu Yunxi had secretly taken this token from the woman earlier.
The woman narrowed her eyes and asked, “When did you take that? I didn’t notice.”
Yu Yunxi did not intend to answer the question. She murmured, “No wonder. I asked my mother why she hated the token so much, and at that time, she told me that the token would only bring misfortune. It’s true. It’s really a misfortune that we’re from such a terrible maternal family. How could she not hate the family?”
Upon hearing these words, the woman finally realized that something was wrong.. She exclaimed in shock, “You’ve recovered your memories?!”
