The daily life of the little princess of the royal group

Chapter 172 Suspect Gao’s Self-narration

Dali Temple Prison.

Gao Tianba never thought that he would see this little girl again. He placed the handkerchief on his chest, where it felt slightly warm.

"You, are you here to see me?" Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time, his voice was very hoarse, but one could hear his surprise.

Mingyue nodded, and looking at the emaciated man in front of her, a trace of sadness welled up in her heart.

Wen Xun and Mingyue came in together. He was surprised that Gao Tianba was really willing to speak to Mingyue!

Mingyue pulled Wen Xun's sleeve and asked Gao Tianba, "They don't give you food?"

"No."

"So they beat you?"

"No."

Wen Xun pushed Mingyue onto the chair and said, "Sit down. I didn't ask you to come here to reminisce about the past."

"Oh." Mingyue was a little embarrassed, so she said seriously, "Oh, you are not Gao Tianba."

When these words were spoken, Wen Xun and "Gao Tianba" were both stunned.

Seeing him like that, Mingyue knew that her guess was correct. "Hey, we've found out. You're not Gao Tianba. Can you tell us who you are?"

"Gao Tianba's" originally hunched body and drooping head suddenly straightened up solemnly.

The next moment, he raised his bright eyes and met Mingyue's gaze. "Hello, nice to meet you again. My name is Gao Chuan."

Without waiting for Mingyue to speak, he continued talking on his own.

"My name is Gao Chuan, and Gao Tianba and I are twins from the same mother."

"It's just that my birth has brought me misfortune."

"Cough cough."

Mingyue handed him a cup of warm water at the right time, and he drank it in one gulp.

"After my mother successfully gave birth to my brother, she began an endless labor, and it was not until dawn the next day that she gave birth to me."

"When my mother gave birth to me, my father ran to find a doctor, but he accidentally rolled down the mountain. When he was found, his body had been completely eaten by wolves."

"My mother also started to resent me for this."

"My mother has mentioned this to me countless times. At the time, she didn't even know she was pregnant. A Taoist priest once passed by and said to her, 'You are carrying two children. One is a born evil, like an evil spirit. If he were to be born, he would bring disaster to the region. The other is the reincarnation of a powerful being. Please treat your child well.'"

"So many people started talking about my mother behind her back, saying she was pregnant with a monster and that the baby would be a monster. She didn't even know she was two months pregnant at the time, so she didn't believe it at all."

"It wasn't until later that she realized she might be pregnant with twins, which might confirm the old Taoist's prediction. Terrified of what people would say, she urged my father to go to the mountains to give birth."

"She originally planned to throw me away. She felt that my birth had killed my father and had also brought disaster to her. But my brother kept holding me close. He would cry without me. My mother kept me for him and advertised to the public that she had only given birth to one child."

"Later, she couldn't raise two children by herself, so she followed a traveling merchant from another place. We grew up with the merchant and settled down in Shanzhou. I was never worthy of a name."

"My name was given to me by my stepfather, but every time he suggested giving me an identity, my mother would stop him."

"I have been locked up in a small dark room since I was a child. Except that my brother would come to see me and switch identities with me so that I could get out for him."

"Although he always asks me to go out for him after he gets into trouble, it is a great honor for me."

"After my mother found out about this, she deliberately trained me to be exactly like my eldest brother."

"We are twins and look alike. Later, she asked me to eat as much as he did. When he was injured, she cut me in the same place."

"Especially, when I grew up, they discovered that I was quite talented in studying, so they planned to let me take the exam for Gao Tianba."

"It's ridiculous that I studied so hard, but in the end, I ended up doing nothing but making wedding dresses for others."

As he spoke, Gao Chuan burst into tears.

Wen Xun hadn't expected this outcome. Although he didn't fully believe it, he was still moved. He couldn't help but think of his younger brother, who lived far away in Jiangnan. Although they were almost ten years apart in age and usually looked down on each other, they understood each other through their every move.

Mingyue was like watching a melodrama, tears streaming down her face, while Wen Xun wiped them away with a handkerchief from behind. "What happens next?"

"After that?" Gao Chuan smiled bitterly. "After that, I was promoted all the way. All the glory was his, and all the hardship was mine."

"I was in the back room of the yamen reviewing cases, while he was out there socializing and living a life of debauchery."

"I was dealing with a disaster, putting myself in danger, and he took advantage of my absence to kidnap decent girls in the city."

"While I was mending my undershirt, he was wearing the robe that my mother had made stitch by stitch, and he ran to show it off to me."

Wen Xun remained skeptical: "You are so capable, why don't you take over?"

He chuckled at first, then revealed an understanding expression, "I guess this gentleman must have been loved by his parents since he was young."

“Since I was little, my mother has been whispering in my ear”

"If it weren't for your brother, I would have thrown you away long ago. You must repay him with your life."

"Is it easy for me to raise you alone?"

"It's all thanks to your brother that a sinister person like you can survive in this world."

"You killed your father. You should live in darkness for the rest of your life to atone for your sin."

"I've already accepted this fact."

When he said this, he showed no sadness or joy, but his eyes seemed to be able to speak, revealing endless despair and bitterness.

Mingyue sniffed, "Uncle, so, now that you've been arrested, are you deliberately coming out to take the blame?"

"Well, they keep asking me to repay them, so the only thing left to repay is this worthless life."

Wen Xun: "Then why do you choose to tell us now?"

"Because, this little fairy." Gao Chuan looked at Mingyue gently.

He took out a handkerchief from his bosom and said, "You are the first person in my life who has ever looked me in the eye, respected me, and made me feel like an independent person, not someone's shadow."

Mingyue felt a little embarrassed. She had originally thought that Gao Chuan was ferocious, but when she got close to him, she found that he was not a bad guy. Instead, she could see a hint of kindness in his ferocious expression.

When Mingyue and Wenxun were interrogating, they seemed to see that there were not many people around, but in fact, there were dozens of pairs of ears outside the house, pressed against the wall, eavesdropping.

Many people had tears in their eyes. The cold-faced guards around them covered the mouths of those who were about to burst into tears and dragged them away. If they saw someone who couldn't help but sniffle, they would carry them up and drag them away.

So much so that the adult who waited until the end had a red face, red eyes, and red nose: Who understands, I fired at him right in the face before, damn it.
