Chapter 341 Ye Peng’s Benefactor
As soon as Shangguan Zhenhua returned to Ye's house, Ye Tang came over and told him about the old woman.
Shangguan Zhenhua was a little surprised: "Did you see that old woman too?"
"Also?" Ye Tang frowned slightly: "Grandfather also met him?"
"Yes, I also saw her enter the Ye Mansion." Shangguan Zhenhua said indifferently: "There was no Ye Mansion before."
Ye Tang looked solemn: "Is it really just a coincidence?"
"Where are the others?"
"Dad is looking after the kids. Ping An is practicing martial arts with his brother-in-law. My great uncle is out. He said he wants to wander around Yuncheng for two days by himself and asked us to leave him alone."
Shangguan Zhenhua sighed softly upon hearing this: "Although your great-uncle already knows who he is and has recognized us, he has no recollection of who turned him into a dead soldier, and he also doesn't remember what mission his master gave him. It would be good for him to wander around Yuncheng for a while, maybe he can remember some things."
"Tang'er, go call your father and the others to discuss the affairs of the Ye Mansion."
"it is good."
Ye Peng and the other two came over quickly, and the five of them gathered in a room, talking about this mysterious Ye Mansion.
Shangguan Zhenhua said: "The Ye Mansion was not called the Ye Mansion before, but the Zhao Mansion. That family was engaged in the silk business. I asked the people around and learned that the owner of the Zhao Mansion suffered losses in business half a year ago and was forced to sell the mansion and moved to another place with his family. Three months ago, the old woman came to the Zhao Mansion, and since then the Zhao Mansion has become the Ye Mansion.
"The old woman lived in seclusion and no one knew where she came from."
Ye Peng asked: "Does she really look like her mother?"
Shangguan Zhenhua nodded: "Yes, very much so. The appearance and temperament are very similar to your mother. That is clearly how your mother looked when she was old."
He continued, "If I hadn't confirmed that your mother was indeed dead, I would have mistaken her for your mother at first sight."
"Ruolin, there is something I have never told you. Among the Xia people who came to rescue Ye Qianrou, one of them is the eldest son of the benefactor who saved you that year."
Ye Peng was stunned when he heard this: "The benefactor's eldest son? You are talking about Lu Dagou! How could he be mixed up with the Xia people?"
His benefactor was named Lu Dahai. He had two sons who were five or six years older than him, the eldest son Lu Dagan, and the second son Lu Ergou. Less than half a year after adopting him, Lu Dahai was severely beaten while working outside. He died less than half a day after returning home. After that, he was driven out of the Lu family by Lu Dagan and his two sons.
Shangguan Zhenhua looked at him and said, "Do you know the identity of your benefactor? He is from Xia country, a subordinate of Xia Fusheng, and one of the people who buried you and your mother back then."
Ye Peng was shocked.
"After Lu Dagou and his partner drove you away, they were captured by Xia Fusheng and trained in secret. Lu Ergou couldn't stand the training and died. Lu Dagou luckily survived and became one of Xia's assassins."
"On the third day after he was arrested, Lu Dagou couldn't stand the interrogation anymore, so he came to me and told me the truth."
"Lu Dagou said that Lu Dahai did not approve of Xia Fusheng's methods and ambitions. He was forced to join the Xia Kingdom team. After burying you and your son alive that day, Lu Dahai still had a conscience and secretly returned to rescue you. Unfortunately, he came a step too late. Your mother was already dead, and he could only save you."
"After he brought you to a safe place, he secretly returned once more and found the body of a child who looked like you. He dug up your mother's body and led wild dogs to eat it, leaving it unrecognizable beyond all recognition."
"Lu Dagou said that his father did that to confuse Xia Fusheng and Ye Qianrou, making them think that you and your son are really dead."
Shangguan Zhenhua took a deep breath and continued, "But who would have thought that I found the bodies first. Ye Qianrou and Xia Fusheng were not confused by the bodies, but I was confused by the two bodies. I thought you and your son were really dead."
"I asked Lu Dagou, since my son is not dead, why didn't Lu Dahai let him come out to meet me?"
"Lu Dagou said that his father wanted to do the same thing, but he just didn't find the right opportunity."
"Haha, that's ridiculous." Shangguan Zhenhua became angrier and angrier as he spoke: "Back then, I was so angry that I searched everywhere for the murderer who killed you and your son. I killed many people, including Lu Dahai."
Ye Peng was shocked: "Did you hurt Lu Dahai?"
Shangguan Zhenhua nodded: "Yes, he has seen me and had the opportunity to hand you over, but he didn't. He chose to conceal it and didn't tell you the truth."
"I feel that not everything Lu Dagou said is true. After repeated questioning, he finally confessed that Lu Dahai was not convinced by Xia Fusheng and saved you not because he still had a conscience, but because he wanted to keep you and use you to deal with Xia Fusheng and the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. He hated me and Xia Fusheng because his wife was killed by my people."
Lu Dahai's wife died when the Xia Kingdom was destroyed, and the general who led the troops at that time was Shangguan Zhenhua.
Shangguan Zhenhua chuckled and said, "Lu Dahai never thought that he would be injured by me, and he never thought that not long after his death, Xia Fusheng would capture both of his sons. Lu Dagou and the other wanted to keep you, but they were afraid that Xia Fusheng would see you and guess what Lu Dahai had done, so they drove you away."
"They thought you would come to me when you were desperate. When you came back to me, they would find a way to get close to us and repay our kindness. But they never thought you would be taken away by human traffickers. We never heard from each other again and it took 30 years for you to recognize me."
After listening to these words, Ye Peng fell silent.
Ye Tang, Ye Ping'an, and Xiao Jingxuan looked at him without saying anything to disturb him.
This truth was too cruel, and it tore apart Ye Peng's admiration and respect for his benefactor.
After a long time, Ye Peng raised his head and asked, "Where is Lu Dagou?"
"I killed him!" Shangguan Zhenhua said, "He must die."
Ye Peng clenched his fists.
"Although the Lu family treated you very well, they all had a conspiracy. What they wanted was your gratitude. If they hadn't hidden you, my father and I wouldn't have been separated for so many years. More importantly, Lu Dahai destroyed your mother's body. You didn't see it with your own eyes, so you can't imagine how badly your mother's body was destroyed. She couldn't rest in peace even after death."
"If Lu Dahai is still alive, I will tear him to pieces with my own hands and chop him into pieces and feed them to the dogs!" Shangguan Zhenhua became more and more fierce as he spoke, and he almost couldn't suppress the murderous aura in his body.
"Grandfather, the dog is innocent. Don't feed it everything." Ye Tang suddenly said.
The air suddenly became quiet for a few seconds.
Shangguan Zhenhua was originally angry, but after Ye Tang interrupted him, his anger disappeared immediately.
"Hahahaha, Tangtang is right, don't feed everything to the dog."
Ye Peng laughed as well: "Hahaha, my daughter is just humorous."
Ye Peng smiled, and everyone else followed suit.
Shangguan Zhenhua patted Ye Peng's shoulder gently: "You once said that Lu Dahai and his sons are very good people. You will remember their kindness for the rest of your life. In your memory, they are good people and you respect them very much."
