Chapter 263 You know the art of disguise, don't you?
Liu Niang took a sip of tea and continued, "When Yunze learned that Achi had married her sweetheart and had a son, he was furious and sent his secret guards to wipe out Achi's husband's family and the Le family, leaving only Achi and Le Lan alive."
Although Achi's husband wasn't particularly good to her on a daily basis, he was incredibly kind to Lelan. However, I only found out later that it was all just for show.
Zhou Hanzhang poured more tea for Liu Niang.
"Le Lan has been terrified of his adoptive father since he was a child. It turns out that the man would abuse Le Lan whenever they were alone together, and he wouldn't allow him to tell A Chi."
Although she didn't have many scars, young Le Lan had already suffered a lot.
Le Lan breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that her father was not that person, but Yun Ze.
When he showed affection for Yunze, Yunze revealed a more terrifying side than Achi's husband. He tortured Lelan in front of Achi, and the more pain Lelan was in, the happier he became.
Besides leaving marks on Le Lan's body, Yun Ze also injured his face. A Chi remained silent, only watching coldly, but the more she acted this way, the more Yun Ze hurt Le Lan. In the end, she even slashed his face.
Actually, Achi was already very ill at that time. When he saw Yunze cut his own son in the face, he couldn't help but laugh. He laughed and then vomited blood and died. Before he died, he didn't tell Lelan that he was Yunze's son.
From that time on, Le Lan disappeared.
I had just started taking on the mission and was often away from home. When I returned, some people were dead or had disappeared.
But fate played a cruel trick. After Le Lan disappeared, Yun Ze found a letter and a divorce decree in A Chi's study. The letter detailed the whole truth of the past years. Yun Ze realized that the child he had been abusing was actually his own flesh and blood. He was filled with remorse and desperately wanted to find her, but he never did, even in death.
“Le Lan’s adoptive father is no better,” Zhou Hanzhang sighed.
"Who can argue with that? You can know a person's face but not their heart. You can only truly see a person for who they are when you encounter trouble. Do you know what was written in that letter?"
He said that all the harm he caused to Achi and Lelan was because of his boundless love for them. When I found out, I almost threw up. If Yunze hadn't come to me asking about Lelan's whereabouts, I wouldn't have seen that letter. That guy died young, otherwise I would have definitely torn him to pieces.
As Liu Niang spoke, her face remained calm, but Zhou Hanzhang inexplicably sensed a hint of hatred within it.
"Of course, I was not yet fully capable at that time, and Yunze would come over to harass us from time to time. If I hadn't gone to another place at that time, he would probably have thought that I was hiding Lelan."
I will endure this until I am no longer afraid of Yun Ze in any aspect, then I will take up my sword and finish him off.
It's fortunate I dealt with him, otherwise this would surely have become a torment to my heart. That child, Le Lan, only reappeared before me after learning I killed Yun Ze. It seems that only then did he truly believe me from the bottom of his heart, but I can no longer see his true face.
No matter how hard Zhou Hanzhang racked his brains, he couldn't fathom how Qianmian's background could be so complicated. Numerous thoughts swirled in his mind, yet he couldn't utter a single word.
At this moment, the Thousand Faces, disguised as Fangniang, walked in from the doorway. Seeing that both of them looked solemn, she said, "Sister, sister, what are you talking about that makes you happy? Tell me so I can have a laugh too!"
Zhou Hanzhang: ...
Liu Niang rolled her eyes at him. "How can you tell we were having a good time?"
"If you're unhappy, just say it, let me hear it too."
"I was telling you about how you used to wet your pants and even put your own poop in your mouth when you were little."
Fangniang was shocked. "!!! Sister, are you kidding me? How could you say something like this to a young girl? Aren't you afraid of disgusting her?"
"Uh, I'm not disgusted, but I really didn't expect you to have this side to you when you were a child."
Although it was disgusting, it was one of the few good memories Qianmian had from his childhood. Although he said it with disgust, there was a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.
Looking at him, Zhou Hanzhang felt that he was really good now. He no longer had to suffer like that. Although he lived here, at least he was free.
"How can you say that? I don't believe you didn't eat your own excrement when you were a child," Fangniang said seriously.
"Sigh, when I was a child, I had many wet nurses watching over me, so I couldn't get any food even if I wanted to."
Fangniang's stunningly beautiful face showed even more disgust. "You actually want to eat shit?"
Zhou Hanzhang couldn't hold back any longer and looked at Liu Niang, "No, Master, is our brother sick? I know a pretty good doctor who treats brain diseases."
Fangniang playfully flicked her veil at Zhou Hanzhang's face, "Oh dear, how can you talk like that? Aren't you afraid of hurting your older sister's feelings?"
"..."
Zhou Hanzhang looked at Liu Niang, his suspicion already showing on his face. If Princess Lisa hadn't been waiting for his help, she would definitely have asked if this person was really reliable.
At this moment, Fangniang suddenly burst into laughter, "Sister, your apprentice is really funny. Why don't you lend her to me for a few days, and I'll return her to you later? If you agree, I won't charge you for the princess's matter, and I can even promise to help this little girl in the future."
What do you need her for?
Liu Niang knew that although this man was unreliable in words, his promises were extremely useful. He could handle things that An Ye couldn't do perfectly.
Although I had previously told him that I could come to him if I had any difficulties, this promise is worlds apart from his.
"Oh, you're worried I'll do something bad to her?"
Liu Niang frowned, "Speak properly to me, don't be so hesitant!"
Seeing Liu Niang like this, Fang Niang quickly sat up straight and said earnestly, "Sister, I beg you, please let her help me."
"Tell me what it is first."
Fangniang hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke up, "It's like this, there are two well-known brothels in the capital, one of which is our Hongyanfang, and the other is Diewuxuan across the street."
We've always been competing for the top spot in this brothel, but we're always neck and neck. Recently, I heard they found a talented and beautiful girl who's hard to find.
Although the girls on my side are quite good, I'm still a little worried. If we lose here, we'll be frustrated for three years. So I was thinking of having Zhangzhang go on stage and show them what's what.
At this point, Fangniang immediately raised her hand, "I promise, it's just a competition, nothing else will happen."
"Don't you know how to disguise yourself?"
"Oh dear, although my disguise technique can slightly change a person's appearance, it's not omnipotent. There are always people in this world as beautiful as Sister Zhangzhang."
