Upon seeing the person who had been killed by him and was dead for more than half a month now suddenly appear in front of him, there was no way Yue Jinrong could withhold his exclamation, no matter how calm he was.
“Why, Yue Jinrong, do I deserve to die in your eyes? You didn’t expect me to be alive, did you?”
Zi Shuilan looked at Yue Jinrong with his purple eyes and smiled gently.
As he smiled, his purple eyes sparkled with a purple light. Countless women in the crowd revealed infatuated expressions.
Wow, this was the Young City Lord of the City of Beastmen, the only descendant of the Zi Family.
How charming and handsome!
“Shuilan, no, no, of course I didn’t mean that. I was shocked to see that fake corpse. Shuilan, I’m so glad you’re okay. You have no idea how worried I was…”
Yue Jinrong’s expression changed even faster than in the Sichuan dramas. He immediately put on the appearance of a kind father.
Yue Qianning and Yue Qianwu, who were beside him, did not have his mental fortitude and were already pale with fear.
“Qianwu, Qianning, what are you waiting for? Your Big Brother is fine. Hurry up and greet him.”
Yue Jinrong pushed his daughters.
“Young City Lord, you’re fine. That’s great!”
“Young City Lord, you’ve recovered and can speak now. God bless you!”
“But Young City Lord, what’s with that fake corpse?”
The residents of the City of Beastmen were still in a daze when they saw Zi Shuilan appear before them.
Now that they saw him standing in front of everyone so strong and energized, they couldn’t help but cry tears of joy.
In the past, Zi Shuilan would occasionally be wheeled out by the Yue Family to show his face, but he would always sit weakly in the wheelchair.
He looked sickly and the Yue Family said that they were afraid of expending the energy in his body. Hence, they did not let the residents of the City of Beastmen talk to him at all.
They were concerned about his health and did not dare to approach him.
“Put away your hypocrisy, Yue Jinrong.”
Zi Shuilan smiled seductively, like a purple lotus blooming on the water surface, enchanting and beautiful.
Yue Jinrong broke out in a cold sweat. “Shuilan, I’m just concerned about you. There must be a misunderstanding…”
“You’re concerned about me, Yue Jinrong? I didn’t expect you to be so thick-skinned. It seems that you want me to reveal the truth to the public. I’ll fulfill your wish then.”
Zi Shuilan’s eyes were filled with mockery. Then, he looked at the residents of the City of Beastmen and said slowly.
“Everyone, it’s not that I can’t speak. My body isn’t weak from illness either. It’s just that the Yue Family has been torturing me with various chronic poisons. Every time I came out to see you, Yue Jinrong would feed me drugs that made me mute.”
“My mother, the previous City Lord, Zi Hua, did not die from a serious illness. She was poisoned by Yue Jinrong.”
“Yue Jinrong doesn’t really love my mother either. He just coveted the position of the City Lord of the City of Beastmen. He sweet-talked my mother and married her. After gaining control of the City Lord’s Manor, he began to eliminate my mother.”
“After that, they placed me under house arrest in the City Lord Residence and gave me a slow-acting poison, making me weak and sickly. At the same time, they secretly got Yue Qianxiao to practice subduing the Purple Cloud Soul Essence so that the Yue Family could legitimately obtain the City Lord’s position in the City of Beastmen.”
“Oh, and this sister who kept saying that she liked me the most. One year, she deliberately pushed me into the lotus pond in the cold winter, causing me to have a fever for three whole days. Later on, I had the habit of frequently coughing blood because of her.”
