207 [Bonus chapter]Tell Me the Truth (2)

Nan Luo took a deep breath and unknowingly tears started to fall from the corner of his eyes. He really couldn't believe that when he was happy and still not understand anything, his twin sister experienced a completely different experience.

"Young Master, this might be presumptuous of me, but have you ever experienced her pain?" Xiao Yun asked carefully.

Experienced?

Thinking about his past, Nan Luo sometimes would feel uncomfortable when studying as if there was something disturbing him. However, such feeling was very rare and even when he did, he never cared too much about it.

The only time when he truly felt the pain was when he searched for his sister on that fateful day. He felt his head hurt a bit out of nowhere and when he saw the wound on his twin sister, he understood right away that the one who experienced pain was not him.

But his twin sister.

"I think I did, but I never pay any attention." Nan Luo turned to look to the side, combing his memory of strange pain that might be faint or even severe but without any reason whatsoever. "Does Hua'er have any wound on her back?"

Just a few months before he found out about Nan Hua's real situation, he felt weird pain on his back during his training. At that time, he was training martial arts, so he thought that he was struck. However, he was pretty sure that the pain felt somewhat different.

Xiao Yun was silent for a moment. "Yes, she has."

"What happened?"

"It's similar to when you found her, Young Master."

The young Nan Hua tried to stop her father from feeding her mother with that unknown medicine. While she didn't know what was inside, she could guess that it was not something good. Just based on the way her father bullied her mother, she knew that he didn't like either one of them.

How could she possibly let him?

But her strength was far from matching her father. At that time, she was thrown to the table and the boiling teapot fell on her back.

Xiao Yun unknowingly cried when she recalled that scene. "Young Miss didn't cry and only pleaded Master Nan for him not to give the medicine to Madam."

Boiling teapot on such a young child.

How did she survive?

Nan Luo then recalled there was indeed a period of time when he couldn't meet with Nan Hua because their mother said that she had fever. It lasted for around two weeks before he could see her again.

His heart tightened when he thought about that. The time when he couldn't meet with his twin sister was several times. How many times Nan Hua fell sick just because of that unworthy father of theirs?

If they had a different father, would they have a completely different childhood?

And thinking of how the other concubine children were living their lives comfortably, Nan Luo really wished that he could do something to make sure that they would all die miserably.

Born of the same father.

Yet the difference in treatment was like that of Heaven and Hell.

Nan Luo gritted his teeth. "What else?"

Xiao Yun shook her head. She was not always around when Nan Shu Cheng came to find Nan Hua. There were some times when she was sent away and could only see the aftermath where Nan Hua would smile wryly in her direction or even looked hollow.

Seeing that, Nan Luo knew that even Xiao Yun didn't know everything. He could only stop here as he definitely couldn't bear to ask Nan Hua.

"Thank you for telling me all of this."

"Please don't say anything in front of Young Miss. This servant didn't want Young Miss to remember anymore."

"I won't."

If possible, Nan Luo even wished that he could erase all of those bad memories from Nan Hua. But what could he possibly do?

Now that he knew what his father had done to his mother and sister, there was no longer any hesitation in his eyes when he thought about their plan tomorrow. Even if he had to drag the Nan Family to the mud, he would do it if it meant that he could bring his father down.

That scum should never exist.

"I'll go rest now. You two should rest too."

"Yes, Young Master."

While Nan Luo walked back to his residence limpidly, Old Master Nan was silently listening from behind the tree. He had been waiting for the time either Nan Hua or Xiao Yun to speak about what had happened back then. Even though Xiao Yun's information was incomplete, it was enough for him to know.

"Nan Shu Cheng…. Just how much do you hate my arrangement?" Old Master Nan muttered in a low voice.

Back then, he was the one who arranged the marriage for Nan Shu Cheng with Nan Hua and Nan Luo's mother. She was one of the few nobles with good characteristic that he found a liking to.

But because of war, he couldn't accompany his son at home.

When he returned, he found out that his son had taken a lot of concubines and even mistreated the main wife. It was to the point that he beat up his own son, making Nan Shu Cheng even angrier at him.

"Dear, can I really spare him?"

Old Master Nan had promised his wife not to touch Nan Shu Cheng. Because of that promise, he couldn't kill his son even though he wanted to kill the other party so much. At this time, Old Master Nan felt especially conflicted.

A man who could even torture his own flesh and blood…. What kind of man was that?

He really couldn't imagine how much their mother and the young girl had suffered under his hand for many years.

If only he could turn back time, he might not want to choose her to be with Nan Shu Cheng. For a man like that, he was not worthy to be with such a wonderful woman.
