In the end, it finally exploded today.
"I'm sorry," he repeated.
Wei Ziyao turned her face away. "It's useless to say this now. Tell me, what happened to my mother?"
"She … was killed by Sanger. You were still very young at that time."
"What did you say?"
Wei Ziyao raised her head in disbelief. How did this matter have anything to do with Gesang?
"At that time, I had just taken over the Crafty Pavilion, and it happened to be the time when Sanger owed me a favor, so he was still in the Crafty Pavilion. Back then, your mother came to the Crafty Pavilion and begged them to kill her."
"What?" Today's events refreshed Wei Ziyao's worldview again and again.
"If she didn't want to live, she could've just killed herself. Why did she have to go to an assassin organization?"
"Because the situation was very complicated at that time. Your mother had a large number of eggs of gu worms in her body. If she didn't handle it well after her death, it was very likely that the gu worms would overflow."
As Ki Chien-chul spoke, Wei Ziyao couldn't keep up with him.
Her head was buzzing.
"You're a gu practitioner, so you should know more than me. The low-level gu eggs will naturally die after the death of the host, but if it's a high-level gu egg, it won't die even if it's burned. The scary thing is that your mother's body was full of high-level gu eggs."
Hearing this, Wei Ziyao suddenly had a headache and rubbed her temples.
Ki Chien-chul hurriedly stepped forward to help her. "Why don't you rest for a while?"
"No need. Go ahead."
"She came to the Crafty Pavilion because she wanted the people of the Crafty Pavilion to help her die without any worries. Coincidentally, Sanger was there at that time, so he helped her …"
Wei Ziyao could imagine what happened next.
"Did Sanger mention anything about those Gu worms?"
"When your mother came, she was already very weak. When I heard that she wanted to die, I rushed out without any preparation. She saw my face. When she saw me, her eyes filled with tears. She didn't say a word, but kept begging me to kill her. I also understood that she and Wei Shuai were deeply in love. If she really wanted to commit suicide … Wei Shuai wouldn't be able to take it, so I agreed to her request."
Indeed, if his wife committed suicide, Wei Heng, who loved her so much, would definitely break down.
"Sanger said that she was the one who kept those eggs in her body."
"You raised it yourself?"
Wei Ziyao was even more confused. "I remember that my mother was saved by my father. Her hometown is the South Jin Kingdom. Her whole family is merchants. How could she know about Gu poison?"
"I couldn't believe it either, but that's the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask Sanger."
"I believe you." But the truth was a little too heart-wrenching.
"At that time, the Marshal's wife was seriously ill. The imperial physician said that she didn't have much time left, but the Marshal kept her alive with all kinds of medicine. No one would have thought that she was still raising Gu worms."
Wei Ziyao heard this and her expression became serious. "Gu worms are nourished by tonics and grow faster. It was supposed to save a life, but it became a death sentence."
This kind of thing couldn't be known to Wei Heng.
"But my father will know about this sooner or later. I can't keep him in the dark forever."
Wei Ziyao was rarely so serious. When she found out about this today, it was a little too depressing.
Ki Chien-chul held her in his arms. Wei Ziyao leaned on him as if she had no bones.
"Thank you for believing me."
With that, Ki Chien-chul kissed her forehead.
