What exactly is his past? In Fang Qingyou's view, things are definitely not that simple.

If Mother had died of natural causes, Father wouldn't have reacted so strangely.

What exactly happened back then?

For the first time, Fang Qingyou looked back on those days with some curiosity.

Even after returning to the house, Fang Qingyou was still full of questions. In the end, she decided to ask Fang Jinzhou about it the next day.

After all, it was her own mother's business, and she had the right to know.

Fang Qingyou cultivated to the point of daylight.

When she went out, Fang Jinzhou was already brewing the medicine.

Just by smelling the medicine, Fang Qingyou knew what kind of medicine he was brewing.

"Dad, do you have a headache?"

Fang Qingyou asked aloud.

"Ah."

Fang Jinzhou nodded, gently fanning himself with the fan in his hand.

"Father—how exactly did my mother die back then?"

After Fang Qingyou asked that question, Fang Jinzhou paused, his hand still gently waving the fan.

At this moment, it also froze, no longer moving.

"What could be wrong? Just like I said before, your mother seems sick, but it's nothing!"

Fang Jinzhou continued to wave his fan, seemingly nonchalant, but Fang Qingyou still noticed something amiss in his fingers.

He gripped the fan handle so tightly that his fingers turned blue and white.

She decided to try and trick him.

"Father, but that's not what you said yesterday."

As Fang Qingyou spoke, she lowered her head, knowing that if she looked up, he might notice something amiss.

Upon hearing her words, Fang Jinzhou was startled. He knew that something had happened last night that he couldn't quite remember.

So that's how it is... Could it be that I really... unknowingly revealed something to others...?

"Father, please tell me! That was my mother too... I want to know everything that happened."

Fang Qingyou lowered her head, her voice slightly choked.

"Okay, I'll tell you—"

Fang Jinzhou probably felt genuinely exhausted, and he realized that keeping it all hidden wasn't a good idea.

Actually, he really couldn't cover it up any longer, but the matter at hand was truly urgent.

"Qingyou—actually, your mother didn't die."

Fang Jinzhou raised his head, and what he said made Fang Qingyou's eyes widen.

"What do you mean?"

Fang Qingyou's face was full of astonishment.

"Actually... your mother didn't die when she left, but was taken away by someone... Your mother was from the State of Zhao... Zhao is known for its beauties, and your mother was stunningly beautiful. Many people wanted to marry her, but in the end, she married me!"

When he talks about those sweet times, Fang Jinzhou's face still beams with a smile.

I used to be a wandering swordsman, but later, to give your mother a stable home, I went to study medicine. I studied medicine because I had a talent for it; an old man took a liking to me… Who knew that this would later become my means of survival! When I had almost mastered the skills, I opened a clinic, and business was booming. Then we had you, and everything was wonderful… until you were three years old, when a severely injured man was brought into the clinic. I did everything I could to heal him, but he…”

At this point, Fang Jinzhou clenched his fists and his eyes turned bloodshot, clearly indicating that what happened back then was still a very heavy matter in his heart.
