The Dharma Sea of ​​the Green Snake

Chapter 766 Unsolved Missing Case
"I... this is not what I want..."

Lifting his head weakly, Zhu Run just looked at Pei Wende with tears in his eyes, but he didn't defend himself too much.

"That's all! I'm not interested in your family affairs."

Seeing Zhu Run's sad expression, Pei Wende, who had originally "hurt others" just to test the other party, sighed.

He could feel the contradiction in Zhu Run's heart. No one could hide his emotional fluctuations in front of Pei Wende, who had cultivated his mind.

"I am here only at the request of your cook, to look for your missing daughter."

When he said this, Pei Wende's tone paused for a moment, and then selectively skipped this topic.

"Is there anything you want to tell me about your daughter's disappearance?"

Now that it has been determined that Aunt Zhu's information has some errors or omissions, then Pei Wende naturally wants to know the real situation of the Zhu family.

At the very least, the statement that "Zhu Yiniang was kidnapped by a pig demon" no longer has much credibility.

"Actually... things are not as Fifth Sister imagined."

He opened his mouth hesitantly, and Zhu Run who silently wiped away his tears said in a low voice.

"I suspect that the widow actually ran away from home by herself."

It has to be said that Zhu Run's remarks caught Pei Wende a little by surprise.

Because he thought about ten thousand possibilities, but he never thought about the possibility that the missing person disappeared on his own initiative.

But in this way, it can also explain why Zhu Run and his wife were so calm about Aunt Zhu's disappearance.

"Where did this come from?"

Couldn't help asking, Pei Wende found out that this little Zhu family really had many hidden secrets.

"To tell you the truth, Zen Master, all this is actually related to the little girl's life experience."

"Because the widow is actually not my biological daughter, but the adopted daughter of the Zhu family."

Seeing Pei Wende with a surprised expression on his face, Zhu Run just lowered his voice as much as possible, but said without any concealment.

"Since Zen master already knows that my husband is not human, he should know that he will definitely not be able to continue the Zhu family's incense."

"For this matter, my father has quarreled with us more than once."

Zhao Yanwei is just the son-in-law of the Zhu family, and his status in the Zhu family may even be inferior to some servants.

Especially when the Zhu family was not in decline, the old man of the Zhu family even suggested that Zhu Run should raise a face, so as to continue the incense of the Zhu family.

This ridiculous proposal naturally drew strong opposition from Zhu Run.

Although Zhu Run is not as strong as his sister Zhu Han, he is not the kind of temperament that can be manipulated by others.

Because Zhao Yanwei didn't mind being "fraudulently married" since he entered Zhu's family, but he treated Zhu Run well.

Before being formally involved in the substitute examination case and demoted, Zhao Yanwei could even travel a long distance from Chang'an back to Runzhou to celebrate Zhu Run's birthday for her.

You know, this era is different from China in the 21st century.

Such a long journey is tantamount to stepping half a foot into the gate of hell. Even if Zhao Yanwei's real body is a pig demon, the difficulties involved cannot be described in words.

So even after learning about Zhao Yanwei's real body, Zhu Run never thought of giving up on her husband.

The eldest daughter, Aunt Zhu, was taken back to the Zhu family by Zhao Yanwei under such circumstances, and then became the adopted daughter of the Zhu family as a matter of course.

......................................................................................................

"Zhu Yiniang is also a monster?"

After silently listening to Zhu Run's narration, such a question suddenly popped up in Pei Wende's heart.

The adopted daughter brought back by Zhao Yanwei, if she is also a monster, it seems that it is not impossible.

However, Zhu Run's next words denied Pei Wende's guess.

"The widow is a human being, not a monster."

Shaking his head slightly in denial, Zhu Run was obviously very convinced of this.

As the "mother" who brought up the baby girl little by little, no one knows better than Zhu Run whether Zhu Yiniang is a human or a demon.

"Then what happened in the end? What made Yiniang Zhu decide to run away from home?"

Regardless of the truthfulness of Zhu Run's words, what Pei Wende wants to know now is what happened to Zhu Yiniang.

What was the reason that made Zhu Run feel that Zhu Yiniang's disappearance was the result of her running away from home directed and acted by herself.

"The matter has to start with the breach of the embankment in Nandu two years ago..."

After calming down the sadness in my heart as much as possible, I saw that Zhu Run adjusted his mentality a little, and then continued to talk.

Two years ago, the influence caused by the opening of Longjing by Qiang, the governor of Runzhou, was far more than the natural and man-made disasters Pei Wende saw.

When the branches of the nearby river were polluted by the resentment of the real dragon, and hundreds of demons sneaked into Runzhou City taking advantage of the chaos, disasters had already begun to emerge.

One time, in order to protect his family, wife and children, Zhao Yanwei had to face the enemy with his real body, but Zhu Yiniang accidentally revealed his identity as a pig demon.

Since then, Zhu Yiniang has had deep doubts about her own life experience.

And when the demon disaster broke out and the demon hunters from Qintianjian rushed to Runzhou, Zhao Yanwei became the victim of the disaster because of his identity.

If it wasn't for Nandu's embankment breaking and the white snake's appearance, it would have attracted most of the demon hunters' attention.

No matter how strong Zhao Yanwei's ability to hide was, he might not be able to escape the eyes of the former Qin Tianjian and be eliminated as those monsters who wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble.

This situation continued until Pei Wende drove the white snake into the Yangtze River and completely cleared the Runzhou River.

The Zhu family, who managed to settle down with great difficulty, finally decided to leave Runzhou City and open up a new home, which formed the current Zhu Family Village.

With the original prestige of the Zhu family, people with the same surname were attracted to settle here.

This move was originally carried out to comfort the old man of the Zhu family, but unexpectedly, it caused a series of rumors.

Whether it was Zhao Yanwei's real body exposed in order to reclaim the land, or the original strange situation of Zhu's family, they all became the topic of conversation in Zhu's family after dinner.

Living in this situation for a long time, Zhu's daughter-in-law, who already had doubts about Zhao Yanwei and her own identity, was inevitably affected.

So during a normal outing, Zhu's widow suddenly disappeared, and it was rumored that it was caused by a pig demon. It is no wonder that Zhu Run would have the idea that the other party ran away from home.

[Theoretically speaking, there is indeed no problem with this logic. 】

He glanced in the direction of the ancestral temple calmly again, but the doubts in Pei Wende's heart were not resolved.

[But the question is, why did Zhu Yiniang, who ran away from home, put forward the "redemption condition" to Zhu's family again and again? 】
