"My surna is Xiao, and my na is Xiao Chou, as in hatred."
Shen You’an finally understood.
Xiao Chou’s grandmother Wang Zilan was Sang Kunrou’s half-sister by the sa mother, different father. Sang Kunrou was frad and betrayed his country by Yu Tiezhu, and at that ti, Wang Zilan, who had beco the Great General’s wife, wanted to save Sang Kunrou. Naturally, her husband, Xiao Chuo, would not shirk this responsibility and thus offended Yu Tiezhu.
Xiao Chuo was an upright warrior, and naturally no match for the unscrupulous Yu Tiezhu in terms of tactics. Xiao Chuo was betrayed by his confidants, suffered consecutive defeats, and even his eldest son with Wang Zilan, Xiao Heng, died as a result of Yu Tiezhu’s sches.
By that ti, Sang Kunrou’s cris had already been exposed, beyond salvation, and Xiao Chuo could only hide his na with his wife, waiting for a chance to exact revenge.
This waiting lasted for decades.
While the Yu family prospered, the sword of the Xiao family remained hanging over the heads of the Yu family, fearing that it could fall at any mont. Yu Fusheng never forgot about finding the Xiao family to eliminate them completely.
But later, news arrived that the descendants of the Xiao family had been hiding in Yunzhou, their power quietly growing. To act rashly would require reconsideration.
So many years had passed, and Yu Fusheng was unsure if the Xiao family still desired revenge. Thus, he calculated to use Yu Ruohuan for a marriage alliance as an opportunity to test the Xiao family’s stance.
Unfortunately, the Xiao family was too mysterious, never giving him a chance to approach. In reality, Yu Fusheng had no definitive information about how many mbers were left in the Xiao family.
What Yu Fusheng could ascertain was what Shen You’an knew.
She too was secretly investigating the Xiao family, but they were too mysterious, and she couldn’t gather much useful information.
She had also thought that perhaps the Xiao family had long since let go of their hatred, settling into a peaceful life and no longer participating in the grudges of their elders.
Later, Shen You’an lost the thought of searching for the Xiao family.
She never imagined that one day a descendant of the Xiao family would take the initiative to find her.
Not only had the hatred not been forgotten, but it had been etched even deeper.
Yu Fusheng’s worries were not in vain; the sword of the Xiao family had been hidden for too long, long enough for the world to forget. But the mont the sword’s edge reappears is also the ti when heads will roll.
Cutting throats, one strike is deadly.
"So all these years, the Xiao family has been lurking in the shadows, waiting for the opportune mont."
Shen You’an’s mood was indescribably heavy; she’d thought she’d been struggling forward under the weight of hatred, not expecting there to be fellow travelers on this path.
A hatred spanning over half a century, passed down through blood, had walked step by step to today and arrived before her.
Xiao Chou coldly snorted, "The Yu family has been reckless and arrogant for too long, the ti has finally co. I’ve seen everything you’ve done; very good, you haven’t shad your ancestors."
Shen You’an looked deeply at him, "Since you know everything, then do you know my grandparents were imprisoned and tortured by the Yu family for over twenty years, and my father was murdered, whereabouts unknown?"
Xiao Chou was montarily speechless, but he patiently explained, "My father encountered a career setback at that ti. You should know, at his level, every step was taken with caution. One misstep and it’s total destruction, not to ntion revenge, the entire Xiao family would face annihilation. It took years to stabilize the situation. As I matured, I learned the truth from my father, started to lay the plans. I deeply sympathize with your grandfather and grandmother’s suffering, but I’m sorry..."
Shen You’an pressed her lips together, "I have no right to bla you; it’s all the Yu family’s sins."
Shen You’an said, gnashing her teeth.
"So, let’s join forces next, tear off the Yu family’s mask of hypocrisy, clear our ancestors’ wrongful grievances, and avenge them."
Xiao Chou said solemnly and resolutely.
Shen You’an gazed at him, looking at the man’s outstretched palm. For the first ti, she felt she was no longer fighting alone.
"Do you have a plan?"
Xiao Chou curled his lips. Despite being such a serious person, his smirk revealed a bit of mischief.
"In one week, it’s the Yu family’s newborn full-month banquet. How about we gift the Yu family a grand present then?"
Shen You’an smiled and reached out to clasp hands with him.
"I was just thinking the sa."
