Chapter 418: I"ve Got to Kill Her In Secret
When Shao Qiyun was muddle-headed, she was in a daze. She would pretend to be a bride and say that she wanted to marry a rich person. She would also cover her head with a pillowcase and get someone to lift the cover for her.
She laughed out loud when the pillowcase was lifted and felt extremely ecstatic. She would often go crazy while the pillowcase was on her head and go everywhere, looking for people to lift the cover for her. The nurses, the doctors, and the patients" families were all bugged by her, and she had even frightened some children to tears.
This was the result of Zhao Lan repeatedly telling her that she must marry a rich man ever since she was still a child. This goal had been ingrained in her mind, making her obsessed with marrying a rich man.
Shao Qiyun"s appearance was laughable, but when one thought about it seriously, it was quite horrifying. She didn"t even remember who she was, but she remembered that she wanted to marry a rich man. How terrifying was that?
"You can"t just instill such thoughts into a child"s mind. Otherwise, they"ll scar the child for life."
When Shao Qiyun was muddled, she behaved like this. When she was sober, she wasn"t much better. Actually, she was even scarier and crazier. She kept asking people for Gu. "Where"s my Gu? Where"s the Gu I used to kill Mu Jingzhe? Why is it gone?"
She would even rummage around and scratch her body while looking for Gu. When she saw Xiao Wu, she would go even crazier. "Did you take away my Gu? Shao Zhong, come back, or I"ll kill Mu Jingzhe!"
"I"m your mother. I have Gu. Haha, I have Gu… I"ll kill Mu Jingzhe now."
After going crazy for a while, Shao Qiyun covered her mouth again. "I can"t let anyone know. I"ve got to kill her in secret."
She kept muttering about killing Mu Jingzhe, and after the agitation pa.s.sed, she would be in a muddled state again.
The problem had been solved. After confirming that Shao Qiyun was acting crazy, Xiao Wu didn"t want to see Shao Qiyun at all, and neither did Mu Jingzhe and the others. It was enough that Shao Qiyun wasn"t dead.
Xiao Wu used to be such a wonderful person. So many people had thanked him because they had found redemption in his music. They had all praised him for being a little angel. In the end, he had been plunged into h.e.l.l and the so-called little angel had been forced to undergo a drastic transformation by Shao Qiyun.
No one pitied Shao Qiyun. Shao Qihai sent Shao Qiyun back to her hometown and had her keep Zhao Lan company in the sheep pen.
At the sight of Zhao Lan, Shao Qiyun went even crazier. "Give me the Gu. It"s my Gu!"
When she was muddle-headed, she would rant about wanting to marry a rich person. When she wasn"t crazy, she would ask Zhao Lan for the Gu and blame her for not giving it to her.
Zhao Lan was in endless pain because of her. She knew very well now that she had harmed Shao Qiyun.
She already knew what Shao Qiyun had done and thought that it was karma. "I told you to treat Xiao Wu well and not do evil things, but you didn"t listen. Now, this is your retribution. If I had known, I would have advised you more."
Zhao Lan was filled with anger, hatred, and regret. "It"s all my fault for always telling you to marry a rich man and making you think that you have to be good-looking. I was wrong. I shouldn"t have helped you deal with Xiao Wu like that previously. I should have let you learn your lesson."
Zhao Lan had influenced Shao Qiyun too much. To a certain extent, Shao Qiyun was a replica of Zhao Lan. Zhao Lan"s favoritism and her subsequent att.i.tude toward Xiao Wu had affected Shao Qiyun, causing her to become such a person.
Zhao Lan regretted it, but it was useless. She could only pay more attention to Shao Qiyun to prevent her from running away, as Shao Qiyun still wanted to find the Gu.
"My Gu was killed by Methamidophos and Dichlorvos. I want to find him again. I want him to give me the Gu…"
Zhao Lan was asked for the Gu every day. In the end, she gave her a tattered rattler. Seeing that she wanted to run away, Zhao Lan tied her up with a rope and refused to let her out.
Now that she had lost her freedom, Shao Qiyun would not only chomp on the rope but would also go crazy on Zhao Lan, sometimes. .h.i.tting her and spitting at her. Zhao Lan was in indescribable pain and felt great remorse.
Almost all the things that Xiao Wu had given Shao Qiyun previously had been taken back. They had been bought with money that Xiao Wu had worked hard to earn. They couldn"t let her squander them like this.
The gold and silver jewelry, the clothes, and everything else were sold. However, some things were in Shao Qiyun"s name, such as the house and car, which made things a little troublesome.
In this case, Zhao Lan played a role. She said that she couldn"t let Shao Qiyun continue to do evil and that she could sell the house and car on Shao Qiyun"s behalf. However, she temporarily couldn"t return the money Shao Qiyun had taken previously, as she had to use it for some of Shao Qiyun"s living expenses.
Zhao Lan didn"t dare ask anyone to be responsible for Shao Qiyun. She didn"t ask Xiao Wu to support Shao Qiyun in her old age either, because as a mother, Shao Qiyun hadn"t done a good job. Everyone despised Shao Qiyun, but Zhao Lan couldn"t leave her be. After all, she was the one who had given birth to this child, and it was also her fault she had not taught her well.
Zhao Lan didn"t know how much longer she would live. In short, she would live with Shao Qiyun for as long as she was alive. After she died, she couldn"t care less about what would happen.
Shao Qiyun was reaping what she had sowed. Regardless of whether she died or lived, this was her fate.
Shao Qiyun"s antics finally came to an end. Considering her crazy state, she would no longer be able to do evil in the future.
However, she had also caused a lot of aftereffects. Xiao Wu"s health and mentality had been affected during this period. Other than his physical health, his mental health also needed to recover.
Initially, Mu Jingzhe and the others had been worried that Xiao Wu wouldn"t grow tall and had been concerned about making him grow taller.
However, after he was discharged from the hospital, they realized that not only was there a problem with Xiao Wu"s body, but there was also a problem with his mentality. His personality had changed. He had become taciturn and would often be in a daze. Sometimes, he would even stare at a knife in a daze.
Mu Jingzhe"s heart trembled as she looked at Xiao Wu, afraid that he would pick up the knife and do something foolish.
Although Xiao Wu tried his best to hide it and he didn"t say it, everyone could sense that he was in great agony. Especially when he came back to his senses from his daze, his face would habitually reveal a greedy or cold expression. That tense expression made people feel uncomfortable.
After considering all the relevant aspects, Xiao Wu was discharged. However, he wasn"t in a hurry to go back to school. Mu Jingzhe went to school to help him apply for leave.
Other than that, Xiao Wu also behaved abnormally, as he no longer touched any musical instruments or music. When he had used music as a weapon to kill, everything had changed. This was also why the collaborations he had agreed to previously had produced average results.
Mu Jingzhe and the others didn"t force Xiao Wu. Knowing that he didn"t want to do this, they were prepared to wait for him to slowly recover while paying attention to his diet and sleeping patterns.
Xiao Wu cooperated in terms of diet, and Mu Jingzhe personally accompanied Xiao Wu to sleep for two days. Seeing that he seemed to be back to normal, she heaved a sigh of relief.
As it turned out, later on, Xiao Wu couldn"t fall asleep at all at night. This secret was discovered by Shao Xi.
Shao Xi knew that Xiao Wu had to eat and sleep well if he wanted to recover, so he secretly checked to see if Xiao Wu was asleep in the middle of the night and found out that Xiao Wu actually had his eyes open in the dark. He couldn"t fall asleep at all, and he had merely been pretending to be asleep in front of them.
Anyone else would have gone crazy if they couldn"t sleep for an entire night. Shao Xi finally understood why Xiao Wu"s health, height, or weight would not improve even though he had been feeding him bone broth every day. It was because he couldn"t sleep at night.
"Stop pretending. Why aren"t you sleeping?"
Shao Xi unexpectedly poked Xiao Wu"s armpit, making it impossible for Xiao Wu to pretend to be asleep even if he wanted to.
