Chapter 280 Inquiring about the Birth Mother
Chapter 280 Inquiring about the Birth Mother
The Demon Lord finally discovered that his cheap sister was a sharp-tongued person. No matter what he said, he would be criticized by her.
He was the leader of a cult, and it was really humiliating for him to be speechless by a little girl, so he chose to turn his back and ignored her.
Tao Yanyan roasted the rabbit by himself, tore off one rabbit leg himself, and left the rest to Dali.
Dali took out another rabbit leg and gave it to the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord looked at the fragrant rabbit leg and finally reached out to take it.
He took a bite and found the crust crispy and juicy on the outside and greasy on the inside. He couldn't help but eat bite after bite.
Tao Yanyan sat opposite him and finished a rabbit leg in a few bites. He smacked his lips and said, "It's just that there's not enough meat. I'll try grilled fish or grilled chicken when I have a chance."
The Demon Lord paused and silently noted in his mind that there were plenty of fish by the sea, but he also needed to raise more chickens.
Tao Yanyan was in a good mood after having a rare meal, so she had the leisure to chat with the Demon Lord. She still remembered that she had said before that the previous Demon Cult Lord was the original owner's biological father, but did not mention the biological mother.
"Hey, I'm curious, can you tell me who my biological mother is?"
When the Demon Lord thought of that woman, he felt so angry that his teeth itched.
"My father was so obsessed with that woman that he didn't want to leave her. My mother was so angry that she took her anger out on me and beat me up, which caused me to develop a heart disease."
Tao Yanyan wanted to say that heart disease is a cardiovascular disease, and being beaten is not necessarily the cause. However, she couldn't explain what cardiovascular disease was, so she had to give up.
"She is the daughter of the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion, and the younger sister of the current Ningyuan Marquis."
As soon as the Demon Lord said this, Tao Yanyan thought of Ningyuan Marquis Mansion and was puzzled: "How strange, how could a young lady from a marquis mansion meet your father? And what's more, they are involved?"
One is the overlord of the underworld, and the other is a lady from a wealthy family. They are not the same kind of people, so there is no chance for them to meet, right?
The Demon Lord said coldly: "I heard that they met at the Beijing Lantern Festival, but I don't know the details."
Tao Yanyan was a little angry: "The young lady of the Marquis' Mansion must have been deceived by your father's sweet words, or robbed, otherwise why would she become your father's concubine without any matchmaker or engagement?"
The Demon Lord felt a little guilty, and Tao Yanyan continued to ask: "Where is my biological mother now? Is she left in the Demon Cult?"
The Demon Lord was stunned: "She is dead. She drowned. Before she drowned, she should have handed you over to the Tao couple. She even found a baby to replace you. When she was salvaged, she was holding the baby. Everyone thought that she and her child died seventeen years ago."
Tao Yanyan frowned and stared at him sharply: "My mother didn't commit suicide, right? Was it your father or your mother who killed her?"
The Demon Lord didn't say anything. He saw the determination to never give up in Tao Yanyan's eyes.
"She seduced my father, so it is only natural for my mother to seek revenge on her." For some reason, the Demon Lord felt a little insecure when he said this.
Tao Yanyan sneered: "Whether it was seduction or your father forcing her to have sex with you, it is still unknown. She is gone now, and no one can refute you even if you throw dirty water at her. But from my understanding of the aristocratic families, the legitimate daughter raised by the Marquis's mansion will never have anything to do with a married woman. There must be a reason for this."
She took a deep breath and said, "Since my biological mother was persecuted to death by your mother, I must avenge her. Is your mother still alive?"
The Demon Lord said leisurely: "I advise you not to interfere in the grudges of the previous generation. Besides, you are powerless, how can you take revenge? My mother knows martial arts, and she can kill you with just a palm!"
If he wasn't an expert in martial arts, how could he have beaten his own son like that, causing him to suffer from heart disease since childhood.
Tao Yanyan said firmly: "How can I not avenge my mother's murder? However, I will not put your mother's crime on your head. I will go find her myself."
After the two finished chatting, they were both in a bad mood. The Demon Lord ordered them to continue their journey. Tao Yanyan got on the carriage. If she was traveling at night now, she would sleep in the carriage. She could fall asleep easily in the past few days, but today she learned about the experience of the original owner's biological mother, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.
Before she came into this world, she had experienced drowning once, and she knew very well how painful and helpless it was when a person was almost drowned by water.
Seventeen years ago, the original owner was still a baby in swaddling clothes. His biological mother, Gu, resolutely entrusted his child to the Tao couple and went to die alone. How scared and helpless she must have been!
She even thought about protecting the child at the last moment of her life, and found a baby replacement from somewhere.
Although it was also cruel, it might be the only way she could think of to stop the pursuers and continue looking for the child under the circumstances at the time.
She used her life to save the original owner and found a wealthy, secure and kind couple to be her adoptive parents. She had done everything she could.
That night, Tao Yanyan was in a state of distress for a long time. She kept pondering over and over the many doubts about Miss Gu.
It’s a pity that seventeen years have passed and all the people who knew the truth have passed away, so there is no way to find out.
For several days afterwards, Tao Yanyan would ask the Demon Lord whenever he thought of any doubts, which made the Demon Lord very annoyed.
His health was not good to begin with, and he had been running around for days and was exhausted without getting a good rest. Tao Yanyan had questions left and right, and doubts. He was not the person involved and was only a child of a few years old at the time. How could he know the truth?
So after asking too many questions, the Demon Lord became impatient and said, "Can you please be quiet? I cannot answer these questions of yours."
Tao Yanyan was not giving up: "Does your sect have any old people from those days who know the truth, preferably those who participated in the whole process? Just because you don't know doesn't mean there are no people who know."
The Demon Lord hesitated for a long time before saying, "I see that you won't give up until you get to the bottom of it. So I will reluctantly let you meet your biological father. If you have any questions, go and ask him."
Tao Yanyan was shocked, his face turned pale, and he couldn't speak clearly: "No, I'm just asking a few questions, there's no need to kill people to silence them, right?"
"What do you mean by killing to silence someone?" The Demon Lord asked curiously, "When will I kill you?"
Tao Yanyan frowned and said, "You just said that you would send me to see your father to ask questions. Isn't this... you want to kill me?"
The Demon Lord didn't expect that she actually thought that her father was dead!
He raised his eyebrows: "He is not dead, he is alive and well."
"Ah?" Tao Yanyan was stunned: "He is still alive, then how did you get to the position?" Isn't it usually the son who inherits the position after the father's death?
The Demon Lord thought about it and decided to tell her some things about the Demon Cult: "The Demon Cult was founded by my grandfather, who invited my father to marry into the family and inherit the position of Demon Lord. He abdicated because he let my mother down."
