Xue An knew very well that Zhu Zhesheng would never offer such a great opportunity to him for no reason; he must have an ulterior motive.
Indeed.
When Xue An asked, Zhu Zhesheng immediately knelt down, his face full of hatred, and said,
"My lord, I seek nothing else but one thing from you: to make the one who schemed against me pay a hundredfold and return to me what I lost!"
"And who is the person who set you up?"
Zhu Zhesheng raised his head, gritting his teeth, and said, "To tell you the truth, the one who set me up is none other than my unfaithful fiancée!"
"Fiancée?" Yue Qinghuan asked in surprise.
"That’s right!"
Then Zhu Zhesheng recounted the story with a face full of humiliation.
It turned out that back when Zhu Zhesheng’s elders were still alive, they had arranged a marriage for Zhu Zhesheng.
The other party was a wealthy family in the spirit stone business, who often dealt with the Zhu Family owning spirit mineral veins, so their relationship was very good.
At the time, both parties believed this marriage was a match made in heaven, because once the two got married, the families’ relationship would progress further.
At that time, with ownership of both the mineral veins and the business, they would be practically invincible.
Zhu Zhesheng naturally had no objections, as he had met his fiancée back then and found her not only beautiful but also elegant and captivating.
Unexpectedly, before the wedding could take place, the elders of the Zhu Family suddenly died one after another, leaving Zhu Zhesheng as the only surviving member in the blink of an eye.
Thus, the marriage was naturally postponed.
What moved Zhu Zhesheng at that time was that his fiancée did not leave him, but instead voluntarily helped him manage the aftermath.
As the two spent their days and nights together, they were like fire and tinder, an unstoppable force.
At that time, Zhu Zhesheng genuinely believed he had found his soulmate.
But little did he know, every step his fiancée took was with an ulterior motive.
Soon, under her intentional or unintentional temptation, Zhu Zhesheng developed a gambling addiction.
And eventually lost most of his wealth.
Even so, Zhu Zhesheng still did not realize, just thinking he was unlucky.
Later, his fiancée used a ruse to lead him to Linglong City, ultimately trapping him there, unable to extricate himself.
As Zhu Zhesheng recounted these passages, the hatred on his face was almost overflowing.
"To think I was so blind at that time, believing that vile woman truly cared for me, even letting her handle the mineral veins passed down from my ancestors... and in the end..."
"In the end, she sold the veins to her own family, didn’t she?" Xue An suddenly interjected.
Zhu Zhesheng was stunned, staring at Xue An, clearly not knowing how he had guessed.
Xue An sighed lightly, "Don’t you understand yet? This was a trap from the start! Even this so-called marriage agreement was just to let your guard down."
Zhu Zhesheng’s eyes gradually widened, clearly shocked by Xue An’s words.
"You... you mean to say..."
Xue An nodded, "That’s right, even your elders may have died at their hands!"
This statement was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Zhu Zhesheng frozen on the spot.
