Infinite Game: The delicate and charming girl wins every game

"So this is ah....."

After hearing what Cuicui said, Jizhe nodded thoughtfully;

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and looked at A Yuan who was beginning to feel sleepy after eating incense. Ji Zhe felt a little reluctant and said in disbelief:

"Ayuan was murdered by someone? But he was so young!"

"Oh, your reaction is exactly the same as Master Pei's at that time,"

Cuicui looked like she was used to it. There was no sadness on her pretty face. She picked up the sleeping Ayuan and put him in the closet, closed the door, turned around and said to Jizhe,

"Then let me tell you our story."

......

Pei Yu, who had gone out to check the accounts, was sitting in the accounting office of the Pei family's shop, opening a letter that had just been delivered.

The room seemed a little dim without a candle, but it was not difficult to see some words about "seasonal discount" written on the envelope.

As Pei Yu flipped through the pages one by one, his eyes gradually turned colder as he saw the contents clearly;

Although he had a premonition in his heart, Pei Yu still felt a little uncomfortable when he actually saw these things;

'Swindler', 'relying on his looks', 'rich', 'lots of money'... these are all comments made about the boy by people who allegedly knew him.

Pei Yu read these two thin pieces of paper from morning till night, until it was dark, and then he slowly put the letter back into the envelope;

There were many candles placed next to him. Pei Yu picked up one and lit it. The envelope was stained with flames and thrown into the brazier. A small cluster of flames rose, illuminating the man's deep black pupils, with the orange-yellow flames swaying and jumping in them.

......

"Later, my father was hit by a mad horse on his way home. My family had no money to treat him, so I wanted to sell myself to a local wealthy businessman in exchange for money and food, but my mother disagreed."

"But at that time, Ayuan was only five years old, and the needlework that A'niang did could not raise enough money. So I asked the maid who took in the maids, and she said that as a maid, you can only get 500 coins a month, but if you are a concubine, you can get two taels of silver as soon as you enter the house."

"So you..."

Ji Zhe couldn't say the rest of the words. He looked at Cuicui who looked calm in front of him and couldn't help but said in a hoarse voice,

"How old are you? How come you——"

Cuicui looks much younger than herself.

"Um......"

Cuicui leaned her head on the table with her hands and thought for a while, as if this question was too far away for her now. "The year I died... I should have been fifteen years old, and my mother held a ceremony for me."

At the age of fifteen, she is still just a student nowadays, but in the past, she had to endure so much...

Ji Zhe was thinking this when he suddenly realized something very important:

"But then, your father's illness was cured, and the family had food to eat, so why did you become like this? And Yuan, he's still so young."

Ji Zhe didn't quite understand. If according to Cuicui's words, she married into a rich businessman's house as a concubine, and the two taels of silver could help her father's medical treatment and improve the family's situation, then what about these two ghosts who appeared now?

"Because that old lady cheated me. The two taels of silver were not for my parents. She took them all. By the time I found out, my father had died of illness. My mother fainted at home out of grief. Yuan wanted to go out to find a doctor but got lost. When he was crying loudly, the rich businessman's son said he was noisy, so he cut off his tongue and threw him into the snow to freeze to death."

"After my father and Yuan died, my mother wanted to commit suicide. But she still wanted to come to the rich man's house to see me. However, the doorman didn't believe her at all. Seeing that my mother didn't want to leave, he kicked her. My mother's already weak body was killed by this kick."

From then on, Cuicui had no relatives.

"By the time I knew this, it was too late. I didn't even know where their bodies were."

"So I went to the kitchen and stole some rat poison, put it in the well, and put on the red clothes I wore when I entered the mansion. I found a time when no one was around and hanged myself at their front door."

When Cuicui said this, she had an expression as if she had succeeded in playing a prank.

"I think they must be scared to death by me!"
