I made the villain right.

The atmosphere in the front hall of the general's mansion was a little quiet. Shi Wei sat on the main seat, while Shi Jin and Shi Sheng sat side by side, apparently waiting for him to tell the story of that year.

Some things need to be said.

Shi Wei took a sip of tea and said, "Jin'er was not sent to Qianshuang Pavilion because of a serious illness, but because she was poisoned by someone. It's called fire poison, and only Qianshuang Pavilion can treat this poison."

Shi Jin was stunned when she heard this, but at the same time, she couldn't understand something, which was why Shi Wei wanted to hide this matter. What was there to hide?

"Then why did father hide this matter back then?" Shi Jin asked the doubts in his heart.

Shi Wei hesitated for a moment, he looked at Shi Jin and explained: "Your poisoning has far-reaching implications, so I had to conceal it and tell others that I was guided by Master Daokong, saying that you were destined to have disasters, and that you had to enter Qianshuang Pavilion to recuperate and practice hard to turn disasters into difficulties."

There are many people involved behind the scenes? Shi Wei did not say how many people were involved, and he did not seem to intend to explain it to them.

Shi Jin felt complicated at this moment. Some of the plots in the play had collapsed, and there were many hidden copies here.

Shi Jin thought of some things in her dream, she frowned slightly, she wondered: "Even if they sent me to detoxify, they didn't have to stay in Qianshuang Pavilion for four years, and they didn't care about it. This is really unreasonable."

"The poison you were poisoned with is extremely toxic. It attacks once a month and requires at least half a year to completely detoxify you. As for leaving you there for four years without caring about you, Dad had no choice. Jin'er, Dad is sorry for you."

When Shi Wei said the last sentence, there was a trace of tears in his eyes. He had always felt guilty towards Shi Jin, and at the same time he hated himself, so he loved her in every way to make up for his debt.

Shi Wei felt that the time was not right, and there were some things he did not intend to tell. But the more obscure he spoke, the more he would keep people in suspense and make them angry.

When Shi Jin saw Shi Wei's ambiguous words, she suddenly felt an inexplicable anger in her heart. She didn't know whether it came from herself or from the emotions hidden deep in the original owner's heart.

"What do you mean by having no choice? What do you mean by you are sorry for me? Dad, please explain it clearly," Shi Jin said anxiously.

Shi Sheng stared at Shi Wei with complicated eyes. He was a little unhappy with Shi Wei's answer. He thought Shi Wei was wary of people outside and wanted to hide the matter. He could understand that, but what he didn't understand was that they were a family, why couldn't he even tell them? Was he wary of them?

Shi Sheng echoed, "Yes, Dad, you were unclear from the beginning. You don't even believe me and my sister. What on earth are you trying to hide?"

When Shi Wei heard this, his heart tightened. After a moment of silence, he said in a heavy tone: "Of course not. I kept it a secret from you for your own good. The less you know about this matter, the safer it will be. When the time is right, I will tell you."

After Shi Wei said this, Shi Jin and Shi Sheng had no choice but to give up.

"Then it was those people tonight who poisoned my sister," Shi Sheng asked doubtfully.

Wei shook his head when he said "No".

Shi Jin was shocked when she heard this. This answer was beyond her expectation. She originally thought that those people would kidnap her and even poison her in order to obtain the Shi family's formation in order to threaten Shi Wei.

"Who is that?" Shi Jin asked in surprise.

Shi Wei's eyes suddenly dimmed. He sighed and said, "This is a person I owe, because some of my actions caused the destruction of his family. Although I was forced, the damage to him is irreversible." There was a hint of anger in his words, but more of it was guilt.

There was a flash of surprise in Shi Jin's eyes, and the next second the corners of his mouth twitched, he was speechless. This was another thing that could not be said openly.

The next moment, Shi Sheng's angry voice was heard, "Even so, you can't poison your sister just to avenge your father. That person must be a cruel person, otherwise how could he have the heart to kill a ten-year-old child?"

Hearing this, Shi Jin did not speak. Not knowing the whole situation, she did not comment. Moreover, she saw Shi Wei's expression, which seemed to indicate that he felt guilty. Perhaps there was something else going on.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it. We have gained something tonight. At least we know that the man tonight is the one who got the Shi family's formation back then. As long as we catch him, some mysteries can be solved." When Shi Wei said the last sentence, a light flashed in his eyes. He was looking forward to that day.

After listening to what Shi Wei said, Shi Jin recalled what happened tonight. She had some questions in her mind, so she asked, "Dad, how did you determine that the man who showed up tonight was the one you were looking for that year?"

"The two Shi Family Formation books I gave you are not completely fake. Some of the content in them is real. If you have not seen the real Shi Family Formation, you cannot tell the real from the fake. However, the Shi Family Formation is unknown to outsiders except the Shi Family. He knew it was fake as soon as he got it, which means he is the mastermind I was looking for back then."

Shi Jin understood immediately after hearing this. She thought that they had discovered the letter from Shi Wei, asking her to act with him. She also thought that the book of Shi family formations she got was all fake, but she didn't expect that part of it was real. No wonder Zhao Xuan didn't realize that the things in it were fake at that time.

Shi Sheng listened to Shi Wei's words and got some clues. "Dad, there is one thing I can't figure out. Since the Shi family's formation has already fallen into their hands, why did they let Zhao Xuan look for it?"

"When I handed the Shi family formation to them, I tore off three pages. Those three pages were torn from parts of the three formations. This also means that three of the ten formations are incomplete, so what they asked Zhao Xuan to find were actually the three torn pages."

The situation was urgent at the time and he did not have time to get a fake one. He could only select three of the ten formations with greater power and tear them off.

Then Shi Wei took out two real copies of the Shi family's formation from his arms and handed them to the brother and sister respectively. They took them upon seeing this.

"This is the real Shi family formation, take it back and study it."

"Okay," they said in unison.

"It's getting late, you should go to bed early," Shi Wei reminded.

After Shi Jin left the front hall, she went to the study. She wanted to draw a portrait of the person she saw last night, so that if Shi Wei wanted to look for that person, it would be easier to find him with the portrait.

She painted three pictures in total, just focusing on capturing the spirit of the paintings without going into details.

She painted until midnight, and fell asleep in the study while painting.

In a daze, she fell asleep.
