Eula was holding a letter in her hand, with Liyue's name on the envelope.
"If I remember correctly, this name should be Ren Zha's biological father, right? Is this the letter that Ren Zha's biological father sent to his father in Liyue? At that time, Ren Zha was still very young and had not yet come to my house..."
Eula's eyes flickered.
“Ren Zha kept silent about his past in Liyue. It is said that he did not have a good life in the slums, so no one would delve too much into Ren Zha’s past experiences…”
Eula was about to put the letter in her hand back, but when she put it halfway into the box, she suddenly pulled it out.
"Although it's not very polite to peek at other people's letters, I'm more concerned about Ren Zha's matter! Let me see what's written in this letter..."
Eula opened the letter and read its contents.
"what……"
Youla's pupils were shocked and she fell backwards.
"This letter..."
On the other side, the doctor prepared medicine for the Lawrence family master. The medicine and water were placed on a plate. The servants were carrying it up the stairs to deliver it to the master. At this time, Ren Zha came over from the side, and the servant greeted him respectfully: "Master."
Ren Zha nodded slightly and looked at the medicine in the servant's hand: "Is this father's medicine for today? I suddenly remembered that I have something to talk to father about. It's on the way, so let me take it to father and save you the trip."
"Okay, Master. Thank you for your help."
The servant handed the plate to Ren Zha and thought to himself, he is worthy of being the young master, he treats everyone so gently and considerately.
"Nothing, just passing by. Okay, go and do your thing."
"Goodbye, Master."
The servant turned and left. Ren Zha, holding the medicine, walked up the stairs steadily with a gentle and calm face. When he was completely gone and could no longer be seen by the servant, Ren Zha lowered his head and looked at the medicine placed next to the clear water in the plate. He held the plate in one hand and reached for the medicine with the other.
“Ren Zha——!”
Eula's voice in the corridor.
Chapter 25: Swear on Your Mother's Honor
Is it Eula? Why is Eula here? I saw her go to the study room before!
Ren Zha's pupils shrank, and he was surprised by Youla's appearance, but he quickly returned to normal and greeted Youla: "Sister, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"
Youla walked towards Ren Zha, looked at the medicine on the plate, and asked, "Is this medicine for father?"
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"Why are you the one serving medicine to father? Where are the others?"
Ren Zha answered naturally, "I remembered that I had something to ask my father, so I just happened to pick it up on the way. Sister, you look very serious. Is there something urgent?"
"It seems like you do this kind of thing often." Youla's eyes moved from the medicine on the plate to Ren Zha's face, and she reached out to take out the envelope: "I accidentally found the letter your father sent me before."
Youla stared at Ren Zha with her eyes straight, trying to see something from Ren Zha's eyes.
"Ok?"
But Eula didn't see anything. Ren Zha looked back at Eula with strange eyes, not understanding why Eula said this.
Seeing that there was no effect, Eula looked at the letter in her hand and said, "I'll read it to you, 'I'm sick now, and I'm probably going to die. My chest is stuffy, my head is aching, and even my limbs are starting to feel numb and weak. I keep coughing, and I feel like I can't hold on for much longer. I've become even more greedy for alcohol than before..."
As Ren Zha listened, there was no change in his expression. He just placed the plate in his hand on the table at the entrance of the stairs.
Youla also gave up reading and stared at Ren Zha again, shouting at him, "The symptoms described in this letter are exactly the same as my father's current symptoms! What's going on! Ren Zha!"
Ren Zha's expression remained calm, so calm that it was frightening. He opened his mouth and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Youla looked at the medicine on the table, stretched out her hand and grabbed it: "This medicine, let me check it!"
Youla grabbed the medicine and was about to take it back, but Ren Zha's eyes changed again. He also reached out and grabbed Youla's wrist, making it impossible for Youla to take her hand back.
"Let go!" Youla shouted and tried to struggle free, but Ren Zha's hand held Youla's wrist tightly. Youla struggled several times but couldn't break free.
Ren Zha didn't let go and said directly: "I understand what you mean. Do you suspect that I have tampered with my father's medicine?"
"How are you going to explain this letter?"
"So I don't understand what you're thinking, Eula. Aren't the symptoms you mentioned common to older people? And don't forget who caused your father's illness! Are you trying to shirk responsibility?"
"you……"
So this is why I didn't doubt you before reading this letter! But this letter is too coincidental!
Ren Zha didn't give Youla a chance to respond. He continued to hold Youla's wrist and said, "I didn't think you would doubt me to this extent. Have you not forgotten the past and are you still holding a grudge against me?"
"Eula! If you want to check this package of medicine, it means you are doubting the relationship between us." Ren Zha looked at Eula fiercely and raised his voice, "Then you have never really regarded me as a relative!"
The questioning tone in Ren Zha's eyes and words made Youla subconsciously avoid Ren Zha's sight.
Eula recalled the happy scene of the three of them in her father's room. Indeed, if she really regarded him as her own brother, she should not have such doubts about him. After all, she was not sure about this matter. As he said, it was normal for older people to have these diseases. Drinking too much was also the most normal thing for Mond people or alcoholics. The doctor at home did not find anything, so why should she doubt him?
It was me who was holding a grudge and couldn't forget the past, which made me wary of Ren Zha. So after reading the letter, I rushed over to question him... If there is really no problem with this medicine, and Ren Zha really did nothing, and I wronged Ren Zha, then can my relationship with Ren Zha return to the way it was before as a family?
Seeing Youla looking away, Ren Zha gently raised his head and continued, "You are just too worried about your father's health. I can understand that you said such things out of concern. Youla, put the medicine back on the tray. I can pretend that I didn't hear anything just now and nothing happened. Our relationship is still the same as before."
Well, if Ren Zha really didn't do anything well, this is just a stepping stone...
Ren Zha stared at Youla, and his whole body seemed to be in darkness.
Eula, please put the medicine back to me!
Just as Ren Zha was thinking this in his heart, Youla's gaze moved back and met Ren Zha's gaze, her beautiful eyes filled with determination.
This look…it’s that look that makes me feel disgusted again!
Then Ren Zha felt the coldness on his hands, and the strength in his hands loosened. Youla grabbed the medicine in his hands and struggled to break free.
Ren Zha looked at the divine eye that flashed on Youla's shoulder just now, frowned, and said, "So, you still don't believe me, right?"
Youla looked at Ren Zha and said, "Although I really want to continue to maintain the close relationship between brother and sister, my father's safety is at stake on the other hand. Just consider it as my willfulness!"
Having already made up her mind, Youla held the medicine in her hand and said to Renzha, "Renzha, I can put this packet of medicine back on the tray and apologize to you, but you have to swear on your biological father's honor first that you are innocent."
Ren Zha's pupils shrank.
Let me swear on that bastard's honor?
Ren Zha’s mind flashed back to the scene in the slums of Liyue and the image of his biological father’s alcoholism.
What kind of reputation does that bastard have! So, Eula, I will use...
"No, wait..." Eula changed the subject and thought to herself, I suspect that Ren Zha has committed patricide. If he is asked to use the reputation of his biological father, no, this reason should not be used!
Youla stared at Renzha's face and said seriously again: "I swear on the honor of your mother, on the honor of your biological mother!"
Ren Zha's expression, which had only slightly changed before, finally changed, and his entire face became distorted.
You, a scumbag, actually asked me to swear on my mother's honor!
Youla urged: "Ren Zha, swear, if you are innocent, swear!"
Ren Zha gritted his teeth and followed.
Do you want to swear? This scumbag! Scumbag! Scumbag! Bastard! Bastard! Bastard Eula!
"Hey, Eula, even if you are being unreasonable, there should be a limit." Ren Zha stretched out his hand tremblingly and pointed at Eula, "You came over without permission and said some weird things, suspected me, and even asked me to swear on my deceased mother. You, you are a bit too much!"
As he said that, he punched Eula hard in the face.
Chapter 26 Misunderstanding?
Ren Zha angrily punched Eula on the right side of her face, but Eula was not knocked down. The Eye of God on her shoulder flashed and provided strength to Eula, allowing her to take the punch headlong.
Keeping this action, Youla stared at Ren Zha with cold eyes: "You dare not swear, my suspicion of you has turned into certainty, Ren Zha, although I don't know your past, and I don't know what happened between you and your biological father, but it is obvious that you are a beast who killed your father."
Ren Zha narrowed his eyes, put down his fist and wanted to snatch the medicine from Eula's hand, but this time it was Eula who grabbed Ren Zha's wrist instead.
Eula's eyes were full of determination, and the Eye of God was no longer just flickering, but directly lit up. The air around her gradually became colder, and an inexplicable aura seemed to burst out from Eula's body.
"I want to protect my father. I will protect the Lawrence family, but in my own way!"
As she spoke, she bent Ren Zha's hand to the side. Ren Zha wanted to break free, but the frost froze his wrist, making him unable to exert much strength for the time being. Youla quickly grabbed Ren Zha's collar, lifted him up, and threw him downstairs.
Ren Zha fell face up in the hall, injured. He leaned to the side and spat out a mouthful of blood. He then looked sideways at Youla upstairs and said, "It seems like you are here to cause trouble for me this time. Do you want to fight me?"
Youla pointed at Ren Zha and shouted, "Ren Zha! After all these years, I already know what you're thinking! You're still the same as before, never really considering yourself a member of the Lawrence family. From the beginning, there was no kinship or friendship between us! I won't let you get close to my father again! When I analyze the composition of this medicine, I will definitely send you to jail!"
Ren Zha wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up from the ground, looked at the determined Youla, and his voice became cold: "Sure enough, you have always been prejudiced against me. Over the years, you have never really believed in me and treated me as a relative. Well, in fact, I have never really treated you as a sister."
Youla glared at Ren Zha, you bastard, are you finally telling the truth?
Ren Zha also pointed at Youla and continued, "But how far do you want to slander me before you are satisfied? Father is still waiting to take medicine, so stop making trouble!"
This bastard even wanted my father to take this medicine! This medicine must have been tampered with by you!
"I've said before that I won't give you another chance! Now, I'm going to analyze this package of medicine. Before that, I'll instruct the housekeeper not to let anyone, including you, get close to my father! If there's nothing wrong with the medicine, I'll apologize to you and let you do whatever you want with it. Now go back to your room and don't step out of the door until I come back!"
"You want to ground me? You haven't even become the head of the family yet, but you've already started using the power of the head of the family?"
"No." Youla glared at Renzha, "This is my last order as the eldest sister, Renzha, go back to your room!"
"Yu-la-!"
Ren Zha screamed Youla's name, but finally dragged his injured body towards his room alone.
"Damn it, you bastard Eula!"
Ren Zha kept roaring in his heart, thinking about how he was grabbed by Youla and thrown down the stairs just now.
"I've been put in such a mess once again! Is it the power of God's Eye again?"
Ren Zha's face turned gloomy.
"Although I have been honing my martial arts for so many years, working harder and harder than Eula, and my strength is not that bad now, the more I practice, the more I understand the gap between ordinary mortals and the holder of the Eye of God. If Eula didn't use the Eye of God, I am confident that I can easily get rid of her. But once Eula controls the Eye of God, the result is unpredictable. The holder of the Eye of God has unlimited potential."
"For so many years, I have used the Lawrence family's wealth to buy the unactivated Eye of God, but I cannot activate any of its attributes. This has completely stopped me from thinking about relying on the Eye of God to enhance my strength."
Ren Zha secretly clenched his fists.
"I feel like my strength hasn't improved for a long time. At the beginning, I could still suppress Eula, but she seemed to have no bottleneck and her strength was still constantly improving. For mortals without the Eye of God, is there still a limit after all?"
Ren Zha walked back to his room, closed the door, sat on the chair near the window, and took out a gray and strange gem similar to the Eye of God from his clothes.
"This is the Evil Eye given to me by the executive officer named 'Doctor' who connected me with the Fatui through the Lawrence family. It is a prop created by the Kingdom of Winter to imitate the power of the Eye of God and can also manipulate elemental forces to gain power. Although the 'Doctor' said that using the Evil Eye will only cost a small price, according to the information I have found out, the price is not small, but life force."
Ren Zha threw the evil eye on the table beside him.
"I have never used this, and I don't plan to use it. Even if I use this to control the Lawrence family, what's the point with so little life left? So, are there any other ways to increase my strength?"
Ren Zha was thinking deeply and looked out the window. He saw Eula walking out of Lawrence's house and temporarily gave up the idea of finding ways to increase his strength.
hateful!
I never thought that Eula would find such a letter. Does this foreshadow anything?
Eula chose to go out. Was she going to find a doctor outside to test the medicine? Was she starting to lose trust in the doctor at home because of me?
Ren Zha took out another packet of medicine from his trouser pocket. This packet of medicine looked exactly the same as the previous one.
This medicine was indeed swapped by me. The medicine that Eula is holding now is definitely not the one prescribed by the doctor at home.
Outside the window, Youla had already walked far away. Ren Zha could no longer see Youla's figure and withdrew his gaze.
Eula, I'm looking forward to it. I'm very much looking forward to it.
The corners of Ren Zha's mouth turned up and he smiled.
If... you don't find any problems with that packet of medicine, then how are you going to face me again?
Eula!
…………
"This medicine is a cough suppressant. Based on its properties, it is relatively gentle on the body."
At the pharmacy, the doctor opened the medicine brought by Eula, analyzed it, and came to a conclusion.
"What——!" Eula, who had been waiting for the analysis results for a long time, was shocked. "Doctor, please check again. Is this packet of medicine really just cough medicine? Is there no other ingredient?"
"Lawrence family, what do you mean by this? I have been practicing medicine for decades, how could I make a wrong analysis? This is just a cough medicine, even if a healthy person takes it, nothing will happen to him!"
The doctor said angrily, "Hmph, you dare to question my professionalism. You are worthy of being a member of the Lawrence family. You have no manners at all!"
