Chapter 2188: She Always Knew What Others Were Thinking
When Hua Zhichun was still living in the city as the son of the governor, he once saved a child beggar who was almost frozen to death right at the gate of the Feng Xue Temple. The child was smart enough to seize the opportunity and asked for a chance to be his servant. In order to persuade Hua Zhichun, he even changed his name to Ye Nu to prove his loyalty to Hua Zhichun.
Hua Zhichun agreed to keep the child servant. To the child’s benefit, Hua Zhichun had always been very kind to his servants. He never tortured them or gave them a hard time. As for Ye Nu, he treated him especially well, like a brother of his own. Whenever there was something good to eat or to see, he would keep some for the child or invite him over. He would usually take Ye Nu along wherever he went.
The old governor was not happy about it, so he often reprimanded Hua Zhichun over his attention for the child. He could see that Ye Nu harbored evil intentions, so it would be best if Hua Zhichun could stay away from the child. However, Hua Zhichun never paid attention.
After that, Hua Zhichun went for a hunting trip. He wanted to bring Ye Nu along, but Ye Nu had to run some errands for the old governor, so he missed the trip. The trip lasted for a century, and Hua Zhichun finally returned to a completely new environment.
"Ye Nu’s pinky finger is shorter than normal, so it would be easy to identify him. However, the Governor Ye that we met was wearing gloves, so I could not see his pinky finger." Hua Zhichun sighed.
"If it is really him, I really do not understand why he is doing this to me. I never mistreated him back in those days. If they are not the same person, then perhaps it is just a coincidence that they seem the same." Hua Zhichun could not decide.
