Chapter 88 Learning the truth

Aunt Mei lay on her back, trying very hard to hold back her tears, and turned her head away, not wanting to hear another word from her.

Seeing her like this, Xu Huan couldn't bear to continue talking. Looking at her current state, he felt extremely heartbroken.

Lin Qingwu sighed softly and pulled Xu Huan up. She had been kneeling on the ground for too long, and her knees must have been very sore.

"Madam, please go back first. I will come to visit you later when I have figured it out."

Lin Qingwu nodded and pulled Xu Huan out of the room. He looked back and felt that fate was playing tricks on people.

"If it had been...that's all. Just don't mention it."

After leaving the courtyard, Xu Huan returned to his cold attitude, looking at everyone with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Madam, can you please go out and hang out with us?"

Lin Qingwu originally wanted to refuse. She never liked going to those lively places and always felt that there were too many people and too many right and wrong.

But just now I saw her being so heartbroken, and I was afraid that something might happen if someone didn't notice.

Xu Huan waited for a while, but didn't wait for her answer.

"In less than half a month, I will return to my husband's house. Before that, I want to have a few words with you. It's not far away. It's just a ride around in a carriage."

After hearing what she said, Lin Qingwu couldn't refuse.

For some reason, I felt a little groggy as soon as I got on the carriage. When I woke up again, I had been taken to the suburbs.

After opening the curtain and getting out of the carriage, Xu Huan was standing not far away.

Lin Qingwu walked over and was about to call her name when a cold knife was pressed against her neck.

Xu Huan looked at her coldly, as if looking at a dead thing.

"what do you mean?"

"What do you mean? You should know better than me! Tell me! Where did you get my mother! If you can't explain it, this will be your burial place!"

Feeling the blade cut through her skin, Lin Qingwu took a deep breath and did not dare to move at all, fearing that she would do something more extreme.

"Xu Huan! Calm down! If you ask, I will tell you what I know! There are only you and me here, I can't run away."

Hearing what she said, Xu Huan thought for a moment and put down the knife.

Lin Qingwu breathed a sigh of relief. She had just felt the fear of facing death.

"Tell me, if you dare to lie to me a word, I will cut you into pieces!"

Hearing what she said, Lin Qingwu was not annoyed. He took out his mother-in-law's hairpin and handed it to her.

Xu Huan took it and put it into her arms. She only accidentally caught a glimpse of Lin Qingwu wearing this thing yesterday.

This thing is my mother's favorite thing. She wears it on her head all day long. Thinking about it, I haven't seen my mother these days. Although others say that my mother went to the temple to pray for blessings, there is no news about it for these days.

This made her feel vaguely uneasy.

Lin Qingwu didn't mince words and asked her directly: "Do you know why all of a sudden, the antidote that can restore Aunt Mei's memory came into my hands?"

Xu Huan didn't speak, which was something she had never figured out.

"A few days ago, my people saw the people next to my wife coming out of the ancestral hall, and the people in the ancestral hall carried out two corpses. They followed those people all the way to the mass graves, and then they learned about the two corpses. The identity of the corpse is that of my mother-in-law and the maid beside her, Jinzhi."

Hearing Lin Qingwu's words, the knife in Xu Huan's hand fell to the ground with a "snap".

"You mean...my mother...is dead?" Lin Qingwu nodded and continued: "In order to find out the cause of my mother-in-law's death, I ordered people to check her body. The reason found was that she died of death. The wound was stabbed, the throat was sealed with a knife, and the blood was highly poisonous."

"This...how is this possible? Not long ago, she took me to her room and talked to me..."

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something.

"According to your opinion, my mother was killed by the old lady... and she was killed from the ancestral hall. But why on earth?! My mother was loyal and filial to that dead old lady. How could she be so cruel? Did you do this murder?"

Seeing her in such pain, Lin Qingwu didn't want to go around in circles anymore, "What if my mother-in-law discovered the old lady's secret? Did you know that the medicine that could restore Aunt Mei's memory was obtained by her from the ancestral hall.

She must have known something before she was silenced by the old lady. "

Xu Huan laughed, this is really ridiculous!

The mother-in-law killed her daughter-in-law...

"Then...where is my mother buried now?"

Xu Huan asked pleadingly. Before she could fulfill her filial piety, her mother would leave them forever before her father came back.

"If it weren't for...my mother, if she wasn't doing it for me and to make me happy, she wouldn't have thought about stealing the medicine, and she wouldn't have been discovered by the old lady..."

She slapped herself twice, and Lin Qingwu hurriedly took her hand to stop her crazy move.

"My mother...my mother is just gone...I will never have a mother again."

Hearing her words, Lin Qingwu felt very uncomfortable.

Why isn't she sad when her mother-in-law passes away? Her mother-in-law was the only person in this house who gave her warmth.

Now, no one really cared about her efforts and difficulties anymore.

No one would say a few words of justice to the old lady when she was in trouble.

Xu Huan slumped to the ground, tears streaming down her face. She really regretted it. If she had ended the old woman's life early, no one would have harmed her mother.

"It's all my fault... It's all my fault. I hurt my mother... I hurt her." He picked up the knife on the ground and prepared to kill himself.

Lin Qingwu hurriedly snatched the knife away. Because she was too nervous, she didn't pay attention, and the blade cut her palm.

"Wake up! The dead can't live anymore, so what's the point of doing this now? Is it to avenge your mother, or to bring your mother back to life!"

Lin Qingwu's words directly woke her up.

"Yes, my mother was harmed like this, and those damn people are still enjoying themselves! This is not fair, there is no such reason in the world!"

He wiped his tears randomly and stood up from the ground with his body supported.

Lin Qingwu supported her, fearing that she would not be able to stand firmly.

Xu Huan glanced sideways at the scar on her neck. The blood was no longer coming out, but it was still shocking to see.

"What happened today really hurt you, and I will apologize to you."

Lin Qingwu didn't say anything. After all, if such a thing happened to anyone, he would go crazy.

"Let's go back. The old lady has been ill for so long. If we don't visit her again, I'm afraid it won't be justified."
