Chapter 748 Ye Family's Secret
Ye Wu told Gu Qingzhou everything.
"My mother did not die on the fourth day of the 10th month, but on the fourth day of the 9th month." Ye Wu cried.
She started from the beginning.
"My mother got sick when I was seven years old. After she got sick, her temper became very weird, and she was very mean to our sisters and servants, and she only improved in front of her father.
We all love our mother and will not say that her faults are wrong. The servant knows that my parents are deeply in love, and they dare not gossip. My father is away all year round, and he has never known his mother's quirks." Ye Wu said.
When she recalled her mother, she couldn't help but shivered.
After my mother fell ill, her temperament was very violent.
The eldest and second daughters were a little older, only Ye Wu was the youngest, and Ye Governor Ye didn't believe her words, so Mrs. Ye kept torturing Ye Wu.
"She hit me and burned me with a gun." Ye Wu's tears were like beads with broken threads. "Once I brought her medicine, she even stabbed my hand with a needle."
Gu Qingzhou was shocked when he heard this.
It turned out that Ye Wu was abused by her biological mother since she was a child.
"She is sick. After she beat me, she cried even more sadly than me, but what can I do? When she had an attack, there was always a sense of resentment in her heart, and she wanted to spill it all on me, but she couldn't control it." Ye Wu said.
Mrs. Ye had a strange personality during that time.
In front of her eldest daughter and husband, she was as always; in front of her servant, she was mean and harsh; only in front of her younger daughter can she reveal her pervert.
She felt inexplicably irritable.
When this irritability moves, she will be unable to control herself when she gets sick, and she will abuse Ye Wu.
"When I was very young, my mother always held me. She taught me to read and trace the red color. She liked me the most. Among the three daughters, she was also closest to me.
In those years, I didn't dare to say anything, just hope that my mother's illness would be cured.
However, she became serious day by day. At first, she just hit me, but later she hit my elder sister, second sister and servant. Both the elder sister and second sister insisted on hiding it and not let my father know.
My eldest sister got married later, and my second sister grew up. She often stayed in school, and I was the youngest. My father told me to take care of my mother.
From the age of seven to the death of my mother, I learned a lot in those five years. I knew how to like and how to deal with my father.
But no matter how I took care of my mother, she was still unhappy. She was thin and as thin as she was.
The year my mother passed away, I started to suffer from insomnia in May. I always had nightmares and couldn't rest all night. I was covered in wounds.
My father finally got it.
When my father confronted her mother, my mother cursed and said that she wanted all of us to die, so why did she die alone?
I feel guilty, and the insomnia becomes even worse.
Later, I was a pastor from the church hospital and gave me some Western medicine and said it could help me sleep. It was indeed good at the beginning, but later there was a problem."
When the topic was opened, Ye Wu told Gu Qingzhou all the causes and consequences of the matter.
She had already carried too much.
Gu Qingzhou finally understood that Ye Governor Ye had a special preference for Ye Wu because he felt that he was owing her and was making up for her.
"I took Western medicine given by the pastor and would sleepwalking when I was sleeping." Ye Wu said.
Gu Qingzhou said: "I once knew a doctor named Ainold. He said that sleep aids may cause side effects of sleepwalking."
Ye Wu wiped her tears and said, "That's right."
She sleepwalking and went to her mother's side several times, saying that she wanted to deliver medicine to her mother.
All servants at home know about this.
So, on the fourth day of the September 19th, Ye Wu appeared again in Mrs. Ye’s courtyard when she was at night.
There was a huge fire in the sky, and Ye Wu ran out of the main courtyard and shouted to put out the fire.
"I don't know why, I coughed hard and woke up." Ye Wu said, "As soon as I opened my eyes, I slept in the yard, and there were fire everywhere."
When a person just woke up, his consciousness was weak.
Ye Wu chose to be selfish. She hurriedly ran out and called a servant to come and put out the fire.
At that time, Governor Ye's mansion had just been established. Mrs. Ye didn't like servants to stay overnight, and Governor Ye happened to hold a military meeting all night, so Mrs. Ye herself was the only one in the yard.
"When my father heard the movement, he sent someone to put out the fire. When the fire was slightly relieved, he lie in the room and found that the place where the fire caught was not next to it, but on his mother's bed." Ye Wu covered her face in pain.
Someone lit Mrs. Ye's quilt.
Mrs. Ye, who was terminally ill, had no way to get up and run away.
She didn't even know.
The fire burned the bed and curtains, and then extended to the roof.
"At that time, I was the only one who appeared in the yard. My father's career had just been built, and I was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old child. Any rumors were enough to destroy the Ye family and me.
So, my father made a quick decision and said that he would take my mother out and put her in another courtyard to recuperate. In fact, my mother had already burned charcoal at that time.
After being left for a month, my mother, who was already seriously ill, died because she was frightened and she was exhausted. No one knew the reason.” Ye Wu said.
They buried Mrs. Ye a month later.
The main courtyard completely gave up and switched to a guest room.
No one knows about this except the Ye family's children and Ye Governor Ye.
When Ye Wu said this, she even cried at her desk.
"Maybe, I really set the fire." Ye Wu cried, "In my sleep, I vented all the resentment of being abused by her for many years on her and ignited her. I killed my mother."
"No, Awu, it's not you!" Gu Qingzhou said.
Ye Wu cried even more sadly.
"You can't be sure, neither can I." Ye Wu said, "Even if it's a father, can he guarantee it? Teacher, I'm a murderer, I'm so afraid of fire."
Gu Qingzhou hugged her.
She gently stroked Ye Wu's back and whispered: "Awu, let's check it out, how about it?"
Ye Wu's crying stopped slightly.
She looked up at Gu Qingzhou.
Gu Qingzhou said: "If it is really an accident, then there is nothing to say. What if it was done by someone else?"
Ye Wu opened her eyes wide: "No, no one will do this except me."
The one who Mrs. Ye abused for the longest time was Ye Wu.
The only person who wants to take revenge on her and wants her to die is Ye Wu.
Therefore, Ye Wu herself was not sure whether she had taken action.
"Anything is possible." Gu Qingzhou said, "Awu, I believe in you."
Ye Wu sobbed and asked Gu Qingzhou: "Teacher, when did you know?"
Gu Qingzhou did not answer.
In fact, she didn't know the inside story so clearly at the beginning, and she didn't even know the time when Mrs. Ye died.
Ye Wu told her now.
Gu Qingzhou firmly believed that Ye Wu's heart disease originated from the fire in the main courtyard of her parents.
She followed this line, pretending to be clear about everything, and then followed the clues and saw the clues.
Ye Wu had such an experience since she was a child. She was not perverted, but was just indifferent to people and things. Gu Qingzhou found it very rare.
Maybe, she can help Ye Wu.
To untie the knot, one needs to prove that Ye Wu did not set fire.
