Chapter 33: Bearing Eighteen Years of Injustice
In this secret investigation of Luo's past affairs, Xiao Bi has always been dissatisfied with Qiao.
Both experienced it, Yao was treacherous and scheming, but she was too naive and cowardly, and the possibility of knowing Luo's secret was too low.
Therefore, Xiao Bi did not dare to place her hopes on Ms. Qiao, but would rather spend time and energy dealing with Ms. Yao in an attempt to find some clues from her stories that were difficult to distinguish between true and false.
The looks on Huan Ji and Hua Xiaohan's faces told her that a breakthrough in the whole matter might have occurred.
Xiao Bi calmed down the excitement in her heart and urged: "Speak quickly!"
Hua Xiaohan glanced at the man next to him.
Huan Ji's brows seemed to be shrouded in sorrow, and he nodded slightly.
He was a lively and bright young man, and his smile was always as bright as the sun.
Not to mention Xiao Bi, even Huan Yu has never seen his younger brother like this.
Hua Xiaohan held Huan Ji's hand tightly and explained in detail what happened last night.
"Aji was delayed on something, and he came back a few hours later than his second brother yesterday.
After dinner, we went to pay our respects to my mother.
Unexpectedly, my mother didn't even have dinner, she just lay in bed alone in a daze.
Aji and I asked her what was wrong, but she found other topics and still refused to explain the reason.
I was worried, so I secretly went to the maids to ask.
Fu Guo said that a housekeeper's daughter-in-law, who was seven months pregnant, accidentally took oxytocin, and both mother and child died..."
Ingested by mistake?
Xiao Bi's brows wrinkled.
The life of a housekeeper's daughter-in-law in an honorable family is no worse than that of a matron in an ordinary official family.
Who is not surrounded by a large group of maids and servants?
It was clearly a fight between wives and concubines at home, and someone had plotted against this daughter-in-law.
Hua Xiaohan raised his hand: "Let's talk about this later. After listening to Fu Guo's story, I became suspicious of my mother's reaction.
We have all heard some rumors that the mother took the risk of taking labor-stimulating drugs in order to give birth to her eldest son before Luo's mother.
If this is really the case, she shouldn't have reacted like this after hearing what happened to the steward's wife."
Xiao Bi and Huan Yu looked at each other.
They have always had doubts about Qiao's taking inducing labor drugs.
With her own life and that of her child at stake, how ambitious and murderous a woman must be to be so ruthless?
And does Qiao, who has a cowardly personality, really look like someone who can do such a thing?
Even if you are instigated by someone, it is one thing to have a heartbeat, but it is another thing to actually implement it.
But Qiao's taking medicine is no longer a secret. Even the people Xiao Heng sent to Tianshui County can find out clearly, and she herself has never refuted it.
So they have absolutely no reason to question it.
Now after listening to Hua Xiaohan's analysis, the truth of the matter has gradually emerged.
If Ms. Qiao really took the oxytocin on her own initiative, after hearing what happened to her steward's daughter-in-law, she might be scared or sympathetic, but she shouldn't be in trouble.
Unless she was also the so-called "mistaken" in the first place.
So, who could be the person who plotted against Qiao?
Yao family? Old lady? Or... Luo family?
Huan Yu's palms were slightly sweaty.
Like everyone else in the world, he is unwilling to doubt his own mother under any circumstances.
But at this moment, Xiaomiao's suspicion was growing uncontrollably in his heart.
My mother was proficient in medical skills and deeply trusted by Mr. Qiao, so it was too easy to attack her.
And he had to admit that beauty, gentleness, intelligence, and kindness...
All the good things about his mother were told to him by others. In fact, he had no idea what kind of person his mother was.
Huan Yu seemed to have entered a dead end. He was ashamed of his suspicion of his mother, but also worried that this matter really had something to do with his mother.
In confusion, a warm hand suddenly stuffed into his palm.
Huan Yu woke up suddenly, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Xiao Bi looking at him with concern.
A pair of clear black and white eyes, clean and pure, full of trust.
Warmth rose little by little from the bottom of Huan Yu's heart, gradually overflowing his entire chest.
He held Xiao Bi's hand tightly and asked in a clear voice: "Xiaohan, what did mother say?"
Seeing that their thoughts were consistent with his own, Hua Xiaohan omitted the process of asking how to appease Mr. Qiao.
"My mother said that she almost went astray when she listened to Yao's instigation.
She even secretly asked people to go to the hospital to prepare inducing labor medicine, and just waited for the time to come and took it immediately.
But on the day when Luo's mother gave birth, she regained consciousness.
What is a title, and what is love?
If she harmed her unborn child because of her selfish desires, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life.
But the mother never expected that she would still give birth prematurely even though she had not taken any oxytocin."
Xiao Bi stroked her chin: "In that case, mother should explain the matter to father. There is no need to take the blame?"
Huan Ji suddenly sneered.
"Xiaojiu, no one in the world wants to take the blame, but in fact there are not many people who take the blame?
My mother is a simple-minded person, how can she act flawlessly?
She thought she had done it secretly by sending people to the hospital to get medicine, but in fact, everyone who wanted to know knew it.
In this case, can she still explain it clearly?
I just pity my mother, she can't even explain it with her long mouth, she has been burdened with injustice for eighteen years."
Xiao Bi said angrily: "No matter who gave the mother the inducing labor medicine, Yao was also the initiator.
She can’t just get rid of this matter, can she?”
Hua Xiaohan said: "I told my mother the same thing last night, but she said that the person most responsible for this matter is not my aunt, but herself."
Xiao Bi opened her mouth slightly, but could not utter a single word.
It turned out that everyone had made a mistake.
Mr. Qiao does not have any opinions, but he is not a coward at heart.
Yao Shi indeed provoked her with words, but she was the one who really made up her mind to do this.
It was she who sent someone to grab the medicine herself, not Yao who stuffed the medicine into her hands.
People always have to take responsibility for their own actions, right?
Huan Ji smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, if you don't argue with Yao, it's because she is kind and generous. As a son, I will never let her off easily.
And the person who drugged my mother, we have to dig deep to find him."
Huan Yu nodded solemnly: "Aji, don't worry, even if you are willing to spare him, I will continue to investigate and I will definitely restore my mother's innocence."
Hua Xiaohan squeezed Huan Ji's hand: "It's getting late, we still have to go and pay our respects to grandma.
You and your second brother haven't been to Rongxi Hall since you returned home. If your eldest brother takes the lead this morning, the old lady will be unhappy again."
Xiao Bi smiled and said: "Now everyone in the eldest house thinks that we have a bad relationship, so I can only force you two to climb over the wall again."
Hua Xiaohan's pretty face turned red: "You are the smartest, I can't hide anything from you."
