Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again
Chapter 294 - Chapter 294 Chapter 294 The Secret of That Year (3)

Chapter 294: Chapter 294: The Secret of That Year (3) Chapter 294: Chapter 294: The Secret of That Year (3) Were there any survivors among the people involved back then?

“Great Grandma, do you have any evidence for this?” Qiaoqiao asked.

“The Chang Family’s butler survived, and he had been investigating the bandits who massacred the entire Chang Family, only to discover that Ning Wanru was acquainted with the bandit leader…”

Qiaoqiao was shocked and blurted out hastily, “Then didn’t you tell Great Grandfather at the time?”

“I had no evidence, and the Chang Family’s butler also told me not to mention it. He just said to quietly observe Ning Wanru and wait for him to find evidence. If it indeed was an inside betrayal that brought external devils, he would definitely seek justice for the wrongful deaths of the Chang Family…”

“But before the old butler could find out, you had your accident, right, Great Grandma? What about that butler, what’s his name, where does he live?”

“I don’t know his name; he had no fixed residence. His family always stayed in his hometown and wasn’t brought back. In ’56, the butler was nearly fifty years old; I don’t know if he’s still alive now?”

By ’56, he was almost fifty, so if he’s still alive now, he would be nearly a hundred years old.

So the possibility of him being alive is very slim.

At this moment, there was a knocking sound at the door, and Aunt Zhao’s voice could be heard, “Mother, the rice porridge is ready, shall I bring it in for you?”

Qiaoqiao hurried to open the door and saw Zhao Yuxiang, taking the bowl of porridge from her hands, and then Zhao Yuxiang entered the room.

Seeing that the old lady looked well, her heart quietly relaxed.

Remembering the old man who stood in the yard leaning on a crutch, staring persistently at this room, Zhao Yuxiang placed the bowl of porridge on the table and asked Lady Yu, “Mother, is that old man your husband?”

“No, I don’t know him!” Lady Yu said angrily.

He had driven his own son away and himself and the child had disappeared, yet he only started looking after three years.

No matter the reason.

It could never be forgiven!

Zhao Yuxiang blinked, noticing that the previously gentle mother seemed like a completely different person.

Her eyes were filled with hatred.

And pain.

Alas…

If she had known it would be this way, it would have been better not to remind her of the past.

But not knowing was not an option either.

Mother had lived too grievously these years.

She had to seek justice for herself.

In the room, Qiaoqiao and a few others had a simple dinner.

Because everyone was preoccupied, nobody had much of an appetite.

After eating, Qiaoqiao didn’t mention to Great Grandma about father’s near mishap today; the old lady had suffered too many shocks already.

She couldn’t add to her burden.

After all, she was there…

She asked Zhao Yuxiang to take care of Great Grandma while she rested. Yet, she was somewhat worried about Gu Qingfeng. She spoke up, “Aunt, I’m going to check on Old Patriarch; you stay with Great Grandma and rest. We need to head back to Border City tomorrow morning.”

“Okay, go ahead, Qiaoqiao, don’t worry, I’m here…” Zhao Yuxiang agreed and continued, “Qiaoqiao, tell Old Patriarch that my mother just can’t think clearly at the moment. Both are of such an age now, and what remains of their years shouldn’t be spent harboring hatred towards each other. Looking forward, not backward, is the most important thing.”

“Yes, Aunt, I’ll relay that to Great Grandfather.”

Qiaoqiao agreed, but hadn’t expected that although Zhao Yuxiang was not highly educated, she was indeed poised and perceptive.

Qiaoqiao left the house.

In the yard, Gu Qingfeng stood there leaning on his cane while Uncle Gu also stood by, frowning deeply.

The food in the yard was untouched.

Apparently, nobody had eaten.

But Qin Yize was nowhere to be seen.

Qiaoqiao walked up, finding Gu Qingfeng both pitiful and detestable at that moment.
