Unable to ignore the complicated emotions that rose in her heart, Su Qian could only look at Dongfang Ruyan. Her cold and sharp gaze seemed to be able to pierce through her. “Miss Dongfang, this is particularly especially important to me. If you use this matter to joke with me, I guarantee that you’ll have a gruesome death.”
“It seems that your misunderstanding of me won’t resolve in a short time.” Dongfang Ruyan sighed and used a handkerchief to wipe away the tears at the corner of her eyes. “Qianqian, your mother is my best friend. I’m even willing to sacrifice my life for her. How could I joke about her? To tell you the truth, I often dream of your mother. She cries to me in my dreams and asks me to take good care of you…”
“So you don’t have any evidence to prove that my mother is still alive?” Su Qian asked directly.
Shen Duoyi pursed his lips and said, “No. We were too late, and we didn’t even see Qingxue’s body.”
“It’s not just us. Other
than the Su family, no one else has seen Xue’er’s body. Su Chenghua did something unscrupulous. Xue’er died at night, and he hastily buried her. Even your grandparents didn’t see her for the last time.” Dongfang Ruyan was speechless. She took a deep breath and adjusted her breathing before continuing, “Qianqian, my suspicions aren’t baseless. Back then, your mother was so powerful that everyone was shocked when she married your father. Then, she died tragically. It’s even more strange.”
Su Qian fell into deep thought when she heard this.
She had indeed heard from many people that her mother, Nangong Qingxue, was a very special woman. She yearned for freedom and was unrestrained. Her strength was even more outstanding among the younger generation. Coupled with her extremely beautiful appearance, all the young men in the martial world, regardless of their power, fell for her. Some even become her confidants.
However, despite numerous suitors, she chose Su Chenghua. In just three days, she had married him and loved him wholeheartedly. She even severed ties with her natal family to be with him.
This matter had caused a sensation in the entire Fire Cloud at that time. Everyone said that Su Chenghua of the Su family had burned high incense in his previous life to get such a wife.
As it turned out, the Su family had also skyrocketed thanks to her mother.
Su Qian had no recollection of Nangong Qingxue’s death, and there were very few people around her who knew Nangong Qingxue. Every time she went to the Nangong family, she couldn’t bear to mention it, afraid that she would make her family sad.
Now, Dongfang Ruyan suddenly brought up these details. After careful consideration, it was indeed full of loopholes. There were too many things that she couldn’t figure out.
Shen Duoyi saw that Su Qian didn’t speak for a long time, and he hurriedly said, “Miss Su, don’t take my wife’s words to heart. She, she just missed Qingxue too much, so she did it on a whim…”
“I’ve said it before. If Eldest Miss Dongfang jokes with me about this, I’ll make sure that you and your wife, as well as the Dongfang family, die a gruesome death.” Su Qian glared at Dongfang Ruyan. “Eldest Miss Dongfang, this matter is particularly important to me. If you change your stance now, I can let it go.”
“I don’t know what happened back then either. I also lack the truth..”
