Since their arrival in the Province, they could no longer feign ignorance about the forgotten matters.
But… When did Big Sister stop mentioning Grandpa’s family?
Suddenly, Su Xue recalled that it had been quite some time since Big Sister brought it up.
Confronted by Su Xue’s astonished gaze, Su Wen discerned that this young girl differed from Su Qing and Su Xiu. She held grudges, and once she held them, she would surely seek revenge.
No matter the pa.s.sage of years.
She loved this trait.
Despite her mother’s absence, she couldn’t disregard the grievances that warranted remembrance. In ancient lore, grudges extended across nine generations! She wasn’t a saint. While holding onto grudges was one thing, acting recklessly in vengeance was another.
She must not be drawn into the mire.
However, when Su Xue regarded her with a surprised and probing gaze, it wasn’t ideal. Fortunately, she was prepared. Since encountering Liu Juan and Liang Shuzhen, she had kept this matter in mind. She had also probed Su Qing for information.
In the course of this investigation, she found a photo alb.u.m concealed in an old cabinet crevice. It contained numerous images of Liu Mingxuan during her youth in the Province.
The outcome was evident, confirming all her prior conjectures.
“What is your intention?” Su Wen pivoted and settled on the vanity, arms crossed, observing Su Xue. “Are you seeking revenge?”
“Of course,” Su Xue responded without hesitation. “My mother wasn’t the one who went to the countryside. She was manipulated by Liu Juan and thrust into the role to replace her. Yet, Grandpa’s family was shielding Liu Juan. They were aware of Mom’s frail health since childhood; she couldn’t endure hardships at all. ..
“Enough,” Su Wen interjected, halting further discourse. She didn’t wish to entertain it. “Do you truly believe that’s why Mom perished?”
“What?” Su Xue faltered, trembling, her complexion drained. “Are you accusing Little sister?”
“Not,” Su Wen swiftly disavowed. How could she blame her younger sister? She was innocent. Over her extended sojourn through transmigration, as she gained insights, she realized Liu Mingxuan’s tragic existence.
She had numerous dutiful daughters and a responsible, breadwinning husband. Why did she meet such misfortune?
Was Liu Juan culpable?
Logically, Liu Juan bore responsibility, but Liu Mingxuan bore greater blame.
“Mom replaced Liu Juan in the countryside wasn’t solely due to Liu Juan, but also because Mom was excessively nice, too feeble, and easily swayed. If she resisted to the end, who would have dared to conspire against her? Who could have?”
Su Xue’s countenance soured under Su Wen’s interrogation.
“You understand, don’t you? Mom could have complained and secured an urban posting as an educated youth, but she refrained. She quietly acquiesced.” Su Wen chuckled ruefully. “Thankfully, she ventured to the countryside.
Otherwise, how would she have had the opportunity to wed our father?”
Once Su Wen comprehended, she could only pity Su Xuewen, not Liu Mingxuan!
This woman evoked both love and ire. Her fragility bordered on madness.
Yet, that wasn’t her chief grievance. What she hated the most was what she did after her marriage to Su Xuewen.
“Mom was frail. The fundamental reason for her death from dystocia was the burden of bearing too many children consecutively. ” Su Wen had long held these words in her heart but had never shared them with anyone else.
For Su Qing and Su Xiu, these matters remained unspoken.. Those two
harboured their insights!
