146: Searching for answers
"Shi'er, what did you think of?" Lu Che saw that she began to rummage through the cabinets intently, and stepped forward to ask.
"I have a picture of my mom in my room, I found it from my dad's room, and I think my dad must have a lot of things about her. Wu Chushi rummaged through all the cabinets, and began to lie on the ground to study the bottom of the bed, knocking around looking for the hidden grid, "Since my mother left with my father in order to prevent the two of them from continuing to fight and hurt my uncle, then she must still be worried about this younger brother in her heart." ”
"I think she should leave some letters or something, after all, when she was pregnant with me, Li Wanting was already around her, as a mother, plus a famous daughter like her mother, her mind is natural and delicate, and there is a person around her who is scheming to harm herself, she will probably plan for the worst in her heart. ”
When Lu Che heard this, he understood what she meant, and began to join the search.
The two rummaged through, Wu Chushi finally found a wooden box with exquisite patterns carved from the dark compartment of the bedside table, with a delicate and small lock on it, and Lu Cheming found the key from the windowsill.
Wu Chushi's face was overjoyed, and she took the key to open the box, which was full of photos of Shao Shuiqin, and many of the edges had faded, but the person in the photo still maintained the most moving and clear appearance.
Wu Chushi looked at them one by one, the blurred appearance in her memory became clearer and clearer, she seemed to see that whenever she missed her mother, her father would sit at the head of the bed with these photos and look at it carefully, the lonely figure, the eyes were unconcealable affectionate.
Lu Cheming just stood beside her and accompanied her until Wu Chushi finished reading all the photos and the words written in the back, and the box was already empty, and there was nothing else.
The photo was taken after Shao Shuiqin came from L City, until her stomach showed up little by little, the date was written in June, and the words behind were only written by Shao Shuiqin, and in the next four months of records, there was no response from Wu Zhenghong, and Li Wanting probably began to appear at this time.
Although in every sentence, it is not difficult to hide her love for the unborn child, but Wu Chushi and Lu Cheming saw the heresy at once, and the words written by Shao Shuiqin were different from the expectation and joy at the beginning, and her mood began to change later, and the tone of the words became different.
[June, four months to come, it will be fine]
[In July, the necklace I want to give you has been put to my father, and my mother loves you]
[August, today is moving very much, is the little guy uneasy]
[In September, mom will definitely work hard to greet you with a smile]
In October, there are no photos and no words.
And the photo also changed from the perspective taken by others to herself, the camera changed from her smiling face to a high bulging belly, and in the end, her appearance never appeared in the camera again.
"Shi'er, your conjecture may be right, but she began to worry later, she probably felt that she would not give birth to you so peacefully. Lu Cheming took the wooden box in her hand, such an elegant texture should belong to Shao Shuiqin more than Wu Zhenghong bought it himself to store the photos.
Therefore, since she has already guessed what will happen next, she knows the personality and relationship between her uncle and her father, and after her death, they may fall into even more dire straits, and she must have something to leave for her uncle. Wu Chushi guessed, and her eyes fell on the box.
"Did she live in this room before?" Lu Cheming asked, looking carefully, the box did not have any hidden compartments.
"I'm not sure. After all, no matter in the previous life or this life, she knew very little about Shao Shuiqin, and now she suddenly rushed back to the Wu family, and it was only because Shao Shengcai made her suspicious that she found her mother's photos and messages to learn more about her.
"But...... If I were a father, and my purpose in marrying Li Wanting was just to hide the existence of my wife and daughter, and the person I loved deeply had always been my wife, then I would definitely not let such a woman step into the room where my wife lived. Empathy, Wu Chushi made a conclusion.
"Right thinking. "If he stands in Wu Zhenghong's point of view, with his deep affection for Shao Shuiqin that cannot be expressed in words, he will definitely not allow a woman like Li Wanting to defile his wife's residence.
"Maybe on the first floor, if you climb the stairs with your stomach up, you will inevitably have an accident of stepping on the air and falling, is it possible that my aunt and uncle lived on the first floor?" Lu Cheming guessed, Wu Chushi's eyes flashed, and he looked at him, and the two immediately went down to the first floor.
On the first floor, there is a living room in front of you, a tea room and a utility room on the left, and a kitchen and dining room on the right.
The kitchen and dining room are often visited, and naturally there is no need to explore, so the two of them took the lead in looking for the utility room, which is full of all kinds of clothes and accessories discarded by Li Wanting and Wu Zhiyi, as well as suitcases for traveling, and some idle furniture.
The two of them searched in the room at two ends, but fortunately, someone had recently cleaned it, and there was not much ash, and they still maintained the appearance of sorting and piling up items.
"There is no sign of human habitation here. After piling all the miscellaneous items aside, Lu Cheming looked at the layout of this room, which should have always been used for piling up idle items.
"Let's go to the tea room. Wu Chushi also saw it, and didn't stay any longer, and moved to the tea room.
In the past, in this tea room, you could smell the fragrance of tea as soon as you entered the door, but after all, it has been vacant for five years, and although the layout of the tea room is still the same, the taste and feeling have changed.
Wu Chushi stepped forward, the tea room is Wu Zhenghong's favorite place in addition to the study, perhaps, this is the room of the two of them.
"Shi'er, this painting is a little strange......" Lu Cheming stood behind the tea table, looking at the paintings hanging on the wall, on which were bright colors that did not match the style of the tea room at all.
The tea room is generally simple and concise, and the flowers painted in front of you are unusually bright and eye-catching, or oil paintings, which perfectly show the delicate beauty of the flowers.
But according to Wu Zhenghong's usual style and the layout of the study, this is not like something he likes.
Wu Chushi had hardly stepped into this place, and when Lu Cheming mentioned it at this time, he also noticed the difference in the painting.
Wu Chushi stepped forward and recognized at a glance that the flower in the painting was the same as the necklace left by her mother, the bellflower flower.
"This painting must be my mother's. Wu Chushi tiptoed to take down the painting, Lu Che took a step forward and helped her take the painting down.
Wu Chushi looked at the purple flowers, warmth slipped in her heart, and the two put the painting on the table and looked at it carefully, but after flipping back and forth a few times, this was indeed just an ordinary painting.
"Am I wrong?" Shao Shuiqin didn't leave anything for Shao Shengtian, she probably really didn't expect her life to end so soon.
But the words on the photo have always shown the change in her mood, and Wu Chushi always feels that she knows.
"That's right, Shi'er, here's the answer. Lu Cheming didn't know when he returned to the place where the painting was hung, and when he tapped lightly, there was an empty sound from one part of the wall.
Wu Chushi's eyes lit up, and she immediately stepped forward, only Wu Zhenghong would enter the tea room, she and Li Wanting rarely came in, so many years, the decoration layout of the tea room has not changed, and occasionally the furniture and tea set will be changed.
Hiding things behind the painting, probably Shao Shuiqin knew that Wu Zhenghong must be reluctant to mess with what she left behind, for fear that the traces of her time here would be erased.
If it weren't for these things that happened later, maybe they wouldn't have known in their lives that there were still things that Shao Shuiqin cherished the most.
Lu Cheming took the tools, crossed out the wallpaper, pried the porcelain piece open, and soon revealed a small opening, only the size of a palm.
Lu Cheming took out the small iron box inside, and it was not locked, Wu Chushi took it and opened it, and there were four envelopes lying quietly inside, all with different colors and styles, and different signatures.
The first letter is for Wu Zhenghong, the second letter is for Wu Chushi, and the signature of the third letter: Unknown son-in-law, seeing this, the two of them immediately understood that it was written to Wu Chushi's future husband.
That is, Lu Cheming at this time, when it came to the last letter, it was not surprising that it was given to Shao Shengtian.
Wu Chushi couldn't wait to open it and check the contents inside, but after all, more than 20 years have passed, and the paper has turned yellow, but fortunately, the handwriting is still clear.
Lu Cheming sat beside her, accompanied her, and waited for her to finish reading.
In the end, Wu Chushi's eyes moistened, and the uncomfortable part of her heart made her breathing heavy.
A piece of paper is full of Shao Shuiqin's love and sorrow for her children, she hopes that she will become stronger, but she is worried that she will be wronged, she hopes that she can be good friends with others, and she is worried that she will be deceived by others.
The world is complex, and feelings can be indelible or fleeting.
She wished that someone would be there for her to protect her.
Later, no matter how Wu Zhenghong accompanies her, she can't settle down, women's intuition has always been very accurate, especially looking at a person who does not hide his ambition at all and is a woman.
Wu Chushi's conjecture is right, Shao Shuiqin knows that Li Wanting will definitely try her best to get rid of her and the child, because she wants to ascend to a high position and get Wu Zhenghong, she and the child will become Li Wanting's biggest obstacle.
Shao Shuiqin hopes that these letters will be found, but she is afraid of being found, which hides her words to the people she cares about, as well as her panic and anxiety when she is pregnant with a child, and the worst outcome she guesses.
The fact that these letters can be left only shows that something happened to her, and if she lived, these letters would only be destroyed by her own hands.
Therefore, these letters are equivalent to the existence of last words! A living person, a person who does not have any sickness, is already writing his last words for himself in a clear mind......
As soon as Wu Chushi thought of this, her heart ached unbearably, and she couldn't wait to drag Li Wanting in front of her, so that she could experience all the pain Shao Shuiqin suffered tenfold.
Lu Cheming just hugged her shoulders, and the content of the letter naturally fell into his eyes, they are now parents, and Shao Shuiqin's state of mind at that time, they can completely empathize with it at this time.
"Let's go. Wu Chushi eased her emotions, and didn't check the letter to Shao Shengtian first, but just received the envelope in her bag and left with Lu Cheming.
It's time to let go of obsessions.
