Chapter Fifty-Eight: There Is Another Secret
Aunt Bao is a native of Nanping.She was originally the daughter of the servant of the Qiu family.When she grew up, she naturally stayed in the Qiu family to do things.She was a few years older than Qiujing.The two girls almost grew up together.
When she learned that Qiujing had to marry alone to Zhonghai for the sake of the family's future, Aunt Bao, who had just been married, also persuaded her husband to go to Zhonghai with him.
It can be said that she is the best person in the world for Qiu Jing, and she has been treating Diao Ranran like her own daughter for many years.
So, when Aunt Bao received a call from Diao Ranran, she said that she wanted to have afternoon tea with her, she was very happy, she wore a cheongsam and high heels, and tied up her hair, and happily came to the appointment.
"Aunt Bao, you look so good dressed like this, you seem to be ten years younger, anyway, I don't live at home now, you don't need to be busy all day, enjoy life with your uncle."
Diao Ranran smiled and looked at Aunt Bao, and praised her mouth.
Aunt Bao showed a girlish shy smile, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "When you and my mother were young, we both liked to wear cheongsam. The two of us got together, and discussed with the tailor at home to change the neckline, and then change the slit.
Although she has been away from Nanping for many years, she still speaks a standard and beautiful Nanping dialect, which is very soft and glutinous.
The two of them ordered a pot of tea and tasted it slowly.
"Aunt Bao, actually, I asked you out today to talk to you about my mother."
After hesitation, Diao Ranran still asked.
In fact, she wanted to ask for a long time, but unfortunately she didn't have time, as soon as she got busy, this matter was put on hold, until today, she accidentally met Fang Wanqiu's woman, and all the doubts in her heart were stirred up by her again, and she couldn't suppress it anymore.
Aunt Bao is holding a teacup and bowing her head to drink.
I don't know if it's an illusion.Diao Ranran always felt that just when she just said this, Aunt Bao's hand seemed to shake slightly.
Sure enough, Aunt Bao immediately put down the cup, and her expression suddenly became a little strange.
"Ranran, you kid, why did you suddenly say something like this, I, I ...... I almost spilled all the tea......"
She looked at Diao Ranran, who was sitting opposite, rather embarrassed, with a hint of unnaturalness in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Bao, I know, I shifted the conversation too quickly, but ...... I dreamed of my mom last night, she looked very sad, very unhappy, kept sighing at me, I asked her what was wrong, she didn't speak, she kept stroking her fingers with a ring on her hand......"
Diao Ranran whispered while quietly looking at Aunt Bao's expression.
She was visibly stunned, especially when she heard her say the word "ring."
"The ring.
Aunt Bao unconsciously leaned over her upper body, raised her hand again, and gestured at her.
Diao Ranran shook his head, looked at her in confusion, and replied word by word, "I didn't see it very clearly, but I'm sure I hadn't seen it before, and I didn't have that ring in the jewelry box that my mother left behind."
Aunt Bao suddenly showed a breathless suffocating expression, she covered her heart with two hands, and inhaled again and again.
"Aunt Bao, Aunt Bao, what's wrong with you."
Diao Ranran was frightened.Aunt Bao's health has always been very good.Every year, she will go for a full body physical examination on time.She has never been diagnosed with any cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.But her current demeanor and expression are as if she had a heart attack.
"It's okay, it's okay...... I'm fine...... Just sit for a while."
She forced a smile and waved her hand at Diao Ranran, saying that it was okay.
But her reaction had betrayed her.No matter what.Diao Ranran wouldn't believe that she really didn't know anything.What's more.Fang Wanqiu also said.The day she went to Diao's house.The Diao family's servant was at home.That is, Aunt Bao.She was also a witness to that incident.
"I don't know what she wants to say to me, but since I woke up, I've been thinking, Aunt Bao, you said that my mother gave birth to me at such a young age, did she regret it?"
Diao Ranran sighed.She thought.According to Qiujing's dislike for Diao Chengxi.If it weren't for the fact that she was worried that the child would suffer with her stepmother in the future.If she said anything, she wouldn't continue to live with him.She would have filed for divorce by agreement.
As soon as she heard this, Aunt Bao was shocked and hurriedly said: "Why do you think so.You|Mom has too many things to regret in this life.But she only doesn't regret giving birth to you.When you were young.How many times did she hold you with her own hands.Bathe you.Change diapers.Never let me help.You must do this yourself.Ranran.You can doubt this.Doubt that.But I can't doubt you|Mom......"
She said as she pulled out her handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.
It can be seen that Diao Ranran's question just now made her feel very hurt and felt very aggrieved for Qiu Jing.
Seeing Aunt Bao like this, Diao Ranran also felt extremely guilty, she hurriedly held her hand, comforted: "Aunt Bao, I didn't mean that, I am now grown up, and I am married, and I can more or less understand that it is not easy to be a wife, so I thought.If there is no child, my mother's life will be much more exciting.She was too young when she died.I feel uncomfortable thinking about it."
Aunt Bao nodded, her voice choked.
It took her a few minutes to regain her composure, and her crying eyes looked red and slightly cloudy.
Diao Ranran couldn't bear it, but for her, it was more important to figure out the truth.
So, she had to keep searching.
"Aunt Bao, what kind of disease is my mother, can't it be cured, even if it is really an incurable disease, at least it will not be impossible to drag on for a few years."
Diao Ranran thought about what Fang Wanqiu said, she suspected that Qiu Jing's death had another hidden meaning, that is, she actually suspected that she died unnaturally, that is, suicide, or murder.
Could it be that after Diao Chengxi found out that he was having an affair with other men, Qiujing chose to commit suicide, but why did she endure it for more than half a year before she did it?
"She walked in a hurry, from the beginning of feeling uncomfortable, to the death, only a few months, during that time, your father barely came home, although I don't understand the affairs of their husband and wife, but I also vaguely felt, your father is afraid that there is someone outside, she doesn't say anything, but I know, she is still uncomfortable, heart disease is the most difficult to treat, maybe it's because of this ......"
Aunt Bao couldn't help crying.When she came to Zhonghai, it was all for the autumn realm.But I didn't expect that she would die in her thirties.If it weren't for the distress that Diao Ranran had become a motherless child.She really wanted to go back to Nanping's hometown with her husband and children.
If Qiujing is sad because Diao Chengxi has a woman outside, and dies depressed, Diao Ranran doesn't believe it at all, she doesn't love him at all, and she won't be sad for his change of heart.
"Aunt Bao, the day my mother had a heart attack, was she at home or in the hospital, did she see anyone before she left, did she eat anything?"
Diao Ranran grabbed Aunt Bao's hand, who was a little stunned by the few questions she suddenly asked.
"Ranran, why do you ask about these things, it's been so many years, ...... you?"
Aunt Bao was a little flustered, her heart was confused, looking at the child in front of her, who she had brought up, and suddenly felt that she was very strange, and she didn't know what she was going to do when she inquired about old things.
"Aunt Bao, I know that you are really good for my mother, really good for me, so I tell you the truth, I suspect that my mother did not die of a heart attack, I suspect that she is...... Someone killed or forced to die."
Diao Ranran bit her lip, and in an instant, she was also in tears.
If Qiu Jing was really killed, then the person who was most likely to succeed and the most reason to kill her was none other than her husband, her father, Diao Chengxi.
Whatever the truth was, whether she guessed right or not, it became a thorn in her heart.
Aunt Bao was so frightened that she retracted her hand, and looked at Diao Ranran with a pale face, almost speechless.
"You child, how can you say that, who killed her, who killed her, she barely left the house in her last days, only me and my husband took care of her at home every day, how could she, how could she ......?"
Aunt Bao trembled and said incoherently, with a look of horror on her face, and her eyes stared at Diao Ranran in disbelief.
Diao Ranran pulled two tissues, wiped the tears off his face, and sobbed to stop crying.
"I don't know, I don't have proof, but I know that if a woman has a man she likes, if she has a daughter who hasn't grown up, she will never die lightly, even if she is really sick, can't she even delay it for a few years, how can she say that she will die when she dies, it only took a few months, and Aunt Bao, don't you also know, she has a beloved man who can't stay together......
She decided to just stab the window paper, anyway, Aunt Bao knew everything, she must know the man, she knew who he was.
Aunt Bao was shocked, opened her mouth, she never thought that Diao Ranran actually knew about this.
"Aunt Bao, tell me, who is that man, and where is he now?"
Diao Ranran was excited for a while, and couldn't help but stand up
