"Xue Lanfang is my mother-in-law and Zhao Yongcai's cousin."
Zhao Xiaodie has a soft temper, but that doesn't mean she won't hate.
At least she could give Zhao Yongcai a chance, but she could never forgive the murderer who killed her mother!
"His mother said that they had been engaged since childhood. But later Zhao Yongcai became obsessed and insisted on marrying me, but Xue Lanfang wanted to be Zhao Yongcai's concubine."
"I don't have much contact with her, but she is not a very nice person."
Zhao Xiaodie was still too kind. Aunt Fang asked again and again. She just said that Xue Lanfang and Zhao Yongcai's mother had a very good relationship. ??
Moreover, Xue Lanfang appeared to be docile and well-behaved on the surface, but in fact, she often found opportunities to boss her and her mother around behind the scenes. When Zhao Yongcai came back, he deliberately created a scene where the two of them got along harmoniously and ambiguously to embarrass Zhao Xiaodie.
Lin Mengya summed it up, isn't this the green tea bitch?
It's a pity that Zhao Xiaodie believed Yong Cainiang and Xue Lanfang's words and lived in Zhao's house fearfully, even taking care of them in the cold winter months.
It's really pitiful and sad.
"Then does Xue Lanfang have any grudges with anyone besides you?" Aunt Fang asked.
Zhao Xiaodie tilted her head and thought carefully for a while before speaking.
"After Xue Lanfang came, she often walked around with her neighbors. But when the weather got cold, she didn't go out much."
So, is Zhao Xiaodie really the most suspect?
Aunt Fang looked at Lin Mengya, but she was thinking of something else.
"Regarding this Xue Lanfang, do you know her parents?"
Zhao Xiaodie still answered Lin Mengya's questions obediently.
"I don't know her, but I heard that her parents are not in the same place as her. She grew up with her grandfather."
Fang Rao knew that Lin Mengya would not take the target lightly.
After asking Zhao Xiaodie a few more questions, the two left, but their moods were a little complicated.
"You just asked her if she knew Xue Lanfang's parents - what do you know?"
Lin Mengya sighed and glanced at the small courtyard behind her.
"They will choose, but I'm afraid it won't be so easy for Zhao Xiaodie to clear herself of this charge."
Aunt Fang became a little anxious when she heard this.
But she still didn't forget to lower her voice and ask, "What's going on? You and I both know that Xiaodie couldn't have done this!"
"We believe it is useless. The most important thing is that she is too suitable to take the blame. Both she and her mother have a grudge against Xue Lanfang's family."
"Aunt Fang, do you know who Zhao Yongcai's uncle is?"
Aunt Fang looked at her doubtfully, and after a moment she suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"Could it be——"
"Yes, Zhao Yongcai's uncle is Zhao Xiaojie's biological father! And Zhao Xiaodie's The day after her mother was divorced, her biological father married Zhao Yongcai's aunt.
I have examined the body of Xiaodie's mother before, and I can probably understand why she refused to let me operate.
In short, Zhao Xiaodie and her daughter have made things miserable for this mother and daughter."
In order to determine the cause of death of Xiaodie's mother, she only conducted the test after seeking Zhao Xiaodie's consent.
But the result still made her a little moved.
This poor mother was thin and shriveled, and her malnutrition was even more serious than that of Zhao Xiaodie.
But what was most difficult for her to talk about was the sequelae of childbirth.
Probably because of the lack of experience in giving birth, or because there was no Wen woman to deliver the baby, and the postpartum care was not ideal, Xiaodie's mother had been suffering from incontinence for many years.
Judging from the marks on her body, this problem must have been bothering her for many years, and Zhao Xiaodie's mother must have used many methods, some of which were even cruel.
Even so, she still raised Zhao Xiaodie with difficulty and watched her get married and have children, but she did not survive this cold winter.
After Lin Mengya read it, he was nothing
She could finally understand why Xiaodie Niang refused to agree. It turned out that those words were the cruel experience she summed up from her own tragic experience.
Zhao Xiaodie's biological father must have used this as a reason to abandon their mother and daughter.
And how similar is the situation Zhao Xiaodie is facing now to what her mother encountered back then?
It's just that she has a mother who protects her with her life, and her mother can only silently bear all the malice in the world.
Lin Mengya knew very well that the deeper she understood, the less likely she was to stand by and watch.
What's more, the other party just wants to drag her into it, right?
"Oh my god, this is so bullying!"
Aunt Fang gritted her teeth. Just hearing this made her so angry that she wanted to beat the couple to death.
"So, no matter what is going on with Xue Lanfang, I can only say that they are very lucky. This is almost giving Zhao Xiaodie's handle to them. Even if Zhao Xiaodie doesn't admit it, so what?
But who will believe her?"
Yes.
Aunt Fang also had to admit that even if it were her who came to see this matter, she would probably think that it was Zhao Xiaodie who did it.
"No! Even if there is hatred between the two of them, I believe Zhao Xiaodie would not do this! She must have been framed, and I have to find evidence to prove her innocence!"
Lin Mengya thought so too, but she felt that the second elder of the Zhao family
Given just one night, where could they find evidence?
Although she knew it might be in vain, Aunt Fang still went to find Zhao Yongcai's mother and Yongcai's neighbors to find out the situation.
Zhao Yongcai's mother was quite depressed. It was said that after her head came back, although he did not beat her, he strictly prohibited her from stepping out of the house again.
Even though she was not a good mother-in-law, she was quite fond of Xue Lanfang and even asked Aunt Fang about her situation.
Of course Aunt Fang couldn't tell the truth, but she also learned nothing.
Even Zhao Yongcai's mother didn't know when Xue Lanfang, a living person, disappeared.
It is said that she disappeared early in the morning when she was waking people up for dinner. She probably disappeared the night before.
Therefore, Zhao Yongcai's mother suspected that he might not have been abducted by traffickers.
However, Lin Mengya scoffed.
Even if a human trafficker wants to kidnap someone, they probably won't climb over the wall to steal someone.
Moreover, Zhao Yongcai was also at home at that time, and so were her neighbors. Even if someone came in and wanted to harm her, as long as she made some noise, everyone would definitely hear it.
Xue Lanfang sneaked out on her own.
Maybe, she still went with him voluntarily!
With this discovery, Lin Mengya ordered people to investigate Xue Lanfang's comings and goings in and out of the city for the past few days since she had been missing.
Especially those with unfamiliar faces, are they related to the Zhao family?
The town is so big and there are not many people. If an acquaintance really committed the crime, the neighbors would not have any clues about it.
Not to mention, in just one night, she really wanted to find out something.
"Master, the people we sent to follow up reported that a few strangers dressed as salesmen were wandering around Zhao Yongcai's house a few days ago.
It's just that they just came to inquire about information and did not do anything else out of the ordinary.
And one of them even had a few words with Xue Lanfang. Unfortunately, our people were afraid of alerting others and did not get close to listen to what they said."
The news brought by Cairu became the key clue for Lin Mengya to solve the mystery.
The stranger salesman once had contact with Xue Lanfang, and it was just a few days after Xue Lanfang disappeared.
These things are too coincidental.
"Have you continued to trace the whereabouts of those people?" she asked.
Cairu replied, "I followed you as you said, but those people are very alert. Now I only know that they must have been ordered by others, but I don't know who the master behind them is."
Xue Lanfang's victimization was exposed by the Pei family, and it was also the reason for the Pei family to attack the Zhao family.
Lin Mengya suddenly realized at this time that the Pei family's layout had already begun at that time. .
Furthermore, according to the age of ancient women, Xue Lanfang can be considered an adult.
How could such a person be so wild-minded and secretly run away with a strange man?
Maybe the Pei family is causing trouble here!
But why did the Pei family do this?
This was the problem that really puzzled her. It seemed that she could only find out if she waited for the Pei family to take action again.
After running around all night, at least Lin Mengya and Fang Rao couldn't sleep well.
At dawn the next day, the two elders of the Zhao family blocked the door.
This time, they brought people.
It seems that if Aunt Fang doesn't hand over anyone, they will just break in and arrest her.
Will Aunt Fang give in?
of course not!
She has a stubborn temper to begin with, and over the years, she has been looked down upon by these two old guys in the Zhao family.
At the moment, she has no taboos against the Zhao family. At worst, she will fight head-on. She doesn't believe that she can let those two old guys dominate here?
The two old men of the Zhao family almost fainted from her anger.
He pointed at her face and cursed her with many unpleasant words.
However, Aunt Fang just doesn't have enough food and salt, and refuses to hand over anyone even to death.
In the end, she said very forcefully, if the Pei family wants to be the master of this family, then they must send the person here personally, and she, Fang Rao, must find out everything clearly.
Making friends? Don’t even think about it!
The expressions of the two old men of the Zhao family also darkened.
They had known that this shrew would not be so obedient, so they came prepared.
"Hmph! Fang Rao, you contradict your elders like this, do you still have the Zhao family's family law in your heart?"
Mr. Zhao asked in a conspiratorial manner.
Fang Rao also took off his fake smile mask.
"I'm afraid you two know better than me how I came to the Zhao family in the first place. How much do you think I want to be your Zhao family's wife?"
The implication is that the Zhao family is nothing in her eyes!
"Okay, okay! Since you are so arrogant and rebellious, then get out of the Zhao family!"
Second Master Zhao had a gloomy face, took out a thin letter from his sleeve, and threw it directly in front of Fang Rao.
"Letter of divorce?"
Fang Rao's eyes widened, "Zhao Yixuan hasn't come back yet, where did you get the divorce letter from?"
Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhao Er said with a smile, "I wrote this on his behalf. You are arrogant, disrespectful to your elders, and disrespectful to the clan! You have also been jealous for many years and have nothing to do. The Zhao family has long wanted such a woman."
Divorce you!
Take your divorce letter and get out of the Zhao family!"
