Chapter 4276 Several people are missing

Seeing the shocked look on her daughter's face, Mrs. Xia couldn't help but sigh secretly. She had neglected her education all these years because she wanted to make her daughter's life more comfortable.

But in fact, Xia Wuyao is not stupid, and she is not that silly and sweet. It is just because she forgot to hide her true thoughts in front of her mother.

After the shock, Xia Wuyao suddenly seemed to think of something, but she just opened her mouth slightly and never said anything out.

She wanted to ask her mother if she did this because she was wary of her father.

The more she thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed to her. In fact, she had seen clearly over the years that the reason why her father had reached his current position was closely related to her mother.

Not to mention the care given to my father by my grandparents and their family, it should be noted that most of the generous dowry brought by my mother became the cornerstone for my father to climb up the ladder.

Although her father always loved her and seemed to love her very much, she was always sober. In fact, her father always wanted a boy to inherit the family business.

It's just that my mother couldn't reproduce due to health reasons or other reasons, so my father moved his concubines into one room after another at home.

With a mother's methods, it is naturally impossible to let a child born by another woman pick the peaches.

Therefore, no child other than her was born in her father's backyard.

Until Aunt Zhao entered the house.

Aunt Zhao was carried to the house by her father while she was pregnant.

In other words, the father was always on guard against the mother's actions and hid the person outside until he was sure he was pregnant, then he brought the person in.

I originally thought that this woman, like the other women before her, would never be able to give birth to a child.

But unexpectedly, my father and mother had a big fight the night when Aunt Zhao came into the house. After that, my father never entered my mother's yard again.

The mother kept claiming that she was sick, and later took her confidant, Mother Wu, to Qinglian Zen Monastery for retreat.

She originally wanted to come with her mother, but her father repeatedly tried to persuade her to stay.

He also said that he would announce something very important at his birthday party and hoped that she could stay.

That was probably Xia Wuyao's last expectation for her father. She felt that at least her father should not have such a tense relationship with her mother because of a concubine.

And she thought that since her father insisted on keeping her, it meant that at the birthday party, his father would most likely announce something beneficial to her.

But she didn't expect that before the banquet, she overheard her father telling others that this time at the banquet, he would announce that he would give birth to Aunt Zhao.

After the child is born, the other person will be raised as a concubine.

Is this what my father wants to announce?

From that moment on, she realized deeply that the father-daughter relationship between herself and her father for more than ten years had fallen apart and would never be the same again.

So she took action to teach Aunt Zhao's nephew a lesson, and then quietly left the banquet when her father sent people to look for her.

Her attitude has been very clear. She will always stand by her mother's side no matter where she is.

If her father insists on doing this, she will leave with her mother.

After returning to his thoughts, Xia Wuyao also heard the conversation between Miss Huo and her mother, and then her mind was drawn towards it.

When Lin Mengya heard this, her mind moved slightly.

"So, did Madam realize that something happened in Qinglian Temple that you didn't want to see, so she personally guarded it here?"

Now that everyone had opened the window and spoken out, she had nothing to hide, so she asked directly.

Although Madam Xia's eyes were still sharp, they were not directed at Lin Mengya.

She tapped her hand on the table and then said in a leisurely voice: "Most of the baby girls adopted by Qinglian Chanyuan have entered the property under my name."

"But starting from about three years ago, there have been several occasions when the parents of the baby girls learned that the baby girl was not dead and was born very beautiful, and they came to the Zen monastery to beg for help."

"After discussing with the abbot of the monastery, I decided to follow their own opinions, but if they want to go down the mountain, they have to ask their parents to give some silver to compensate the monastery."

"The first few families did it, and then some people probably followed suit, thinking that they could get a good girl back by spending dozens of taels of silver. They thought this deal was a good deal, so they decided

Several people came to pretend to claim it."

"Afterwards, I had people secretly teach these families a lesson to stop this bad trend, but since then I have discovered that several girls always disappear during the year."

"I thought they couldn't bear to express their gratitude and were coaxed by their family members to escape. However, after they came down the mountain, it was as if they had completely disappeared, and no trace could be found at all."

These words made Lin Mengya and Xia Wuyao feel a little heavy in their hearts.

Regardless of the purpose, since Mrs. Xia adopted these abandoned babies, it is always a meritorious deed.

But after that, those families who had abandoned their children felt that the children had been raised by others, and that they were well-educated and could enjoy happiness directly after getting them back, so they licked their faces to acknowledge their relatives.

In fact, Lin Mengya knew what would happen to these girls after they returned to their families. Either they were used as food.

Squeeze out all the nutrients you have to support the family, or be sold by your parents at various prices.

When they were still little babies, they were abandoned for various reasons, and no one even came to see them for more than ten years after that. Do they really regret it?

Lin Mengya felt that there were no such people, but they were too few, maybe not even one in ten thousand, right?

After Madam Xia finished speaking these words, the atmosphere became silent. After thinking for a moment, Lin Mengya asked: "According to Madam, the disappearance of these people may not have anything to do with their families. Could it be that Qinglian Temple itself

Something went wrong?"

Mrs. Xia curled her fingers and rubbed her forehead. ??

"At the beginning, I thought those people were greedy for profit, and they kidnapped people from the mountain and sold them directly. But later I discovered that several of them actually had fake identities."

"After my people caught them and interrogated them, they learned that these families were hired by others with money. Their purpose was to deceive the girls from the mountains. As for where they were sent, they didn't know.

I don’t know, it’s said that someone took over directly.”

"But when I followed the clues and investigated them, after all the clues were cut off, this kind of situation did not happen again, but -"

Mrs. Xia suddenly paused when she said this.

Lin Mengya and Xia Wuyao both looked at each other in confusion, and saw Mrs. Xia looking at her daughter with a little melancholy.

Lin Mengya immediately realized that the biggest difference between her and Xia Wuyao was that she was a married woman, while Xia Wuyao was obviously a blank slate.

What Mrs. Xia is going to say next will definitely not sound so nice, so she will definitely hesitate in front of her daughter Xia Wuyao.

But Lin Mengya felt that since Xia Wuyao had already gotten involved, she should listen together. What if she was harmed because of it?

"Mrs. Xia, I think Miss Xia has grown up, and you don't have to hide some things from her."

Xia Wuyao also looked at her mother and asked with an earnest look: "Mother, what happens next? What happened next? Did you find anything?"

Mrs. Xia really has no

Extremely helpless.

So she could only hold back her shame and said: "Later, Mother Wu accidentally met a young master from the temple on the street. The man actually bought medicine for abortion."

"There are no men in the monastery. Even if some girls choose to start a family, they all get married from the monastery openly. How can they take such harmful medicine? After that, I asked Mother Wu to keep an eye on the person. Sure enough,

I saw that man returning to the Zen monastery."

"Later, in the middle of the night, we caught a little girl coming out of the back door to bury her bloody clothes."

"It's a pity that the child is mute. No matter how we ask, she can't say anything. I wanted to take the child with me to find people in the monastery, but the child ran away. After that, no matter how I looked

, and the child was not found.”

"That's true. From then on, I gradually realized that something must have happened in Qinglian Temple that I don't know about."

But what Mrs. Xia didn't say was that this Zen monastery was a retreat she had reserved for herself and her children.

Now that her retreat has been messed up, how can she let him go?

So she took advantage of the quarrel with her husband, pretended that she was ill, and brought Wu's mother here to investigate the matter.

But what she didn't expect was that everything she had worked so hard for was now being used as a wedding dress for someone else.

This place seemed to be a monolith, with one mouth above and below, and she couldn't get even the slightest bit of information out of it.

She was also afraid that if she did it too obviously, she might alert the enemy. If the other party completely shrank, she wouldn't be able to find a place to start.

Unexpectedly, her daughter ran over at this moment. She didn't want those people to hurt her daughter, so she kept deliberately covering up.

When Lin Mengya heard Mrs. Xia's words, she had already pieced together the truth.

As she saw, Qinglian Temple was full of beautiful women, and it was quiet here. If something really happened, no one else would know as long as the people in the temple didn't tell.

This is also true. Even Mrs. Xia, the real owner, is kept in the dark, isn't it?

"Mrs. Xia, I really can't figure out why President Xia wants people to surround this place so tightly?"

But what Lin Mengya didn't expect was that Mrs. Xia's expression changed.

"Of course it's because something happened to his sweetheart. Ha! Does he think that by trapping me here, the child in that bitch's belly can be born safely?"

There was a bone-chilling chill in Mrs. Xia's tone.
