Hearing Xiao Changfeng say this, Su Nianyun was already in tears.
It turns out that Xiao Changfeng had such an experience when he was young.
"So, where did you finally find your mother?"
He must have found his mother's body, because his mother's tablet was enshrined on Lingyun Mountain, but his brother's was not.
When asked about this, Xiao Changfeng's eyes were cold, "I found my mother in the yard where Webster placed her."
"Didn't you say that the house was empty?" Su Nianyun was surprised, "How could she be found there again?"
"Did you bribe that girl to tell you the truth? Your mother wasn't dead at that time?"
"She told me the truth. My mother is really dead, and it was the body that that girl was responsible for burying!"
"What did you say?" Su Nianyun took a deep breath, "She..."
"It's just that I had too little experience at the time and took many detours in my work. In fact, if I were to look at what happened back then..."
Xiao Changfeng sighed heavily, "When Webster went to that yard to burn paper for my mother, I should have thought about it immediately and they buried my mother in that yard!"
"Ah!" Su Nianyun exclaimed, and she covered her mouth tightly, never expecting that such a thing would happen.
"What happened next?" She asked in a low voice, holding back her grief, "Did you report it to the official? No matter what, Webster must be punished!"
"Later I bribed a little beggar and asked him to register for the government on my behalf. At that time, the government also found Webster..."
"What's the result?"
"Wechsler admitted that he knew my mother, but he didn't say anything about my mother's relationship with Xiao Hu. He just said that he felt sorry for my mother and brother, so he helped them settle down."
"She said that my mother was so heartbroken that she died of illness because of the loss of her son. She didn't want to be misunderstood like the government did, so she buried my mother in the hospital."
Su Nianyun's eyes widened in shock, "At that time, was there anyone doing an autopsy on your mother?"
"Yes," Xiao Changfeng nodded, "Wu Zuo later proved that my mother died of illness and was not killed by someone."
With the proof of his actions, the matter was quietly suppressed by Webster.
From beginning to end, Zhao Yuan and her son died, and Xiao Hu didn't know the slightest bit of emotion.
After hearing such a story, Su Nianyun didn't know how to comfort Xiao Changfeng, so she could only hold his hand tightly and try to give him some strength.
"I knew that Webster would collude with the government, so I never exposed myself. Later, I followed the government officials to Yizhuang, stole my mother's body and buried it... and then I found a way to join the army..."
Later, there was Xiao Changfeng, who rescued General Murong during Fan Bang's siege at the age of eighteen, and was made a marquis for his outstanding military exploits in his early twenties.
Then in the middle of the court, there were also two more rivals, the elder and the younger Xiao Hou.
"So, your purpose in joining the army is to attack the Great Xiaohou?"
"Not only that, as I gain more power, my abilities will also increase, so that I can find out the truth about my mother's death and the whereabouts of my brother."
Having said this, Xiao Changfeng and Su Nianyun looked at Xiao Lei, who was unconscious on the bed.
"How did you determine that your brother is still alive and that he is Xiao Lei?"
Su Nianyun asked, "When you desperately saved Xiao Lei in the Mobei Army, did you know that he was your brother at that time?"
"No!" Xiao Changfeng shook his head, "I didn't know it at the time, but I did it just because he was General Zuo, and I didn't want him to lose the first battle and die, which would damage his morale."
"Then, how did you decide that Xiao Lei was your brother?"
"Actually, it was you who reminded me." Xiao Changfeng looked at Su Nianyun gratefully.
"Me?" Su Nianyun was surprised, "I don't know anything about your family, so how can I remind you?"
"You told me that Xiao Lei insisted on asking you to treat his throat, and when he didn't care about life or death..."
At first, Xiao Changfeng only thought that Xiao Lei was unwilling to give up his power and wanted to take back the position of heir apparent from Xiao Guang, so he was so eager.
However, when Su Nianyun later said that Webster was indifferent and full of use to his son, he really became suspicious.
Webster was an extremely selfish man, he admitted.
But no matter how selfish a person is, he cannot treat his son's life as child's play.
Especially people like Wei who were not favored by Xiao Hu. Later, Xiao Hu also had a concubine, Xu Shi, and a concubine, Xiao Guang.
At a time when her status was so threatened by this mother and son, she should be more concerned about the life and death of her biological son.
Because even if the son loses his voice and loses his position as the heir apparent, it is not possible to find a job in the court to provide for him in his old age.
In particular, Xiao Lei only lost his voice, but his martial arts skills are still there. With him, at least he can protect Wei from the Xu mother and son.
But Webster doesn't seem to care about this.
She just thinks that a son who does not have the title of son is not her son...
Even after knowing that Xiao Lei was going to have this life-or-death surgery, he did not object and instead supported it very much.
This is simply not something a normal mother can do.
Combined with Xiao Lei's loss, Xiao Changfeng understood that after he left the Xiao Mansion to join the army, this much-loved eldest son actually only received his father's favor, but never received his mother's love.
Under what circumstances could he not get Webster's love?
The result is self-evident.
But if Xiao Lei is not Wei's son, but he and Xiao Hu's facial features are very similar, this means that Xiao Lei is indeed Xiao Hu's biological son.
It was with these speculations in mind that Xiao Changfeng once again began to investigate from the people around Webster.
Webster was very careful about raising a son who was not her biological son. She only let one person know about this matter.
This person is Webster's wet nurse.
This nanny was old and no longer worked in the Xiao Mansion. Xiao Changfeng followed the clues and found her hometown.
There, he met the nanny who was still going strong even though she was over seventy years old.
When the wet nurse saw Xiao Changfeng, she was tough at first and didn't want to admit anything.
But Xiao Changfeng put the precious long sword of the Mo family on her neck, and the nanny, who was still afraid of death even at her age, finally admitted everything.
It turned out that the child who got sick was not Zhao Yuan's son at all, but Wei's son.
The timing of Zhao Yuan's coming to Beijing not only dealt a blow to Webster, but also gave her hope!
