"Ninety-eight." Ni Yuanming said, "I thought he could live over a hundred years old."
"I have lived a long life." Yun Qiao said.
Ni Yuanming asked her again how she was in Yancheng and whether the Xi family bullied her.
Yun Qiao said no.
"...Has the matter been cleared up?" Ni Yuanming asked her again.
Yun Qiao nodded: "That's almost it."
"What is the truth?"
"The fourth wife of the Xi family is not Du Xiaoqin, but Du Xueru." Yun Qiao said.
Ni Yuanming: "...What about Du Xiaoqin?"
"I'm considering whether to arrest Du Xueru and interrogate her. She should know." Yun Qiao said, "But there is something particularly strange."
"What's weird?"
"They are the children of the fourth room of the Xi family." Yun Qiao said, "The fourth wife has three sons in total, and they are all biological. But they are not from the same mother."
Ni Yuanming: "..."
"So I haven't moved for the time being. I suspect that the Xi family knows about this and is cooperating with the transfer. Du Xiaoqin is definitely not dead. If she were, grandma wouldn't let me go find her.
But grandma doesn't know where she is. If Du Xueru still has accomplices, if I catch her now, the accomplices will definitely kill Du Xiaoqin and silence her," Yun Qiao said.
Ni Yuanming frowned: "What did A Ping say?"
A Ping in his mouth is Qian Changping.
"We only talked once. Uncle Qian also felt that Du Xiaoqin was trapped by others, so grandma asked me to go to Xi's house. If Du Xiaoqin could move freely, grandma would not care about her." Yun Qiao said, "Nothing.
Dear daughter, the two sisters ran away on their own back then, and grandma was already extremely disappointed in them."
Ni Yuanming: "..."
He looked at Yun Qiao cautiously.
Yun Qiao understood what he meant.
She sighed: "I can't change my background. There's nothing I can do when I encounter such a terrible mother. Try to save her as much as possible."
In fact, grandma has always loved Du Xiaoqin.
Of the twin sisters, Grandma only wanted Du Xiaoqin, not Du Xueru.
This caused Du Xueru to be extreme and mean since she was a child.
Just imagine, two twin sisters, the younger sister grew up with her mother who was a servant, but the older sister is the apple of the mistress's eye, no matter who they are, their mentality will collapse.
As for why grandma only chose one person to be her adopted daughter, Yun Qiao didn't know.
When she was dying, grandma still said: "I can't let go of your mother."
The adopted daughter was unfilial. She had been away from home for more than ten years and had no news. Her grandmother still missed her.
Yun Qiao had also guessed that Du Xiaoqin had a falling out with her grandmother and ran away from home with her sister Du Xueru. The matter of Yun Qiao's biological father might be involved.
The death of Yun Qiao's biological father should be the reason for the breakup between grandma and Du Xiaoqin.
Yun Qiao didn't ask why.
She still doesn't know who her father is or what her last name is. Her name has been Yun Qiao since she was a child, and she doesn't mind if people call her "Miss Yun" when she goes out.
She has no last name.
Grandma seemed to think it didn't matter and didn't give Yun Qiao a surname.
Du Xiaoqin was a spoiled child, and her grandmother doted on her and taught her the same way as a rich daughter. This is why Du Xiaoqin went to Yancheng and revealed that she could still marry into the Xi family if she had a daughter.
The old lady of the Xi family is not a rag collector. How can the old lady of the Xi family like a woman of unknown origin and no skills?
Although the marriages of the concubines of the Xi family are not ideal, the wives' natal families are pure and clean, and their ancestors can count their origins for three generations.
Du Xiaoqin’s identity remains a mystery.
She relied on her beauty and her own education to convince the old lady of the Xi family to marry the fourth master of the Xi family. Therefore, the fourth wife of the Xi family was definitely Du Xiaoqin at the beginning.
Du Xueru doesn't have this ability.
Brothers Xi Wenqing and Xi Wenzhan are also Du Xiaoqin's sons.
As for why Du Xueru later became Du Xueru, and Du Xueru also gave birth to a younger son, Xi Wenluo, Yun Qiao didn't understand. Who was doing the trick in the middle?
