Chapter 220 Wang Yidao's Secret

"Sister, it's my eldest cousin!" Yu Qiuer pulled Yu Chuner's sleeve and said in a low voice.

Yu Chuner nodded and retreated calmly.

Yu Qiuer realized what her sister meant and also stepped back.

"Eat first, and then go back and tell my uncle." Yu Chun'er whispered, with no intention of going down to save people.

When my uncle's family abandoned my grandmother and the second and third wives, they were already strangers in my heart.

Wang Xueer also remembered the person who was being beaten downstairs—Yu Zishu.

The darling of the Yu family's eldest wife is the Yu family's hope most likely to soar to fame by passing the imperial examination.

She lowered her eyes silently, but unfortunately no one knew what a despicable person Yu Zishu was at heart.

Seeing that they had no intention of speaking, Long Er and Long Sanqi did not ask any more questions. They happily ate their meal and paid no attention to what was happening downstairs.

After dinner, they left the inn and just climbed onto the carriage when a group of people came hurriedly from a distance. The person leading them looked very familiar. Yu Qiuer took a closer look and found that it was her uncle and aunt.

Behind Boss Yu was a young woman wearing peach-pink clothes and having her hair done in a woman's style.

They passed by the carriage without noticing Yu Qiuer who was still lying on the window.

The little girl scratched her head and turned around to see that her sister's face was hidden in the shadows and she couldn't see her expression clearly.

……

……

After returning to Qin's house, Yu Chun'er strode towards the yard where Pan Yingying lived. Yu Qiu'er lagged behind by one step, but never fell behind.

Wang Xueer hesitated for a while, but decided to follow.

She didn't want Sister Yingying and Uncle Chaosheng to be deceived by that family.

In the yard, Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng were watching a movie with Batian. When they heard the noise, they quickly put the projector and tablet into the space.

When the three little girls arrived, they saw a family of three sitting upright.

Yu Chuner took two deep breaths before telling what she had seen.

"Uncle and aunt, we just saw uncle's family..."

"..."

After hearing Yu Chuner's words, Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.

Is this family still alive?
"Uncle and aunt, when my uncle abandoned our second and third wives, my father told me that when I see them in the future, I should pretend not to know them." Yu Chun'er's expression was serious.

The second brother even said that if he saw the eldest brother Yu and his wife, he would take up a knife and chop them to death.

But there is no need to say this. After all, Yu Laoer was just talking, but Yu Chaosheng might really do it.

Besides, judging from what happened today, it seems that Yu Lao Da's family is not doing well.

Seeing that Yu Chun'er had been looking at her, as if waiting for her to agree, Pan Yingying nodded and said, "Okay."

Yu Chun'er breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her aunt nodded, she wouldn't have to worry about her uncle.

The two sisters left and returned to their own courtyard to put away the things they bought today, but Wang Xueer stayed.

"Sister Yingying, I want to tell you something." She spoke in a soft voice, like a gentle girl.

The skinny little girl has now grown into a graceful young lady and will soon reach marriage age. She looks like a completely different person, but she still speaks and acts the same as before and has little sense of presence.

When Pan Yingying heard that she had something to say, she winked at Yu Chaosheng and asked him to take Batian out to play first. Yu Chaosheng curled his lips. What could he, the head of the family, not listen to?
But he still asked Batian to leave.

Outside, the Honglian sisters and Long Shi were sitting under the eaves stringing beads. When they heard him come out, they just looked up and continued with their own work.

Yu Chaosheng had nothing to do, so he simply dragged Batian to destroy the flowers in the yard.

In the room, Wang Xueer told the secret that she had kept in her heart for a long time.

Seven years ago, Wang Yougen was still working as a peddler in the county. That day was Wang Xueer’s birthday, and she asked her father to take her to the county to visit an older sister she knew.

The older sister was called Yuan'er. Her father died early, and she lived with her widowed mother in a small courtyard not far from the academy.

She was good at embroidery and often bought needles and thread from Wang Yougen. She would also embroider handkerchiefs and sell them to Wang Yougen.

Wang Yougen often took his daughters with him to go from street to street selling goods. Wang Xueer got along very well with Yuaner. Sometimes she would play at her house and wait for Wang Yougen to return to the village to pick her up.

That day, Wang Xueer bought some sugar-coated fruits and went to Yuaner's house to share them with her, but her usually lively and cheerful sister was unusually silent and looked like she was worried about something.

Wang Xueer thought that Yuaner's mother's illness had worsened, and when she was about to say a few words of comfort, there was a knock on the door in the yard.

Yuan'er asked Wang Xue'er to stay in the room and not go out, and she went outside to open the door.

The person who came was a student from the academy. The two of them had an argument for some unknown reason. Wang Xueer lay at the door and watched for a long time. She only heard words like "pregnant" and "three months".

The two people spoke in such low voices that she couldn't hear clearly even though she listened carefully.

Just when she was thinking about whether to go out to take a look, the student suddenly jumped up and strangled Yuan'er with the rope used to tie firewood in the yard.

Yuan'er's seriously ill mother heard the noise in the house and struggled to climb out of the door. She was so shocked by the scene she saw that she couldn't breathe and saw the Buddha directly.

Yuan'er's eyes were red from being strangled, but she still struggled to turn her head and shook her head with difficulty at Wang Xue'er who was covering her mouth in the room.

Wang Xueer watched her sister, with whom she had a very good relationship, being strangled to death, and she was so scared that she lost her voice.

The student strangled Yuan'er to death and then hung her body on the beam to make it look like suicide.

Seeing the murderer coming towards the room where she was, Wang Xueer trembled and crawled under the bed to hide. Then the man entered the room, rummaged around, and took away the silver and jewelry that Yuaner had saved.

It was a long time after everyone left that Wang Xueer dared to crawl out from under the bed. When she was about to leave, she saw a student ID card.

She was illiterate, so she instinctively picked up the sign and ran out of Yuaner's house.

However, although she could not read, she knew the student.

She had met him twice at her cousin's house. He was her cousin's eldest cousin.

After that, her personality changed drastically. She didn't like to communicate with others and refused to go to the county town and Taoyuan Village anymore. Wang Yougen and Yang Juanzi guessed that she was stimulated at Yuaner's house and tacitly did not ask about what happened that day.

Also because of Yuan'er's family affairs, Wang Yougen did not continue to work as a peddler in the county town and returned to Wangjia Village.

As a result, after only two years of selling goods in Wangjia Village, people from Zhangjia Village came knocking on the door.

These two things accelerated Wang Xueer's mental maturity and also made her more taciturn.

After learning to read while fleeing, she found the identity card that she had kept well hidden and confirmed the name on the card, which was Yu Zishu from the eldest branch of the Yu family.

She also roughly pieced together the reason why Yuan'er was murdered.

　I'm late, I've been busy all day. It's really miserable to be a corporate slave.

　　It's the end of the month, please give me a ticket.
