Chapter 729: The Truth of Those Years
Jiang Huiwen lowered her head guiltily: "When I saw him, he had already remarried. In a fit of anger, I didn't mention the child to him, only, only said that you two went together."
Liu Chuxue's senses were so keen that, although her reply wasn't too slow, she could see that Jiang Huiwen was lying.
Liu Chuxue shouted sternly: "You are lying."
Jiang Huiwen became very agitated: "I am not! If you don't believe me, go ask around at the Army Compound. Xiao Yude not only remarried, but that woman even bore him a daughter. I heard your eldest son, Xiao Changjiang, treats her with great respect."
After speaking, she burst into loud laughter: "Han Chunyi, back then, who didn't envy you and Xiao Yude, that divine couple? But since you're gone, someone else has taken your place."
Liu Chuxue, who came from a later era, understood immediately upon hearing this: "You plotted for so long, yet it wasn't you who replaced me. What is there to laugh about?"
This remark shocked Jiang Huiwen into widening her eyes suddenly: "How did you know?"
Liu Chuxue sneered: "I treated you as a friend, yet you plotted against me at every turn. Jiang Huiwen, may you die a wretched death."
She intended to provoke this woman, after all, people often speak without thinking when they are angry.
To make her even angrier, Liu Chuxue shouted loudly: "Pity, you plotted for so long, yet someone else still reaped the benefits. You truly are a joke."
Jiang Huiwen had lived a glorious life; how could she bear such words? "So what if I didn't get him? I still lived a glorious life, far better than you dying so early. You probably don't know that the hiding place we used back then was deliberately leaked by me. Such a good opportunity, I naturally couldn't let you live."
Hearing this, Liu Chuxue quickly replayed her words in her mind. She latched onto the phrase "deliberately leaked by me," wondering if, besides wanting to harm someone, there might be other reasons behind it.
It seemed she still needed to bluff: "So you are the enemy agent hidden within our ranks?"
Jiang Huiwen was stunned at first, then began to laugh wildly, as if finally realizing the person before her had a shadow, mistaking her for Han Chunyi.
She stretched her neck forward, her expression triumphant though her voice lowered slightly: "So what if I am? Now, no one can do anything to me."
Seeing this reaction, it was clear it was a habitual response; she had likely been an enemy agent for so long that these habits were carved into her very bones.
Liu Chuxue's face was filled with rage: "You deserve to die."
Jiang Huiwen was now somewhat mad, laughing loudly: "Even if you are Han Chunyi, I am not afraid. Even if you send your son back to the Xiao family, he won't gain a single bit of benefit, because before long, Xiao Yude will be ruined and disgraced."
After laughing enough, she added another sentence: "Since I cannot have him, I will destroy him. Let's see how he can face the ancestors of the Xiao family. Isn't that the phrase he loves to hang on his lips the most?"
Having asked up to this point, Liu Chuxue no longer wished to continue.
She sneered: "Then let us see who destroys whom first. You think you have a few good sons? Let them repay their mother's debts. After all, the person who arranged for you, a shameless wretch who should have been sent to the Northwest for re-education, to settle here and enjoy life, is no good person either."
After speaking, disregarding Jiang Huiwen's screams behind her of "You dare? Who is it?", she walked straight out of the detention room.
It was only after she emerged that she remembered she had not extracted information about the Xiao family in Haishi.
However, she had no intention of going back to force answers, since with information about her biological grandfather, could she not find the Han family in Haishi?
After all, whether the kinship is acknowledged remains to be seen; uncovering the truth is her goal.
