Chapter 127: It Was Wronging Her
Surrounded by green pines and cypresses, the solemn and respectful air was permeated with a sacred atmosphere.
The Shi family of four stepped up the marble stairs step by step and finally stopped in front of the tombstone of "Martyr Su Yichen."
Shi Heng leaned over, carefully placed a bunch of golden wild chrysanthemums he was holding in front of the tombstone, and said softly: "Xiao Yi, I've come to see you."
Except for Shi Heng, the other three were visiting here for the first time. They looked around with some guilt and some helplessness.
Just then, Shi Heng turned his head and said coldly to his mother, Liu Wanxin:
"Kneel down."
Hearing Shi Heng's order, Shi Zhenyuan's face suddenly sank, and he said angrily:
"Heng'er, don't go too far! You and I both know clearly that this is just an empty grave!"
"Heh, an empty grave? Dad, open your eyes and look, established by the Central People's Government of China, Tomb of Martyr Su Yichen! Your daughter is a martyr, a hero of the whole of China, are you questioning the faith of the country!"
"Even if she is a martyr, she is still your mother's daughter! There is no reason in the world for a mother to kneel to her daughter!"
Liu Wanxin also stood aside with her head lowered, clasping her hands without speaking, with a look of unwillingness on her face.
"You won't kneel, huh."
Shi Heng sneered, "I think you really won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"
The next moment, Shi Heng's gaze became stern. He took out his phone from his pocket, tapped his finger, and a clear recording was immediately played publicly.
"I am the nanny of the Third Miss, Ye Jing. I saw with my own eyes that the laser pointer that hurt the Third Miss back then was given to the Second Miss by the Madam! That laser pointer was problematic; it would burn the skin upon contact!"
As the sound fell, Liu Wanxin's heart trembled!
Her legs went weak, and she knelt in front of Su Yichen's grave with a "thump
"Husband, Heng, and Xi! Listen to my explanation!"
Shi Xi had already heard this recording and knew that the incident back then was Liu Wanxin framing Su Yichen, so she didn't have any surprised expression. Shi Zhenyuan's pupils dilated instantly, and his sword-like eyebrows stood upright:
"Wanxin, was that laser pointer that injured Xi really given to Xiao Yi by you? What on earth happened?!"
"Husband, it's not what you think! I didn't intentionally frame Xiao Yi!" Liu Wanxin said, snot and tears streaming down her face: "Back then, back then Xiao Yi saw other children playing with laser pointers and clamored for one too. I just happened to... happened to see one on a bodyguard at home, so I asked for it to give to Shi Yi to play with. I had no idea that his laser pointer had been tampered with and wasn't for children to play with! The day the incident happened, when I rushed to the scene, Xi's eyes were already injured..."
Liu Wanxin repeated to Shi Zhenyuan, word for word, the explanation she had once given to Shi Xi, pushing all the blame onto that bodyguard.
"For so many years, I didn't dare tell you because that pointer went missing afterward... I, I had no evidence at all. Even if I had ten thousand mouths, I couldn't explain it clearly!"
Listening to Liu Wanxin's tearful explanation, Shi Zhenyuan's expression turned cold inch by inch.
He only felt as if a large stone were blocking his heart, making him feel stifled and oppressed. So, he had wronged Xiao Yi from the very beginning; Xi's eyes were purely an accident! No wonder Su Yichen had never been willing to apologize all these years. But... so many years had passed, what was the point of pursuing who was right and who was wrong now?!
Moreover, Xiao Yi no longer recognized them as parents; the grievances between them should be settled, which might be the best ending for both sides.
In the end, he sighed helplessly and said indifferently:
"Wanxin, if things are really like this, then Xiao Yi was wronged. Go ahead and kowtow to Yi'er and apologize properly."
Hearing the master's order, Liu Wanxin hurriedly prostrated herself before Su Yichen's grave and kowtowed three times with loud "bangs."
"Yi'er, for so many years, it is Mother who has failed you... You have been wronged! Mother apologizes to you, I hope you can forgive me... forgive the harm our family has caused you..."
Seeing her mother kneeling before the grave, kowtowing incessantly, Shi Xi's eyes turned red, and her heart was filled with guilt. She knew that her mother had gone to such lengths to protect her.
But at this moment, she couldn't help with anything!
Shi Heng, meanwhile, held his phone, recording the video with a cold expression—this was the explanation he had to give to Qin Hao Bei.
Liu Wanxin knelt on the ground, kowtowing one after another. Her fair, smooth forehead was covered in dirt, and her usually elegant hair was disheveled at her temples. She looked utterly wretched, and Shi Zhenyuan finally couldn't bear to watch anymore.
"That's enough!"
5:00 PM, at the Xiaoman Medical Clinic.
"Dr. Shen, thank you! I will make sure Yaya takes her medicine on time. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now." A lady with a child bowed repeatedly to express her thanks.
"You're welcome. If you have any problems, come back and see me anytime," Su Yichen said with a smile.
After the last patient left, Su Yichen let out a sigh of relief, then opened her phone and poured a glass of water before heading to the breakroom.
She had just sat down on the sofa when, suddenly, she heard a "buzz, buzz, buzz"—the phone on the table began to vibrate.
She picked it up and saw it was a video sent by her brother.
Qin Hao Bei rarely sent her videos. Su Yichen opened the video with some confusion and began to watch.
In the video, there were green pines and cypresses; it looked like a scene from the Martyrs Cemetery. Liu Wanxin was kneeling in front of a tombstone, kowtowing while apologizing incessantly.
"Yi'er, for so many years, it is Mother who has failed you..."
Su Yichen looked closely and saw that the tombstone in front of Liu Wanxin was actually engraved with the large characters "Martyr Su Yichen."
Isn't this my tombstone...
Liu Wanxin was crying her heart out, her face covered in mud, looking utterly wretched. Shi Zhenyuan and Shi Xi were also standing to the side, their expressions pained and sorrowful.
Su Yichen frowned in annoyance. Before finishing the video, she clicked the 'X' in the top right corner and exited.
Immediately after, she angrily replied to Qin Hao Bei with a message.
"Brother, are you very free? Don't send me videos like this again in the future, and don't go looking for the Shi family! I don't care for their apologies. Remember, I am Shen Xingyao now!"
Following that, she sent a "Little Cat Angry" sticker.
Just as the message was sent, the phone vibrated "buzz, buzz, buzz" again. This time, it was a call from Zhou Yutong.
"Hello, Yu Tongjie." Su Yichen calmed her emotions and answered the phone.
"Xing'er, I have something I want to tell you. I want to formally invite you to participate in my performance."
"Performance?"
"Yes, let's meet and talk."
