320. Chapter 320: A Yellowed Letter

How could it be like this!

Qiao Sheng said, "My mother's father and mother never told her that she is not their biological child."

"Perhaps they didn't want to lose your mother as a daughter."

Ouyang Yuefeng told Qiao Sheng what they had previously investigated.

He didn't wait for her to speak.

Ouyang Yuefeng continued, "They were away for such a long time before returning to their hometown, and the villagers cannot prove that your mother is their biological child, so the possibility that she is not their biological child remains quite great."

If that's really the case.

Why did Shi Lin say nothing? Could it be that he has never seen Ouyang Yuefeng's grandmother?

Or perhaps.

Is he poor at judging people?

Is Ouyang Yuefeng's grandmother's current appearance somewhat different from before?

Qiao Sheng pursed his lips and said, "Where did your grandmother lose her daughter, and have they been looking for her all these years?"

Does she not believe this?

Speaking of it, I also find it somewhat unbelievable.

Ouyang Yuefeng said, "My grandmother and the others were traveling around Cloud City at that time, and their daughter was lost in the Cloud City area; I don't know the exact place. Over the years my father and others have been helping to search, but have not found her. If I hadn't come here this time, perhaps she still wouldn't have been found up to now."

Qiao Sheng asked Ouyang Yuefeng several more questions.

Having finished asking.

Qiao Sheng went again to Qiao Hushui's.

This time.

Qiao Sheng did not hide this from Lan Yue Niang, saying it in front of her.

Lan Yue Niang, after hearing, froze in place: "How… how could this be possible? My parents have always been good to me; it doesn't at all look like how an outsider should be."

"Perhaps they truly love you."

Qiao Hushui said from beside.

Lan Yue Niang recalled past events and suddenly thought of something: her mother, before passing, kept looking toward a certain direction.

She thought at the time that her mother was going to give her the money in the cabinet, so she took it out.

That's it.

Her mother opened her mouth but didn't manage to say a few words before she died.

"Go home, I want to go back."

Lan Yue Niang urged Qiao Hushui to get onto the ox cart.

All right.

Qiao Sheng and they went together to Lan Yue Niang's maternal home.

Their family is in Lanjia Village, still some distance from the town, and it took roughly nearly an hour's walk to arrive.

Their house is a mud‑brick dwelling, long since fallen into ruin.

Lan Yue Niang rushed in, rummaged around, and after a while found nothing.

"Mother, what are you looking for?"

Qiao Sheng walked in and asked her.

She saw Qiao Sheng entering.

Lan Yue Niang stepped forward, took her hand and said, "Lianhua, you're clever; quickly help mother think, what does your grandmother looking at the cabinet before she died mean?"

Get a clear answer.

Qiao Sheng walked to the cabinet and examined it carefully; the cabinet before him had lost all its paint, now ugly and dilapidated, with some parts chewed by insects.

He opened the drawer; there was nothing inside.

Qiao Sheng took it down.

He looked up and down; there was nothing, no inner compartment.

He put the drawer back down.

Qiao Sheng's gaze fell on the cabinet; looking down he discovered something, reached out, and after a short while pulled out from beneath a yellowed letter.

"Mother, the letter…"

At this moment, Qiao Hushui also entered.

As soon as Qiao Sheng said that.

Qiao Hushui and Lan Yue Niang both turned to look at the letter.

Qiao Sheng opened it and read, "Moon Mother, when you see this letter, father should no longer be here. You are actually not our biological daughter; we found you by a river, you were covered in wounds, had no memory, and we decided to tell you later…"
