Just as she finished speaking, she made such a mistake.
However, you canât really blame her, because what Chen Zhu said just now was truly shocking.
"Brother Xinian, what Chen Zhu meant just now, was she saying she was what by a fugitive, and then she said her daughter is dead, right? She also said she canât speak it out, because if she does, people will know she was by a fugitive..."
Chiang Xiao was organizing what Chen Zhu had said.
If what Chen Zhu said is true, then whatâs going on with her?
No matter how Chiang Xiao thinks about it, itâs all confusing, "Could it be that she had another daughter before me?"
Then, that daughter died?
Meng Xinian shook his head.
"Thatâs illogical, and impossible." He sighed and said, "How old was she before you? When she was pregnant with you, she couldnât hide it from the whole village, how could she possibly have hidden having had one before? Besides, if it was really like that, wouldnât your grandparents know?"
But Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao never mentioned a word, and seeing their behavior over the years and everything that happened after meeting Chen Zhu, it should be evident theyâre not hiding anything.
That old couple is just honest people. If they were hiding such a big secret, it would be impossible for them to be so natural, there would definitely be a time when they seemed suspicious.
But there wasnât.
Which means they truly didnât know anything else happened beyond Chiang Xiao with Chen Zhu, especially something as significant as having a child.
"But thatâs just what she said." Chiang Xiao bit her lower lip.
"Thatâs what she said, but Little, you also canât ignore that she just consumed the Illusionary Talisman Diagram, and weâre not sure about the effects of this Illusionary Talisman Diagram yet."
"What she said before should be true," Chiang Xiao said. "She left the hospital with a man, then went to the Kong Family to find Kuang Kanzhi, met Nian Che, and she said Nian Che promised to help her find someone to fix that face, we should all know that this is true."
"Yes, that part is likely true, could it be because these are recent events, so they are clear in her mind, and thatâs why she spoke the truth? And those were things from eighteen or nineteen years ago, so her memories are confused?"
Chiang Xiao bit her lower lip and glared at him.
"Why do I feel like youâre just hoping I have nothing to do with her?"
Meng Xinian felt extremely wronged.
He pulled Chiang Xiao back into his arms, sighed, and said, "Little, I know you deeply wish you have nothing to do with her, but we really canât take her words seriously now. Think about it, how could she have another before you? No one in Siyang Village mentioned it, and also, before you, no one said she disappeared for a while or anything happened, all they said was that all the young men from far and wide wanted to marry her because she was a flower of Peace Town, right? She didnât have time to have another, itâs irrational."
"Then why did she say the daughter is dead?"
"Thatâs why we need to figure out what the effects of this Illusionary Talisman Diagram really are. Did she speak half-truth and half-nonsense? If we can determine that after taking this diagram, she speaks the truth, then we can trace what she said to find out what it really means, right? What Iâm saying is, donât rush."
Meng Xinian stroked her hair and said, "Seeing you lose your composure, it pains me."
