Chapter 1379: Chapter 1379: Strange (3)

Duo Tianlin’s brow furrowed briefly, and a flash of pain crossed his face.

“Moreover, Uncle Luo,” Yang Ruxin looked at Duo Tianlin, “I might be speaking out of turn, but don’t you find it bizarre that the Chu Family’s young miss disappeared all those years ago? It’s not that I’m a conspiracy theorist, but it always seemed strange to me.”

Duo Tianlin looked up at Yang Ruxin.

“Even though I’m just a village girl, I know that young ladies from Aristocratic Families or wealthy households are always followed by servants whenever they go out, right? How could she have been kidnapped? And with so many people around, why was she the only one taken?” Yang Ruxin sneered, “I also know that Chu Rui’s mother fell ill because of Chu Rui’s disappearance. In fact, she passed away not long after you and Chu Xin got married. Chu Rui’s father, the Chu Family head at the time, was quickly brought down by the departure of his beloved wife and daughter, all within the span of a year…,” she paused, “Now the head of the Chu Family is the former second master of the Chu Family, and the second master’s wife passed away from an illness ten years ago. It wasn’t long before he remarried. According to what I’ve heard, the current second madam of the Chu Family, who he remarried, is Chu Xin’s birth mother…”

“What?” Duo Tianlin’s expression became solemn, “You mean the current one…”

Yang Ruxin nodded: “After I promised to help her fulfill her wish, I sent someone to Quanzhou and dug up some old stories. Initially, Chu Xin’s mother abandoned her child and ran away, but being a woman who had given birth, she had no chance of finding a better man, so she came back not long after. Then, at some point, she became involved with the second master of the Chu Family. I even find the sudden illness and death of the second madam quite suspicious…”

Duo Tianlin exhaled deeply, “Perhaps, I really should go back and thoroughly investigate…” Then he sighed, “When Xiaorui was gone, I didn’t even want to live, let alone have the strength to seek the truth. And since the Chu Family found and brought back the hairpin Xiaorui had on her from the seaside… over the years, I’ve been living in a daze, always thinking if I hadn’t spoken so harshly that day, she wouldn’t have run out and wouldn’t have had that accident…”

“But you want to bring her back, you want her to be properly buried with you in broad daylight. That means you need to clear her name; otherwise, she’ll always be a woman shrouded in mystery…”

Duo Tianlin staggered suddenly, then held his head and sobbed. He could go back to seek the truth, but his Xiaorui could no longer wait for that day…

Yang Ruxin didn’t know what to say.

“No matter what, I must bring Xiaorui back home.” Duo Tianlin cried for a while and then lifted his head again, “She wanted to see her hometown one last time… Even if she can’t wait for the day the truth comes to light, I will uncover it to console her Spirit of Heaven…”

“But, Uncle Luo, don’t forget you still have a wife and son at home… Doing this to her…” Yang Ruxin frowned, “Even if she’s not innocent, the child is innocent. You…”

“Xinxin, Uncle Luo won’t hide it from you.” Duo Tianlin suddenly sneered, “Although I married Chu Xin, I never consummated the marriage. That child… was adopted. I only have one Chu Rui, and no one can ever take her place. She wanted the title of Mrs. Luo, and I gave it to her, but as for the rest, I have nothing to give…”
