Capítulo 1059: Chapter 450: The Death of Madam Liu (Part 4)
Yueyao felt that Xiang Wei was getting more and more ridiculous.
Xiang Wei smiled and said, “Madam, someone like Maternal Aunt Liu can’t be judged by common sense. The same goes for Marquis Weiyuan, he’s not a normal person either.” A normal person wouldn’t have indulged a concubine’s wishes to the point of letting a concubine-born child pass off as a legitimate child, causing the whole Marquis’ household to be in chaos.
Upon hearing these words, Yueyao couldn’t help but think of Ning Lixuan and blurted out, “Maybe it’s true love!”
Xiang Wei thought Yueyao’s ability to tell cold jokes was getting better: “Compared to Marquis Weiyuan, Ning Lixuan has at least some merit.” At least Ning Lixuan would rather forgo the position of Princely Heir to marry Mu Qinglian, and in the end, it was Mu Qinglian herself who gave up. After marrying Mu Qinglian, although Ning Lixuan had a legal wife, it was merely to appease the anger of the clan. But Ning Lixuan was wholeheartedly devoted to Mu Qinglian, and for the sake of Mu Qinglian and the child, he didn’t even go near his legal wife. Unlike Marquis Weiyuan, who said he loved but was actually a jerk, with everyone around him suffering.
Yueyao laughed at what Xiang Wei said: “I never thought you would actually praise Ning Lixuan.” For Mu Qinglian, Ning Lixuan was indeed deeply in love; but for his parents, he was unfilial, and for his wife, he was heartless. Yueyao utterly disdained Ning Lixuan.
Xiang Wei chuckled, “I didn’t praise him.”
Xiang Wei’s analysis was full of holes, and Yueyao instinctively didn’t believe it. But as for the truth of the matter, she had no mind to investigate.
To Yueyao’s surprise, that night An Zhichen suddenly mentioned the matter to Yueyao: “Maternal Aunt Liu’s death was probably not the handiwork of Lady Fang.”
Yueyao didn’t know how to respond, and after quite some time, she recounted Xiang Wei’s analysis to An Zhichen: “I always felt Maternal Aunt Liu wasn’t the type to risk her life for revenge.”
An Zhichen nodded: “Maternal Aunt Liu wouldn’t commit suicide.” When An Zhichen said this, it was not a question but a certainty. From what he knew of Madam Liu, she would definitely not commit suicide at this time; even if she couldn’t obtain his forgiveness, Madam Liu wouldn’t take her own life.
Yueyao opened her mouth. If Maternal Aunt Liu didn’t commit suicide, nor was it Lady Fang who harmed her, then who would have done it? There were only a few masters in the Marquis’ household, the culprit must be among them.
An Zhichen saw Yueyao furrow her brow, and said something that startled Yueyao: “The one who made the deadly move is most likely the second son.”
Yueyao’s eyes almost popped out.
An Zhichen had his reasons for saying this. Maternal Aunt Liu was so wise and capable, yet she had a weakness, which was An Zhixiao. Maternal Aunt Liu believed An Zhixiao was her biological son, so for twenty years she treated him with all her heart. Because of this, An Zhixiao could often come into contact with the maids and old nannies around Maternal Aunt Liu, making it quite easy for him to buy someone off.
Yueyao couldn’t understand: “Why would An Zhixiao want to harm Maternal Aunt Liu?” With Maternal Aunt Liu dead, what good would it do him? Yueyao felt there were many doubts in this matter.
An Zhixiao simply said, “In a few days, it will become clear.” He didn’t care one bit about Madam Liu’s fate, but if someone wanted to take advantage of her death to frame him, they could dream on.
Yueyao thought for a moment, finding Xiang Wei’s explanation a bit far-fetched, while An Zhixiao’s suspicion seemed to have solid grounds. Ah, the Marquis Weiyuan’s Mansion, what kind of people are they! There’s not a single normal person among them. It really goes to show how important family discipline is, as an improper family can be detrimental to future generations.
