Chapter 423 Someone Wants to Silence

"Ting'er, your father-in-law is right. Your aunt Qian also noticed that he had someone outside and asked why he didn't bring her back." Rong's mother always felt that her son was being fooled.

How could Cai Wenting, who is usually well-behaved and cute, not be Wen Qian's daughter?

Besides, how could Wen Qian raise someone else's daughter?

In the eyes of Rong's mother and others, this is a common thing.

This is how men all go through life.

Cai Wenting cried bitterly, "Aunt Xiang, maybe Brother Ting is too soft-hearted and was deceived. If Brother Ting doesn't like it, I am willing to cancel the engagement."

"It's just that I can't accept that I'm not my mother's daughter."

Cai Wenting raised her head from Rong's mother's arms.

He took two steps back and put some distance between them.

With a kind of pride, she said, "I am Wen Qian's daughter, and my mother's dowry and jewelry were all left to me. My mother carefully raised me for the first thirteen years of my life. I am here today to make this statement and to break off the engagement with Master Rong Ting."

Cai Wenting is gambling.

She knew Rong Ting couldn't find any evidence.

Just based on Cai Wen Ning's empty words?

She could have beaten Cai Wenning to death right here, and the murderous intent in her eyes faded. Instead, she wore a stubborn, unyielding look, and her off-white jacket made her look even thinner.

Seeing this, Rong's mother's heart tightened.

Poor child.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Rong Ting was as sharp as a knife, as if he wanted to kill this useless guy with a knife.

Doing unreliable things all day long.

Cai Hongxuan shouted at the servant beside him, "Bring that evil girl Wen Ning here."

"Dad, no."

Cai Wenting didn't want that little bitch Wen Ning to meet Rong's mother because Wen Ning looked like her mother.

"It's not necessarily what the second sister did. Even if it was the second sister, it wasn't her intention."

"As the eldest sister, I didn't teach her well."

"My second sister has been living on the farm and is used to being innocent. She has only been back for a few months, so it's inevitable that she has neglected the etiquette of aristocratic families."

Cai Wenting bit her lip and shook her head, "Dad. Please."

Cai Hongxuan understood the meaning in Cai Wenting's eyes.

Sighed.

"It's all my fault for being so confused back then."

Rong Ting: ...?

Are you guys playing a double act?

To say that Wen Ning is innocent and naive does not mean that she is ignorant?

Before he could say anything, Rong's mother hit him on the head several times.

"It's all your fault. You're always causing me trouble."

Cai Wen Ning came with her maid Haitang. Haitang was the maid given to her by Rong Ting. She was skilled in martial arts and very loyal.

She was wearing a light purple long jacket embroidered with evening primrose flowers, and a dark purple horse-faced skirt with round patterns.

"Dad, what are you talking about? Are there guests in the mansion?"

Rong's mother looked up when she heard this.

In a trance.

It seemed as if I saw Wen Qian coming over. She also liked purple clothes and the evening primrose flowers that no one liked.

"Wen Qian."

Cai Wen Ning looked at Rong's mother and smiled.

"I'm Cai Wenning, the second young lady of the Cai family."

I saw Cai Wen Ning coming over wearing purple clothes.

A hint of displeasure flashed in Cai Hongxuan and Cai Wenting's eyes.

Why is she here?

Cai Wenting pinched her hand hard to calm herself down, thinking to herself: Why is that little bitch here? Can't those useless women even keep a useless bitch under control?

There was concern in his words.

"Wen Ning, why are you here? You seem unwell. Go back and rest."

Cai Wenting noticed that Rong's mother looked dazed.

I was panicked for a moment.

I just want to drive Cai Wen Ning away.

Cai Hongxuan hated himself at this moment for being controlled by that damn girl. Why did he insist on keeping her in the first place?

They are all his daughters, but Cai Wenting is more suitable to be the eldest daughter.

"You are such a tactless person! Can't you see there are guests in the mansion? Go back now."

"Don't go."

Rong's mother seemed to understand why Rong Ting did that, and she had doubts in her heart.

From her hair to her feet, Cai Wenting doesn't resemble Wen Qian at all.

The girl in front of me...

She came before Cai Wen Ning, her eyes filled with disbelief. No one knew that she and Wen Qian had a bond deeper than that of sisters.

"Miss Wen Ning, your mother is...?"

"Wen Qian."

Cai Wen Ning blurted out.

Cai Wenting dug her nails into her palms. "You're talking nonsense. Everyone knows that Wen Qian is my mother."

"What evidence do you have?"

Cai Wen Ning answered honestly: "No."

Cai Hongxuan raised his hand and slapped Haitang, but was blocked by her.

"Master Cai, you can't hit my daughter. She is now the wife of the owner of the Donglai Restaurant. If you hurt her, I'm afraid you will have a hard time explaining it."

Donglai Restaurant?

Everyone knows what it represents.

That is the most profitable Donglai Casino in the no-man's land. I heard that the big boss behind the scenes is the master of Yunheng Palace.

Cai Hongxuan: ...?

How is that possible?

How did the evil girl get to know the owner of Donglai Restaurant?

Cai Wenting sneered:

"Second sister is always talking nonsense. How did someone who spends all day in Jinyang Prefecture get to know the wife of the owner of the Donglai Restaurant?"

"Everyone knows that the owner of Donglai Restaurant has never been to Jinyang Prefecture."

The person next to him nodded when he heard this.

The boss from the east had indeed never been to Jinyang Prefecture.

Hu Banxian from Jinyang Prefecture can testify to this.

The old lady of the Cai Mansion was so angry that she wanted to beat Wen Ning to death with her cane. "It's all because of you, a despicable person, running out and talking nonsense for no reason."

"I heard that you didn't come home the night before and only came back late last night. You were afraid of being punished by your family, so you made up a story about them."

The old lady spoke righteously.

When everyone heard this, they were surprised that he had not returned home all night.

There was a hint of contempt in his eyes when he looked at Cai Wen Ning.

"The second young lady of the Cai family is too bold. A girl like her deserves to be thrown into a pig cage."

"The Cai family has always been tolerant of their daughters."

"If it were the Qian family, they would definitely be sent to the Chastity Building to spend the rest of their lives."

"The Qian family did the right thing. The daughters of the Qian family are the ones that aristocratic families are vying for in marriage."

…….

Cai Wen Ning bit his lip and listened to the world's abuse.

Her eyes were cold.

She looked at Cai Hongxuan indifferently. This was her father.

That's ridiculous.

He would rather let her be despised by the world than trample her into the dust. Just for the daughter he had with his childhood sweetheart, if he loved her so much, why didn't he marry her?

Thinking of my mother.

"You evil creature, get out of here!" Cai Hongxuan shouted.

Rong Ting stepped forward and said, "The night before last. I accompanied Miss Wen Ning to pay respects to her mother. I didn't have time to return, so I stayed in the plum forest."

"Yesterday was her mother's birthday."

When everyone heard this, they realized...

"Since it's a birthday, why didn't Miss Cai go?" someone asked deliberately.

Cai Wenting: ...? What's the point of worshipping a dead person?

"I caught a cold two days ago, so I specially copied the Ksitigarbha Sutra in the Buddhist temple yesterday and dedicated it to my mother." Cai Wenting's eyes were filled with grievance.

She looks more and more fragile.

"My mother is also my second sister's biological mother. Thank you, second sister, for going to pay respect to my mother."

Cai Wenning slowly looked at Rong's mother, "Aunt Xiang, Mother said that the camellias in the tea garden have been cultivated in several colors. She likes red. Do you like yellow?"

"Your mouth is chapped. You need to drink more chrysanthemum."

"Chrysanthemums are cold, so I baked them with daughter's red wine. Just soaking chrysanthemums with some wolfberries is the most suitable drink for Aunt Xiang."

"Unfortunately... Jinyang Prefecture doesn't have this kind of tea."

Cai Wen Ning's few short words.

Rong's mother was stunned.

"You, how did you know?" Rong's mother's mind exploded, and all the memories flooded into her heart.

Those words were between her and Wen Qian.

They were born in Lingnan.

After his family encountered an accident, he was sent to his ancestral home in Jinyang Prefecture.

They married separately from their maternal grandparents.

"My mother told me." Cai Wen Ning spoke slowly.

"You're talking nonsense."

Cai Wenting's eyes were bloodshot and she wished she could sew Cai Wenning's mouth shut.

"Mother has never seen you."

Cai Wen Ning didn't say anything, but took out a painting from his sleeve.

"This is the painting I drew for my mother." Wen Qian unfolded the portrait. The woman in the painting had a gentle expression on her face as she sat on a stone bench among the flowers, her eyes curved as she looked into the distance.

The scene in the painting is the Hulu Temple not far from Zhuangzi.

The clothes Wen Qian was wearing were the ones Rong's mother had given her a few years ago.

"This is the clothes I gave to Wen Qian."

Rong's mother's eyes lit up with joy. "I remember that time I asked her to go to Hulu Temple. Something happened in the Rong family. I told Wen Qian about it, but she still chose to go to Hulu Temple alone."

"Not long after...Wen Qian fell ill and died."

Mother Rong lowered her eyes.

Cai Wen Ning held the portrait in his hand. "My mother said I was her daughter." Cai Wen Ning lowered his eyes. "That time, she said she would find out the truth and then take me back."

"I didn't expect that I would wait for her for such a long time."

"Instead, someone wanted to kill me. Fortunately, fortunately... I was not destined to die."

Cai Wen Ning suppressed the hatred in his eyes.

She and Wen Qian had never met each other. Perhaps it was fate that she caught a cold and had a fever in Merlin the day before yesterday.

She dreamed of many fragments of Wen Qian.

Among them are clips of Wen Qian and Rong's mother in Lingnan, as well as Wen Qian in Jinyang Prefecture.

And... the truth about Wen Qian's death.

The truth behind being murdered...

"What did you say? Someone wants to kill you?" Rong's mother looked at Cai Wen Ning in surprise. If what she said was true, then Wen Qian, who had always been in good health, suddenly fell ill.

Someone wants to silence me.

"That's nonsense."

Cai Hongxuan didn't expect that Cai Wen Ning would actually discredit the Cai family.

He likes Cai Wenting.

But at first... he really thought it was Wen Qian's child.

What if I find out the truth later?

Cai Wenting is the epitome of a lady from a noble family, while Cai Wenning is just a country girl. She's not even worthy of being Cai Wenting's maid!
