Chapter 342: The person the emperor bullied was Madam Liu

Xie Yingmian's heart moved.

Xie Jingyun mentioned a wealthy businessman named Shen Yu in his diary.

Xie Jingyun also mentioned Xiaoyuer many times.

"Which two words?" she asked.

Mrs. Liu groped her way to the table and wrote the word "Chen Yu" on it.

It turns out that it is not the sinking of fish, but the sinking of metaphor.

Xie Yingmian said, "I've never met her and know very little about her. As for her name, I haven't even asked."

At least not in the original owner's memory.

Madam Liu was stunned for a moment: "You haven't seen your mother?"

Xie Yingmian: "To be honest, my mother died when I was born. I was sent to the farm by the Xie family to grow up. I don't know much about my mother's life or appearance."

Mrs. Liu's tears fell down.

The farewell seems to have happened yesterday, but the voice and smile of the old friend are still before my eyes.

But suddenly someone told her that the old friend who had been chatting and joking with her yesterday had passed away twenty years ago.

Xie Yingmian handed over the handkerchief and waited for Mrs. Liu to calm down.

After Madam Liu finished crying, she wiped her eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I lost control for a moment."

"No wonder I thought the girl had the voice of an old friend. It turns out she is the daughter of an old friend."

"you……"

Mrs. Liu had many questions to ask.

The words came to my lips, but I didn't know what to ask.

Xie Yingmian: "The porridge is getting cold."

Madam Liu smiled and said, "Yes."

After Madam Liu finished her porridge, Xie Yingmian said, "Madam Liu, I'm investigating the cause of my mother's death. There are some things I hope you can tell me."

"I want to know what happened to you and my mother at the palace banquet that year?"

Mrs. Liu did not answer.

Xie Yingmian didn't urge him either.

The room fell into silence, with only the rustling of wind through the window frames as the sound could be heard.

A long, long time passed.

Mrs. Liu said, "I don't know."

Xie Yingmian never expected this answer: "You don't know?"

Mrs. Liu: "I don't know what happened to Xiaoyu. Xiaoyu and I were together at the beginning, but after entering that building, we separated."

"Xiaoyu said she wanted to meet someone on the top floor."

"I was waiting for her on the lower floor." Madam Liu trembled slightly when she said this. "I fell asleep there."

"When I was sleeping soundly, a man picked me up and hugged me. He..."

Madam Liu covered her face, finding it difficult to speak the next words.

Xie Yingmian widened her eyes slightly.

That year, Xie Tao saw the emperor in disheveled clothes.

"Is it the emperor?" Xie Yingmian lowered his voice.

Madam Liu nodded with difficulty: "It's him."

"After I woke up from the pain, I vaguely saw his face. It was him, he..."

Xie Yingmian found it absurd.

Back then, the person bullied by the emperor was actually Madam Liu.

"Then why did you fall from the building?" Xie Yingmian asked.

Madam Liu clenched her hands: "I don't remember the specific details."

"I just remember that the little fish couldn't wait for me and was calling me."

"When he heard Xiaoyu's call, he was shocked and muttered something about something being wrong. Then, I fell from the building."

Xie Yingmian tapped the table lightly with her fingers.

There is no need for Madam Liu to lie.

If what Madam Liu said was true, then it can be inferred that the person the emperor wanted to defile was the original owner's mother.

But the emperor made a mistake and insulted Madam Liu.

After the emperor found out that he had made a mistake, he threw Madam Liu down the stairs.

Who was the person that the original owner's mother met on the top floor? Why did the original owner's mother run out in disheveled clothes?

Also, why the original owner's mother became pregnant after the palace banquet, whose child was she pregnant with, etc.

These are still unknown.

"Madam Liu, do you know why my mother married my father?" Xie Yingmian asked.

Madam Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "It should be the parents' order and the matchmaker's words, right?"

"I don't know anything about Xiaoyu's youth."

"I've known Xiaoyu for over a year... well, that's based on the time I fell from the building. Back then, I went to Huangyun Temple to burn incense and met a dandy playboy. He knew I'd married into the Liu family with my tablet, so he turned against me, saying I seduced him because I couldn't stand the loneliness after becoming a widow."

"That scoundrel was incredibly shameless. He made up a rumor about a mole on my body that looked like something. He made it sound so convincing that everyone around me believed it and started to criticize me. I couldn't take off my clothes to prove myself, so I was left speechless and furious."

"Just when I was about to die of shame and anger, Xiaoyu stepped forward."

"Xiaoyu didn't confront Lecher, but instead targeted those onlookers who were denouncing me."

"Xiaoyu pointed at the lady who was jumping up and down the most and said that she had seen her cheating with her own eyes. The lady naturally refused to admit it, so Xiaoyu said that she had noticed a red leaf-shaped mole on her buttocks."

"The lady was very angry and said there was no mole on her buttocks. Xiaoyu asked her to prove it. Of course, the lady would not take off her clothes in public. She was so angry that she wanted to report it to the police."

"Xiaoyu pointed at a few other people who were really jumping around and used the same method to make up stories."

"Those ladies were naturally furious and said Xiaoyu was talking nonsense."

"Xiaoyu said that if the knife is not stuck in their body, they can stand and talk without any pain in their waist. She can talk nonsense, so why can't Lecher talk nonsense?"

"Those ladies knew they were in the wrong and were afraid of Xiaoyu, so they didn't dare to criticize me anymore."

"After Xiaoyu subdued those gossipy ladies, she accompanied me to report to the police. Xiaoyu was very eloquent, saying that the lecher's behavior had endangered all women. She said that if a man had a crush on a woman, he could spread rumors at will, and the woman would have to give herself to him, and the world would be in chaos."

"Xiaoyu also mobilized many people. Those people didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs, but Xiaoyu persuaded them with a few words. They also have daughters, sisters, and younger sisters at home. If they allow the lecher's behavior to continue, their own family members might be the next victims."

"When their own interests were involved, the people were filled with righteous indignation, and the matter became a huge uproar. Even Dengtuzi's family background could not protect him."

"And so, that lecher was beaten with thirty sticks and exiled a thousand miles away."

"After the incident of Dengtuzi, which served as a warning to others, there were fewer hooligans on the streets during that period." Mrs. Liu had a faint smile on her lips when she talked about the past.

"Since then, Xiaoyu and I have become close friends, and we often meet up to drink tea and listen to music together."

Madam Liu said to Xie Yingmian, "But I can clearly feel that Xiaoyu doesn't like to mention the Shen and Xie families. Every time they are mentioned, she finds an excuse to change the subject."

The information about the original owner's mother described by Mrs. Liu was completely inconsistent with the information she had investigated.

According to her investigation, the original owner's mother was very introverted. She was a transparent person in the Shen family. She was the kind of person who was not loved by her father and mother and no one cared about her. She also had no sense of existence in the Xie family.

According to Mrs. Liu, the original owner's mother was witty, lively, enthusiastic, cheerful and full of vigor.

Xie Yingmian thought for a moment and then asked, "Has my mother ever mentioned the name Xie Jingyun to you?"

Madam Liu was stunned.
