Everyone was puzzled as to why Madam Gong would be so cruel to a five-year-old girl, and why her three sons did not stop her, knowing full well the consequences of abandoning a five-year-old child under such circumstances.

"Mr. Gong, where is Miss Gong Zhu's mother? Where was she at the time?" Lu Mo realized the key point.

It is said that Gong Yi and his wife were married at the behest of their parents. Although he respected his wife very much, he did not love her. However, Gong Yi had never been interested in women and devoted himself to his career. But when he was forty years old, he met the love of his life.

She is Gong Zhu's mother, and the mysterious concubine of the Gong family.

Since Gong Yi had made all the arrangements, how could he possibly overlook this true love? So, where was this concubine when Madam Gong abandoned Gong Zhu?

Upon hearing Lu Mo's words, Gong Yi's expression changed drastically, and his breathing became rapid. Gongsun Yu was very worried and said, "Please stop talking and rest first."

Gong Yi shook his head. "No, I've kept this to myself for forty-eight years. It's time to say it."

Ye Qingqing gave him a few more acupuncture needles to calm his mind and regulate his breathing. Gong Yi calmed down a bit and slowly began to tell the secrets of the Gong family from forty-eight years ago, secrets that even Inspector Luo Luo didn't know.

“Pearl’s mother is called Sui’er. I was only eighteen when I met her. She was a student at Mary’s Girls’ School. I was twenty-two years older than her. I thought I would never be troubled by love in my life, but when I met Sui’er, I realized that I had overestimated myself.”

Gong Yi smiled bitterly, but a hint of sweetness could be seen in his expression, which showed that he truly loved Gong Zhu's mother. However, something must have happened between the two of them.

Everyone listened quietly, not wanting to disturb Gong Yi's recollection.

“I married Sui’er as my concubine. We had six very sweet years together. At that time, I was already a grandfather, but I was still like a young boy. Sui’er was lively, lovely, and understanding. She got along very well with everyone in the family. Everyone called her Mrs. Sui.”

Gong Yi's lips curled up, and a smile appeared in his eyes. Ye Qingqing squeezed Lu Mo's hand in confusion, becoming more and more confused as she listened. Since Madam Gong and Sui'er had no conflict, why did Madam Gong later target Gong Zhu?

Lu Mo shook his head slightly, telling her to listen attentively. He had a rough idea of ​​what was going on, but he couldn't be sure yet. He suggested that she listen to what Gong Yi had to say.

Gong Yi sighed and finally got to the point, "Later I found out that Sui'er's real name was Huizi. She was not Chinese, but a spy placed by the Hosokawa family to be by my side. It's ridiculous that I actually fell in love with her."

Lu Mo wasn't too surprised; he had guessed the same thing. Apart from betrayal, he couldn't think of any reason why two people in love would turn against each other.

"How did you find out?" Lu Mo asked.

Gong Yi's smile became even more bitter. "It was Sui'er who confessed it herself, and it was she who informed me of the Hosokawa family's conspiracy, which is why I had time to move the children."

Ye Qingqing couldn't help but ask, "Then this Lady Hui must have fallen in love with you too. That's why she betrayed the Hosokawa family."

As a specially trained spy, Huizi must have known how to perfectly prevent pregnancy, yet she willingly gave birth to Gongzhu, which shows that Gongyi was not the only one who truly loved her.

Gong Yi nodded, "I know, but I can't forgive her. My best brother died at her hands. I can't forgive this woman."

His best brother was the leader of the Green Gang. He provided the money, and his brother provided the manpower. They accomplished many great things. The heir of the Hosokawa family died at the hands of his brother.

His brother was very careful, and the Hosokawa family tried every means to take him down but failed. However, just one year before the family was wiped out, his brother was assassinated. He later learned that Keiko had learned of his brother's whereabouts from him and leaked it to the Hosokawa family.
