Xia Xian was tricked into marriage; her husband died shortly after she married him. Soft-hearted, she then married his younger brother, accepting the tradition of simultaneously serving both branch...
Chapter 147 A shocking case of misunderstanding!
"right."
"Yue Hangyi's family is well-off. Her family didn't want her to miss out on this partner. They thought she wouldn't find anyone better, so they advised her to give up on me and get engaged to Yue Hangyi."
"I had no interest in her in the first place. I just accompanied Yue Hang to see her twice. After I found out that she had feelings for me, I stopped seeing her. She also realized that there was no possibility for her and me, so she agreed to get engaged."
Quan Ruifeng recounted what happened that year in earnest, looking at Xia Xian with reluctance and confusion in his eyes.
It happened back then, and no one actually knows the truth.
"However, although she was somewhat reluctant when she got engaged, feelings can be cultivated. The two of them became more and more close through correspondence, and she also accepted Yue Hangyi, so she came to me and wanted me to take her to the army to meet Yue Hangyi and give him a surprise. Yue Hangyi's birthday is coming soon."
"You can't just join the army if you want to. I rejected her, and she had an accident on the way back and drowned."
"We can rule out murder, but it's hard to tell whether it was suicide or accidental drowning."
"She had a habit of writing a diary. After she left, her parents found it in her room. In one of the entries, she wrote that she liked me and that she didn't want to marry Yue Hangyi. She wanted to elope with me, and if I didn't want to take her away, she would rather die. She felt that her parents forced her to get engaged to Yue Hangyi, and that no one loved her. The only thing they loved was Yue Hangyi's family."
"She wrote a diary like this. She also wrote me a letter asking me to meet her alone before the accident. It happened to be that day. After we separated, she drowned and died. All the evidence pointed to me."
"Although I was ruled out as the murderer, no one believed me. Everyone thought she committed suicide because she didn't want to get married. I seduced my childhood friend's fiancée and didn't take responsibility, which led to her suicide."
"Sometimes I regret why I avoided suspicion and didn't send her home in person. Or maybe if I had agreed to take her to Yue Hangyi's unit, perhaps this accident wouldn't have happened."
Quan Ruifeng said sadly that this accident was unexpected and no one could have thought of it or accept it.
Yue Hangyi blamed himself for clinging to her and putting so much psychological pressure on her, causing her to prefer death to being away from him. He also hated Quan Ruifeng for being so attractive. If he wasn't so good-looking, how could he have attracted such a young girl that she would commit suicide if she couldn't be with him?
Yes, the little girl’s family and Yue’s family all believed that she committed suicide, because it was such a coincidence and no one thought it was an accident.
In short, because the last person he saw was Quan Ruifeng, they all blamed everything on Quan Ruifeng. After all, the dead are gone, and people can't blame themselves, so they can only blame him.
Because of this, Quan Ruifeng broke up with Yue Hangyi, and the two never had any contact since then. He did not join the army, but instead joined the Public Security Bureau. He wanted to avoid Yue Hangyi and also wanted to find out the truth of that year and clear the grievances of thousands of people who had been wronged.
This is the reason why Quan Ruifeng devoted himself to his career. If he had not met Xia Xian and happened to be attracted to her, perhaps he would have been like Yue Hangyi and never got married in his life. After all, he had a psychological trauma.
"I'm sorry, Xia Xian. Do you mind if I haven't told you about this? I accept any emotion you have. If you want to blame me, you can..."
Quan Ruifeng spoke in a low voice, and his deep and sharp eyes dimmed a lot.
Xia Xian hugged him without waiting for him to finish speaking!
"I believe you. How could I blame you? This matter is not your fault, but you have been wronged because of it. Who would bring up these things for no reason? It is disrespectful to both you and her."
Xia Xian hugged him tightly, trying to give him comfort and strength. She also pressed her fair face against his chest and listened to his sad heartbeat.
In this matter, the most innocent people are Quan Ruifeng and the little girl. What right do Yue Hangyi and the others have to blame Quan Ruifeng? Even if the little girl still likes Quan Ruifeng in the end, she committed suicide because of the engagement. Aren’t Yue Hangyi and her family the biggest culprits? If they didn’t force the marriage, how could these things happen!
However, the most important thing now is not to shirk responsibility or find out who has the problem, but the truth. They all need the truth!
Otherwise, it would be bad for the girl to die with the reputation of committing suicide after failing to elope, and Quan Ruifeng would also have to endure constant abuse and attacks.
"Didn't you say she had the habit of keeping a diary? Why did she write about her love for you, but then her mood changed and she didn't write anything else? Is there some diary that we haven't found yet?"
Xia Xian asked this most crucial question, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes staring at Quan Ruifeng, hoping to get some good news, but there was none.
"No, I looked for it myself, and there was nothing."
Quan Ruifeng shook his head. If she really left a few words about her mood change in the diary, it would not be the case that no one believed what he said.
No one would believe that she had written down her love for him in her diary a few days ago, but only half a month later she had figured it out, fell in love with Yue Hangyi, and even asked him to take her to the army to meet Yue Hangyi.
In other words, even if she wanted to see Yue Hangyi, why did she have to ask him to take her there? Couldn't she ask someone else?
Yue Hangyi didn't believe such words. He also knew that Quan Ruifeng was not the kind of person who would deliberately seduce his brother's fiancée. He just wanted to get the truth from Quan Ruifeng, even if he had to hear him say that the girl wanted him to elope with her. He just wanted to know the truth.
But Quan Ruifeng was telling the truth, and he didn't believe it. He felt that Quan Ruifeng had been insisting on saying this, and he must be hiding something big. Maybe his fiancée's death was related to him, so the two of them really broke up and had reached the point where they would never have any contact with each other again. Even the parents of the two families became hostile to each other and no longer visited each other.
After hearing this, Xia Xian felt troubled. It turned out that the matter was so complicated. No wonder it had not been resolved after so many years.
Now this has become an unsolved case.
Xia Xian tried desperately to recall what she knew in her previous life, to see if she could find any useful information to help Quan Ruifeng.
She knew Yue Hangyi, so she was so surprised to see him just now.
I just saw it in the newspaper.
Yue Hangyi was involved in a case and was mistakenly believed to be the murderer. He was imprisoned for more than 20 years before the truth was revealed. He was also required to compensate for his losses. This was probably the first serious miscarriage of justice, so it was widely reported in the news at the time, and Xia Xian knew about it.
It also contains a comparison of the photo of him when he was young and the photo of him after suffering so many years of torture. It is particularly tragic and impressive, and it also reports on his life.
What is written on it?
Wait! I think this was mentioned before!
