The next morning;
In order to give Jiang Luoning a strong aura, Wilding specially sent the Duke's Mansion's luxurious extended car today, and accompanied Jiang Luoning and others to the location sent by Chongguang.
The car was moving smoothly on the noisy road, but Ding Yi, who was driving, felt uneasy. Feeling the low pressure in the car, he looked at Ying Yi, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and did not have the courage to turn around and look at the big guys in the back seat.
When we were about to leave, we unexpectedly received a message from Han Tianyu in the imperial capital;
After interrogating the housekeeper, we learned some other things about Aunt Mei.
Aunt Mei goes to Country A every year, not only to get the poison developed by Mrs. Daisy, but also to secretly visit Dong Jiaxue.
All of this was done behind the backs of Helian Rui and Chen Ziqiu, and the housekeeper kept covering for the woman to prevent others from discovering her whereabouts. Although this behavior was not out of his willingness, Aunt Mei kept threatening to take care of Dong Jiaxue, which made the housekeeper and him stand on the same front.
Looking back, their acquaintance and alliance began when Chen Ziqiu was about to give birth.
At that time, Chen Ziqiu was secretly taken to Country A by Helian Rui on the pretext of resting the baby. After Dong Jiaxue was born, she was always taken care of by Aunt Mei. Chen Ziqiu and Helian Rui did not pay much attention to this until Dong Siqing was born two months later, and then she accompanied Chen Ziqiu and the two little girls back to China.
The housekeeper was deeply hurt by the death of Dong Jiaxue's mother and wanted to leave the organization, but was rejected by Helian Rui. He made up a story that the girl was killed by her father, which successfully aroused the housekeeper's hatred. Later, because he was worried that Dong Jiaxue's identity would be discovered, he arranged for them to come to the imperial capital together to assist Aunt Mei in her subsequent actions.
Because she loved Dong Jiaxue's mother at that time, she loved the newborn girl as well, and she liked her even more, so she agreed to the man's arrangement without hesitation.
After arriving in the imperial capital, she and Aunt Mei sent Dong Jiaxue, who was just three months old, to an orphanage to ensure that Dong Siqing could live a stable life as the eldest daughter of the Dong family.
Over the years, all the communication between Chen Ziqiu and Helian Rui was relayed by the housekeeper and Aunt Mei. Knowing the housekeeper's feelings for Dong Jiaxue's mother, and the fact that men had repeatedly hunted down the girl's father over the years, Helian Rui was very reassured and never suspected anything over the years.
But what Helian Rui overlooked was that the housekeeper also loved Dong Jiaxue very much, so all the secret guards followed orders and paid special attention to the girl. This was why Lillian got what she deserved. Lillian was sent directly to the police station, and Chen Ziqiu's refusal to give in was actually all done by the housekeeper and had nothing to do with Helian Rui.
The housekeeper didn't know why Aunt Mei took such good care of Dong Siqing. Since it had little to do with him, he never asked. He covered up for Aunt Mei so much only because Aunt Mei was always by Dong Jiaxue's side, allowing him to easily get any news about the girl.
Han Tianyu also asked about the secret room mentioned by Yu Wenxi.
But what surprised everyone was that, according to the housekeeper, the so-called secret room was just a strictly controlled ancestral hall, where the spirit tablets of Helian Rui's mother and Chen Zirong were enshrined. Every time Aunt Mei went there, she was there to pay homage on behalf of Chen Ziqiu, and that was all.
However, Han Tianyu still expressed his doubts about this point when he recounted it.
He felt that the ancestral hall could not be just for worship. If it did not hide some secret, why would they go to so much trouble to have people guard it, and why even Yuwenxi, who was in cahoots with him, was not qualified to enter.
After hearing this, Fu Linxiao did not express any opinion, but he had already decided to go there in person to find out what was going on. After all, Helian Rui's house had now been sealed off by Wilding's men.
From the housekeeper, everyone also learned that Dong Jiaxue's lavish lifestyle was not funded by the Dong family or Chen Ziqiu, but was all done by Aunt Mei in secret. It was also Aunt Mei's idea that allowed Dong Jiaxue to return to the imperial capital.
At the beginning, Helian Rui had already informed Aunt Mei about the arrangement between Chen Xu and Lillian, but the woman did not convey the man's order immediately. Instead, she fanned the flames and brought Dong Jiaxue back to the imperial capital. Later, she informed Chen Ziqiu, who was still in the position of Mrs. Dong, of Helian Rui's marriage arrangement.
The housekeeper was confused about this, but after Aunt Mei repeatedly assured him that it would not threaten Dong Siqing's position, the housekeeper finally agreed. However, only Aunt Mei herself knew the specific reason for doing so.
When Jiang Luoning learned about this, he fell into deep thought; he always felt that there was some unspeakable secret hidden in it.
Why is Aunt Mei overly concerned about Dong Jiaxue, and what is her purpose in bringing the girl back to the capital?
What role she played in this became even more confusing.
However, the housekeeper did not provide any more clues about Aunt Mei's current whereabouts; after all, the relationship between them was so frequent because of Dong Siqing and Helian Rui.
Wilding didn't know much about the Dong family's grievances, but from the moment he met them, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right. However, when he saw the obviously unhappy expressions of Fu Linxiao and Jiang Luoning, he suppressed his doubts.
Jiang Yichen was completely confused. He had just learned about the hardships the little girl had experienced in her previous life because of Helian Rui, and now he received so many ambiguous messages. He felt very complicated. He didn't know what the little girl had encountered when he was not in the imperial capital, which made her so anxious because of any disturbance.
The atmosphere in the car became increasingly depressing, so quiet that it seemed as if time had stood still.
Yingyi and Dingyi just wanted to reach their destination as soon as possible, otherwise if they continued like this, they would be afraid that if they accidentally made any noise, the big guys would turn their attention to them.
