When Shen Yaning and Si Hanting returned home, she lay on the sofa with a tired look on her face.
Some truths should probably be kept in your heart and never known.
Only when the truth is revealed, do you realize that it’s not that you don’t care, you’re just pretending.
Si Hanting looked at Shen Yaning distressedly and said softly: "Is there something on your mind? If you don't mind, you can tell me. I will always be your listener."
Shen Yaning looked up at him and smiled bitterly: "Nothing."
"Was it Madam Xiao who caused you to be replaced?"
Shen Yaning was slightly stunned: "Can you guess this?"
"You've already questioned her, so you can guess."
"Yes." Shen Yaning sat up: "At the beginning, there were three children born on the same day in the hospital, all of them were girls. Zhang Sheng's daughter had a congenital disease, so he had no money to exchange the children. Perhaps he had some knowledge and knew the remaining two families, so he exchanged his own child with the Bai family and made an exchange with the Bai family.
By some strange coincidence, the nurse also mixed up the handbags while showering, and swapped my child with the Bai family's child who had been swapped. The Shen family's child then became sick. I ended up at the Bai family, and Bai Qianqian stayed at the Zhang family.
In just two or three days, Madam Xiao found someone to kidnap and sell me away. Unfortunately, the child from the Zhang family died on the way. So, at first, when I returned to the Shen family, Madam Xiao strongly opposed it, saying that I could not be a member of the Shen family. But she had to admit it when the evidence was in front of her.
Zhang Sheng didn't acknowledge me because he'd been keeping tabs on me and realized I wasn't his daughter at all, and I didn't have a heart condition... But he also knew his daughter hadn't received treatment and must have died. That's why he kept Bai Qianqian by his side to comfort himself.
It sounds so ridiculous, and it would never be played like this in TV dramas, but it happened to her.
Si Hanting remained silent. He didn't know what to say, but the mere fact that Madam Xiao had someone kidnap her was enough to make him angry.
If this hadn't happened, if the nurse hadn't made the mistake, if the exchange hadn't happened, he and Ningning might have been childhood sweethearts, always in love...
"Ningning, this matter is over." Si Hanting promised: "I will not let those people go. I will get back for you all the suffering you have endured."
Including the nurse...
Shen Yaning shook her head: "Mrs. Xiao is already in a mental hospital. As for the nurse, she has passed away. There is no one to be held responsible." As for Zhang Sheng, he has become like that. Moreover, he did not touch the Shen family's child...
Si Hanting didn't know what to say, but he knew that he was not the only one who needed to know the truth.

Xiao Qing'er woke up on the second day. Her eyes were dull and lifeless...
"Qing'er..."
"Yanting, I'm fine, don't worry about me." Xiao Qing'er's tone was a little cold.
"Qing'er, if you..."
"Yanting, I'm really fine. I know what you're worried about, I just can't accept it. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
He is almost 50 years old, but he has only just seen everything clearly. How stupid was he before?
"That's good. You have to know that we will always be husband and wife and a family. We also have six children, okay?" As for Shen Qingqing, he didn't know what to say.
"Is Qingqing awake?"
"She's awake. Ningning said she woke up when Madam Xiao came yesterday, so she heard everything."
Xiao Qing'er was stunned. She didn't expect this result.
"If you know, then you know. Even if you didn't know yesterday, you would have known it sooner or later."
It's all a matter of time. She won't hide anything she should know.
"Do you want to go see her?" Shen Yanting asked softly.
"Let's do it later. I don't want to go." Xiao Qing'er said coldly. She didn't know how to face Shen Qingqing yet. Let's talk about it later.
"Let Zefan and Xiaoming go and take a look. After all, they are the adopted daughters of the Shen family."
"Don't worry, Xiao Jie is there, and she can understand." Shen Yanting said gently.
"All right."
Shen Yanting stood up, sat at the head of the bed, held Xiao Qing'er in his arms, and patted her back gently.
Sometimes, silent companionship may be the best way.
On the other side, in the mental hospital.
"Fang Qin, it's time for the injection." the nurse called.
Fang Qin was Madam Xiao's full name. Since she married into the Xiao family, she had always been respectfully called Madam Xiao. Now that she was in the mental hospital, no one would respect her. Furthermore, Shen Zefan had already made it clear that her days inside would not be easy.
However, considering that he is an old man, I still have to be a little cautious when taking action.
"I don't want injections, I'm not sick, I'm not sick!"
"Xiao Qing'er is not my daughter. I don't have a daughter like that!"
"It's all the Shen family who owes my daughter. They owe my daughter!"
The nurse shook her head and said expressionlessly, "It seems that he is still seriously ill. Give him an injection."
She called a few helpers, pressed Xiao Qin to the bed, and sedated her...
"Let me out, I'm not sick..."
She kept shouting, but no one paid any attention to her...

Shen Zefan went directly to Nanshan Villa and found Si Hanting.
I understood what my sister said yesterday.
"That's what happened. Ningning's disappearance wasn't an accident. It was done intentionally by Old Madam Xiao so that you could adopt Shen Qingqing. This was a brilliant plan."
Chen Zefan slammed his palm on the table, furious: "Why on earth did she do this! Isn't Ningning her granddaughter? Aren't we family? Why on earth did she do this!?
I can understand the preference for sons over daughters, but who can understand why she treats one daughter so well and treats the other like this?
Si Hanting said coldly: "Have you ever thought that maybe Aunt Xiao might not really be her daughter?"
Shen Zefan denied it bluntly: "Impossible."
"My mother and Shen Qingqing are related, which means that my mother and Xiao Ling'er must be a family, and my mother must be a member of the Xiao family."
"So how do I explain this now? What kind of fault could make a mother not love her own child and yet still take it for granted that she can have whatever she wants? Aside from not being their biological child, I can't think of any other connection."
Shen Zefan shook his head, still not believing such an assumption.
Such an assumption does not exist, does not exist at all, and is impossible!
