Chapter 376 Yunniang committed suicide After

the joke, the second aunt asked, "Does Muhua want to see me for something?"

Otherwise, she wouldn't have sent Baotong away.

The second aunt thought Xu Muhua wanted to tell her about Baotong.

Baotong had caused a lot of trouble since she came to the Duke of Cheng's mansion, and Yicong had told her when he wrote back. No one knew what kind of child they had better than them. They

couldn't blame others, and they weren't so thick-skinned. They could only blame them and their husbands for spoiling Baotong's habits.

So the second aunt thought Xu Muhua was going to "complain" to her about her daughter, and she was ready.

Xu Muhua sat down, "Second aunt, this is what I mean. I have a scroll here. I want you to look at the person in the scroll and see if you recognize him."

Second aunt was stunned for a moment, "Recognize him?"

"Yes, I think maybe second aunt, or my uncle, may know this person."

Second aunt glanced at the scroll she placed on the table and responded readily, "Okay, I'll see if it's someone I know."

Xu Muhua slowly opened the scroll and showed the painting of the lady painted by Feng Shaoqing.

Second aunt was just curious at first, and her sight kept changing slightly with her movements. Until the whole scroll was opened and everything was shown.

Her eyes widened unconsciously, staring at the person in the painting tightly, without blinking, as if she was in a trance.

Xu Muhua waited for a while and saw that she still didn't respond, so she couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Second aunt? What's the matter, do you know the person in the scroll?" Second aunt

stared at her blankly at first, then her eyes moved, and she was suddenly excited, and grabbed her hand tightly, "Muhua, you...how did you get this scroll, do you know the person in it?"

This...wasn't she asking second aunt if she knew Yunniang? Why is second aunt asking her now?

But does this prove that second aunt does know Yunniang?

Xu Muhua was delighted.

"Second aunt, do you know her?"

Xu Muhua pointed at the painting.

Second aunt stared at the painting in a daze for a while, tears suddenly fell, and her voice choked.

She covered her lips and turned her head away, as if she couldn't bear to look directly at the person in the painting.

It seems that he really knows Yunniang, and there seems to be some story.

After confirming this, Xu Muhua was no longer in a hurry.

After the second aunt calmed down a little, she handed over a handkerchief.

The second aunt took the handkerchief and wiped it, then turned around and looked at Xu Muhua with red eyes, her eyes flashing with complex emotions that were difficult to understand.

"Muhua, you...you tell me, where did you get this scroll? Do you know the person in the painting?"

Xu Muhua nodded, "Second aunt, I do know the person in the painting--"

The second aunt interrupted her excitedly: "But this is impossible! Yunniang has been dead for so many years, and even your mother has never seen Yunniang, how could you..."

"So, second aunt, who is Yunniang? Only if you tell me who Yunniang is, how you know Yunniang, and what is your relationship with Yunniang, can I answer your question just now!"

Second aunt opened and closed her mouth several times before she seemed to recall some painful memories, closed her eyes, and her lips trembled, "Yunniang... Yunniang is my sister, my real sister, we are twin sisters!"

Xu Muhua was shocked, "What? Yunniang is... She is your twin sister? This is not right, second aunt, you and Yunniang don't look alike!"

Not at all, otherwise she wouldn't have noticed anything.

Second aunt smiled bitterly, "Silly child, not all twin sisters look exactly the same, some don't even look alike at all. Yunniang and I are like this."

She and Yunniang don't look alike at all. Not to mention they were twins, when they were little, if no one told them, no one could tell they were sisters.

She and Yunniang, one looks like the father, the other looks like the mother. At that time, everyone laughed and said, how could they look so alike. One looks like the father, the other looks like the mother, it's fair!

"Second aunt, how did Yunniang...how did Yunniang die?"

When talking about her sister, even after so many years, the second aunt would still feel sad and upset.

"Yunniang committed suicide."

Xu Muhua was shocked again.

"Not long after we came of age, our family started arranging marriages for us. At that time, I knew your second uncle, and there was something going on between us... The people in our family knew about it and agreed."

"It was Yunniang. She said at first that she didn't want to get married so early and wanted to stay at home with our parents more. She said that I seemed to be getting married early, so she would stay at home and take care of my filial piety on my behalf."

"We didn't doubt her. Later we found out that it wasn't that Yunniang didn't want to get married, but that she had already had someone in her heart, but the other person was of low status. Yunniang knew that our parents would not agree, so she kept it a secret."

"She thought that she would tell her family about this matter after the other party passed the imperial examination and was eligible to marry her. But she didn't expect that later... the man went to take the imperial examination, and the news came back that he accidentally fell off a cliff on the way, and his body was nowhere to be found!"

"Yunniang was so stubborn that she couldn't get over it and followed him!"

Xu Muhua was full of questions.

No... why is what the second aunt said so different from what Yunniang said herself?

Although Yunniang said that she didn't remember anything before she was alive, she even forgot what happened before she died. But she remembered that she was killed by someone, so she was full of resentment, refused to reincarnate, and thought about revenge for herself.

How could it be suicide?

"Second aunt, why... do you say Yunniang committed suicide?"

Xu Muhua asked curiously.

Second aunt was immersed in painful memories and didn't notice Xu Muhua's expression. "Yunniang left a suicide note. It was only after seeing the suicide note that we realized that she had someone in her heart and had even been exchanging letters with him for several years..." Suicide

note?

Seeing Second aunt like this, Xu Muhua felt that she didn't seem to be lying or hiding something. It was obvious that she really thought Yunniang committed suicide.

But Yunniang was sure that she was killed by someone.

If this is true, then the suicide note mentioned by the second aunt may be a forgery!

Since it is a forgery, the most likely person is the one who killed Yunniang!

Without thinking too much, the first person Xu Muhua thought of was the man of humble origin that Yunniang liked.

Based on her experience of reading so many novels, plays, and TV shows, it is possible that this man passed the imperial examination. However, he climbed up the social ladder in the capital, and he knew that it would be difficult to leave Yunniang, and he didn't want to damage his reputation.
