Chapter 380 Why are you so confused?
Xu Muhua’s question stumped the second aunt!
Seeing that she didn’t answer for a long time, Xu Muhua was surprised, “Why didn’t the second aunt say anything? Is there something to hide?”
The second aunt first glanced at Yunniang quietly, and then showed an awkward smile, “It’s like this, we didn’t know about Yunniang and that person back then. It wasn’t until Yunniang got into trouble that we found out from the suicide note.”
“But at that time, Yunniang only mentioned such a person in her suicide note, but didn’t say what the person’s name was, where he lived, or what his situation was. And we were sad because of Yunniang’s affairs, and we were busy arranging Yunniang’s funeral, so… we didn’t track down that person.”
"After the incident, I thought that since the person was already dead, there was no need to investigate. So that's how it happened..."
Xu Muhua widened her eyes, somewhat incredulous, "So you didn't investigate anything, and you didn't even know who that person was?"
This... really makes people speechless!
My relatives committed suicide because of this person, so at least I have a clear understanding of the other party's situation and have a rough idea in my mind! How could my second aunt's family be so confused!
Xu Muhua's eyes were too obvious!
I didn't think there was anything wrong before, probably because of my evasive mentality. Everyone was sad and grief-stricken because of Yunniang's death, and my mother was seriously ill. My father also aged a lot in an instant, and he also lay in bed for a while before he gradually recovered.
She and her brothers didn't think there was any other possibility at the time. At first, she did want to investigate the whole matter, but when she thought that Yunniang was no longer around, investigating would be like opening up a wound that had not healed.
And if she investigated, she would definitely not be able to hide it from her parents, so she would give up if she hesitated.
Now that Mu Hua said this, the second aunt suddenly realized how stupid they were back then!
When she thought that Yunniang was most likely murdered, and because of their stupidity back then, the real murderer was at large, the second aunt wanted to slap herself a few times!
Seeing the second aunt's face full of guilt, Xu Muhua didn't say anything more.
"Do you still have Yunniang's things? Even the suicide note, did you keep them or destroy them?"
Second aunt said quickly: "Yunniang's things are still there, and the suicide note... the suicide note is also kept!"
But she never dared to look at it again, and just hid it in a box and pressed it at the bottom of the cabinet.
Xu Muhua pondered for a moment and suggested: "Second aunt, why don't you write a letter and I will ask someone to take it back as soon as possible and give it to your parents. Ask your parents to bring Yunniang's things and the suicide note over."
This is the best way.
Yunniang can't go back with the second aunt, and she can't get away now. Because if she is gone like this, it may take at least one month, and at most two months. It takes too much time, it is better to have someone bring the things to the capital directly.
And if that person hadn't died, he would most likely be an official in the capital now!
Second aunt thought about it for a moment and quickly made a decision, "Okay, let's do as you said. I'll write a letter now! You find a reliable person to pick up the things."
"Don't worry, second aunt, I will definitely send someone I trust to handle this matter."
Instead, the person involved, Yunniang, was left aside. Xu Muhua and second aunt seemed to have directly ignored her decision on this matter.
Song Baotong frowned as she listened to it.
She could understand and recognize every word that her eldest cousin and mother said, but she was not sure what these words meant when put together.
Yunniang...did her aunt commit suicide or was she murdered? Why did her mother say that she committed suicide and left a suicide note. But Yunniang swore that she was murdered?
Which one is true and which one is false?
Before, when she heard Yunniang say that she was murdered, she was also very angry. She thought about redressing Yunniang's grievances, finding the real murderer, and giving Yunniang justice. So that she could be at ease in reincarnation.
But now she suddenly hoped that what her mother said was true, and Yunniang really committed suicide.
Because if she was murdered, how self-blame, sadness, and regret would her mother and grandmother feel! Because of their momentary negligence, the murderer has been at large for so many years!
If it weren't for the eldest cousin, if she hadn't come to the capital, then they might not have met Yunniang at all, and would not know these things. It is unknown how long it will take for the truth of Yunniang's death to be found out.
The truth may never be revealed.
And will Yunniang be disappointed and sad?
The second aunt went to write a letter anxiously.
She did not tell the truth in the letter, but found another excuse. She said that she met a monk in the capital and asked the monk to help chant sutras. As a result, the monk said that Yunniang committed suicide, so he wanted her previous belongings and so on.
Because the truth of the matter is still unclear. In case of any accidents, telling them now would only be worrying in vain.
She thought it would be better to wait until the matter was clear, and then she would tell the truth to her family.
Second aunt wrote the letter in a few words.
"Muhua, do you think this is okay?"
She handed the letter to Xu Muhua for her to read.
Xu Muhua paused.
This is a family letter. It is not appropriate for her, a junior, to read it?
But seeing that her second aunt didn't care, she felt that it seemed unnecessary for her to care too much. So she took it frankly.
"Okay, Second Aunt is right to do so. The truth of the matter is still unclear, and there is no need to let others know now, which will only add to their worries and troubles."
Besides, Second Aunt's mother is old. She had already suffered a serious illness because of Yunniang's matter. I heard that she has been carefully taken care of in recent years and is safe and sound. If she knew about Yunniang's matter at this time, it would be hard to say what would happen.
No one can bear the consequences.
Xu Muhua folded the letter and said, "Second Aunt, I will arrange for someone to send the letter back as soon as possible."
"Then Yunniang..."
Second Aunt looked at Yunniang, her eyes full of reluctance. She
knew that Yunniang was a ghost now, but she still couldn't bear to let her go, and hoped that her sister could stay by her side forever.
She was really afraid that if Yunniang left, she would never have the chance to see her again!
Xu Muhua frowned as he looked at Yunniang, "It shouldn't be a big deal if Yunniang stays for a day or two, but you should not stay around for long. After all, humans and ghosts are different."
The second aunt was delighted, "One or two days is fine, one or two days is fine!"
"Yunniang, then can you stay? I'll tell you about the past, maybe you'll remember it after hearing it more!"
Yunniang didn't remember her, but she felt very close to her and wanted to get closer, so she nodded and agreed without hesitation.
The second uncle thought that they could go back to the yard and the house after they finished talking. He never expected that he would be kicked out!
