When her daughter asked her question, Jiang Yuping directly avoided the question.
She shouted loudly at Qiuyue:
"Go away, what little Sherlock Holmes? You like watching Sherlock Holmes yourself, don't you? Figure it out yourself, I'm going to cook."
After saying that, he added:
"Tell your sister Qiushui to go downstairs and find your brother Qiushou and sister Qiuchan. I don't know where they've run off to play again. With things so chaotic outside lately, you shouldn't let them go out and run around."
Jiang Yuping spoke in a rather loud voice, which surprised Qiuyue once again.
Qiuyue looked at her mother, who was pouting, her face full of incomprehension.
"Mom, Qiushou and Qiuchan are on summer vacation. How can you keep them locked up at home every day? Besides, they're not little kids. What are they afraid of?"
"Alright, alright, this is none of your business! You're all such a handful."
Jiang Yuping said to her daughter in an annoyed tone.
Qiuyue gave a somewhat disappointed "hmm" and then left the kitchen.
Jiang Yuping looked up at her daughter's beautiful back and thought to herself:
"Qiuyue, how are you going to explain this to your mother? You asked me who the murderer is. Fine, I'll tell you, the murderer is your mother, me! You still want your mother to deduce and analyze? How am I supposed to deduce and analyze for you?"
This is Jiang Yuping's inner monologue at this moment.
These inner thoughts also made her feel unusually stressed and helpless.
Although she has a good mental fortitude, she can disguise herself so well in the clinic that others can't see any flaws and she appears very calm. Even when facing the old policeman Shao Jian in the guesthouse, she can handle it with ease.
However, she was constantly in a state of tension, anxiety, and terror.
She knew that the truth would eventually come out, and she understood that one day, the truth would be revealed and the police would uncover her identity as the murderer.
Since murdering Liu Han, Jiang Yuping has had to pretend to be a normal person during the day, but she can't fall asleep at night.
She constantly thought that if her crimes were exposed, it would be her duty to be punished, but how would her five children face and accept it? How would they continue their studies and lives?!
Furthermore, how will they face the surprised, or even discriminatory, gazes of the cadres and employees of the Hongqi Factory?
Autumn Harvest and Autumn Cicada: How will two school children face their classmates and teachers?
Imagine the shock and pressure that a murderer mother and a spy father would bring to the children's hearts. The image of the kind and beautiful mother and the gentle and refined father in the children's hearts would collapse and disintegrate in an instant.
Blue flames burned at the bottom of the pot.
The water droplets in the iron pot simmered for a few seconds and then quickly evaporated.
Jiang Yuping picked up the oil bottle and poured some rapeseed oil into the pot.
The golden rapeseed oil bubbled up in the pot, with tiny, visible bubbles rising to the surface.
Jiang Yuping placed four crucian carp into the pot one by one, and they immediately made a sizzling sound.
One of the crucian carp seemed to struggle and rolled its eyes at Jiang Yuping.
However, after only ten seconds, the fish stopped moving and showed no reaction.
Looking at the four crucian carp being fried in the pot, Jiang Yuping felt as if she were being tormented.
Over the past few days, her soul, like these fish, has been constantly roasted on a fire, emitting silent screams and groans. However, the children are unaware of this, and apart from her husband Qiu Jingwen, no one understands the fear and anxiety in her heart.
Qiu Yang and Qiu Jingwen entered the house one after the other.
As soon as Qiu Yang entered the house, she saw her mother busy in the kitchen and called out in a clear voice.
"mom!".
Qiu Yang's magnetic baritone voice was very penetrating and struck Jiang Yuping's heart.
"Son, you're back!"
Jiang Yuping responded, tears welling up in her eyes instantly.
She didn't look towards her son, but instead focused her gaze on the fish pot, turning the four crucian carp over with a spatula.
If she looked at her son, she worried that he would notice the tears in her eyes.
Qiu Yang walked to the kitchen door, looked at his beautiful mother, and said:
"Mom, you've prepared so many dishes! What's the occasion? Dad called and insisted I come home."
Jiang Yuping still did not look up.
She looked at the fish in the pot and, seemingly unrelated to the question, replied:
"Son, you came back with your dad, right? Go to the living room and get yourself some water. There's a lot of oil and smoke in the kitchen, so chat with your dad for a while. We'll eat when I've finished cooking."
"Mom, do you need my help?"
"No need for your help. Qiuyue has already picked and washed all the vegetables. It's rare for her to come home, so you can just sit back and wait for dinner."
As Jiang Yuping spoke, tears welled up in her eyes and almost spilled down her cheeks.
Faced with her eldest son, who was already taller than her, Jiang Yuping once thought that if something happened to her and her husband, her eldest son Qiuyang, who was like a father to her, would be the pillar of the family. The family would have to rely on Qiuyang to lead his siblings through all the hardships. In this process, Qiuyang and Qiuyue's jobs might be affected. How would the five siblings survive in the future?
Qiu Yang didn't mind that his mother didn't want to help; after all, this was his home, and there was no need to be polite with his mother.
"Mom, where are Qiushou and Qiuchan? I haven't heard them."
“Those two went out and went crazy. I sent Qiushui downstairs to look for them. Your sister Qiuyue is probably in her room.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiuyue walked over and hugged her brother Qiuyang from behind.
"elder brother!".
Qiuyue called out affectionately.
"Hey, hey, let go, let go! You're a young lady, you're already at work, what kind of behavior is it to hug your brother like this?"
