"You, what do you mean?"
Cai Shizhen's heart skipped a beat, but he still pretended to be stupid.
"Okay, Mom, there's no one here, so stop pretending." Yao Jiali leaned over and whispered, "We already know what happened back then. After Mu Fu's biological mother hemorrhaged and passed out, you took the opportunity to replace your dead baby with hers..."
"You...how did you know that?!"
Upon hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Cai Shizhen was instantly shocked and her lips trembled.
When she was about to give birth, she was still gambling. After winning a big hand at the table, she fainted from excitement. As a result, she suffered a dystocia on the way to the hospital and the baby died in her womb.
She was afraid that her husband would get a divorce after he came back from racing and found out the truth. Coincidentally, a woman in her same room had died from heavy bleeding during childbirth and there were no relatives around. So she had a crooked idea and secretly switched the other woman's child with hers.
But she did this without anyone knowing. Apart from herself and the nurse, there was no way that a third person in the world could know about it!
My wife, how could they...
"My father-in-law told us before he died. He said that you said it yourself when you were drunk once." Yao Jiali said.
This damn old man!
Cai Shizhen gritted her teeth. Even after she died, they wouldn't let her rest in peace! Those people in the Song family were no good. If her ex-husband hadn't been seriously ill in bed, she wouldn't have found this old jerk!
I don’t know if this old man went out and talked nonsense everywhere?
Thinking of this, Cai Shizhen's heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his chest.
If this matter is reported, you will go to jail!
I am already old, how can I bear this kind of suffering?
Seeing her mother-in-law holding her chest and frowning, Yao Jiali smiled indifferently, asked someone to open a bottle of 1982 red wine, poured her a glass and handed it to her personally.
"Mom, you're really brave. You did something like this, and you still dared to bring us to find Mu Fu? Have you ever thought about the consequences if she knew the truth?"
After Cai Shizhen finished the wine in one gulp, his expression relaxed slightly.
"Isn't that what I have to do? If I hadn't been desperate..."
Thinking of the past, she put the cup heavily on the table and took a breath.
Ever since the old man died of drunkenness, who would pay off her massive gambling debt? Her son and daughter-in-law were also unpromising, lazy and gluttonous all day! If they didn't run away, would they wait for someone to come knocking on their door?
Seeing that his wife's words seemed to be blaming him, Cai Shizhen was shocked: "What? Could it be that what Daer did was related to what happened to me?"
Yao Jiali tossed her hair pretentiously and said, "Mom, now that things have come to this, I won't hide anything from you. I'll tell you the truth."
"Okay, okay, tell me quickly." Cai Shizhen urged anxiously.
"Actually, the company's trouble this time was caused by someone we hired." Yao Jiali looked at the people around her warily, and after finding that there was nothing unusual, she lowered her voice and spoke.
"What did you say?" Cai Shizhen was shocked. "So that batch of jade was stolen by you..."
"What do you mean by embezzlement? Mom, please don't say such harsh words." Yao Jiali played with the tall red wine glass in her hand and said slowly, "Tengda and I are in a difficult situation. We have no choice but to do this."
"I have no choice?"
"Yes, Mom, think about it, what would happen if Mu Fu knew what you did back then? Not only did you steal her away and separate her from her family, but you also abandoned her and married someone else before she was even a month old. And then that person became successful, and you came back to him, feeling at ease and enjoying his support..."
