Chapter 1159 Aunt Hong's Hesitation
Meng Pei and Song Xin had been married for ten years, and Meng Pei learned a lot about the Song family from Song Xin.
Song Xin didn't have a good life in the Song family, but Song Qing was the only person in the family who showed her kindness. He was also the only family member Song Xin cared about. Although she didn't approve of his later elopement, she was also thankful that he left.
Who would have thought that he would suddenly return to the capital a few months before Gongqiu took action against the Song family?
Of all the Song family members, Song Qing and his family of three are the truly innocent ones.
Now that he knows his descendants are still alive and right in front of him, Meng Pei can't just ignore it.
Especially the child in front of me, who doesn't seem to be doing well.
Aunt Hong didn't know who Meng Pei was, but judging from his demeanor, he seemed like someone who could make decisions. Especially since Meng Yunzheng didn't object after he finished speaking, and no one else offered any suggestions.
Aunt Hong originally didn't want to talk about the bead, but seeing everyone in the main room staring at her intently, as if the child would have to take it home on her own if she didn't explain clearly, she felt compelled to speak.
She could only grit her teeth and say, "Fine, I'll tell you the truth. These wooden beads were probably left behind by the murderer who killed the Song family."
"What did you say?" Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu exchanged a glance, implying that the bead was related to Gongqiu.
Aunt Hong hesitated for a moment before saying, "Everyone says the fire was an accident, and the authorities have determined it was caused by the Song family's improper use of fire. But my husband and I both find it suspicious. Even if it was an accident, it's impossible that everyone died in their sleep without anyone escaping, right? The Song family must have offended someone and been silenced, and my sister-in-law was implicated as well..."
She wanted to complain a bit, but remembering that the person in front of her was Song Xin's son, she didn't continue. She just said, "We're just ordinary people. We're already trembling with fear just to protect Dazhuang. How could we dare to overturn the case and find the murderer? The person who killed the entire Song family must have some power. We can't fight against them."
Bringing Dazhuang home was the most risky thing they could do.
However, it's unclear whether Dazhuang became mentally impaired or because he was only a little over a year old at the time and the other party felt he posed no threat, so the child grew up peacefully.
Aunt Hong pointed to Gouwa's tightly clenched little hand, "The wooden bead he's holding now is the one he was holding when we rescued Dazhuang. I was thinking that the Song family died mysteriously, and Dazhuang was hidden by his father or mother. When disaster strikes, parents would always try to leave some clues about the murderer, right? That bead must be related to the murderer."
That was her guess, and her husband said that the bead looked quite valuable, probably made from high-quality wood. The Song family was so poor, where would they get the money?
Aunt Hong originally intended to throw away the wooden beads, after all, they were a dangerous thing, and what if they brought trouble to her family?
But her husband refused and simply hid the wooden beads.
"About ten years later, we had almost forgotten about the bead when we suddenly found one hanging around Dazhuang's neck. We don't know when Dazhuang found the wooden bead, but when we tried to put it away, Dazhuang got upset."
Fortunately, although Dazhuang is simple-minded, he is also obedient.
They said that no one should see the bead, so Dazhuang didn't carry it with him and instead kept it in his room.
