After Fan Xiaofan returned, his father in Beidu finally brought news of Zhou Xuehua.
Fan Yunyan spoke of this with a complicated expression.
After all, as children, hearing their mother say this all of a sudden will always leave them with a strange feeling.
Fan Xiaofan had originally put the matter aside after the Zhan family sent a letter saying that the issue had been resolved, but he never expected Zhou Xuehua to suddenly go mad...
"What exactly happened?"
Fan Xiaofan then explained in detail: "Xiaofan, you should know that our family is just a branch of the Fan family that has little presence. Even Grandpa and Grandma don't have much contact with the main branch of the Fan family. But Mom got in touch with them. When Dad asked about it, she fainted and was hospitalized. Later, she suddenly went crazy..."
"In his letter, Dad confessed that when Mom first started pretending to be crazy, he could tell she was just trying to escape, but he never expected what happened later..."
Thinking about it carefully, something doesn't seem right. Zhou Xuehua may have pretended to be crazy at first to avoid Fan Fu's questioning, but how did she actually go crazy later?
The brother and sister exchanged a glance, holding the letter. They both unconsciously swallowed, sensing something strange was amiss...
And who is that member of the main branch of the Fan family that Zhou Xuehua contacted? This whole thing seems like a case of "murder to cover up a crime and destroy evidence..."
Fan Xiaofan involuntarily shivered, somewhat relieved that Xiao Ningmeng had told him to leave as soon as possible. This person had gone too far, turning a perfectly normal person into a madman at the drop of a hat...
What about reverence for human dignity?
After listening to the siblings finish speaking, Lu Zhixi's delicate eyebrows furrowed: "Perhaps, staying here now is the safest option."
Regardless of the motives of those behind this, seeing that the person has now been sent to the countryside to do unambitious farming might put some people at ease. Perhaps these are just Lu Zhixi's overthinking.
However, the person behind this clearly didn't want Zhou Xuehua to reveal certain things. What were those things?
If it's related to the Fan family... then wouldn't Xiao Fan and her husband also be implicated?
It's like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, and you don't even know when you've disturbed it.
Fan Yunyan clenched his fist.
Fan Xiaofan frowned.
Lu Zhixi looked at the brother and sister, sighed softly, took her husband's hand, and looked at the brother and sister in front of her whose expressions were not quite right: "I know you must be unwilling to accept this, but it's like an ant trying to shake a tree. Even if you want to find out about this, you have to ensure your own safety first. Please promise me that."
Fan Xiaofan quickly came to her senses. After all, she wasn't the real Fan Xiaofan, and she didn't have any real mother-daughter feelings for Zhou Xuehua. Moreover, the times they had met hadn't been pleasant experiences. As an outsider, she felt that Zhou Xuehua had brought this upon herself.
However, for Fan Yunyan, no matter how much estrangement there had been between mother and son over the years, and no matter what Zhou Xuehua had done, hearing about this was still unpleasant, especially since there were people eyeing his family with hostility.
"Sister-in-law, we know. Dad's attitude is very clear. He wants us to stay in Qingcheng with peace of mind. He will find a way to investigate Mom's matter."
Lu Zhixi nodded, relieved to see the brother and sister come to their senses. She lowered her eyes, knowing some things were hard to say. Perhaps going mad was actually a good ending for Zhou Xuehua...
