Mrs. Du also knew that she couldn't afford to offend the person in front of her, so she could only stand in front of him honestly and prepare to reply in a polite manner.
"I heard that your sister was engaged to the Xue family, which owns a paper shop. That family is well-off. Have you ever been jealous?" Xiao Cunyu asked bluntly.
Madam Du was completely bewildered. "Why would you be jealous? My sister is beautiful and kind-hearted. Aside from... aside from my aunt's humble background, she has no flaws. The eldest lady of the Xue family also knew that my sister was a good housekeeper. Even though she knew there was a gap in social status, she still personally came to arrange the marriage..."
However, I thought everyone was happy, but unexpectedly there were complications.
"I heard that your sister has an affair with someone?" Xiao Cunyu asked again.
"No! It's absolutely impossible. I live with my sister every day and have never heard her mention any man other than the young man from the Xue family. My sister is determined to get married. The Xue family and the Xue family members have misunderstood her!" Mrs. Du reacted violently.
"But how could others know about your sister's birthmark? If she didn't have a private affair, then it was you or your mother who revealed it?" Xiao Cunyu said again.
Upon hearing this, Madam Du became anxious: "No! Really not! Birthmarks are such a private matter, how could we possibly tell anyone about it! I... I can't explain it, but we didn't do it..."
Mrs. Du was so anxious that she gasped for breath.
The husband beside her saw it and quickly helped her to carry it on her back: "I believe it! Don't worry, it's okay, it's okay..."
"Sir, my wife was deeply traumatized by what happened back then. She feels very uncomfortable whenever someone mentions it these days. I hope you can forgive me... We don't want this silver, you can take it back, but we really can't take back what you said..." As he said this, the man was actually preparing to close his stall.
He really loves his wife.
These two people are destined to be together. They came late, but just right. They will surely support each other for their entire lives, inseparable, and will get better and better.
Xiao Cunyu stood up, looked at Madam Du, and said with a smile, "This young master did suspect that you had done something wrong to your sister, but now it seems that you have been wronged. Don't worry, I am here to help your sister clear her name. I will do my best to get to the bottom of what happened back then, and I hope you will discuss this with your mother when you return. If you find any clues, please remember to tell me."
Xiao Cunyu did not take back the silver and turned away.
After walking for a while, Xiao Du's husband caught up with her and stuffed the silver back into her hand. "If you can prove my aunt's innocence, we should thank you very much. My wife just urged me to come here and tell you that besides her and my mother-in-law, there is another person who knows about this birthmark."
Xiao Cunyu thought for a moment: "Midwife?"
"Yes, yes, yes! That's what my wife said too. The midwife's surname is Chen, and she's very famous in our area. My wife asked her before, but the midwife didn't admit it, and it's not good to keep pestering her." The man said again.
The Du family had already fallen into the abyss, so it would be even worse to throw dirty water on the midwife.
Besides, even if the midwife did it, how could she possibly admit it?
"I see." Xiao Cunyu smiled, "You married a good wife."
"Yes, yes... My wife is soft-hearted. If it weren't for those things that happened earlier, a good girl like her would never have been mine. My father-in-law's family are also reasonable and good people. They are very good to my wife and me. I will definitely treat her well..." Without Xiao Cunyu's explanation, the man became beautiful on his own.
