Chapter 37 The Truth
I guess it was because Aunt Jia forced me to walk that I couldn't stand steadily, so I fell.
Mrs. Jia is so vicious that she can do such a thing to her own husband.
If her grandfather's death was really related to Aunt Jia, then it would definitely not be a simple matter.
I'm afraid this contradiction cannot be resolved.
"It's okay. He just groaned in pain. You know how stubborn he is. Fu Shushu didn't let him walk, but he insisted on walking, and ended up getting hurt like that."
Aunt Jia said this with a look of self-blame on her face, "It's all my fault. If I could see, I would have helped him."
If Liang Huanxue didn't know her true face, she might be moved by her behavior.
But now that she has discovered it, she can only sigh in her heart: What a great acting skill!
He could even fool her, and he did it for so long.
"Auntie, aren't your eyes getting better? You'll be able to see again soon." Liang Huanxue watched her finish the cake and drink the water, with a smile on her lips.
She put powder made from the truth-telling fruit in the water. Once Aunt Jia drank it, she would have to tell the truth to her and could not lie.
"Then I'll take your good words." Aunt Jia's face suddenly changed after she finished saying this. "How stupid! My eyes have been healed for a long time."
It seems that the truth-telling fruit has already taken effect.
"There is something I want to ask you. Do you know how Liang Shounian died?" Liang Huanxue did not waste time. After all, she was afraid that Fu Shushu would come back suddenly.
If she saw her mother like this, she would probably become suspicious.
"Liang Shounian?" Aunt Jia's face suddenly turned pale.
But then he smiled again, as if he was very proud, "I killed him."
Liang Huanxue's eyes widened, shocked by her straightforward answer, "What's going on?"
"I stole some jewelry. In order to avoid being discovered, I put them in a bag, tied them with a long rope, and hid them in the river. When I was about to get them that day, I accidentally fell into the river. Liang Shounian heard the noise and came to save me.
After he rescued me, he found that my hands were tightly grasping a rope, so he pulled the bag out of the water. The bag was accidentally torn by a rock, and the things inside fell out. He saw them and recognized that they were stolen by me.
He wanted to take me to return the things, and said that he was there, and I just needed to apologize, and they would not send me to the government. He also said that if I needed money in the future, I could ask him for help. What a joke, how could I return something that I had worked so hard to get?
Aunt Jia's face became extremely evil, as if she had returned to that day and that moment again.
Liang Huanxue just felt a chill down her spine.
Although she knew that some people were born bad, she never thought that Aunt Jia, who had always been kind to her, would be that kind of person.
It's not terrible to be born a bad person. What's terrible is that she will hide that side of herself in front of outsiders.
And it is hidden very well, so no one can see the clues.
"What did you do?" Seeing that she didn't say anything else, Liang Huanxue could only ask one more question.
"Me? I didn't do anything. I just told him there was a bag in the water and asked him to pick it up for me. After he got into the water, I hit him hard on the head with a stone and watched him sink into the water."
Liang Huanxue felt icy cold all over.
At that time, Aunt Jia was less than ten years old, yet she was able to do such a terrible thing.
"I wanted to leave like this, but someone came over and I could only burst into tears and said that I had discovered Liang Shounian stealing jewelry. He wanted to push me into the water and drown me. I struggled hard to escape."
Public opinion at that time was probably one-sided.
Old Mrs. Liang must have endured a lot of pain.
Losing her husband was painful enough for her, but now there was also dirty water splashing in her face.
The culprit even came home to demand compensation.
"The Liang family was really stingy. They only gave me one or two taels of silver. Later, they moved away because they couldn't stand the gossip in the village. Who would have thought that I would marry into their village? This is really a narrow road for enemies.
When I first became blind, she even laughed at me, saying that I was getting what I deserved. She didn't even notice who was getting what I deserved. Her granddaughter, who valued me more than her eyes, would come to me whenever she had time!"
When Liang Huanxue heard this, she wanted to slap herself.
If she had known all this earlier, why would she have come here?
Liang Huanxue was so angry that she was deceived by a sinister person and had so much spiritual spring water wasted on her.
She couldn't help but wonder, Fu Shushu...could it be that she is not as simple as she seems?
Aunt Jia is so good at disguising herself, so her daughter must be no less capable than her, right?
Do you want to let Fu Shushu try the truth fruit as well?
You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.
Liang Huanxue saw that Aunt Jia's confused eyes gradually became clearer, and knew that the effect of the Truth Fruit had worn off.
Fortunately, she already knew the truth.
"Xue'er, the cake you brought is delicious. I wonder what it is made of? When I get better, I will make it for myself."
When Aunt Jia came to her senses, she didn't remember what had just happened. She only knew that she had eaten the delicious cakes that Liang Huanxue brought her again.
But this time the water was not as sweet as before, and had a strange bitter taste.
She lowered her head and wanted to taste it again, but found that the water in the teacup was empty.
Aunt Jia didn't suspect anything and just thought the water was the same as before, so she drank it all in one gulp.
In fact, it was poured out by Liang Huanxue.
Because she knew that when Aunt Jia woke up, she would definitely feel that the water tasted wrong.
"My grandma made it. I don't know what she used. If you want to know, you can go ask my grandma." Liang Huanxue said with a smile.
Aunt Jia gave two dry laughs.
How could she dare to go to Old Lady Liang to ask?
But he still had to pretend to agree, "Okay, I'll go when I get better!"
"I sneaked out. If I don't go back, my mother will scold me. Auntie, I'm leaving first!" After seeing her true face, Liang Huanxue didn't want to spend more time with her.
"Okay." Aunt Jia looked kind.
But when she turned around, she showed a completely different face.
Liang Huanxue took out the bamboo basket hidden in the bushes, picked a basket of wild vegetables, and was about to go back when she saw Fu Shushu.
"Xue'er, is Weijiang feeling better?"
Fu Shushu could only get information from Liang Huanxue.
"Brother Weijiang is much better now. Sister Fu Shushu doesn't have to worry." Liang Huanxue said as she looked at her expression.
I want to see if her concern is real.
"Xue'er, is there something dirty on my face?" Fu Shushu had never been looked at like this by Liang Huanxue before, so she naturally felt strange.
