After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 460 Some Doubts

Haitang had some doubts that Jin Jiashu did it on purpose.

Judging from the reactions of the uncles and aunts in the neighborhood during today's hot pot feast, he knew very well how endearing his little appearance was. He had never shed tears like this in front of her before, but now he suddenly shed tears. Was it really not intentional?
Haitang struggled in her heart, then quickly put away all her thoughts, and said in a heavy tone: "I believe you will be able to do it in the future!"

Jin Jiashu nodded silently, raised his sleeves again to wipe away the tears on his face, and his expression calmed down again: "I didn't expect that my mother-in-law would pass her sister's body off as my mother's body and bury it in the capital. When I was a child, I saw her with Her family worked together to file a lawsuit against Hu Yuanwai. She looked so sad and angry at that time that I thought she had a really good relationship with her sister. The two children her sister left behind in the Hu family were also adopted by her. . The old lady in the second house was very disgusted and thought that the Hu brothers and sisters were freeloaders and wanted to drive them away. I had to work hard to persuade my uncle to keep them. I originally thought that she was interested in these two nephews. He is sincerely caring, so why did he think that she was indebted first?"

Although the brothers Hu Yingyuan and Hu Yuzhi were looked down upon by others in the second room of the Jin family, their lives were much better than that of Jin Jiashu. I can have enough food and clothing, and I don’t have to be beaten or scolded. Hu Yingyuan could go to the town school with Jin Wu to study, and Hu Yuzhi had new clothes every year. Although their lives are not as good as before in the Hu family, they still have enough food and clothing, which is by no means comparable to the bullied Jin Jiashu.

That is to say, now they have followed the second brother of the Jin family to Chang'an. Jin Xin doesn't have much money in his hands. He has to give priority to ensuring that his family of three has enough to eat, so his attitude towards their brothers and sisters has become much worse.

When Hu Yingyuan was ignorant in the past, he once acted as an accomplice to his aunt Liu and her son, and bullied Jin Jiashu! Therefore, Jin Jiashu didn't have much sympathy for the Hu brothers and sisters. At most, he just pitied them for not knowing their mother's true whereabouts.

The two brothers wholeheartedly trust and respect their aunt Jin Liu, who has ulterior motives, hate their father who is on death row, and are not willing to have any contact with the Hu family. They have no idea they are living a lie. Grandfather Liu's family regarded them as a burden, and their aunt Jin Liu, in the name of adoption, devoured the Hu family's property that should have belonged to them. And they, who have always been the children of murderers, will not have a good future or good reputation when they grow up, and they can only continue to rely on the second wife of the Jin family to live. All this was caused by the second wife of the Jin family, but they knew nothing and were willing to let the Jin Liu family control them. How sad? !

Haitang noticed the sympathy in Jin Jiashu's words and asked tentatively: "Then do you want to tell them the truth?"

"They won't believe me if I tell you." Jin Jiashu said calmly, "Hu Yingyuan often helped my stepmother and brother bully me. Hu Yuzhi has never looked at me in the eyes. They all respect my mother-in-law as their own mother, but They regard me as an enemy. Even if I tell them the truth, they will not believe it. Instead, they will think that I am spreading rumors. Why bother? Even if I can get people to dig up the tomb in the capital, the corpse inside will have already turned into a corpse. Bones, how can you tell that it's Liu Dainiang and not my mother? This Liu Dainiang is also very pitiful. I can't bear to let her live in peace after death, so let's forget it anyway. When it comes to use, they will reveal their true colors. Then the Hu brothers and sisters will know that they have recognized the thief as their father, and they will start to suspect the truth of the old case. "

Haitang felt that this matter might not be delayed for too long: "The former magistrate of Zunhua Prefecture allowed his subordinates to collude with the second brother of the Jin family to seize your father's property. Both the new magistrate and Magistrate Huang of Chang'an Prefecture are already aware of this matter. As long as If they make this matter public, the manipulation of the second brother-in-law of the Jin family in Hu Yuanwai's murder of his wife will be exposed sooner or later. Hu Yuanwai is still in prison. Could it be that he won't cry out for injustice? Relatives will also shout. Who would be willing to have a murderer in their own family? When the truth of this case is found out, the Hu family will naturally know that they have been deceived. "

Jin Jiashu smiled: "If they are no longer in Chang'an and don't return to their hometown in Zunhua by then, I'm afraid they won't know the truth."

Haitang raised her eyebrows: "Then what are you going to do?" "I can't do anything." Jin Jiashu said lightly, "I have been deceived for so many years, and I still don't know where my mother is. Who made the decision for me? ? The Hu brothers and sisters released their injured mother with their own hands. They also knew that their mother had gone to join her natal sister, but their mother-in-law said that their mother was beaten to death by their own father. They believed her and were still there. He testified in court that he saw his own father beating his own mother to death. Even if they knew the truth, they would not be able to go back to the Hu family and become the eldest young master and eldest daughter, rather than let them know the truth and make trouble with the second wife of the Jin family. Turns out, the brother and sister have been living in a foreign land at a young age and have no food and clothing. It is better for them to continue to stay in the second room. At least, the aunt must raise her nephew to be an adult so that she can have the honor to see the person she harmed in the future. Dear sister."

Speaking of this matter, Haitang was a little curious: "How did Liu Dainiang die back then? Was it really just from illness?"

Jin Jiashu sneered: "Although my wet nurse didn't tell me the truth, now that I think about the few words she said before, I can guess what happened. Liu Dainiang had no money and nothing, so she went to Beijing alone to join her sister, and she was hurt. I was suffering from illness. At that time, my family had little money, so my father ignored the dignity of a scholar and asked my mother to go to the Wu family to apply for a wet nurse. After my mother left, the second wife of the family was in charge. How could she like Liu Dainiang? She didn't just throw the person out of the house because it was for her mother's sake. She couldn't pay for Liu Dainiang's doctor to give her medicine. Even if Liu Dainiang's injury could have been cured, she would not be able to recover after such a delay. And isn’t death normal?”

Haitang remembered what Haijiao had heard from Aunt Jin once. It is said that Xu Qiuniang became seriously ill after coming out of the palace, and Aunt Jin helped take care of her. While Aunt Jin despised and insulted Jin Jiashu's mother, Xu Qiuniang, and thought she had brought trouble to the whole family, she also felt pity for the patients she was taking care of at the time. She felt that Jin Liu's younger sibling was cold and heartless, and her statements were inconsistent. Now, this problem finally has an explanation.

It is true that Aunt Jin resents Xu Qiuniang, but she sympathizes with the patient Liu Dainiang. It was only that everyone in the Jin family regarded Liu Dainiang as Xu Qiuniang's substitute and concealed her existence. This caused the contradiction in Aunt Jin's confession.

From this point of view, Liu Dainiang's death was really fishy. Perhaps she did die because she was injured by her husband and had not been cured for a long time, but the delay in treatment by the second wife of the Jin family and the failure of Jin Liu, her biological sister, to help in time were the real reasons for her death.

Even if Old Mrs. Jin Er needs to take the main responsibility for this, Jin Liu, the derelict sister, cannot absolve herself of the blame.

Haitang whispered to Jin Jiashu: "If Liu Dainiang really died of a normal illness, why did the second wife of the Jin family keep this secret for many years and did not dare to let others know? Is it just because they later used Liu Dainiang's death to frame Hu Yuanwai? ? Is there no hidden secret here? ”

"It is estimated that there is, but unfortunately there is no way to confirm it now." Jin Jiashu also lowered his voice, "My mother-in-law also said that it was my father's idea to bury Liu Dainiang as my mother, so my father has been tolerant for many years. The second bedroom. I don’t believe her, but there is no proof. I can’t prove my father’s innocence. Fortunately, the second bedroom is more responsible for this matter. Once it is revealed, the dead person will only be gossiped about, but the second bedroom will not be able to escape. Suspected of murder. As long as my mother-in-law is not stupid, she will never expose this matter, and my father can still keep his peace after death. "

So does his mother.
