Chapter 200 What Happened That Year
Gu Zhen sighed helplessly.
"It's all because of my aunt being too stubborn! She made you so angry and disappointed back then, and now that her life isn't going as she expected, she can only grit her teeth and swallow it!"
Hearing this, Meng Zhengxin felt even more distressed.
His silly daughter, why is she making things so difficult for herself!
"Even if I don't agree with their marriage, she is still my daughter, the apple of my eye. How can I bear to see her being bullied?"
"Stupid! Really stupid!"
But it's too late to say anything now, his precious daughter will never come back.
He glanced at Meng Ruyan's tombstone and tears streamed down his face.
He felt particularly guilty.
in case……
However, there is no "if" in the world, and there is no chance to start over. It is too late to regret!
He didn't want the children to see him in such an embarrassing state, so he turned and walked away.
Xiao Ran was worried about Meng Zhengxin and also understood Meng Zhengxin's proud nature. He did not chase after him, but asked several servants to follow Meng Zhengxin quietly.
After confirming Meng Zhengxin's safety, he said to Gu Zhen, "Cousin, was Dai Zhi there serving my mother when this happened?"
At that time, Dai Zhi was still a servant serving Meng Ruyan.
Gu Zhen answered decisively: "No!"
"What about her?"
"I don't know either! After I woke up from my coma, I saw Dai Zhi coming to take care of my aunt, but she would always disappear for a long time! I was busy with my own affairs at the time and didn't pursue the matter!"
Xiao Ran frowned.
Could it be that at that time, Dai Zhi had already gotten together with Xiao Wenchang?
If you think about it carefully, it was after this that Dai Zhi was taken as a concubine by Xiao Wenchang.
Xiao Ran cursed, "How can he be so shameless!"
Gu Zhen asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Su Xiaoxiao also felt something was wrong and looked at Xiao Ran nervously.
Xiao Ran said, "I was angry at Dai Zhi before. I didn't treat her well and didn't even acknowledge her as my stepmother. I was just angry. I was angry that Xiao Wenchang made Dai Zhi his second wife right after my mother passed away. Now that I think about it, my mother's death might not be as simple as it seems! There must be something wrong, some unknown secret!"
Although Su Xiaoxiao said nothing, she also felt that this matter was not simple.
Gu Zhen was slightly surprised.
"My aunt and my uncle were so loving back then. Could it be that my uncle really had the heart to kill my aunt?"
There was a cold light in Xiao Ran's eyes.
"Even if he can't harm my mother directly, it doesn't mean he can't harm her indirectly!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhen collapsed to the ground in shock.
"This, this, this...how could this happen!?"
Xiao Ran didn't want to believe this was true either.
He grabbed his thighs tightly and swore in front of Meng Ruyan's grave.
"I will definitely get to the bottom of what happened back then!"
Su Xiaoxiao carefully placed her hand on the back of Xiao Ran's hand.
The two looked at each other. Su Xiaoxiao saw the grief in Xiao Ran's eyes after seeing his tears, and her eyes were full of heartache.
"No matter what happens, I will be with you!"
Xiao Ran held Su Xiaoxiao's hand tightly, as if he had grasped some power, and there was a little light in his eyes.
"it is good!"
Su Xiaoxiao kowtowed three times to Meng Ruyan.
"Please rest assured, mother-in-law. I know how difficult it is for Xiao Ran. I will love him and care for him well, and live a good life with him!"
Hearing these words, Xiao Ran felt warm in his heart and held Su Xiaoxiao's warm little hand even tighter.
Gu Zhen felt a little comforted when she saw how affectionate the two were.
She looked at Meng Ruyan's tombstone and prayed in her heart.
I hope Xiao Ran’s guess is just a guess and not true, and that my aunt really died of illness!
Otherwise, it would be terrible!
Meng Zhengxin, whose emotions had stabilized, slowly walked back.
Seeing Xiao Ran and Su Xiaoxiao kowtowing in front of Meng Ruyan's grave, he felt mixed emotions.
In fact, when he learned that Xiao Ran fell in love with a little village girl, his first reaction was to disagree.
He hoped that Xiao Ran could find a girl from a wealthy family who was a good match for him.
But when he thought of his deceased youngest daughter Meng Ruyan, the persistence in his heart completely collapsed.
The previous experience was too painful, and he didn't want to go through it again!
He chose to compromise this time!
Fortunately, Su Xiaoxiao is a good person and not a bastard like Xiao Wenchang!
After paying tribute to Meng Ruyan, everyone felt very heavy-hearted.
Meng Zhengxin was in even worse spirits because he still had to go to Dahe Village to pay tribute to Su Yong. Xiao Ran asked Gu Zhen to accompany Meng Zhengxin back to rest first.
Xiao Ran and Su Xiaoxiao took a horse-drawn carriage and headed straight for Dahe Village.
Su Yong died in an accident outside, which was not a normal death. According to the rules, he could not be buried in the village and could only be buried outside the village.
Su Yong's grave, like Meng Ruyan's, is alone in one place.
After Su Yong got into trouble, the Su family was unwilling to pay for a tombstone, so Su Yong was hastily buried with only a small mound of earth.
The carriage stopped in front of Su Yong's grave. Xiao Ran helped Su Xiaoxiao get off the carriage and found that there was a tombstone in front of the grave.
Su Xiaoxiao thought she had taken the wrong path, but after checking carefully, she was sure she was not wrong.
There is only one grave nearby, and Su Yong’s name is written on the tombstone. It is definitely Su Yong’s grave.
The two men walked to the grave. The soil on the grave had been turned over and there were no weeds on it.
There are also offerings in front of the tombstone, which means someone must have come to pay their respects a few days ago.
Su Xiaoxiao knew without guessing that it must be her third uncle Su Jian who came to pay homage, and the stone tablet was also erected by Su Jian.
She was very grateful to Su Jian.
She was so busy making money to support her family that she neglected the late Su Yong.
The two burned a lot of paper money in front of Su Yong's grave.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the person who only existed in her memory and said only one sentence.
"I will take good care of Mom and Cheng'en, and our family's life will get better and better. Dad, don't worry!"
After saying that, she kowtowed to Su Yong three times.
Seeing this, Xiao Ran, who was standing by, also kowtowed.
After bowing, he clasped his hands together and said to Su Yong's tombstone, "Father-in-law, I, Xiao Ran, promise you that I will cherish Xiao Xiao and treat him as my life. I will never abandon him and will never have any second thoughts! If I break this oath, you can take me away at any time!"
Su Xiaoxiao was quite moved when she heard Xiao Ran's previous vows, but why did he suddenly change his tone after the last sentence?
This made Su Xiaoxiao frown slightly.
"What did you say?"
Xiao Ran looked like he was begging for praise.
"I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. I'm willing to bet my life on it! Am I being sincere?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked a little disgusted.
He was immersed in grief just now, but now he becomes careless again. Xiao Ran's mood is really erratic!
"Okay, okay, you're the most sincere!"
"How perfunctory! Can't my wife just praise me properly?"
"It's enough to just praise you, why do you have to ask for so much!"
Su Xiaoxiao left Xiao Ran behind and got on the carriage first.
Xiao Ran followed closely behind.
"Hey? Wife, wait for me! I just asked you to praise me! Why are you so stingy?"
"I'm just being stingy! Besides, I haven't married you yet, so be careful how you address me!"
