The cemetery was remote and overgrown.
It was filled with dead people who had no family and had been buried here by kind strangers.
Jiang Shaocheng felt that something was wrong about the news of Tang Qiu’s mother’s death. He had just found a clue about Tang Qiu’s mother, and it turned out she had been dead all along? However, seeing the state his wife was in, he brought her to the cemetery. No matter what, he had to discover what was going on. Jiang Shaocheng would never allow anyone to hurt Tang Qiu.
When they reached, Madam Tang was standing by the cemetery, her eyes unreadable. When she saw Tang Qiu and Jiang Shaocheng, she said tly, “This is your mother, Tang Linxi. She died in the same year she gave birth to you. I didn’t want to tell you, but I can’t watch you walk your mother’s path again! Qiu, your grandmother isn’t doing this to hurt you. Sooner orter, you’ll get your retribution for snatching someone else’s husband. Your mother’s life is a perfect example of that!”
“So this is her…” Tang Qiu bit her lip and looked at the tombstone in front of her grandmother, disying a picture of a girl with a sweet smile–her mother. The resemnce was uncanny. So this was what her mother looked like… !!
“Madam, how can you be sure that this is your daughter, Tang Linxi? Just because of a photo? A tombstone disying her name? And how did you find out about this ce? It’s far from the city, and it’s not near the old folk’s home either…” Jiang Shaocheng pushed his wheelchair towards them, his eyes deep with intent.
“What do you mean? Do you want me to open the coffin to check? Who do you think you are? When are you going to divorce Tang Qiu? Our family matters are none of your business!” Madam Tang whirled around and red at him, refusing to answer.
“Tang Qiu and I will not get a divorce. You have no say in the matter!” Jiang Shaocheng held Tang Qiu’s hand to calm her down. He stared coldly at Madam Tang. “I recently managed to uncover some information about Tang Qiu’s mother, and today, you show up iming she’s dead. Isn’t that a little too coincidental? Besides, ording to the date on the tombstone, it has been more than ten years since Tang Qiu’s mother died. Why is the picture still so clear? Don’t tell me that you change her photos every once in a while?”
At this moment, He Lei rushed over with a tablet and examined the picture on the tombstone. He turned around and said, “Young Master, the photo is indeed new! I followed your orders and went to look for the cemetery manager. He has never seen Madam Tang before. Also, Young Master, take a look at this…” He handed the tablet over.
Jiang Shaocheng held Tang Qiu with one hand and scrolled down the tablet with the other. When he was finished, he scoffed. “After Tang Linyong was imprisoned, someone kept transferring money to his personal ount. However, when Tang Qiu was five years old, the money was cut off. That was why you sent Tang Qiu to the Feng family and ignored her. You even found a way to take money from Tang Qiu and save money for your son. Madam Tang, do you want to exin what happened?”
Tang Qiu felt like she was on a roller coaster. Her emotions were a whirlpool, and her thoughts were even more of a mess. “Dear, what do you mean? I…”
Jiang Shaocheng patted herfortingly. “Go to the car first. This grave doesn’t belong to your mother! I’ll handle the rest.” When Jiang Shaocheng was investigating Tang Linxi, he had deliberately spread some news to Madam Tang to see if he could find out anything from her. Obviously, she had taken his bait.
However, he hadn’t expected Madam Tang to make a fake tombstone to deceive him and Tang Qiu! Madam Tang had wanted him to divorce Tang Qiu because of her ties with the Feng family. Now, she was fighting to put an end to his investigation because the tragedy that was Tang Linxi’s life had been caused by her! She didn’t want the truth toe to light, lest it implicate Tang Linyong, who was still serving his sentence.
Jiang Shaocheng had wanted to confirm his suspicions before revealing everything to Tang Qiu. But he was caught off-guard by how anxious Madam Tang was, so there were some things he wanted to keep secret from his wife for now.
But now that things hade to this, how could Tang Qiu simply walk away? “Dear, what do you mean? If this isn’t my mother, then where is she?” She looked at Madam Tang. “Where is my mother? What on earth is going on?” She suddenly realized that she didn’t understand her grandmother or Jiang Shaocheng. Were they talking in riddles?
“He’s talking nonsense! That bitch, your mother, is dead! After all these years, why are you looking for her?” Without warning, Madam Tang broke out into hysterics.
“Dear, tell me, what do you know? I have the right to know the truth!” Tang Qiu didn’t look at Madam Tang, instead staring at Jiang Shaocheng with red-rimmed eyes. She wanted his answer now. Why was he keeping secrets from her? Didn’t he promise her that he would help her find her mother?
