Chapter 168 The Real Mo Family (V)
Shen Jinyi smiled and did not continue to say anything on this topic. Instead, she started telling the story again.
&34;I have mentioned before that my grandmother was a close friend of the eldest daughter of the Mo family, who was also my great aunt, and she also had a very good relationship with the second Miss Mo, who even treated her like her own sister. So, after learning about Qin Wanru's situation, she also supported my grandmother. It was also because of their support that my grandmother was able to escape unscathed with the divorce papers and dowry.
After my grandmother left, a large number of servants serving in the house were replaced. My grandfather's grandfather had originally had expectations for my grandfather. As for the half-true and half-false things that happened to the Mo family later, it was probably related to the eunuchs. They supported Qin Wanru to the throne, so naturally they wanted a good explanation.
Ever since these things happened in the family, my grandfather's grandfather has been in poor spirits and his health has been getting worse day by day. He simply gave the ring representing the head of the family to the more capable Miss Mo Er. My grandfather has become just a nominal head of the family without any token of being the head of the family.
Of course, later on, I, the second aunt, gave this ring directly to my second uncle. Nowadays, although my illegitimate uncle is nominally the head of the Mo family, in fact, he doesn’t even have a head of the family ring.
The reason he was able to take the position was because Qin Wanru pushed this bastard to the position after my second uncle got into trouble.
Moreover, most of the people in the mansion at that time were completely unaware of what had happened and they all thought that Qin Wanru was my uncle's biological mother.
Therefore, people still have sympathy for this woman who just lost her son. She was generous enough to let her illegitimate son inherit the family business. No one else would say anything.
For the other members of the Mo family, the head of the family could only fall on them if their grandfather had no son to inherit the family business. What's more, no one would take a fool like that illegitimate son seriously.
In fact, as the biological mother of the illegitimate son, Qin Wanru naturally wanted to get rid of my uncle. However, she never expected that before she had the chance to take action, her stupid daughter actually took action first.
By the way, Mo Junyao has been dissatisfied with my second uncle for a long time because she is jealous. She is jealous of all those who are favored by my grandfather.
Let me add here that Mo Junyao knew that my uncle was not Qin Wanru's son, but she didn't know that my mother was not either. I found out this when I interrogated Mo Junyao in my previous life.
I think that even if Qin Wanru was Mo Junyao's mother, she would not tell her all the truth. After all, when my grandfather was alive, my mother was the most favored person in the family, and Qin Wanru had to pretend to be a kind mother in front of my grandfather. Of course, Qin Wanru did not only pretend in front of my grandfather, because my mother was useful to her, so she played the role of a kind mother very well.
As for Mo Junyao, since she knew that my uncle was not her biological brother, she naturally hoped that her biological brother would be the head of the family. She hated her mother for pretending to be kind for so many years and for not being ruthless enough in doing things, so she acted on her own without discussing it with Qin Wanru. &34;
At this point in Shen Jinyi's story, Cheng Jinchu remembered that when Chengzi told her that Aunt Mo was the legal wife, she specially sent people to inquire about Mo Junyao's "cause of death". Her people got the news that the head of the Mo family fell off a cliff and died. Mo Junyao was also present that day. She said that she was lucky to be alive at the time, but her injuries were very serious. She died within three days after being carried home.
"My father and mother actually didn't know about the past of the Mo family before. My mother didn't even have any memory of living with her mother and brother until her death. It was my father who was very careful and discovered something wrong. During the investigation, he found out that my grandmother was not my real grandmother.
After I was born, my mother entrusted me to Qin Wanru's care before her death. She thought that Qin Wanru was her mother and would raise me well. As for why she didn't give me to my father, I will talk about their relationship in detail later.
In short, when my father found out the truth and wanted to take me back, it was too late. Qin Wanru had already sent someone to send me away. She didn't want to take my life, but just wanted to trap me. After my mother died, I became the useful person.
My father hated Mo Junyao very much. On the day when my uncle got into trouble, my father was inspecting the embankment outside the city. The people he had placed next to Mo Junyao discovered what Mo Junyao was going to do and hurried to find my father. My father immediately took a lot of people to look for him.
However, he was late after all, and when he arrived he just happened to see my uncle falling off the cliff.
He was the official in charge of Pingcheng at that time. When something like this happened, he would naturally not let Mo Junyao go. He brought many people with him, so he killed some of the evildoers and took the rest back with Mo Junyao and locked them up in jail.
When Qin Wanru heard that her daughter was imprisoned, she ran to my father overnight to plead for mercy. Qin Wanru's reason was that she had already lost a daughter, so she couldn't lose another one. She tried to get my father to let Mo Junyao go by mentioning my mother.
However, Qin Wanru did not expect that it was her arrival that night that made her father think of investigating what happened in the Mo family back then for the first time. He felt that things were not that simple.
He couldn't understand why a mother would come to him and ask him to pretend she knew nothing after knowing that her own son was killed by her daughter, saying that she had already lost a son, and although her daughter was wrong, she couldn't lose another daughter. He simply couldn't accept such a ridiculous reason. &34;
&34;So, this is why Mo Junyao was demoted from wife to concubine, and why she was willing to be a concubine even if she was demoted from wife to concubine. &34;
Shen Jinyi nodded.
"Yes, although my father began to suspect, he had no evidence and he needed time to investigate."
He suddenly realized that perhaps all these years of investigating the truth of Mo Junyao killing my mother would lead to nothing. He used to think the same as my mother, always thinking that Qin Wanru was a soft-hearted mother. Her loving mother image had been deeply rooted in people's hearts for so many years, and no one would believe that she would kill her own child! &34;
When Cheng Jinchu heard this, her brows frowned slightly, and she remembered something.
"I remember that after you were born, it was your grandmother... Qin Wanru who took care of you. When you went out before, you said you wanted to find out the truth about your grandmother's murder, find the real murderer, and take revenge. You, no, Qin Wanru should be very good to you, otherwise why would you have such an idea? I don't understand why she is so good to you?"
Shen Jinyi snorted coldly and laughed at himself.
"Because my mother and I are the stupidest and most pitiful creatures in the world. We are the kind that are sold and have to count money for others. Of course, we are useful people!"
Cheng Jinchu frowned. She always felt that Qin Wanru knew a lot, or that she was involved in something very big.
"So, what does she want from you? Hasn't she already made her son the head of the family?"
Shen Jinyi closed his eyes and sighed.
&34;Well, I have to mention the matter of the bracelet. Speaking of the bracelet, I have to talk about a person first. That person is Meng Yue, oh, that is, the Princess of Chen. As far as I know, this is the Princess of Chen's real name, not Meng Yue, because she did not marry the Prince of Chen with her real identity. As for her name, I forgot it, but it is easy to find out after knowing her identity.
Why do I mention her first? Because her identity is very important. She and my grandmother are biological sisters with the same father and mother. It’s surprising, right?
After all, there is a big age difference between them. My grandmother is old enough to be the mother of Princess Chen, but it is true that Princess Chen is a late-born daughter.
My grandmother went missing when she was three years old. It was said that she was lost, but in fact it was done intentionally by someone with ulterior motives. Otherwise, how could someone send her, a person from another country, out of the country as quickly as possible?
It’s because as long as my grandmother is in the country, she will be found by her mother soon, because her mother has the ability to do so.
However, my grandmother was lucky. She was later picked up and adopted by Mrs. Ji, who was injured and lost her qualifications as a mother.
The rumors about the bracelet were deliberately spread by Qin Wanru after her grandfather's death. She didn't say it directly. She actually just talked about saving the prince in the palace.
In short, the rumor spread, and somehow it became a rumor, and people later seemed to believe that truth.
I didn't know the truth about this bracelet at first. In fact, this bracelet belonged to my grandmother. She was wearing it when she got lost.
Princess Chen has an identical pair of bracelets on her hand. That pair of bracelets was a token of love given to my grandmother's mother by her father, and they were also jade bracelets passed down from my grandmother's father's family.
My grandfather actually didn't know about the relationship between my grandmother and Princess Chen, and he certainly didn't know the value of the bracelet. He just knew that my grandmother treasured the bracelet, so he hid it before she passed away. In the days after she passed away, he would always take it out to look at it, as he would miss her.
In my previous life, when I knew all the truth later, I realized that we were all wrong at the beginning. We thought they all wanted this bracelet. In fact, Qin Wanru never thought about wanting this bracelet. It’s not that this bracelet is not important, but that this bracelet is useless in her hand.
My father said that before his grandfather died, he took out this bracelet from under his pillow and told my father that it was my grandmother's bracelet, and that the bracelet would be passed down to the child born by my mother, that is, to me.
However, my father didn’t know that Qin Wanru was not my mother’s biological mother. My grandfather was seriously ill and passed away without telling many things. So my father thought it was Qin Wanru’s thing. He showed her the bracelet and thanked her. The news Qin Wanru released later made people say that this thing was a thank-you gift from the Prince of Chen! &34;
