Su Qian was stunned by this woman’s sudden actions. For a moment, she wondered if she was hallucinating. Otherwise, how could someone as arrogant as Dongfang Ruyan cry in front of outsiders?

However, who could have expected that Dongfang Ruyan not only cried but also sobbed bitterly that she looked extremely distressed, “Sob sob sob, Qianqian, I know that I broke your heart, but, but whenever I see you, I think of your mother and want to be close to you. But you keep pushing me away. I’m really unfair, so I said those harsh words to you earlier.”

“Madam…” Seeing his wife crying so sadly, Shen Duoyi hurried forward and sat by the bed. He raised his arms and pulled Dongfang Ruyan into his arms.

Dongfang Ruyan threw herself into Shen Duoyi’s arms and started wailing, “Sob sob sob, poor Xue’er. She gave birth to such a good daughter, but she couldn’t see it. Honey, I feel so bad.”

Shen Duoyi was also heartbroken. He could only raise his hand and caress Dongfang Ruyan’s back, comforting her, “I know you’re sad, I know you’re upset, but the dead can’t be brought back to life. There’s nothing we can do.”

Su Qian looked at the couple and couldn’t tell if they were telling the truth or not.

However, she didn’t sense any schemes from Dongfang Ruyan.

“No! I believe Xue’er isn’t dead!” Tears rolled down Dongfang Ruyan’s face as she choked, “Honey, have you forgotten? Back then, when we heard the news of Xue’er’s death, we rushed over. However, we didn’t even see Xue’er’s body. The Su family said that Xue’er died of illness and hurriedly buried her. Doesn’t that seem suspicious?”

When Shen Duoyi heard Dongfang Ruyan suddenly mention this matter, his eyes were filled with complicated emotions. He hesitated for a while before he frowned and said, “Madam, that’s all in the past. Why are you bringing it up at this time?”

“I was in a deep sleep just now when I suddenly remembered this matter. The more I think about it, the more suspicious it seems.” Dongfang Ruyan ignored Shen Duoyi’s obstruction and looked at Su Qian, saying, “Qian’er, when your mother passed away, you were still young, so you must not have a deep impression of her. However, I’m very familiar with your mother. She was very powerful and had a very good health. I’ve never heard of her falling ill, but she suddenly died of illness in just one night back then. I always feel that something is wrong.”

“What are you trying to say?” Su Qian narrowed her eyes and stared at Dongfang Ruyan.

“Qianqian, I’ve been keeping this in my heart for 20 years. I’ve never dared to say it, afraid that others would think I’m crazy. But Qianqian, I really think that your mother might not be dead. She’s still alive!” Dongfang Ruyan said firmly.

Su Qian’s heart trembled violently as a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in the depths of her memories.

Even though she had never seen Nangong Qingxue, when she inherited this body and became Su Qian, she and Nangong Qingxue were bound by blood.

What emerged in her heart was a child’s longing for her mother. Even if she had known that her mother was dead, when she heard others mention that she might still be alive, she would still waver..
