Chapter 236 Reunion of old friends

Chapter 236: Reunion with Old Friends

Zhuzhu's arm slammed heavily against the door frame. Yuqin, who was sitting nearby, saw Zhuzhu's injury and quickly went to her side. Just as she was about to roll up Zhuzhu's sleeve to check the wound, the woman who was about to carry the black cat out beat her to it.

Zhuzhu looked at the woman in the dark green dress with great curiosity, wondering why the woman was so nervous about her injury. She also felt a strange sense of familiarity with this beautiful woman.

Meow! Meow! Meow! When Niu Niu was put on the floor by her little owner, she meowed loudly at him unhappily.

Xue Rong, what are you doing? Hurry up and take Niu Niu to pray to Buddha! I advise you to ignore everything that's happening here.

Haha! Father, I really don't understand why you insisted on putting Mu Long and his family to death? In my memory, Aunt Yuqin and Brother Muwang both doted on me very much.

They wouldn't let me suffer the slightest grievance, and they cherished me like the apple of their eye. I had long regarded Aunt Yuqin as my own mother.

Haha! Little girl, let me give you a piece of advice: that's what she, as your biological aunt, should do. Why should you be grateful for it!

Did she really cherish you like the apple of her eye back then? If it was really as you say, why were you kidnapped by human traffickers back then?

When Yuqin heard Emperor Xia ask the woman in the dark green dress these questions, she knew that the woman was Xia Rong. And the middle-aged man in the Zhongshan suit was Emperor Xia, who had forcibly taken his beloved younger sister as his concubine years ago.

Yuqin originally thought that her younger sister could live a carefree life after gaining the Xia Emperor's favor. Therefore, before the Xia Emperor and her younger sister got married, the Xia Emperor made her a very unreasonable request.

That meant that after her younger sister married Emperor Xia, she would sever all ties with her family in this world—Yuqin. Originally, Yuqin absolutely refused to agree.

They had also discussed with their younger sister about disguising themselves and then secretly sneaking away on a dark and windy night to a place where no one knew them and living in anonymity.

However, Xia Di was someone who never played by the rules. Ever since he made this outrageous request to Yuqin and her younger sister, he had arranged for many men in black to guard the door of Yuqin and her younger sister's house.

At that time, the two girls had already been kicked out of their adoptive parents' home by their uncles and aunts. Because the younger sister loved Huangmei Opera since she was a child, their adoptive parents sent her to a very famous local opera troupe to learn opera.

Although Yuqin and her sister were not their adoptive parents' biological daughters, they were treated extremely well by them.

In Yuqin's memory, her foster mother taught her all the embroidery skills she had learned in her life when she was eight years old, without reservation.

She originally wanted to pass on this craft to her younger sister, who was a year younger than Yuqin, because their adoptive parents were afraid that they would both be gone after their deaths.

No one else had raised these two unfortunate sisters as selflessly as they had raised their own daughters. So they passed on their family's embroidery skills to the sisters.

They hoped that one day the two sisters could make a living through this craft. In fact, before meeting Yuqin and her younger sister, the couple had been married for many years without conceiving a child.

However, a year after Yuqin and her younger sister came to their home, the couple became pregnant with twins, a boy and a girl. At first, everyone was immersed in the joy of the arrival of a pair of adorable twins into their home.

He never considered that since his family already had an heir, he should drive Yuqin and her younger sister out.

Until one day, a distant relative visited her adoptive parents' home and immediately recognized that Yuqin and her younger sister were daughters of a mentally unstable woman from the same village.

They then recounted in detail to Yuqin's adoptive parents the story of how this seemingly insane woman had caused the deaths of both her parents in a single day.

Unfortunately, Yuqin's adoptive parents were both big believers in this kind of thing. It's unclear whether they discussed it with Yuqin, her sister, or their family behind her back, or if there were other reasons.

One day, their adoptive parents suddenly told them that they were going to take their younger siblings back to their maternal grandmother's house, just a few days earlier a wealthy family had ordered a batch of embroidery from them.

In order not to delay the construction schedule, the couple left Yuqin and her younger sister at home to work on the project. Perhaps someone was so malicious as to want to kill these two young sisters who had lost their mother at a young age.

Or was it a coincidence? On the third night after the couple left, someone set fire to the room where they kept their fabric. The fire was huge, and everyone thought the two beautiful sisters would surely perish in the flames.

When Zhuzhu heard about the many hardships her grandmother had endured in her youth, she couldn't help but shed tears silently, and at the same time, a question arose in Zhuzhu's little head.

That was something her grandmother had told her on the way to the Guanyin Temple: that she and her deceased great-aunt had grown up at the Guanyin Temple.

Grandma's godfather just told everyone that when he found Grandma and Auntie, they were still babies in swaddling clothes.

But why would Grandma mention that she grew up in an adult family? Isn't there some issue with this?

Furthermore, my uncle and his beloved woman are cousins. If they were to get married, wouldn't that be considered consanguineous marriage?

Before, I saw that my uncle was always thinking about how to pamper his future aunt, and I thought their love story must be very sweet.

On ordinary days, you can often see the uncle holding the little hibiscus in his arms, gently coaxing it while feeding it delicious food.

For a moment, I had the illusion that my uncle was feeding my future aunt grapes.

I originally thought that since my uncle doted on my future aunt so much, they would definitely become a couple and stay together until old age.

Unexpectedly, the uncle would abandon their deep affection because his future aunt's father wanted to destroy Longsheng Street, which he had created with his own hands.

I thought that a man as devoted as my uncle would be depressed for a while after giving up on the woman he loved, and would spend his days drinking himself into a stupor.

But when her uncle announced that he was giving up his sweet love with the woman he loved, Zhuzhu felt that her uncle immediately relaxed a lot.

This is something Zhuzhu can't understand: why would someone who was once so sentimental turn so heartless after a falling out?
