"Yes …" Song Jinning felt a little embarrassed and reminded Huo Shaoheng, "Just keep it to yourself and don't tell anyone else. Although your uncle is no longer around, your aunt and cousin are still around. If they find out, they won't feel good about it either. Besides, I shouldn't gossip about people behind their backs. Although Bai Jinyi was pestering your uncle, she didn't dare to go too far. She's a very prideful person and wouldn't make a scene in public. So just pretend you don't know. "
Huo Shaoheng, "…"
At this point, Huo Shaoheng raised his hand to rub his temples. After thinking for a while, he could only say, "… Aunt is no longer around."
Song Jinning, "…"
She blinked her beautiful eyes and stared at Huo Shaoheng in a daze. "Not here anymore? What do you mean gone? She remarried? "
If Huo Shaoheng's uncle, Huo Guanyuan, had passed away 16 years ago, then it wouldn't be unreasonable for his wife to remarry.
After all, the dead were dead, but the living had to continue their lives.
In this day and age, women didn't have to be faithful to their husbands for the rest of their lives.
"No, she committed suicide 10 years ago." Huo Shaoheng shifted uncomfortably on the soft chair.
The direct cause of his aunt's death was related to Song Jinning, or rather, they all thought it was related to her.
And those love letters …
He had thought it was a simple matter that could be explained in a few words, but now he felt like the contents were snowballing. It wasn't something that could be explained in a short amount of time.
But if he didn't explain it clearly, Song Jinning would be in a situation where she couldn't be trusted.
And Huo Shaoheng wouldn't allow his mother to continue being deceived.
"Suicide?!" Song Jinning covered her mouth with her hand, a layer of mist appeared in her cold eyes, "I don't believe it! Tell me, why did your aunt commit suicide? Did someone in the Huo family gossip about her?! "
"Gossip?" Huo Shaoheng frowned and pursed his lips even tighter. He looked expressionlessly at the instruments on Song Jinning's operating chair and didn't look her in the eye. His voice was light and airy, "… What do you mean?"
His face was indifferent and solemn, completely uninterested.
Song Jinning leaned back on the operating chair and let out a long sigh. She said emotionally, "How many things have happened in the past 16 years?"
She had originally thought that Huo Guanchen's divorce when she was sick had made her sad enough. She hadn't expected that there would be something even sadder.
"Big brother and sister-in-law are gone just like that." Song Jinning sighed and closed her eyes. A few drops of tears seeped out from the corner of her eyes. "Compared to them, your father and I aren't in the worst situation. After all, we are still alive, but they are no longer in this world. "
Huo Shaoheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.
He had not misjudged his mother.
As a woman who had been determined to be a scientist since she was young, love was never everything in her life.
So it should be fine for him to say the rest of his words, right?
If it weren't for the fact that this matter concerned his parents, Huo Shaoheng really wanted to drag Gu Nianzhi over to persuade him …
"The reason First Aunt committed suicide was because she discovered First Uncle had written love letters to another woman." Huo Shaoheng coughed and said everything in one breath before he felt awkward. "16 years ago, the year First Uncle passed away, the military gave First Uncle's belongings to First Aunt. Then First Aunt discovered that these love letters … weren't written to First Aunt, but to … another woman. Six years later, she chose to commit suicide and ended her life. "
"Love letters?" Song Jinning opened her eyes in confusion. "When were these love letters written?"
"On and off for a few years, I guess." Huo Shaoheng said calmly, "If Mother is interested, I can bring them all for you to see."
He had only brought the letter with him that said, "Tears fall from my eyes, I regret not meeting you before we were married." He had originally planned to let Song Jinning identify the handwriting when she woke up.
Song Jinning still didn't know that it had anything to do with her. She waved her hand. "That's not necessary." She paused and asked again, "You mean your First Aunt couldn't stand that your First Uncle had another woman in his heart, so she chose to commit suicide?"
"Yes. That's the gist of it. " Huo Shaoheng shifted his seat again. His expression was blank, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He had finally finished talking about this extremely embarrassing matter.
"I didn't expect Luo Xinxue to do this for your First Uncle …" Song Jinning sighed deeply. She recalled her sister-in-law's appearance and only remembered that she was a typical Jiangnan beauty. She had snow-white skin, petite and delicate. She was very virtuous and obedient to Huo Guanyuan. She never even raised her voice in front of him. She used to be Old Madam Huo's most praised daughter-in-law, saying that she had the most traditional virtues of a Huaxia woman.
However, after she finished speaking, she was a little disapproving. "Your First Uncle isn't that kind of person. He wouldn't be disloyal to your First Aunt. As for the love letters, who hasn't loved someone when they were young? Who doesn't have a few love letters that they can't send out? How many people are lucky enough to have a happy ending with the first person they fall in love with? That's what happens when you're young and frivolous. I don't believe your First Aunt doesn't understand this. Moreover, she … "She suddenly stopped talking, feeling that she had said too much.
Huo Shaoheng frowned. His mother's words had a hidden meaning.
It seemed like he had to tell her the rest of the story.
"… But these love letters are very important. Big Aunt's suicide and Father's divorce with Mother were all because of these love letters from Big Uncle. Because First Uncle's letters were all written to Mother. Mother also replied to him with a letter titled, 'Tears fall from my eyes as a pearl, I regret not meeting you before we were married.' "As Huo Shaoheng spoke, he took out the letter signed by Jinning and placed it in front of Song Jinning.
"What?!" Song Jinning's ears turned red from pure anger. "Nonsense! This is slander! I want to sue them! Who said that?! I want to get the best lawyer! Sue them for slander! I want them to go to jail! "
Her hands trembled as she took the letter from Huo Shaoheng's hands. As soon as she saw the handwriting, her mind buzzed. It was as if thousands of bees had burrowed into it. It was so noisy that she could barely hear anything else.
That piece of paper was clearly written by her own handwriting …
But she couldn't remember when she had written that sentence.
"How is that possible? How is that possible? This letter doesn't even have a header. How can you prove that I wrote it to your uncle?! " Song Jinning was so angry that she almost coughed. She patted her chest to calm herself down. She was extremely angry and embarrassed. "I've never liked literature or poetry since I was young. I've only liked math, physics, and chemistry. Who could be so good as to make me write something so scholarly?!"
"Mother … did you really write this?" Huo Shaoheng raised his brows and looked at Song Jinning. He caught the main point very sharply.
Because Song Jinning didn't deny the authenticity of the letter. She only said that she didn't know about the poem and that someone had asked her to write it …
"If I say no, the handwriting expert will definitely say that I'm lying." Song Jinning suppressed her anger. "But I have to say that even if I wrote this, it doesn't prove anything. That's ridiculous! Your father wants to divorce me just because of this letter?! Is that true? He thinks that I'm cheating just because of this sentence?! "
"… I'm not very sure about that." No matter how strong Huo Shaoheng's psychological endurance was, he couldn't take it anymore in the face of his parents' private affairs. He stood up. "Mother, I'll go out first. Do you want to rest alone, or do you want Nianzhi to accompany you?"
