Ying Zijin's eyes flickered.
She remembered the date.
It was the date of her birth.
Ying Zijin recalled the question that Yu Xuesheng had asked her.
"Have you ever thought that Mrs. Su Wen might be your mother?"
She had never deliberately tried to find out the answer.
Because sometimes, expectations actually represented more disappointment.
Now it seemed that Su Wen's daughter was buried deep under the ground.
There was no relationship between them.
Su Wen touched the tombstone with her hand. Her eyes were distant, and she seemed to be reminiscing.
After a while, she came back to her senses and smiled. "When I married your brother, I had already chosen this name."
"The reason why I named her Sandalwood was that I hoped that she would live a peaceful life with a sincere heart and would not suffer any grievances."
Sinai was shocked. "Sister-in-law, it's you …"
After she came back from the preparatory class at the research institute, she learned that Su Wen was in a coma and that her baby had died early.
At that time, she was too young, and the Sage Institute did not even consider handing over the power of the Ryan family to her.
Sinai did not know all the details.
But now it seemed that this tombstone was erected by Su Wen herself.
It was also Su Wen who buried her daughter here.
"Yes, I was in a coma at that time, and I lost a lot of blood, but I didn't fall into a coma after giving birth to Sandalwood," Su Wen said in a low voice. "Until I found out that Sandalwood was already …"
She paused, and her voice became a little hoarse. "So I held on to my last breath and buried Sandalwood here, so that Sandalwood could rest in peace."
"Tell her that her mother will always be by her side, and that she didn't do it on purpose."
Sinai's fingers clenched, and her eyes gradually turned red. She murmured, "Sister-in-law …"
Therefore, the anonymous message she received was actually just a prank.
Her niece had indeed died at birth.
"I'm sorry." Su Wen slowly squatted down and buried her head in the tombstone. She choked out, "Mom … Mom didn't protect you well and let you leave this world at such a young age."
Dark clouds slowly gathered in the sky at this moment, and then heavy rain fell from the sky.
Ying Zijin stood there quietly, letting the drops of rain fall on her body.
She looked at the sky in silence.
She had never had a mother and had never experienced what a mother's love was.
The year she had spent in Family Ying had even made her resistant to the word "mother".
It turned out that in this world, there really was such a mother who could sacrifice everything for her child.
After a long time, Su Wen got up and wiped away her tears. She said in a very soft voice, "Tan Tan, Mama is going to take care of some things first. I'll come and accompany you every day, okay?"
No one answered.
"Okay, Mom knows." Su Wen's voice became softer. "When your father comes back, I'll move you to a new home."
She turned around and was about to ask Sinai to leave with her.
However, when she saw the girl dripping water from her hair to her whole body, Su Wen's expression changed slightly. "Why are you in the rain?"
She opened the umbrella and stepped forward to hold the girl's hand. For the first time, her attitude was very firm. "Come on, take a hot bath with me and then change your clothes."
Hearing this, Ying Zijin was slightly stunned.
When she came back to her senses, she had been pulled out of the cemetery by Su Wen.
"Little magic doctor, this is an automatic bathing machine." Su Wen took Ying Zijin into the bathroom. "It's very simple. Be well after you go in. Don't catch a cold."
Ying Zijin didn't say that she had ancient martial arts cultivation, so the wind and rain were nothing to her.
She nodded and smiled. "Thank you, Madam."
"Don't call me Madam, just call me Auntie." Su Wen also smiled. "Go in and take a bath first. After the bath, we can eat."
Thirty minutes later.
Ying Zijin changed into a bathrobe and came out.
Su Wen was sitting on the sofa outside.
This was a very gentle woman, which made people feel very comfortable.
"I'm done." Su Wen stood up. "Your clothes are wet. I asked the servant to wash them. Come and change into new clothes."
Next to the bedroom was a special wardrobe.
It was hundreds of square meters.
There were all kinds of daily clothes, dresses, and shoes inside.
It was dazzling and luxurious.
"When I was young, I liked to buy some clothes." Su Wen whispered. "After I married into the family, Ah Yuan specially prepared such a place for me to put my clothes."
Ying Zijin looked at the woman's face, which was not old at all. Instead, it was more elegant and beautiful. "You are very young now."
The ice bed inhibited the speed of Su Wen's cell division.
Su Wen's physical fitness now was no different from twenty years ago.
No one would believe that she was fifty years old.
"The body is not old, but the heart is old." Su Wen's eyelashes trembled and she smiled softly. "I have slept for so long. It's not that I am completely unaware of the outside world."
"A while ago, I dreamed of Sandalwood's appearance when she died. It was really a nightmare."
Su Wen blamed herself.
Sandalwood's early death was entirely her responsibility.
If she had not been pregnant at that time, her Sandalwood would not have suffocated to death.
"It's a style from twenty years ago. It may not be the trend of young people nowadays." Su Wen came back to her senses and took out a dress. "This one. I haven't worn it since I bought it. Try it on and see if you can put it on."
Her eyes were very bright, and there was expectation in her gaze.
Ying Zijin finally could not bear to refuse and entered the dressing room.
Su Wen's custom-made dresses had never been luxurious. There were no extra embellishments.
But they were elegant and noble.
Ying Zijin tied up her hair after changing.
She had black hair, light lips, and porcelain-white skin. She looked like a beauty who had walked out of an ancient painting.
"So beautiful." Su Wen's eyes were even brighter. She praised, "The little miracle doctor has such a good figure."
Her clothes were custom-made according to her own size.
She did not expect Ying Zijin to be able to hold it up perfectly.
"Let's go." Su Wen held the girl's hand again and winked at her. "Let's go eat. I haven't cooked for a long time. I hope it's not bad."
**
Su Wen entered the kitchen.
Sinai was already sitting at the dining table. She lowered her head and said, "Ah Ying, I'm sorry. I don't need your help to find the person."
"It's okay." Ying Zijin shook her head slightly. "You don't know."
Sinai frowned. "But who on earth would send me such a message? What is he after? "
Ying Zijin looked up. "Then how did you confirm that the source of the message was reliable?"
Sinai was a super genius in the research institute. There was no way she would spend ten years looking for Tan Xin just because of an anonymous message.
"Because it has my brother's personal seal on it," Sinai said. "It can't be forged. No one can use it except for the person who sent it."
"At first, I thought it was my brother who sent the message, but there was no signature."
Ying Zijin was deep in thought.
Soon, Su Wen came out with the dishes.
There were four dishes and one soup. They were all home-cooked dishes, but they looked, smelled, and tasted good.
"Let's eat." Su Wen sat down with a smile. "I tasted it just now. It's not poisonous."
"Ah Ying," Sinai said. "Sister-in-law is very good at cooking. My brother's stomach was very picky at that time. He couldn't eat anything except for what she cooked."
Ying Zijin picked up her chopsticks and put a piece of mapo tofu into her mouth. "It's delicious."
Su Wen stared at the girl in a daze. She was in a daze and didn't look away.
Ying Zijin looked up as if she sensed something. Her hand paused. "Auntie?"
"Nothing, little miracle doctor." Su Wen came back to her senses and smiled. "I was thinking that if Tan Xin was still alive, she would be around your age. I wonder what she would be like."
Sinai felt sad. She moved her lips. "Sister-in-law …"
"Little miracle doctor, are you from outside the city?" Su Wen asked with concern. "Do you have a place to stay now?"
"I'm at the research institute." Ying Zijin nodded. "There's a dormitory."
"Research institute?" Su Wen was slightly surprised. "What do you study?"
"Mechanical and aerospace engineering."
"It's really impressive that a girl can study such a project."
The three of them sat at the dining table, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
After dinner, Sinai told Su Wen about the anonymous message she had received.
Su Wen frowned. "You haven't received another message in all these years?"
Sinai shook her head. "No, I asked the Hacker Alliance to investigate the source of the anonymous message. It showed that it was unknown and there were no clues."
If it weren't for Lu Yuan's exclusive seal, she wouldn't have gone to Continent O to look for Tan Xin.
"Your brother is missing. Could it be that someone is using him?" Su Wen was very calm. "I buried Tan Xin myself. How could she go to Continent O?"
She also wanted Tan Xin to be alive.
But obviously, that was impossible.
"Little Sinai, when you decided to look for Sandalwood, you were forced to drink some unknown alchemical potion." Su Wen spoke again. "If you didn't look for Tan Xin, you would have been at the research institute or at home."
"No one would dare to do anything to you in these two places."
Ying Zijin narrowed her eyes.
That's right.
The Biology Institute was under the command of Sage Magician.
But they wouldn't dare to use drugs on an SS-level researcher in the research institute.
"It seems that someone wants to get rid of everyone in the Ryan family," Su Wen said calmly. "First, it was your brother, then Tan Xin and I. Now, it's you."
Sinai was shocked.
Su Wen thought for a long time. She tapped her finger on the table and her eyes suddenly became sharp. "This matter must be investigated."
She turned around and said apologetically, "Little miracle doctor, I'm sorry for getting you involved."
"Auntie, you're welcome." Ying Zijin nodded. "I was going to investigate anyway."
Su Wen was about to speak when the communicator rang.
"Madam," the butler reported respectfully. "Third Master is back."
"Okay." Su Wen stood up and said gently, "Little Sinai, take the little miracle doctor back to the research institute first. The family has seen bloodshed recently. It's not good."
Sinai's expression turned serious. "Yes, sister-in-law."
The Ryan family was going to be wiped out.
**
Mo Qian was waiting in the hall outside.
Footsteps sounded.
A beautiful woman walked in.
Mo Qian looked up and his heart skipped a beat.
Su Wen!
"Third Brother is back." Su Wen took off her cloak and handed it to the butler. She sat down and smiled. "I haven't seen you in so many years. You've aged a lot."
Cold sweat broke out on Mo Qian's forehead as he listened.
After he received news that Su Wen had woken up, he had rushed back from the company.
Mo Qian didn't want Su Wen to wake up, but he didn't dare to do anything to Su Wen.
He really didn't expect Third Madam to be so bold.
She was really a stupid woman!
She left traces behind. Not only did she get herself involved, but she also implicated him.
Mo Qian cursed in his heart.
Su Wen had always been decisive.
As a woman, she was very ruthless.
She wasn't any worse than Lu Yuan.
"Sister-in-law has finally recovered." Mo Qian lowered his head. "We're all very happy."
"Happy? Not necessarily. "Su Wen calmly raised her hand." Bring her up. "
Within a few minutes, Third Madam was dragged up from the mechanical cell by the guards.
She had only been locked up for half a day, but she seemed to have aged ten years.
When she saw Mo Qian, her eyes lit up with hope. "Mo Qian, plead for Sister-in-law. I really didn't do it. Really!"
"Shut up!" Mo Qian gritted his teeth and said sternly, "You should be glad that Sister-in-law is safe and sound. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to pay for it even if you had ten lives!"
In the Ryan family, the head of the family and First Madam represented all the rules.
No one dared to go against them.
"These are the family members you've harmed over the years." Su Wen threw a piece of paper. "You don't dare to touch the direct line of descent, but the collateral line of descent's lives are not lives?"
Third Madam trembled and looked terrified. "Sister-in-law, I …"
Su Wen had just woken up and she already found out about this?!
Su Wen's expression was indifferent. "Do it. Don't bleed."
"Yes, First Madam." The butler stepped forward and took out the laser gun he had prepared.
"Bang!"
With a loud explosion, Third Madam fell.
Mo Qian felt cold all over.
Su Wen's gaze fell on him and she was about to speak.
At this moment, the head of the guards rushed in.
"First Madam, bad news!" He said anxiously. "The car that Fifth Miss and the miracle doctor were in just now exploded in the air!"
----- Digression —
Sandalwood had nothing to do with the heart. It was just a name.
Sandalwood meant a red heart, a light red stamen, and so on.
