Lin Mengwu nodded.
After sitting down, he first took a sip of tea and then slowly said, "Uncle, I met some people today and heard some things. I don't understand. Uncle, can you explain it to me? "
Qin Chengyan smiled and said, "Of course. As long as I can help, I'll definitely help. However, I'm a little surprised that you're telling me these things the moment you open your mouth. I heard from your auntie that you weren't yourself today. I thought you didn't want to talk to us. "
Lin Mengwu said, "Uncle is such a smart person. Even if I don't say it, he will find out sooner or later. Since that's the case, I might as well tell Uncle so that he doesn't have to investigate further. "
Qin Chengyan: "…"
The corner of his mouth twitched as he thought to himself speechlessly. It turned out that she didn't tell him because she trusted him, but because she didn't want to beat around the bush.
"You've been a sensible child since you were young. You're smart and sensible. Your aunt and I have always been at ease. If there's anything you don't understand, just say it! If I can, I will. "
"Today, when I was outside, I heard … heard someone talking about the cause of my parents' death. They said that the incident back then wasn't as simple as it seemed."
"Who is that person?" Qin Chengyan asked coldly.
Lin Mengwu sighed and said, "Uncle, don't you think that's not the point? The point is whether what they're talking about is true or not. "
"What do you think?" Qin Chengyan asked.
Lin Mengwu forced a smile and said, "Of course I don't believe it, and I don't want to believe it. But in this world, there were no baseless rumors. As the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire. Why would there be such a rumor? I'm really curious. "
Qin Chengyan said seriously, "What happened to your parents back then was indeed an accident. Your parents died on the way to pick you up. The kidnappers did it on the spur of the moment. But because they know the relationship between your parents and us, they called us for extortion. Your aunt went alone. She was pregnant with Yunyan, but she still went alone. But I didn't expect them to have no intention of letting you go. When your aunt arrived, your parents had already been killed. Fortunately, I took precautions in advance, so nothing happened to your auntie, but your parents … only An 'an was saved. However, your mother was still breathing at the time, and your aunt felt guilty for not being able to save them. Your mother said that she didn't blame Auntie. She hoped that Auntie would take into account that they were best friends and raise you well. You know how your aunt has treated you and An'an all these years. That's right, your auntie does feel guilty. But that's only because she's too kind. It's not her fault. "
Lin Mengwu burst into tears. This was the first time in many years that she had heard such a comprehensive story about her parents.
She covered her face as tears streamed down her cheeks. She choked and said, "Why … Why didn't you tell me before? Just now … just now when I saw Auntie's evasive eyes, I felt so sad. I was afraid that what they said was true, that my parents died because of Auntie. I've been so sad for the past half a day. If it's true, what should I do? "
"I didn't tell you before because I didn't want you to feel burdened. You were still young back then, so it was inevitable that your imagination would run wild if I told you these things. Your aunt and I both hope that you can grow up carefree. If you know too much, you'll have to bear too much. You're still young, and we don't want you to bear too much. "
"Thank you, uncle, for telling me this. I understand, I understand." Lin Mengwu choked.
Qin Chengyan nodded and looked at her. He sighed and said, "I know that you're upset, and you need some time to digest these things. But I hope that you can put away your emotions tomorrow and be the same as before. Your aunt is a simple-minded person. In this life, she has only felt guilty about your parents. I don't want her to worry about you again and add to her worries. Xiao Wu, we watched you grow up. I think you know how you've been all these years. "
"I understand, I know." Lin Mengwu said.
Qin Chengyan then stood up and left.
When he returned to his room, as soon as he entered, Lin Ning pulled him anxiously and asked, "How was it? How did your conversation go? Is she … is she suspicious of that matter? Is she asking you about that matter? "
Qin Chengyan nodded.
Lin Ning's hand suddenly loosened. She seemed to have lost her soul as she stood there in a daze.
After a while, she came back to her senses and choked, "I knew it. There's no secret in this world that lasts forever. There's no wall that doesn't have a crack. Sure enough, this day has come. Sob sob sob … If Xiao Wu finds out, how sad will she be? How much she hates us! She's still so young. Will she leave us because of this? "
"Alright, don't let your imagination run wild. She did hear some rumors and had doubts in her heart. But just now, I explained it to her clearly. Don't worry, she won't worry about this anymore. "Qin Chengyan hugged her and comforted her.
"You explained it to her clearly? How did you explain it to her? She's willing to forgive us? "Lin Ning asked in surprise.
Qin Chengyan frowned. After a while, he said in a low voice, "I told her some of the truth and hid some of the truth. Sometimes, knowing too much is more painful. This is enough for her. I think even if she hears these rumors again in the future, she won't believe it. "
Lin Ning looked at him in a daze. Although she didn't ask, her eyes were asking what truth he told her.
Qin Chengyan had to tell her what he told Lin Mengwu. Lin Ning listened with her eyes wide open.
After a while, she murmured, "Is this also possible? In this way … If one day she knows the truth, will she hate us even more for lying to her twice? "
"You're thinking too much. I'll immediately investigate the person who spread the rumors outside. Once I find that person, no one will tell her these things anymore. "Qin Chengyan's eyes darkened.
Now the Qin family's position in Fengcheng was more stable. Not only in Fengcheng, but also in the capital, there were several people who had left the official career. He wanted to see who dared to offend the Qin family at this time and attack the Qin family.
The next morning, Lin Ning went downstairs anxiously.
When he went downstairs, he saw that Lin Mengwu had already helped the auntie prepare breakfast. Seeing her coming down, she smiled and said, "Good morning, auntie."
"Good morning, Xiao Wu." Lin Ning forced a smile.
However, Lin Mengwu acted as if nothing had happened yesterday. She told Lin Ning about the video call with Qin Yunshen last night. She also said that Qin Yunshen apologized to her and she made things difficult for him.
It seemed that all the previous suspicions were just a dream.
"Xiao Wu, I …" Lin Ning was still uneasy, but there were some words that he couldn't say.
On the contrary, Lin Mengwu smiled and said to Lin Ning, "Auntie, uncle explained to me yesterday. Of course, I believe you. I was thinking too much before. I'm not a child and I'm not ignorant. Auntie, you don't have to feel guilty in the future. I know that my parents' death has nothing to do with you. Auntie, you are also sad, so I won't blame you. "
