"In the past, Qinger was raised in the Yuan Family. You only knew part of it …"
As Old Mistress Yuan spoke, she gestured for Butler Fu to bring a footstool over and let Zhao Ruoxin sit beside her.
Among those present, besides Old Mistress Yuan, the oldest was Yuan Tangzhong.
The elegant man pushed his glasses up and sized up Zhao Ruoxin before asking, "Mother, is this the child with a heart disease who was taken away by Zhao Yann back then?"
It seemed like Yuan Tangzhong knew some inside information that the younger generation did not.
Old Mistress Yuan nodded. The silver strands in her hair sparkled. The Yuan Family's most authoritative woman was a little sad at this moment.
She lovingly caressed Zhao Ruoxin's hand and continued, "Qinger and Xin 'er were twin sisters. Unfortunately, Xin' er was born with a serious heart disease."
The Shu Family was also a wealthy family back then. If the child had a heart disease, it would not have been a big deal.
However, Zhao Ruoxin did not appear in front of the public in Luo Hai. This meant that the Shu Family must have a secret that no one knew about …
"After Zhao Yann gave birth to the two children, Shu Heng found out that she had an affair with her family doctor."
Old Mistress Yuan played it down, but such a thing would definitely be a scandal in an aristocratic family.
"After Shu Heng found out, he chased Zhao Yann out of the family and made her leave with nothing. Zhao Yann refused to accept this and went to the house many times, wanting a child.
"At that time, she found out that Shu Xin 'er was a child with a congenital defect. Thus, the Shu Family only agreed to let her take Xin' er away and keep Qinger. Just like that, the twin sisters were separated and raised separately. The child was renamed Zhao Ruoxin. "
The Yuan Family's young and old knew what happened next.
"Grandmother Shu and I have been best friends since we were young. When such a thing happened to her own family, she was overwhelmed with anxiety and her health deteriorated.
"When Qinger was four years old, Shu Heng also found a new love. His new wife married him and gave birth to their own child. Grandmother Shu was worried that Qinger would be wronged in the future due to her young age. Thus, she entrusted the child to the Yuan Family before she died … "
Old Mistress Yuan could not help but feel sad when she mentioned that her good sister had died early.
Zhao Ruoxin quickly comforted her in a low voice, "If Grandmother is watching from heaven, she wouldn't want to see Grandmother Yuan so sad …"
The girl's obedient voice was very pleasant to the ears. Mu Chenyan was momentarily dazzled as if she was looking at Shu Qinger's sweet and cute voice again …
Old Mistress Yuan wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and patted Ruoxin's little hand. She sighed with emotion. "I was thinking that since Little Xuan's parents had just passed away, bringing her here would firstly fulfill your grandmother's entrustment. Secondly, Qinger and Little Xuan are about the same age. The two of them would grow up together and be companions. If the two of them fall in love with each other, it wouldn't be a bad idea to be in-laws!"
Mu Chenyan could not help but sneak a glance at Yuan Xuan when she mentioned his in-laws.
This man was still very calm at this time, as if what Grandma said was not about him …
"Who would have thought that such a terrible thing would happen! Qinger is dead. I've let your grandma down … "
The more the old lady spoke, the sadder she became. She even began to weep in a low voice!
The whole family panicked and tried to comfort her!
Zhao Ruoxin was also touched by the scene and cried along with him. For a moment, the side hall was bustling with noise!
"Mother, it's been a long time. Don't be sad anymore!" Yuan Tangzhong consoled her.
His two daughters-in-law also said words of comfort. Wen Ya and Yuan Ran looked at each other, unable to understand the situation.
Especially Wen Ya, whose face was already ashen …
Only Mu Chenyan's expression was cold. She did not move an inch as she looked at the old and young crying in front of her. Even Yuan Xuan, who was beside her, had left her to comfort his grandmother …
In Shu Qinger's case, wasn't she also a victim?
Didn't they also pay a painful price in exchange for this marriage that wasn't recognized and blessed by others?
Now, her younger sister, who looked exactly like Shu Qinger, was standing in front of her, alive and well …
