After Marrying the Officer-Chapter 899: The Truth of That Year

Strike at the vitals, Aunt Xia’s words turned Mother Xia’s face ashen.

"I didn’t, I’m not a child trafficker, I didn’t steal the child!" Finally, Mother Xia shrieked, "The child was swapped by traffickers!"

After Mother Xia shouted, everyone present fell silent.

By now, Mother Xia no longer remembered Xia Lan’s instructions, her heart was just worried for herself, and feared she wouldn’t reunite with her husband after death.

"I didn’t, I really didn’t steal the child!" Once the defenses collapsed, Mother Xia said everything.

"Back then, someone swapped the child; I didn’t know..." Mother Xia sobbed, saying, "I didn’t swap the child, it was traffickers, they swapped deliberately to evade capture... Boo hoo hoo... My child was also lost, I’m a victim too, boo hoo hoo..."

Listening to Mother Xia’s "excuses", everyone had different expressions, but no one sympathized with her, including Uncle Xia.

After a while, Uncle Xia snapped out of his shock and heavily questioned Mother Xia: "So, you knew all along that Chuyi wasn’t your child?"

Upon hearing Uncle Xia’s question, Mother Xia’s body slightly stiffened, wiped her tears, and said: "At that time... because of Cheng Gui’s matter, I didn’t notice the child... I realized later that the child had been swapped... But, suddenly the child’s grandparents came... I, I didn’t dare let them know..."

Mother Xia’s voice grew quieter, softer.

But everyone had already understood thoroughly.

Back then, the child was swapped by traffickers, and Mother Xia, immersed in the grief of her husband’s death, didn’t notice for a while.

By the time she realized, Grandpa Xia and Grandma Xia were there, and to avoid their blame and being cast out of the Xia Family by them, she simply went along with the mistake.

"Just because of this, you took someone else’s child?" Hearing this, Uncle Xia was somewhat incredulous, his eyes grew redder, and he roared, "That was someone else’s child!"

"What about the child of you and your husband? Where did your biological child go?" For the first time in his life, Uncle Xia agreed with others’ assessment of his sister—beyond saving.

If Uncle Xia hadn’t asked about Mother Xia’s biological child, it would have been better; once asked, Mother Xia suddenly cried even harder, saying: "My child, my child was taken by traffickers!"

"Boo hoo hoo, at least Chuyi grew up well with me, but what about my child?" Mother Xia said, aggrieved, "My child, who knows how much suffering they’ve endured out there..."

To this day, Mother Xia not only doesn’t feel she’s done anything wrong, she feels she’s been greatly wronged.

Suddenly, Mother Xia lunged at Uncle Xia, full of hope, and said to him: "Right, Xia Lan says she knows where my child is, brother, can you help me find my child?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"The lies were also forced by Xia Lan, she threatened me, saying if I revealed Chuyi’s identity, she’d never tell me the child’s whereabouts!" Mother Xia began to cry relentlessly.

"I now realize how wicked Xia Lan is! I’ve told you everything now, she definitely won’t tell me where my child is anymore, so sister begs you, will you help me, will you help me find my child?"
