Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 187: Double Dilemmas

"After hearing the truth, Mrs. Xu refused to believe it, until Huang Tao took her back to Haoyue Manor and placed her in a hidden spot where she could see Chen Qi being affectionate with another woman. Only then did Mrs. Xu lose hope with tears."

"Originally, Mrs. Xu wanted to leave secretly for her child, but unexpectedly, Huang Tao wouldn’t allow it and ordered people to force a drug with musk into her."

"Later, Mrs. Xu lost her child, then her husband, and she became mentally unstable. Eventually, she disappeared without a trace."

Le Zhao sighed lightly, "It is said that this matter was handled very discreetly, and almost no one knew about it at the time." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Then, how did the old man know?" Xuan Ming asked, puzzled.

Le Zhao said, "He was an old servant at Haoyue Manor. At that time, Huang Tao had him take the person down the mountain. To verify the truth, I accompanied this old man and personally saw him enter the house at Haoyue Manor at the foot of the mountain before returning."

"Mrs. Xu went missing, didn’t Chen Qi look for her?" Xuan Ying frowned.

Le Zhao chuckled, "How could Mrs. Xu possibly disappear without reason? It’s clear who did it, so how could Chen Qi not know?"

"Then doesn’t he hate Huang Tao? After all, it’s his wife and child!" Xuan Ying asked again.

Duan Yunfei sneered, "What are a wife and child compared to the position of manor owner at Haoyue Manor?"

"And what about Huang Tao?" Xuan Ying said, "Doesn’t she have any regrets in her heart?"

"What’s the use of regrets?" Le Zhao said, "Not to mention her deep-rooted feelings for Chen Qi, even if she didn’t have those feelings, she wouldn’t publicly announce her parting with Chen Qi to preserve her own dignity and that of Haoyue Manor."

The esteemed lady of Haoyue Manor who took another woman’s husband—with this news spread, she’d suffer greatly just from society’s gossip alone.

"Mrs. Xu is really too pitiful!" Xuan Ying said with a face full of sympathy, "She lost her husband, her child is gone, she’s lost her mind, and no one knows if she’s dead or alive now."

Xuan Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "So, the young master can’t possibly be Chen Qi’s child then?"

Duan Yunfei pondered, "Who can guarantee everything that old man said is true? After all, the age is right there."

Le Zhao nodded at the words, "Calculating the years, if the child wasn’t lost, he would indeed be about the same age as Feng Wuya."

"So, there’s still a strong possibility the young master could be Chen Qi’s child?" Xuan Ying’s small face suddenly wrinkled, "But the young master looks nothing like Chen Qi at all!"

Le Zhao said, "It’s just a possibility, not a certainty."

Duan Yunfei felt a heaviness in his heart. If Feng Wuya is really a spy placed by Chen Qi in Haoyue Manor, then what should his sister do?

For all these years, both parents and everyone at Yongning Manor have treated Feng Wuya as one of their own. If they were to discover the truth, how saddened would they be?

"Don’t think too much," Le Zhao comforted, "Perhaps it’s just a coincidence."

"A coincidence?" Duan Yunfei smiled bitterly, thinking that if it were merely a coincidence, why would Feng Wuya be so determined to kill his father?

He also hoped it was just a coincidence!

Even now, he dared not question whether Feng Wuya might indeed be connected to Haoyue Manor.

At this moment, he suddenly felt like backing down, thinking that perhaps not knowing the truth might be better.

If the truth is as he fears, he would be the one to personally ruin his sister’s happiness, but if he doesn’t uncover the truth, his father could lose his life to Feng Wuya at any moment.

Backing out is not right, nor is not backing out, so what is the best course of action for him?
