On the other hand, Su Zipei was sitting on the bed. Her face was as white as a sheet. Her sorrow was so obvious.

Lu Wenhua sat at the bedside and held her hand. He said, “Things have already happened. Don’t think too much about it anymore. Now, you just have to think about what is good for Qiqi.”

“There was a time when I hated her very much. Now that she is dead… Forget it, I don’t want to talk about it anymore.”

“Let me help you get up.”

Su Zipei nodded and looked at Lu Wenhua. She was suddenly reminded of Mama Mu’s last words, asking her to look into Shen Jianchuan.

“Let me help you lie down.”

But, she knew nothing about Shen Jianchuan. historical

So, before lying down, she asked, “Wenhua, do you know Shen Jianchuan?”

“Why wouldn’t I? He was the eldest son of the Shen family of very high military ranking and political status. He was a playboy, used to be a good friend with Mu, that scumbag. Then, he got into trouble and was beaten to a pulp. Now he is lying in the hospital in a vegetative state. It is understandable that you have never heard of him. Why do you ask about him all of a sudden?”

“It is nothing.” Su Zipei shook her head and lay down.

Although she had no idea what happened between Mama Mu and Shen Jianchuan, she definitely had to find out about it to honor her sister’s request.

After Mama Mu’s funeral, she would find out where he was now and look into Qiqi’s identity.

“You take a rest. I will take care of things in the hospital.”

“Thank you, Wenhua.” She felt much at ease with this man at her side. At least, at times like this, she could rely on someone.

…

Papa Mu only came to the hospital at night after a day had passed since the fire.

The first thing he did was identify Mama Mu’s body after the fire.

Looking at the burnt body that was hardly recognizable, Papa Mu’s eyes darkened. Then, he went to see Mu Tangxue in the ward.

“Daddy…” Mu Tangxue plunged into her father’s arms when she saw him.

“It’s fine, Xue’er. Everything is going to be alright,” said Papa Mu, hugging his daughter.

“But, Mommy… Mommy…”

“I know, I know. I have seen her.” Papa Mu’s eyes turned red. After all, they were husband and wife for more than ten years. He felt the pain.

“Your mother was very unfortunate.”

“Daddy, I wanted to save her. But the door was locked. Do you know why I could not open the door?”

“I was not there, how would I know? We will see what the police have to say,” explained Papa Mu.

When Mu Tangxue asked her father the question, she was actually implying that she really wanted to save her mother. She wanted to achieve her goal. She wanted her mother to get injured. But, that was all. She never wanted things to be like how it was now.

But, she just could not open her room door no matter how hard she tried.

If it was not her father, she could not think of anyone else who could have contributed to what happened.

But still, it was her stupidity to let her father have such a perfect alibi that he was overseas.

If the case was closed as an accident, it would be good. But, if it was incidental, she would have to take all the blame herself. She never expected that her father could be so cruel even to his family!

“Everything is going to be alright.”

Mu Tangxue clenched her hands because she knew that staying by her father’s side would mean dealing with a tiger. She could be dead any second when she was considered a threat to him. When it happened, she would be sacrificed. She had to find evidence to prove that her father was involved in the fire. If not, how could she get away with it?

“I will give your mother a grand funeral. She was a pitiful woman.”

“I don’t think my aunt will let us touch Mommy anymore.”

“Why not? We were not divorced anyway.”

Why wouldn’t he let Su Zipei touch Mama Mu’s body? The explanation was simple. He did not want her to get the chance to find out any clue from her body, not even a single strand of detail.

So, although Papa Mu and Mu Tangxue looked as if they loved Mama Mu very much, they were actually having their own axes to grind.

Soon, Mu Tangxue was discharged from the hospital. When they were in the police station, the police officer gave them Mama Mu’s belongings.

“Two rings and a pair of earrings. Take a look, is there something else?”

Mu Tangxue cried on the spot, but she still reached out her hands and took her mother’s belongings.

“I give you my deepest condolences. We are still investigating the cause of the fire. When we get the answer, we will inform you.”

“Thank you, sir.”

Mu Tangxue kept the rings with her. They went to Grandpa Mu’s house since their house was burnt down.

After hearing that Mama Mu was burnt to death, he could not help but sigh.

Grandpa Mu even called Papa Mu into his study and asked, “How did Ziqing pass away?”

“There was a fire.”

“I know that Ziqing was asking for a divorce from you. I heard that you promised her without hesitation. This did not look like your way of handling matters. Did you already know that Ziqing…”

“Father! Things cannot be simply said,” Papa Mu snapped. Then he said, “I was back from Japan just recently.”

Grandpa Mu snorted and pointed to Papa Mu. He said, “If I get to know that this incident is related to you, don’t blame me when I disown you!”

“Father, you’ve really misunderstood me!”

Mu Tangxue stood outside the study and heard their conversation. Even Grandpa Mu did not believe that Papa Mu was innocent, let alone Mu Tangxue.

But now that Mu Qiqi and Su Zipei had already named her the culprit, how could she prove her innocence?

Thinking of this, Mu Tangxue clenched the rings in her hand. Her mind was filled with images of her mother’s burnt face.

…

Mu Qiqi slept for one day and one night. She did not wake up the whole day but she kept having nightmares and muttered in her sleep. Sheng Xiao stayed beside her the whole day.

After taking a nap, Su Zipei got up and went to Mu Qiqi’s new home. She met with Sheng Xiao and they discussed the secret in the study.

“Young Master Sheng, I do not want to talk about this with any other person, so I can only ask for your help.”

“Go on.” Sheng Xiao did not forget that Mu Qiqi was already his woman and she was now still sleeping after some intense sex.

“You know Shen Jianchuan, right?”

“Shen Jianchuan? Of course I know him. Our families are friends. They have always been invited to our house. The only thing is that he has been lying in the hospital for many years,” replied Sheng Xiao. Then he asked, “Why are you asking about him?”

“So are the two families close?”

“Of course, according to seniority, I should address Shen Jianchuan as my big brother.”

“Qiqi might be his daughter!” shouted Su Zipei. Ignoring all the factors, Sheng Xiao was the only person left to discuss the matter with.

Sheng Xiao was astonished when he heard what she said. He opened his eyes wide and said, “Aunt Su, this is no laughing matter. You know, if what you say is real, Qiqi has to address me as Uncle!”

“What? Are you biologically related?”

“Not really. It is just that we are very close,” explained Sheng Xiao.

“That’s a relief. But what is more important now is to make sure if it is true.”

Sheng Xiao nodded in agreement. “I will see how to go about this.”

As a matter of fact, if Mu Qiqi was really related to the Shen family as revealed by Su Zipei, he would be her uncle. Although he did not mind about seniority, the elders in his family would definitely find it awkward.

It looked like he had to make a plan quickly before anyone interfered with his relationship with Mu Qiqi.
