Chapter 1223: A Twist in the Story
Yuan Ruxin suddenly stood up: "You’re not this woman’s biological child, are you?"She knew it was fake!
Xixi hadn’t even finished speaking before she was forcefully dragged over by the woman.
"You wretched girl, what nonsense are you spouting again?!"
The woman looked at Zhi’er and Yuan Ruxin: "She’s always lying just to get some food. It’s been really hard for us on the road!"
Saying that, she slapped Xixi.
Zhi’er shouted, "What are you doing hitting the child!"
Xixi, clutching her cheek, cried with grievance: "I want to find my mom!"
The woman, furious, said: "I am your mom! You little wench, keep this up and I’ll bury you here, with your dad!"
Yuan Ruxin frowned: "How can you say something like that, she’s just a child, that’s too much!"
Xixi’s crying grew louder.
The woman dragged her to the side to scold her.
Yuan Ruxin looked at Zhi’er: "Master, let’s give this woman a beating, totally unjustifiable."
Zhi’er’s dark eyes were deep: "Is it the hour yet?"
Yuan Ruxin nodded: "Almost!"
The last thirty minutes were nearly up.
Zhi’er slightly narrowed her eyes: "Ruxin, it seems the little girl might really be your sister."
"What?!" Yuan Ruxin’s eyes widened.
She couldn’t see, but what Zhi’er could see was a vague ghost, standing beside the woman, glaring at her fiercely.
The louder Xixi cried, the more intense the ghost’s rage became.
Zhi’er suddenly asked: "Did your uncle have a bracelet when he was alive? It was tourmaline, with four Buddha beads hanging below."
Yuan Ruxin nodded: "Master, you’re incredible, that was my uncle’s usual plaything when he was alive!"
"But it was lost during the burial, my father couldn’t find it anywhere."
Zhi’er could almost be certain that the ghost standing by the woman was Second Master Yuan himself.
He saw her hitting his own daughter, naturally he was displeased.
"The hour has arrived!" a house servant shouted.
Everyone gathered around: "Look! The blood seeped into the bone! She is Yuan Residence’s biological daughter!"
The woman heard this, delighted.
Zhi’er observed her expression, slightly knitting her brows.
It seems that those behind this must be quite powerful, they’ve thoroughly investigated that Second Master Yuan indeed has a lost daughter outside.
But this woman was a helper they found, she knows nothing of the little girl’s true identity.
The woman proudly said to Zhi’er: "I’ve said all along that she is the biological child of Second Old Master, but you refused to believe so and planned to shut the biological child of Second Old Master out in collusion!"
"Fortunately, heaven has eyes, you can’t escape!"
At that moment, Xixi shook off her hand and ran crying to Zhi’er, trembling as she hid in her embrace.
"Sister, she’s not my mom!"
Some genuine onlookers around were stunned.
The woman cursed angrily: "You wench, how dare you lie?"
Xixi hurriedly said: "My mom is sick and almost dying, she came to my house and told my mom she could take me to my dad! My mom agreed, but she was bedridden and couldn’t come with us!"
"On the road, this aunt told me if I don’t behave, she won’t give my mom Silver for her treatment!"
"Nor let me see my dad, and made me call her mom!"
"Sister, I’m not her child!"
The woman, in a furious rage, came rushing over, trying to slap the child.
But she didn’t know that the ghost always following her reached out abruptly and pushed her hard.
"Ah—!" The woman rolled down the small slope, headlong into the freshly dug grave.
Her head hit the corner of the coffin, and blood poured out instantly.
The people around were all dumbfounded.
Zhi’er covered Xixi’s eyes immediately.
Yuan Ruxin, breathing heavily: "Quick, go check, how is she?"
In the coffin, the woman was lying motionless.
The bravest house servant went up to check, hurriedly pulled back his hand: "Dead...dead!"
