Xia Tian and Liu Ying were soaking together in the big wooden bathtub, and Liu Ying leaned forward with a bright blush on her face. In her entire life, Liu Ying never thought that one day she would show her naked body to her own son, let alone bathe naked with him. But now, her son had seen her naked body, and she could even feel his fingers on her bare back.
Xia Tian himself didn't do anything out of the ordinary, he just cleaned Liu Ying's back with a cloth-covered stone. "You can start telling me about my father death, Ying'er."
'Isn't this really weird? He calls my late husband as his father, yet he calls me by my name directly.' Liu Ying inwardly muttered, until this moment she still couldn't adapt to her son's changes, especially the way he addressed her, and also all his treatment. She sighed softly, then began to tell him. "About the deaths of your father and uncle, to this day we haven't been able to find any actual facts. But even so, we did find one clue that points to one family, and that family is the Liu Main Family."
"The Liu Main Family? You mean your own family killed them?" Xia Tian was taken aback by this info, and Liu Ying nodded at him. "Only one clue? And no further clues?"
Liu Ying shook her head, then continued. "So far there are no further clues, but I believe that it was their doing. As you already know, I come from the Liu main family, while your father is from the Xia branch family. Some of the Liu family elders have always opposed our marriage, and even your grandfather Liu Ming, he also strongly opposes our marriage."
Xia Tian fell silent, as he tried to digest Liu Ying's words, he himself was not surprised by such a thing, because it often happened because of the difference in status between the main family and the branch family. Even in his past life, he also often encountered such problems, because some of his friends also experienced the same thing.
As Xia Tian remained silent, Liu Ying immediately continued again. "And Liu Rouyan, one of the female elders in the Liu Main Family, she has always insisted on marrying me off to the only son of the Luo Main Family. But at that time I firmly refused, I ran away from home with your father, and we went to a very remote village, we got married in that village, and a year later you were born."
The story left Xia Tian dumbfounded, unexpectedly their feelings were so deep, and their struggle to get married was really interesting. Since he had finished cleaning Liu Ying's back, then he turned her body to face him.
It made Liu Ying blush even more, and her heart skipped a beat, as her son started rubbing her front body with the cloth-covered stone. Moreover, she could also feel the touch of his fingers against her smooth skin, which made Liu Ying moan softly.
However, her expression suddenly became full of sorrow, and Liu Ying then continued in a sad tone. "We lived in that village until you were seven years old, but one day your grandfather Xia Ling found us, he came to pick us up, and brought us back to this Xia Manor. At first things went well, and none of the Liu Main Family who knew of our return, but one day your father and uncle went hunting beasts, and they both disappeared for a few days. Then your grandfather Xia Ling went to look for them, but sadly, they had died when your grandfather found them. And in your father's hands, he holding the Liu family plaque."
Xia Tian raised his eyebrows hearing that, in his mind, he was trying to connect all the clues into one, as his hands continued to clean Liu Ying's body.
"A week later your grandfather Liu ming and several elders came here including Liu Rouyan, they came to take me back, but I refused them vehemently, and they tried to take me by force, then we fought them. But at that time suddenly you and Xing'er appeared, and when Liu Rouyan saw you, she immediately attacked you. Your two grandfathers tried to stop her, but they were too late and Liu Rouyan managed to injure you, although you survived but your spiritual root were crippled." Liu Ying's heart grew heavy telling him that, Xia Tian could feel her mood, he pulled Liu Ying into his lap, and he hugged her tightly, then Liu Ying continued again. "That time Zhu Yuhe came and stopped our fight, she tried to mediate between the two families. Your two grandfathers had a big fight, because your grandfather Liu Ming denied all the accusations, he said that he never ordered his subordinates or elders to kill your father and uncle, and since then I have cut ties with them. And the reason why you can't remember everything, maybe it's the result of Liu Rouyan's attack on you."
Liu Ying looked at her son who didn't speak at all, moreover his expression was very serious, and it seemed that he was thinking about something.
What Liu Ying thought was correct, Xia Tian was indeed deep in thought, and he was digesting the whole story, moments later he came to a conclusion.
"What is the name of that Luo main family son?" Xia Tian's expression turned vile when he asked that. (f)reewe(b)novel
Liu Ying was taken aback by his question and expression. "His name is Luo Chengsu. But why are you asking about him?"
Xia Tian sighed softly, then he said. "In my opinion, Liu Rouyan was Luo Chengsu's accomplice, and it was the two of them who killed father and uncle."
Liu Ying was surprised to hear that, because she and Xia Ling had never thought of that possibility before, so she asked curiously. "What makes you so sure that Liu Rouyan and Luo Chengsu killed them?"
