Chapter 1109: Only death can prove my innocence
Translator: 549690339
Tears welled up in Xia rushuang’s eyes. She shook her head and said,”Uncle ... I don’t want to, I want to live, but ... I have no choice, I really have no other choice. Only death can prove my innocence ...”
The old man let out a long sigh and sat by the bed.”Even if you really want to prove your innocence, you shouldn’t have used such a stupid method. If you really die, you’ll have nothing.”
“Uncle, do you believe me?” Xia rushuang sobbed. “I really didn’t do anything. I’m not even afraid of death. Why would I harm qingsi? she’s just a child. I’m already this old. I have everything. Why should I be calculative with her?”
The old man sighed.”I haven’t known qingsi for long. It’s hard for me to say how she is now, but I’ve watched you grow up. How can I not trust your character? I know about this. There must be a misunderstanding. I’ve already told an LAN.”
“Actually, I’ve been wanting to come and see you for the past two days, but an LAN didn’t allow me to. However, the fact that he allowed me to come today shows that he’s moved.”
“Really?” Xia rushuang was delighted. Brother LAN, he ...”
Old master patted Xia rushuang on the shoulder and said,””Of course it’s true. We’re all family. You’re like my own daughter to me. Even if an LAN doesn’t believe you, I’ll still believe you. Besides, there’s no solid evidence to prove that you were the one behind qingsi’s incident. I can’t let them slander you like this.”
Xia rushuang was overjoyed to the point of tears.”Thank you, uncle. Thank you. If it wasn’t for you, I’m afraid that I really ... Wouldn’t have been able to leave this place.”
The old man consoled her.”Don’t worry. Promise me that you’ll be fine. There are many things to do at home. An LAN has been too busy these few days. I don’t think she has much energy to spare on you. When you’re discharged, go back to sea city with you Yi.”
“Uncle, did ... Did something big happen at home?” Xia rushuang asked.
She saw a pained expression flash across the old master’s face.
The old man nodded.”An LAN said that there’s been a huge breakthrough in Xiao’ AI’s death 17 years ago. They’re about to find the person behind it. There are no more clues about the fire when she was 5 years old, but the clues from 17 years ago haven’t been wiped clean.”
Xia rushuang was shocked. If it weren’t for the fact that her face was already pale, it would have been drained of all color by now.
“Is ... Is this true?” she asked.
“It should be true. He didn’t tell me the details when I asked, in case I was sad.”
Xia rushuang’s palms broke out in a cold sweat. She asked,””By the way, uncle, how’s Auntie doing? she’s been in the hospital for so long, but I haven’t visited her even once.”
“I forgot to tell you. She’s already conscious. The doctor gave her a new medicine. Because peiwan is old, he didn’t dare to use too large a dose every time. She should wake up in a day or two.”
Xia rushuang clenched her fists.”That’s ... That’s great. That’s great ... I knew it. Auntie would be fine.”
Grandpa Shen laughed.”She can’t bear to part with qingsi. She hasn’t given qingsi everything she promised. She still wants to see qingsi get married.”
It was almost time. The old man stood up.”Rest well. Don’t worry. I’m here. You’ll be fine.”
“Thank you, uncle.”
Xia rushuang watched gratefully as the old master left. When the door closed, her face instantly darkened.
In the other room, Yan qingsi looked at the monitor and smiled.””I didn’t expect grandpa’s acting to be so good.”
