Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 3073: Chapter 3009: Tricking Someone Away

Because she had consumed that Illusionary Talisman Diagram and was slapped by Jiang Xiao, Mei Chunhong didn’t show any particular emotion, just stopped what she was saying.

"Where was Red Bean before the Hongfeng Welfare Institute? What was she doing?"

"I don’t know. I only know she was abducted by our people to Huchuan City, then sent to the Second Master, and ended up bewitching the Second Master into a stupor. I asked the Second Master, and the Second Master said our people tricked her away from a mountain village. At that time, Red Bean was in a bit of a daze, seemingly always looking for her daughter, so our people made up a lie, saying they would take her to find her daughter, and directly deceived her into coming with them."

Looking for her daughter...

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but feel a pang in her heart.

Has Shi Xiaoching been searching for her daughter all along?

Her daughter, isn’t that her?

But, when Chen Zhu took her away, she was just an infant. So many years passed, and Shi Xiaoching was still looking for her?

Could it be she was always wandering outside, searching for her daughter?

If she really wanted to search, shouldn’t she have first looked nearby in Siyang Village?

If back then Shi Xiaoching was looking for her daughter in Siyang Village, the villagers would certainly remember it. After all, it’s a small village, and anything unusual would draw the whole village’s attention.

But when they asked around the village before, no one mentioned this.

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and asked, "Was Red Bean’s mental state bad?"

Mei Chunhong shook her head, "I heard at first she was a bit dazed, but after spending so much time with her, I didn’t find anything wrong. It’s just that she’s introverted and doesn’t talk. No, it’s not even introversion; it’s indifference. She doesn’t care about people or things, doesn’t mind, and is too lazy to talk. Nevertheless, she’s always been quite clear-headed."

She paused for a moment and then said, "Not only clear-headed, I think she’s really smart. She picks up things very quickly and can infer other things from one example."

Shi Xiaoching this smart? Then she certainly didn’t seem to be in a daze from a shock.

Jiang Xiao didn’t know what she felt inside.

"Did she ever talk about her own affairs?"

"No, rarely. Like I said, Red Bean is like that type who you can’t get a word out of with three pokes."

"Has anyone ever come to look for her?"

"No. She says she doesn’t know anyone and has no friends."

"Did she just like painting?"

"Oh, right. She liked painting, but who knows where all the paintings went. I only secretly took two of hers because Red Bean painted pretty well."

Jiang Xiao asked a few more questions. Indeed, Mei Chunhong didn’t know much more.

But that painting, she really did give it to Deng Qingjiang.

After Jiang Xiao finished questioning her, she no longer paid her any attention. One thing was certain: Red Bean was indeed Shi Xiaoching. Shi Xiaoching’s mental state and condition at that time were good. She had something that the Dragon King wanted. Because of that thing, someone wanted to kill her, someone wanted to find that object. Shi Xiaoching survived that big fire back then; she didn’t die at all. Yet even Mei Chunhong doesn’t know where she is now.

But as long as she’s alive, there’s always a trail to follow.

She tossed Mei Chunhong aside and fed Deng Qingjiang the Illusionary Talisman Diagram.
