Chapter 849: Chapter 849: An “Accident
In short, the bond between Old Lady Yu and her sister was very deep. Who would have thought that in Yu Wanyun’s sixteenth year, an accident would rewrite a young girl’s fate, causing Wanqiu, Old Lady Yu’s elder sister, to regret deeply to this day.
——The sister-in-law was mistaken by the drunken brother-in-law as his own wife, and something that shouldn’t have happened, happened.
“That wasn’t your fault.”
Old Man Xiao understood Old Lady Yu’s inner pain more than anyone. He sighed, and just like many times before when he consoled Old Lady Yu, he said, “It was destiny playing a trick, causing that incident to happen. No one wanted it. Besides, Miss Yun herself knows it wasn’t your fault. She never blamed you, even willing to give birth to the child in her belly for your sake, and that’s how Pingan came to be.”
Pingan is the nickname of the child Yu Wanyun gave birth to.
“But to this day, I still feel what happened that day was too coincidental. Even if he doesn’t admit it, I still believe he is inextricably linked to it.”
Even if he was drunk from socializing outside, lying in bed, couldn’t he really recognize whether it was her?
Besides… besides, he didn’t have much affection for her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken two concubines into the backyard just two years after she entered the household.
The most crucial point is, he hadn’t entered her courtyard for nearly two months before that day, let alone slept with her, so how could he, after such a long time… suddenly step into her courtyard?
And she also happened to be called away from the room by the butler due to household matters at that exact time, thinking her sister Yun had just finished her academic exams and was tired from shopping with friends outside. She let her sister lie on her bed for a rest, and arranged for the head maid to guard outside the door.
As a result, at the time of the incident, there wasn’t a single servant in the courtyard.
Later, she thoroughly investigated all the maids and servants in the courtyard, although a few with unclean hands were dealt with, they couldn’t find any trace of those involved in that incident.
If she said it wasn’t someone plotting in advance, she wouldn’t believe it!
But who could quietly manipulate things in her courtyard other than that man? She couldn’t think of a second person. So, her suspicion of him was not without reason.
“Decades have passed, even if the whole thing involved your husband, what could you do about it? You’re just being too serious, and this is only making things difficult for yourself, causing you suffering!”
Old Man Xiao had stayed by Old Lady Yu’s side for many years; he truly didn’t want to see someone he kept in his heart continuously trapped in guilt and pain.
Life is nearly at its end, can’t you let go and live a bit more freely?
“You don’t understand…”
Old Lady Yu shook her head, wiping tears, she said, “If it weren’t for that accident, Yun’er wouldn’t have become pregnant, wouldn’t have died from excessive bleeding in childbirth to have that child… I killed her, it was me who killed her!”
Old Man Xiao: “Miss Yun chose to give birth to that child willingly!”
Old Lady Yu: “But that was also for me. She did it so I could secure my position as the head wife, to solidify my standing in that household. If she had just gotten rid of it when she found out, Yun’er would definitely be fine!”
“Then what about Young Master Pingan?”
If Miss Yun hadn’t given birth to the child, how could there be the later Young Master Pingan? Old Man Xiao said, “Even after you married your husband for many years, there was no news of a child. Actually, Miss Yun was more anxious than you, she loved you, her sister,
and didn’t want to see you suffer from not having a child. I guess it was mostly based on this thought that after realizing something was different with her body,
