"Guess, it's something Mom likes." An Zhisu gave a reminder.
Bai Xinci became interested: "Oh? You know what I like again."
"I don't know anything else, but I'm sure you will like this." An Zhisu said firmly.
Bai Xinci became more interested and thought for a while before saying something.
"No, no, Mom, please be careful and guess. I'll give you another hint. It's something from your past." An Zhisu shook his head and gave another hint.
Bai Xinci couldn't guess even more, and begged for mercy: "Zhisu, please spare mom, mom has the brains of an old man, where can I guess?"
"Okay, okay, mom, you open it and take a look." An Zhisu just wanted to make Bai Xinci happy, and handed the gift box to Bai Xinci without thinking about it. Bai Xinci received a lot of gifts on weekdays, and other people didn't say anything.
My son alone would give her this and that from time to time. Logically speaking, he should have been immune to gifts for a long time. It was rare for a gift to make her feel particularly fond and looking forward to it.
.
But when she was opening the gift box from her daughter-in-law, she couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation in her heart. Especially when she saw her daughter-in-law's expression that she was sure she would like it, she accelerated her movements and quickly opened it.
Opened the gift box.
Unpacking the outer gift box, there was a small velvet jewelry box inside, which looked like a ring or something. But when she opened it, Bai Xinci was stunned for a moment.
It's not a ring at all, but a pair of jade earrings.
Bai Xinci's eyes heated up, and she touched the pair of earrings lying quietly in the box with a trembling hand. Her clear vision was involuntarily blurred by a layer of water vapor. These earrings, these earrings were worn by her when she was young.
She couldn't even remember the year it was donated by her. After so many years, it was back in her hands. Bai Xinci was so happy and moved that she couldn't stop crying.
It rolled down from the corner of his eyes and dripped on the jade earrings.
"Mom..." An Zhisu was startled: "Mom, what's wrong with you? You, don't you like it?"
An Zhisu asked the next words tremblingly, fearing that he would make Bai Xinci cry. Why did she cry when she saw this pair of jade earrings?
"No, no, Mom likes it, Mom likes it very much." Bai Xinci shook her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, but no matter how she wiped them, the tears would still overflow from her eyes.
An Zhisu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took out a tissue to wipe her tears: "Mom, please stop crying. It scared me to death. I thought you didn't like it."
Bai Xinci laughed through tears and took her hand: "Silly boy, how could mom not like it? It's just that it feels unreal to have something that has been lost for a long time again."
This sentence instantly touched An Zhisu's heart. She glanced at the other gift box, and then nodded heavily: "Mom, I can understand your mood. But don't cry. Your eyes are not good, and you can't do it at night."
cry."
"Okay, okay, mom, don't cry, don't cry anymore." Bai Xinci's smile returned to her face. She touched the pair of jade earrings dearly and asked, "Zhisu, where did you buy these pair of earrings?"
?”
An Zhisu told Bai Xinci the truth truthfully.
Bai Xinci felt incredible after hearing this: "This is such a coincidence."
An Zhisu nodded: "I think it's a coincidence."
"This shows that the young madam, the eldest young master, and madam you are really destined to become a family. Otherwise, how could the young madam know by such a coincidence in the vast sea of people that these earrings are your old possessions, madam." Aunt Rong on the side said with emotion.
"Yes, it seems that things like fate are really destined." Bai Xinci also nodded deeply.
An Zhisu touched another gift box, looked at Ye Lancheng, and then nodded.
In the past, An Zhisu didn't understand fate and always thought it was an illusory thing, but now she understands.
The so-called fate probably means that after two people meet at a certain point in time, they will either never be separated from each other for any reason. Or they will live separately after separation, but they will meet again at another point in time in the future.
She and Ye Lancheng belonged to the latter group. They had crossed paths twice, separated twice, and never saw each other again. But round and round, she dramatically became his wife, and fell in love with him unconsciously.
How wonderful and destined.
The couple stayed with Bai Xinci downstairs for a while before going upstairs. Lao Jiu hadn't left yet, so he followed them up to the second floor. He had something to report to Ye Lancheng, so Ye Lancheng pulled An Zhisu along, and the three of them went to the study.
"Why are you dragging me into business?" An Zhisu was puzzled.
"It's not official business," Ye Lancheng said.
"Huh?" An Zhisu simply looked at Lao Jiu, waiting for his answer.
Lao Jiu immediately answered: "Young madam, it's like this. A few days ago, the young master asked me to check on Ding Qi's mother. I sent someone to Ding Qi's hometown and found some information. It was just sent here today.
"
The name Ding Qi instantly made An Zhisu become serious. She immediately asked: "What was found?" Lao Jiuyi said: "The people who went to Ding Qi's hometown to investigate said that his mother Chen Peilan had committed suicide ten years ago.
He is crazy and now lives in a lunatic asylum. He is quite crazy and does not know anyone. The Ding family is an outsider in that place and they are the only one in the village.
The family named Ding has no other relatives, so no one knows where Ding Qi is now."
"Crazy?" An Zhisu asked in surprise: "He went crazy ten years ago. Ding Qi was still a child at that time, right? His mother is crazy and his father is dead. Who raised him?"
"I heard from the villagers that he was sent to the welfare home at first, but then he got lost. The management mechanism of the welfare home was not perfect, and he was the son of a murderer, so no one looked for him, and he disappeared later.
No news." Lao Jiu replied.
"The son of a murderer!" An Zhisu asked again in surprise: "Has his parents killed anyone?"
Lao Jiu nodded and said with a complicated expression: "It was his mother who killed his father."
An Zhisu took a breath, his scalp was slightly numb, and his voice was slightly trembling: "Why?" Lao Jiu said: "I heard from the villagers that Ding's mother was abducted and sold to Ding's father as his wife. In the first few years,
She always wanted to run away, but every time she was caught by Ding's father, she was beaten severely. Later, when she became pregnant with Ding Qi, Ding's mother accepted her fate. But Ding's father was too lazy to eat.
The family was often too poor to open the door. After Ding Qi was born, he spent several years in prison for stealing. After he was released from prison, he not only failed to take on the responsibility of raising his son, but also often beat and scolded his young son. Both mother and son were beaten every now and then.
Such days lasted until Ding Qi was twelve years old. The villagers said that day was Ding Qi's birthday. Ding Qi was smart since he was a child, and his academic performance was the first in the school every year. That summer he took the first place again, and again
It's his birthday. Ding's mother spends money for her son
I bought a cake to celebrate my son's birthday. But when Ding's father came back, he said that Ding's mother was a waste of money. Not only did he throw the cake, but he also beat Ding's mother. Ding Qi tried to stop him but was beaten by Ding's father. He endured it.
After more than ten years of domestic violence, Ding’s mother finally reached the verge of breaking out and picked up the kitchen knife.
So Ding's father was hacked to death. When the neighbors heard Ding's screams and thought something was wrong, they ran to Ding's house to see the tragedy. The tragedy had already happened. Ding's father was slashed on the main artery in his neck and died on the spot.
.What happened is clear at a glance. Ding’s mother killed Ding’s father. This is unacceptable.
Disputed facts: When the police arrived, Ding’s mother was taken away. Ding’s mother also confessed to the crime of hacking Ding’s father to death, and frantically cursed Ding’s father to deserve to die. It is said that she went crazy at the police station that night. Later, the police
After investigating the cause and effect, we found out that Mother Ding committed the murder in self-defense, and because she was crazy, the court sentenced her to a suspended death sentence and locked her up in a mental institution until now."
