Transmigrated As My Former Uncle's Sweetheart

Chapter 586: She Produced An Intimate Item Of His

The Dowager Duchess answered, sounding amused, “Do you think your grandmother is easily angered? Just say it.”

Lu Liangwei glanced at Long Yang before turning back her gaze toward the Dowager Duchess and saying, “Grandmother, you mentioned that Aunt Zheng came looking for Father all those years ago after she gave birth to Big Sis, claiming that she was his child. There was a huge gap between the time, so how were all of you so sure that Big Sis was Father’s child? Didn’t any of you suspect anything before?”

The look on the Dowager Duchess’ face softened when she heard this. “Of course we did. Your father even wanted to beat them to death when Aunt Zheng appeared with your older sister in her arms, hoping your father would acknowledge the child. He was adamant on not acknowledging Shuang’er as his daughter, but Madam Zheng was very sure of her words, insisting that Shuang’er was truly his. Moreover, the timing perfectly fit the time she was with your father, including the birth of Shuang’er. And the most crucial piece of evidence was that Madam Zheng was able to produce an intimate item that belonged to your father. Your mother almost threw up blood on the spot out of anger.”

The Dowager Duchess sighed. “When Madam Zheng returned that day, her clothes were shabby and her skin looked yellow with hunger. She was very skinny, almost like she was no longer able to hold onto life. She claimed that she never wanted to interrupt the life of your parents, but she was worried that your older sister would die of starvation if she had no one else but her mother, which was why she had come knocking. She tried to beg your mother to acknowledge your older sister, insisting that she did not want anything, not even a status.”

“Madam Zheng was a lone woman saved by your mother in her younger days. Your mother had seen how pitiful Madam Zheng was, so she kept her by her side, treating her like a sister. Your mother never expected to be betrayed by Madam Zheng, who had gotten into bed with your father…” At this point, she suddenly stopped as she remembered that Long Yang was in the room as well.

Long Yang had not intended to listen in on the Lu Family’s dark secret. Now that he had overheard it, he felt slightly embarrassed and gave an excuse to leave the room.

The Dowager Duchess felt more at ease when she saw him leave, so she continued, “I’ve mentioned before that your mother was a very kind woman when she was young. No matter how much she hated Madam Zheng, she had given birth to your father’s child. Even if your father killed both of them, it would not erase the fact that he had betrayed her. So, she stopped your dad from killing them. Moreover, the hatred she felt for your father was deeper than the hatred she had for Madam Zheng.”

“From her point of view, Madam Zheng was but a defenseless woman. If your father was unwilling, who could force him to do anything? Your mother believed that it was your father who did not reject Madam Zheng, and had ended up siring a child with her. Despite that, your father wanted to kill both mother and daughter, which made your mother think him to be merciless and cold-blooded. Your father had let your mother down, so he did not dare object to anything she said. That was why Madam Zheng and your older sister stayed. However, your father did not realize that even though your mother did not express anything on the surface at the time, she actually harbored a deep hatred for him ever since, which was why she left without saying a word in the end.”

Lu Liangwei’s frown deepened at this point of the story.

She felt that her mother was rather too emotional when she was younger.

Of course, Lu Liangwei had the standpoint of an observer now, which was why she could analyze the situation rationally.

How could her mother simply accept it when she suddenly found out that the husband she had loved so deeply had betrayed her?

Her next actions would obviously be irrational due to her anger.

Although, from Lu Liangwei’s point of view, whatever happened all those years ago had quite a number of loopholes.

Madam Zheng was a lone woman, so how did she manage to give birth to Lu Yunshuang? Why did she not return earlier, and had instead waited until Lu Yunshuang was born?

Lu Liangwei felt that whatever happened might not be as simple as everyone thought.

She looked at her still unconscious father on the bed, and suddenly thought about what the Dowager Duchess had said before. Her mother was her father’s life. Lu Liangwei felt like she had to do something, so she stood up and said to the Dowager Duchess, “Grandmother, I’d like to make a trip to White Cloud Temple.”

The Dowager Duchess frowned. “Are you planning to see Madam Zheng?”
