Chapter 1601: Chapter 1310: Who Destroyed Me_2

"Shut up—" Yu Yao interrupted her, visibly agitated, saying, "(You) shut up, Nuannuan is not that kind of person, she’s not, not..."

Aunt Tong said, "Lady, your health is not good, don’t get emotional. I... I said something wrong, it’s all my fault. Please don’t be angry, don’t be angry!"

Yu Yao couldn’t control her emotions, and sadness overwhelmed her.

She knew that she had truly caused Shi Nuan great harm. No, she had caused her own son great harm.

Her son valued Shi Nuan more than his life. With such a situation happening, how could he endure it?

Especially since she couldn’t go out to inform her son, who was searching for her whereabouts while handling Shi Nuan’s situation.

And with a heart full of scars.

She had lived a life of devout Buddhist faith, yet in middle age, suffered such a huge calamity.

How was she to atone in the future, how to atone!

Yu Yao was heartbroken, but she knew this was not the time for grieving.

She instructed Aunt Tong, "You go out, quickly go out, find A Yu, tell him, Nuannuan is framed, he mustn’t harm Nuannuan because of this, he has to be good to Nuannuan, has to be good..."

Aunt Tong was perplexed, "Lady, what’s wrong with you? Framed? I don’t quite understand?"

"Don’t worry about that, just go out now, quickly, hurry..."

Yu Yao said this and pushed Aunt Tong out. Aunt Tong was still puzzled when, at that moment, the door to Zhong Jinnan’s room opened.

He calmly looked at the two of them and said, "A Yao, I let your personal maid in, not to relay messages!"

Yu Yao furrowed her brows and said, "Zhong Jinnan, you’ve already ruined me. Do you want to ruin my son too? Do you hate me, hate us, the Song Family, that much?"

Zhong Jinnan chuckled softly and said, "Hate you? Perhaps. They say deep love breeds deep hate. I have lived for you all my life, yet I never achieved you. Indeed, I hate you, but I hate myself more. If it weren’t for being trapped by you, would my life be this burdensome? You say I ruined you? Then tell me, who ruined me? Who ruined me?"

Yu Yao bit her lip and said, "Zhong Jinnan, don’t forget, years ago I told you personally that I don’t owe you anything, and you agreed..." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"Yes, I agreed with you, so I haven’t disturbed you for all these years. But are you sure you want to live your life this way? Fifteen years, you have been by the side of someone who may never wake up for fifteen years, isn’t that enough? Perhaps you are willing, but I am not. I don’t want your life to be spent this way. So even if you hate me, I still want to take you away, I still believe I can take you away..."

"Bang—" With a sudden noise of a door slamming at that moment, coming from above.

Zhong Jinnan paused for a second, followed by the sound of footsteps.

He quickly turned his eyes to Aunt Tong, who hurriedly shook her head, "It’s not me... I, I don’t know, I didn’t tell anyone, I really didn’t say anything, please believe me..."

Yu Yaodao said, "Don’t scare Aunt Tong. She is very loyal to me; while I am in your hands, she wouldn’t dare speak to anyone else..."

Zhong Jinnan bit his lip and asked Yu Yao, "Does your son know about this secret room?"

...

Upstairs, Song Yansheng and Gu Zheng, along with others, had arrived at the backyard temple.

Song Yansheng looked around but did not see Aunt Tong anywhere.

He asked a nearby maid, saying, "Didn’t you say Aunt Tong came to the backyard temple? Where is she?"

The maid said, "It’s true, Aunt Tong has been coming to the backyard temple every day these past few days. She said that while the lady is not here, she will worship the ancestors of the Song Family on her behalf and chant Buddhist scriptures..."

"Then why isn’t she here?"

The little maid quickly shook her head, "I... I don’t know, but what I said is true, Aunt Tong really did come to the backyard temple, I saw it with my own eyes!"

Song Yansheng looked at the little maid, feeling she was likely not lying.

Gu Zheng was still inspecting around, and he clearly had more experience than Song Yansheng, quickly finding some clues.

He squatted there, touched the ground with his hand.

Song Yansheng asked, "What’s wrong? Did you find anything?"

"Here... there’s something like soup spilled..."

The maid heard this and quickly said, "I saw Aunt Tong making chicken soup today... Yes, she had chicken soup in the tray sent to the backyard temple earlier, I could smell the aroma!"

Gu Zheng and Song Yansheng exchanged glances and then raised their heads, looking at the plaques of the temple.

...

Inside the secret room, Aunt Tong and Yu Yao were down below.
