Chapter 1866 - 1868: Yang Qiu’s Plea
Guo Feng never expected that Yang Qiu would be standing outside. When he saw her eyes filled with tears, he knew that Yang Qiu had heard his conversation with his parents. He didn’t know how to explain this to Yang Qiu, so he could only call her name, "Yang Qiu."
Yang Qiu was arranged to rest in the guest room of the main courtyard. She had a habit of needing to go to the bathroom before sleeping to feel at ease. After washing up, she went out to the bathroom and saw Guo Feng arriving at the main courtyard.
She initially wanted to greet him, but seeing Guo Feng’s odd expression and his hurried pace, she thought better of it.
Just as she was about to head back, she saw Guo Feng go to the front hall and then saw Mrs. Guo quickly close the door.
She hadn’t intended to eavesdrop, but today the atmosphere at the Guo Mansion felt different than usual, making her anxious. Against her better judgment, she followed, and as she approached, she heard a not-too-loud voice questioning, demanding her sister and niece to leave.
Her eyes widened instantly, and she edged closer, thus hearing the conversation between them.
She hadn’t expected that her sister and niece were being forced out by Mrs. Guo.
Tears immediately filled her eyes, and as Guo Feng opened the door, they fell in big drops.
Seeing Yang Qiu silent and only crying, Guo Feng panicked, "Yang Qiu, listen to my explanation."
Mr. and Mrs. Guo did not expect the secret to be revealed, and for a moment, their expressions were somewhat embarrassed.
Yang Qiu didn’t speak to Guo Feng but walked step by step into the hall and kneeled in front of Mr. and Mrs. Guo, first bowing her head to the ground.
This reaction caught Mrs. Guo off guard. Yang Qiu’s appearance was already similar to Xiaotian, which gave Mrs. Guo a sense of illusion.
Yang Qiu raised her head, this time not calling uncle and aunt but respectfully saying Mrs. Guo. She had heard Mrs. Guo say that her sister and Guo Feng had a fake marriage, and the Guo Family was helping her sister raise the child. Connecting this to the child’s appearance, even if Yang Qiu was foolish, she realized the truth.
"Mr. Guo, Mrs. Guo, I beg you, please tell me the whereabouts of my sister and Little Yueyue. Our family has just found my sister; we can’t lose her again, I beg you."
Mr. and Mrs. Guo stood there without a response, their expressions a mix of reluctance and helplessness.
Seeing Yang Qiu like this, Guo Feng did not intervene. He thought if he couldn’t obtain an answer, perhaps Yang Qiu could.
"I heard everything you just said. You said my sister’s child isn’t the Guo Family’s and that my sister and young master Guo had a fake marriage. Although this sounds absurd, since you said so, there must be evidence of it. Indeed, my sister was at fault in this matter, and I apologize on her behalf; it is the Yang Family who wronged the Guo Family."
As Yang Qiu spoke, she banged her head to the ground once more.
"Mr. Guo, Mrs. Guo, I know this matter is grave, no matter how much I apologize, you won’t forgive us. Our Yang Family can’t compare to your Guo Family, but we won’t shirk this responsibility, we will find a way to compensate your Guo Family, just please return my sister and Little Yueyue to our family, I beg you."
Mr. and Mrs. Guo still said nothing. Guo Feng stepped forward and spoke, "Father, Mother, it’s come to this point, are you still not going to speak?"
Yang Qiu remained on the ground, tearfully pleading, "I beg you, tell me, where is my sister?"
