Chapter 110: Little Flower
Chapter 110: Little Flower
A four-year-old child suddenly rushes out to thank you.
Yuan Xiu had seen what Xiao Hua was like before—shy and timid.
The child in front of her, smiling broadly at her, was clearly different from the child she had been before.
"you……"
"Aunt Yuan, thank you for saving me." Little Flower tilted her head. "If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't have seen my dad and grandma again."
"You're welcome. You saved yourself." Yuan Xiu tentatively asked, "Did you see me and Uncle Lin that day?"
Little Flower nodded with a smile, "I see you! I remember what you look like, Aunt Yuan. You were so beautiful when you were young!"
Yuan Xiu stood up and took two steps back abruptly!
What do you mean, "you when you were young"? Has she seen her when she was old?
"Don't be afraid, I'm just like you." Little Flower came over and took her hand with her warm little hand.
How did you know I...?
"How did you know you were also reborn, right?"
Little Flower looked at her. Although she was a child, her words and expressions were not in line with her age. "I just knew it. I knew it from the moment I woke up, because you are different in this life than in the last."
"You're luckier than me. You came back early and exposed Yuan Juan's conspiracy. I was less lucky; I only woke up when Yuan Juan was about to sell me. Luckily, you saved me."
At this point, Xiaohua's eyes darkened, as if she had remembered something unpleasant.
Yuan Xiu: "...You were sold by Yuan Juan's mother."
"In this life, yes." Little Flower's smile returned to her face. "In my past life, no, she sold me, but not at this time, but three years later."
A thought flashed through Yuan Xiu's mind: "So, the person Yuan Juan remarried was your father!"
Little Flower nodded: "Yes, she married my father, which angered my grandmother to death, and she sold me. She deserves to go to hell."
The little girl, with a smile on her face, uttered vicious words. Yuan Xiu didn't find it scary; all she could think about was the torture the little girl would suffer after being sold.
"Aunt Yuan, you must be confused. I'm here to help you out of your confusion as a way of thanking you. I also want to tell you about what happened after you died in your past life. Good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished. Yuan Juan didn't have a good ending in this life, and the first half of her life was no exception."
Hearing her mention her past life and her long-standing confusion, all of Yuan Xiu's fear vanished. "Tell me!"
"Yuan Juan should have been exposed when Uncle Jiang was promoted, but she colluded with Cheng Yufen. Cheng Yufen's superior helped her cover up her identity and used it as leverage to control her."
"When Uncle Jiang wanted to divorce her, she readily agreed because she couldn't get any information from him to Cheng Yufen. After receiving a considerable sum of compensation, she quickly married my father. My father wasn't as shrewd as Uncle Jiang, and he was completely controlled by her. With Cheng Yufen's advice, Yuan Juan wasn't as stupid as she is now three years later."
At this point, Little Flower looked at her and asked, "Do you know how you died in your past life?"
"After hearing what Yuan Juan and the others said, you were so angry that you lost your temper?" Yuan Xiu asked.
Little Flower shook her head: "It was Yuan Juan, she poisoned you."
Yuan Xiu clutched her chest. "It was her. Why did she kill me? Wasn't she afraid someone would investigate...?"
Of course, she wasn't afraid of anyone finding out. Even if she died under mysterious circumstances, no one in the Yuan family would seek justice for her. She would simply be buried in a thin coffin to avoid affecting Yuan Juan and the entire Yuan family.
The truth was far more terrifying than she had ever known!
Yuan Juan! Yuan Juan!
She couldn't even remember when Yuan Juan had poisoned her.
No, it's that unusually fragrant outfit!
Because she was too tired, she didn't put it away immediately, but just placed it on her bedside table, and she smelled it for at least an hour.
Yuan Xiu's nails dug into her flesh; at this moment, she truly hated her to the core!
Xiao Hua continued, "Not long after you died, Uncle Jiang followed Cheng Yufen's lead and discovered Yuan Juan's true identity. It wasn't until then that he realized that Yuan Juan wasn't you. He gave you a proper burial. As for Yuan Juan, she, Cheng Yufen, and her spy gang were executed soon after."
"Did Yuan Juan kill me because they were about to be exposed?"
"That's right. Cheng Yufen told her to clean up the mess, so she took care of you. If it weren't for that, she probably would never have returned to Yuanjia Village. Actually, she didn't have to go back. After all, if she wanted to kill you, she had plenty of other ways. Disappearing is too easy."
Little Flower scoffed, "Perhaps it was vanity at play. Returning home in glory is like wearing fine clothes in the dark; it was her last dream of wealth and power. The entire Yuan family was dragged into the abyss after her death. What future could a family with a spy have?"
That would be a societal death; the entire Yuan family, three generations, would never amount to anything.
"Serves them right!" Yuan Xiu cursed. Knowing that they were even worse off than her after her death made her feel much better.
"How do you know so much?" Yuan Xiu was not blinded by hatred. What role did Xiao Hua play in the past life?
How could she know so many details, as if she had participated in every step that followed?
Little Flower smiled and said, "Aunt Yuan, I won't tell you. You're so smart, you can definitely guess."
After saying that, she waved to Yuan Xiu, "Goodbye, Aunt Yuan. But we probably won't see each other again, bye-bye!"
Aunt Zhou stood not far away, anxiously looking around and calling out Xiao Hua'er's name.
Little Flower ran over, took her hand, and called her Grandma.
"You scared Grandma to death! Didn't I tell you not to leave Grandma's side? What were you doing?" Aunt Zhou gave her bottom a light pat.
The grandmother and granddaughter said something again, and then, holding her grandmother's hand, Xiaohua skipped away like a real child.
Yuan Xiu stared at their retreating figures, lost in thought, until she finally turned and went home.
She did indeed guess Xiao Hua'er's identity; she was probably a spy too. That's why she knew so clearly that Yuan Juan had returned to her hometown because of Cheng Yufen's words, and understood every detail.
She was young when she was abducted. If the intelligence group brainwashed her from a young age and then sent her back to the Zhou family after she came of age, her status as the child of a soldier would be her best cover if she could marry into the military or a political figure.
Such a good lead, those spies couldn't possibly not use it.
Even with Yuan Juan's incriminating evidence against her in her previous life, Xiao Hua'er was still abducted and sold; this is probably the main reason.
When Jiangzhou investigated the spies and the investigation led to Cheng Yufen, was it also related to her?
Yuan Xiu suddenly thought of a term: double agent.
