Chapter 1180: Chapter 1180: Substitute Marriage (5)

Yang Ruxin suddenly associated it with the scheming commonly found in grand family estates. "Does Duo Tianlin have a wife?" she asked.

Gu Qingheng nodded.

"Was it a marriage replacement?" Yang Ruxin’s expression revealed her guess as correct; it seemed the past was indeed complicated.

"You actually guessed it," Gu Qingheng said with a smile, "because there was less than a month left before the wedding. Both families were prominent clans, and it would be too shameful if it got out that the young lady had disappeared. So they had Chu Rui’s younger sister, Chu Xin, replace her and marry into the Duo Family..."

Yang Ruxin frowned. "So is Chu Xin still called Chu Xin?"

Gu Qingheng shook his head. "She took on Chu Rui’s identity and became the main lady of the Duo Family. Today, they only have one son, who is just eighteen..."

Yang Ruxin couldn’t help snorting sarcastically, "Married for seven years and only now have a child?"

"Do you think something is fishy?"

"Definitely," Yang Ruxin nodded. "It’s obvious that Miss Chu was framed... By the way, what is the situation with Chu Xin?"

"Chu Rui is the legitimate eldest daughter of the main Chu Family line, but Chu Xin’s status is somewhat awkward. She is actually the result of a love affair of the second Chu master outside the family. The woman thought that with pregnancy, she would have the leverage to marry into the Chu Family. Initially, she was promised entry if she gave birth to a son, but she ultimately had a daughter. The woman then left the child at the Chu family doorstep and ran away..."

The corner of Yang Ruxin’s mouth twitched. Was such a thing even possible?

"The Chu family’s second lady was fierce, insisting on not keeping the child. If the second master dared to raise her, she threatened to leave him with their son..." Gu Qingheng also sighed helplessly, "In the end, Elder Chu took the child in... That event was quite sensational in Quanzhou back then..."

"This is just like a grand drama of family house strife," sighed Yang Ruxin in resignation. "After replacing her sister in the marriage, Chu Xin effectively became Chu Rui, and Chu Xin was ’killed off,’ then?"

Gu Qingheng nodded. "She ’died’ of a sudden illness..."

"Heh, heh..." Yang Ruxin laughed coldly.

"Why have you suddenly become interested in them?"

"Qingheng, I think I might have found the Chu Family’s eldest Miss, Chu Rui..."

"You..."

"It’s somewhat unbelievable, but when I went into the mountains to save my mother, I met the wife of the village chief in Bone Village at that time..." Yang Ruxin sighed, "She gave me half a Jade Pendant and asked me to help her find her Brother Tianci. I told her to go herself, so I smuggled her out and placed her in a safe location..."

"So what do you plan to do?"

"I want to help her fulfill her last wish." Yang Ruxin sighed, "The reason she has survived until now is solely because of her yearning to see Brother Tianlin once more..." The woman’s state was such that her body had become completely hollow. She had previously survived because of many years of obsession. Now, maintaining the current state of the space she was in was the only thing keeping her alive. As soon as she left that space and lost her psychological support, death would be instantaneous. Even Dao Xuzi was powerless to help, at most he could only extend her life by a few days, which would actually be even more painful.

"Are you planning to go to Quanzhou?"

"It’s not urgent..."

"You could notify Duo Tianlin to come here..."

"Quanzhou is her hometown," Yang Ruxin sighed. "She probably wants to be buried in her native land, right? Of course, if the Chu Family doesn’t recognize her, we’ll have to act according to her wishes then..."
