Aunt An was stunned after hearing what I said. I know what kind of person Aunt An is. Although she has been hanging around in this kind of situation all year long, she actually has a very kind heart. Now that she lost her life to an innocent person due to their fault, I think Aunt An will definitely feel guilty.

"What did you say?" She died because of this? " Aunt An said in disbelief.

I smiled bitterly: "Since things have already reached this stage, there's no need for me to lie to you. I just want to clarify the situation, no matter what the reason is, I just want to investigate the truth, Aunt An, I beg you, for the sake of the dead, please tell me the truth. That day, who exactly was it that asked you to join hands with Zhou Tao to trick me into coming here?"

Yang Zhong seemed to not have realized what was going on and asked in a daze, "But … What was going on now? What about what you just said? Didn't you say you loved him? "

I lowered my head and laughed bitterly, "Yang Zhong, do you really not understand? Ye Junli has his own choice, and I know that you all will look down on me. I originally thought that as long as he had me in his heart, even if I was like Liu Rui, and didn't have an official identity in my life, I would still accept it. But today … "I finally realized that things might not be as good as I imagined."

My tears ferociously fell and I couldn't control myself from saying those words. I don't know why, but after holding it in for the entire day, I was finally unable to bear it any longer and blurted out the grievances in my stomach.

"Yao Ji..." Aunt An walked over and hugged me, telling me to put my head on her shoulder and stroke my shoulder as I had done countless of times before. She comforted me, "Don't mind it too much.

I nodded, listening to Aunt An's rare gentle tone, "Actually, I can understand your mother. Whether she is your biological mother or not, I only know what she is living for. I don't know if her choice was right or wrong in your eyes, but for women like us who have experienced so much, it's only when we have money in our hands that we really feel at ease, so she chose to leave you for a better life. "

I nodded, choked with sobs, and said, "Actually, I have already understood what she did. Moreover …. She is not my mother, and I have no right to hate her. "

But who would have thought that Aunt An would immediately stop after hearing what I said. After a long while, he pushed me away and looked at me with a complicated gaze. He said slowly: "No, Yao Ji, you are wrong. Your own mother. "

"You … What did you say? " I looked at Aunt An in disbelief, "That's impossible, you don't know her, you don't know what happened in this period of time …"

"I know." Aunt An opened his mouth and said, "I know everything."

I started to be unable to understand what Aunt An was saying. How did Aunt An know about Liu Rui?

He then said with a faint smile, "Actually, I have always known Liu Rui."

"What …?" I couldn't believe my ears. How could two completely unrelated people know each other? So what was going on?

"When Liu Rui was young, she was known to be a courtesan. At that time, everyone in the ballroom was envious of her. She had the most beautiful figure and the most beautiful dance. Aunt An began to recall her memories.

But I was completely confused, I didn't know what was going on at all. How could Aunt An know her, how could she be Liu Rui's friend, and furthermore … They knew each other when they were young?

"Aunt An, I don't understand what you mean … "What exactly does that mean?" I asked hesitantly, my voice full of shock.

Aunt An glanced at me, then laughed out loud. She spoke with difficulty: "Yao Ji, why do you think I would look for you when you had just arrived in the imperial city? Furthermore, why have I protected you from the very beginning and never let you have any contact with such filthy things? "

I looked at her blankly, not understanding what Aunt An had to say.

Aunt An didn't care about my reaction and directly continued speaking by herself: "Actually, everything I've done, has been entrusted to me by Liu Rui. Even though she is not by your side, she has always been using her own strength to protect you all. "
