Su Xiaoxiao muttered, “That’s February to March.”

The man looked at Su Xiaoxiao deeply. “You know a lot about Snake Bone Flowers.”

This man was very sharp.

He could analyze clues with just a few words.

But why was such a person imprisoned here?

Su Xiaoxiao took back the initiative. “You haven’t told me why my grandmother came here back then.”

The man said, “She didn’t come here herself. She was tricked here and fell into the mine. I happened to pass by… and saved her.”

He hesitated when mentioning that he mentioned that he passed by.

Su Xiaoxiao boldly guessed that he was not passing by but wanted to escape.

However, on the way, he heard a cry for help and turned around to save her.

If what he said was true, he was Cheng Sang’s savior.

There was no need for him to lie because with Cheng Sang around, his lie would be easily exposed.

“Is Cheng Sang… alright?”

He asked hesitantly.

“Not good. She’s gone crazy.”

“Crazy?” The man was stunned. “Why?”

His shock did not seem fake.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t hide it anymore. “Her newborn child was diagnosed as stillborn. After losing her daughter, she went a little crazy. However, I suspect that the reason why she went crazy isn’t only due to the shock of losing her daughter, but also because of what happened in the mine. Since you saved her back then, do you know what happened to her?”

The man recalled, “She stayed alone in the dark mine for three days and three nights. She must have been quite frightened. However… she went crazy… Perhaps it has something to do with me.”

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t understand. ‘What do you mean?”

The man put down his paintbrush and whispered, “She saw me. She only has two outcomes: either she dies or she goes crazy.”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Are you saying that she was driven crazy?”

The man sighed. “I’m just guessing. I keep feeling that she’s not the kind of person who goes crazy easily.”

Su Xiaoxiao was deep in thought. “If your guess is right, the bereaved daughter is just an opportunity. Someone used this matter to make my grandmother go completely crazy. In the eyes of outsiders, she was too sad…”

The man said in shame, “I harmed her after all.” Su Xiaoxiao said nothing.

If the man hadn’t lied, she wouldn’t blame him.

Because if he hadn’t saved Cheng Sang back then, Cheng Sang might have died in the mine.

The question was, who was he?

Why did Cheng Sang have to be silenced or driven crazy after seeing him? Wei Ting’s ears twitched. “Someone’s here!”

The man was instantly vigilant. He gestured to the room on the left with his eyes and said to the two of them, “Go to my bedroom and stay there! I’ll deal with it!”

The two of them stood up.

The man picked up the teapot on the table and splashed water around the table, including where Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting had sat.

Rumble.

The stone door opened.

It was the Mu family head, Mu Tan.

Su Xiaoxiao and Wei Ting stood behind the door and observed the commotion through the crack.

Mu Tan came alone.

He first bowed perfunctorily to the man, then seemed to plan to sit opposite him.

However, when he saw the water stains all over the ground, he frowned and could only stand.

Su Xiaoxiao secretly admired the man’s wit.

She and Wei Ting had just sat down, so their warmth must still be on the futon.

If Mu Tan sat on it, he would definitely sense something.

Since Mu Tan bowed to him, regardless of whether it was perfunctory or not, at least it meant that the man’s identity was above that of Mu Tan.

Similarly, it should be above Xue Ping and Old Master Feng.

Wei Ting looked around and gestured to Su Xiaoxiao with his eyes.

Su Xiaoxiao followed his gaze and saw many picture books hanging on the wall.

Three of the paintings were Cheng Sang, but they looked like Cheng Sang when she was young.

At that time, Cheng Sang was really beautiful.

Her face was alluring and beautiful.

This was a portrait from many years ago. The paper was slightly yellowed.

However, it was not difficult to tell that his feelings when he drew these paintings were filled with admiration.

An idea suddenly flashed across Su Xiaoxiao’s mind.

Her mother was born in the winter and Cheng Sang met a man in the spring.

If it happened in the same year…

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened.

Could he be her biological grandfather?

Suppose that Xie Yunhe had been cuckolded, or that he had become a successor as soon as he got married.

After knowing the truth, he flew into a rage out of humiliation, so he wanted to get rid of the “dirty bastard” who had embarrassed him at all costs.

When she returned as her granddaughter, Xie Yunhe refused to acknowledge her.

This was because even if she was really Cheng Su, she was not related to him.

That was very likely!

Su Xiaoxiao felt that she had found out the truth!

However, she had to have evidence for everything.

She felt a perfectly intact hair with a hair follicle at the head of the bed and quietly wrapped it in a handkerchief.

On the other side, Mu Tan exchanged a few pleasantries with the man.

She took out a small porcelain bottle, took a few drops of the man’s blood, and left.

Su Xiaoxiao asked Wei Ting to leave first.

She entered the pharmacy and genetically compared her hair with the man’s.

Since the results wouldn’t be so soon.

She left the pharmacy first.

Wei Ting asked the man, “Why did Mu Tan take your blood?”

The man looked at Wei Ting solemnly and said earnestly, “I’ve said it before.

It’s best if you don’t ask too much about me. Otherwise, you’ll be the next

Cheng Sang.”

The two of them had been out for too long. It was time to go back. Otherwise, it would be even worse for the subsequent investigation if they exposed themselves in front of Xue Ping and the other two.

The two of them pushed the cart to the door.

The supervisor who had picked up the money asked angrily, “Why did you take so long?”

Wei Ting said without changing his expression, “They called us away just now and asked us to move a few carts of ore.”

Supervisor Wu had just picked up money and was in a good mood. “Go to work!”

The two of them pretended to work for a while before slipping away.

On the way back to the little bamboo garden.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Wei Ting, could he be my grandfather?”

Wei Ting recalled the man’s expression when he reminded him and said seriously, “You can investigate, but I keep feeling that his identity is not so simple..”
