Can't Take My Eyes Off You novel Chapter 1174

"I asked elderly about the fool's daughter in private. Two of them said they saw the old woman carrying the child out into the mountains with their own eyes. When she came back, the old woman was alone. The old woman had carried the child, and she said that she had buried the child alive, so it must be true. At that time, it was very common for people to give away their daughters, so they did not feel like it was wrong. They just sighed about it. It was still relatively rare to throw one's daughter away. Most of them would keep their first daughter, but they would give the subsequent daughters away."

That person did not say anything else, but people still scolded the fool's mother. They had seen people give their children away or left them by the roadside. No one had ever seen a grandmother who would be so cruel as to bury her grandchild alive.

"Have you returned to Ping City to investigate?" Lu Xingzhi was not surprised at all. After hearing the news, he only felt that it was as he had expected.

"Yes," the person on the other side said. "I found the Xies' old neighbors and investigated the two Xie sisters. There are many suspicious points."

"Tell me." Lu Xingzhi stood by the window; the wind blew as he focused his attention on the door. He was afraid that Jiang Yao would come in at that time, so he needed to keep an eye on whether she was near the study.

"Their old neighbors said that although Xie Qiuxiang and Xie Qiuran are twin sisters, Xie Qiuxiang had always been more talkative than Xie Qiuran since she was young. Xie Qiuran had always been quiet. She liked to read, learned to write from her father, learned to play the piano, draw, and so on. Xie Qiuxiang was close to her mother, and Xie Qiuran was closer to her father. Xie Qiuxiang was supposed to be sent to the countryside as an educated youth, but she was already engaged at that time. Mrs. Xie decided to let Xie Qiuran go to the countryside instead. It seemed like Mrs. Xie favored Xie Qiuxiang. Before Xie Qiuran went to the countryside, her relationship with her mother had turned cold.
