Nian Xiaomu knew nothing about her past.
She only remembered the fire.
Xing Li had mentioned that the Xing couple had died in a fire when she first appeared in Nian Xiaomu’s life. As such, this was exactly why they could not tell if she was lying right away.
In the end, it was found that Nian Xiaomu had already been taken away by someone before the Xing Family caught fire.
This meant that her memories of the fire had got nothing to do with the Xing Family.
However, they still could not figure out the reason that Nian Xiaomu was placed in the care of the Xing Family.
Until Zheng Yan mentioned about the Mo Family’s guardian family yesterday…
If Nian Xiaomu was really related to the Mo Family in some way, and the Xing Family happened to be one of the Mo Family’s guardian families…
In this case, it would make sense if Nian Xiaomu was placed in the care of the Xing Family because of some reasons they were not aware of!
For example; why she was found with multiple injuries by Tan Bengbeng afterward, as well as the reason behind her amnesia, leaving her with just a memory of the fire…
They would have to ask Zheng Yan exactly what happened three years ago when the Mo Family met with an unforeseen event!
All of their doubts seemed to have come together all at once.
Just like the lava of a volcano, the hidden truths had bubbled up to the weakest spot at the peak and were merely waiting for a chance to erupt!
“Fire? Why did you ask about this?”
Zheng Yan was stumped by her question.
“I really do not know a lot about matters that concern the Mo Family. In addition, I also overheard that the Zheng Family was the guardian family of the Mo Family. All I can do is to ask my father for the answers that you seek, but I am not sure if he is willing to tell me since he doesn’t have a good temper.”
The current ties between the Zheng Family and the Mo Family are a little weird.
Just like Yu Yuehan had said, the Zheng Family was brought to success by the Mo Family.
But now, the Zheng Family had broken away from the Mo Family to establish their own kingdom.
It was deemed as an ungrateful act to many others.
They would surely provoke criticism from the public if the members of the Zheng Family were to spread any rumors about the Mo Family.
Zheng Yan had told them so many things because she had regarded them as her friends.
The other members of the Zheng Family would have simply kept their mouths sealed.
“Oh, yes!” Zheng Yan thought of something and exclaimed, “I have no idea if the unforeseen event that the Mo Family met with three years ago had got anything to do with the fire, but one thing for sure is that the main villa of the Mo Family was sealed three years ago. I heard that it was sealed for renovation… Based on what you guys have mentioned, the reason given was probably to distract others and hide the fact that a fire had broken out there…”
Zheng Yan muttered to herself.
“Speaking of which, I still don’t know what the fire that might have broken out in the Mo Family has got to do with you guys. Could Nian Xiaomu have offended the Mo Family because she had set the Mo Family villa on fire?”
The moment Zheng Yan finished speaking, she was triggered by her nonsensical thoughts and started to laugh hysterically while slapping her legs in the process.
After laughing for a while, she suddenly realized that no one in the study was laughing, except for her.
Not only did they not laugh, but both Yu Yuehan’s and Nian Xiaomu’s expression turned serious when they heard that the Mo Family villa had been renovated.
Zheng Yan’s laughter came to a complete stop.
Intimidated by their expression, she sat still on the chair. Then, she cleared her throat and spoke up.
“What’s wrong with both of you? You guys suddenly probed about the event that happened in the Mo Family. Has this got to do with Nian Xiaomu offending the Mo Family? I have told you guys everything I know, it would be truly insincere if you are still hiding something from me!”
When Yu Yuehan heard this, his eyes turned dark and he leaned in closer to Zheng Yan.
“Answer me first. Did the Mo Family change the head of the household after they met with an unforeseen event three years ago?”
