Chapter 592: Chapter 510 What Are They Trying to Hide? (Second Update)

Danton shook his head dejectedly, "No, she said she needs to check my body further and adjust the dosage or something—I don’t really understand."

Yi Luowa quickly comforted him, "Don’t worry, Seventh Aunt will definitely be able to create the antidote."

Danton smiled and nodded. After nodding, he didn’t forget to glance at Tong Airui; only after seeing his satisfied expression did he let out a long sigh of relief.

After breakfast, Yi Luowa took Youyou and Kou’er to the estate. This time, she had so much to say to her Second Uncle and Huo Li.

As the car entered the estate, Yi Weiyang and Huo Li came out early to greet them.

Looking at Huo Li’s healthy complexion, Yi Luowa smiled and said, "I’m starting to doubt..."

"Doubt what?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Doubt whether you’re actually pregnant..."

Huo Li pouted and deliberately stuck out her belly, "I’ve got a bump already, and you still dare to doubt!"

"It’s barely noticeable!" Yi Luowa chuckled and turned to Yi Weiyang, "Second Uncle, how have you been? I’ve been away for so long and couldn’t stay by your side to take care of you. Thinking about it makes me feel immensely guilty..."

Yi Weiyang smiled affectionately, "I’m not that old! I don’t need you to look after me. When I’m elderly and you’re not so busy, that’ll be the right time for you to take care of me."

"Don’t take my job!" Huo Li reached out and poked Yi Luowa’s shoulder. "My big uncle is mine to care for. All you need to do is drop by occasionally and lift his spirits."

Yi Luowa pursed her lips, "The more you act like this, the more I feel like I’m being unfilial. Sigh..."

"Hurry inside, it’s cold outside—you don’t want to freeze." Huo Li said with a smile, ushering them all indoors.

As soon as Youyou stepped inside, she remembered something, "Second Uncle, last time I visited, wasn’t that little pony expecting a baby? Has it given birth yet?"

Yi Weiyang smiled and nodded, "The foal was just born two days ago; it’s in the stable now."

"Then I’m going to see it!" Youyou grabbed Kou’er and dashed outside.

"Such a child!" Yi Weiyang chuckled, shaking his head.

Yi Luowa laughed, "She’s fixated on that little pony. On the way here, she even told me that if it’s born, she’s going to take it away and give it to Ziyan and Sangyu to play with. If my dad knew, he’d scold her for sure."

Huo Li laughed and said, "Let them play with it secretly. Then move it out once your dad comes home."

Yi Luowa pursed her lips, "Oh, right—my mom told me to tell you both that since it’s New Year’s Day today, you should come celebrate it with us."

"Your Second Uncle already said we’d come—so even without your mother’s invite, we’d still plan to join you," Huo Li replied.

Yi Luowa looked gratefully at Yi Weiyang, "Second Uncle, I have another thing to tell you during this visit... I’ve found my mother..."

"What did you say?!" Huo Li’s jaw dropped in astonishment.

Yi Weiyang froze for a moment, then a grin appeared on his face, "That is wonderful news! I have to tell Aunt Li right away so she can prepare extra dishes for lunch—we’re celebrating this for sure."

Yi Luowa grabbed Yi Weiyang’s arm before he could get up, "Second Uncle, please hear me out—she’s no longer alive..."

Yi Weiyang squeezed her hand tightly, "Luowa, don’t feel sad. Tell me everything, slowly—what exactly happened?"

Yi Luowa calmly recounted yesterday’s events.

Though she seemed composed, Huo Li leapt to her feet. "Damn it! Who’s that woman, calling someone a chicken? Damn it! Tell me her name—I’ll tear her mouth apart!"

Yi Luowa gave her a look of disdain, "Think of your baby’s prenatal education!"

"How can I care about prenatal education when I’m so mad!" Huo Li stormed around the living room furiously. "That woman must be lying! With someone like you, how could she ever be the mother?!"

Yi Weiyang’s expression darkened.

Yi Luowa frowned slightly, "Who gave birth to me isn’t the point. It’s about upbringing afterward. The fact that I am who I am today is all thanks to Second Uncle’s excellent household guidance."

Yi Weiyang furrowed his brows slightly, "Luowa, what are you planning to do? Will you acknowledge this mother?"

Yi Luowa sighed, "I came here to discuss this with you. There are some things I can’t talk about with Tong Airui... Given his status, if I recognize this mother and let the truth spread, I fear he’ll become a laughingstock. But on the other hand, this person did give birth to me—if I don’t visit her grave at least once, I feel I’ll be too heartless."

Yi Weiyang thought deeply for a moment before asking, "Where is she buried?"

Yi Luowa shook her head, "I don’t know. I was so shocked at the time that I didn’t even think to ask about these details—I don’t even know her name... Since Haotian Empress is busy these days, I’ll wait until she’s free and ask her then..."

Huo Li shot a sharp glance toward her, "Yi Luowa, you keep saying you want to talk things over with your Second Uncle—but is this really discussing?! You’ve obviously already made up your mind!"

Yi Luowa froze, "What have I decided exactly?"

"You’re planning to ask for her name and burial place, aren’t you? Isn’t it obvious you’re preparing to acknowledge her?" Huo Li walked up to her, poking her forehead indignantly. "Whether she’s really your mother is still uncertain, and now you want to recognize her? I forbid it!"

"If one person’s claim isn’t trustworthy, how about two people? Could they both be wrong?" Yi Luowa pouted.

"Even if it’s true, you should think about Airui! Considering his position, if people knew he had this kind of mother-in-law, how could he show his face outside?"

Huo Li turned to Yi Weiyang. "Uncle, you have to talk to her! She’s driving me crazy!"

Yi Weiyang gave her a glance, "It hasn’t been decided yet anyway. Don’t be so agitated—watch out for the baby!"

Huo Li quickly protected her belly, "You better talk to her—or else I’ll smack her myself!"

Yi Weiyang motioned for Huo Li to stop. When she finally quieted, he said calmly, "Luowa, how about this? If you truly can’t let go of this matter, once you find out the burial site, I’ll accompany you there in secret. After we pay our respects, you can move on and focus on living your current life."

"Second Uncle..."

"Going is fine—but first do a DNA test, then visit!" Huo Li couldn’t resist interjecting. "Once you know the burial location, send someone there to collect some remains for testing. If she really is your mom, I won’t object. But if she isn’t, you must cut off this notion as soon as possible."

Yi Luowa glanced at her skeptically, "Digging up a grave—you think of the cruelest things."

"Huo Li is right!" A voice came from outside.

Yi Luowa froze. When she came here, he had mentioned having business to handle and couldn’t accompany her—how was he already done?

Tong Airui strode inside, greeted Yi Weiyang, and took a seat.

"I didn’t come with you because I wanted you and Second Uncle to have time alone—I knew you’d have lots to discuss with him. I waited until you finished before joining. Wife, what Huo Li said is exactly what I was planning to do."

Yi Luowa stared at him blankly, "You want to collect remains too?"

Tong Airui shook his head, "Without a burial site, there’s no way to collect remains."

Yi Luowa’s eyes darkened slightly.

"After you fell asleep last night, I asked Haotian Empress to inquire about that woman’s name and burial site. Do you know what she said? She claimed that the woman’s body was buried by Youyou’s teacher, and she herself didn’t know the location either.

All along, I’ve been skeptical of Xia Rou’s and Joel’s claims. The fact that they provided this dead-end corroboration only deepens my doubts. Whether this mother is yours is far from certain—it’s possible that this person doesn’t even exist in reality."

"Does Xia Rou have any need to lie? Does she even have any connection with Joel?" Yi Luowa asked immediately after hearing his words.

"I’ve already sent people to investigate; we should have results soon. Frankly, I didn’t want to tell you this so early—your burden is already heavy enough—but I couldn’t avoid sharing it either."

Huo Li reached out and slapped Yi Luowa lightly for sitting there in a daze, "What’s the use of having such a smart head!"

"My wife’s brilliant! It’s just that when things involve herself, she loses objectivity." Tong Airui held Yi Luowa’s hand tightly. "To be honest, after I first heard Xia Rou’s and Joel’s claims, I momentarily believed them. But after calming down, the suspicions seemed glaring."

Yi Luowa looked at Tong Airui skeptically, "I don’t know them at all, and Haotian Empress didn’t mention me by name when she called them. If this is false...what would they be trying to hide?"

Tong Airui narrowed his eyes slightly, "That’s a good point—what could they be hiding?"

"Don’t overthink it for now—people have already been sent to investigate. We’ll definitely uncover something soon." Yi Weiyang said solemnly, "When Luowa first spoke, she left me in shock. What she described seemed so vivid, it had to be the truth. But after calming down and thinking it over, this matter truly seems intricate."
