Chapter 925 As if someone poked the weakest part of the heart

She remembered that when she was young, it was probably in this season, her mother died in this hospital without being rescued, and she has been afraid of it ever since.

Xia Zhishui withdrew her thoughts, and said to the housekeeper, "Did you bring me the books I usually read?"

The butler knew his young wife very well. The young lady didn't have any special hobbies, just two things, one was wine and the other was reading.

The housekeeper was very thoughtful, opened the briefcase, took out the book Xia Zhishui wanted, handed it over respectfully, and said, "Young Madam, the book you want."

After he finished speaking, he looked up at the young lady's pale face, feeling a little distressed, and suggested: "Young lady, why don't you close your eyes and rest, I see that your complexion is not very good."

Xia Zhishui didn't feel sleepy, she raised her head and smiled at the housekeeper, and said, "Uncle Li, I remember you have a daughter, right?"

The butler nodded and said, "Well, it's a pity that I died a few years ago."

Xia Zhishui didn't know anything about the death of the housekeeper's daughter.

She only remembered that the butler had a daughter, and he usually spent time with her when he was on vacation.

Xia Zhishui was surprised, with an apologetic face, "Sorry, I...I...don't know."

Xia Zhishui paused, resting her hand on the cover of the book, she looked a little at a loss, she didn't know what to say other than apology, but the housekeeper seemed very relieved.

He took the initiative to mention the matter of his daughter to Xia Zhishui, and said: "It's okay, that child has always lived with her mother. My ex-wife was a gambler and owed a lot of money outside. At the end of Zhou Zhuan, she still couldn't escape the devil's catch, so she was arrested to do things. After that, she was often bullied, and I didn't know about it until a long time later."

The butler's tone was light and slow, revealing some emotions on his face, but Xia Zhishui could read from his rustling voice the deep heartache and self-blame for failing as a father.

She frowned, puzzled, and said, "Uncle Li, you have been working in Nalan's family for almost 20 years. Why didn't you discuss this kind of money with Nalan?"

The butler raised his head, his eyes were a little red, but his face was still calm.

He said: "Her mother gambled before, and the young master came forward to settle the money she owed several times, but that woman was addicted to gambling and couldn't quit. I didn't care about her for a long time. Later, when I learned that the child I didn’t know until after something happened, and it was already too late.”

Xia Zhishui couldn't hold back, she said, "How did she die?"

Speaking of this, the butler seemed to have been stabbed at the weakest point of his heart, and his eyes were reddened.

He seemed to have used a lot of endurance to suppress the grief in his heart. He said: "She was raped... More than one person... In the end, I couldn't think about throwing myself into the lake to die."

Xia Zhishui said in a deep voice, "Do you know who did it?"

The housekeeper's voice was trembling, and he said: "A few street gangsters were arrested in the bureau, but nothing was found. But I secretly collected evidence, it seems that a person named Tang, Tang Yu is the mastermind behind it."

The first time Xia Zhishui heard the name, it turned out to be somewhat familiar. She said it silently, and the outline of a man was gradually blurred in her head.

She recalled it carefully, and it seemed that it was her aunt's cousin, or more directly, her aunt's first love when she was young.

Xia Zhishui closed her eyes slightly. For the past two years, she has been trying to find a way to avenge her mother, but unfortunately that woman Xia Wanqing is more sinister than she wanted...
