Ning Meng Yao thought there was something big that happened, she never expected it to be so cheesy.
”It’s really cheesy,” Ning Meng Yao mocked.
Bai Mo had a bitter laugh: “Indeed, later on, I investigated Nangong Yan and found out he was the Regent of the Ling Empire, but this Regent is different from the rumors.”
Ning Meng Yao turned her head and looked at Bai Mo: “What do you mean?”
”The Regent of Ling Empire is actually a gentle and capable person, but the Nangong Yan we know is different,” The Nangong Yan they knew was actually a little cruel, he even treated his enemies viciously, but because he treated him and Xiao Cheng Ya well, they never cared.
”You suspect he is a fake?”
”I didn’t at the beginning, I began suspecting when something happened to your mother,” When he spoke until that point, Bai Mo’s expression instantly changed.
”What do you mean?” Ning Meng Yao subconsciously asked. She had a feeling Bai Mo seemed to know a lot more.
Qiao Tian Chang sat quietly by the side, he didn’t interrupt their conversation, but at that moment, Qiao Tian Chang suddenly spoke: “Mother-in-law was poisoned by Nangong Yan, right?”
Bai Mo froze, he looked at Qiao Tian Chang: “How did you know?”
Qiao Tian Chang turned his head and looked outside the window: “Very simple, I heard Nangong Yan talking about his time with mother-in-law. At that time, he was traveling around with mother-in-law and she was suddenly poisoned. If not for your words, nobody would have thought about it.”
Just the two of them were together, nobody else was with them, who else could poison Xiao Cheng Ya if not Nangong Yan?
Bai Mo smiled bitterly: “You’re right, I also learned about it by accident, that’s why when Nangong Yan was led away by the Emperor of Xiao Empire of that time, I brought Ya’er out of the palace and sent her to Xiao Yi Lin’s residence. I brought her away after knowing she had given birth, but when I headed over, the child had already been thrown out.”
Ning Meng Yao pursed her lips tightly, she never expected a man, who seemed to be infatuated, was actually such a person.
”Why didn’t you stop him once you found out?”
”Stop him? How can I stop him? At that time, your mother didn’t believe me, she felt I said so to sow discord between them,” That was why he could only protect Xiao Cheng Ya in secret, he never expected Xiao Cheng Ya to be harmed by Nangong Yan.
Ning Meng Yao was feeling slightly confused, what was Nangong Yan’s motive for doing so?
”I don’t understand.”
”I don’t understand either, Ya’er is a kind and gentle girl, I respected her choice, as long as she’s happy. But not long after she was with Nangong Yan, I realized Ya’er’s life is quite contrary to what I had thought,” Bai Mo recalled what happened at that time and said with uncertainty.
Ning Meng Yao froze. Could it be that some other things happened?
”What you guessed is correct, your mother was really happy at the beginning, but she began to feel depressed later on, she didn’t smile until having you. I’ve investigated but was unable to find anything, I have no idea what happened,” Bai Mo hated himself very much, if he figured out everything earlier, Xiao Cheng Ya wouldn’t be hurt and wouldn’t be asleep for close to two decades.
Ning Meng Yao looked at the sad man who had self-blame and hatred in his eyes, she suddenly said: “Don’t you regret your decision?”
”Of course not. You love Qiao Tian Chang and definitely could understand that feeling as long as he’s happy,” The sadness on Bai Mo’s face was swept away, there was a faint smile at the corner of his lips, but that smile, to Ning Meng Yao, was filled with loneliness.
Ning Meng Yao suddenly felt regretful, would it be better if she didn’t bring Xiao Cheng Ya out?
”What else do you want to know?”
”Why did you imprison my mother?”
Bai Mo suddenly laughed: “I didn’t imprison her. There are many things in Miaojiang that are not as simple as you think, but over there, she will remain safe. I don’t hope for her to find Nangong Yan because she would only be hurt once more.”
