Transmigrated as the Ex-Wife of a Heroic Man Chapter 1293: Clear in the Heart

Chapter 1293: Chapter 1293: Clear in the Heart

“Who? How come I didn’t know about this?”

“Have you all forgotten where our mother came from?” Su Qing revealed a bitter smile, her bright complexion seeming to have a layer of frost over it. The cards she was about to play were pressed down on the table, and she no longer felt like continuing the game.

Contrarily, in this moment, she thought of many things. A flood of tangled thoughts surged up, causing Su Qing such a headache that she pinched the bridge of her nose and ended the card game.

She thought about Liu Juan and Liang Shuzhen, whom everyone had mentioned earlier, and even more about Big sister’s unfamiliarity with the matter.

It shouldn’t be like this, the ones who talked about mother the most were Big sister and her.

Especially Big sister, who had always dreamt and fantasized about visiting her maternal grandparents one day—the idea of having relatives in the city was something to be proud of. Su Qing remembered how every time Big sister was upset, she would plead with Mother to go to her grandmother’s house.

All the kids in the village had grandmothers. During festivals and holidays, grandmothers would buy them clothes and treats. They also got to visit relatives, which all the children enjoyed. But Big sister desired even more, she particularly liked wealthy relatives.

Mother had photos, and she had talked about it many times.

How could Big sister possibly not recognize Liu Juan? Although Big sister had masked it well, Su Qing suspected the unfamiliarity when Big sister mentioned Liu Juan couldn’t be concealed from her. No one knew the shock and astonishment in her heart at that moment, but she said nothing.

Later when she was alone, Su Qing meticulously sorted through her memories.

The more she recalled, the more clues and inconsistencies there were.

The brother-in-law had previously hardly spoken to Big sister, and since they hadn’t known each other very long, it was normal for him to not know. But she was the younger sister, only a year and a half apart from Big sister. They had grown up together—what wouldn’t she know?

After coming to understand this, it took Su Qing several days to calm down, and then she decided to pretend she didn’t know anything.

The matter would stop with her.

No matter what the truth was, she was thankful for Big sister now, a sister who wholeheartedly cared for everyone, and who sheltered and protected her younger sisters. That was enough. One must be conscientious, and even more so, know how to be grateful.

She could not repay kindness with ingrat.i.tude.

Moreover, after so long together, they had developed a deep affection. Compared to the Big sister of the past, she preferred the one she knew now. Although saying so was cruel, it was the truth.

She couldn’t deny it.

It was precisely because Su Qing acknowledged her choices and the cruelty deep within her bones that she truly grew up, not just because, as Su Wen naively thought, she had matured so quickly simply through the trials of her career.

Without having faced real adversity or challenging decisions, how could anyone grow to the extent Su Qing had?

These were burdens she bore alone, buried deep within her heart as everlasting secrets.

Take, for example, this time Song Jinyan asked them to return to Trinity village to handle Song Jiaming’s affairs. Big sister, because she was pregnant, didn’t go back. Su Qing naturally agreed to take her younger sisters back. In reality, Su Qing knew very well that Big sister’s absence was not simply due to pregnancy.

“Second sister, what are you thinking about?”

“Second sister.”

The voices of Su Xiu and Su Xue pulled Su Qing out of her reverie.

Looking at Su Qing’s somewhat pale complexion, concern and care filled both sisters’ eyes.

Seeing them, Su Qing smiled lightly and comforted them, “It’s nothing. I was just pondering who might be watching us from the shadows.”
