Chapter 79: The Truth

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The door opened easily. Perhaps it was because no one would come here under such circumstances that the host let down his guard.

The interior and exterior of the house formed a stark contrast.

The outside of the house was magnificent, but the inside was dark.

Ning Yue took out a flashlight to illuminate the room. At this moment, she realized that there was another door behind the door. She opened the door and saw the locked woman the secret guard had mentioned.

That person was especially excited to see the light and screamed loudly.

Her scream made the three of them feel their ears sting.

“Please calm down. We didn’t mean to hurt you.” As Ning Yue spoke, she shone the light down. If the strong light from this flashlight shone directly on one’s eyes, it would cause harm.

After Ning Yue finished speaking, the person shouted even louder.

“Yueyue, if it really doesn’t work out, let’s knock her out,” Gu Yu said.

After he finished speaking, the person miraculously fell silent.

Seeing this, Ning Yue placed the flashlight high up so that she could see her surroundings clearly.

She saw a disheveled old woman. The old woman’s eyes were fixed on the flashlight.

She sat on the ground, her hands dangling from the chains. Her head was raised high.

When she saw the old woman’s face, Ning Yue’s heart suddenly ached.

She clutched her chest. She couldn’t tell what it was like. Just as she opened her mouth to ask, tears fell uncontrollably.

“This…” Gu Yu was also very surprised. He didn’t expect to see this person here.

“Who is she?” Ning Yue asked.

Actually, when she saw this face, Ning Yue already knew who this person was. However, shouldn’t this person be far away in the capital? Why was he here?

“She’s General Ning’s mother, Matriarch Ning,” Jiang Ying said.

“No, no! That old woman is enjoying a wonderful life in the capital. How can she appear here to suffer?”

How could this person be Ning Feng’s mother?

Jiang Ying looked at Ning Yue with a complicated expression. If he hadn’t gotten someone to investigate the matter between the General’s Residence and Ning Yue two days ago, he would probably have been shocked by the scene before him.

No, no, no. He was already shocked.

Everyone knew that the old general’s wife had passed away. Why would she appear here?

“Ning Yue, this person is indeed your grandmother, the current matriarch of the general’s residence. You should call her Great-aunt.”

Jiang Ying told Ning Yue about the past of the general’s residence in detail.

Ning Yue’s eyes widened.

The piece of cloth her grandfather had taken out yesterday said that her biological mother was Liu Yun. At first, Ning Yue thought that her grandfather had made a mistake, or that there was some misunderstanding. Now that she heard Jiang Ying’s explanation, she seemed to understand something.

“Grandmother…” Ning Yue called out.

When An Ning heard this call, she looked at Ning Yue with empty eyes.

“Grandma, I’m sorry. Yueyue was late. I’ll bring you out now.”

Ning Yue took the backpack from Jiang Ying’s back and took out a master key. She stepped forward and unlocked An Ning.

Gu Yu watched all of this in shock. When had his disciple become a locksmith?

An Ning, who had been very excited when she saw the lights, suddenly fell silent after Ning Yue unlocked the locks. She looked at Ning Yue in a daze.

Ning Yue hugged An Ning. She could sense that An Ning was not used to this hug. Her entire body was stiff.

She examined An Ning’s body and found that other than some malnutrition and a strained ligament in her arm, there was nothing wrong with her body. Ning Yue heaved a sigh of relief.

“Are you Yun’er’s child?” An Ning’s words were intermittent.

Ning Yue took out a water bag from her backpack and carefully fed An Ning.

“Grandmother, you’ve suffered,” Ning Yue said.

As An Ning had been sitting here for a long time, her legs had weakened a little. She couldn’t even stand properly, let alone walk.
