Yu Niaoniao’s voice trembled.

“In that case, Mother and stepfather were killed first before being set on fire to destroy the evidence?

Lo Pingsha carefully put down the skull and nodded.

“From the current autopsy results, that should be the case.”

Yu Niaoniao’s eyes turned even redder. She muttered distractedly, “They were indeed killed. This isn’t an accident. This is murder.”

Ling Hai could not help but ask, “If both of them died under a knife, why didn’t the coroner find out when he did the autopsy back then?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Back then, the coroner only took a few glances to confirm that my parents died in a fire.”

Lo Pingsha had seen many cases of this. He took the initiative to explain.

“The surface will turn pitch-black after the body is charred. The wound will be hidden. Unless you cut open the body, it’s very difficult to discover the real cause of death. Many coroners don’t go that far.”

If the coroner had been more careful during the autopsy back then, he might have been able to discover the real cause of the death of Feng Lianghan and Madam Xie. The Feng family’s extermination would not have been decided to be an accident.

There was no point in making these assumptions now.

At this point, Yu Niaoniao could only think of a way to make up for it.

She asked, “Can you verify what the murder weapon was like?”

Lo Pingsha shook his head.

“If the corpse hasn’t decomposed, I can determine the murder weapon by the shape of the wound. But now, only bones are left of the corpse. With just these two scratches, I can only deduce that the murder weapon should have strength like a sword or something. I don’t know more.”

Yu Niaoniao pursed her lips and fell silent.

Lo Pingsha opened his mouth a few times and closed it again, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Xiao Juan noticed his strange behavior and took the initiative to speak. “If you have something to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here.” Lo Pingsha hesitated again and again before speaking.

“Does the Princess Consort know that Madam Feng was pregnant when she was alive?”

Yu Niaoniao was stunned. “Pregnant?”

Seeing her like this, Lo Pingsha knew that she did not know about this.

He regretted saying this, but he had already spoken. Even if he regretted it, he could only bite the bullet and continue.

“From the width of the opening and closing of the pelvis, it can be inferred that

Madam Feng should be two months pregnant.”

Yu Niaoniao froze in place, her body cold, and her face turned pale.

“You mean my mother was two months pregnant when she died?”

Lo Pingsha said, “Yes.”

Yu Niaoniao suddenly remembered that she had seen Madam Xie touching her stomach once. She asked Madam Xie if her stomach was not feeling well.

Madam Xie had a strange expression.

She said that she was fine, but she had eaten a little too much lunch and her stomach was a little full.

Yu Niaoniao did not think too much about it and believed Madam Xie.

From the looks of it, Madam Xie must have long known about her pregnancy, but for some reason, she did not tell Yu Niaoniao about it.

If Lo Pingsha had not learned of this through the autopsy, Yu Niaoniao would probably never have known that Madam Xie was pregnant.

Shock, grief, regret, and other emotions surged into her heart, causing her vision to darken and her head to spin.

She swayed involuntarily twice. Just as she was about to fall, Xiao Juan reached out in time to hold her waist and let her lean on him.

“Are vou okay?”

Yu Niaoniao choked. “My mother knew that she was pregnant, but she still gave me the chance to escape.”

Xiao Juan did not know how to comfort her and could only silently hug her tighter.

Yu Niaoniao said, “I’ve let my mother down. I’ve let my stepfather down. Without me, my mother and the child in her stomach wouldn’t have died. I killed them…

Xiao Juan interrupted her. “Don’t say such things. The murderer killed them. As long as we catch the real murderer, we can avenge them. You’re also a victim. You didn’t do anything wrong!”

Yu Niaoniao muttered, “If the person who escaped back then was Mother…” Xiao Juan interrupted her again.

“Even if it happens again, I believe my father-in-law and mother-in-law will still choose to sacrifice themselves to let you live.”

Yu Niaoniao’s tears flowed even more fiercely.

She had always felt that she loved Madam Xie and Feng Lianghan very much. She treated them as her favorite family in this world. Only now did she know that Madam Xie and Feng Lianghan loved her far more than she had imagined.

Yu Niaoniao reached out with trembling fingers and gently stroked the scratch on the ribs.

“Dad, Mom, I will definitely find the real murderer and avenge you.”

They closed the coffin, filled in the soil, and restored the tomb to its original state.

At this moment, the sky was completely dark.

The four of them rode down the mountain and returned to Jinguan City.

Back then, Yu Niaoniao had only sold all the Feng family’s farmland, but the Feng family’s old residence was still in the city.

There were still a few old servants living in the house. They had lived with the Feng family since they were born and were already used to everything in the Feng family. Even though Niaoniao returned the indentures to them later, they were still unwilling to leave the Feng family.

Yu Niaoniao asked them to stay in the old residence and help take care of the house to prevent it from being abandoned.

When the servants saw that Eldest Miss had returned with her husband, they were naturally extremely surprised. They hurriedly tidied up the room and prepared dinner.

The dishes they prepared were all Yu Niaoniao’s favorite.

Yu Niaoniao did not have much of an appetite, but in order not to let these old servants down, she still perked up and took a few bites.

After dinner, they returned to their rooms to rest.

The old servants especially boiled hot water for them to wash up.

Yu Niaoniao took a hot bath. After soaking her body in the warm water, the fatigue in her body lessened a lot, and her mood recovered a little.

This was not the time to be sad. She could not be trapped by those low emotions.

She had to pull herself together and catch the real culprit as soon as possible to seek justice for her parents!

Seeing that she had become a little more energetic after taking a shower, Xiao Juan was slightly relieved.

She didn’t say much the entire night and was very depressed. Everyone could tell that she was very sad. No one knew how to comfort her. They could only quietly accompany her and take care of her more carefully.

The two of them went to bed to rest.

As the night deepened, Yu Niaoniao closed her eyes and fell asleep after a long time.

In her dream, she returned to three years ago.

Madam Xie was doing embroidery.

She was making a cloth tiger doll.

Yu Niaoniao leaned over and asked with a smile, “This doll is so cute. Was it made for me?”

Madam Xie did not answer and asked, ‘What if I say no?”

Yu Niaoniao immediately pouted. “I’m your only daughter. If you’re not giving me the doll, who else can you give it to?”

Madam Xie pursed her lips and smiled. She asked jokingly, “What if I give birth to another child?”

Yu Niaoniao said without hesitation, “No! ”

Her mother was already in her thirties and was definitely an old woman. The risk of giving birth was extremely high. If she was not careful, two lives could be lost.

Madam Xie’s hand that was holding the embroidery needle paused, her expression uneasy.

“Why? Don’t you want a brother or sister?”
