AMRWFA -Chapter 173 Mrs. Ma Fainted

Hu Xiaoyan was sent by the national team to a designated hospital, and it didn’t take long before a specially assigned doctor came to give her a full examination.

When Hu Xiaoyan slowly regained consciousness, what she saw were unfamiliar faces. They showed her documents to prove their identities.

“Mrs. Ma, we’ve just done a full check-up. We found that your fainting was caused by emotional shock… May I ask, before you fainted, what did you hear?”

Hu Xiaoyan’s expression almost slipped: So what, the national team is amazing?

Just because they’re the national team, they can poke at people’s wounds like that?

Well… the national team really is amazing. She couldn’t actually refute them.

So Hu Xiaoyan honestly “reported” everything she had heard, and then asked, “Is what she said… true?”

“Based on our current experience, unless we intervene and change the plot midway, the probability is that it’s more or less correct.”

Hu Xiaoyan: “……”

“Mrs. Ma, are you alright?” The national team wasn’t completely heartless and tried to comfort her. “Actually, it’s better to know earlier. It’s still better than being kept in the dark for a lifetime, don’t you think?”

Hu Xiaoyan: “……”

Why can’t I smile?

Is it because I was born someone who doesn’t like to smile?

Being kept in the dark for a lifetime might actually be a kind of happiness. It would still be more comfortable than being suddenly woken up like this.

But…

Did she really have to be kept in the dark forever, while someone else took away the family business her father had worked so hard to build?

Hu Xiaoyan was unwilling.

Back then, she chose Ma Gaoyi precisely because he had no background—just a poor young man with no siblings.

She thought that even if he was capable, so what? He would still have to work for the Hu family for his entire life.

But what she didn’t expect was that she had given birth year after year and still never had a son.

Thinking of her youngest daughter who had been buried in the flowerbed, Hu Xiaoyan’s tears fell. Her voice trembling, she pleaded, “Can I call the police? I want to sue Ma Gaoyi, his mother, and his cousin for murdering my daughter…”

“What?! Mrs. Ma is divorcing her husband?! Is that real? Are you kidding? They seemed to have such a good relationship.”

“Oh please, good my ass! Her husband has been keeping a mistress behind her back—and the craziest part is, that mistress is actually her mother-in-law’s housekeeper. And the mother-in-law covered it up!”

“Wait, didn’t Mrs. Ma always say her mother-in-law was a good person?”

“Good? Bullshit. After giving birth to five daughters, she only finally got a son—what kind of decent person is that? She even doesn’t live with them just so she can use her daughter-in-law as a womb machine…”

A group of wealthy ladies gathered at a tea party, sharing the latest gossip.

After all, Mrs. Ma had been quite active in their circle. Many even envied how well she had “managed” her husband.

Even after giving birth to many daughters, her husband had never complained and stayed loyal.

Who would have thought it was all fake? Her husband had already been secretly involved with someone else.

“What’s the scariest part, do you know? The scariest thing is that Mrs. Ma’s youngest daughter wasn’t just swapped—she was killed. Smothered on the very day she was taken and buried in their garden…”

“Wait—buried in their garden?!” someone gasped.

“Yes. In their own flower garden. Mrs. Ma used to walk there all the time and even posted photos saying the flowers were beautiful. I even have a picture, do you want to see?”

That patch of flowers really was beautiful.

But the most beautiful cluster now felt eerie.

After all… flowers nourished by corpses—how could they not be “beautiful”?

A group of wealthy ladies who all had gardens suddenly felt a chill down their spines.

Maybe they should dig up their own gardens too… just in case there were corpses underneath.

No one noticed that among them, a certain “Mrs. Mao” looked a little guilty.

That day, the tea party didn’t include the usual guest, Yu Xiangqiao, not because she didn’t want to go, but because Hu Xiaoyan had called and said she was coming over.

Between outside gossip and gossip delivered to her doorstep, Ruan Yaoyao ultimately chose Hu Xiaoyan.

【Last time I didn’t finish checking her head-top “details page”—this time I’m definitely going to finish it!】

Yu Xiangqiao: Mom, go for it! I want to eat the gossip too!

That day, Ruan Yaoyao noticed something unusual—the whole family was at home. Even the eldest and second eldest didn’t go out.

“Aren’t you busy at work?”

The eldest and second eldest replied, “Oh, we have an online meeting. We can attend it from home and go to the company later.”

As for the fact that they were actually pulling an all-nighter just to eat gossip—it wasn’t mentioned.

Yu Xiangqiao only “mocked” them for two seconds before she was @-mentioned in the group chat by Yun Jinxian and Liang Shishi, reminding her not to forget to “share updates.”

Yu Xiangqiao: [OK!]

Yu Xiangqiao: [She hasn’t arrived yet, don’t rush! I’ll tell you as soon as she comes.]

When Hu Xiaoyan arrived, she was warmly welcomed by the entire Xu family.

Seeing how neatly everyone was gathered, Hu Xiaoyan already had a suspicion. Her mouth twitched slightly.

Damn it. Are my gossip rumors really that entertaining?!

She was a little annoyed, but when she saw Ruan Yaoyao, she couldn’t bring herself to move her gaze away.

Sigh…

Who told her she needed something from them?

Helpless, Hu Xiaoyan not only came willingly to be laughed at, she even brought gifts and kept a polite, good-tempered front.

After sitting down, she chatted casually with the Xu family while secretly observing Ruan Yaoyao’s movements.

Sure enough, after a while, Ruan Yaoyao started “checking again.”

【Hmm… where did I leave off last time?】

【Oh right—the daughter she gave birth to was killed by her mother-in-law, and the son was actually the child of her mother-in-law’s housekeeper…】

Hu Xiaoyan: I can’t even smile. I really can’t.

She had only found out after investigating that the so-called “cousin” had no blood relation to Ma Gaoyi at all—she was just a distant relative from the mother-in-law’s side.

They knew incest of close relatives was illegal, so they just picked someone far enough away.

They called her “cousin,” but it was basically meaningless—distant enough to be unrelated.

If Ma Gaoyi hadn’t married her, no one would even know who this so-called cousin was.

Because she couldn’t give birth to a son, her mother-in-law had long planned everything. Among many “nieces,” she picked the youngest and most beautiful one—exactly Ma Gaoyi’s type.

Even more disgusting: the mother-in-law had promised money for every son born.

So the “cousin” came in for money, never expecting marriage—just to give birth to a son and get paid.

After arriving, she quickly realized that the child she gave birth to would inherit Hu Xiaoyan’s wealth, and she began dreaming of replacing her.

When Hu Xiaoyan brought people to investigate, they even found stolen jewelry and clothes in that woman’s room.

Things she thought she had simply lost had actually been stolen and hidden there.

Even worse, the “cousin” even copied her clothes, her walk, her speech—like imitating her would eventually make her replace her.

When Hu Xiaoyan exposed everything, her three daughters actually stepped forward and told her to calm down.

They “kindly” suggested that since she had no son, she should just send the woman away—but keep the son, otherwise the Hu family would have no heir.

It disgusted her so much she almost threw up.

Covering her face, she laughed and cried at the same time.

The children she had carried for ten months—who once clung to her affectionately—turned their backs the moment their father’s interests were threatened.

How ridiculous.

Did they forget who gave birth to them?

Who their blood came from?
