Ning Yuechen walked into the freezing ice coffin room like a zombie. Just looking at the fantasy and technological design inside, one would never imagine that this was just a room for storing frozen bodies, with the same nature and purpose as a hospital morgue.

The staff slowly pushed the ice coffin stored in the closed crystal room in front of them. Through the transparent ice cover made with special craftsmanship, Ning Yuechen could clearly see the woman lying flat inside.

She stared at Aunt Shi, who looked peaceful as if she was sleeping. She didn't know how long she looked at her. Her gaze slowly moved downwards until she carefully examined the whole body. Only then did she finally believe that this person was really Aunt Shi.

I was raised by Aunt Shi, so how could I not recognize her true appearance?

Ning Yuechen thought she would break down and cry, but when she faced Aunt Shi's body, she was not as painful and desperate as she had imagined, but calm as water. It was as if Aunt Shi was really just sleeping temporarily, and she just came to take a look.

Just like the many nights when I was a child, I would sneak into Aunt Shi’s room without any sense of security, listening to her gentle breathing until I felt sleepy, and then I would go back to my room to sleep with a sense of security.

"How did Aunt Shi die?" Ning Yuechen asked after a long time.

Without waiting for Bai Yi to answer, she said coldly: "Don't tell me that she is sick. I know Aunt Shi's physical condition and I also know medical knowledge. Although her health has always been poor, she is definitely not sick enough to die."

Bai Yi hesitated for a few seconds, but finally chose to tell the truth: "Back then, your mother wanted to send you to the Wen family, but my father stopped her and set a trap to entrust you to Shi Yu. She knew this fact and couldn't accept it for a while, so she chose to jump off the building and commit suicide. The surveillance camera in the manor captured this scene. If you don't believe me, I can show it to you."

She deliberately concealed the video recording that Shen Zhinian had left behind in order to preserve evidence, and she deleted that clip herself. However, she had already found all the people involved in the video, and now they were just waiting for the trial to begin and for their imprisonment.

And the biggest culprit behind this incident, his biological father Bai Jingyuan, doesn't have much time left.

Shi Yu's death was already a huge blow to Ning Yuechen. Bai Yi didn't dare to imagine how this person would collapse if he knew what his biological mother had experienced.

Some facts are better left unknown.

Ning Yuechen did not react to her answer, but continued to ask: "How did Aunt Shi know?"

Bai Yi answered half-heartedly, "In the camera that your mother left behind, there was a video recording that she left behind, which talked about sending you to the Wen family. Shi Yu might have been unable to accept this fact for a while because she saw this."

She has asked professionals to check all the contents in the camera. Except for the private file that has been deleted, the rest are daily records of Shi Yu and Shen Zhinian during their relationship, or some content she recorded later, all of which can be shown to Ning Yuechen.

Instead of trying to cover up the truth with lies, it is better to tell half of the truth, so that there will be no loopholes and no hidden dangers.

Ning Yuechen's eyes fell on Aunt Shi's sleeping face again, and he just said, "I want that camera."

"can."

Bai Yi carefully observed her expression: "Before Shi Yu passed away, she entrusted a lawyer to leave you a written suicide note, as well as a portion of the inheritance she had accumulated for you. After her funeral, the lawyer will contact you."

What she said was also true. When the lawyer hired by Shi Yu contacted Ning Yuechen by phone, the phone happened to be in her hand. Although the other party only asked for a meeting, Bai Yi guessed the general content at once.

So when she blocked the news of Shi Yu's death, she also blocked the lawyer.

But the truth could not be hidden, and Ning Yuechen guessed it anyway.

Bai Yi looked intently at Ning Yuechen's profile, and heard her ask, "You are Aunt Shi's daughter, how do you want to bury her?"

"Shi Yu's funeral has already been held at the Bai family's private cemetery. The news of her death will be announced in a while."

Ning Yuechen turned his head to look at her, and heard the man say, "My father requested that the ice coffin containing Shi Yu's body be buried together in the Bai family cemetery, so that they can rest in peace there together after a hundred years. So I asked someone to go to the funeral home to buy a body that almost perfectly matches Shi Yu's body shape, and also found a professional disguise artist and embalmer. In this way, my father won't be able to see any loopholes."

The day when Fake Shiyu was buried was when Bai Jingyuan was at his worst. All his organs, including his five senses, had already weakened, but he still forced himself to watch the real-time video. In addition, he had absolute trust in his biological daughter, so he did not find any loopholes at all, and did not have any doubts.

He would never have thought that his daughter, who hated her biological mother so much, would do such a substitutionary act right under his nose.

Bai Yi was worried that Ning Yuechen would not believe what he said, so he added: "You are the daughter raised by Shi Yu. You can tell at a glance whether the person in the ice coffin is her. There is a high-definition video of the burial ceremony of the fake body in the Bai family cemetery, and I will send it to you."

After a brief silence, Ning Yuechen spoke in a hoarse voice: "So what are you going to do with this real body now?"

"My eldest brother suggested that we bury our mother in Tianshou Cemetery, next to your mother's tombstone. This is the only way to truly rest in peace. Now it depends on what you think."

Ning Yuechen finally turned to look at Bai Yi, with a judgemental gaze, not missing any subtle expression on her face.

She didn't believe that this man was really so kind as to be willing to bury Aunt Shi and her mother together.

Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Bai Yi said, "I know you don't believe I would do this. In fact, I originally wanted to follow my father's wishes. Later, I watched the video content in the camera left by your mother, and changed my mind."

"Shiyu and your mother were once a loving couple, and they should have had a happy marriage and a happy life, but they ended up like that because of my father's scheme. This is one of the few things I can empathize with them, so I chose to fulfill Shiyu's last wish."

Bai Yi's words were indeed sincere, but the real reason was that she loved Ning Yuechen, so she was willing to empathize with Shi Yu and fulfill the regrets of the couple in their lives.

After a while, she heard Ning Yuechen say, "Bai Yi, I never thought you would say this."

Bai Yi looked at the person in the ice coffin and said, "As a daughter, this is the last thing I can do to be filial to Shi Yu."

She was willing to fulfill her filial duty as a daughter, but she was unwilling to call her mother again. She knew that Shi Yu hated her until her death, and she had never forgiven her.

It is a blessing to have few relatives, and what we should cultivate is to owe nothing to each other. Shi Yu gave her life, sent Ning Yuechen to her side, and saw her off to the end, fulfilling her last regret in life.

At this point, the relationship between the mother and daughter has ended and all grudges have been resolved.
