Transmigrated into a vicious stepmother, striving to raise the little villain
Chapter 48 The Secret Chamber 7
Jiang Yan'an did not press the button immediately, but instead pointed it out to the others.
Zhao Momo hesitated, unsure if she could press the button. Mo Jingyu and the others had disappeared after pressing a similar button, but what if this button could take them all out? She was torn and couldn't make up her mind.
Mo Weiwei spoke up decisively, "I don't think we should press the button. My sister and the others might still be trapped in this trap waiting for us to rescue them. If we fall in too, who will save them?"
Jiang Yan'an was extremely anxious, his hands clenching unconsciously. He desperately wanted to press the button; his mind was completely focused on finding his mother, even though he knew it was an irrational thought.
Ultimately, Zhao Momo accepted Mo Weiwei's suggestion to postpone the plan and instead search for other clues. Jiang Yan'an understood that he couldn't find his mother on his own, so he suppressed his impulses and followed the two adults.
In the monitoring room of the secret room, Mo Jingyu paced back and forth anxiously, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. He muttered to Lin Yunyuan, "I knew they wouldn't press it in the first place."
Lin Yunyuan was equally anxious. Her daughter was so close, and her heart ached terribly. Seeing her daughter's frightened appearance, she felt extremely distressed, but she still tried her best to calm herself down and gently comforted Mo Jingyu, "Don't worry, they can do it."
The six left Diana's bedroom and returned to the dining room to discuss their next move. Zhao Momo knew that she had to take the lead now; Mo Weiwei seemed even less decisive than her.
She closed her eyes and pondered, going over everyone's analysis in her mind again and again, but she still had no clue. It seemed she had to figure out the whole story before she could understand it.
The secret room is on the second floor.
After discussing it for a while, the group decided to go upstairs to look for clues. When they went upstairs before, they only checked the male homeowner's bedroom. They ransacked the children's bedroom, but they missed one room—the room where Jiang Yan'an and the others had initially stayed.
The second-floor corridor has lighting, but the wall lights are dim.
To get through the corridor quickly, Zhao Momo carried Jiang Yan'an in her left arm and Su Nuohan in her right, while Li Zi'ang clung to Zhao Momo's neck in perfect harmony.
Zhao Momo couldn't help but complain in her heart: These days, nothing is easy.
This scene made the audience in front of the screen laugh so hard they almost fell over.
[Hahaha, Momo's stamina is amazing! She just carried it away without hesitation!]
[Hahahaha, Momo is just like that song now hhhhh]
I thought Zi'ang would get bitten on the mouth again.
If that were to happen, Momo's teeth would be in serious trouble.
Zhao Momo led the children in a thorough search of the second floor and actually found quite a few useful clues. Just as she was about to go to the next room, she saw Mo Weiwei strolling around leisurely and immediately became furious, shouting, "Miss, can't you hurry up! Don't you want to get out of here quickly?"
Mo Weiwei glanced at Zhao Momo, who was covered in sweat, and replied slowly, "Didn't the director say that we can only leave after we know the truth? Even if we're in a hurry, we still have to deduce the plot."
Zhao Momo was so angry at her tone that she simply ignored her and continued the search with the children.
The group arrived at the toy room where Jiang Yan'an and the others had initially stayed. The room was filled with all sorts of toys, a dazzling array.
When Jiang Yan'an and his team were searching, their height limited them from reaching many places. The director saw that climbing the cabinet was already their limit.
Zhao Momo reached down and took down the toys from the top shelf of the cabinet one by one, instructing the children to take them apart. After a flurry of activity, they found two slips of paper and a key among the toys.
The paper reads:
1. I saw my aunt add something to my mother's soup. I asked her about it, and she said it was good for my mother's health. My aunt lied! My mother coughed up blood after drinking it.
2. Dad lied to Mom again today. He told Mom he was very busy lately, but I saw him go shopping with Aunt.
Zhao Momo stared in disbelief at the contents of the note. Her cousin and the man were in cahoots. What was their motive for plotting to get rid of Diana? It couldn't possibly be because of love.
While it's not impossible, after all, love can sometimes make people lose their minds and do crazy things.
Zhao Momo tried to find the lock corresponding to the key, searching the toy room for a long time without success. Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration and remembered the box in the secret room of the study, which had a lock. She immediately decided to try it and hurried downstairs with the children, while Mo Weiwei followed behind, panting heavily and staggering.
Zhao Momo slowly inserted the key into the lock and gently turned it to the right. With a "click," the lock opened! She couldn't wait to take the things out of the box, and everyone squatted around, curiously examining them.
Inside the box was a letter, a packet of powder wrapped in kraft paper with the words "hallucinogen" clearly written on it, and a photograph in which Diana smiled brightly, while Nan Hong looked at her tenderly beside her.
Zhao Momo stared at the photo, completely bewildered. What exactly was Nan Hong planning?
Mo Weiwei peeked out from behind, glanced at the photo, and instantly understood. She took out the photo that the child had found earlier and said to Zhao Momo, "Momo, look at Nan Yunna in this photo and this Diana, don't they look alike?"
Zhao Momo took the photo and compared it carefully. After a moment, she couldn't help but swear, "This guy is using her as a stand-in for his cousin?" Mo Weiwei shook her head and said, "No, my cousin is a stand-in for Diana."
Zhao Momo was completely bewildered and pressed for an answer, "How is that possible?! His wife is his white moonlight, why would he mess with her?" Mo Weiwei pointed at the photo and patiently analyzed, "Diana's appearance, style, hair, and makeup are all extremely harmonious. But Nan Yunna, although a style contrast isn't necessarily bad, she neglected to manage her facial expressions before changing her style."
As she spoke, she pointed to Diana in the group photo, "Look, even though Diana is dressed brightly, her expression still exudes the gentleness seen in the photo. Moreover, this photo is four years earlier than the group photo of the four of them."
After Mo Weiwei finished her analysis, the children beside her, including Zhao Momo, couldn't help but applaud. The children started praising her, making Mo Weiwei a little embarrassed.
Zhao Momo pressed on, "Then why would this man kill his beloved wife?" Mo Weiwei shook her head and guessed, "The answer might be in the letter."
Watching this scene on the screen, Mo Jingyu couldn't help but think, "This female lead usually seems quite clever, but she seems to lose her intelligence when she's with me. Is this the 'mutual restraint' relationship between the protagonist and the antagonist?"
Zhao Momo unfolded the letter; it was written by Diana:
Ah Hong, I don't know if you'll ever see this letter. Perhaps by then, I'll be terminally ill, beyond cure. Don't be sad... But you probably won't be sad either. Nan Hong, why couldn't you lie to me forever? Am I really so repulsive to you after having a child? Then why did you say you wanted to have a child with me? I was so happy to bear your children, but why! Why are you treating me like this after I gave birth?
If I hadn't given birth, would you have loved me forever? I drugged Tiantian several times, each time thinking that if he died, you might love me again. But when the moment actually came, I found I couldn't bring myself to do it; he was my child. But it's all too late. I'm dying, Nan Hong, I don't want to love you anymore… Tiantian, I'm sorry.
After reading the letter, the two remained silent for a long time. Zhao Momo finally understood that the story was actually not complicated and roughly matched Mo Jingyu's previous guess.
Those viewers who have given birth probably understand why Diana was disliked. They are both angry and helpless. In real life, there are quite a few women who are disliked because of having children.
The six of them headed toward Diana's bedroom again. As they passed the bathroom mirror, Zhao Momo glanced at it subconsciously. The face in the mirror looked terrifying, but upon closer inspection, it was also pitiful.
