I was stunned for a moment.

"Now it's finally coming to an end," Chang An sighed.

"Not yet," I wiped away the blood that had spilled from the fight at the corner of my mouth, "We still have one person to meet."

"Who?"

"Aunt He."

I brought Chang An and Wen Huai to Aunt He's house.

Aunt He was sitting at the door, picking at the small pits and holes on the old door, muttering something to herself.

"Actually, you're not crazy at all, Aunt He," I said bluntly.

Aunt He paused for a moment, and when she realized it, she continued picking at the small hole in the door crack, as if she hadn't heard anything.

"You pretend to be crazy and act foolish because you feel guilty," I continued, hitting the nail on the head without mercy. "You feel guilty that Lady Wang became pregnant but died by throwing herself into a well, one life ending in two deaths. And you, you are one of the culprits who drove her to her downfall. Isn't that right?"

Aunt He started to lose her composure. She looked up, staring at me intently.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and the wrinkles on her face deepened due to grief. Her trembling lips tried to say something, but nothing came out. Tears just kept rolling in her eyes.

After a while, she finally spoke, "I'm sorry..."

"If you want to hear it, come inside," Aunt He casually wiped the corner of her eye and invited us all into the house.

From Aunt He, I learned that the woman who threw herself into the well was named Acha. When Wang Jia fell seriously ill and wanted to have a child, Acha was sold to Wang Jia by her biological parents as a concubine.

She escaped and ran to the home of her childhood sweetheart, who shared the same feelings.

However, the childhood sweetheart was afraid of trouble from Wang Jia, so he let go.

He let go of his own love.

Aunt He felt guilty because she was the one who arranged this marriage for Acha.

Later, she forcibly dragged Acha to the Wang Mansion from the home of her childhood sweetheart.

"After Acha died, everyone involved in this matter also died," Aunt He said.

"Then why are you still alive?" I asked.
