With the charred skeletons of the Gu family still fresh in her mind, Grandma Song couldn’t help but shiver.
Song Wangyue saw it in her eyes and knew that her purpose had been achieved, so she lightened her voice, “Not afraid of a million things, but just in case, it’s better for Grandma to ask.”
“I’ll go ask right now.”
Grandma Song got up and was about to go outside, when she was stopped by Song Wangyue.
“I just asked a few questions, and Third Uncle was so distraught. You probably still won’t be able to ask anything in front of him again, so we need to find a chance to get Third Uncle away.”
“Third brother isn’t easy to get rid of.”
Liu Cui Lan said.
These days Song San snacked and lived at the dartboard, and during the day he even knelt outside the hearse, completely treating himself as the aunt of the Qi family. Especially since Qi Ying had been crying and emaciated for the past few days, he had not left a single step.
“Didn’t grandpa and second uncle just go to get the things to be used for the funeral, tell second brother to go and tell third uncle that the things haven’t been bought yet, and that grandpa and second uncle are busy with their guests, so let third uncle go and buy them, otherwise they will be delayed for tomorrow.”
“I’ll go.”
Grandma Song asked Song Shen to call Master Song over, asked him what else he had not yet acquired, and then went to the dartboard.
The dartboard was still cold and quiet, Qi Ying had stopped crying and was leaning against the coffin like a lost soul, Song San Xiao wanted to go up and comfort her but didn’t know what to say.
Grandma Song went over and called Song Sanxiao aside and told him to go and buy the things he needed.
Song Sanxiao didn’t take off his mourning clothes and went straight out of the dartboard in them.
Looking at his back, Grandma Song sighed, Lao San had really put Qi Ying in his heart, even if he knew there was danger, he would not have failed to marry Qi Ying.
After walking into the hearse and burning a few sheets of paper, Grandma Song sat down next to Qi Ying, “Miss Qi, let me ask you something.”
Qi Ying slowly sat up straight, her voice mute, “You speak.”
“Tell me the truth, who killed the great master Qi?”
Qi Ying’s body tensed up, she knew that Song Wan Yue would definitely say something to her family, before she could speak, tears flowed down her face, “Do you not believe what I said?”
She said, holding up her finger, “I swear to God, if I tell half a lie, I will be struck by lightning and thunder and will not be allowed to die.”
“Well, well ……”
Grandma Song hastily pushed her finger down, “It’s not that I don’t believe what you say, but I think Yue’er has a point, if Grand Master Qi was really killed on the way to escort the dart, why didn’t you go and retrieve his body?”
“I ……”
Qi Ying was panicking badly, trying to spin his chaotic brain to find a way to say something that didn’t break down.
“Mother ……”
Song San trotted back, he had forgotten to ask for the silver for Grandma Song, and paused when he saw Qi Ying in tears.
Qi Ying scrambled to wipe her tears, as if she didn’t want him to see.
Song Sanxiao became suspicious, and when he saw his grandmother sitting in front of Qi Ying, he thought of something and went forward and took her arm and pulled her up, “Mother, I have something to say to you.”
After dragging her to a distance and releasing her hand, Song Sanxiao asked, “Mother, what did you say to Miss Qi?”
When her question was interrupted, Grandma Song also became angry and glared at him, “What, I can’t even talk to her?”
Seeing that Grandma Song was angry, Song Sanxiao hurriedly said, “I didn’t mean that, I was afraid that you might say something that you shouldn’t.”
He had heard exactly what Yue’er had asked Qi Ying just now, but he believed that Qi Ying would not lie to him.
Grandma Song became even angrier, “Tell me, what should be said and what should not be said?”
Song San Xiao choked for a moment.
If it were usual, he would have laughed and brushed it off, but when it was about Qi Ying, he plucked up his courage and said, “I heard what Yue’er just said to Miss Qi, are you also suspicious?”
Grandma Song slapped him hard on the head, almost knocking his mourning hat off his head, “I think you’ve been sleepless for the past few days and have lost your mind! What suspicion do I have? I saw that many people had come from the Xiao family and wanted to ask Miss Qi if she would like to help retrieve the body of the Great Master Qi so that the couple could be buried together.”
“Really?”
Song San Xiao didn’t believe it.
Grandma Song’s hand went up again.
Song Sanxiao hurriedly covered her head and backed away.
Grandma Song went after him and twisted his ears to drag him further away, “Since you are worried that Mother has said something she shouldn’t, then you should go and ask yourself, no matter what Miss Qi decides, our family is considered to be benevolent and righteous.”
Song San Xiao’s teeth were bared as he was twisted, and he nodded his head in panic at her words.
Grandma Song let go of her hand, “Go and ask now, mother is waiting to make arrangements.”
“No, it’s not good ……”
The word “bar” did not come out, and when he saw his grandmother glare, Song San Xiao was so frightened that he hurriedly turned around and walked into the spirit hall, squatting in front of Qi Ying, seeing her silently shedding tears, his heart ached, lifting up his sleeve to help her wipe, but Qi Ying subconsciously dodged it.
Song San’s small hand paused for a moment and withdrew, without a trace of annoyance, and said softly, “Don’t misunderstand, my mother didn’t mean anything else, she just wanted to let your parents be buried together. If you don’t want to go, tell us where Grand Master Qi died, and the Xiao family will help get the body back.”
“I, I don’t know, I wasn’t in the dartboard at the time, it was my mother who got the news, and she was already …… when I came back”
Before he finished his sentence, he cried out in pain again.
Song San Xiao clumsily comforted her.
After a long time, Qi Ying stopped crying.
Only then did Song Sanxiao get up and go out to tell Grandma Song.
Grandma Song did not stop and went back to the mansion to tell Song Wan Yue and Liu Cui Lan.
After hearing this, Song Wangyue’s face was grave, “It seems that we guessed well, 80% of them are revenge killings, if that’s the case ……”
The latter words she did not say.
Instead, Grandma Song and Liu Cui Lan both went white.
Over there in the house.
Xiao Zheng turned the conversation to the Wei Yuan Dart Board without a trace, and his eyes narrowed when he heard that all the men from the dart board had died on the way to escort the dart.
Song Wangyue came in from outside, “Grandpa, Second Uncle, Grandma has something for you.”
Elder Song thought it was for them to buy things for tomorrow’s funeral, got up and told Song Wan Yue and Song Shen to entertain Xiao Zheng well while he and Song Shu came over to this side of the house.
Upon entering, he was startled to see Grandma Song’s pale face, “What’s wrong with you?”
Grandma Song told Song Wangyue what she had just speculated, and after hearing this, Elder Song also changed his face in shock.
“Then, what then?”
These few days Lao-san had been at the spirit to observe mourning, and had already made it clear that he was the aunt, if they went back on their word, word would make people laugh, and more importantly they couldn’t fall on their sword at this time and prevent Song San Xiao from settling down with Qi Ying.
In the house over there, Song Wan Yue asked Song Shen to go and refill Xiao Zheng’s tea.
When Song Shen went out, Song Wan Yue lowered her voice, “I want to ask Uncle Xiao half a favour.”
“Go ahead.”
“I want Uncle Xiao to take someone to steal Madam Qi’s body at night.”
