Chapter 356 Curiosity


Chapter 356 Curiosity

No matter what, Mrs. Pei is the mother of his son and his legitimate wife. Even if he wants to divorce her and help Mudan ascend to the throne, he has to look at Song Huai's face.

But what to do now?

Mr. Pei is dead, beaten to death by him.

what to do?

Just when Song Boqing was so frightened that he couldn't even recover, and he was still confused and frightened, Capt. Li came to the door with a large group of officials.

Li Captou took Song Baiqing away without saying a word.

It turned out that Dr. Li invited by the Song family was somewhat related to the Pei family. In the past, when the Pei family was in charge, he would always be invited to come to the house for medical treatment if anyone in the house felt unwell.

At that time, the Song family was still in decline. Every time Dr. Li came, Mrs. Pei would reward him with a few more coins. There were delicious pastries, dried fruits, etc. at home, and she would also ask the maid to pack a portion for him to take home for the children. .

Later, when Shi Wenting became the head of the family, Shi Wenting used doctors who were used to the Shi family. Doctor Li had not been to the Song family for a long time.

This time Pei was injured, so the housekeeper subconsciously ordered his servants to fetch him, but Doctor Li came a step too late, and Pei died first.

This master beat his wife to death. This is a big deal, and it might kill everyone in the Song family.

When the housekeeper was worried that Dr. Li would find out and find an excuse to send him back, Mudan's stomach hurt.

The housekeeper couldn't take care of that much anymore and quickly asked Dr. Li to see Mudan.

Mudan had a miscarriage, so she cried like crazy and revealed, intentionally or unintentionally, that Song Baiqing kicked Pei to death.

Dr. Li was horrified. He was afraid that the Song family would kill and silence him, so he used the excuse of going to the toilet. Then he sneaked out of the Song family unprepared and went straight to the government office to report the crime.

Song Boqing was arrested, and Capt. Li specially brought his wife for autopsy. It was determined that Pei had been kicked, hit a heavy object on the back of his head, and died of excessive blood loss.

The shoe prints of people present confirmed that the murderer was Song Boqing.

Li Captou arrested him without saying a word.

The Song family's misfortunes fell from the sky. Song Huai's mother died, his father was arrested again, and Mudan had another miscarriage (in his heart, the child in Mudan's belly was his). Therefore, on this day, he was equivalent to losing three children. The closest relatives.

He knelt in front of Pei's body, tears streaming down his face, heartbroken.

Shi Wenting shed tears while experiencedly ordering her servants to find the white man, white candles, linen, hemp rope, mourning clothes and other funeral items that had just been stored in the warehouse a few days ago.

Half an hour later, everyone in the mansion was dressed in white, kneeling in Pei's yard, crying loudly.

Shi Wenting helped Song Huai, helped him change into clothes with her own hands, and then arranged with the housekeeper to buy water and wash and dress Pei.

When Zeng received the news of Pei's death, it was already two hours later.

Zeng was extremely surprised, "You were fine a few days ago, so how can you say that you are dead?"

"He said he was beaten to death by the Marquis." Su's mother whispered the words she used to tell the servant who never reported funerals, "The Marquis was arrested, and the Song family is now in a state of misery and grief."


"How could that happen?" Mrs. Zeng was greatly surprised, then stamped her feet and cursed, "Beast, you are just a beast."

"Then Mrs. Pei has been with him for more than ten years, no matter whether she is good or not. In the past ten years, my sister has been a no-nonsense person. Mrs. Pei has taken care of the house inside and outside. She has no credit, and she has no credit. It’s hard work, not to mention that he gave birth to his eldest son, Brother Huai, and Song Baiqing, who is worse than a beast, how could he do it?”

"Old madam, don't be angry. Doctor Bai said that your body is too weak to be angry. You can't break your body for such a beast."

Seeing that Mrs. Zeng was so angry, Su's mother and Hongmei hurried forward to caress her chest and rub her temples.

After a long time, the fire in Zeng's heart slowly subsided under the persuasion of Nanny Su.

She raised her hand to signal Hongmei to stop, "No need to rub it. I'm fine. My old bones can still bear it."

"Old Madam, please take care of yourself." Hongmei said worriedly, "The County Lord said that except for the County Lord, the old lady can't care about anyone else's affairs. The County Lord relies on you."


Mrs. Zeng sighed deeply, "Don't worry, I will live a few more years just for Yu Niang."

"Mrs. Xu is not an easy person to get along with. She hates Yu Niang and I. If I die, Mrs. Xu will probably intervene in Yu Niang's affairs as a mother."

After all, Mrs. Xu is Yu Niang’s nominal mother.

Now she, the grandmother who raised Yu Niang, can suppress Xu, but if she dies, the first thing Xu will do once she gets over is probably to use her mother's identity to suppress Yu Niang.

Jade Niang had no choice but to obey.

Otherwise, if the label of unfilial piety is slapped off, Yuniang will not be able to bear it for the rest of her life.

Therefore, just for Yu Niang, she will live a few more years.

When A Qi finally handed Yu Niang into her hands, she felt relieved.

A trace of determination flashed in Zeng's eyes.

Then thinking of the Song family, she sighed again and said, "The Song family's luck in recent years is really..."

"People outside say that the Shi family is too strong and has killed the whole family of the mother-in-law, and now it wants to kill the Song family."

Speaking of which, it’s really...

Ever since Shi Wenting married into the Song family, the Song family's life began to go downhill, and their lives became more and more miserable day by day.

Then came the disasters.

First, little Zeng died, then Pei broke a leg and became disabled, then the Song family lost his title, and then Mr. Song passed away suddenly.

Now, just a few days after Mr. Song was buried, Mrs. Pei died again, beaten to death by Song Boqing. According to the laws of the Dasheng Dynasty, beating one's legitimate wife to death was punishable by death.

Song Baiqing... I'm afraid he's going to die too.

A good family, in just two years, only Mr. and Mrs. Song Huai were left.

Mrs. Zeng sighed and wanted to tell Hongmei to prepare the carriage. She went to the Song family to have a look.

But Mother Su advised her, "Old madam, it's almost dark now. If you go at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back tonight."

"Although Mrs. Pei was also a poor person who died at a young age, she was a junior. Even if the old lady didn't arrive at her funeral as soon as possible, no one would gossip."

"It's better to let the county chief accompany the old lady to go there in person tomorrow."

Zeng thought for a while and sat down again, "It's okay, the Song family and the Chu family are two families after all. If I go, there will be too many things involved, which is not good."

Hey, never mind, never mind.

She can't control that much.

Everyone has their own way of living and their own destiny. She can't control it, and she shouldn't.

After all, Song Huai's surname was Song, and he belonged to the Song family. There were several generations between him and her.

She shouldn't have to take care of this matter. If she does, it should be the Pei family. After all, Song Huai is the nephew of the Pei family. His relationship with the Pei family is as close as his relationship with her. Quite a few.

"Shi is a capable person, but it's a pity that his life is a little tougher." Zeng said with emotion.

Su's mother curled her lips and said disdainfully, "Humph, she was the one who fought hard to snatch this marriage from the county master. Now that her life is like this, who can be blamed?"

If there is a way to heaven, she will not take it, but if there is no way to hell, she will grab it.

She deserved that misfortune.

That bad appearance not only pitted the Shi family, but also brought down the entire Song family. It was best to stay away from her with such bad looks.

Mother Su cursed in her heart and secretly swore that in the future, she would keep the old lady away from Shi Wenting and avoid any bad luck.

Especially the County Lord, the County Lord is still young, nothing can happen to him.

……

Zeng was old and had poor health, so he couldn't go to Song's house in the dark. After Zeng resolutely got off school and learned the news, he rushed over without even eating dinner.

Zeng Yiran did not come back that night and stayed overnight at Song's house.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Mrs. Zeng took the Zeng sisters and Xia Zihan to the Song family.

When they arrived at Song's house, a group of people were welcomed into the mourning hall by the housekeeper.

In front of the mourning hall, Song Huai knelt there alone, deserted, depressed and decadent.

Mrs. Zeng led several juniors forward and burned three incense sticks and some paper money for Mrs. Pei. The three juniors, Xia Zihan, Zeng Jing and Zeng Ning, all knelt down and kowtowed several times.

Then, Shi Wenting, who came after hearing the news, walked in and led a group of people from the Zeng family to the side hall lounge for tea.

Shi Wenting was very silent. She answered whatever Zeng asked without saying a single unnecessary word.

Xia Zihan saw that no one came to worship except members of the Song family.

Probably the news that Song Boqing had killed his legitimate wife had spread, and people who had some contacts with the Song family in the past had stopped moving forward and did not dare to come.

Mrs. Zeng felt indescribably sad when she saw that the Song family was dying. It would be a lie to say that she was not worried at all.

In any case, no matter how bastard Song Baiqing is, he is also the only heir left by her sister, and now, hey...

Mrs. Zeng lamented repeatedly in her heart. After lunch and sitting for another hour, she took Xia Zihan back to Chu's house.

Sisters Zeng Jing and Zeng Ning stayed at the Song family to help Shi Wenting receive the female family members.

Zeng resolutely stayed and continued to help the Song family receive male guests.

The next day, Xia Zihan went to the Song family again, this time she went alone. Mrs. Zeng excused her poor health and stayed at home to help Mr. Zhuo raise the twins.

After Xia Zihan burned incense and kowtowed to Mrs. Pei, she took an opportunity to go to Peony's yard while no one was paying attention.

Mudan was lying on the bed wilting during confinement, when she saw a pretty and outrageous girl suddenly flying in from the window. She was shocked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

He stared at Xia Zihan with a defensive expression.

Xia Zihan stared at Mudan's stunning face with curiosity, studied it for a minute, and then smiled, "Don't be nervous, I'm not your enemy."

"Are you the Lord of Chuyu County?" Mudan guessed.

"It's really smart."

"Except for County Master Chu Yu, there seems to be no other person who is fourteen or fifteen years old, is beautiful, knows martial arts, and knows my true identity."
