How could they accept the fact that their loved ones had to die before them?

After Deng's mother finished crying, she turned to the yamen runner and asked:

"Sir, where is the man who killed my daughter now?"

"That person is locked up now. The adults said that they will open the court after you pass by!"

"Okay, let's go now."

Deng Xu helped Deng's mother stand up, and the two wiped away their tears and walked out together.

Not long after they left the morgue, they were blocked by a couple.

The visitor looked Deng's mother up and down. After a moment, the lady asked:

"Are you the Deng couple?"

Mother Deng nodded. She was so grief-stricken that she could not speak.

The lady continued:

"We are Kong Yangling's mother."

Deng Yu asked:

"Who is Kong Yangling? We don't know him."

The servant next to him explained:

"Kong Yangling is the young man who forced your daughter to jump into the river."

After hearing this, Deng's mother raised her head and stared at the two people in front of her.

The Kong couple were shocked by the coldness and hatred in the two men's eyes.

Mother Kong still said:

"Can we talk?"

Deng Yu stared at the two people in front of him and said:

"There is nothing to hide. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

Mother Kong looked at the two people in front of her with gloomy faces and said:

"We didn't expect this to happen. Now that it has happened, we would like to discuss with you how to resolve it?"

"Our daughter is gone, how are you going to solve this problem?

Can my daughter be brought back to life?"

"The dead cannot be resurrected. We can compensate you with some silver. Can you talk to the adults and reduce my son's guilt?"

Mother Deng glared at Mother Kong angrily and said:

"You feel bad for your son, and we feel bad for our daughter, too. We are all mothers, so how dare you ask us to go and beg for mercy from the adults?"

After hearing this, Kong's mother's face changed. She was the wife of an official. How could a merchant's wife have the right to point at her nose and scold her?

"Don't be so shameless. It has already happened. We are already giving you enough face by coming here in person to discuss the solution to this matter. Don't be ungrateful!"

"You're discussing this? When did you discuss this with us?

This is to inform us.

If we disagree, you will get angry and ashamed!

I tell you, our family doesn't need that little money, and I will make sure the person who killed my daughter is buried with her."

“You dare!”

"See if I dare!"

Kong Xu had been silent until now, but now he spoke:

"You better think it through. Do you want the money or do you want to go against our Kong family?"

Deng Yu refused to give in and said:

"Forget it, we will not compromise on this matter, we will definitely seek justice for our daughter.

Lord Kong is only a fifth-rank official. This is the capital, not a place where Lord Kong can do whatever he wants.

There are many people in the capital who hold higher positions than Lord Kong.

If it really doesn't work, I can still go and file a complaint. Even if it costs me my life, I will seek justice for my daughter."
