Actually, it wasn't that Aunt Chi forgot to visit Old Mrs. Lin during those three years; it was Old Mrs. Lin who asked someone to write to Aunt Chi, telling her that she was doing well and asking her not to visit, lest her son at home be unhappy.

Although Aunt Chi was a little sad, she respected the old man's wishes, after all, the most important thing was the old man's life in his later years.

So every year during festivals, she would have someone send her a lot of nice things, such as cloth or other things she happened to see, like things to buy for her mother.

Every time I delivered something, I would bring back a letter from the old lady.

The letters were all the same: "I'm doing well. Don't worry about me or come to visit."

Aunt Chi thought that if she went, her elder brother and younger brother might be dissatisfied with her because of the passing of Old Master Lin, which would only make things difficult for her mother, so she never went.

But I was still a little worried.

"Mother, don't worry. Even if it's just because of the things we sent, my uncles will definitely treat my grandmother well."

Seeing that her mother was restless, Chi Tang offered a few words of comfort.

Aunt Chi took a deep breath, lifted the carriage curtain and looked outside, without saying anything.

They were heading to Zuoyang Town.

Because Lin Huaixi, the second son of the Lin family, lived in Zuoyang Town.

After arriving in Zuoyang Town, the Chi family inquired about the Dong family in town who sold wine.

The Dong family has been selling wine in Zuoyang Town for over a hundred years. By the time of Dong Cunhang's generation, they only had one daughter, Dong Pan'er.

Dong Pan'er is Lin Huaixi's wife.

Since the Lin Family Escort Agency's business plummeted, Lin Huaixi and his wife came to Zuoyang Town to sell wine with his father-in-law, Dong Cunhang, and they managed to make a decent living.

Moreover, Dong Cunhang is an honest person; otherwise, Old Master Lin would have chosen the second son when considering his wife's retirement.

He chose his second son's wife because she was easy to talk to and obedient to his son and father-in-law, so that his wife wouldn't be bullied.

The old man never imagined that the day after his death, his wife would be driven to death by his sons.

"This should be it."

"Yes, it says so, Dong Family Winery." Xingxing jumped off the carriage first, then helped Aunt Chi down from the carriage.

Aunt Chi straightened her clothes, then took Xingxing's hand in one hand and Chi Tang's hand in the other and went inside.

The Dong Family Wine Shop is old and small. It feels dim and oppressive as soon as you enter.

There were also flies buzzing around.

This made Chi Tang frown.

Why are there flies in a food and drink shop?

"Ah, sir, buying wine? What kind of wine? My family's wine... Lan Niang? What brings you here?"

Lin Huaixi thought a guest had arrived, but before he could finish speaking, he realized it was actually his younger sister, Lin Lanniang!

He immediately frowned and said unhappily, "What are you doing here? You're not welcome in my home."

From childhood, Lin Huaixi and Lin Lanniang had a bad relationship, but it was still acceptable.

But they haven't seen each other for over twenty years, so how could their relationship possibly be good?

"Second Uncle, we've come to visit Grandmother." Chi Tang broke the silence crisply.

At the same time, it was also to tell Lin Huaixi not to think too much. They came to visit the old lady. If it weren't for the old lady being here, who would want to see his stern face?

Looking at the old lady?

A look of panic flashed across Lin Huaixi's face, and he almost instinctively lied:

"Oh, Mother missed Third Brother and the others, so she went to stay at Third Brother's house."

He didn't want to talk about his mother's death, no matter who explained it.

Aunt Chi asked suspiciously, "Did you go to your third brother's place?"

Chi Tang stared at Lin Huaixi, sensing that something was amiss.

Xingxing suddenly spoke up: "Second Uncle, but we just came back from Third Uncle's place. They said it was with you."

It's obvious they're lying!

Sure enough, Xingxing's trickery caused the other party to immediately change their tune: "Ah, I was mistaken. Mother went to my eldest brother's place."

Even Aunt Chi noticed something was wrong. She bluntly said, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll report you to the authorities."

What exactly happened?

Why lie?

Is it because you're worried she'll see her mother?

But why worry about her seeing her mother?

In just a short while, countless absurd and terrifying thoughts had flashed through Aunt Chi's mind.

I was extremely anxious.

"Report to the authorities?"

Lin Huaixi was stunned for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Xingxing stepped forward and grabbed Lin Huaixi, saying, "Let's go to the yamen now."

No matter how hard Lin Huaixi struggled, he couldn't break free!

"No, don't go to the yamen! I'll talk, I'll talk! Oh dear, Mother is dead. She suddenly fainted the day after Father died, and then she died."

Lin Huaixi was so frightened that he blurted everything out.

Xingxing immediately released him: "How could you be dead? Explain yourself clearly!"

These words struck Aunt Chi like a thunderbolt. She couldn't believe it; her pupils dilated, and she murmured:

"How could this be? But for the past three years, I have been sending things to my mother, and she has occasionally written back to me."

"You took all of those things, didn't you?" Chi Tang said coldly, looking at Lin Huaixi who dared not look up at them.

How despicable!

He wouldn't even spare his own dead mother just to take advantage of her!

Scumbag!

Lin Huaixi lowered his head in shame and murmured, almost pleadingly, "Let's talk in the backyard..."

Guests could come in at any time. What would it look like if they heard us?
