Chapter 74: Madam Song Vomits Blood
After tearing Lin Xiu's body into pieces, Jin Tao kowtowed solemnly to Jin's father and mother.
The underworld official wanted to take her to the underworld, but the fate of the child born in the coffin became a problem.
The child was born from a coffin and suffocated to death in the coffin. The underworld would not accept the child because his life span on earth was not over yet.
Li Shuhui pursed her lips, looked at Su Tan with an inquiring gaze, and suddenly asked, "Can this child be saved? I'll pay for the necessary money."
"No, how can I let you come out!"
Jin's father and mother subconsciously refused. After all, the Jin family had no relationship with the people in Jian'an Marquis Mansion. Now the Jin family had also received compensation from Emperor Qinglong, so they really shouldn't ask for Li Shuhui's money.
"Let Shuhui go out."
An old and gentle voice sounded. It was from Old Lady Chen who was leaning on a cane.
The old lady's spirits were much better than before. She sighed, her eyes filled with deep compassion and sorrow. "If you don't let Shuhui pay this money, she will never be at peace for the rest of her life."
Although the culprit for Jin Tao's death was the greedy Lin family, even if there was no Li Shuhui, there would be Zhang Shuhui and Wang Shuhui.
But in this world, there are always people who like to take the blame when something goes wrong.
The rest of the Li family also tried to persuade them, and the Jin family had no choice but to obey their orders.
Before Jin Tao left with the ghost messenger, she suddenly turned around, her eyes fell on Li Shuhui, and she said, "Li Shuhui, thank you."
"Also, let yourself go."
Li Shuhui was stunned, looking at the direction Jin Tao left, unable to recover for a long time.
Jin's father and mother's eyes were red. They wiped their tears and said in a choked voice, "How long will Taotao suffer in hell?"
Su Tan lowered his eyes. "It's hard to say, maybe twenty years, maybe thirty years. If you don't want her to suffer, you can copy more scriptures for her and do more good deeds."
"Good...good...good..." Mr. and Mrs. Jin wiped away their tears and said three good words in a row.
…
After Mr. and Mrs. Jin left, Li Shuhui looked at Su Tan and couldn't help asking, "County Master Jiayi, did you say that on purpose?"
"Actually, Jin Tao won't be tortured in the underworld, right?"
Su Tan nodded, then shook his head again, "I can't say it won't happen, but it's just not as serious as I said."
Jin Tao killed Lin's father and mother, but she will not pay the price for it. Killing someone means paying with your life, and debts mean paying them back. She was killed by Lin's father and mother, so it is only natural for her to seek revenge on them.
But she almost harmed Old Lady Chen.
It almost brought disaster to the entire Jian'an Marquis Mansion.
Although no one in the Jian'an Marquis Mansion died at her hands, it was thanks to the mansion's good fortune, not Jin Tao's mercy.
Jin Tao will have to pay the price for this, but she won't have to be tortured for twenty or thirty years, just one or two years at most.
Li Shuhui sighed. Even she could see that Jin's parents had originally intended to die. Lin Xiu's ridiculous words had dealt them a huge blow. To put it bluntly, they were afraid that as soon as Jin Tao left, Jin's father and mother would kill themselves to accompany her.
"You said that just to give them hope of survival."
Hearing Li Shuhui's voice, Su Tan nodded.
Even if Jin Tao's parents died, they could not reunite with Jin Tao in the underworld. Unless there were special reasons, people who committed suicide were not qualified to enter the underworld and would only repeat the process of suicide over and over again.
Until the end of life.
Su Tan felt a surge of heat coming from his dantian. He lowered his head and spread out his palms. A golden light invisible to others poured into his body.
It is the light of merit.
…
After returning from the Jian'an Marquis Mansion, Su Tan received the dowry returned by the Song family. Gu Mingzhu calmly recounted the Song family's shamelessness. When she mentioned that Old Madam Song threatened to commit suicide and threatened Song Tingchen to keep the screen set, she couldn't help but sneer, "Just treat it as a joke."
"I really want to know if the old pious woman of the Song family will ask Song Tingchen to take this to her grave when she passes away."
Whether he can do it or not has nothing to do with Su Tan.
She twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, "Who knows."
Seeing that everyone around her was her own people, Gu Mingzhu said, "I think the old woman from the Song family will have her wish dashed again this time."
"She has always hated to see Old Madam Chen getting well. When Old Madam Chen became seriously ill, she was probably the happiest person. But now that you have eliminated the evil spirit from the Jian'an Marquis Mansion, Old Madam Chen is safe and sound. That old woman from the Song family will have trouble sleeping tonight."
Speaking of Old Lady Song’s hatred for Old Lady Chen.
Gu Mingzhu's evaluation can be summed up in four words.
--baffling!
When Song Tingchen first started to make a name for himself, Old Madam Song couldn't wait to attend banquets at the homes of various noble ladies, but she didn't allow Su Tan to go with him.
She didn't quite understand the rules of the capital and made a lot of jokes.
Once, she mistook the orchids planted in the garden of the Minister of Rites for leeks. At that time, Old Lady Chen rescued her and said that Old Lady Song understood the difficulties of people's lives and the suffering of the people better than they did.
The group of people who had laughed at Old Madam Song at that time also looked ashamed after hearing what Old Madam Chen said.
But for some reason, Old Lady Song hated Old Lady Chen from then on.
Maybe she thought Old Lady Chen was showing off her knowledge.
Or perhaps she felt that although Old Lady Chen was praising her on the surface, she was actually secretly mocking her for coming from a poor background and having never seen anything good.
Even if you gain power, you are still lowly at heart.
Gu Mingzhu shook her head. "Some people are just like that. They are not worth your kindness for your whole life."
"There were so many people in the capital who mocked her back then, but she forgot all of them. She even fawned over them afterwards. The only people she hated were Old Lady Chen and that old hag from the Song family."
This is also why Su Tan has never treated the Song family unfairly.
But Old Madam Song always felt that Su Tan owed the Song family something.
Su Tan looked at the boxes of dowry being carried into his warehouse. Perhaps because his things were returned, some of the merits and luck that he had given away to change the fate of Song Tingchen and the Song family also came back.
She felt the warmth coming from her dantian and nodded slightly to Gu Mingzhu.
"Second sister-in-law, you are right."
"Some people just don't deserve your kindness."
…
Song family.
After learning that Su Tan was safe and sound after visiting Old Madam Chen at the Marquis of Jian'an's Mansion, Old Madam Song was so angry that she scolded Su Tan for a long time in the mansion.
What kind of slut, jinx, short-lived ghost, they all use ugly names.
At the end of the scolding, Old Madam Song even smashed several sets of tea sets.
"She's a jinx, a beast who's deliberately trying to piss me off. She knows full well that Chen is just trying to gain fame and reputation, and that he's destined for a short life, yet she still wants to help him!"
"Why did she come back? Since she came back, our entire Song family has had a rough time. We are all pissed off by her. Why didn't that little bitch Su Tan just die outside?"
Su Tan clearly knew how much he hated that old bitch named Chen.
But I still have to get involved in the Chen family's mess.
It's obvious that he is deliberately making things difficult for me!
Liu Qingyin watched quietly as Old Madam Song went crazy.
Wait until the old lady has smashed most of her things.
Liu Qingyin stepped forward and sighed, "Auntie, please don't be angry."
"If I get so angry that I become ill, I don't know how Old Lady Chen from the Jian'an Marquis's Mansion will feel comfortable."
Old Madam Song gritted her teeth and wanted to say that it was exactly that.
At this time, a servant delivered the invitation.
It was said that next month, Old Lady Chen would be celebrating her 70th birthday, and she was invited to attend the banquet at her mansion.
Old Madam Song's anger had already subsided by half, but when she saw the content of this post, she was so angry that her hands were shaking.
Old Madam Song's eyes and mouth were crooked, she spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted from anger.
