Lan Xiucheng frowned. He felt that there was something strange about the people from the Wang family. He stepped forward and said, "My father is not well yet. May I ask what brings you here?"
He didn't speak as politely as Madam Gu. In his eyes, his sister was killed by the Wang family. Otherwise, how could a perfectly healthy person die overnight?
As for the Wang family's extravagant funeral arrangements, it's clear they have a guilty conscience.
Although they kidnapped the younger sister, the Wang family was a wealthy household. Being a concubine to Master Wang was better than being a wife to an ordinary farmer. Although Master Wang's wife had a bad reputation, if the younger sister caught Master Wang's eye, it was not impossible for her to go from concubine to wife in the future.
The younger sister sold herself to save her father, just as filial daughters in ancient times did, following the example of the virtuous ancestors, and he didn't see anything wrong with it.
The only problem is the Wang family; how could they let their sister die?
His cold tone actually made Linghu Lan feel a bit more favorably disposed towards him. Linghu Lan looked at him and asked, "I wonder if the young master's marriage is settled?"
Lan Xiucheng's expression changed. Being nearly jilted multiple times was a source of deep resentment for him. "What does this have to do with you? What brings you to my house today? If there's nothing to say, we're afraid we won't keep you company. Farmers are busy all year round and have no time to chat with important people during the day."
He has quite a temper.
Linghu Lan smiled and said, "I came to tell you that Lan Qinyu was murdered. She was beaten to death with a whip by Master Wang's wife, Tu Sanniang, in the small woodshed. Her death was very tragic. Before she died, she instructed me to tell you so that you could seek justice for her. I have come today to tell you this. I see that you, young master, are so full of vigor and will surely seek justice for her."
"What did you say?" Gu felt a buzzing in her head, as if something had exploded. She swayed three times and collapsed.
Lan Xiucheng quickly helped her up and turned his head to say, "Are you telling the truth? You are Master Wang's aunt, what right do you have to inform us?"
Linghu Lan laughed and said, "My grandson has no conscience, but I still have one. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. Lan Qinyu is a wandering ghost who died unjustly, and she probably won't be able to enter the cycle of reincarnation. If you pity her, then go and report her to the authorities. If you don't believe me and don't want revenge, so be it. This is her blood-stained clothes. Her body was only buried a few days ago. When you report her to the authorities, the coroner will examine her body and then he will know whether what I said is true or not."
A bloodstained, peach-colored dress was thrown at Lan Xiucheng's feet.
Upon seeing this, Gu's eyes rolled back, and she nearly fainted.
Lan Xiucheng froze for a moment, then picked up the blood-stained clothes. It was indeed the peach-pink dress his sister loved to wear. The clothes were now tattered and covered in whip marks and bloodstains. If it really was...
"Old dog Wang, I'm going to sue him!" Lan Xiucheng roared in fury.
Madam Gu immediately snapped out of her daze and grabbed Lan Xiucheng's hand tightly. "No, you can't sue! You won't win! You're all I have left, my only lifeline. You can't sue."
"Mother! Is my sister just going to die like this for nothing?"
"No, you're still young, you don't understand. The Wang family is powerful and wealthy, we can't win a lawsuit against them. Besides, we sold your sister, she's just a concubine, the master can do whatever he wants with her. She was born a member of the Wang family, and she'll die a member of the Wang family, she has nothing to do with us anymore. Besides, the Wang family wouldn't beat her for no reason, she might have made a mistake. You can't be confused."
