The early morning sun shines into the house, illuminating the dim room.
Su Jinyue and Zhan Yihan walked out of their little world sweetly and started making breakfast in the kitchen.
"Bang, bang, bang!" There was a rapid knock on the door outside.
Su Jinyue looked up and saw that the person outside was Han Bing. "It's Han Bing. I'll go to the door."
He walked forward, opened the door, and looked at Han Bing, who looked anxious. "What's wrong? What happened?"
"Sister Jinyue, I just got the news that Lin Muzhu jumped off the building last night." Han Bing said sadly. She and Lin Muzhu knew each other for a while, so she was really sad to hear the news.
Su Jinyue released her spiritual sense and looked over, and saw Lin Muzhu lying in the operating room of the hospital. Because of his serious injuries, he was no longer breathing. She sighed deeply in her heart.
"Sister Jinyue, do you have a way to save Lin Muzhu?" Han Bing asked. After learning that Lin Muzhu was in trouble, she immediately thought of Sister Jinyue. Sister Jinyue was an alchemist and must have a way to save Lin Muzhu.
Su Jinyue shook her head, "She's gone." She was also very sad for Lin Muzhu, but she couldn't save her. Lin Muzhu was an ordinary person. Even if she took the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill and saved her life, she would just be a walking corpse, a body without a soul. What's the difference between being alive and being dead?
"Is it too late to save her?" Han Bing asked sadly. Thinking of Lin Muzhu's passing at such a young age, she felt as if something was blocking her heart.
"Yeah." Su Jinyue nodded. She didn't expect Lin Muzhu to choose this method.
"Sister Jinyue, let's go see Lin Muzhu." Han Bing's eyes were red as she looked at Su Jinyue. She had just mentioned Lin Muzhu to Sister Jinyue yesterday, but she hadn't expected something like this to happen to her today. It was truly a pity. What could have been so difficult for her to overcome that she chose to end her life this way?
Su Jinyue nodded and turned to look at Zhan Yihan who had already walked up to her, "Yihan, Han Bing and I are going to mourn Lin Muzhu, do you want to come with us?" She and Lin Muzhu were classmates, so it was only right for her to see her off for the last time.
"Okay." Zhan Yihan nodded.
In the hospital square, the Jin family and Lin Muzhu's family were in a stalemate.
"Muzhu is already married to your Jin family, so you, the Jin family, must take care of her affairs after her death." Lin Muzhu's mother kept wiping away tears and arguing with the Jin family. Upon hearing the news of their daughter's accident, they traveled to the capital overnight. However, they didn't even get to see Muzhu one last time; she was gone.
What made them even more angry was that the Jin family actually wanted to send their daughter directly to the funeral home and didn't even plan to help with her funeral affairs. Mu Zhu was the daughter-in-law of their Jin family. How could their Jin family be so cold and heartless?
"When you married your daughter, you asked for quite a bit of betrothal gifts. That's more than enough to cover Lin Muzhu's funeral," Old Lady Jin sneered sarcastically. She had never acknowledged Lin Muzhu's identity, and she wasn't sure if the child in Lin Muzhu's belly was her son's. A young woman who got pregnant before marriage couldn't be considered a decent person.
"My sister is already a member of your Jin family. You must take care of her funeral, otherwise we will sue you. My sister died by jumping off a building. Who knows if there was anything else going on? I asked the doctor, and he said she had a miscarriage before she jumped." Lin Mudong looked at Old Lady Jin and said in a firm tone. If the Jin family didn't take care of this matter, it would fall on their heads. As the saying goes, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. How could they possibly take over this mess?
"Go ahead and sue if you have the guts. Lin Muzhu jumped off the building on his own, we didn't push him down," said Old Lady Jin with a sullen face. She would definitely not help with Lin Muzhu's funeral.
"Then you bring the money and we will help Muzhu." Father Lin said.
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Jin burst into laughter and said, "It's all about money after all. Do you think our Jin family runs a bank?" This time, their Jin family will not pay a penny.
"Then we'll leave Muzhu at the doorstep of your Jin family and let everyone see how you treat your daughter-in-law," Lin Muzhu's sister-in-law said firmly. The Jin family either had to pay or handle Lin Muzhu's funeral in a dignified manner, or else the Lin family would fight them to the bitter end.
"If our Jin family is afraid of you, we, the Jin family, should not stay in the capital." Old Mrs. Jin snorted coldly, turned her head and looked at Jin Shouyi beside her, "Shouyi, let's go!" In this capital, their Jin family still has some connections. If the Lin family wants to make trouble, they will accompany them to the end.
"Don't go!" The Lin family stopped the Jin family mother and son.
Jin Mu's face darkened even more as she threatened in a cold voice, "If you continue to act unreasonably, don't blame me for being rude."
"You're really going too far! Lin Muzhu is dead, and you're not helping with her funeral arrangements, yet you're still arguing here." Han Bing, unable to bear it any longer, rushed out from the crowd of onlookers. She had been there for a long time, and she had heard everything the two families said clearly. She couldn't understand how such a family could exist in the world.
The Jin family mother and son and the Lin family members all turned their eyes to Han Bing.
"It's you." When Jin Shouyi saw Han Bing, he recognized her as the person who took in Lin Muzhu last time.
"So what if it's me? I'm Lin Muzhu's friend. If she dies, I have to seek justice for her." Han Bing glared at Jin Shouyi angrily. Lin Muzhu must have been driven to this desperate situation by this man.
Old Lady Jin sneered, "What a joke! Lin Muzhu's parents and husband's families are all here. How can you, an outsider, get involved? Go wherever it's cool."
"I'm determined to take care of this matter. I'll get to the bottom of it and won't let Lin Muzhu die in vain," Han Bing said firmly. She was stubborn to begin with, and once she made a decision, she wouldn't change it.
"Little girl, this is a family affair between the Lin and Jin families. As an outsider, it's best not to interfere," Lin Muzhu's sister-in-law said. Their ultimate goal in holding the Jin family accountable was money. Lin Muzhu was already dead, and seeking justice wouldn't bring him back. Money was more practical than that.
Han Bing's face turned red with anger, "Anyway, I won't let Lin Muzhu die in vain." How could Lin Muzhu have such a family.
Su Jinyue walked forward, patted Han Bing's shoulder gently, and pulled her aside, "Let's not interfere for now." Lin Muzhu's sister-in-law was right, this was a family affair between their two families.
"But Lin Muzhu is so pitiful." Han Bing said sadly. She really wanted to seek justice for Lin Muzhu and make Jin Shouyi, who forced Lin Muzhu to death, go to jail.
