That's because she knew Li Ci wouldn't live much longer, so saying nice things wouldn't hurt.
The idea of repaying evil with kindness was not in her vocabulary.
If she forgives her, it would be cruel to Baichuan; she will remember the insults Baichuan hurled at her for the rest of her life.
She touched the baby in her belly and thought, "Let her die in Beijing, as a good deed."
"Alright, Su girl, Grandpa doesn't ask you to forgive her. I myself haven't forgiven her yet, let alone you."
“But the Li family members can’t just die out there without knowing why. Qi Feng, go and make arrangements to bring them back.”
"There's still something to investigate in between, why she went mad." If the old marshal had been a little dazed just now, he became much more determined after hearing Suti's words.
He couldn't show the slightest bit of leniency, otherwise he would be breaking the hearts of these two wonderful children.
That path was chosen by Li Ci herself; she abandoned her own child for the sake of her enemy's child.
She abandoned her husband, and even her elderly father. Now that he has brought her back, it can be considered that he has fulfilled the last bit of father-daughter affection.
Qi Feng nodded silently after hearing his father's words. It seemed that Li Ci had disappeared from his life.
Qi Feng sighed deeply, unsure whether to pity her or say she deserved it.
Su Ti and Li Baichuan didn't go back; they stayed to keep the old marshal company. The old marshal was getting old, and they were worried about him.
Su Ti and Li Baichuan originally wanted to take leave to be with the old man, but he refused no matter what.
He appeared nonchalant, but the weariness in his eyes made them all hesitant to argue with him.
Li Ci returned quickly, and on the third day, he was carried into the military compound.
His hands and feet were bound, his clothes were tattered, and his body was covered in wounds of varying depths, not a single patch of undamaged flesh.
His face was filthy, and he was unrecognizable. He was so thin that he looked like nothing but skin and bones.
"Marshal, she's been quite agitated the whole way. The accompanying doctor gave her some medicine, and she probably won't wake up for a while. The doctor is right at the door, in case she wakes up and hurts someone."
When Xiao Liu arrived with a doctor and several guards to pick up the person, he was stunned when he saw him.
They brought her back after conducting an investigation. On the way, the group of men almost couldn't subdue her; she was like a mad dog, with extraordinary strength.
Fearing she might hurt someone, the doctor had no choice but to give her the medication.
"She...she..." The old marshal had a lot of questions to ask, but seeing the person like this, he swallowed and couldn't ask anything.
"Old Marshal, I have investigated the matter thoroughly. The Wei family was involved. The reason was... because Wei Ci couldn't come up with the money."
Looking at the old marshal, Xiao Liu didn't know how to address him. Back then, when the old marshal sent her to the countryside, he had removed her surname.
After she settled in Yangliu Brigade, she changed her name to Wei Ci. When he went to apply for his medical retirement certificate, it was also under the name Wei Ci.
He muttered the name to himself, and seeing that the old marshal's expression did not change, he continued speaking.
"The Wei family was ostracized in the countryside and relied on Wei Ci for support, but her meager savings couldn't last long."
"In addition, Wei Bowen was later cheated and incurred debts, so the Wei family wanted to separate from them."
"The Wei family's house was divided once when Wei Ci still had some money, because Wei Bowen was also given a room because of the money."
"They all knew that if they were kicked out, they would have nowhere to live, so they refused to leave and stayed at the Wei family's house."
“The Wei family members are not good people. They often resort to violence and the whole family gangs up on Wei Bowen and Wei Ci.”
"They thought Wei Ci must still have money and valuables hidden in her possession, or they wanted her to beg you for help, so they tortured her relentlessly."
"In order to avoid being beaten, Wei Bowen joined the others in beating her, but for some reason, Wei Ci refused to give in no matter what."
"Even the Wei family doesn't know exactly when she went mad. They say she's always been cursing and swearing like this, and they had no idea she'd gone insane."
"It's because the Wei family members haven't been working, so they've run out of food and have resorted to petty theft, stealing from other people's homes."
"Everyone in the brigade had a lot of complaints. In the end, the brigade leader led his men to try to kick them out, only to find that Wei Ci had gone mad."
Xiao Liu spoke very quickly, recounting everything he had investigated, and only stopped talking after confirming that nothing had been missed.
The room was very quiet. The person lying on the ground had their chest rising and falling slightly, as if they might pass away at any moment.
Su Ti knew that Li Ci's current state was definitely Su Nianyou's idea; she thought Li Ci would be unable to hold on and would ask the old marshal for help.
But she would rather drive herself crazy than give in. I don't know whether to call her courageous or stupid.
Her mind is different from ordinary people; she can be stubborn when she should compromise, but when she should be assertive, her mind is as if it's been smeared with shit.
"Where are the Wei family members?" The old marshal's voice was very calm.
"Except for Wei Bowen, who escaped, everyone else was arrested." Xiao Liu didn't want to think about that family anymore.
The old and the young are all like ghosts, tormenting each other. The women are not like women, and the men are even less like men.
He felt that not only Wei Ci had gone mad, but the entire Wei family had gone mad.
"Wei Bowen ran away?" The old marshal looked over, and only then could one see the bloodshot in his eyes.
"When the brigade leader discovered that Wei Ci had gone mad, he ran away. He didn't have a letter of introduction, and nobody knew where he went."
At that time, the captain immediately reported to the police and tried to send them a message. Of course, the message was able to be sent because the old marshal had someone stay there.
No one knows when Wei Bowen ran away. Without an intermediary, he couldn't buy a train ticket or stay in a guesthouse, so he could only live as a vagrant.
"Find them. I think those people from the Wei family must have gone mad too." The old marshal seemed to squeeze out these extremely hoarse words from his throat.
Xiao Liu nodded. He understood. Wei Ci probably wouldn't live much longer, and the rest of the Wei family would be nearing their end as well.
However, he felt that those people were already almost insane without them even having to lift a finger.
As for Wei Bowen, he could always be found if one put their mind to it. Thinking of this, Xiao Liu shook his head. He had already given him a way out.
If he could pretend for the rest of his life and live a good life with Wei Ci in the countryside, he could live a peaceful life.
And then there's Wei Ci, who has now paid the price for her choice, but no matter how much hatred she harbors, she can't bring herself to say it now that she sees people like this.
The room was so quiet that there was no sound other than breathing.
When the person on the ground moved their hand, as if about to wake up, everyone looked over.
