Once a person breaks down, they will answer any question.
The rest of the process was easy, but to Wei Wei's surprise, the two people were indeed relatives of the old lady.
He's not as close as a biological brother, but he's still a distant cousin, though separated by several generations.
They didn't know each other when the old lady was alive, but they became connected after she died.
"Young Madam, we had no choice. Those people found us. If we hadn't come, we wouldn't be alive today."
Ma Bao tearfully recounted his grievances.
If it weren't for the guilty and flustered look in Madam Hu's eyes constantly darting around, she might have believed what they said.
"You really aren't lying to me?"
She asked.
Ma Bao swore to the heavens: "If I have lied, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
Wei Wei suddenly slammed her hand on the table, her voice as cold as ice: "Since that's how it is, then I'll grant your wish and kill you all!"
Seeing Leng Pusheng approach again with the knife in his hand, the two men were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground.
All hope was gone; he knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy: "I'll talk... I'll talk..."
It turns out that this Hu woman was the wife of the old lady's distant cousin, but Ma Bao was not the old lady's distant cousin.
It was her lover.
The real Ma Bao was killed the night before those people invited them to act!
No wonder these two were so hesitant and refused to tell the truth; it turns out they were carrying a murder charge against them!
Wei Wei didn't want to waste any more words with them. Her dark eyes were filled with coldness: "What else did those people say to you besides wanting to control the Meng family?"
The man pretending to be Ma Bao cried, "It's gone! It's really gone!"
"That's all they asked for! Really!"
Wei Wei was somewhat disappointed, but it was within her expectations.
These two despicable individuals are nothing more than sent here to annoy me.
It can also be discarded at any time.
She got up and left. Before leaving, she looked at Leng Pusheng again, her voice devoid of any emotion: "None of them are good people, but they're not that bad either."
"Give me a complete corpse."
His figure gradually disappeared into the distance, leaving behind two people who were destined not to see the sun rise tomorrow morning.
——
The day of Master Meng and Madam Meng's funeral was rather gloomy.
The funeral procession was long, but none of the three surviving male members of the family attended.
They will either be imprisoned, faint, or taken away.
He never even showed his face.
The position of filial son can only be reluctantly filled by the children of relatives.
For this, Wei Wei even had to spend an extra sum of money.
Looking at the man walking at the front, wailing with a dry throat, it was both laughable and pathetic.
The long white cloth spun around in the wind.
The other mourners were also very enthusiastic in their wailing, and the scene was quite lively.
As they walked out of the city, a woman who was covered in grime and whose clothes were of indistinguishable color came back.
The autumn wind was chilly, already carrying a hint of cold.
Wei Wei stared blankly for a moment as she looked at the stumbling woman.
Her body was so thin it was almost deformed, and her clothes were empty underneath.
Her messy hair had clumped together.
It's impossible to tell how stunning this woman used to be.
She stumbled along the road until the two sides drew closer and closer, until she was right next to everyone.
Her gaze was blank, staring straight ahead, and she didn't recognize anyone.
"It's Madam!"
A servant called out in a low voice.
At this moment, Wei Wei reached out and grabbed the sleeve of the woman who had already approached.
They grabbed nothing!
Wei Wei raised an eyebrow, and without thinking of anything else, immediately let go of this hand and grabbed her other hand.
Good, this one is still growing on top.
"Mother."
Her voice was gentle and joyful: "You've finally decided to come back."
Madam Meng was a beat slow to react, but the look in her eyes when she looked at Wei Wei remained completely unfamiliar.
Several people had already gathered around, with all sorts of expressions on their faces.
"Madam, it really is you...you're back..."
Among them, the old woman in her courtyard was already crying tears of joy.
His exaggerated expression made it seem as if he had seen countless gleaming silver coins.
Madam Meng stared at her for a while before belatedly calling out, "Granny Zhang?"
That's truly rare.
He didn't recognize his own daughter-in-law, but he did recognize a servant.
Everyone's expressions inevitably looked a little strange.
"It's this old servant! It's this old servant!" Granny Zhang was extremely excited, not expecting that Madam Meng, who didn't recognize anyone else, only knew her. She immediately squeezed to the front to express her loyalty: "Madam, where have you been these past few days? How have you been? This old woman was so worried about you!"
Upon hearing the question of where she had gone, Madam Meng's eyes flashed with terror. She instinctively took several steps back and turned to flee!
No matter how excited she was, it was no use; Wei Wei held her hand tightly and wouldn't let go.
Her expression was inscrutable, and the smile at the corner of her mouth made it impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.
"Don't worry, Mother, it's safe here."
She comforted her, saying, "You can't go anywhere. We still need you here!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes welled up with tears.
The old woman wiped away her tears and said, "The master has passed away, and the old lady has also passed away. You've come back just in time to see them off."
