Especially the horsewhip that Song Li was gently swaying in her hand at this moment, it seemed like a venomous snake that was constantly flicking its tongue.
Master Xue recalled the attendants he had brought back from Qili County a year ago, as well as the several officials arrested by the Songfeng County government. His legs went weak, and he knelt down with a thud: "Miss Song, I... I am Xue Rengui. I was deceived by Song Defu before, which is why I acted disrespectfully towards you."
He only regretted that his parents hadn't been more careful. How could they have listened to Song Lao Er's nonsense and wanted to buy Song Liyun? Later, they were so bewitched that they even wanted to take the indenture to Qili County to make some money.
As a result, they neither received the money nor returned, and instead brought trouble upon themselves.
He knew why those officials in Songfeng County had been arrested. He was so frightened during that time that he couldn't sleep at night and used many connections to inquire about the situation.
If Song Liyun were to pursue this matter further, my old bones would probably be torn apart.
When Song Liyun first saw him, she didn't recognize him.
However, seeing Song Zhenping's unwell expression and hearing him say his name was "Xue Rengui," he remembered who he was and chuckled, "So you're Master Xue? How's my cousin doing? Has she given your family any children?"
At the beginning of the year, Song Shuirong offended Song Zhenping by acting unruly and was taken away from Xiaoshi Village. She was then sent back to the Xue family's abandoned old house and has not been seen since.
Song Zhenping was unaware of the details and only assumed that Master Xue had taken him home and kept him under guard.
Song Liyun was completely unaware that this was just a casual question, since Song Shuirong was the only person from the second branch of the Song family who could still move around freely.
When Master Xue heard Song Liyun ask about the woman who was locked up in the old house and was half-mad, his heart skipped a beat: Could it be that Miss Song and her sister still have feelings for each other? She only returned today and the first thing she asked about was Song Shuirong?
No, we can't let the Song family know the truth about that place.
For the past few months, Song Zhenping has completely ignored him and hasn't mentioned Song Shuirong at all.
Unexpectedly, Song Liyun wanted to acknowledge her family... As long as the Song family knows that she has a younger sister, it's not too late.
Master Xue felt much more at ease. He didn't need Song Liyun to help him up; he rubbed his legs and stood up with the help of his attendants.
He forced a smile onto his dry face: "Some time ago, my wife saw that my elder brother was unwilling to acknowledge his relatives, so she fell seriously ill after returning home. She kept saying that her parents and grandmother had wronged you."
She has no appetite and refuses to take any medicine, and her health is still not better.
If my eldest sister can't bear to see her like this, I'll humbly invite my cousin to our home to comfort Shui Rong!
