Chapter 73 Finding the Cause of Death

Song Wanwan wiped her tears, looked at Song Jiuxi, and raised the corners of her mouth silently.

Then she affectionately pulled Song Ruoyu to the front of the mourning hall and said, "Ruoyu, what grandma wants to see most before she leaves is you. Grandma will be happiest when you come back."

Song Ruoyu stared blankly at the black coffin placed on the mourning hall. His expression suddenly collapsed, and he knelt down suddenly, knocking his knees to the ground with a "thud" sound.

Hot tears welled up in Song Ruoyu's eyes, her body fell on the ground, and her shoulders trembled.

If anyone in the Marquis of Changping's residence treats him best, it must be his grandmother.

Even though my grandmother was stubborn and biased, and the sisters in the house suffered from her, her biased heart was all focused on him.

He has been favored by his grandmother since he was a child. Others may blame his grandmother, but he only has deep love for her.

Song Ruoyu burst into tears. Although he looked like an adult at the age of ten, he had obviously not experienced a farewell.

Song Wanwan stayed with him and comforted him all the time. The two siblings cried so sadly that the whole mourning hall couldn't help but blush.

"The young master of the Song family rushed back from Hanshan Academy overnight. I heard that two of his horses were run away. This filial piety is commendable."

"Yes, Young Master Song is now accepted as a student by Zhang Shoufu, and his future is bright."

"Young Master Song and Second Miss Song are completely devoted to the old lady. How come Miss Song didn't even shed a single tear?"

"You don't know this. Song Jiuxi has been unruly and willful since she was a child. Not only does she despise dignity, but now she is so disrespectful to her elders in the mourning hall... She is so different from Second Miss Song."

"I heard that she used to bully her brothers and sisters in the house. No wonder even her own brother hates her..."

"Have you said enough?!" Lin Anyan listened to the nonsense of these people in his ears, and there was a fire burning in his chest.

He couldn't help but said angrily: "Song Jiuxi is not the person you say she is, she is many, many times better than you think!"

Lin Anyan's voice suddenly sounded in the solemn and heavy mourning hall. He clenched his fists and glared angrily at the few people who had been secretly talking about Song Jiuxi.

When he realized that others were looking at him, he suppressed his anger and looked at Song Jiuxi involuntarily. But Song Jiuxi did not look back at him even after hearing his words.

His eyes were filled with sadness. Chang Pingbo suddenly pulled him back and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing? Is your brain broken? What can you say to Song Jiuxi?!"

"Dad, I'm telling the truth..."

"Lin Anyan, please think clearly. The one you want to marry is Song Wanwan. Don't embarrass me again!"

Lin Anyan remained silent and did not speak. Chang Pingbo glared at him fiercely and then pulled him behind to avoid causing trouble again.

Although Song Wenzhi did not make much achievements in the court, he still had a certain weight in the hearts of Dayan literati because he composed poems and articles all year round. So all day long, literati and poets came to worship, and His Highness the Prince heard that he also came to worship in the evening.

Already.

But he seemed very busy and left after saying a few words of relief to Song Wenzhi.

Not long after His Royal Highness the Crown Prince left, suddenly Dongxia screamed: "Miss!"

When everyone who had been crying all day came to their senses, they saw Song Wanwan fainting. Song Ruoyu hurriedly rushed over, looking extremely worried. "Second sister, second sister, are you okay?"

Dongxia said with tears in her eyes: "Miss was so sad that she fainted."

"Please call the doctor quickly," Song Wenzhi said.

A group of people hurriedly sent Song Wanwan back to the house, called a doctor and gave her medicine. The family struggled for half the night, but Song Wanwan didn't wake up.

In the mourning hall, only Song Jiuxi and Song Yike, the concubine from the second room, were still kneeling. The others were surrounding Song Wanwan in the yard.

Probably if Song Wanwan didn't wake up, they would stay with him all night.

Aunt Qing walked into the mourning hall and asked in a low voice: "Miss, you haven't eaten anything today, why don't you eat something now?"

"Yeah." Song Jiuxi nodded.

Because there was a funeral in the house, some coarse food was prepared. Song Jiuxi had no appetite before, so he could only eat two bites now.

Song Yike's legs hurt when she knelt down. She rubbed her knees and looked at Song Jiuxi. Song Jiuxi always knelt upright, and even when he was eating steamed buns, he didn't show any complaint on his face.

Song Yike couldn't help but said: "Song Jiuxi, are you really going to kneel for three days?"

Song Jiuxi ignored her with an indifferent expression. Song Yike gritted her teeth and said, "Do you think Song Wanwan really fainted? She was just pretending and didn't want to kneel down, so she fainted."

Song Jiuxi ate a steamed bun to cushion her stomach and stopped eating. She wiped her hands and said calmly: "You can also imitate her now."

Song Yike snorted coldly. She thought, but there were only her and Song Jiuxi here. If she fainted, Song Jiuxi would never care about her.

And if everyone is not here, no one will show her fainting.

Seeing Song Jiuxi's expression remained unchanged, Song Yike felt even more unsatisfied.

Although she was the concubine of the second wife and had not been valued since she was a child, she gained some status in the house because of her relationship with Song Wanwan, and her life with her aunt was much easier.

But since she was knocked unconscious by Song Jiuxi last time, which ruined Song Wanwan's plan to slander Song Jiuxi, Song Wanwan has made things difficult for her in every way since then, and she has returned to the days of being bullied.

She lived like this, but Song Jiuxi, who had a worse life than her before, was so calm.

Wouldn't Song Jiuxi be unwilling to give in?

Wouldn't Song Jiuxi be as resentful as her?

Why could Song Jiuxi not care so much?

Song Yike said angrily: "Your brother is back now, but he still doesn't recognize you as his sister. Song Jiuxi, don't you hate it when you see Song Ruoyu following Song Wanwan, screaming like sister, sister, sister?"

Song Jiuxi looked at her intently with a cold face.

Song Yike sneered, "Hahaha, you are actually just like me, very pitiful. There is no place for you and me in this mansion. Song Wanwan is the eldest lady in this mansion."

Song Jiuxi said calmly: "This is the mourning hall. If you have any dissatisfaction, go to Song Wanwan and tell him, don't disturb the souls of the dead here."

"Song Jiuxi, stop pretending. Aren't you happy that this old woman is dead? Is there anyone in this house who is really sad? I see, the happiest thing is Song Wanwan. Once the old woman dies, she will stay for three years.

At this young age, there is no need to marry Lin Anyan right away..."

Song Jiuxi's eyes flashed and she asked, "How did my grandmother die?"

"How do I know? She was fine and suddenly became seriously ill." Song Yike couldn't help but speculate viciously, "Maybe my grandmother will die because Song Wanwan did it."

Song Jiuxi suddenly shouted: "Fang Long."

Fang Long rushed in from outside the house and knelt on one knee behind Song Jiuxi. "Master, what's the matter?"

Song Jiuxi looked at the dark coffin with cold eyes: "Go and find out how my grandmother died and find out if it has anything to do with Song Wanwan."

Fang Long was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes."

Song Yike's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly: "It would be fun if Song Wanwan moved his hands, hahaha."

At this time, Song Ruoyu walked in, his still immature face showing deep exhaustion. He walked to the front and lifted his robe and knelt down.

Song Yike looked at Song Ruoyu and couldn't help but said: "Ruoyu, do you know how your grandmother died? Song Jiuxi went to check on Song Wanwan, maybe it was Song Wanwan who did it..."

"Stop!" Song Ruoyu shouted, his angry eyes swept towards Song Yike and then turned to Song Jiuxi. "Second sister is not such a person, don't let me hear you slandering second sister behind her back again."
