Chapter 17: Perfect Crime

Qi yiniang’s illness was severe because she started coughing violently after a few simple words.

Li Wei Yang walked over and tightly held on to her hands. “Mom.”

Including the first lifetime and this lifetime, this was the first time she ever called Qi yiniang “mom”. It made Wei Yang both nervous and scared. She had been too calm before. If Da furen had decided to push for the murder to happen an hour earlier, there was a chance she would never be able to see her birth mother again.

The servant girl named Cui’er, despite being very frightened, she was not stupid either. Knowing the dire situation at hand, she immediately went out to look for a bag. Afterwards, along with Bai Zhi’s help, the two of them shoved Zhao mumu’s corpse into the bag and put in heavy rocks as well. Unfortunately, Zhao mumu was too heavy, not to mention the addition of the rocks’ weight, the two girls wasn’t able to lift the bag. Seeing this, Li Wei Yang decided to help the two girls lift the bag. It took a lot of energy, to the point of exhaustion, for all three of them to toss the heavy bag into the pond behind the windows. Upon hearing the big splash made by the bag, the three of them exchanged a look and sighed in relief.

“Be thorough about cleaning the blood stains in the room. Even that bowl of soup, take it all away. Your actions must be quick and efficient. Don’t let others notice,” Li Wei Yang instructed matter-of-factly.

Sitting on the side and watching, Qi yiniang slightly trembled. She would have never expected Wei Yang to save her at the critical moment. Not to mention, she was very decisive in her actions.

After everything was done, Qi yiniang held tightly on to Wei Yang’s hands. “Child, hurry and return to your chamber. Don’t stay here any longer, lest you get pulled into trouble as well.”

Looking at Qi yiniang’s face, Li Wei Yang stubbornly shook her head. “No, Wei Yang won’t go. Wei Yang wants to stay with mom.”

“Zhao mumu is Da furen’s people—” Qi yiniang suddenly coughed again.

Wei Yang scooted closer and gently smoothed her back. In a gentle voice, she said, “Mom, you mustn’t worry about Da furen or how she’s going to trouble me. I have my ways to deal with her.”

Qi yiniang shook her head. “No, Da furen isn’t someone you can easily deal with.”

Li Wei Yang nodded and caressed Qi yiniang’s face. She noticed Qi yiniang’s forehead was burning hot. She turned to Cui’er. “How is my mom’s illness?”

Cui’er’s eyes were wet but Qi yiniang was looking at her with a look that said to not say anything. In the end, Cui’er couldn’t keep it in any longer. “San xiaojie, Qi yiniang’s life has been difficult. At first it was only a cold but no one allowed her to see a doctor. Not to mention, the food had been halved. Without the needed care, yiniang’s health has become worse over time.”

Li Wei Yang pulled out five silvers and shoved it underneath Qi yiniang’s pillow. “Mom, take this. Let Cui’er turn it into smaller coins and use it to go out and buy medicine.”

Without thinking, Qi yiniang immediately refused. “No, it should be me who should be supporting you. How can I take your money?” After saying so, she took off the jade bangle on her wrist and gave it to Wei Yang.

Even if a person was made out of steel, they could nevertheless tell who was genuine to them. In Qi yiniang’s eyes, there was only care and affection that came from deep within the heart.

Wei Yang’s eyes began to burn as she shook her head. “Mom, lao furen really likes me. All of these silvers were given to me by lao furen. I’m living very well so you don’t have to worry.”
