Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Did someone target the children who attended school and passed by the winery?”

Ji Shuisheng could not understand either. They did not pass by the winery on the way to the school. That place was still a little remote.

Su Qing frowned and pondered. She raised her head and asked Ji Shuisheng,

“Could she have been called over by someone she knew?”

“Is that possible?”

Ji Shuisheng nodded.

“However, Godmother is friendly and has never made enemies with others. It’s a little unreasonable for someone to deliberately ask her to go to the winery to kill her.”

Su Qing was upset. Shuisheng was right. Godmother had such a good personality. She was always smiling when she talked to anyone. Besides going to school to care for the children, she usually did housework at home. She rarely interacted with others. How could she offend anyone? To the point where he had to kill her?

“Could it be that Godmother discovered a spy and was silenced by the spy?”

Ji Shuisheng thought of a more likely reason. The spy killed Godmother in order not to be exposed.

“Yong Kang said that there have been three similar murders in the city, so the possibility of robbery is the highest.”

Su Qing’s eyes turned sharp—no wonder the other cities did not allow refugees to enter the city. People would take risks to survive. They would do anything and lose their humanity.

“I neglected this point in the past. We should concentrate on managing the refugees and send people to guard them. We should give them food to survive so they won’t starve to death. This is to ensure the safety of Mo City.”

Ji Shuisheng thought about it bitterly and felt that he had been too careless in the past. He had been soft-hearted and let the refugees in but did not guard them strictly, causing his godmother to die.

“When we left, Godmother even told Zhong Yong that she wanted to surprise him. I didn’t expect her to say goodbye forever.”

Su Qing felt terrible. Thinking about how her godmother woke up early to make delicious food for them and even sent them to the door, Su Qing’s reluctant gaze was imprinted, and she could not shake it away.

“Surprise? What will be the surprise for Zhong Yong?”

Ji Shuisheng was extremely confused when he heard Su Qing’s words. Su Qing shook her head.

“I don’t know either. I just felt that Godmother was smiling very happily at that time.”

“Will he marry Zhong Yong off?”

Ji Shuisheng felt this was the only thing that would make Godmother happy.

“It’s very likely that Godmother went to buy a gift for Zhong Yong’s marriage proposal. Someone noticed her and killed Godmother to steal money.”

When Su Qing heard Ji Shuisheng’s words, it was as if she was enlightened. Godmother did not wear silk or gold, or silver jewellery. Those who wanted to rob her would only target the rich. She must have been found with money and killed.”

“AskXiaoying to go home and take a look.”

When Ji Shuisheng heard Su Qing’s words, he felt this was the most likely possibility. He quickened his pace and walked towards the mortuary.

Because Xiaoying had been living with her godmother, she should know where her godmother kept the money. She wanted Xiaoying to go home and see if her godmother’s money was still there.

When Ji Shuisheng and Su Qing returned to the mortuary, they heard Zhong Yong’s heart-wrenching cries for his mother outside the door. Their hearts were as heavy as lead.

“Zhong Yong, don’t be sad.”

Ji Shuisheng patted his good brother’s shoulder to comfort him. It was useless to say anything to comfort him now. Who could return his mother to Zhong Yong?

His good brother, who used to laugh foolishly, cried helplessly like a child.

“Big brother, Yong’er has no mother.”

Zhong Yong, who was as big as a man, lay on Ji Shuisheng’s shoulder and wailed.

“Zhong Yong, it’s useless to cry now. We have to investigate who killed Godmother.”

Ji Shuisheng patted Zhong Yong’s shoulder lightly, and his eyes emitted threatening killing intent. He must personally slaughter the bastard who killed his godmother.

“If you discover who killed my mother, I’ll smash him into eight pieces.”

Zhong Yong gritted his teeth in hatred, his eyes bloodshot.

“Leave this matter to us. We will find out who killed Godmother.”

Su Qing promised her disciple that she would kill the person who killed her godmother, skin him alive, pull out his tendons, and grind his bones into ashes.

“Xiaoying, come home with me.”

Su Qing saw Xiao Ying kneeling before her godmother’s coffin and sobbing. She walked over and pulled Xiaoying up.

“I’m not going back. I want to stay here with Godmother.”

Ji Xiaoying knelt beside the coffin and refused to leave. She regretted going to Tartan for fun. She would not have died if she had stayed at home with her godmother.

“Come back with me to see if Godmother has saved enough money.”

Su Qing held Xiaoying’s hand and looked at her tearful face. She felt her hands turn cold. Xiaoying had never had a mother since she was young. Her godmother had made up for Xiaoying’s lack of motherly love. She treated her godmother as her mother. If she suddenly lost her godmother, she would naturally be in pain.

“Money?”

Xiaoying cried and shook her head. Godmother was dead; what was the use of money?

“We have to confirm who killed Godmother. Why did he kill her?”

Su Qing saw that Xiaoying had misunderstood, so she explained to her in a low voice.

“Is it for money?”

Xiaoying understood and wiped her tears as she asked Su Qing. Zhong Yong, who was at the side, heard her and roared like a wolf, “Which bastard killed my mother for money? I want to break his bones.”

“We can’t be sure yet. We have to investigate.”

Su Qing felt that Zhong Yong was in a dangerous state. He couldn’t be involved in the investigation and had to stay at the mortuary to accompany his godmother.

“You should be filial to Godmother.”

“Shuisheng, Zhong Yong.”

Qiu Yongkang walked into the mortuary with a parcel and a bag.

“My mother and a few aunts helped to make a few sets of mourning clothes and hats.”

Qiu Yongkang passed the parcel to Ji Shuisheng and the bag to him.”

“These are all Underworld Coins and Gold Foil. Li Daniu and I have been watching for the whole night and burned many of them. 1 don’t know if Godmother will be able to receive the Underworld Coins we burned.”

It could be said that Qiu Yongkang was very thoughtful. Everything that needed to be prepared had been prepared so that Ji Shuisheng and the others would not be in a rush.

“Thank you, Yongkang.”

Ji Shuisheng patted Yong Kang’s shoulder.

“Zhong Yong, my condolences.”

Qiu Yongkang walked up to Zhong Yong and said sadly.

“Mother…”

Zhong Yong was not in the mood to talk to him. He lay on his mother’s coffin and wailed. His heart-wrenching cries were as lonely as the howls of wolves.

“Zhong Yong put on your clothes.”

Ji Shuisheng opened the package that Qiu Yongkang had brought and took out the mourning clothes for Zhong Yong. He also put on a set for himself. He wanted to wear mourning clothes for his godmother.

Qiu Yongkang was very attentive. Not only did he prepare two sets of mourning clothes, but he also prepared Xiaoying and Su Qing’s. There were also a few sets for him, Li Daniu and Jiang Laoqi. He was Zhong Yong’s good brother, so he helped Zhong Yong wear mourning clothes to show brotherhood.

“Xiaoying, don’t be sad.”

Seeing Xiaoying’s eyes swollen from crying, Qiu Yongkang comforted her.

“Brother Yongkang, who killed my godmother? How could he be so bad?”

Xiaoying saw Qiu Yongkang crying and asked him. Yong Kang shook his head sadly,”

“I don’t know.”

“Xiaoying, let’s go.”

Su Qing was anxious to discover the truth and pulled Ji Xiaoying out.

“Where are you guys going?”

Seeing that they were leaving, Qiu Yongkang asked Xiaoying why they were going when everyone was watching over the coffin..
