Chapter 184: Jerk
Xie Qiao felt sympathy for the Wei parents when she saw their expressions and inwardly sighed.
It was the saddest thing in the world when a child died before their parents. It was even worse now that they found out their child had not died completely of sickness.
Since Xie Qiao was a priest, the Wei parents did not think it was bizarre to communicate with the dead.
They had heard that there were hidden sages in the world who could communicate with the dead.
Xie Qiao stretched her hand and performed divination. “Young Lady Wei died of… anger. If you guys would like to know who that lady is… Head west at noon. Turn left at the third alley when you get to West Sparrow Street. Walk 200 steps, and your doubt might be solved by then.”
Ms. Wei was not very smart. She had only found out that her husband had a mistress.
Although she knew who the person was, she indeed had no idea when and where they would meet.
She had just been hovering around in a blur after death. She had only snapped back to her senses when she heard the bell ringing beneath Xie Qiao’s signboard. Only then she knew what she should do.
The couple looked at each other—they had heavy looks on their faces.
When it was close to noon, they departed per Xie Qiao’s instructions. They walked to West Sparrow Street, found an alley, and stopped in front of a courtyard. Just when they entered the courtyard, they happened to hear giggles inside.
Those voices… were very familiar.
Madam Wei was more impulsive and rushed in immediately.
As expected, a man and a lady were hugging in the courtyard.
The man was none other than the son-in-law that she took good care of.
Meanwhile, the lady… was someone they were familiar with too!
That lady and her mother did laundry for the Wei family all year round. They did a great job, so Madam Wei would pay them more. She was generous to the mother and daughter. Although it was not a big favor, it was… pretty good!?
Although she did not expect them to pay her back, she had never expected her to do something like that!
The funny thing was she had just met He Xiu yesterday. She was so kind that she had said she would introduce her to a nice man!
Madam Wei felt heartbroken now that she thought about how much her daughter had gone through.
She rushed forward and barked, “You shameless b*stards! I thought you guys were nice people! I can’t believe you guys have been together all this time! Zheng Lusheng, you jerk! My daughter married you, and you tortured her like this!? Her body was weak. You could just say that you didn’t want her. Nobody forced you to marry her! Now you’ve killed her, you killed her by infuriating her! I’m going to kill you!”
Madam Wei carried the broom aside as soon as she was done speaking. She charged with her arms lifted.
Zheng Lusheng was scared.
Just when he was going to explain, the broom came.
Out of nowhere, he was hit a couple of times.
The neighbors in the alley came after hearing the major commotion.
Madam Wei began to wail while sitting on the ground after hitting him a couple of times. “My poor daughter! Oh, you died of such injustice! It was my fault for having picked someone like this for you. I thought it’s better to arrange the marriage with your childhood sweetheart when you guys were young. I can’t believe he has a mistress outside! Zheng Lusheng, you shameless pig. Didn’t my Wei family treat you well? Back then, your family was just a mediocre family. We helped your parents with the wax business. Now that you’re wealthy, you did this to my daughter!?”
Madam Wei looked pitiful when she was crying.
Zheng Lusheng panicked. “Mother-in-law, this is a misunderstanding. I didn’t do anything bad. She only came after Bao’er died—”
“After Bao’er died!? Sure! Now that the neighbors are here, I’ll ask them how long you guys have been living here!” Madam Wei was not a fool.
Zheng Lusheng’s expression changed as soon as he heard that.
