Jiang Yao had a bad feeling when she heard Madam Chai say that, especially when she saw Mr and Mrs Zhouâs sorrowful eyes. However, she knew that Madam Chai did not pick her words carelessly.
Therefore, Jiang Yao quickly interrupted Madam Chaiâs words with a hint of impatience. âMadam Chai, you said that you wanted to resolve this matter. I am not here to listen to any superstitions in Yuan City. A life for a life. Madam Chai, you are not a child, so I donât need to tell you that Xiaocheng did not commit suicideâshe was killed. I donât know if you have anything to do with it, but I am sure it has everything to do with Chai Xianglong and the doctors at that hospital. These people are the criminals who killed Zhou Xiaocheng. So, if you want to discuss it, then let them surrender to the police.â
âIt seems like Young Madam Lu is really humorous. Zhou Xiaocheng is dead because she committed suicide. Why would that have anything to do with doctors? Even if you are Third Young Master Luâs wife, it doesnât mean that you can go around accusing someone without any proof, right?â Madam Chai smiled forcefully.
Then, she chuckled and continued to speak with the Zhou family. âEven though Zhou Xiaocheng is dead, she can still be our daughter-in-law if you are willing for that to happen. My sonâs second wife will pay respect to her when they get married. And when their children grow up, they will also continue to burn incense to pay their respect to Xiaocheng. Of course, I understand if you donât want to do that. After all, Xianglong had wronged her. I can find a medium for Zhou Xiaocheng and also a good-looking husband with a good family background so that they can get married in the underworld. We can raise a child on their behalf, and the child can address them as Mom and Dad.â
Madam Chai looked at Mr and Mrs Zhou to gauge if they would agree to her suggestion. She said, âI heard the news mentioned that a 19-year-old boy died in an accident about a month ago. He was a university student, and he looked like Zhou Zheng. When he was alive, he had a good temper, was filial and well-behaved. At a glance, he looked like a person who would dote on others. He seemed like a perfect match for Zhou Xiaocheng. That boyâs family is quite well-off. The boyâs parents adopted a child from a relativeâs family for their son. Therefore, Zhou Xiaocheng can go with him. You donât have to worry about her being a wandering ghost.â
âAs parents, you have to think about your children. Zhou Xiaocheng is already dead, but you still have a son and a daughter. You canât ignore them because of your dead daughter. You have to worry about their future. If you insist on making a fuss, Iâm sure you know that your family has no money and canât afford to waste any more time. It will only bring disaster to your two remaining children.â Madam Chaiâs tone became colder. Then, she took her teacup and drank from it. She wanted the Zhou family to think about her words.
Zhou Xiaoxia shook her fatherâs arm gently. âDad, donât listen to her nonsense. Iâm not afraid! In any case, we canât let my sister die in vain. Those who wronged her must pay the price!â
âEldest Sister is right! If youâre worried about Second Sisterâs burial plot, then weâll just bury her in our familyâs ancestral grave. Iâm the only son in our family, and Iâll agree to that. When I get married and have children, I will tell my children to burn joss sticks and paper money for her!â Zhou Xiaoguang nodded in agreement.
