They had called Lin Yaxiang over for two reasons.
One was to scare Xie Pinghuai, and the other was to ask her if she had ever drowned a baby girl like the old woman they caught today.
Xie Pinggang was a bad person himself. He used to be a bandit, but he knew that he had to abide by the rules in his line of work.
What was a midwife?
It was a way to survive!
If she drowned baby girls, they would not get in contact with the Lin family anymore.
Moreover, now that he was handling this case, if there were people deliberately looking for trouble, they would definitely look into Lin Yaxiangâs past. If she had killed babies before, by then, they would definitely force him to punish Lin Yaxiang.
Hence, he asked Lin Yaxiang to make some preparations in advance. That was right... to be prepared to be killed by him.
Of course, Xie Pinggang still had some confidence in the Lin family.
That Master Lin was a doctor after all, and his family raised many girls. It seemed that the daughter he raised should be different from other midwives.
Zhou Weizong could not wait any longer. âLetâs talk about this tomorrow... My cousin...â
âBrother Zhou, you donât understand. In my line of work, I have to make sure that my family and friends are clean. Otherwise, someone will force me to kill my family out of righteousness, right? After all, theyâre my relatives. How could I not tell them before I destroy them?â
The corner of Zhou Weizongâs mouth twitched.
Whoever his relatives were, they would have bad luck for eight generations!
âYouâre right! Whereâs my cousin?!â Zhou Weizong said again.
âWhatâs the rush? Come here. Iâll get someone to call Master Yu over. Why donât you pay your respects first?â Xie Pinggang said again.
âCondolences!â Zhou Weizong was shocked. âWhat... happened to your family?â
After Zhou Weizong said that, he vaguely heard some crying noise.
âMy good-for-nothing eldest sister and younger brother are dead. I donât want you to do anything. I just want to go to the coffin and say a few words of regret, and at the same time, comfort me,â Xie Pinggang said.
Zhou Weizong froze. âWhat did you say?â
Princess Consort! She was⦠dead?!
âActually, my younger brother is dead, and my eldest sister is still alive, but... To be honest, her health is lacking, so this funeral should have been done a long time ago. However, she has been struggling for her life until now, and I havenât planned for it. Now that sheâs about to get married, Iâm afraid that I wonât have the chance to hold a funeral for her at home in the future, so Iâll make up for it in advance. Donât worry.â Xie Pinggang chuckled.
Zhou Weizong was about to go out of his mind. âHow can you make such a joke?! The status of the Princess Consort is precious. If we offended her...â
âHow would we offend her? Sheâs not the Princess Consort yet! I canât get involved in my sisterâs matter anymore? Besides, the old is dead and the new is alive. Iâve already taken care of the funeral. When the King of Hell sends the ox-headed and horse-faced demons to pick her up, theyâll leave when they canât find her. Her name will be stricken from the book of death. Wonât she be at peace in the future?â Xie Pinggang was spouting nonsense at this moment.
He was so unreasonable.
âHis Highness...â
âDonât tell His Highness. My sister has made her own decision. What should you tell His Highness? She hasnât gotten married yet!â Xie Pinggangâs tone was flat, âLook, thereâs only a white cloth hanging in my brotherâs courtyard. Nowhere else in the house has that, so it wonât be spread out. Donât worry!â
Zhou Weizong was anxious.
No, when he returned, he had to tell His Highness!
âWhen you enter the courtyard, donât talk nonsense. You have to treat it as if my sister is dead, understand?â Xie Pinggang patted Zhou Weizongâs back and reminded him aggressively.
Zhou Weizong nodded helplessly.
