“Go away! What do you, these foolish men, understand? That woman has a heart as cruel as a snake and scorpion. She killed my son, and now she wants to destroy his body, and obliterate all evidence!”
Granny Sun sat down on the ground, her cries filled with despair. “Poor my son! I’m powerless, and now, even in death, you are to be desecrated by these people, just so you can’t rest in peace, my son.”
Granny Sun’s wails were heart-wrenching, leaving the villagers unsure of how to proceed.
Su Yingxue’s expression darkened slightly. “Granny Sun, if you insist on preventing me from opening the coffin to examine the body, I will go and invite Lord Liang from the Capital Prefecture. He is known for his impartiality, and everyone in Jiang Du City is aware of it. He won’t favor me and will ensure justice is served.”
“This… No! No!” Granny Sun waved her hands in horror. The person who had looked for her had instructed her not to cause a ruckus at the government office and not to let anyone open her son’s coffin.
“Grandma, you keep insisting that your son was murdered. Isn’t reporting it to the authorities the best course of action?”
The honest villager scratched his head, not comprehending Granny Sun’s actions.
Su Yingxue stood nearby, showing no urgency. The simple villagers here had a knack for exposing Granny Sun’s deceit.
“You’re all blindly jeering. You’ve all been bewitched by that woman. Oh my!”
Granny Sun might lack other talents, but she excelled at making a scene.
She stood in front of the coffin, and anyone who approached her was met with her threat to throw herself into the coffin.
This made the villagers hesitant to approach her.
Even Su Yingxue couldn’t publicly apprehend her.
As things started looking dire, just when Su Yingxue was in a difficult situation, a woman dressed in rough clothing rushed out and picked up the child next to Granny Sun. She knelt beside her, wiping away tears, and tried to convince her. “Mother, please don’t be stubborn! Let Miss Su perform the autopsy! Wangcai would feel uneasy if he saw this from heaven!”
“You… Why have you returned!” Granny Sun shoved her daughter-in-law away, scolding her in their local dialect, “Filthy thing! Didn’t I tell you to leave? Don’t come out until I’m dead!”
“Mother, Wangcai is gone, and now it’s just you and the child. Where should I go? Wangcai didn’t have many days left. Miss Su’s clinic didn’t harm anyone. Please don’t act irrationally!”
The woman cried, her tears flowing sincerely.
Granny Sun, filled with anger, shouted, “What nonsense are you saying?”
The person had promised her an ingot of gold when the task was completed!
It was real gold!
She had never seen anything like it in her entire life. As long as she could hold that gold in her hands, her grandson could have a good life for the rest of his days.
Even if it meant giving up her own life, it would be worth it!
“Mother, take a look at this.”
In a corner that no one could see, the woman slipped something into Granny Sun’s hand. Granny Sun was taken aback and then became visibly embarrassed. “Granny Sun, are you still going to stop me?” Su Yingxue asked, noticing the change in her expression.
Granny Sun’s face turned ashen as she stepped aside. She remained silent. Her face was grim, but she no longer wept.
Although Su Yingxue was unsure where this daughter-in-law had come from, no one prevented her from opening the coffin and examining the body. Several young adults from the village, who remembered her as the benevolent person who helped relocate graves, even volunteered to open the coffin for her.
Sun Wangcai’s corpse was removed, and Su Yingxue donned gloves to conduct a meticulous examination. She concluded that Sun Wangcai did not have many days left to live, and he had indeed consumed the medicine prescribed by Tongchang Medical Center. However, the cause of death was his unauthorized self-increase of the dosage, which led to an untimely demise..
