I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

Chapter 278 Meeting

"I...I understand..." Erfu's face was flushed, and he was being choked so hard he could hardly breathe. He managed to utter a few words, his heart filled with fear.

Yun Qingyi's eyes were icy, and she loosened her grip slightly. "Now I'm asking you, when my mother-in-law and I went to the Zhang family today, did you see us?"

Although it was already confirmed, Yun Qingyi still wanted to ask again in detail.

"It's...it's me." Looking at the hand on his neck that felt like a demon demanding his life, Erfu said without any hesitation.

"Did the guard's words reach your ears?"

“I brought it…I brought it…” Erfu’s voice was weak.

"Ha... So you won't even see your own mother?"

Upon hearing this, Erfu ignored the hand on his neck and exclaimed, "That old woman is not my mother! My mother is not like that!"

"That should be like this."

"My mother is beautiful! Even when she gets old, she won't look so withered and frail!"

"So, you're complaining that your mother is getting old and ugly?"

Erfu's eyes darted away. "I...I didn't! Anyway, she's not my mother!"

Yun Qingyi looked at him quietly for a while without saying anything, then said, "Next question, do you know about how your mother was bullied by your father?"

"I know..." Erfu blurted out, but seeing Yun Qingyi's cold eyes, he immediately added, "It's because Mother is disobedient and always makes mistakes. What's wrong with Father disciplining her?"

With a "smack!", Erfu was slapped to the ground, and a scream rang out.

Yun Qingyi stepped on Erfu and looked at him as if he were a corpse.

She was usually a very calm person, but she couldn't help but take action after hearing these words.

Erfu: "Grandma, I was wrong, I was wrong. I shouldn't have let Dad bully Mom. I'm a bastard. Grandma, please forgive me."

"Heh..." Yun Qingyi sneered, "After watching from the sidelines for so many years, now you know you were wrong."

"Do you really know you were wrong?"

"You're just powerless to resist me."

Erfu continued to wail, but Yun Qingyi lifted her up and said, "Shut up!"

Upon hearing this, Erfu, fearing that Yun Qingyi would harm him again, immediately fell silent.

Seeing that the man in her arms had fallen silent, Yun Qingyi glanced at the sky and said, "In a moment, you will say whatever I tell you to say, understand?"

Erfu nodded hurriedly, "I...I understand, I will definitely do as instructed!"

Taking advantage of the darkness, Yun Qingyi did not enter the inn through the main gate, but instead led Erfu over the wall into her room.

"Grandma, we're back." Beside her was Erfu, who had already tidied up. The mud and stains on his clothes had been removed, but you could still see some if you looked closely.

Hearing the sound, the old woman struggled to lift her head from under the covers. At this moment, she was completely on the verge of death and could pass away at any moment.

Yun Qingyi quickly helped her up and pointed at the man, saying, "Look, I brought Erfu here."

When Erfu saw the old woman, he quickly went over, took her hand, and kept calling her "Mother."

"Mother! It is your unfilial son who has caused you suffering. I am so sorry! I kowtow to you!"

After saying this, Erfu kowtowed repeatedly to the ground. Seeing this, the old woman opened her mouth and uttered a hoarse voice, "Erfu... get up quickly, Mother doesn't blame you... Mother doesn't blame you..."

“Mother…” Erfu got up from the ground and came to the old woman.

“Come… let your mother see you…” The old woman’s voice was hoarse, but her eyes were full of love.

Yun Qingyi watched from the side, eventually moving a little further away and only watching from a distance.

But with her excellent hearing, she could still hear what the old woman was saying. She didn't talk about her experiences or the hardships she had endured along the way.

Instead, they said the wheat at home was ripe.

Old Li's cat in the village gave birth to another kitten that Erfu likes.

Last year, the jujube tree at the entrance of the village bore a lot of jujubes, which Erfu loved to eat.

……

The old woman repeated it again and again, patiently.

Finally, the old woman lovingly stroked Erfu's cheek with her withered hands, "Child, I don't blame you. It's late, you should go home."

Upon hearing this, Erfu subconsciously glanced over.

I nodded slightly, and with that permission, he quickly left without looking back.

Seeing the door close, Yun Qingyi walked up to the old woman: "Won't you chat a little longer?"

The old woman smiled slightly: "No, I've already seen the person, and I've said everything I needed to say."

"Has your wish been fulfilled?"

"Yes, I have no regrets."

“And I want to give you this last bit of time, young lady.” The old woman looked up at Yun Qingyi and smiled kindly, “Thank you.”

"You're welcome." Yun Qingyi pursed her lips.

"Thank you for letting Erfu come to see me, which fulfilled my wish. Actually, I know he didn't want to come."

Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi was slightly taken aback.

The old woman continued, "Actually, I knew he was right next to that door this morning."

She smiled slightly: "What mother can't feel her own child?"

"you……"

……

On the other side, on his way back to the Zhang residence, Erfu patted his chest with lingering fear, "Luckily, I acted well, otherwise that female devil would definitely not have let me go."

"But what did that old woman say in the end..." Erfu murmured the words: "...It's not your fault."

"Mom doesn't blame you."

Suddenly, he was jolted awake. To be able to come from a remote mountain village to a place like Xiancheng to work as a manager, one must be quite intelligent.

In just a moment, he understood the meaning of those words.

"Mother!" He broke down in tears and turned to rush back.

Back at the inn, Erfu hurriedly pushed open the door and stumbled into the room, only to find the bed empty. "Where's my mother? Where's my mother?"

Yun Qingyi did not answer, but just stared at the thin remnant soul of the dead lying on the bed in front of her.

This is where she died this time, and also where she died in the end.

Fortunately, this time, he didn't die in the middle of nowhere.

Seeing that Yun Qingyi did not answer, Erfu prostrated himself on the ground, grabbed Yun Qingyi's feet, and cried uncontrollably: "Miss, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong... Please, let me see my mother."

"Your mother is dead," Yun Qingyi said calmly, her voice devoid of any emotion.

"How could this be... how could this be..." Erfu paused, stunned, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Heh..." Yun Qingyi couldn't help but sneer, "How is it impossible? Anyone could tell from the way your mother looked just now that she wouldn't live past tonight."

Erfu released Yun Qingyi's feet, knelt down beside the bed where the old woman had slept, and wailed, "I...I know, I just didn't expect it to be so soon."

"Shut up, you only realize how important she is now that she's gone?" Yun Qingyi said coldly without any mercy. "I bet just a quarter of an hour ago, you were still looking down on her because she was an old woman, and you were even going to play along with my act for her."

"I regret it, I know I was wrong..."

"You're only doing this because you're a human being, and you still have a little bit of a guilty conscience."

After saying that, Yun Qingyi left the inn without arguing with him further.

The old woman is dead, and the test that the Ice Soul Goddess gave her should also be over.

She stepped out of the inn, where snowflakes were falling in abundance.

Has it snowed?

Yun Qingyi caught the snowflake in her hand, feeling her spiritual energy gradually recovering.
