Chapter 334: Bo Song Learns the Cause of A Niang's Death
"What about mother?" Bai Xun looked at him sadly.
"What?" Bo Song thought he had misheard.
Bai Xun walked forward for a while, stood there and looked at Bai Song.
"So, does the mother lying here deserve to die or not?"
Bo Song was stunned, his eyes widening. "What did you say? Mother is lying here? Isn't Mother buried in the ancestral tomb? How could she be here?"
"A-niang was not buried in the ancestral tomb. After the funeral, her body was thrown here. There was no coffin, not even a shroud. Honey was sprinkled on her body and she was buried very shallowly. Those people were afraid that wild animals, insects and ants would not be able to find her." Bai Xun said gritting his teeth.
Bo Song looked at him in astonishment, his lips trembling slightly: "How do you know all this?"
"The Great Witch was an old friend of A'niang. She left him a letter before she died. A'niang didn't die of illness, but was murdered." Bai Xun gritted his teeth and said, "Because A'niang discovered the secret of this mountain, she opposed grandfather's actions..."
"Impossible!" Bo Song leaned forward slightly, waving his hands violently, his voice a little sharp with excitement. "Impossible! Although Grandfather's methods were somewhat cruel, he was very protective of his people. He would never attack his own family. You must be mistaken! The Great Witch... yes! Did the Great Witch develop ulterior motives and deliberately sow discord between you and Grandfather?"
"Isn't Nanchun a family member too? Did grandpa ever show mercy to him? Brother, have you never doubted the cause of A Niang's death? Why did you investigate if you didn't have any doubts? You have looked for the servants in the plum garden and the doctor who treated A Niang, right?" Bai Xun questioned.
Bo Song trembled unconsciously and his heart beat fast.
His grandfather was indeed cruel and merciless, but Bo Song always felt that as the head of the family, he had no choice but to do so. He did it for the Bo family, for his family...
A-niang is also family.
Why would he attack A Niang?
"Brother, if you don't believe me, you can come with me to see someone." Bai Xun said.
The Great Witch's House.
The dead Yang Wude suddenly appeared in front of Bai Song.
Although the man in front of him had an unshaven beard, messy hair, and looked haggard and decadent, Bo Song still recognized him at a glance.
"Doctor Yang? Are you still alive?"
Seeing Bai Song in tears, Yang Wude knelt before him, clutching the corner of his clothes tightly and begging, "Master Bai, please spare my life! I know I was wrong... Please let me go..."
"Yang Wude!" Bai Xun shouted.
Yang Wude trembled, hurriedly let go of his hand and stepped back, lowering his eyes and not daring to look at him.
"Tell your brother about the evil things you have done." Bai Xun said coldly.
Yang Wude pursed his lips and said, "Master Bai, I was told to do this by the old patriarch. You know, I've received favors from the old patriarch before. He asked me to do this, and I couldn't refuse. I had no choice!"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Bai Xun said in a deep voice.
"Husband... Madam... She is not sick. The old master ordered the servants to tamper with her diet." Yang Wude said.
Bo Song's eyes widened, he grabbed his collar and asked, "What did you do?"
"She used...opium, and the old patriarch asked me to inject her with a large amount of addictive drugs." Yang Wude said guiltily.
Bo Song was enraged. He grabbed Yang Wude's neck and said through gritted teeth, "Killing you like this won't relieve my hatred. I will cut you into pieces!"
The Great Wizard at the side pulled him away and whispered in his ear, "He is a key witness. We cannot take his life for the time being."
Bo Song let go of him weakly.
No wonder those terminally ill old chain smokers going crazy looked so familiar to him.
No wonder his grandparents tried every means to stop him and Xundi from going to see their mother.
No wonder the maids and servants who served A Niang back then either died or left.
Yang Wude was so frightened that he peed his pants and knelt on the ground, kowtowed repeatedly: "Master Bai, Master, please forgive me! This was all ordered by the old master, I had no choice but to obey!"
The witch called his men at the door to drag Yang Wude away.
"Brother, Nanchun fainted in my grandmother's courtyard that day, and it was not because of the charcoal fire. It was the butler who put drugs in Nanchun's tea, and then wanted Yang Wude to repeat the same trick and kill Nanchun like he killed A Niang." Bai Xun said.
Bo Song's heart ached: "Grandfather...why did he attack my mother?"
The Great Wizard came into the room and took out a letter and handed it to her.
Priest, you are the only one I can trust now.
Two years ago, I stumbled upon a strange place in the mountains. It was on the back slope, where wild men were rumored to roam. Flowers abounded, resembling a fairyland. But hidden within this fairyland lay the mutilated remains of bodies, gnawed by wild beasts.
Later, I secretly went up the mountain to investigate and found that it was actually a mass grave. All those who had disappeared inexplicably in the village before must have been killed and buried there.
Later, I secretly investigated and discovered that they didn't just kill and bury the bodies. They also planted brightly colored flowers in a secluded valley not far from there. I recognized that one; my husband once told me it was something that could harm people.
The Bai family is doing evil! I can't just stand by and watch them harm people! I wanted to report it to the police, but I was arrested before I even left Baijiazhai. The head of the family called me a traitor, but for Song'er and Xun'er's sake, he spared my life for now.
Only now did I understand that he didn't want me to live. He asked me to leave Song'er and Xun'er and move to another courtyard, saying it was a way for me to reflect on my past. But he told others that I had an infectious disease and locked me up there. I knew the doctor the housekeeper brought was here to harm me. But there was nothing I could do. I was afraid if I didn't obey them, they would harm my child.
After I die, please bury my remains in that sinful grave! I will atone for the sins committed by the Bai family! Let these wronged souls seek me out, not Song'er and Xun'er. Please, for the sake of our past friendship, protect my children and let them grow up safely.
Bosong's eyes were red, his breathing was rapid and heavy, and his face was a mixture of sadness and anger.
Two years ago…
Isn’t that the last time A’niang took him up the mountain?
Bo Song felt a headache and a terrifying image suddenly appeared in his mind.
He happily chased the butterflies into the garden, but he tripped while running. He looked at what had tripped him, and found it was a bloody head.
Half of his face had been eaten by the beast, and the other half had bulging eyes that were staring at him intently.
"Ah ah ah ah..."
Bai Song's tears burst out. He grabbed Bai Xun's arm tightly and looked at him with sadness and despair.
His voice was hoarse, and every word he uttered revealed deep pain and guilt: "It's all my fault... I hurt my mother! I shouldn't have chased butterflies, I shouldn't have disobeyed my mother..."
