Chapter 337: Relatives Arrive

Wei Xiang Yu’s elder brother, Wei Zhikuan, was dumbfounded when he received the news of his younger sister’s death.

Originally, he thought that Yang Xiangdong had a calm temperament and ruthless methods. His younger sister wasn’t easy to get along with either, so he thought that no matter what, the two of them could fight for a good outcome.

But he didn’t expect that his younger sister would die in such a tragic way.

Yang Xiangdong only told him this fact. But there was no explanation or response!

This idiot, how did he mess up?

So, he quickly asked his wife to pack up: “I have to go to the capital immediately and see what happened.”

His wife, while directing people to pack for him, said: “Younger sister still has a lot of silver and belongings. When she got divorced, we extorted a lot from Song Shang, and she took a lot back! It’s said that the courtyard in the capital is quite decent…”

“I know! At that time, seeing that Yang Xiangdong had face, I didn’t argue with her too much.”

To say that Wei Zhikuan was shocked and disappointed when he received the news.

His wife, however, couldn’t hide her happy smile: “Also, when she was at the Song family, she saved a lot of private savings. I know she deposited them at Chengxin Bank! I’ll go inquire right away. You need to get the death certificate from the local government office when you go to the silver shop to cash it in.

Besides, not to mention her jewelry, just her clothes… there’s more than one fur worth over ten thousand taels! These are extraordinary!”

After finishing, she became anxious again, “Wei Jinheng held a funeral for her in the capital, taking the initiative. I don’t know how much he swallowed! You can’t let him off the hook. First, find her maids and older female servants to be witnesses… If it doesn’t work, fight, make a scene, go to the officials! We’ve already separated our families! Wei Xiang Yu is dead, her things are all ours!”

“Alright, alright, I know!”

So, he hurried to the capital and went straight to Wei Xiang Yu’s small courtyard. Sure enough, his cousin had occupied the courtyard.

Entering the door, his face was extremely gloomy. He walked around inside and outside the house, and it was really “clean”. All the valuable items were gone.

He slammed down on a seat, full of imposing manner: “Where’s the silver? Where are the things? Tell me…”

Someone informed Song Chihan about the arrival of her maternal uncle.

Song Chihan, accompanied by her maids and older female servants, and escorted by Song Tao, arrived at the small courtyard.

Seeing Song Chihan in mourning clothes, Wei Zhikuan pretended to be in grief, and his eyes even turned red…

Song Tao smiled secretly and said from the side: “Song Tao will go offer a stick of incense to Eldest Sister-in-Law, you can talk to Chihan first.” He excused himself.

Wei Zhikuan, thinking of what the mysterious person who sought him out yesterday said… forced a sorrowful smile at Song Chihan and said in a deep voice: “Hanhan, Uncle is here.”

He felt that he was quite emotional, but Song Chihan was unmoved, looking at him coldly.

This little brat!

“You are my only niece… Think carefully, do you want to go home with Uncle, or continue living in the Song family?”

Song Chihan was stunned. She thought this maternal uncle was also here to snatch her mother’s property! Wasn’t that what her paternal uncle did?

Her aunt only cared about silver! Her mother used to talk about it a lot…

So, when she came, she didn’t give Wei Zhikuan a good look.

Hearing that he wanted to take her away: “You want to take me away?” Her black eyes widened.

“Your stepmother has already entered the household. There’s no good stepmother in the world! You are too young to take care of yourself. If you stay alone in the Song family, I’m sure your mother’s spirit in heaven won’t be at peace.”

As soon as Song Chihan heard this, her eyes turned red.

Wei Zhikuan continued: “We are too far apart, if anything happens to you, Uncle wouldn’t know. So, I hope you come with me. Although the Wei family is not as wealthy as the Song family, it’s your mother’s maiden family after all. No one will scheme against you or restrain you!”

As he spoke, he observed the little girl’s expression.

Actually, the Wei family used to hold decent official positions, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to force Song Shang to marry his sister. But in recent years, they have been quite unlucky, with things not going well in their official posts. They stepped into several pitfalls, and all the silver they extorted from Song Shang was used to fill those holes…

He didn’t know, how could Song Shang possibly want the Wei family to rise? He also had some secret pitfalls for them. He couldn’t make big moves, but he didn’t hold back on small ones. So, the Wei family has been going up and down, spinning in circles.

But Song Chihan was suddenly moved. After all, he was her mother’s elder brother. Although her aunt was greedy, her uncle was still a good person…

“I won’t go! This is my home, why should I leave?!” She suddenly said excitedly, tears streaming down her face.

Wei Zhikuan looked surprised, but he nodded and said with relief: “Good! For you to say this at such a young age, Uncle is both surprised and relieved… It seems you are even more intelligent and strong than your mother.”

He took out his cotton handkerchief and offered it to her.

✿✿✿

Song Chihan didn’t take it, but pulled out her own… a top-quality cloud brocade, the thick and heavy kind, extremely white. As soon as it unfolded, a fragrance wafted out…

“…” Uncle Wei cursed in his heart and silently withdrew his handkerchief that he had used twice…

“However… your parents’ divorce has had a big impact on you. If your mother was still alive, although you couldn’t live together, she would make a scene at the Song family if you suffered even a little grievance. The Song family would have scruples and wouldn’t dare to do anything to you. But now… she’s gone… You alone, I’m afraid, can’t handle it. You’ll suffer a great loss…”

Song Chihan said hatefully: “It doesn’t matter… Now, I’m like an orphan, what else am I afraid of? At worst… I’ll fight them to the death!”

Wei Zhikuan was shocked: “Look at you, at such a young age, what are you saying?”

“It’s the truth!” Song Chihan’s face was full of arrogance.

“Do you have the strength? Do you have people and silver in your hands? Do you have a way?” Wei Zhikuan was questioning her verbally, but his heart stirred…

The mysterious person who sought him out yesterday said that someone was targeting the Song family.

He was quite happy to hear it and promised to help if there was a chance. But now that he thought about it… after they dealt with the Song family, what benefit would it bring him? No matter who swallowed it, it wouldn’t be his turn! Moreover, the crime was too great, this little girl wouldn’t be able to escape, and he might even be implicated!

But what if… Song Shang died now!?

He would leave behind an orphan and a widow, and with Song Chihan in my hand, the Song family…

He revealed a meaningful smile.

Song Chihan was a young girl after all. Although she considered herself clever, how could she see through this? She still said hatefully: “I can’t beat them… But I can drug that woman so she can’t have children!”

Wei Zhikuan was really surprised… This girl’s ruthlessness was not bad.

But he shook his head slightly, “What’s the use? Won’t your father remarry? Won’t he take concubines? All these years, if it weren’t for Uncle suppressing him, he should have had a bunch of children already…”

Actually, he couldn’t understand this point now. He didn’t think the Wei family could really control Song Shang. His sister couldn’t really keep him infatuated… Look, it didn’t work, did it!

But if that’s the case, he should have had eight or ten sons by now… Strange!

“Then… is there any kind of medicine that can make my father unable to have children?” Song Chihan thought for a while and asked.

Wei Zhikuan was overjoyed, but he put on a wry smile: “Little girl, if there was, could you really do it?”

“Why not?” Song Chihan’s eyes lit up: “He drove my mother away, caused her death, and then immediately remarried. He only wants to have sons! Does he care about me? He wronged me, why can’t I hurt him!?”

“Uncle knows you’re angry, and your hatred is justified. But, your father, that kind of person, can he be easily harmed? He has achieved what he has today because he is smart, cautious, bold, and ruthless. He lacks none of these qualities. What can you, a little girl, do?”

“What can I do… I can catch him off guard!” Song Chihan figured it out and became excited, “Yes, that’s it! He wouldn’t even think that I would do something to him!”

Tears not yet dry, a smile appeared on her little face.

“Then… I’ll be his only daughter! No matter how busy he is, how hard he works, how high his noble title is, how much silver he earns, it will all be mine!” Her little face flushed red, envisioning that beautiful future.

Confident and determined!

Uncle Wei looked at her, shaking his head in disbelief: “I never thought you would… have such a temperament. It seems you have inherited your parents’ strengths… Uncle has to admire you.”

“Uncle.” Song Chihan called out sincerely. From the moment she believed that this uncle was not after her mother’s property but cared about her, she regarded him as her elder… no, her helper.

“Can you help me? Help me find the medicine, help me think of a way?” After asking, Song Chihan persuaded him: “Don’t think that Grandmother dotes on me now! That’s because she doesn’t have a grandson yet. Once she has a grandson, I’m afraid she’ll forget who I am!

My father is busy outside every day and rarely comes home. He seems gentle to me, but I can’t feel his love. Now, my stepmother has entered the household… As you said, is there any good stepmother in the world? And, I offended her long ago! So, how am I supposed to live?”

Wei Zhikuan hesitated…

Song Chihan said anxiously: “If I really go with you… I’m afraid they’ll be happy to see me go! But what’s in it for me? Just like my mother, it’s easy to leave, but it’s hard to come back! Why? The Song family is mine…” She sobbed, “I won’t go! Knowing they don’t like me, I’ll just stay here and disgust them to death!”

“Alright, alright, little girl, calm down! Uncle is going to spend the New Year here anyway. This is not a small matter, Uncle will think about it, and you should think about it carefully too. No matter what, I’m your closest relative now. Whatever you want to do, as long as you think it through, Uncle will definitely help you achieve it!”

“Okay, then it’s settled! You are my uncle… If I’m good, you won’t be bad either!”

Song Chihan didn’t forget to promise benefits…

Uncle Wei grinned: Why do I feel that this girl is not so easy to control?

However, there are also examples of newborn calves accomplishing great things.

This kind of little girl, a young mistress, has people respecting her, but no one guarding against her… As long as things succeed, with just her, a little girl, can’t I handle her?

For the whole month of March, I’ve been updating over 5,000 words every day, and the platform hasn’t given me any reward…

I’m discouraged…

I want to update once a day in the future, my dear readers, is that okay?
