Chapter 48
Auntie Yu’s eyes could no longer see. She gripped Song Yunnian’s hand tightly, tears of excitement streaming down her face.
“Eldest Miss, is it you?”
Clutching Auntie Yu’s skeletal hand, Song Yunnian felt a sharp pang of heartache. Auntie Yu clearly hadn’t lived well these past few years.
After her mother passed away, Auntie Yu had cared for her like a mother herself. Song Yunnian held a special place in her heart for the woman.
Watching the two of them embrace, Song Feier’s red lips curled into a cold, sinister smile.
Soon enough, Song Yunnian would be at her mercy, ready to be tortured. She would make sure to pay back everything she owed!
She quietly backed out of the basement.
Song Yunnian was entirely focused on Auntie Yu and didn’t notice Song Feier at all.
She squeezed Auntie Yu’s hand and said firmly, “Auntie Yu, I will definitely take you away from here.”
“Eldest Miss, you should stay far away from the Song family. This isn’t a place where you should be,” Auntie Yu said with a trembling voice, followed by a sudden fit of coughing brought on by her anxiety.
Song Yunnian’s brow furrowed as she asked, “Auntie Yu, did Li Yurong kill my mother?”
Auntie Yu shuddered at the question. She seemed to want to say something, but something held her back.
Seeing her reaction, the darkness in Song Yunnian’s eyes deepened. Even if Li Yurong hadn’t personally killed her mother, she was undoubtedly involved.
She had been investigating in secret all these years, but she had found nothing.
What exactly had happened to her mother?
Auntie Yu’s coughing grew more violent. Panicked, Song Yunnian moved to check on her, but she suddenly sensed something was wrong.
Her strength was rapidly draining away. Her legs felt increasingly weak.
Song Yunnian’s eyes instantly turned cold, a chilling frost radiating from her gaze.
Li Yurong and Song Feier had made their move.
She hadn’t touched anything since entering, and she had been extremely careful not to eat or drink anything.
Except for Auntie Yu…
They had used Auntie Yu as bait, lacing her with a drug to trap her!
Auntie Yu slumped back onto the bed, weak. “Eldest Miss, I feel so weak… I can’t even sit up.”
Song Yunnian felt a slight sense of relief. It seemed the substance only drained one’s strength and wasn’t something more lethal.
She opened her bag, took out her silver needles, and pricked herself.
The limp, heavy feeling in her body dissipated slightly. Song Yunnian forced herself to stay upright, leaning against the side of the bed.
Auntie Yu had already fallen asleep on the bed. Song Yunnian checked her pulse and found nothing seriously wrong.
It seemed the drug was on Auntie Yu’s clothes, and Auntie Yu’s symptoms weren’t as severe as hers.
Song Yunnian looked toward the exit, only to realize that the basement door had been closed at some point.
The effect of the silver needles didn’t seem to last long. Her limbs felt softer and weaker by the second. She pulled out her phone, but there wasn’t a single bar of signal.
Song Yunnian let out a bitter smile.
It looked like things were going to go badly today.
Outside the basement, Li Yurong was waiting for Song Feier.
Seeing Song Feier emerge, she immediately asked, “Well? Did that bitch go in?”
Song Feier gave a cruel sneer. “Of course. She even hugged that old hag. The drugs we spread will definitely knock her out.”
Li Yurong’s face lit up with joy.
She laughed happily. “Wonderful. That drug completely evaporates within five minutes. It’s a good thing she fell for it. That bitch is now meat on our chopping block.”
Just then, a servant stepped forward and said, “Madam, Miss, the young master-in-law is here.”
Song Feier’s heart skipped a beat. She asked in confusion, “Why is Yanchen here?”
Li Yurong’s eyes flickered. “Maybe his anger has cooled, and he’s come looking for you?”
Song Feier’s face lit up with excitement. “Really?”
“Never mind that for now. Let’s go see.”
“What about Song Yunnian?” Song Feier asked, still a bit uneasy.
Li Yurong snorted coldly. “Keep her locked in the basement for now. She won’t be able to run away anytime soon. It’s not like she can escape from our grasp anyway.”
