Fate of the Stupid Son Chapter 249

People came and went at the fair, and Erma’s eyes were not enough.

Song Wangyue purposely walked very slowly.

Er Ya was surprised by everything, even when she heard the shouting of roadside vendors, she found it strange, not to mention the candy sellers, and her eyes stared straight at them.

“Want one?”

Erma looked up, expectantly and cautiously asking, “Can I have it?”

“Of course you can, in the future, ah, as long as it’s something you want, you can give your sister the word.”

“Sister, I want sugar people.”

Song Wangyue stroked her head and bought a candy man for her.

Erma was jubilant and anxious.

The Song family village was far away from the county town, and the village children rarely came to the county town. Occasionally there were goodsmen who walked the streets of the village, but they only sold some needles and threads, and candy figures were rare.

They were carefully held in their hands, unable to eat them.

A few people stopped in front of a meat stall.

The stall owner didn’t take kindly to the fact that they were two little girls and enthusiastically asked them what they wanted to buy.

“A few pounds of big bones.”

The bones were not worth much, two or three wen a catty, but a mosquito is still meat, and besides, few people bought big bones on weekdays, and most of the time these were thrown away.

“Okay.”

“Do you have pork offal?”

“Yes, yes, yes.”

The stall owner answered happily, the pork offal was even harder to sell than the pork bones, and on weekdays they had to find a place far away to throw it away for fear of smelling the neighbours.

“How do you sell it?”

“Fifteen wen for a pair ……”

Before he could finish, Xiao Si came forward, “Miss Song, you can’t take the pig’s underwater, that stuff stinks.”

When the stall owner heard his words, he was afraid that Song Wangyue would change her mind and brought out a whole set of pork underwater from under the stall plus those big bones, “These, you can pay 20 wen in total.”

There were seven or eight catties of pork bones alone.

The stall owner was relieved that Song Wangyue had paid.

“Little Four, carry it.”

Xiao Si was really reluctant to carry them, if he had known that Song Wan Yue would buy these, he would have let the restaurant’s mate follow him over, these downpours were too smelly and he frowned in disgust.

“I’ll carry it for you.”

A small hand came over from the side, thin and small.

Xiao Si did not dare to let Er Ya carry it, not because he was afraid of being chastised by Gu Yi, but because he was afraid of breaking Er Ya’s hand.

“No need.”

Er Ya quickly retracted her hand and tightened her grip on Song Wan Yue’s hand again.

The three of them walked slowly along the bazaar, buying some more vegetables one after another, seeing that it was almost half an hour before they returned to the tavern.

They bought pork offal and big bones, which surprised the shopkeeper, but the pork offal was fine, and even some poor people didn’t want to eat it, especially the small and large intestines, which were so stinky that when they ate one bite, their mouths tasted foul and they couldn’t eat for days.

“Where is Gu Yi?”

“The young master is in the house, just in time to tell you something, this little Miss Song is also tired after following you around, I’ll take her to the other house to rest.”

Er Ya leaned close to Song Wan Yue at once.

Song Wan Yue stroked her head comfortingly, “It’s alright, Mr. Wei is a good person, if you’re scared, let Xiao Si stay with you, sister has something to do and will go with you when she’s done.”

Er Ya looked at Xiao Si, and then at the smiling Wei boss, and slowly left Song Wan Yue’s body.

Wei the shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and said, “Little Miss Song, you come with me, I have prepared many delicious food for you.”

When Erma followed Wei’s boss over, Song Wan Yue walked into the house.

“What is it?”

Gu Yi was practising her writing and put down her pen at the sound of her voice, “Madam Yuan sent her maid to find Boss Wei and said she wanted to see you.”

“Madam Yuan?”

“Hmm.”

Gu Yi washed her hands clean and came over to sit down, pouring a cup of tea and placing it in front of her, “Just after you left, the maid from Yuan’s house came over, me and Wei’s boss guessed that she was about Yuan Min’s poisoning, we thought it would be better if you didn’t go.”

“She sent someone to the tavern to look for Wei’s boss to give the Gu family face, if I don’t go there, she will send someone to spy on my family’s residence and have someone go to the house to look for me. It would be better for us to go there today rather than having the family worry along with us.”

“But ……”

“Don’t worry, since she has asked Wei’s boss to give me a message, she will definitely not do anything to me.”

“I’ll accompany you.”

Song Wangyue wanted to say no, but was afraid that he would worry, “Alright, you can accompany me to the entrance of the Yuan residence, where you can wait, I should be able to come out soon.”

……

The white cloths in front of the Yuan House had all been removed, and the house was deadly silent, with the servants walking on tiptoe, lest they make too much noise and provoke the master’s reprimand.

The people were all walking on tiptoe, fearing that if they made too much noise, they would provoke the master’s reprimand.

Ever since she spoke to Zhang Yao that day, she has been like this, and the maids waiting on her do not dare to breathe a word.

Song Wangyue got off the carriage and walked to the door with Xiao Si.

The man guarding the door of the house recognised her at once and glared angrily, “What are you doing here?”

“It’s not that I wanted to come, it’s your lady who invited me here.”

“You are nonsense, you have harmed our little …… family.”

“Shut up!”

The doorkeeper did not finish his words, he was reprimanded by the housekeeper who came at a brisk pace, the madam had asked the maid to send a message to the boss of Yue Hak Loi, Wei, for Song Wan Yue to come over for a trip he knew, he had thought that Song Wan Yue would not come over so soon, that’s why he did not give the doorkeeper the word first thing in the morning.

Even so, he did not look kindly on Song Wangyue.

Although she had not directly killed the lady, she had an indirect relationship with her, so he said with a sullen face, “Miss Song, come with me.”

Song Wan Yue did not bother with him and followed him to the main courtyard.

Hearing the housekeeper’s report, Madam Yuan opened her eyes and asked the maid to help her up and sit down, “Invite her in.”

Song Wangyue was invited into the house by the maid.

Madam Yuan slightly inclined herself to lean on the head of the bed, “Please sit down, Miss Song.”

Song Wangyue sat down.

Madame Yuan waved her hand to let the servants waiting in the room exit, her voice icy cold.

“I asked Miss Song to come here because I am not well enough to go out, not because I want to thank you.”

“I know, if I wasn’t afraid of you disturbing my family, I wouldn’t have come.”

Madam Yuan let out a cold laugh, “You do have self-awareness.”

“Each other. Gu Yi is still waiting outside, Madam Yuan had better speak quickly if she has something to say, you know he has a bad temper, he won’t be able to resist barging in after a while.”

“You take less ……”

Just after saying three words, Madam Yuan took a deep breath, swallowed the rest, and spoke again, her voice even colder than just now, “Let me ask you, what kind of poison is Beauty Smile?”

“Colorless and tasteless, it can make people die quietly and without a sound in their sleep.”

“How long does it take to make someone die?”

“I can’t say, it depends on how much is used.”

Madam Yuan laughed coldly, “I see you don’t know, do you? You fooled the master, you can’t fool me, Min’er didn’t die from your trumped up poison at all, she just died from her injuries!”

Song Wan Yue’s face was calm, “You think so?”

Madam Yuan sat up straight, “What else? The Zhang family’s mother and daughter came here two days before Min’er passed away, so if this Beauty’s Smile was poison, how could it have taken more than a day to kick in?”
