Chapter 925: The Little One was Truly Magical
Mu Qiqi was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to think straight when she saw how heartbroken she was.
However, the old lady was obviously stronger than Elder Liu. After she had cried enough, she stood up and wiped her tears away.
“I’m not as heartless as you, not leaving a single cent for my descendants. I can’t bear to die with you because I still have grandchildren to support. Today, I’m here to send you off. In the next life, we don’t want to see each other anymore. I’m really blind to have married you in this life.”
Things did not develop in the way that the Shen family had imagined. For some reason, Mu Qiqi suddenly had a lot of admiration for this old lady.
Especially when she saw her stumbling away. She did not know why, but her heart felt a little emotion.
Old Master Shen appeared to not be able to bear it. In the end, he turned to ask Shen Jianchuan, “Have you really donated all of it?”
“There’s this house left. As there’s going to be a mourning hall, we haven’t had the time yet.”
“Give it to the old lady. It can be considered as a memento for her.”
A dozen people came in a mighty wave and then left in the same manner.
They were all family members of the old lady. After burning an incense stick for the dead, they bowed and quickly left.
It turned out that there was such a thing as love.
In secret, Mu Qiqi held Sheng Xiao’s hand tightly. Even a cold war with Sheng Xiao for half an hour would make her feel extremely uncomfortable and she would not be willing to stay angry at him.
For the entire day, the three sons of the Liu family did not dare to come in. Old Master Shen and Shen Jianchuan stayed late into the night in the mourning hall for Elder Liu’s last night.
Only then did the three of them walk to the entrance of the mourning hall and kneel down.
“Uncle Shen, please, let us send father off on his last journey. We were really wrong…”
As Mu Qiqi was pregnant, she had no choice but to return to the hotel to rest under Sheng Xiao’s care, so she missed the part where the Liu family’s son admitted his mistake.
“That old lady today gave me a great feeling,” Mu Qiqi said as she lay on Sheng Xiao’s back while taking a bath in the bathroom. “Why do some people turn love into hate? They clearly know that they can never be apart from each other, so why can’t they just love each other?”
Sheng Xiao gave Mu Qiqi a slight glance. He then wiped the two of them dry and carried her to bed.
“Are you afraid that we’ll turn into a resentful couple too?”
Mu Qiqi shook her head. “We’ll never turn into that because I know that we love each other without holding anything back. I can’t bear to make you angry, and you won’t bear to make me sad.”
“Since you know that, why are you still so emotional?”
“Maybe… it’s because I’m going to be a mother soon,” Mu Qiqi answered. “However, I really admire that old lady. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t be able to live on my own without you. I’m more selfish than her.”
Sheng Xiao turned to her and pinched her chin. “That’s a long way to go. You’ll have to accompany me until I’m seventy or eighty years old.”
“Come to think of it, Grandfather Liu isn’t that miserable after all. At least, he has Grandmother Liu’s love. Things have kind of warmed up a little.”
She had thought that they would have to go to war with the three sons of the Liu family on this trip to Luo Hai. She did not expect that the heavens would still favor the good.
..
After sending off Elder Liu, Old Master Shen and the others were to return to Jianchuan in the afternoon.
However, before that, Shen Jianchuan had personally delivered the key to the house to the old lady’s house.
The three grandsons were now crying out for food.
The three sons of the Liu family were not doing well and the wife was idling around. It was no wonder the old lady was so ‘vicious’.
“Sell the house and get a smaller one. The rest of the money will be enough for the few of you to live for a few years.”
“Is this what the old man wants?” The old lady held the key in her hand, feeling a little uncomfortable.
“If you had not spoken so harshly to him, if you had communicated with him properly, the old man would not have been so desperate that he decided on that action.” After saying that, Shen Jianchuan walked out of the house.
However, the old lady chased after him. “I know that the old man’s former enemies have come knocking on his door. There’s nothing he could have done.”
“If the Song family gets caught, if I’m still around, get someone to send a message and make me happy. That b*stard will die a horrible death!”
“I will.”
After Elder Liu’s funeral was settled, the family returned to Jianchuan. After returning home, Old Master Shen isolated himself by the fishpond again. However, this time, Shen Jianchuan told Mu Qiqi not to worry.
“Your grandfather will only think about how to bring down the Song family now. He won’t take things too hard. Don’t worry.”
“Song Jiang will definitely get his retribution. Dad, you have to trust me.” Mu Qiqi grabbed Shen Jianchuan’s arm.
“You’ve been tired for two days. Go home. Eighth Brother has been taking care of you for quite some time now. Act like a wife and be considerate of your husband.”
“Mm.” Mu Qiqi nodded. She turned around and walked to the door before returning to Banyan Courtyard with Sheng Xiao.
The Liu family was gone. Now, the only enemy of the Song family was the Shen family.
She did not know what kind of trick Song Jiang, that b.a.s.t.a.r.d, had up his sleeve as he waited to attack her.
However, Mu Qiqi was not afraid. Even if she was pregnant, she was still a brave pregnant woman.
After thinking it through, Mu Qiqi no longer had any hesitation. She went to the living room to share with Mama Sheng and Papa Sheng about what had happened in Luo Hai in the past two days. When she returned to her room, Sheng Xiao was alone in the bathtub.
Mu Qiqi quietly walked over and leaned against his bathtub. “Are you tired?”
“I have to deal with Huang Yao later. You go to sleep first.” Sheng Xiao opened his eyes and turned his head to Mu Qiqi.
“Bring Third Brother back to manage Huang Yao. You have a team anyway. You just need someone to be in charge. You’re already tired enough dealing with Zhongteng’s matters and you still have to take care of me. Dad said that I’m not a good wife and that you’re tired.”
Sheng Xiao got up from the bathtub after hearing this.
Mu Qiqi immediately took a towel and wrapped it around the man’s slim waist.
“Why don’t I take care of Huang Yao for you?” Mu Qiqi went up to him and asked with a heartache.
“Huang Yao isn’t lacking people to that extent.” Sheng Xiao dragged her out of the bathroom. “Go to bed.”
“But…”
“If you delay any longer, I’ll only sleep even later.”
Mu Qiqi did not dare to make a sound. When she saw him enter the study, she could not help him at all and thought that she was always looking for trouble. So, she obediently went to bed.
Sheng Xiao saw her turn off the lights and slowly curled his lips. Although it was very tedious to deal with official matters, sometimes he would take out the cufflinks she made and look at them. Sometimes, he would take out the bookmarks she made and look at them. It was actually not that torturous.
When did he, Sheng Xiao, become such a family-oriented person?
The little one was truly magical.
However, the third day after they returned to Jianchuan, the old lady of the Liu family sent someone over with a message. Elder Liu’s grave had been pried open and his ashes were scattered all over the place. When the old lady saw this, she went ballistic!
Whose ‘masterpiece’ was this? Did she even need to think about it?
They couldn’t even let off the old man’s ashes. The Song family was too ruthless.
