Swoosh!
At that moment, a strange black wind suddenly swept out. It carried Song Lanyue’s remnant soul and headed straight for the south.
She recognized Song Lanyue’s grave at a glance. Shen Yaowei’s figure flashed, and she quickly chased after her.
However, all the spiritual power in her body was exhausted. With a move, her feet fell to the ground, and she lost consciousness.
After sleeping for an unknown period of time, Shen Yaowei could always see her mother’s painful and despairing face in her sleep. Every tear of her mother’s was like a branding iron in her heart, making her go crazy.
“No, don’t. Mother, don’t go. Tell me who he is!” Shen Yaowei saw Song Lanyue being swept away by the black wind again and opened her eyes in shock.
“Yaoyao, don’t be afraid. It’s Daddy!” Shen Liu’an didn’t close his eyes all night. His eyes were filled with fatigue and blood vessels. He held Shen Yaowei’s hand tightly and comforted her. “Yaoyao, don’t be afraid. Daddy will protect you!”
Shen Yaowei was stunned when she saw Shen Liu’an. Then, she looked at the three brothers standing behind her father. Her eyes suddenly turned red as she choked and said, “I summoned Mother’s remnant soul. Her soul isn’t intact, but she remembers that she was forced when she was alive. Someone forced her to death. Father, there must be something wrong with Mother’s death!”
“Yaoyao, don’t be anxious. Tell me slowly what’s going on,” Shen Yifeng said.
They had hurriedly received news from Nuan Ying last night that their sister had used the Soul Summoning Technique and fainted in the prince’s courtyard. Coincidentally, the prince wasn’t around, so they rushed over. They still didn’t know what was going on.
Shen Yaowei took a few sips of the warm water Zi Yun handed her. After calming down, she told him everything that had happened last night. “Father, Mother was already about to tell me the truth at that time, but her soul was swept back to the tomb. It can be seen that there’s something strange in Mother’s tomb.”
“Good child, it’s been hard on you. Tell Daddy, how can we help you?” Shen Liu’an stared at Shen Yaowei and asked slowly.
“Father, I want to open the coffin and perform a post-mortem. If I’m not wrong, there must be something strange about Mother’s corpse. 1 have to see Mother’s corpse with my own eyes and investigate the truth back then.” After Shen Yaowei finished speaking, she looked at her father nervously, worried that he would disagree.
Shen Liu’an fell silent and thought for a long time. “I believe you. If your mother’s death back then was really strange, I would definitely investigate it to the end, so I’ll accompany you.”
“We’re going too!” Shen Yifeng and the other two said in unison and immediately went out to prepare the carriage.
Along the way, the family was silent.
When they arrived at Song Lanyue’s grave, Shen Liu’an closed his eyes and said with difficulty, “Dig!”
Shen Yifeng and the other two went forward with shovels in their hands and dug Song Lanyue’s grave with a dark expression.
Soon, the mud in the tomb was cleared, revealing the red coffin.
Shen Yifeng and the other two each pulled out the nails from the coffin. Next, as long as they exerted the last bit of strength, they could directly lift the lid of the coffin and see Song Lanyue’s corpse inside.
“Leave this last step to me.” Shen Liu’an walked down from the tomb. He stretched out his hand and slowly touched Song Lanyue’s coffin. “Lanyue, if you really have any grievances, tell us. Even if 1 have to risk my life, I will definitely avenge you.”
With that, he took a deep breath and pushed open the coffin with his eyes closed.
The moment the coffin opened, a strange, evil aura a.s.saulted his face.
“Dad, Big Brother, retreat quickly!” With a thought, Shen Yaowei quickly built a few barriers to protect Shen Liu’an and the others. Then, she looked into the coffin.
With just one glance, Shen Yaowei and the others were all stunned.
A beautiful woman in a white shroud lay quietly in the coffin. Her skin was pale, but it couldn’t hide her beauty. Her eyes and appearance were exactly the same as when she was alive.. There were no signs of decay!
