Chapter 41 Aunt-in-law Died, Shen Qian Took Over in Person?

rted being cautious as well.Hua Xiao was pale and rode her horse listlessly beside Lin Tingyu's carriage.In the carriage, Lin Tingyu clutched her temples, rubbing them painfully. She pretended not to...The soil mixed with the rainwater that had accumulated on the mountain rushed forward with a gushing sound.

Ginger reacted quickly, pulling Song Jiuchang and Song Jiuri aside before she ran.

...While some others were lucky enough to escape, those who weren't so quick managed to flee the mudslide.

Song Jiuli and Song Jichí looked at the people who were rushed forward, their faces pale with fright. They were still shaken by what had happened.

Don't mention them, even Song Jiuyuan and Song Da's wife in the distance were frightened with their hearts beating fast. Luckily, everyone they cared about was fine.

"Lao San, Lao San!"

Elder Mrs. Song, who had been standing on the side, trembled slightly and rushed over this moment.

The scene was somewhat chaotic. Jiang Wan looked at Shen Qian a few steps away, her eyes full of disgust.

Because she had just clearly seen it, in order to survive, Shen Qian pushed Duan's concubine down the slope.

Things look grim, and Shen Qianbai's face was pale with fright. She didn't know what to do.

"My husband, my husband!"

Song Sanniang collapsed and wept bitterly. Besides Duan Yiniang, the Song family was missing Song Laosan.

This is the consequence of not trusting Ginger, hearing that even some of the few who didn't run were spared.

On the contrary, these officials and Chen Ce were very trusting of Ginger Wan, each one passing through without any mishap.

Except for Duan's mistress, the two of them really became a wild pair.

Ginger stood there with a heavy gaze, while Ren Bon walked over with a face full of regret.

"It was my fault for not listening to you before, or we could have avoided this disaster."

He also lost another brother. Ren Bang's heart ached so deeply at this moment, his eyes were filled with sorrow.

Ginger didn't know what to say. She sighed, "I was just offering a suggestion. I couldn't have predicted that things would actually happen this way."

The only thing she could do was protect the people around her. As for everything else, she was powerless.

"Alas!"

Ren Bang regretted shaking his head, not daring to delay, he called for people to start rescuing.

Worried about a second landslide, Jiang Wan stood to the side observing the situation. Song Jiuli took a deep breath.

"Sister-in-law, thank you for saving me."

There were still tears in the corner of her eyes, tears of relief after a harrowing ordeal.

Song Jiuxie, who had recovered from his stunned state, also softly thanked her, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

This is a heartfelt thank you, and it's also the first time he called her sister-in-law, which shows his recognition of Ginger's abilities.

Jiang Wan didn't pay attention to these things. At this moment, her eyes were filled with pity as they fell on the rubble pile. There, several living beings had been buried.

>If she had persisted at the time, she should have been able to avoid it. After all, she also had a sliver of hope in her heart.

Old Madam Song and Third Miss Song dug frantically, as if possessed. This time, the officials didn't even have time to pay them any mind.

Only until now did Song Chen realize that one person was still missing. He looked around, "Where is Aunt Duan"

"He...might also have been pressed down."

Shen Qianbai's face was pale and lifeless, her eyes vacant as she knelt on the ground, her soul seemingly lost.

"It was you, it had to be you who killed her!"

Song Erniang suddenly stepped forward, hating as she glared at Shen Qian and punched and kicked her, yelling in her mouth.

"What are we going to eat now that you killed her"

Jiang Wan only felt irony. The previous second, she had thought that Song Ernu had a bit of humanity, but it turned out she was just afraid that Duan Yiniang would die and no one would feed them.

If Aunt-in-law knew this cruel truth, she wouldn't know if she would still be willing to sacrifice herself for them.

Even the man she deeply loved only asked her one question and showed no sorrow at all.

"Stop!"

He held onto Song Erniang, who had gone mad, to protect Shen Qian. He and Shen Qian were a little far apart at the time, otherwise he would have definitely saved her.

This is our family business, none of your concern!

Song Chen gritted his teeth, anger rising in his eyes. One of his women had killed another woman, yet there was another man protecting his wife.

"It's wrong to hit people."

Xu Wei narrowed his eyes, "What happened just now was an accident, it has nothing to do with her."

"Are you surprised that we're in charge Mind your own business!"

Song Chen clenched his fist and glared fiercely at Shen Qian, who was so frightened that her body trembled.

“Shut up all of you, if anyone dares to cause trouble, I’ll kill him!”

Ren Bang was waving his whip, furious and ready to beat anyone he caught.

Facing his furious gaze, no one dared to cause a commotion anymore; they all just quietly helped clear the road.

After finishing his work, Ren Bang recorded the names and causes of death in his notebook with a somber expression. There were eight casualties this time.

One officer and seven convicts were killed, while others sustained minor injuries. He recorded the incident and then, in conjunction with the other officers, buried the deceased at the scene.

Standing there, Ginger's heart ached. On her side, Song Jiubian suddenly spoke.

"You... don't blame yourself, their death isn't your fault."

On the contrary, Ginger had reminded everyone before that they had unknowingly saved quite a few people. òй.

He was worried that Ginger might not understand, so he comforted her a few words.

Ginger shook her head, her eyes complex. “It’s not guilt, just that I feel life is so fragile.”

In the face of natural disasters, life is like a fragile porcelain doll, incredibly vulnerable.

Song Jiubian didn't refute, he just looked at the person in front of him with complex eyes.

"Mother, I was scared to death just now."

Song Jiuli held onto Song Daniu crying loudly. She had been so frightened just now that she had forgotten her sadness.

Looking at those newly erected graves, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine and burst into tears.

"Don't be afraid, mama's here."

Song Daniu patted Song Jiuli's back to comfort her. Besides them, relatives were also crying.

Some people harbor resentment towards Ren Bang, believing that it was his insistence on leaving that led to this situation. However, they dare not speak out and can only swallow their anger in silence.

After dealing with the bodies, they had to continue their journey. The road had already been cleared, so everyone just left.

However, the ground beneath their feet was still muddy. Everyone stumbled and fell along the way, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.

Ginger noticed Shen Qian sobbing and trailing behind Xu Wei, who would occasionally soothe her with gentle words.

And Song Chen, this fellow, actually endured it silently, saying nothing. He just stared at them with deep, unreadable eyes.

Ginger: ...

Oh my, is this saying that the concubine has passed away and Shen Qian took her place

Jiang Wan's mood was complicated, Song Jiu Li had a curious look on her face, "Sister-in-law, why is Shen Qian so close to that man"

She disliked Shen Qian and naturally, like Ginger Wan, paid close attention to Shen Qian's every move.

"You really want to know"

Ginger arched an eyebrow and said without mercy, "I'm afraid you'll vomit if you knew."

Song Jiuli: ...

She winked at Song Damo, and Song Damo sighed softly.

"Lier, don't ask so many questions. Just take care of our own affairs."

"Okay."

Song Jiu Li then fell silent, but after experiencing that terrifying event, everyone else was still shaken.

Every few steps, he walked cautiously. Although the village wasn't far away, Ren Bang planned to take everyone there to rest and resupply. Jiang Wan, with her sharp eyes, noticed that Xu Wei seemed off.o she gave him a quick reminder before falling asleep.In the middle of the night, Ginger was woken up shivering. What a damned weather! She got up and glanced around, noticing that there was no one b...
