Chapter 1430: What did we ever do to you?
hehehe.**********
******** Song Yan pushed the iron gates of the mansion,
which hadn\'t been properly oiled and taken care of. Because of this, the gates made a churning and creaking sound when she pushed them open.
Since this was the place where Madam Chu and her family lived for years, her father had left it alone. However, he did not sell the house as this house also held the memories of their mother and his wife.
"Are you sure that the corpse of your mother is here?" Fang Yanli hoped that Song Yan\'s suspicions were not correct because if Madam Song\'s body was buried in this very house, then not only Song Yan but everyone in the Song family would never forgive themselves.
"It\'s just a hunch," Song Yan clenched her fingers as she strode inside the house. With Fang Yanli by her side, she first searched the first floor before moving on to the second and then reached the third where Madam Chu used to live with her uncle.
She pushed open the bedroom door where Madam Chu used to sleep and looked around. Even though she did not sense any yin energy, Song Yan knew that this room was different from the rest.
It was colder than the rest of the rooms where she had searched and two extra heaters were not in use sitting at the corner of the room.
"Yan Yan..." Fang Yanli also noticed the change in this room, the last time when they came to this place they did not sense anything amiss. It must be because of the array that was suppressing the yin energy and hiding the existence of Song Yan\'s mother\'s soul like it was not here.
Like it never existed.
Song Yan gritted her teeth, her hands were trembling but when she raised her hand and bit her thumb, her actions were determined. As blood pooled on the spot where Song Yan had bitten, she raised her hand in front of her and then started drawing a Revelation array.
Crackle.
Boom.
The sound of waves rising and falling echoed in Song Yan\'s head as she continued to draw the array. Bit by bit the array that was drawn by the dark master to hide the existence of her mother\'s soul was revealed and Song Yan\'s heart that was hanging in her chest fell to the bottom of her stomach.
Who knew where it fell because Song Yan couldn\'t even feel the beating of her heart anymore?
She stepped forward and then slammed her hand down on the array while injecting her spiritual energy inside of it as she drew the counter array to break it with the Blood Quill.
With each inscription that was broken the yin energy inside the room was revealed. The array was strong enough to resist Song Yan\'s spiritual energy but Song Yan\'s will to find her mother was stronger.
As time passed, bit by bit the array was completely shattered.
And the yin energy that had been suppressed revealed itself in full force.
Fang Yanli closed her eyes while Song Yan turned to look at the bed that was sitting in the middle of the room.
Under the bed, she could feel the resentment that had been building for years.
With her feet automatically moving to the bed, Song Yan raised her hand and flicked a burning talisman that burned down the bed before turning it into ashes.
As the bed slowly turned into a pile of ash, the mismatched flooring under it was revealed. Even if Song Yan had not lived in this house for more than ten years, she could see that the marbled flooring under the bed was not the same as the rest of the room.
This marble was something that her mother exported from City I.
It was the smoothest and most beautiful marble that was so expensive that many chose it with care.
Someone like Madam Chu couldn\'t have known that the white marble flooring was different from the one that she had chosen. As her eyes lacked the vision that her mother had.
"Yanli, pull open the flooring," Song Yan said to Fang Yanli. Even though her voice was calm, Fang Yanli knew that she was restraining herself.
Not wanting to push Song Yan when she was giving it her all to control the loss of her temper, Fang Yanli flew over to where Song Yan was standing.
She summoned the burning blue lion claws and then started pulling the marble flooring.
The blue flames burned the flooring but it did not burn anything else.
Bit by bit Fang Yanli pulled the flooring, and once the flooring was pulled off, the inside of the floor was revealed.
Fang Yanli gasped while Song Yan clenched her fingers. It was her fault, it was her fault that she underestimated the shamelessness of Madam Chu!
Inside the small crater under the uplifted flooring, a large teddy bear was buried but the bear smelled of rotten flesh and blood.
Under the bear, there was a large magic circle drawn with blood. There were also multiple arrays and restraining talismans thrown on the floor as well as the body of the teddy bear. Song Yan narrowed her eyes and stared at the teddy bear that was lying in the centre of the array. Even though she knew what was inside of it, even though she had prepared herself for this moment many times--
Now that she was facing it, she couldn\'t even move.
Her feet seemed to have been glued to the flooring and she dared not to make a move.
However, after a while, she finally snapped out of her thoughts and took a step forward, then another one and another one. She continued to walk until she was standing in front of the human-sized teddy bear.
Song Yan crouched down and then with her trembling hands, she clutched the teddy bear\'s head and pulled it apart.
Rustle.
The head of the teddy bear was thrown to one side and the skull inside of it was revealed. The flesh on the bones had rotten long ago and only a little was left.
However, even though there was nothing to prove that this was her mother\'s body, Song Yan knew it was her mother.
Her mother was a woman who was elegant and kind. With wits sharper than many and beauty that could make people shy away, was killed and stuffed inside a teddy bear.
Her soul was torn into two pieces, one was trapped somewhere else while Madam Chu tormented the other half of her mother\'s soul.
Her mother, who did not know that her father had been replaced with someone else, must have believed that her father had been bewitched by Madam Chu. She must have believed that the man sleeping with Madam Chu was her father.
How many nights she must have suffered under this bed? How many times she would have cursed herself for trusting a white-eyed snake?
"Mother! Mother! MOTHER!"
"АНННН!!!"
"I AM SORRY! I AM SORRY, I COULD NOT PROTECT YOU!"
"I am sorry!" Song Yan hugged the body of her mother, she found no disgust in doing so as this woman was her mother, even in her death she would be her mother.
Her poor mother whose kindness killed her.
Tears flowed down Song Yan\'s cheeks as she hugged her mother and cried. However, no matter how many times she called out her mother. No matter how many times her arms embraced her mother--the warmth that Song Yan used to feel in the arms of her mother was
gone.
Because her mother was gone. Leaving her alone in this world where no one could take the
position of her mother.

On the other side,
Song Dong Ming walked inside the small basement where he had locked Madam Chu. He kicked open the door of the basement as he strode towards Madam Chu.
The woman who was once dressed in elegant clothes was now dressed in rags. Her hair which had been once neatly permed and styled was matted and in a mess.
When she saw the shiny leather shoes approaching her Madam Chu raised her head and looked
at Song Dong Ming.
Her parched lips curled up in a smirk and she said to the man, "What\'s wrong? Are you here to ask me where your wife\'s corpse is? If that is the case then you can forget about it. I am not
going to tell you."
"What did I and my wife even do to you?" Song Dong Ming asked. "What did we ever do to you that you had to kill my wife in such a ruthless manner!? What did we do to you other than feed and give you a place to stay when you had nowhere to go? Why did you have to torment my wife even in her death!" ********************* ***************[My dear fairies can you please send a few golden tickets and gifts along with comments and power stones?
