C6 Born and Bred in Vain

So, his son really came back to life?

Soong Junlian was overjoyed. He hugged Chenchen's body excitedly and coaxed her for a long time, but his son just couldn't wake up. He immediately became anxious, "His vitals are already normal, why isn't he waking up?"

Tao Xiyuan thought to herself, According to the Mountain God Technique, his son has entered the state of a living dead! Just wait Chenchen, with your mother here, you will definitely live.

No matter how difficult it was, she had to get the title deed and activate the Mountain God Contract.

"I only heard of a side prescription. This water can keep my son's breath, but it can't wake him up," Tao Xiyuan said perfunctorily, "As long as he is still alive, I will definitely think of a way to save him."

"Master, the person is here."

A handsome young man suddenly walked in. He was dressed in a black robe, his clothes were neat and tidy, and he carried a long saber on his waist. He had a stern look on his face, and with one hand, he kicked a man to the ground, "Kneel down!"

"Pah!"

Dongfang Su spat on the ground, "Soong Junlian, you are only a High Scholar, yet you dare to act so arrogantly … Ah!"

Tao Xiyuan looked at Dongfang Su, who was dressed in a messy outfit and had a scarlet look in his eyes, and her eyes immediately turned red. Thinking about the suffering Chenchen had suffered, she wished she could cut this person into a thousand pieces. Before Dongfang Su could finish speaking, she fiercely stepped on his right leg, "You still dare to talk nonsense! Today, I will use your head as an offering to my son."

Dongfang Su did not expect her to be so strong. He immediately cried out in pain and almost fainted.

"Xi, he injured Chenchen with this leg?" Soong Junlian narrowed his eyes. When Tao Xiyuan nodded, a coldness flashed across his gentle face, "Muchen, cut off one of his legs first."

"Let's see who dares!"

The wooden door was suddenly kicked open. A beautiful lady dressed in gold and silver came to the door. Before Tao Xiyuan could see her face clearly, the woman glared at Soong Junlian and her, then squatted down and hugged Dongfang Su's body as she cried out, "My son, Su!"

Tao Xiyuan carefully sized up the woman. This woman was well-maintained. Her eyebrows were curved, and her eyes looked somewhat similar to Soong Junlian's. She immediately understood that the person who came was Dongfang Su's mother, Soong Qing.

Soong Junlian stood up without changing his expression. He tidied up his sleeves and respectfully bowed to Soong Qing. He said indifferently, "Greetings, Aunt."

Soong Qing looked at her son dotingly. When she raised her eyes to look at Soong Junlian, her face suddenly darkened, and a bit of killing intent appeared, "Soong Junlian! Do you still have me in your eyes? If I didn't help your father that day and generously lend him a helping hand, how would you be able to return home in glory today? You actually listened to the slanderous words of this poisonous woman and did such a thing to your cousin!"

Soong Junlian held Tao Xiyuan's hand and said coldly without changing his expression, "I, Soong Junlian, will never forget the kindness of the Soong family. It's just that I have been away from home for three years. Dongfang Su, this villain, did not care about his brotherhood. Not only did he bully my wife and children, he even colluded with a useless doctor to harm Chenchen! Aunt, the hatred of insulting your wife, the pain of losing your son, if I, Soong Junlian, do not seek justice, I will live my life as a human!"

Dongfang Su refused to admit it and shouted, "Nonsense! Tao Xiyuan was the one who seduced me first! What does it have to do with me that your son is dead?"

Before she could finish her sentence, Tao Xiyuan rushed over and slapped him hard on the face. "Dongfang Su, since you don't know how to speak human language, I'll teach you how to speak human language for your mother!"

Soong Qing was so angry that she trembled. She pointed at Tao Xiyuan and scolded, "You shrew! What bad luck did our Soong family have to have such a bastard like you! You stole the money first, then stole the child and killed him. In the end, you even instigated your husband to disrespect his elders and brothers, and you became the ungrateful person!"

Tao Xiyuan didn't take the bag and looked at her coldly. "What did I do?"

"You still don't want to admit it?"

Soong Qing looked at her hatefully. "I have witnesses here! Granny Zhang, bring the things up!"

"Here! Here!"

A middle-aged woman with a waist as big as a bucket and a hairy mole on her lips hurried in and took out a transparent jade pendant from the bag. There was a complicated ancient character carved on it. "Madam Song, this is the jade pendant that Tao Xiyuan stole!"

Soong Junlian's eyes widened when he saw this. He forgot to protect Tao Xiyuan and stared at the jade pendant in a daze. His expression became unfathomable.

Soong Qing said darkly, "Do you recognize this thing?"

Tao Xiyuan narrowed her eyes. Of course, she was familiar with this jade pendant.

There was a jade pendant like this in the gold and silver jewelry she dug out from under the tree. However, she was in a hurry and didn't see this jade pendant. She thought that she didn't take it out.

She didn't expect that it was picked up by Granny Zhang!

Tao Xiyuan glanced at Soong Junlian's expression and glanced around the house. Perhaps it was because of her golden finger, but she suddenly felt that there was a group of bailiffs and officials lying in ambush around the house.

It seemed that this thing was not simple!

Tao Xiyuan knew that there were a lot of treasures in the place where the silver was buried. It must be something extraordinary, but she didn't expect that it would still cause trouble.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Tao Xiyuan directly denied. In this situation, admitting it was a fool!

Granny Zhang sneered, "You still don't admit it! Someone is watching you fall down. If it's not yours, then who is it? This treasure is of great importance. Tao Xiyuan, you sure know how to steal."

Soong Qing held his son who was about to faint from the pain and stared coldly at Tao Xiyuan. He said to Soong Junlian, "This is the good wife you are protecting! Do you know what kind of person she is now?"

Soong Junlian kept silent and pursed his lips. Suddenly, a middle-aged man in a blue official uniform rushed in. He wore a majestic official hat and had a mustache. His face was dark and fat. It was the county magistrate of the county, Zhang Wenwang.

Soong Qing snorted coldly and changed her expression towards Zhang Wenwang. She fawned over him and handed him a silver note, "Official Zhang! These are the two criminals. You must punish them fairly!"

"Tao Xiyuan, this jade pendant is related to an important case of corruption in the imperial court. You are a criminal, and the Imperial Inspector is here to investigate this matter. Both of you are important suspects!"

Zhang Wenwang smiled as he borrowed the silver. He raised his hand and touched his moustache as he looked at Soong Junlian and Soong Qing with ridicule, "Capture them both, don't let them escape!"

Just as the two bailiffs were about to step forward, Soong Junlian protected Tao Xiyuan behind him and smiled, "Muchen, take my official seal."

He bent down slightly and looked at Official Zhang, who had a confused expression on his face, "I want to see which Imperial Inspector you are going to send to."

As he spoke, he hugged Tao Xiyuan and his eyes were filled with coldness.
