1120 The cries of bullies (2)

The next day Fu Yu Sheng found the address where the mother and daughter lived. The two of them lived in a small manor that was located in a sub-expensive residential area, it was a decent house but when compared to the Ji mansion it was a pity small. If her speculation was right then she had a feeling that this house might not be big enough to satisfy that person. 

The two of them stood out of the crowd thus when someone from the neighbourhood saw them, they could not help but take a second look at what was going on. One of the nosy women stepped forward and then looked at Song Yan and Fu Yu Sheng before asking, " Why are you staring at that house? Is there something the matter?" She sounded concerned and Song Yan noticed that the woman was keeping a distance from the manor. 

Her eyes flickered as she took off her sunglasses and then walked over to where the woman was, she looked at her clothes which were patched and frayed before taking out a card. Her eyes stared at the broken child courtyard at the forehead of the woman, even if it wasn't completely crumpled it was about to break very soon. 

" There is something that I want to talk to you about, your son is sick, right? I can help you pay for his treatment and in return, you only need to answer my questions, will that work for you?" She asked sweetly. Though Song Yan knew that she was looking like some thug who was coercing a sweet woman, she had to do it as she knew that this woman knew more about the ones who once lived in this house. 

The woman looked at the shiny black card and pursed her lips, she was indeed a need of money and from the looks of it, this woman seemed to know it. She blinked her eyes and took a shaky breath before she said, " Very well come with me." 

After agreeing with Song Yan, that woman brought her and Fu Yu Sheng to her house. The house she lived in was much smaller than the one at which Song Yan and Fu Yu Sheng were looking just now, however, it was much homely and warm when compared to the house where the mother and daughter lived. 

" Ask," the woman sat down and asked her daughter to bring some tea before turning to look at Song Yan and Fu Yu Sheng. 

" First of all, I am really sorry for bothering you, Madam Liang," she had already read the nameplate on the door, thus she knew the names of those who were living in this house. " But I wanted to ask you about the mother and daughter pair who lived at the mansion. You know about them right?"

Madam Liang expected Song Yan to ask about Xue Ping and Yi Yu, she was in fact not even surprised that someone came to look for them and was asking about them. She took a deep breath and then directly replied, " Are you here to ask about the mother or the daughter?" 

" The mother," Song Yan stated. She blinked her eyes and smiled in a polite manner before saying, "It's just that I heard from someone that the mother was scared of her daughter but that was not the case was it?" 

Madam Liang pushed her glasses up on her nose, she had a tired-looking face and a bun tied on top of her head. She nodded and then said, " Thats right, she wasn't like that before. Many do not know but Xue Ping was not Yi Yu's biological mother, she was her stepmother brought by her father who was close to dying." 

" What do you mean by that Madam Liang?" Song Yan asked. 

" To be honest, Yi Yu was born unlucky. Her mother died when she was young and soon her father was affected by a deadly disease which led to further troubles, he did not want to leave his daughter alone as he was an orphan and Yi Yu's mother's family was strictly patriarchal, they wouldn't have taken care of Yi Yu which was why he married another woman. At first, Xue Ping was really nice and she took care of Yi Yu without any hassle but after the death of Master Yi, she took a sudden turn. She became selfish and greedy, she started buying all sorts of things and there was no such thing as saving in her heart, she did not even earn but was always a big spender and Yi Yu was suppressed under her palm." 

" However then the will of Master Yi came out and he mentioned that he was leaving everything to Yi Yu and that locked Xue Ping out. She could no longer make big expenses as she wanted to, more importantly, she was jealous of the little Yi Yu who was more good-looking than her. This only pushed the bullying up to another level."

 

Madam Liang then paused as her daughter returned with tea. She watched her daughter pour tea into the cups before asking her to leave, she then took a sip of her tea and said to Song Yan, " However then the situation turned completely around, Yi Yu was in charge and it was Xue Ping who was listening to her everyone said that it was because of the will which gave a backbone to Yi Yu." She paused a second time and lowered her voice before saying, " Only I know that it wasn't the case, three days after the will was sorted out, Xue Ping invited a celestial master to her place." 

" You did not tell anyone?" Fu Yu Sheng questioned with a frown causing the woman to smile wretchedly, " How dare I? I am a widow and the mother of two children, how can I get involved in such a dangerous thing? What if they harm me instead?"
