One had to know that the incident had happened more than 2 years ago and if not for that incident, then the boy would have been in Little Jia's class or maybe even a year older.
Yuan Meng who sat at the back had her lips pursed as she knew just who was the man that the woman who was said to have lost her sense was.
It was the same Corpse General who had tried to harm Ye Qian and wanted to take her away.
As for Ning Wei, she seemed to not be paying any kind of attention and was busy thinking of something else.
And from the looks of it, she looked pretty much haunted by whatever she was thinking about.
Meanwhile, Mrs Ji continued.
"And she even said that the man killed her son right before her eyes, she wanted to yell and shout, but no words would come out of her throat."
Mrs Ji subconsciously shuddered thinking about this.
She was sure that no mother would even dare to think of something like this, much less tell about this to others.
"Many times, I felt that whatever she said was all true, I mean, how...how can a mother imagine of her child being killed before her eyes, but the doctors said that she had gone through a trauma and it's her imagination that is making her believe that she had seen something like that."
Mrs Ji shook her head taking a deep breath.
"But I don't know what really happened to her, after a few months of her drawling about what had happened, and how her son was killed, she suddenly stopped saying all that, and would only remain completely silent."
"She then suddenly started reading old books, the books which were from the ages before."
"But her parents also didn't stop her since she was not crying or weeping over what had happened and was moving forward."
Mrs Ji pursed her lips and continued.
"But then, she suddenly started to babble many things which no one would understand what she was talking about."
Ye Qian nodded.
He knew what might have happened.
Since she understood that no one was going to believe her, there was no point in her continuing to yell out about it and she started to find out just what it was that caused her life to take such a miserable turn.
Ye Qian could understand how she got the idea of using a Divine Weapon against the Corpse General for killing him.
But the question was still there.
Where did she even find that Divine Weapon?
Just as Ye Qian was about to ask her more about where Shu Jie used to live and about her husband who had left her after she lost her mind, Little Jia who was thinking about something all this long asked while pulling her mother's hand.
"But Mom, aren't we staying with Aunt Meng and Qiqi now too?"
Ye Qian and Yuan Meng were about to say something to soothe the little girl's curiosity when something happened that caused both of them to frown.
"Jia, shut up!"
Ning Wei yelled at the little girl while her eyes were filled with helplessness and ire.
"Wei!"
Ye Qian turned around quickly only to see the little girl's lips quivering as moistness started to well up in her big eyes.
"Ummmmmm."
"I...I am sorry."
Understanding what she had just done, Ning Wei's eyes also turned moist.
It was not due to sadness, but due to the helplessness and anger that she had for herself and for why she could not tell what had happened to her before to anyone.
"Jia..., I am sorry."
All she could do was say these words and not even have the courage to get her daughter into her embrace wanting to coax her and stop her from crying.
It was because she knew that she would not be able to control herself as well if she were to do that and start crying her heart out.
She could only look at Yuan Meng with a plea and beg her to help her with Jia this time.
Yuan Meng also saw the pleading look in her eyes and nodded.
"Jia, come here, your mom is not feeling well, she didn't want to scold you."
"Umm sniff....sniff."
Yuan Meng embraced the crying little girl and sighed in her heart looking at Ning Wei from the corner of her eyes.
Ning Wei was staring out of the window and she knew that she was also crying and didn't want them to see.
It could be said that this was the first time ever that Ning Wei had scolded Little Jia.
So for the little girl, this kind of happening was completely new.
Meanwhile, in the front, Mrs Ji looked at the mother and daughter through the mirror and sighed in her heart.
Although she didn't know what it was, from the looks of it and being a mother that there was something that Ning Wei was hiding, and it was not just anything simple, it was something that hurt her every time she remembered it and she also didn't want her daughter to learn about this either.
Of course, Yuan Meng also felt that, but she didn't try to peer into Ning Wei fearing that her reaction would be somewhat similar to this and things might not remain as they were before between them.
'Wei, why would you do something like this?'
Ye Qian muttered in his heart as he looked at the little girl who was crying in Yuan Meng's embrace.
He knew that Ning Wei was a bit emotional and sometimes would overreact, but he was sure that she would have never acted like this with Little Jia.
But this time, she had.
And the reason was something that he had to know.
It was because, without getting to the core of this, Ning Wei would always remain restless in her heart and that would also affect the little girl.
