Chapter 1030 Where is the corpse ——2
Chen Bian was startled by Song Yan's question but she thought about it carefully and then replied, " I .. I don't know. I am a teacher and I was working at the county's school when the house help at my house said that Tan Mo caught a fever. So I had to bring her to the capital," she then turned to look Tan Si before continuing, " I had no idea that something like this was haunting us."
She paused and then asked Song Yan, " Did …Did something happen, Master Song?"
" Strictly speaking, yes," Song Yan nodded and then looked at Chen Bian before saying, " Can we speak somewhere else?"
Though the two daughters of the Tan couple seemed to have an idea about the ghost woman, she did not want to scare them too much.
When Chen Bian heard Song Yan's request she immediately nodded and then called her daughter's nanny to take care of her daughters before stepping out of the ward with Song Yan. She did not even glance at Tan Si as she headed out of the ward, it wasn't that she did not know that Tan Si was messing around with mistresses but because of her daughters, she did not say anything.
However now because of Tan Si and his family, her daughters were in danger. How can she not be upset? It would be a miracle if she could stomach such a thing happening without showing a bit of anger!
Song Yan glanced at Tan Si who no longer dared to raise his head and smirked before following Chen Bian. She ignored Tan Si who came after the two of them and headed towards the waiting room.
" You can tell me what's going on, Master Song," Chen Bian respectfully asked Song Yan while ignoring her husband who came to stand inside the waiting room silently.
Song Yan did not reply instead she sat down on the couch and then raised her head to look at the Tan couple before crossing her shins and smiling, " This matter is simple. Either your house help is lying or your daughters are, I guess you did not ask Tan Li about what happened to her sister right?"
Just now she did not ignore Tan Li shaking her head at Tan Mo. Clearly, that little girl knew something but she was refusing to speak causing her sister to suffer.
Song Yan turned her head to the side and then picked up the strand of fabric on her black dress before flicking it away with her forefinger and thumb. Only then did she turn to look at Tan Si and Chen Bian who were frowning before continuing, " Your eldest daughter knows something. Most probably, she had a very good idea why your youngest daughter fell sick but she is not willing to speak. And I will be honest with you, if she doesn't speak then I will not be able to help your youngest. Just so you know her life is in danger once again."
She raised her hand and then studied her fingernails before saying, " If you want this matter to come to an end, get your eldest to speak up."
When Chen Bian heard Song Yan's words, she was so scared that her legs trembled. She no longer cared whether Tan Li was scared or not after the accident, she somehow managed to stumble out of the room before rushing to Tan Li's ward and then dragged Tan Li out of the room.
" Mom, I don't know anything!" At the age of eleven, Tan Li was quite rebellious. She looked at her mother and tried to get away from her, she did not want to talk to her mom or the weird lady dressed in black!
" You,… Li Li, I am being patient with you !" Chen Bian cared for both of her daughters. But it did not mean that she did not know that Tan Li was much more stubborn and opportunistic than her younger daughter. " Your sister's life is in danger, how can you stay quiet?"
" Who cares!" Tan Li glared at her mother and then threw her hand away just in time as the two stepped inside the ward. " The lady in the house said that it's all because of Momo that dad doesn't come back home. If Momo was a boy then father would be willing to come back home, so aren't I helping you by doing this?"
Tan Li's words caused Tan Si to lower his head even more, he always thought that he would never become someone like his father and yet he became just like him! No even worse than him.
Song Yan glanced at Tan Si's regretful face before turning to look at Tan Li, she lowered her body like a snake readying itself to strike. With her eyes no longer smiling, she looked at Tan Li who stiffened and whispered, " Little one, do you know? If you help a stranger you will end up being eaten."
" You are lying!" Tan Li stiffened after hearing Song Yan's words but then the latter suddenly smiled and said, " I am not. If you don't tell the truth then the strange woman will come to eat you as well. If you want to save your life, speak the truth. Did your teacher not tell you that you shouldn't believe in strangers and never listen to them?"
Tan Li sulked for a while before she turned to look at Chen Bian who urged her to say what was going on, only then did Tan Li hesitate and then replied,? " T…There is a lady in our house. She comes out at night and looks for my sister and me after midnight …last night she told me that if I take Momo to the attic and leave her there then Father would come looking for me." She then turned to look at Chen Bian before saying, " I did not know that she would fall sick mom, I just wanted to see Dad."
" You…" Chen Bian was so angry that she wanted to hit Tan Li but she knew that it wasn't the fault of the child. She glared at Tan Si before turning to look at Song Yan who tapped on the armrest of the couch before asking, " Master, what is the meaning of this?"
" It means that the grudge field is in your attic, the corpse of that woman lies in your attic, Madam Tan."
