Mo Qi noticed the perplexed expression on her face and, after satisfying his desire to boast, he explained, “Your Highness selected an auspicious location, invested a considerable sum, and informed the villagers to relocate the graves of their departed loved ones. The villagers voluntarily participated in the exhumation and, incidentally, dug out Sun Wangcai’s grave.”
Su Yingxue’s eyes brightened. “Your Highness is truly remarkable!”
“Of course!” Mo Qi proudly raised his chin.
Had there ever been a moment when his master was not impressive?
Mo Qi thoughtfully informed Su Yingxue, “Your Highness arranged for the villagers to relocate the graves in your name, Miss Su. Now, with Granny Sun, you can proceed with the autopsy.”
Su Yingxue nodded without delay. She instructed Manager Qi to accompany Granny Sun and the child and swiftly departed for the village beyond the city.
Lai San followed as well, ensuring he stayed close to Granny Sun to prevent any impulsive acts on her part.
The group soon arrived at the village outside the city. Here, dozens of households, all impoverished tenants, had contributed efforts to move their departed relatives’ graves. Some had even received compensation, motivating them to work even harder.
Especially when they were moving their relatives’ graves and were paid, they naturally worked even harder.
Granny Sun came to the hill and saw that the graves here had been dug out. She exclaimed anxiously, “What’s going on? Why are you all digging up these graves?”
“Old Madam Sun, you just returned and might not be aware. There’s a benevolent soul in the city who bought a piece of land for a new cemetery and helped relocate the graves of all the deceased from our village. Everyone is busy!”
Granny Sun’s expression suddenly changed, and she reacted with urgency. “You… You’ve gone too far! Who allowed you to disturb my son’s grave? My son!”
The well-meaning neighbor, who was pushed by Granny Sun, stumbled and rolled his eyes in response. “Madwoman! You don’t appreciate a kind deed!”
“Let’s go, let’s do our work! Father’s grave hasn’t been buried yet! Ignore this madwoman!”
The man carrying the coffin accidentally bumped into the man’s arm. The four of them hoisted the coffin and proceeded to the new burial site.
Granny Sun rushed to her son’s grave, which had already been dug up, and a fine-quality coffin lay on the ground. Granny Sun immediately hugged it and glared warily at Su Yingxue. “None of you can touch my son! Don’t even think about it! You can’t bully us orphans and widows just because you have more people!”
“Son! Mother is powerless! You won’t rest in peace, and you’re going to be exhumed!”
“My son…”
Su Yingxue led her group, but before they could draw near, Granny Sun was already wailing, drawing the attention of numerous onlookers.
These villagers were from the same community and often interacted with one another. Seeing Granny Sun in such a pitiful state on the ground, a few strong and youthful men brandished their shovels and hoes in Su Yingxue’s direction. “Who are you? How dare you harass Granny Sun!”
“Brothers, it’s all a misunderstanding! We’re from Tongchang Medical Center. Today, we’re here to escort Granny Sun back and assist in relocating her son’s grave. Please, don’t harm anyone!” Lai San was well-versed in dealing with people, especially those from the lower strata of society.
Upon hearing his words and recognizing that he wasn’t a high-ranking official, their wariness lessened.
Su Yingxue cast an appreciative glance at Lai San before returning her gaze to Granny Sun. “Granny Sun, your family’s situation is presumably not ideal, and this coffin couldn’t have been purchased without twenty taels of silver.. How did you ensure your son’s peaceful rest in this coffin?”
