After hearing what Su Zipei said, Grandpa Mu’s face changed and he stared at her.
“It was an accident.”
“The police will investigate it. As for her…” Su Zipei pointed at Mu Tangxue and said, “I believe that nobody would know better than her is what really happened that night. Just the same as what happened to Grandma Mu in the bedroom of this house. She would be very clear about it.”
“The police cannot take the words out of her mouth for now. But when that day comes, I anticipate that you will, again, try to shut her mouth up for good.”
‘Shut her mouth up for good.’ When Mu Tangxue heard it, she turned pale.
“Zipei, everything you said is just your speculation. Where is the proof?” Grandpa Mu acted cool and looked at Su Zipei. Then, he said, “If you cannot show me your proof before coming here and shaming us, I can sue you for slander.”
“I would want to know if your son would allow you to do so.” Su Zipei sneered and said, “I do not want to waste my time here. Anyway, my sister is dead and nobody else other than Mu Tangxue knows the truth.”
“You should let us go now.”
“So, if you do not want things to get worse, you better give me my sister’s body. If that scumbag wants to keep her body, I will definitely make a big deal about this. And I am curious to see if the Mu family can still withstand the pressure of this ordeal.”
“Are you threatening me?” asked Grandpa Mu with shock.
“That is right, I am threatening you. I am all alone, there is nothing I can lose.”
Grandpa Mu snorted. In the end, he nodded and said, “I will discuss it with my damn son. But you need to give me some time.”
“It is just a phone call, how long will it take? Well, I want an answer before six tonight.” Su Zipei was no longer a punk after going through all this mess. She became much stronger and braver, like a soldier wearing her armor, protecting Mu Qiqi when she had no one to rely on.
Grandpa Mu looked sick. But he nodded and said, “Okay.”
“So, excuse me.” Su Zipei stood up. She bowed to Grandpa Mu again. When she turned around, she glared at Mu Tangxue coldly. She said, “As for you, you will know how inferior you are to Qiqi.”
She finished her sentence and left the house.
When she got downstairs, she saw Mu Qiqi who came to fetch her.
“Aunt.”
“So you are awake.” Su Zipei held Mu Qiqi and got into the car. She said, “Don’t worry, I will take care of this. I will not let my sister see these filthy people anymore. So as for you, don’t meet them anymore. They are just rubbish. I do not believe that that old man doesn’t know his son’s deeds.”
“And as for the incident of your grandmother’s passing, I think Grandpa Mu is just siding with Mu Tangxue blindly. After all that had happened, he should know how evil she is, but he still thinks that you are the culprit. He does not even want to know the truth. So, you do not have to take it to heart anymore.”
Mu Qiqi was so moved to see her aunt defend her.
Although she had lost her mother, she still had her aunt.
“Aunt, I feel so assured with you by my side.”
“If so, go seek your happiness. Young Master Sheng will help you block away all the obstacles in front of you, and I will back you up from behind.”
After hearing her words, Mu Qiqi teared up and hugged Su Zipei. She said, “Aunt, I promise I will protect you when I get stronger.”
Su Zipei looked at Mu Qiqi. Mu Qiqi was so warm-hearted but Mu Tangxue was so cold-hearted.
How could the two twin sisters be so different?
But it was not the time to think about this.
Besides getting back Mama Mu’s body, Su Zipei and Sheng Xiao wanted to figure out Mu Qiqi’s identity as soon as possible.
After Su Zipei left the house, Grandpa Mu looked at Mu Tangxue.
He was thinking about what Su Zipei said to him. He called Mu Tangxue to come forward.
“Xue’er, come here.”
“Grandpa.”
“Come, I will not do anything to you. I just want to ask what really happened that night when the house was on fire?”
Mu Tangxue shook her head and cried. She said, “Grandpa, I really don’t know why. That night, when I was awakened by the smoke, I immediately opened the windows. Then, I wanted to go and look for my mother but the door got stuck. I could not open the door no matter how hard I tried. I could hear my mother’s faint voice. She was telling me not to get out.”
“I was very scared so I wanted to call the police but I could not find my mobile phone.”
“Then, the police came and told me to jump out of the window. I was so useless. After I jumped, I fainted right away. If not, the police might have been able to save Mommy in time.”
Grandpa Mu nodded after hearing the explanation. He said, “If what you tell me is true, then your mother was trying to save you when she asked you not to get out of the room. The fire started from the kitchen, so the living room and the staircase must have been on fire by then. And your room is the furthest from the kitchen. It does make sense…”
“Xue’er, are you sure about what you are telling me today?”
“Grandpa, I swear. I would be struck by lightning if I lied.”
Grandpa Mu nodded and said, “Then it is only appropriate to let your aunt handle your mother’s funeral.”
Whether what Mu Tangxue said is true or false, it all depended on her.
Of course she would not tell the old man the truth because if she told him she doubted her father, the old man would definitely question Papa Mu.
If it happened, she did not know what Papa Mu would do to her.
What Su Zipei said did remind her that her father could really shut her mouth up for good.
After what happened to Mommy, how could she not learn her lesson?
Later, Mu Tangxue went into her room and took out her mother’s rings, the rings that her mother never took off from her fingers.
Then, she saw something on the inside of the ring. They seemed like names engraved on the ring.
Looking more closely, she could read the words even though there were scratch marks on them. Shen Jianchuan & Su Ziqing.
