Chapter 742: Kill My Family Out of Righteousness
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
They had called Lin Yaxiang over for two reasons.
One was to scare Xie Pinghuai, and the other was to ask her if she had ever drowned a baby girl like the old woman they caught today.
Xie Pinggang was a bad person himself. He used to be a bandit, but he knew that he had to abide by the rules in his line of work.
What was a midwife?
It was a way to survive!
If she drowned baby girls, they would not get in contact with the Lin family anymore.
Moreover, now that he was handling this case, if there were people deliberately looking for trouble, they would definitely look into Lin Yaxiang’s past. If she had killed babies before, by then, they would definitely force him to punish Lin Yaxiang.
Hence, he asked Lin Yaxiang to make some preparations in advance. That was right… to be prepared to be killed by him.
Of course, Xie Pinggang still had some confidence in the Lin family.
That Master Lin was a doctor after all, and his family raised many girls. It seemed that the daughter he raised should be different from other midwives.
Zhou Weizong could not wait any longer. “Let’s talk about this tomorrow… My cousin…”
“Brother Zhou, you don’t understand. In my line of work, I have to make sure that my family and friends are clean. Otherwise, someone will force me to kill my family out of righteousness, right? After all, they’re my relatives. How could I not tell them before I destroy them?”
The corner of Zhou Weizong’s mouth twitched.
Whoever his relatives were, they would have bad luck for eight generations!
“You’re right! Where’s my cousin?!” Zhou Weizong said again.
“What’s the rush? Come here. I’ll get someone to call Master Yu over. Why don’t you pay your respects first?” Xie Pinggang said again.
“Condolences!” Zhou Weizong was shocked. “What… happened to your family?”
After Zhou Weizong said that, he vaguely heard some crying noise.
“My good-for-nothing eldest sister and younger brother are dead. I don’t want you to do anything. I just want to go to the coffin and say a few words of regret, and at the same time, comfort me,” Xie Pinggang said.
Zhou Weizong froze. “What did you say?”
Princess Consort! She was… dead?!
“Actually, my younger brother is dead, and my eldest sister is still alive, but… To be honest, her health is lacking, so this funeral should have been done a long time ago. However, she has been struggling for her life until now, and I haven’t planned for it. Now that she’s about to get married, I’m afraid that I won’t have the chance to hold a funeral for her at home in the future, so I’ll make up for it in advance. Don’t worry.” Xie Pinggang chuckled.

Zhou Weizong was about to go out of his mind. “How can you make such a joke?! The status of the Princess Consort is precious. If we offended her…”
“How would we offend her? She’s not the Princess Consort yet! I can’t get involved in my sister’s matter anymore? Besides, the old is dead and the new is alive. I’ve already taken care of the funeral. When the King of Hell sends the ox-headed and horse-faced demons to pick her up, they’ll leave when they can’t find her. Her name will be stricken from the book of death. Won’t she be at peace in the future?” Xie Pinggang was spouting nonsense at this moment.
He was so unreasonable.
“His Highness…”
“Don’t tell His Highness. My sister has made her own decision. What should you tell His Highness? She hasn’t gotten married yet!” Xie Pinggang’s tone was flat, “Look, there’s only a white cloth hanging in my brother’s courtyard. Nowhere else in the house has that, so it won’t be spread out. Don’t worry!”
Zhou Weizong was anxious.
No, when he returned, he had to tell His Highness!
“When you enter the courtyard, don’t talk nonsense. You have to treat it as if my sister is dead, understand?” Xie Pinggang patted Zhou Weizong’s back and reminded him aggressively.
Zhou Weizong nodded helplessly.
