Luo Lingwei quickly made Xiaoqing tell her the news she had heard.
It turned out that Xiaoqing had gone to inquire about Sun Xiu's information, but did not know about it. As soon as she did, she was startled. This Sun Xiu had actually married his own mistress.
This was originally what had happened. Sun Dalong was around 40 years old. He had traveled the four seas before and had seen a lot. He had always been alone, but once he was secretly killed. Fortunately, there was a family that saved him, at that time Sun Dalong was in dire straits, and he could not repay them, he could only split a piece of jade into two and gave one half to the family, promising them, if they ever had trouble, they could rely on this to find him, even if he had to go through fire and water, he would definitely repay this debt of gratitude.
Later, Sun Delong came to Ping An County. Because of his kung fu skills, he was promoted by the county magistrate to be the head of the county magistrate.
Not long after, someone came to Sun Dalong's house. It was Sun Xiu. This Sun Xiu was originally the son of Sun Dalong's benefactor, and was only eleven or twelve when he arrived. He told Sun Dalong that his hometown had been affected by famine, and that his parents had brought him here to escape.
Sun Dalong couldn't help shedding tears as he heard this. He kowtowed in the direction of his benefactor's hometown and brought Sun Xiu home to take him in as a disciple. Sun Xiu usually called him foster father.
This year, Sun Delong was in his early forties. The county magistrate saw that he had done many good deeds for the county, and the people respected him. However, he was still alone, so he made the decision to give the county's girls to him.
The girl's surname was Song, and she was born with a face full of shyness. After the two of them got married, they were also very fond of each other. Since he had been taught some martial arts by Sun Dalong since he was young, coupled with the fact that Sun Dalong had pleaded for mercy from the county magistrate, he could be considered to have accepted a job at the yamen. Being a jailer in the county magistrate's office and watching over the criminals could be considered as having been a bit of an effort. After Madame Song and Sun Delong were married, Sun Xiu moved out of Sun Delong's house.
Just like that, the two families lived peacefully together for two to three years. Last year, Sun Dalong and Yang Jiexian were cursing on the street, and Yang said that he would die that night. Sun Delong was so angry that his entire body was trembling. He heard from the neighbors that Sun Delong was still drinking and cursing at home that night, and that he had also scared a child in the neighborhood. As a result, when he was young, he heard the Sun family fall into chaos. First, the Song Family shouted, "Master, where are you going?!"
Not long after, he heard the Sun family's maidservants and Madam Song shouting in the courtyard.
"Oh no! Master has jumped into the ocean! "
That night, the neighborhood helped Madame Song find Sun Dalong. In the end, they didn't even find a corpse.
The next day, Madame Song could only cry. There was nothing she could do but to give Sun Dalong a memorial grave. He also invited some people to help Sun Dalong deal with this matter, which exceeded the scope of Sun Dalong's death.
After the legal affairs were done, everyone came to persuade Madame Song that since she was already gone and you were still so young, you should find another family to marry to if you had the chance.
When Madame Song heard this, she told the people around her that she would not remarry and would be the widow of Sun Delong.
Because Madame Song had a good appearance and was very considerate in everything she did, there were many matchmakers who came to speak up for the county's rich, but they were all invited out by Madame Song.
Later on, the Song family did not hold back, and spread the word that if the matchmaker came again to protect the media, he could agree to it, but he had three conditions.
First, that person can only have the surname 'Sun'.
Secondly, he was not qualified. He wanted the groom to marry into the Sun family and become a member of the Sun family. This way, he could be considered as being worthy of Sun Dalong.
Third, since his husband was working at the yamen, he had to be a member of the yamen.
When these three conditions were put forward, the front door of the Song Clan became quiet. When the matchmakers heard this request, they knew that Mrs. Song was making things difficult for them. Thus, they didn't have the nerve to propose marriage for her anymore.
However, just as the Song Family finished their lunch and was about to rest for the afternoon, they heard a maidservant report from outside, saying that Madame Wang was here to act as a mediator.
Madame Song rolled her eyes at the maidservant and asked her to invite Madame Wang in.
Unexpectedly, after Madame Wang came in, Madame Song did not remember to open her mouth. Instead, she told Madame Song about the person who came to protect the media this time, leaving her speechless.
The matchmaker was none other than Sun Xiu. His surname was Sun, and he was a messenger at the yamen. More importantly, he was willing to marry into the yamen.
Now, she had no other choice. She had said what she wanted to say, so it was impossible for her to take it back. And just like that, the Song Family married Sun Xiu.
However, what was surprising was that after the marriage, Madame Song and Sun Xiu were still very affectionate. The Song family also had a lot of spring on their faces, as if they were happier than when they married Sun Dalong.
From the beginning to the end, Luo Lingwei had thought there was no problem with this matter. The only thing that was suspicious was why Sun Dalong had jumped into the sea for no reason at all. If he did not grab hold of Yang Half Immortal earlier, this matter would have become a mystery. But now that he had caught Yang Half Immortal, and Yang Half Immortal admitted that he was a swindler, there was no such thing as a life or death situation.
Moreover, Luo Lingwei and the rest did not believe this to be true, so this was what Luo Lingwei and the others had found strange.
Especially since Yang Half Immortal died in jail, and he almost got caught because of that. Among them, there was the shadow of Sun Xiu. With this thought, Luo Lingwei and the others were sure that this matter was related to Sun Xiu.
Also, perhaps Sun Dalong's death was related to Sun Xiu.
"Sister Weiwei, should we interfere?" Xiaoqing, who was at the side, asked Luo Lingwei for her opinion.
After all, he had only been given two years on this trip. Currently, he had already wasted quite a bit of time, and if he were to continue delaying like this, then who knows when he would be able to complete this quest. Moreover, there were definitely a lot of troublesome matters waiting for him in the future.
"Xiaobai, what do you think?"
At this time, Luo Lingwei had no idea what to do, so she could only ask them for their opinion.
The few of them thought about it, but did not say anything. They all knew that Luo Lingwei was thinking about the lack of time, so she didn't want to interfere. But at this moment, she was unable to say that she did not care about this matter, so she needed someone to give her a way out.
"Esteemed Empress, your subordinate believes …" Before Zhang Long could finish his words, he was caught by Xiao Fu Ling.
"Esteemed wangfei, when my godfather was still alive, he said that saving a person's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You should interfere in this matter."
