At the beginning of the famine, I became famous all over the world with my useless system

Chapter 228 Obtaining Physical Evidence

Feng looked them up and down calmly, then said with a smile, "Oh, you're so pitiful. What's your name, child? You look so small. Our Songjiazhai is in a mountain valley. How did you get here supporting your mother? You must have suffered a lot along the way."

Gu Ermiao naturally heard the inquiry in Feng's words, and immediately his eyes turned red, and he choked up and said:

"Aunt, my name is Gu Ermiao. I'm originally from Gujiazhuang, Anping Town. There are five of us in my family. My father died on the battlefield of Tuku last year, and the pension was taken away by my uncle's family... Then our family suffered from famine, my younger brother contracted the plague and died, and my younger sister was sold to a wealthy family as a maid... My mother and I were bullied by the scoundrels in the village, so we had no choice but to go to town and become beggars..."

Gu Ermiao had been observing Feng quietly and found that although she was crying, there was still a coldness in her eyes, and her crying was not even as sincere as Song Yang's.

Feng wiped her tears and said, "Then why are you and your son the only ones who found our village?"

Gu Ermiao brought out the words she had prepared long ago: "I was originally going to Songsi Village with everyone else, but when the village head heard that my mother didn't want to be a concubine in the Jia Mansion, he kicked us out."

Feng suddenly sneered and glanced at Gou with a hint of contempt, as if she didn't care at all if anyone heard her sarcasm.

"Not everyone wants the Jia Mansion. No wonder old man Song Youliang couldn't even protect his own daughter."

She didn't know that Gu Ermiao was from Songsi Village, so she was so open about it. She also didn't know how shocking these words were to Gu Ermiao.

Song Youliang’s daughter, isn’t that Song Lingshuang?

Is she going to be sent to the Jia Mansion too?

He should have been happy that the annoying chattering girl was sent away, but why did he feel a little worried in his heart?

Song Yang pretended to interrupt Feng after she had asked almost all her questions.

"Alright, alright. I saw his mother faint in front of the ancestral hall with my own eyes. Yanhong, you're being so aggressive. Are you trying to interrogate a criminal? Come up and take over for Ermiao. He deserves a rest after all this walking!"

"Oh, it's unfair," Feng came over and took Gou's hand while speaking, but what caught Gu Ermiao off guard was that she actually touched his forearm.

Before she could rub it up and down, Gu Ermiao felt as if pricked by a thorn and shook it off in disgust.

Seeing this, Feng's smile froze for a moment, but it returned to normal in a moment. She covered her mouth and smiled and said, "Ermiao is still shy. Don't be afraid. Auntie is just helping."

Gu Ermiao also felt that he had overreacted. In order not to arouse excessive suspicion from the other party, he hurriedly explained with a smile: "Aunt, my hand just cramped up. I didn't hit you, did I?"

Feng showed a gentle smile, looking completely different from her previous appearance.

After Song Yang and Feng helped Gou up, Gu Ermiao was able to rest. He took the opportunity to look around and observe carefully.

On the way here, he noticed that Song Yang's house was outside the village and had no neighbors around. That was why his yard was so ridiculously large.

The dragon in the outer courtyard was majestic yet eerie, and there were layers of white flags hanging against the wall in the inner courtyard.

There were paintings of black fish, turtle-like mythical beasts, etc. on the flags. Although he didn't know what these were for, he always felt that something was wrong.

Maybe I should go ask Song Dazhi tonight.

At this moment, inside the Tang Mansion.

Lin Qing heard the prompt sound as soon as he stepped into the inner room.

[Ding, the hidden quest "Benevolent Heart and Benevolent Art" has been opened. Quest difficulty: ★★. Complete the quest and you will be rewarded with 1 piece of evidence.]

Lin Qing was puzzled. A hidden mission?

And the difficulty is only two stars.

Reward or evidence?

That should be related to the overthrow of the Jia family.
