Chapter 31 Weird Big Sister

Song Zhirou's face was distorted, her pupils were dilated, her eyes were depressed and crazy, she wanted to speak but didn't dare to, so she had to remain in a stalemate. She waited until she was sweating profusely but her fifth sister did not expose her for breaking into the warehouse to steal things in the middle of the night.

Song Lingyi noticed that something was wrong with the elder sister in front of her, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. Suddenly, she remembered watching TV and seeing drug addiction in drug rehabilitation videos, and people seemed to be in this state.

Considering her elder sister's thin figure and the fact that she was wearing thick clothes in the hot summer, Song Lingyi couldn't help but suspect that her elder sister had been infected with some dirty thing.

"Sister, you...what's wrong with you?"

Song Lingyi was so nervous that she was sweating from squeezing the wooden stick in her hand.

Under the moonlight, the snow-white skirt on Song Zhirou fluttered in the silent and desolate night, like a ghost, falling to the ground silently.

She took a small tentative step forward, and Song Lingyi followed her lead and stepped back with a vigilant look in her eyes.

"Oh, oh... My elder sister is sick, that's why she needs so much money."

For some reason, Song Zhirou's voice was much hoarser than during the day, and coupled with the gloomy environment around her, she looked as eerie as a walking corpse.

"…What disease is it? Why don't you just tell us directly?" Song Lingyi remained skeptical.

After all, Madam Song loves her eldest sister very much. If her eldest sister really gets sick and needs money, Madam Song will still sell her land to pay for her treatment.

Why would he sneak around in the middle of the night and steal the key to get into the warehouse?

"My illness can be cured by taking medicine. If I don't have medicine, it's like thousands of ants are gnawing at my heart, and I'm in so much pain..." Song Zhirou's eyes became more and more crazy, and she was restless. "Sister, there is no other way. I have to take medicine, but the medicine is too expensive. Your brother-in-law bought the medicine and just took it himself..."

Song Zhirou was in tears and looked very pitiful.

"Sister, what kind of medicine is this?" Why is my brother-in-law also taking it?
Song Zhirou's eyes turned fierce, "What? Are you going to snatch it from me too? The money is in my hands, it's all mine, no one can snatch it from me!"

Song Lingyi was frightened by her crazy state and did not dare to speak for a long time.

The noise here quickly alarmed the servants in the mansion.
Fires lit up in the dark corridor, and steady footsteps rustled closer.

Song Zhirou subconsciously hugged the mahogany box tightly and ran towards the door at a very fast speed.

When Song Lingyi reacted, she had already jumped far away.

Damn it—a 100-meter sprinter? Song Lingyi was shocked

"Fifth Miss!" Ah Zhu called across the corridor, "What happened?"

Song Lingyi raised her hand and pointed in the direction where Song Zhirou was running, "Azhu! Quick! Stop my sister!"

Azhu was holding a lantern. When he came over for the first time, he only saw a white shadow flash by. He thought there was a thief in the house, but it turned out to be the eldest girl.

He didn't dare to delay and immediately rushed in the direction Song Lingyi pointed, with two people following behind him.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Perhaps because of the busy day, there was some noise in the yard, but no one else in the Song Mansion came out to check.

Song Lingyi was concerned about the ill health of the eldest lady, so she did not wake up her father and mother and went to the door alone.

The door of the Song Mansion was half open, and the bolt was thrown on the ground.

Looking out from the yard, the street was dark and empty.

Azhu and two servants had already chased out. Song Lingyi lay on the door and looked left and right, only to see a few lonely lights under the neighbor's eaves and some empty stalls.

The night wind was howling and Song Lingyi, who was wearing thin clothes, could not help shivering. After waiting for about half a cup of tea, Azhu and the two servants came back exhausted and panting.

"How is it, where's my elder sister?" Song Lingyi looked a little confused.

Azhu waved her hands: "The eldest girl looks frail, but she ran really fast. I could still see her back at the beginning, but I lost her later." Song Lingyi frowned. Her elder sister was really not in good condition. She was really afraid that something might happen to her.

If I had known she would run away, I might as well——

Song Lingyi lowered her head and glanced at the wooden stick in her hand.

——It would be better to just knock him out!

"Fifth Miss, what happened? Why did the eldest miss run away in the middle of the night? Do you need me to go to my husband's house right now?" Ah Zhu said. He had been in the Song Mansion for 24 years. He was brought up by his grandparents when they passed by a famine-stricken village. The Song family had given him a second life, so he was particularly concerned about the affairs of the Song family.

Song Lingyi shook her head: "I'm afraid it's not that simple."

According to the eldest sister, she and her brother-in-law were both taking certain medicines, and her brother-in-law was suspected of monopolizing the medicines. If the eldest sister got the money, she would definitely not return to the Pang family.

In the middle of the night, Song Lingyi knocked on Zhou Xiaoniang's door.

Since she couldn't disturb Madam Song and her father was unreliable, she should ask Madam Zhou what she thought. Otherwise, if she waited until the next day, she might as well blame Madam Song for not communicating with the elders in time.

After waiting for a while, the door opened and Zhou Xiaoniang put on a coat and was still sober. "Lele? It's the middle of the night, why aren't you sleeping in the room? What are you doing?"

"My dear, something happened..." Song Lingyi seemed a little anxious as she recounted what had just happened.

Zhou Xiaoniang was a little indifferent at first, but after hearing Song Zhirou stealing things from the storeroom, she became completely sober and her voice rose involuntarily: "What!? She dares to steal things, okay... It's only been a short time since she got married, and she has already learned the tricks of stealing. Is this Pang family a den of beggars!"

"..."Is this the point? The point is that the elder sister is not in a good state!
"Little girl, I'm afraid something might happen to my elder sister if she runs out in the middle of the night..."

"What are you afraid of? If something really happens, it's her own fault. It has nothing to do with you."

After saying that, Zhou Xiaoniang cursed her elder sister for stealing things, and then advised Song Lingyi to go back to her room and sleep, and discuss everything tomorrow.

The next day, the sky brightened

The spacious main house was packed with people

Mrs. Song, who was still lying in bed, planning to have a good rest for two days, almost fainted again after hearing the news that Song Zhirou took the warehouse key in the middle of the night and stole a box of money.

"Pinch! Pinch the Ren philtrum!!!"

Mama Qiu, the maid closest to the eldest lady, pinched her philtrum with skillful movements.

After pinching for a long time, the person on the bed finally recovered.

Mr. Song, who was standing by the bed, was terrified. He didn't know whether he was worried about his wife's health or worried about having to spend money on supplements again.

"What's going on?" Song Xianglan was anxious and angry. "My brother-in-law is a scholar and his family is wealthy. Why does my elder sister need to steal money from my mother's family to buy medicine?"

Song Changling rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you hear that my brother-in-law is also taking medicine? Maybe he and his wife got sick and spent all their savings, so they thought of stealing money from my mother's family."

Speaking of contracting an illness, her expression froze, "Oh, I hope it's not an infectious disease, it's so unlucky!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Song Xianglan scolded.

"Why are you talking nonsense?"

"My brother-in-law is a scholar, and my eldest sister has always been well-educated and well-mannered. There must be a misunderstanding!"

"What kind of misunderstanding could there be..." Song Changling curled his lips.
