Ever since hearing Shen Ye's words in the car, Qian Lisong had started to suspect his aunt. Seeing her guarded expression, his suspicion grew even stronger.

"Well, they're my classmates," he replied vaguely, knowing that he couldn't reveal his emotions at this moment, or it would alert his aunt. He then invited Shen Ye and Ye Ze inside.

Upon hearing that they were Qian Lisong's classmates, Aunt Qian didn't think much of it and greeted them with a smile. "Come in quickly, let me pour you some water."

She was thin and her face appeared a bit worn, indicating that she had faced hardships in her youth due to a poor family background.

Shen Ye led Ye Ze into the living room.

The house exuded a faint gloomy atmosphere, but it wasn't particularly strong, indicating that Aunt Qian's crime scene wasn't in the house.

Aunt Qian was about to go to the kitchen to wash some fruits for Shen Ye and Ye Ze when Shen Ye said, "No need to bother, let's discuss the matter at hand first."

Aunt Qian's name was Qian Chunhua, a name chosen quite randomly. When she was born, her health was not good, and it was said that a simple name was easier to care for, so her family gave her such a plain name.

She had a bad premonition and looked at Qian Lisong anxiously, asking, "What do you mean by your classmates?"

"Please have a seat," Qian Lisong still didn't answer her.

He didn't know how to face his aunt now. His aunt had always been good to him since he was young. If she really harmed his parents and grandparents, what should he do?

...He didn't dare to think further.

On the other hand, Shen Ye said directly, "I am Qian Lisong's classmate and also a Taoist priest. He told me that something happened at home and asked me to come and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Qian's expression immediately changed. "So... so you are a master."

Shen Ye stared at her face and said, "Call your husband back. When he returns, the truth will be revealed."

With just these words, Aunt Qian's legs suddenly went weak, and she almost knelt down on the ground.

This reaction clearly indicated that she had a guilty conscience.

Qian Lisong saw it all and felt even more uncomfortable.

"My... my husband knows nothing..." After a while, Qian Chunhua gritted her teeth and spoke.

Shen Ye shrugged. "I haven't even mentioned what happened yet, but you're already saying that your husband knows nothing... It seems like both you and your husband have something to hide."

Qian Chunhua's face turned pale. "Are you... are you trying to deceive me?"

"Of course not," Shen Ye said. "I'm best at reading faces. When I saw you for the first time, I knew what you and your husband did to Qian Lisong's parents and grandparents."

Qian Chunhua supported herself on the sofa and sat down, her face filled with despair. She remained silent for a long time.

Shen Ye said, "You'd better call your husband back."

Qian Chunhua shook her head, insisting that her husband had nothing to do with anything.

Shen Ye narrowed his eyes. "It seems like you want to bear the responsibility alone."

"I... I am to blame for what happened to Lisong's family..." Qian Chunhua suddenly covered her face and sobbed.

Her crying was filled with deep regret, but Shen Ye showed no sympathy.
