Breakfast as the Song house was always simple, though Song Yan earned a lot, she spent more than half of her savings buying the herbs and Chinese medicines to make the first batch of her skincare creams and lotions, and the other half was spent on paying the fees of Fu Chen's school. The summer vacation was coming to an end and the school was asking the parents to pay the money for the children's tuition fees, generally, she wanted to leave this matter to Fu Yu Sheng but she still wanted to hold it until she was done seeing what kind of protection her husband would provide Fu Chen until Wu Genji's matter was over.
She didn't want the matters to become confusing in the future that was why she was maintaining a clean record for now, only after Fu Yu Sheng passes the test that she has put in front of him will she allow that man to have a place in Fu Chen's life, or else he can forget it.
" What kind of nonsense have they published in the newspaper?" Song Yan was blowing on her porridge when she heard her brother shout all of a sudden. She raised her head and looked at Song Lingyan who was staring at the newspaper with a glare that was burning with a fire that she had no idea about, she placed her spoon back in the bowl and shot Fu Yu Shen a look seeing that he too was looking at her brother instead of feeding Fu Chen.
Though she was one of the mothers who believed in a child should learn how to eat by the age of three, she wouldn't say no in case someone offered to feed Fu Chen and since Fu Yu Shen was the one who offered himself on her door with the proposal that he was going to feed Fu Chen, there was no way she was going to reject his offer.
Fu Yu Shen immediately turned his head and started blowing on the spoon before bringing it to Fu Chen's mouth, the latter shot him a disdainful look before taking a bite. Seeing the child's disgruntled look Fu Yu Shen almost coughed out blood, he too didn't want to do something like this but he had no chance, he promised Song Yan that he will treat Fu Chen like his ancestor and so, he had no choice but to treat Fu Chen with the same respect with which he treated his grandfather.
" What's wrong brother?" asked Song Yan as she turned to look at her brother who was looking at the newspaper with a disgusted expression. " Is something about your company printed in the paper?"
" If it was about that trash company I wouldn't have cared," said Song Lingyan as he straightened up the newspaper and handed it to Song Yan. " The reporters these days, they are simply without any morals, for the sake of publicity they are willing to publish anything, look at that —— on the front page they have printed such a thing. Vampires? In this age and day who believes in things like vampires and such? What in the world are they thinking? Spreading such superstition? I mean such people should be reported. What rubbish, ptui, they made my stomach churn…"
Fu Yu Shen raised his head to look at Song Yan but the latter had no time to pay any heed to him, she picked up the newspaper and carefully combed the front page. The news was about the finding of vampires in the village far away from the city, they mentioned how the people of that village were slowly vanishing while the ones who were living there were finding the corpses of those who have vanished lying around in the oddest place.
In the midst of the report there was also the mention of an old tomb that was found a few years ago, one of the villagers blamed that place for all the bad luck that was coming their way while the government officials simply refuted their claims saying that the villagers were trying to spread unnecessary superstition by making unfounded claims and tarnishing the reputation of the city by degrading such a historical place as for the corpses that were being found in the village they promised to take proper measures about it.
Song Yan finished reading the entire report, for the sake of keeping the horrible images away from the citizens, the reporters only published a blurred-out image of the corpses that were found in the village. However, Song Yan was sure that the reason this report was written in such a biased manner was that the officials didn't want the old tomb that was found to be discredited, in their view, the old tomb was a historical artefact, one that should be respected and kept safe but Song Yan knew old tombs were mostly the places where many things that shouldn't be roaming in the human territory were locked in, given that the date mentioned in the newspaper when the old tomb was found was that from six years ago, she couldn't help but be suspicious.
The old tomb was found six years ago and Wu Genji too was supposed to die six years ago.
What if there was some sort of connection between the old tomb and the demon that was being raised in the Wu family? Maybe she will be able to get some clues from that place. She folded the newspaper and passed it back to her brother before gulping down the porridge in one go, after that she stood up from her chair and patted Fu Yu Shen's shoulder, " Come on we need to go."
After saying that she walked back inside her room to change while Fu Yu Shen who finally began eating his cold breakfast looked at her vanishing back and asked, " Where do we need to go? Hey? At least answer me! Second sister in law?"
She didn't and Fu Yu Shen didn't have the guts to make her wait either, so he gulped his porridge down in a jiffy.
