Wei Zhicheng frowned. “Second Brother, this woman is strange. Her words can’t be trusted.”

Wei Zhigao looked at Liu Sanniang and asked with doubt in his voice. “You, why did you say that? Who are you?”

Liu Sanniang answered honestly. “I’m Liu Sanniang. I’m the one who said that Miao Yin is full of sins and will decay in half a month.”

Wei Zhigao frowned. “What does this have to do with my father?”

Liu Sanniang replied patiently. “Miao Yin is covered in sins. I didn’t expect her to spread her sins to others. Your father died because of the sin. He used his life as the price to make your mother recover. As a result, he naturally can’t live.”

Wei Zhicheng was in disbelief. “This is ridiculous.”

Wei Zhigao was also in disbelief.

Liu Sanniang smiled and looked at the two of them. “Otherwise, how can your mother recover and stand up? If she could stand up without needing to pay a heavy price, why would your father die?”

Wei Zhigao looked at Wei Zhicheng and then at Liu Sanniang. He said coldly, “Why are you here? Are you here just to say things to hurt us?”

Liu Sanniang said, “I’m here to return your father’s life to him.”

Wei Zhicheng was shocked. “Are you saying that my father can still come back to life?”

Liu Sanniang nodded.

Wei Zhicheng suppressed the shock in his heart. He looked at Wei Zhigao and said, “Miss Liu, please come in.”

Wei Nanxuan’s coffin was still placed in the hall. All the servants were dressed in mourning clothes.

Wei Zhigao and Wei Zhicheng brought Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan straight to the main courtyard.

Beside the main courtyard was the mourning hall. There was a black coffin with a brazier in front of it. A woman knelt at the side, burning incense.

Beside the woman, a few other women stood there, weeping.

After Wei Zhigao and Wei Zhicheng entered, they instructed. “You all can leave. We have something to tell our mother.”

Soon, in the main courtyard, except for Wei Zhigao, Wei Zhicheng, and their wives, all the servants were dismissed.

The woman turned around, her eyes red and swollen. “Zhigao, Zhicheng, what’s wrong?”

Mrs. Wei’s eyes were filled with sadness from losing her husband. She looked tired and her hair seemed to have turned gray overnight.

Wei Zhigao and Wei Zhicheng quickly went forward and gently helped her up. “Mother, we have something to tell you.”

The two of them helped Mrs. Wei sit down and knelt down by her side.

Seeing them kneel, their wives also knelt down beside their husbands.

Mrs. Wei was puzzled. “What is going on?”

Wei Zhicheng looked at Liu Sanniang. Wei Zhicheng said, “Mother, Father’s death was not an accident…”

Wei Zhicheng could not bring himself to continue. He lowered his head.

Mrs. Wei frowned. “What’s wrong?”

It was Liu Sanniang who answered. “Madam, you were supposed to be bedridden, but now you can stand up and walk. Don’t you think that came at a price?”

Mrs. Wei looked at Liu Sanniang with a puzzled look on her face.

Liu Sanniang walked forward and squatted down beside Mrs. Wei. “This price is your husband’s life.”

Mrs. Wei’s eyes were blurred by tears. “Are you saying that I got better at the cost of my husband’s life?”

Liu Sanniang nodded.

Mrs. Wei blinked and tried to force back her tears. She asked in a voice thick with emotions. “Is… is this really the price?”

Liu Sanniang nodded again.

The small price Miao Yin mentioned was not just a small price, but a life.

Mrs. Wei took a deep breath. “Miss, why are you here? Can you save my husband? If you can, I’m willing to do anything.”

Liu Sanniang looked at Mrs. Wei’s legs. “Are you willing to be bedridden again?”

Mrs. Wei was meant to be plagued by illness for her entire life. She would never be able to stand up on her own. Ordinary people could not understand the pain that disabled people went through.

Mrs. Wei forced a smile. “I have been unable to stand up for decades. It doesn’t matter if I become disabled again. I didn’t believe in goddesses anyway. It was my husband who persuaded me to give it a try. After Miao Yin made the request, he said that there was no problem. I couldn’t feel my legs for a long time, but at that moment, I felt a sensation coming back to my legs, and I could even stand up.”

“My husband probably knew the price back then. He helped me home and said that he had no regrets and could rest in peace.”

Mrs. Wei sobbed. “I’m happy that my legs can recover. I didn’t believe it at first, but the temptation and feeling of being able to walk again was too hard for me to resist. It was because of me that my husband…”

Wei Zhigao and Wei Zhicheng cried silently. “Mother, don’t be sad. Father doesn’t want to see you so sad.”

Wei Zhigao blamed himself. “It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for giving birth to me, Mother wouldn’t be like this. It’s all my fault.”

Mrs. Wei reached out and touched Wei Zhigao. “Silly child, why are you blaming yourself? Even if I lost my life in childbirth, I would have no regrets. Don’t blame yourself.”

She was willing to give birth to a child for the person she loved. No matter what the price was, she was willing to pay for it.

Mrs. Wei looked at Liu Sanniang. “Miss Liu, if losing this pair of legs can bring my husband back, then do it. I’m already used to living without legs anyway, but I’m not used to living a life without my husband.”

Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Bring Commander Wei back to bed.”

Wei Zhigao and Wei Zhicheng wiped their eyes and stood up. The two of them opened the coffin and looked at their father. Their eyes were filled with tears. The two of them carefully carried Wei Nanxi’s body back to the room.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan followed.

Mrs. Wei walked to the bed and sat down. She reached out to touch her husband’s face, her eyes blurry from the tears. “Why did you do this? How can I live without you?”

Liu Sanniang placed her hands on Mrs. Wei’s legs. The old lady felt a force wrap around her legs. The pain made her tremble but she gritted her teeth and endured it.
