In order not to disturb Aunt and others who were sleeping on the first floor, Vianna stood on tiptoes and walked quietly through the living room step by step without making any sound.
When passing Cassius's mourning hall, Vianna's calves were trembling, and she didn't dare to look at him any less, for fear of bumping into Cassius in the photo!
After finally walking through the living room to the kitchen, she opened the refrigerator and took out a sandwich and an apple. She came out of the kitchen as quietly as a thief. Standing on the dividing line between the kitchen and the living room, she took a deep breath and mustered up her courage, closed her eyes, and passed in front of Cassius's mourning hall with a sad face.
A dark wind blew from an unknown direction, causing the light of the incense candle in front of the portrait to flicker, threatening to extinguish it.
Vianna seemed to be frozen, standing stiffly on the spot.
The sinister wind blew past her, as if it had taken away her soul alive, and she didn't dare to move, not at all.
Where does the wind come from this late at night?
Vianna swallowed, her body was shaking like a sieve, sweating like raindrops, the sandwich in her hand was crushed into a small ball, her body gradually shifted, and she turned her head little by little to look at the mourning hall. Cassius's posthumous photo.
As usual, no difference.
But where does this wind come from?
Vianna looked around. Because of the rain, Aunt had closed the windows in the villa tightly, making it impossible for the wind to come in.
She must be overthinking it.
Vianna comforted herself and walked toward the stairs on tiptoes.
She had only taken two steps when her expression suddenly looked as frightened as if she had seen a ghost. She bit her lower lip as hard as she could and wanted to run, but her legs were too weak to control.
Because she really felt someone blowing on the back of her neck!
Her throat trembled, and Vianna screamed uncontrollably.
"ah--"
Wow--
A stronger wind blew than before, and the candle in front of the portrait was blown out, plunging the entire living room into darkness.
Boom--
A thunder struck.
Vianna was so scared that she closed her eyes tightly, her legs were so weak that she couldn't stand, so she squatted down, sweating profusely, and her gums were trembling.
No way, is there really a metaphysics?
Snapped--
The lights in the living room were on, like daylight.
Aunt's life-saving voice sounded, "Madam, why aren't you sleeping at this late hour?"
Vianna suddenly turned around, her eyes were misty, it was because she was scared, but in Aunt's eyes, it was her longing for her husband.
"Why are you still holding this in your hand..."
When Vianna saw Aunt, the fear in her heart was dispelled. She calmed down, stabilized her emotions, and whispered: "I... I just dreamed that Cassius said he was hungry when I was sleeping at night, so I Come bring him some food."
"Hungry?" Aunt, an elder of the generation, believed this. After hearing what Vianna said, she quickly placed the sandwiches and apples in Vianna's hand in front of Cassius's photo, "Madam, don't worry, put these here first. I'll go to the kitchen to make some food..." Her voice choked and paused for a moment, "...for sir."
After saying that, she went to the kitchen to get busy.
Vianna stood in front of Cassius's mourning hall, looking at Aunt who was cooking seriously in the kitchen, smelling the sweet smell coming from the kitchen, and felt that it was neither right nor wrong to leave.
Not long after, Aunt brought a plate of hot steak to Cassius.
The aroma of steak fried in butter filled the living room. Vianna swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, but could only stand behind Aunt and watch helplessly.
"Sir, this is your favorite steak. From now on, Aunt will cook you what you like every day. If you are hungry, come and eat."
Just... come here and eat?
Vianna shivered.
It would be better for Cassius to be a starving ghost.
"Aunt, if I have nothing to do, I will go up and rest first. You should also rest early."
"Okay, madam, please go to bed early."
Vianna took advantage of her stomach to stop growling and hurriedly went upstairs.
As soon as I closed the door, my stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
Hey stomach, I will wrong you today and reward you tomorrow.
--Thoughts to Vianna, who fell asleep while stroking her belly.
Cassius was very satisfied with his masterpiece just now.
It finally relieved my anger of being deceived by Lightning and Thunder for many years!
***
Early the next morning, Vianna dragged her body, which was about to digest itself, downstairs to have breakfast. Aunt made a table full of breakfast for her, while urging Vianna to eat more.
"Madam, look how thin you have become in the past few days. Eat more...not much, how much have you eaten now? Eat more, and I will serve you a bowl of porridge."
Vianna was worried that she couldn't eat, and kept eating quickly. When Aunt turned around to serve her porridge, she got up, grabbed a small steamed bun, stuffed it into her mouth, and swallowed it wholeheartedly.
Cassius sat aside and looked coldly at the woman who had deceived everyone.
After breakfast, Vianna's five internal organs temple was finally satisfied. After putting incense sticks on Cassius, when she was about to go out to see Cassius in front of the tomb, an uninvited guest came to the house.
Here's the thing about this uninvited guest.
Cassius was a poor man. His parents died young and he stayed at his uncle's house. His uncle treated him indifferently. Although he didn't criticize him harshly, he always rolled his eyes at him behind his back. After all, there was an extra person in the family who had to spend money to eat and spend money.
Later, Cassius became successful. In order to repay the kindness of raising him, he would distribute dividends to his uncle's family every year, which was about five million a year.
Now that Cassius is dead, Vianna doesn't even have to think about the reason why his uncle came to visit.
The eating house is here.
Aunt looked defensive. After sending a text message to Aron, she said to Vianna: "Madam, you go to your room to rest first. I'll take care of it here."
Vianna smiled and said, "It's okay, Aunt. Cassius was raised by my uncle. Now that Cassius is gone, he just came to see Cassius. He can't be here to feed the poor family, right?"
Stepping through the door, my uncle's face froze when he happened to hear these words. He quickly realized what she was saying and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Vianna said respectfully: "I made a mistake. Uncle, please sit down quickly."
The uncle then snorted coldly and walked in from the outside. There was a woman following behind.
Vianna turned a blind eye.
The uncle first offered incense sticks to Cassius. He was extremely sad and spoke his heart out in front of Cassius's photo. Then he sat down with the soft comfort of the woman beside him.
"Vianna, I know that you and Cassius have been married for three years and have always had a good relationship. When Cassius passes away, you are the most saddened. Originally, I shouldn't mention it at this time, but for Cassius's sake, my uncle has to I can only apologize to you, otherwise, I will feel uneasy!"
"Uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it."
The uncle nodded, pointed to the woman beside him, and said, "Her name is Cella, and she grew up with Cassius's childhood sweetheart . Later, they separated because of some things..." The uncle was silent for a moment, "She is pregnant. What she is carrying is... Cassius's child."
Vianna looked at the woman standing next to her uncle, her eyes widened, and she said in surprise: "Pregnant? This is impossible!"
Uncle said earnestly: "Uncle knows you can't accept this fact. Cassius is... confused! But this is absolutely true. The baby in Cella's belly is already three months old. The baby in Ayu's belly is Cassius's, his only child, you can't just let Cassius die like this, right?"
Cella, who was standing on one side, felt pitiful and endured the humiliation, "Miss Vianna, I know it's my fault. I don't ask for any honor, but the child is innocent. I just hope that the child in my belly will be able to survive after birth. Call Cassius dad, and as long as Miss Vianna agrees, you can let me be a cow or a horse!"
As she spoke, she looked excited and knelt down in front of Vianna.
Vianna was stunned, turned around and hid.
"No, you still have a baby in your belly, don't hurt the baby."
The uncle smiled happily and said: "Good boy, I know you are a woman of justice. Have you recognized Cassius's child?"
Vianna looked at her uncle who was hesitant to speak, hesitating, and after a long while he could not say anything: "Uncle, I also really want Cassius to have a child, but Cassius... is infertile."
Cassius, who was 'infertile' on one side, questioned his soul:? ? ?
When Cassius was still alive, Vianna had some dealings with this uncle, saying that it was not appropriate to rely on an old man and sell him off, but it was appropriate to be disrespectful to him.
Always relying on the kindness of raising Cassius back then, he came to see Cassius again and again as an elder.
Cassius came to the door immediately after his death. Vianna thought he was here to eat the dead family, but unexpectedly he also brought a woman who claimed to be pregnant with Cassius's child and who had grown up with Cassius's childhood sweetheart.
Knowing that Cassius's body was not found, he wanted to force the child in his belly to be stamped as Cassius's with no proof of death.
What a beautiful thought!
Don't say that this child is not Cassius's, even if it is, she will not admit it.
If you want to use your unborn child to divide the inheritance, dream!
Anyway, there is no evidence of death and the body has not been found. Who can prove that the child is Cassius's? Who can prove that Cassius is fertile?
When Vianna said that Cassius was infertile, both uncle and Cella were stunned.
The uncle's first reaction was surprise, and then he said angrily in disbelief: "Vianna, what nonsense are you talking about! How can Cassius be infertile!"
Cella was slightly flustered, subconsciously covering her lower abdomen with her hands, and avoiding her eyes with a guilty conscience.
But when my uncle said this, he immediately reacted, his eyes turned red, and he choked with sobs: "Does Miss Vianna suspect that the child in my belly is not Cassius's?"
Vianna sighed and said with embarrassment: "Cassius is also gone. I originally planned to keep this matter in my stomach, but..." She glanced at Cella and her eyes fell on her slightly pregnant belly, "Uncle, there are no outsiders here, let me tell you straight, I didn't lie to you, Cassius is indeed sterile. In the first year of marriage, he was... injured in an accident, and he has no fertility since then. Otherwise, How come me and Cassius don't even have a child after being in love for three years?"
Her voice was soft and weak, and her timid face showed that she had no idea at all. It was easy to believe that she didn't dare to lie to others about such a thing.
