The death of the second son and his wife must be connected to the old man, otherwise, he would not have cried with such heartbreak and hopelessness.
After all, they were his own children! How could he bear to strike them down unless he was pushed to the extreme?
The eldest son and his wife, grieving and preparing mourning rites for their little brother and his wife, respectfully invited Qin Sisi to their home.
Alone, trying to avoid the crowd, they lowered their voices and asked Qin Sisi, "Miss, do you think this matter has anything to do with our father?"
Without Qin Sisi's involvement, the eldest son wouldn't have harbored such suspicions.
Yet, Qin Sisi had explained to them the root of the problem and pointed out a solution, but they worried it would be too costly and troubling.
Encouraged by his wife, the second son had sought help from another Mage, who had used a crude but cheaper approach to resolve the matter.
The eldest son nervously decided to wait and watch.
