Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Opening the Coffin (21st Update)_1

"He has to die even if he’s not dead," a fierce glint flashed in the eyes of the Huang Family’s madam as she patted her son’s head, "Remember, everything of the Zhou Family will be yours, and everything belonging to your second uncle will be yours too..."

"Yes," Zhou Chun nodded, "all mine..."

Meanwhile, having already left the great gate of the Zhou Family, Zhou Jiang sat upright on his warhorse, glanced back at the Zhou estate with a cryptic shine in his eyes.

"General, what should we do next?" Deputy General Lin Weiming looked worried.

"Go to the gravesite and open the coffins," Zhou Jiang’s eyes were filled with unwavering resolution, "I don’t believe they are dead. My children would not die so easily..." Talk of them being captured by bandits because they had been followed closely, and in desperation, those men vilely killed the children—he didn’t believe a word of it.

Sure enough, there were two small new mounds in the Zhou family ancestral grave.

Upon Zhou Jiang’s order, the soldiers quickly excavated one of them and lifted the coffin out.

At the sight of the coffin, Zhou Jiang’s frown deepened; it was the cheapest kind, cobbled together from scrap wood.

The soldiers, having crawled out of piles of corpses, found opening the coffin simple and not the least bit frightening, and indeed a little boy lay inside. His face was so decayed that it was unrecognizable, but with a single glance, Zhou Jiang knew that this was not his son. The despair in his heart gave way to a glimmer of hope.

The other mound was unearthed to reveal a little girl, her face equally decayed. However, this time Zhou Jiang carefully inspected her still-intact little hands and feet, concluding once more that this was not his pair of children.

"General, the young master and miss are not dead," Lin Weiming said, his face alight with joy.

"Hmm," Zhou Jiang, although previously convinced, was still anxious until the confirmation came, so he now breathed a sigh of relief, "Send people to search, we must find them..."

"Yes," Lin Weiming immediately stood at attention and responded, but his face soon showed hesitation, "But General, there’s something I’m not sure I should say..."

Zhou Jiang glanced at his deputy general: "You know my temper. If you think it shouldn’t be said, then keep quiet. If it should be said, then don’t beat around the bush."

"Yes," Lin Weiming promptly straightened up again, "I suspect the madam the most. If..." his words trailed off as he glanced at Zhou Jiang, "if we could get a breakthrough from her, maybe we could find the young master and miss sooner."

Zhou Jiang’s face turned very unsightly, he closed his eyes briefly then opened them again already sharp with determination: "I’ve thought of it, let’s go." At least Xiaoxiao had learned some skills from him and was older, maybe capable of protecting herself. But Little Yingying was so young, without the ability to defend herself at all—if... how could he face his wife who had died giving birth to his children?

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival today; his wife’s death anniversary was in a couple of days. He had wanted to come back to be with his children, but... Son, daughter, where exactly are you?

Meanwhile, at Zhou’s Old House.

Huang Yongnian rushed in, panting, "Brother-in-law, something’s wrong. The second master has taken people to the Zhou family ancestral grave..."

"What?" Zhou Hai on hearing this, abruptly stood up, "This..."
