Chapter 268 Disrupting the Funeral Hall

The white silk ribbons fluttered in the wind.

The once quiet and solemn mourning hall now resembled a bustling marketplace.

Wan Ziyan collapsed, Tao Ran disappeared without a trace, and only Chen Yongnian stood in the mourning hall confronting others.

The person opposite him was fair-skinned, with a hint of fierceness between his brows, and wore coarse cloth clothes that looked slightly worn.

If you look closely, this person's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to those of Wan Qiqi and Wan Ziyan, but he is less delicate and more rugged.

He shouted, "Chen Yongnian, get out of my way!"

Chen Yongnian did not move, but stood firmly in front of the coffin, stopping the person in front of him from going any further.

He clasped his hands in a respectful bow, saying, "Brother, please leave. Do not cause trouble at someone else's funeral hall and disturb the peace of the deceased!"

The man sneered twice, "Just because you've found a famous teacher, you can talk now!"

He took two steps forward. "I know what kind of person my sister is. Where did you find someone who looks exactly like my sister to impersonate her? And you even fooled my second brother!"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers realized that the person who had arrived was Wan Tingsheng, the eldest son of the Wan family from Wanjia Village.

This person is Wan Ziyan's younger brother from his own family, and also the elder brother from Wan Qiqi's maternal family whom she has severed ties with.

Wan Qiqi came from the backyard and overheard Wan Tingsheng's words.

People around her had always mentioned her maternal family, the Wan family, and today she finally met this elder brother.

According to my memory, it was indeed a problem with the original owner that caused my nephew's disability.

Now that Wan Qiqi has finally seen Wan Tingsheng, she feels that this older brother must also have problems.

She didn't believe that the Wan family was so poor that they couldn't even get their child treated in time after a fall!

A lameness must have been left untreated for a long time and become a symptom before it could lead to lameness.

Wan Qiqi straightened her clothes, strode over to Chen Yongnian's side, and said coldly, "Brother, do you think I'm a fake? Then tell me, what's the real Wan Qiqi like?"

Wan Tingsheng was taken aback, his eyes showing a hint of astonishment, as if he couldn't believe it.

She...she really is my sister?

If he hadn't seen her face clearly, he would have been truly intimidated by Wan Qiqi's aura.

Therefore, he was even more certain that this was not his sister.

He had known his sister for over a decade; how could he not know her personality and abilities?

"You liar, stop pretending! My sister drowned long ago!"

Wan Qiqi sneered, "Yes! Wan's daughter was pushed into the river and drowned by your wife long ago. The woman standing in front of you now is Chen's daughter-in-law, the younger sister of Wan, the son of the wealthy man in Hefeng Town."

With a single sentence, she confirmed the previous rumors and distanced herself from the Wan family.

It wasn't that Wan Qiqi accidentally fell into the water; she was pushed into the river by someone.

Wan Qiqi stepped forward. "You all saw me struggling in the river, why didn't you save me? Why?"

As she spoke, Wan Qiqi's eyes reddened.

She was roaring for the original owner of this body, fighting for justice for her.

The original owner did many bad things, but were they all the original owner's own fault?

Doesn't the family that originated from this bear any responsibility at all?

She couldn't understand what heinous things the original owner of this body had done that would make her blood relatives watch her sink to the bottom of the river!

"I...I..."

Wan Tingsheng was intimidated by her imposing manner and took two steps back.

People around couldn't help but start talking about it.

"I never expected the Wan family to be so heartless. After all, Chen Wanshi was their flesh and blood, yet they just watched her drown like that."

"I thought the Wan family was the victim, but it seems that Chen Wanshi is the one who is hurt."

"I heard that if it weren't for the eldest son of the Chen family appearing and rescuing Chen Wanshi, she would have been dead long ago!"

"Yes! Nowadays, the eldest son of the Wan family is actually letting someone impersonate his sister. It's truly outrageous."

Wan Tingsheng then realized that this was still the same Wan Qiqi, the same Wan Qiqi who used sweet words.

With just a few words, he made himself a victim, belittled the Wan family to nothing, and even acted ruthlessly.

Sure enough, this is still my selfish and greedy younger sister!

Wan Tingsheng glared at the gossiping crowd. "Why don't you ask how much she took from the Chen family after she married into it?"

He looked down at Wan Qiqi. "She's greedy and selfish. To steal my wife's dowry, she left my son disabled. She angered my father to the point of illness; that's unfilial. Should we save such an unfilial person and let her continue to bleed the Wan family dry?"

Wan Qiqi was somewhat surprised, not expecting Wan Tingsheng to be so eloquent.

Chen Yongnian did not argue with Wan Tingsheng about this issue.

He knew that his wife had been wrong in the past.

But at this point, his wife was no longer that kind of person!

Everyone has seen how much she has sacrificed for the family.

Especially regarding the matter of Master Wan, she worked tirelessly with Tao Ran inside and out, putting in countless hours of effort.

Wan Qiqi glanced coldly at Wan Tingsheng, not wanting to argue with him. "If it's about this matter, you can go to the Chen family in Lianhua Village to find me. There's no need to make a scene at the funeral hall and disturb the peace of the deceased."

She tilted her head back and said in a low, hushed voice, "Aren't you afraid he'll come back to take your life?"

Wan Qiqi's voice was like a demon crawling out of hell, with an ethereal quality.

Wan Tingsheng felt a chill run down his spine upon hearing this, as he couldn't figure out who the "he" Wan Qiqi was referring to was.

He always felt that Wan Qiqi's words didn't sound like those of a wealthy man named Wan.

After a moment of silence, he remembered the purpose of his trip, cleared his throat, and said, "I'm here to make trouble for this hypocritical Master Wan!"

He glanced at the people offering their prayers and sneered, "You fools, do you really think Master Wan is a good person? He's just a wicked man who did bad things and is afraid of not being able to reincarnate after death! Even if he does all the good things, he can't be redeemed!"
