"Dad, I think you've really lost your mind and your eyesight! You were living a good life, but you had to let a wolf into the house!"
"Hui'er, how can you speak to your father like that, and Chengyi, he is your younger brother..." The old lady opened her mouth to persuade her daughter, but was abruptly interrupted by Wen Chenghui.
"Who said he is my brother? I don't have such a black-hearted brother. In this life, I only have Chengren as my brother!"
"What are you arguing about? Don't you know what's written here? Noise prohibited!"
Just then, a cleaning lady who was cleaning under the scorching sun yelled at them.
It is true that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
At this time, more and more people were going up the mountain to worship. The aunt roared like a lion and many people looked towards them.
Wen Chenghui was so embarrassed and angry that she turned around and ran away in her high heels.
Mr. Wen was so angry that his face turned ashen.
Lu Yuanchao quietly winked at her daughter. Wen Luo understood and hurried over to the old man. Holding the corner of his clothes, he whispered, "Don't be angry, Grandpa. It's getting late. Let's go burn incense for uncle first."
The old man hummed, glanced at the younger generations around him and said, "Don't be like your aunt. She's always acting like she has no brains and only causes trouble!"
"I understand, Grandpa."
Several juniors lowered their heads and responded in unison.
Wen Yin stepped forward and Wen Yuan each supported the old lady on one side, while Wen Luo followed behind his parents. The group walked quietly towards Wen Chengli's tombstone, and only occasionally heard Wen Chengren's violent coughing along the way.

Wen Chengyi didn't say a word on the way home. After arriving home, he locked himself in the study and didn't come out for the entire afternoon.
Thinking that he might need some quiet time, Mu Fu didn't disturb him and pulled her daughter into the kitchen to help.
It was getting dark, the dishes had been heated up twice, but her husband still hadn't shown up. Mu Fu was a little worried.
"Go and see what's going on with your dad. Even if it's a big deal, you still have to eat."
"oh."
Wen Xi stuffed a piece of purple sweet potato into her mouth, brought another piece for Wen Chengyi, went upstairs and opened the study door.
"What's wrong with you, Dad?"
Wen Xi was shocked to see his father pulling his hair into a mess like a madman.
"I swore I wouldn't go back until I found the real culprit!"
Wen Chengyi looked at her in distress, with a conflicted look on his face.
“…”
"I swore an oath, and I can't go back on my word."
"So you're not going out this weekend?"
"Um."
"No, Dad, we have to go to this family dinner!"
"Must go?"
"Yes, we have to go. There are only two lines of defense, and the iron wall over there is so tight that it can't be pried open. We are relying on catching the driver to avenge Uncle and clear your name, but we have tried our best over the past few years and have achieved nothing. Why?"
"That guy is so cunning!" Wen Chengyi slammed the table angrily.
Wen Xi shook her head. "I heard from Uncle Wu that he was almost caught several times, but he always slipped away at the last moment. Even if he's cunning, he can't get away so easily every time, right?"
"This..." Wen Chengyi became suspicious.
Indeed, no matter how well they prepare, that guy always manages to escape before them, as if he knows their movements very well. This is too unbelievable!
"He couldn't have handled our investigation all these years by himself. There must be a force behind him that has been preventing us from finding out the truth. Dad, I still say the same thing, there's a traitor."
