"This child..."
Gu Xuelan shook her head helplessly.
Then the aunt and sister-in-law went to the Shen family together.
Xue Hanyu's eyes were indeed swollen from crying, and this time she really couldn't cry anymore, not because she was stupid.
She knelt in the mourning hall, in front of Old Madam Shen's coffin, with her head lowered.
When the aunt and sister-in-law arrived, the mourning hall was deserted, with only two maids. Ji Mingxuan had gone somewhere, but Cheng Jinxing hurried to the mourning hall from the side.
Before the aunt and sister-in-law could call for help, they saw Cheng Jinxing chopping directly at the back of Xue Hanyu's neck, and Xue Hanyu fainted.
"Jinxing, what are you doing?"
Gu Xuelan was so scared that she stepped forward and started to curse, but since this was a mourning hall, she lowered her voice.
"Mother, Aunt, you're here! Aunt Hanyu hasn't slept a wink since yesterday. She's almost lost consciousness. She hasn't eaten anything, just some water. I was worried that she couldn't handle it, so I asked Master Ji for permission to knock her out and send her to rest. Master Ji agreed."
Cheng Jinxing explained.
Gu Xuelan opened her mouth and said, uh, it seemed that her son was doing nothing wrong.
Cheng Jinxing directly carried Xue Hanyu to the room next to the mourning hall to rest, and his aunt and sister-in-law followed him in.
He carefully put the person on the bed and covered her with a quilt. Turning around, he saw that his mother and aunt were about to talk, so he quickly made a hushing gesture.
Cheng Yue and Gu Xuelan shut up.
Then they saw that their son (nephew), who had always been careless and unconcerned, soaked a handkerchief in hot water, wrung it out but did not wring it dry, walked to the bed, wiped Xue Hanyu's face and applied pressure to her eyes.
The aunt and sister-in-law looked at each other.
Is this Jinxing?
Where did the handkerchief come from?
Where does the hot water come from?
Did your silly son (silly nephew) prepare it early in the morning?
Under such circumstances, the aunt and sister-in-law did not think much about it, but just thought that this silly boy had grown up and could take care of others.
"Aunt, mother, come out with me!"
Cheng Jinxing put the handkerchief away and pulled one with each hand.
"The maids of the Shen family were either exiled or ran away. The rest are just servants. Master Ji just asked Mingzhu and me to take care of Aunt Hanyu. Mingzhu said she wanted to go home and will come to take my place tomorrow."
Cheng Jinxing said.
Cheng Yue and Gu Xuelan understood that with such a big thing happening, the servants were scared. They were afraid that Lord Ji would arrest them or exile them as well. No wonder they didn't see any maids on the way in, only servants. Ji Mingxuan would never let servants take care of Xue Hanyu.
Cheng Jinxing told Ji Mingxuan what he knew about his arrangements and asked someone to pick a date for the burial, which was April 19th, at the Shen family's ancestral land, which was chosen by Old Master Shen. The Shen family's fortune started with Old Master Shen, so Old Master Shen was a beggar when he was a child. Therefore, there were no relatives in their family, which led to the deserted place.
The weather was getting hot. The reason why the body was kept for so long was to wait for Xue Hanyu's eldest cousin to come and bury Old Mrs. Shen.
After all, the only male in the Shen family is her eldest cousin.
Finally, after meeting with Ji Mingxuan and chatting for a few words, the aunt and sister-in-law asked Cheng Jinxing to take good care of Xue Hanyu, and then returned to the village.
The burial will be held in ten days. By then, their land will have been planted and the skewers shop will be open soon. They won't have to set up their stall anymore, and Cheng Yue will have more time to spend with Xue Hanyu.
