Chapter 203: Happy Funeral

She was upset, but didn't want others to see her guilty conscience, so she sat upright, with her back even straighter than before.

I originally thought that only people from the farm came, but unexpectedly there was also Shang Yu'an with a sad face.

Now he was the only one holding on to the entire Fifth House, so he returned to the Duke's Mansion under the pretext of reporting a death.

As soon as they entered the room, before everyone had time to ask anything, they saw Shang Yu'an suddenly pounce in front of Shang Yukuan.

He cried and shouted with snot and tears streaming down his face.

"Brother, my father is gone..."

After all, the two have been brothers for decades. In the hard times in the past, they went up the mountain to pick vegetables together and went to the river to catch fish together.

Later, life went smoothly and they continued to live together.

After decades, the brotherhood will naturally become deeper.

Therefore, seeing him crying so sadly, the Duke could not hold back and started crying.

"Fourth brother, what happened? Why did Fifth Uncle pass away so suddenly?"

Shang Yukuan's question made Mrs. Wei next to him feel a little uneasy.

Ever since the fifth room went to the farm, she hadn't paid much attention to it. Apart from instructing the people in the farm not to let them leave, she didn't ask whether the doctor was invited or not.

So, over time, even she had somewhat forgotten about the many patients in Room 5.

Who would have thought that I would receive such news today, and Shang Yu'an came to tell me in person. Naturally, I felt a little panicked.

Shang Yu'an, as if knowing what she was thinking, looked up first at Madam Wei instead of her cousin.

The resentment and anger in his eyes startled Mrs. Wei and she spoke unnaturally.

"Why are you looking at me like that, Fourth Brother? It wasn't me who killed Fifth Uncle."

Hearing this, Shang Yu'an pointed at Madam Wei's nose and started cursing as if he had heard a joke.

"It was you who hit my father? It was you who threw us to the manor? Madam Wei, we used to call you sister-in-law, but you have such a cruel heart. You really want to kill us all!"

His accusation immediately made Aunt Jiao at the side feel unconvinced.

"Fourth Master, please speak politely and don't make any move on Madam Wei. After all, she is the wife of the Duke's Mansion and you can't just flirt with her."

"Slander? What am I slandering? Who among you present didn't see how Madam Wei beat my father that day? Now that he's gone, you're still blocking the road and won't let us come to sue. Are you trying to force our whole family to die before you're satisfied?"

Shang Yu'an's eyes turned bloodshot and he stared at the people in the main room as if everyone was an executioner.

In the end, Shang Yukuan stepped forward and spoke to him soothingly.

"What are you talking about, Fourth Brother? We are all family, how can I force you to die?"

Hearing this, Shang Yu'an gave a bitter smile, then knelt down in front of Shang Yukuan and kowtowed.

"My father is gone, and Wulang is also sick with no visible symptoms. Poor Wulang's wife is pregnant with a baby, and I don't know if she will live to see the birth. I beg you, big brother, to have mercy on us and save our whole family."

You have to pick on the weak ones when you want to pick on them, and you have to kneel down and beg for mercy only when you are soft-hearted.

He has lived in the Duke's Mansion for many years. If he still doesn't understand this, he must be blind.

As expected, Shang Yukuan felt very sorry after hearing about the "miserable situation" of the fifth room, and he spoke out immediately.

"The third branch has moved to the house in Guihua Lane. If you don't mind, you can move in there too. Father originally had two houses, and it would be bad to let Fifth Uncle go there during the holidays and feel uneasy."

Hearing this, Mrs. Wei became furious.

Although moving to Guihua Lane was not a big deal, she had made many enemies with the third and fifth rooms in the past few months.

If these two families conspired together and put all their efforts into dealing with her, wouldn't they be asking for trouble?

So, he started by giving some advice.

"Master, why don't we ask the doctor to take a look first? It's not right to move house in the first month of the year. Besides, Fifth Uncle is gone, so we should take care of the funeral first. If the coffin is not placed in the new house, it will be difficult to live in it in the future. Isn't it said that Fifth Uncle's wife is about to give birth? We should avoid any disturbance."

Mrs. Wei's words were well-reasoned and Du Jingyi felt that he had no way to refute them.

As expected, he is someone who has stayed in the back house for a long time, and he has the ability to change the world just by opening his mouth.

But Shang Yu'an was not someone he could easily deal with. When one move failed, he had another one. So he cried and shouted to Shang Yukuan.

"My eldest brother and I will take care of father's funeral, but Wulang and his wife cannot be delayed. It is as cold as an ice cellar in the manor. I am afraid that if they stay there any longer, they may not know how many days they will live. I hope my eldest brother will have mercy on them and let the two children go to Guihua Lane first."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Whoever could escape would escape, and his wife naturally had to take care of her daughter-in-law, so their family was able to escape from danger.

Mrs. Wei looked at Shang Yu'an coldly, and he would settle for the second best.

"Okay, okay, I'll have the housekeeper tell Wu Lang and his wife to move in first. As for your uncle's funeral, you can go to the accountant's office and get a thousand taels to hold a grand ceremony."

After hearing this, no one had anything to refute.

Although Mrs. Wei was not happy about it, she had to pay this little bit of money.

Shang Yu'an had been locked up in the farm for some time, so he knew nothing about what was happening outside. He thought that only their fifth branch was missing from the Duke's Mansion.

But I still feel confused. How could the third room be willing to move out?

So looking at Mrs. Wei's expression, which showed a bit more certainty, it was obvious that she must have used some vicious method again.

Just as Du Jingyi thought, after a few things were done, Dongyuan was completely cleared.

Even when Shang Yu'an came back to attend the funeral, he didn't notice their existence.

Instead, he blamed all the disaster on Mrs. Wei.

Seeing this, Du Jingyi had some thoughts, wanting to make Madam Wei unhappy, otherwise she would live a comfortable life, wouldn't it be unfair to her grandmother's "illness" this time? So she started to think about it, and looked at her husband.

Shang Ji was not stupid either. After being silent for most of the day, he finally spoke.

"My fifth uncle has passed away, and I, as his nephew, cannot just ignore him. How about this, my fourth brother and I each give 500 taels, and my seventh brother, who is not married yet, should give 300 taels, which will also be considered as a decent gift to my fifth uncle."

Five hundred taels was like a drizzle to Shang Ji.

But for Shang Silang, it was a breath of anger.

The Duke's household had already contributed 1,000 taels, so why did they have to pay more? He was good at calculating, and he did a comprehensive calculation.
