Chapter 388: The Confinement Coffin

Seeing this, the Seventh Old Master looked at Du Jingyi seriously.

In the past, she was just a kind and smiling person, and I thought Shao Yu's wife was just a woman who was good at giving birth. But today, it seems a little different.

So, he didn't argue any further and just spoke directly to Gu Shaoyu.

"In that case, let's talk about it quickly. Once we have made it clear, we can go back and not delay Shao Yu from fulfilling his filial duty."

Du Jingyi had also seen some extremely good relatives, such as her own Du Si family, and the third and fifth rooms in the Duke's Mansion. However, those people were only there to make more money, so they were relatively easy to deal with.

But the Seventh Old Master in front of them was not short of money or power, so he never said much nonsense when confronting the couple. After seeing that Du Jingyi was being too bewildered, he immediately changed the subject and talked about other things.

Du Jingyi did not dare to underestimate such ability.

So she didn't say any more nonsense and sat next to Gu Shaoyu, looking at these uncles and guessing their purpose.

"What does Seventh Uncle want to discuss with me? Just tell me."

Gu Shaoyu was also a man who didn't like to talk nonsense. Instead of arguing with them here, he might as well go back to keep vigil or check on the children.

Seeing him open his mouth, the third old master jumped out. Although he acted like an elder, he still understood the rules and asked.

"It is said that now that my eldest sister-in-law is gone, she should be buried together with my eldest brother. But two days ago, when we asked someone to calculate an auspicious time for my eldest sister-in-law's burial, the person said that my eldest brother's grave could not be opened again, otherwise the feng shui of the Gu family would be ruined. So we chose another one next to his. Shao Yu, just take a look at the drawings first. If it is suitable, we will rush to have someone dig it out in the next two days. Don't worry, the regulations will not change!"

The third old master had good intentions and was thinking about the well-being of the entire family.

However, this did not sound so good to Gu Shaoyu. What did it mean that they could not be buried together? So before he even took the blueprint from the Third Old Master, he glanced at it with a cold look and then spoke.

"When my grandmother was still alive, she said that she would be buried with my grandfather after a hundred years, and the family had made all the necessary arrangements. But now my third uncle has believed some bullshit and is saying that they cannot be buried together. Isn't this a slap in my face?"

"Shao Yu, what I said is for the future of the Gu family's descendants, isn't it? It was this gentleman who calculated the grave of my eldest brother, and look at this branch, isn't it thriving now? Now he says that my eldest brother's grave cannot be opened, isn't it also for your own good?"

When the Third Old Master said this, his eyes were full of sincerity. If you didn't know him, you would think he was such a kind-hearted person.

Instead, Du Jingyi, who was standing by, asked a question when he saw this.

"Then where is this gentleman? I would like to ask him, since he was the one who chose the grave site for my grandfather, why didn't he say that the coffin could not be opened when it was put into the grave? Everyone knows that my grandparents loved each other deeply, so it is natural that they should be buried together in the coffin after a hundred years. Why didn't he say so at that time, and now it is not allowed? What kind of rule is this?"

"I can't explain it to a woman like you, but Shao Yu, you are now the acting head of the Gu family. You have the final say until Brother Tai grows up. If anything inappropriate happens because of this matter, don't say that your third uncle didn't warn you!"

The third old master just said it, and even included threats in his tone.

It’s a pity that Gu Shaoyu didn’t like this at all, and then he said.

"I'm sorry to have caused you, Third Uncle, too much trouble. Grandfather and grandmother must be buried together in the same coffin, so no matter which gentleman says it's not allowed, it's useless to me. The descendants of the Gu family must also remember this: if they can succeed, it's because of their own ability. If they can't succeed, it's useless even if their ancestors are buried in a gold vein!"

This one sentence left the third old master speechless, and he could only leave one sentence in frustration.

"Believe it or not, it's not my problem if something goes wrong!"

After saying this, he left. He was a little worried when he came, but became angry when he left, so that the servants of the Gu family didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing that the Third Old Master, one of the two mainstays, had left, the others unconsciously looked at the Seventh Old Master.

But the Seventh Old Master was not as aggressive as the Third Old Master. Seeing that Young Master Gu's attitude was harder than stone, he didn't say anything more, got up and left.

When he left, he didn't say a single word, obviously not wanting to argue with the couple.

Once the backbone left, the others naturally dispersed.

After they all left in a hurry, Gu Shaoyu asked.

"When you were choosing an auspicious time, did you ever hear that gentleman say that joint burials are not allowed?"

"No, everything is normal, so I don't know what this Third Uncle Grandfather is doing."

Hearing this, Gu Shaoyu fell silent.

If they were determined and had something to hide, they should have been dissuaded in various ways. Why did they leave after just a few words of disagreement?

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

But if this matter is dispensable, why do you have to wait so long and refuse to leave?

Therefore, the actions of these old guys made the couple a little confused, but they were not the kind of people who would dwell on it. The most important thing now was to bury their grandmother smoothly, and they could talk about other things later.

When the two returned to the mourning hall, the carriages outside the door started moving.

After the Seventh Old Master got on the carriage, he saw that there was someone else inside. It was his eldest son, Gu Yanguang. With a slightly complicated expression, he looked at his father and asked.

"Father, does Shao Yu agree?"

The Seventh Old Master shook his head, being much calmer than his son beside him.

"Then when the coffin is opened, if Shao Yu finds out something fishy, ​​won't he investigate those things thoroughly? If we are implicated, won't it be troublesome?"

Every word of Gu Yanguang's words fell into the ears of the Seventh Old Master. He certainly understood what his son was worried about, but only by remaining calm when faced with a collapse of Mount Tai can one remain invincible, and it was obvious that the eldest son did not do this well.

So, he said with a serious face.

"Why are you panicking? He may not be able to detect it. Even if he does, he won't be able to find out for a while. We have been operating in Jinling City for so many years. If we can't even deal with him, how can we plan a big business? You too, you are so anxious over a small matter. How can I, your father, hand over the burden of the family to you in the future?"

Just a few words made Gu Yanguang sober up a lot.

After taking a few deep breaths, he spoke to his father.
