Liu secretly observed Wen Yu and found that she was sitting there upright, neither annoyed nor flustered, with a calm attitude.
He is really a man who can keep his composure!
He glanced at Zhu again and saw that she was frowning and looking at the Xu family with disdain.
After Xu had finished crying, Wen Yu said softly, "Help Grandma Xu up quickly and show Grandpa Xu a seat. If you two have anything to say, sit down and talk slowly."
Xu Mingshan usually had no chance to see the women in the Qi family's backyard. He was crying happily, but when he heard the voice and saw the appearance, he was stunned... Is there such a beautiful woman in the world?
There was a funeral at home, so Wen Yu did not wear mourning clothes, but she wore very simple clothes, which made her skin look whiter than snow and her figure look like ice crystal.
Xu Mingshan's heart froze instantly. He immediately forgot about his sister's death and stopped crying. But he wanted to attract Wen Yu's attention, so he pretended to be sad, grief-stricken, wronged, and in need of sympathy.
He shook his head and sighed, then sat down. His eyes were on Wen Yu, examining her from her hair to her shoes over and over again.
That look didn't even give a single cent to Liu and Zhu.
This was too obvious, so Zhu naturally noticed it. At first, she was secretly happy: Wen Yu, don't you like to be in the spotlight? Then let him take a good look at you! Let you embarrass yourself! But after a long time, Zhu felt something else: this guy, he is too much, right? So, she didn't even have a chance to embarrass herself? Before everyone started talking, she was already furious.
A maid helped Grandma Xu up and asked her to sit next to Xu Mingshan. Xu Mingshan sat upright, with the air of a young master. Grandma Xu didn't know what kind of person her husband was? At this time, he only cared about looking at beauties? He was really useless!
Wen Yu said, "Uncle Xu, Grandma Xu, the death of my eldest sister-in-law is shocking and sad. You two must take care of yourselves and mourn!"
Xu Mingshan replied seriously, "Thank you for your comfort, madam. My sister..." Xu Minghui was his biological sister and had always been good to him. Now that he thought about it, she was gone. There was no hope for her in the future. He felt really sad, and his eyes turned red again. "She married Qi Xiao and was very happy all day. She was about to give birth to a son, but she ended up like this... I feel like I was cut by a knife!"
He started with a high pitch but sang low.
Mrs. Xu was furious.
Wen Yu nodded in agreement: "It just so happened that my grandfather and eldest brother were not at home due to work. The old lady fell ill. My mother was heartbroken and had to take care of Baoer herself... So, it is Third Aunt who is taking me to take care of the funeral. You two can tell Third Aunt if you have any requests."
Mrs. Xu didn't let her husband say anything and interrupted him, "Let's not talk about that for now! My Minghui was brought here by the Qi family in a sedan chair! She was about to give birth to the eldest grandson of the Qi family, but she was killed in such an unclear way! Shouldn't the Qi family give us an explanation first? Or are they bullying us by relying on their wealth and power?"
Wen Yu said nothing, meaning to let Liu speak.
Mrs. Liu said, "It happened suddenly and in such a short time. We only have some clues now, and we haven't verified it yet. So, I can't explain it to you two. Besides, Wen Yu just said that the head of the Qi family is either absent or sick. We are just taking care of the affairs. As for what you mentioned... there will definitely be an explanation. Don't worry, you two. The dead are the greatest, let's work together to let Minghui die in a dignified way..."
Mrs. Xu glanced at her husband, who was still looking at Wen Yu with a mixture of anger and infatuation. She felt sick and said with a squinting look, "As expected, after all, they are not our own relatives, so there is no need to worry! Poor sister, she was so happy waiting to have a child. In the end, one body and two lives were lost. How tragic..."
She started wailing again.
Liu didn't think so. This matter had nothing to do with her. Besides, what kind of trouble could the Xu family possibly cause? "Grandma Xu, I'm here to take care of the funeral as ordered. Otherwise, you can talk to our Fifth Grandma. After all, the eldest sister-in-law values her the most!"
Someone came in to talk to her, and Liu took the opportunity to sit aside and start working seriously.
Seeing that Liu had hidden away, Mrs. Xu lowered her eyes and became anxious: "I was here yesterday and saw it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears! My sister was murdered! Even if the Marquis is not at home, what about the old lady? Doesn't she love our Minghui the most? Is she feeling guilty now? If you don't give us an explanation, we will go to the Dali Temple and beat the drums!"
Wen Yu said softly, "Sister Xu, the old lady really loves Ming Hui the most. Ming Hui has always been her concern. So, she knows more about it than us. Why don't you go to the backyard to look for her?"
Mrs. Xu looked at Wen Yu warily. She had already figured out the whole story. It was the old lady who harmed Ming Hui. But... that damn old lady hid so deeply, and now she has revealed her hideous face... I can make a fuss, but I dare not accuse her of being the one who did it.
Wen Yu knew at a glance that Mrs. Xu wanted to take advantage of him but was unwilling to contribute: "Aunt San, let's go take a look at the coffin?!"
Liu nodded and stood up.
Wen Yu got up from her seat and walked to Sister Xu's side: "Brother Xu, Sister Xu, the coffin is still very important to Minghui. Let's go and take a look together first?"
Xu Mingshan smelled a pleasant aroma and stood up quickly: "Yes, yes, yes. Let's go and see if the coffin is ready!"
Xu felt sad because she didn't dare to do it and her husband was also so cowardly.
Liu walked in front, and Wen Yu brought the maid and accompanied Mrs. Xu.
Xu Mingshan followed behind and asked softly, "Excuse me, was the coffin arranged by Madam?"
Mrs. Xu turned around and glared at him, then even mentioned Wen Yu and hurried away.
The coffins were made by the most famous shop in Beijing: Xianhelou. They were made of the finest nanmu wood, painted black and shiny, and were made with high quality workmanship. You could tell at a glance that they were very valuable.
Xu Mingshan was also knowledgeable: "Madam is so thoughtful! My sister finally..." His eyes turned red again.
Just at this moment, Qi Wu came in from outside.
Wen Yu looked at Qi Wu and said, "Husband!"
Qi Wu came over and looked at Wen Yu with concern: "Are you tired?"
Wen Yu replied softly: "Not bad."
Mrs. Xu looked at Qi Wu, then rolled her eyes at her husband. Did you see her husband? You have the nerve to flirt with me, but what can you do? I don't even look down on people like you! Suddenly, her mind was opened. No! I'm afraid that the Qi family's affairs this time can't be handled the same way as before.
Even if you have evidence against yourself, if no one cares and your husband is incompetent, what's the point of crying for a long time?
If the incident gets out of hand, it will ruin the reputation of the Qi family...but they are powerful and have a lot of mouths, so they can call a horse a zebra.
If the other party turns against you, you won’t be able to gain any benefit.
Moreover, I have to do it on my own, hiding it from this bastard, and keeping some tricks… Otherwise, even if I get some benefits, he will throw me into the casino in the blink of an eye, and there are creditors outside? Xu Minghui is gone, and I can’t support her in the future, so what will happen to my children? But how can I do this?
She rolled her eyes and thought, the old lady is an old fox! She is vicious and cruel, but she is smiling. Judging from her performance yesterday and today, she doesn't even want to pretend. The third lady is her own daughter-in-law.
Wen Yu...Yes! Find Wen Yu. Although Xu Minghui hated her the most, from what she had seen, she was generous and open-minded, had a good brain, was overbearing and arrogant, had the sweetest smile, and was the most favored by Madam Qi...
If you want to succeed, you must follow the right person!
At this moment, her mind became clear and she immediately moved towards Wen Yu...
Actually, I should have written it better. I just stopped thinking.
