Chapter 375: Really Not Needed



Up ahead, the mourning hall has been set up.

Xu Minghui was also put into the coffin. The white banners were hung, the incense was burned, and the servants were all in white. Except for the mourners who had not arrived, the atmosphere was already very tense.

As the saying goes, one does not cry until he sees the coffin. Xu Mingshan stood in front of the coffin, thinking of his sister, and sat on the ground, crying with his mouth wide open. Mrs. Xu was also burning paper beside him, mumbling something.

Liu walked back and forth, pointing out the places that needed adjustment.

As the couple was talking, Wen Yu looked out and said, "The Marquis left a day early. I don't know if he can be brought back."

Qi Wu said, "I sent a pigeon letter to my eldest brother. He plans to return after the 15th. Let's see if I can advance the time after receiving the letter. I just took a look around the shop, and Zhuzhu asked if they wanted to come."

Wen Yu shook her head, "It's very chaotic now, don't come over yet."

Suddenly, Xiaoxiang came over from behind and whispered something to Wenyu.

Wen Yu smiled and said to Qi Wu, "The snitch in Aunt Liu's courtyard is dead."

At this moment, Tan was furious in the room: "Are you all dead? Three of you can't even keep an eye on one person?!"

Two maids and a girl knelt in front of her, still in shock. One of the maids said, "Juxiang and I went to get breakfast and left it with Mrs. Zhang."

Mrs. Zhang said, "I didn't leave. I just stood at the gate for a while. She kicked over the stool and made a lot of noise, but I really didn't hear it!"

It turned out that the two of them went to get breakfast, and Mrs. Zhang was guarding the door. Just then, a familiar woman passed by, so she walked to the gate and said a few words.

When the meal was brought and the door was opened to let it in, I saw that the bench had fallen to the ground and the snitch was hanging on the beam, not shaking... It was obvious that it had been a while.

Tan's guard stepped forward and said, "Madam, I checked and it looks like suicide. He used his own belt. I'll check and there's nothing unusual."

If it weren't for the fact that this guard was still useful, Tan would have definitely cursed! Nothing unusual? That bitch had just completed the task and was waiting to receive the reward, why would she commit suicide at this time? She pointed at the three guards and said, "They are all useless. Since they can't do anything, tie them up and sell them off!"

The three men pleaded loudly, but she remained unmoved.

Instead, he was thinking in his heart, what Wen Yu said yesterday was not just bragging, she was really ruthless. Killing someone in front of him! Yesterday... it seemed that there was a girl who was quite skilled.

Suddenly, I felt a chill on my neck. If she was really angry, would she dare to hang me on the beam? Only then did I realize that Wen Yu's methods were not weaker than mine.

Little girl, how could that be? But then I thought about my past...

OK!

She stood up and went to her own small storeroom, opening the box in the corner, which contained some old sundries that she had always prevented others from throwing away. She seemed to remember that there was also that kind of medicine, but after searching for a while, she couldn't find it.

"Go to the second gate and bring Mrs. Zhou over!" she came out and ordered.

The young couple in front chatted for a while, and Qi Wu said he had to go out for a while as there was something going on with the Crown Prince.

Wen Yu quickly asked: "I haven't asked these two days, how is Your Highness?"

Qi Wu smiled and said, "The court is in chaos. The Crown Prince is a little impatient, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very calm. He even wrote a few pieces of calligraphy that day and selected one to send to the palace."

Wen Yu also lost her patience: "It's been several days, why are you still dragging it on like this?"

"I still have a lot to do, so I'll just follow the routine..."

Laba was very proud, he got the job done when he had the chance, it went very smoothly. It was ridiculous that the stupid guard checked for a long time, and he seemed to be quite experienced... It was a pity that you could not see the handiwork of my aunt?

She continued to watch from the dark, and after a while, the three guards were pushed out crying. After another while, Tan's maid led Zhou, who was at the door, in.

Soon, Mrs. Zhou came out.

Laba thought about it and followed.

Mrs. Zhou went out and walked westward. It was not long, and she looked left and right and back. This made Laba dodge constantly, which was very annoying.

After walking for quite a while, she finally stopped at the door of a small courtyard. She went up and knocked on the door. Someone opened the door and went in without saying anything. After a while, a man came out of the courtyard in a hurry.

Laba rolled his eyes. It looked like he was delivering a letter! Was it a verbal message or was he carrying it in his arms? Let's follow him and take a look!

After walking for a while, she saw the direction the man was heading, chose the path inside, and ran as soon as she entered. As she ran, she secretly sighed that she had been pampered for more than a year, and her kung fu had fallen behind. Listen to the loud footsteps!

My body feels as heavy as a pig.

Although she thought so, someone happened to open the gate next to her. She felt a gust of wind and a woman seemed to float past her. She disappeared in the blink of an eye. She was shocked: I saw a female ghost in broad daylight?

Laba got to the front and walked back on the main road, meeting the man face to face. At this time, there were many people on the street, and some people were standing in the middle of the road talking, and the man passed by them.

Laba came over and bumped into him lightly. Everyone felt that they were squeezed, but they didn't take it seriously. Those who were chatting continued to chat, and the man continued to walk.

But a letter came into Laba's hands. She didn't run with the letter, but bought some snacks on the roadside, ate while following him, and saw where he was going.

After walking for a while, they saw the man enter a big door.

On the gate, there are gold words on a black background: Zhou Mansion.

Laba suppressed her excitement. It turned out that the old lady was really related to this Mr. Zhou! The one who met at Fanghua Temple was really him! Now that she knew, Laba did not dare to be careless. The subordinates of that person were all good. She did not stop, lowered her head to fiddle with the snacks, eating while walking. So, she did not see that the man came out jogging in a short while, sweating profusely, looking for something with his head down.

Laba did not return home, but quickly returned to the small courtyard where Mrs. Zhou went, chose a corner, opened the letter, and read it carefully. After thinking for a while, he decided to keep the letter.

After waiting there for a long time, she saw the man running back from afar, so she threw the letter at the gate. The man finally came back home, saw the letter on the ground, and was overjoyed. He picked it up, put it carefully in his pocket, and hurried back.

Laba claps his hands and goes home!

At this moment, Mrs. Xu finally found a suitable opportunity to talk to Wen Yu alone.

Now that she had chosen the path, she lowered her attitude: "Fifth Grandma, thanks to you yesterday, I was able to figure out Minghui's matter. At least, she didn't leave in a confused state. I am actually very grateful to you. It's just that the scene may be a little disrespectful to you, I'm sorry..."

Wen Yu didn't want to pay attention to her. This woman was cruel and greedy, and she was too careful to take risks. Just two nice words, and you expect me to help you? How could it be so easy?

"You're too polite. After all, she is your aunt. She has done a very decent job in mourning. How could I care about that?"

Mrs. Xu nodded gratefully: "Fifth Grandma, I never thought that the old lady in your family would be like this! She is a famous philanthropist in Beijing... You don't know, Minghui said that in the entire Qi family, only the old lady treated her sincerely.

So, for the sake of the old lady, she got angry with her mother-in-law. She also envied you and quarreled with you. In the end, she even quarreled with her husband. Oh, this silly girl! In fact, I also had doubts and advised her: How can you not be close to your mother-in-law and stick to your step-grandmother! I swear, I really advised her!"

This is not something I would say that would be wrong.

Wen Yu smiled faintly: "You don't need to swear, I believe you."

"But she didn't listen! Poor Minghui, such a good life is gone, her son is gone, and even her life is gone." She sobbed hard, "The old lady really killed people invisibly for the title! It's so cruel! Fifth Grandma, you are the one who is in the most danger next, so you must be careful!"

"Thank you for your reminder." Wen Yu said calmly.

"Fifth Grandma!" Mrs. Xu suddenly bowed to Wen Yushen.

"What are you doing?"

"Fifth Grandma, to be honest, the Xu family has had a hard time! Minghui's eldest brother... I can't even mention him. For so many years, we have relied on Minghui's help to make ends meet. If she dies, we will have to sell our house and beg on the streets!"

She covered her face and cried bitterly.

"It's not as serious as you say!" Wen Yu disagreed.

"Really, Fifth Madam. Our house has been mortgaged once! The key is, I have figured it out. Minghui was used enough by the old lady, and now she is no longer needed... What about Aunt Liu's witchcraft? I don't believe that! All these means are aimed at the eldest house."

She expressed it sincerely, but Wen Yu felt bored. What's the point of saying this now?

Mrs. Xu continued, "Originally, I wanted to expose the old lady's true colors and avenge Minghui! Anyway, barefoot people are not afraid of those wearing shoes. If it doesn't work, I will really go to the Dali Temple!"

Wen Yu nodded: "Mrs. Xu is loyal and courageous. Wen Yu admires her."

"But I'm worried that with the Xu family's limited resources, it might not work out, and we'll be stuck in there for nothing!"

"Well, it's very rational of you to think of this!" Wen Yu said indifferently.

"Fifth Grandma, there will definitely be a fight between the eldest house and the old lady. Although Minghui is gone, we are closer, right? Besides, there is Baoer! I'll be frank with you. If you need me to do anything, just tell me. But, can you also help me get some benefits?"

Wen Yu smiled and said, "Grandma Xu, first of all, Minghui is the eldest daughter of the Xu family, and she died giving birth to a child for the Qi family. No matter from which perspective, the Qi family will not let the Xu family down in vain.

Besides, you trust me and entrust me with the task. Even for Baoer's sake, I will do my best to help you get something. But I really don't need you to do anything for me."

The next chapter will be late. Everyone is busy now. I will read it in the evening...
