Longevity starts from strengthening internal organs

Chapter 224 The secret struggle
Cloud family.

The death of Yun Yuan's father, Yun Anbang, did not cause much panic in the big family.

In fact, the Yun family had already prepared matters related to the funeral a few days ago.

So when Yun Anbang finally passed away, everything went on in an orderly and orderly manner.

But these have nothing to do with Yunyuan at this time.

At this time, he was wearing heavy filial piety, kneeling in front of the coffin, performing the last duty of a son of man.

And on the opposite side of him was a young man kneeling, also dressed in heavy filial piety, and his facial features were also vaguely similar to Yun Yuan.

It's just that unlike Yun Yuan who has been kneeling there with his head bowed and silent, this young man is a little restless, and will look up from time to time.

At this moment, Yun Yuan's stepmother Yun Lin walked in with a bowl of soup.

"Xiaohao, you've been kneeling for a long time, take a break first, this is the lotus seed soup that Mom asked to make for you, drink it now while no one is here."

Yun Hao hummed and drank with his head buried.

Seeing her son drinking the lotus seed soup in mouthfuls, Yunlin's eyes were full of love.

But when she turned her head to look at Yun Yuan, her expression changed.

become full of malice.

"Hmph!" She snorted coldly.

Although the sound was not loud, it could still be heard clearly in the coffin.

No one speaks.

Everyone knows that this Yunlin family is not easy to mess with, especially at this time, no one dares to touch the mold.

Yun Yuan naturally heard it too.

But he still knelt there and didn't even lift his head.

Yun Yuan knew very well that his stepmother must be racking his brains to figure out how to deal with him.

And the only thing I can do is to be steady, and I must not be irritated by it.

Because now the advantages are all on my side, as long as I can survive until my father is buried safely, then as the eldest son, I can inherit everything logically.

This is something Yunlin can't change no matter how much he dislikes it.

But the premise is that you can't make mistakes, especially you can't be irritated by Yunlin's tricks, otherwise, once a conflict breaks out, it will add many variables.

Upholding this idea, Yun Yuan was completely indifferent.

Seeing this, although Yunlin was annoyed, there was nothing he could do for a while.

At this moment, I heard the sound of shouting from outside.

"The master of Iron Sword Sect came to worship."

"The head of the Red Deer Gate came to worship."

"The master of Xuanguangtang came to worship."

Shouting three times in a row, the originally quiet coffin shack became commotion.

Because the three people who came here are all famous figures in the Jianghu in Yandu City.

During his lifetime, Yun Anbang loved to make friends with these people in the world.

Now that he is dead, it is normal for these people to come to worship.

All of a sudden, many people wearing filial piety, whether they were real or not, all showed grief and knelt down and cried bitterly.

Yunlin's face was happy.

But the joy was gone in a flash, and then Mrs. Yunlin sat on the chair beside the coffin, pretending to be sad.

At this time, the three sect masters walked into the spirit shed together.

They first burned incense in the coffin, and then came forward to comfort the family members with kind words.

It's just that they all ignored Yun Yuan, who was kneeling beside him intentionally or unintentionally, and gathered around Yun Lin.

"Sister-in-law, please mourn!"

"Yeah, brother Anbang is gone, don't be too sad, there is nephew Yunhao who needs to be trained, so you must hold on."

Yun Lin wiped away the non-existent tears in the corner of his eyes, and said in a low tone: "I know, thank you brothers, you all have hearts."

The three of them comforted Yun Hao with nice words, and then they left.

During the whole process, the three of them didn't even look at Yun Yuan, who was also kneeling in front of the coffin, as if he didn't exist.

At this time, many people had already noticed something strange, but no one dared to say anything.

Yun Yuan still knelt there with a calm face, showing no signs of happiness or anger at all.

The atmosphere in the mourning shed became very oppressive.

Immediately afterwards, the number of people who came to worship began to gradually increase, and most of them were Yun Anbang's former friends.

But without exception, these people just comforted Yun Lin and Yun Hao's mother and son, and never paid attention to Yun Yuan.

Although he tried his best to conceal it, Yunlin's expression still revealed a look of complacency.

This was planned by her long ago, in order to embarrass Yun Yuan.

After all, there are so many people who come to worship, but everyone only recognizes our mother and son, and ignores you, the eldest son in name.

This invisibly shows an attitude.

This is what Yunlin wanted.

And I hope to use this method to create the illusion that my Yunhao is the well-deserved heir.

Although it was just an illusion, Yunlin felt that as long as everyone recognized it, it would not be an illusion.

Yun Yuan naturally understood this too.

At this moment, although he looked very calm on the outside, he was extremely anxious inside.

Although he knew that the Yunlin family would definitely make small moves, he did not expect that none of the friends his father had made during his lifetime, no matter whether they were in the court or in the market, all of them expressed their support for their mother and son.

Yun Yuan knew that this must have been caused by the Lin family behind Yun Lin's family, otherwise it would not have such an effect.

This shows how important a strong matrilineal clan is.

But my grandfather's family is far away in Linhai County, out of reach, and I am alone, how can I fight against the Lin family whose base camp is in Yandu City?

Accompanied by the arrival of another wave of people, Yun Yuan closed his eyes, listened to those compliments towards Yun Hao, and compared with his own side's neglect.

His fists hidden in his sleeves could not help but clenched silently, and his nails were even deeply embedded in the flesh.

But at this moment, only a shout came from the courtyard.

"Zhao Ya came to worship."

Hearing this name, Yun Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, and turned his head to look in disbelief.

He saw a tall and heroic man walk into the coffin with his head held high, reached out to take a stick of grass incense from the table, lit it with the lamp, waved it at the coffin, and then inserted it into the incense burner.

After finishing these, Zhao Ya stepped up to Yun Yuan and said loudly.

"Young Master Yun, I would like to express my condolences."

The Eldest Young Master's voice was extremely ear-piercing in this spiritual shed.

At least Yunlin's face changed instantly.

The atmosphere she created with great pains and pains, was directly ruined by this sentence of Mr. Yun.

So Yun Lin glared at Zhao Ya, and at the same time asked in a low voice to the people beside him.

"Who is this guy?"

In fact, it was not only her who was puzzled, but many people present were a little surprised.

Because they had never seen Zhao Ya before, they also felt very unfamiliar with this name.

"Looking at this son's outstanding temperament, he should be the son of a wealthy family."

"How can there be a wealthy family named Zhao in Yandu City? Besides, if you come from a family, how could you not add it when calling the name just now? I guess this should be an ordinary person."

"No, why does this name sound familiar to me? It seems to be someone from the world."

While these people were talking quietly, Yun Yuan also woke up from the initial astonishment, and then nodded gratefully at Zhao Ya.

"Thank you Shaoxia Zhao."

He really didn't expect that Zhao Ya would come to pay respects and openly stand up for himself.

For him who was deliberately left out, this was like sending charcoal in the snow, and he was naturally grateful.

Zhao Ya only smiled when he heard the words.

The so-called taking people's money to help people eliminate disasters, since I have taken so many black jerky meat from Yunyuan, now that he is in trouble, I naturally want to help.

But Zhao Ya didn't expect such a situation before coming here.

Originally, he just wanted to use the name of worship to come over to see what was going on.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the coffin, he sensed that something was wrong.

Yunyuan is lonely and deserted here, he is the only one.

On the other hand, it was very lively on the other side. Many people who came to worship did not leave, but stayed to talk with Yunlin, which formed a very sharp contrast.

Zhao Ya understood what was going on at that time.

It has to be said that a woman like Yunlin has no other skills, but she is first-class in handling such things.

This is obviously disgusting Yunyuan, and creates an atmosphere where everyone is deserted and no one can help.

Zhao Ya's response to this is also very simple, that is, to directly call out Yun Yuan's identity and deliberately put pressure on this Yun Lin family.

At this time Zhao Ya squatted down and whispered to Yun Yuan.

"It seems that your stepmother has not given up. You have to be more careful. This matter should not end so easily."

Yun Yuan took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I understand."

Zhao Ya patted Yun Yuan on the shoulder, got up and was about to leave.

At this moment, someone called out to him.

"Wait a moment."

Zhao Ya stopped, turned his head to look at the person who stopped him, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Is something wrong?"

It was Yunlin who called to stop him.

She looked at Zhao Ya unwillingly, "Who is your Excellency? Why haven't you been mentioned by your husband before?"

"I'm just an ordinary person. Naturally, I can't get into the ears of you dignitaries, but I have known Mr. Yun once before, so I came here to worship after hearing the news. Why? Not allowed?"

Yunlin was speechless for a moment.

Yes.

When people come to worship at the door, I have no reason to refuse at all.

But she was unwilling to accept this result no matter what.

Just as she was searching for an excuse to continue questioning, a surprised voice came from outside the door.

"Brother Zhao?"

Afterwards, Yunjin was seen stepping into the coffin shed.

"It really is you, Brother Zhao!" Yun Jin shouted in surprise.

Zhao Ya nodded, "When I heard the bad news, I came here to pay my respects."

However, Yun Jin saw the clue at a glance, especially noticing the deserted side of Yun Yuan, and an angry look appeared on his face.

But at this moment, she couldn't say anything, she could only say: "Thank you Brother Zhao for coming to comfort my brother."

As she spoke, she came to Yun Yuan's side, lifted her skirt and knelt down.

Yun Yuan was a little surprised, "Jin'er, what are you doing?"

"Wake up with you, although we are not as capable as others and can get so many people to come to the platform, but I am your cousin, so it makes sense to stay with you." Yunjin said loudly on purpose.

Yun Lin's complexion turned blue and white, but she really didn't dare to say anything.

After all, Yunjin is the daughter of the second wife, so she dare not provoke her easily.

Because of this chaos, someone suddenly remembered something and shouted loudly: "I remembered, he was the one who confronted Yan Tianjiao from Xijian Villa some time ago!"

Swish.

Many people's eyes were on Zhao Ya.

There was shock, bewilderment, and doubt in these gazes.

After all, they couldn't figure it out, how did Yunyuan get in touch with this young man?
Especially Yunlin's face turned dark after hearing these words.

Zhao Ya just laughed at this, and then walked away.

He didn't have much interest in the dogs and dogs inside these wealthy families.

But it is quite interesting to look at it from an outsider's point of view.

A group of people are fighting each other for a false righteous name, and even a look or a word hides deep meaning. Isn't this a brain disease or something?
Zhao Ya left Yun Mansion and returned to the merchant.

After returning home, Shang Jingchuan, who hadn't shown much for many days, was also at home with an excited look on his face.

As soon as he saw Zhao Ya, he stretched out his hand and grabbed him, then said very excitedly: "Xiao Ya, no matter what, you have to have a good drink with me tonight."

Zhao Ya smiled in surprise, "What makes you so happy?"

"Hey, I just got the news that tomorrow the Holy Majesty will hold a great court meeting, and I will be appointed to my position at that time. Don't you think this is good news?"

"Well, that is indeed good news worth celebrating." Zhao Ya said.

Although he had no sense of what kind of official position Shang Jingchuan was about to take, even the court to which Shang Jingchuan was loyal and the so-called Holy One had no sense.

But this did not prevent Zhao Ya from congratulating him.

After all, everyone has their own choices and ideas. Although I don't understand it, I can respect it.

"Hey, let me just say, Xiaoya, you know me best, unlike that girl Luoluo, who actually said that the current situation is undecided, and we can't draw conclusions in advance. This is a settled matter, what else is undecided?"

Shang Jingchuan rubbed his hands excitedly, paced back and forth and said.

"What position do you think the majesty will arrange for me this time? Is it too soon to enter the cabinet? I think it's better to keep a low profile and do the work of the family first, and wait for a year or so If you go up further, people will have no complaints, don’t you think?”

"Well, not bad." What else could Zhao Ya say to this, he could only reply politely.

But it was this kind of perfunctory that made Shang Jingchuan feel as if he had found a treasure. He didn't let go of Zhao Ya, and chattered about his feelings.

"The servant of the Ministry of Rites is not bad, but it's a bit too much for me to take up a real job right after I come back, so the most suitable position for me is to be a job under the door. It has both a rank and a false job, and it's very suitable for support. After waiting for a while ...."

Zhao Ya could only listen helplessly to this, if Shang Luoluo hadn't finally made a move to rescue him from Shang Jingchuan, it would be difficult for him to escape.

"I'm sorry, my father is like this when he encounters happy things, sometimes he speaks incoherently like a child." Shang Luoluo said helplessly.

Zhao Ya smiled, "I don't blame Uncle Shang, after all, this is something he has dreamed of for many years, and now that he finally has the chance to realize it, it's normal to be excited."

"Do you really think there is a chance to realize it?" Shang Luoluo asked suddenly.
