Danger!Hou Men's legitimate daughter, she was cruel and ruthless after her rebirth

Chapter 6 Setting up a mourning hall
Shen Yu'an understood Peixia's little thoughts, but she just pretended not to know.

To her, the King of the North Wing was just an extremely annoying stranger whom she had never met before.

At the beginning, he openly refused to marry, claiming that he was not interested in women, and said that if the marriage partner was her brother Shen Huaizhi, he could consider it.

She refused to marry him, but she actually humiliated her brother!

It's utterly abominable!
"Don't mention the North Wing King from now on. It's bad luck!"

As soon as Peixia walked to the door, her foot got caught on the threshold and she almost fell.

No sleep for one night.

In the early morning, after Shen Yu'an washed up, she went to visit Shen Huaizhi.

As soon as I left the small courtyard, I noticed that the front yard was too noisy, and there was the faint sound of Taoist priests chanting sutras. I immediately turned around and went to the front yard.

The closer we get, the clearer the sound of chanting, accompanied by the cries of many people.

She couldn't help quickening her pace.

When I arrived at the front yard, I found that the yard was covered with white silk hangings. The main hall had been converted into a mourning hall, and a brand new dark coffin was placed in the center.

In front of the coffin, there is an Eight Immortals table with an incense burner on it. Two Taoist priests sit on the left and right, one chanting sutras and the other hitting cymbals.

A copper basin was placed one meter away from the Eight Immortals' table, and the younger members of the Shen family were crying and burning paper.

On the left and right sides, there were two rows of weeping women, including aunts from the mansion and aunts from the side.

Mr. Pei sat blankly next to the coffin, his eyes were red and bloodshot, and he was motionless and dull.

Shen Yu'an was completely stunned. She searched around the crowd and saw Shen Fengnian who was talking to the housekeeper Zhao Shen.

He walked over quickly and said, "Father."

Shen Fengnian told Zhao Shen, "All relatives from far away, except my wife's family, must be notified."

"Also, send someone to Shuiyue An to pick up the third lady."

"Over in Li County, let people rush over to send the news and bring the second master and his family back as soon as possible."

Zhao Shen agreed one by one and left in a hurry.

Shen Yu'an frowned, "What is daddy doing?"

Shen Fengnian looked tired and looked at Shen Yu'an with complicated eyes, "Follow me."

The father and daughter went to the library.

As soon as they reached the second floor, Shen Yu'an couldn't help but ask, "I said yesterday that the third brother still has a chance to survive. Dad set up a mourning hall early this morning. What is this?"

Shen Fengnian looked deeply at Shen Yu'an, his eyes filled with heaviness and complexity that Shen Yu'an couldn't understand.

"Master Tzu Chi arrived yesterday and said that your brother had a chance of survival. I was so excited as a father that I forgot to think about the consequences."

"If your brother can really come back from the dead, it will definitely cause shock in the world. By then, Master Tzu Chi and you will be targeted by the world."

"Ordinary people can't do anything to you. That high-ranking person will definitely use all means to bring you and Tzu Chi under his command to ensure eternal life."

"So your brother cannot be resurrected, at least, not as Shen Huaizhi."

Shen Yu'an understood Shen Fengnian's intention in an instant, but couldn't explain what it felt like, "My father only has one son, the third brother. Setting up a mourning hall and mourning means that the Hou Mansion will have no successors."

"The title of Marquis of Pingxi was earned by my father who spent half of his life in the army at the cost of the lives of his two brothers. Is it worth giving up just because he was concerned about my safety?"

Shen Fengnian smiled bitterly, "Silly girl, I am doing this for my father not only for you, but also for the sake of the entire Pingxihou Mansion, General Shen's Mansion, and even the entire Shen family."

Shen Yu'an was confused. Her brother's resurrection would at most put her and Tzu Chi in danger, but how could it threaten the safety of the entire Shen family?

"My daughter doesn't understand what my father said."

"You don't need to understand." Shen Fengnian said in a deep voice, "About the piece of jade on your brother's body, you must not reveal it to anyone."

Shen Yu'an was even more confused, "Dad, do you know what Yujue is used for?" "Yes."

"Does daddy know where the jade jue came from? Why did the Tzu Chi monk say that the jade jue was returned to its original owner?"

Shen Fengnian's expression suddenly changed, "Does Master Tzu Chi really say that?"

"Yes." Shen Yu'an nodded, "He said that Abbot Huijue had a glimpse of the secret and calculated that my third brother would die, so before he died, he asked him to bring Yujue to the Shen Mansion in exchange for my third brother's chance of survival. "

Shen Fengnian looked shocked.

"If what Master Tzu Chi said is true, it means that Abbot Huijue wanted to save my third brother. But my father also said that the resurrection of my third brother from the dead would threaten the safety of the entire Shen family. Isn't that right? Explain that Abbot Huijue wants to harm the Shen family?"

Shen Yu'an analyzed step by step.

"No, Abbot Huijue will not harm the Shen family."

Shen Yu'an looked at Shen Fengnian in confusion, "My father believed that Abbot Huijue would not harm the Shen family, but also believed that his brother's resurrection would put the entire Shen family in danger. Isn't this contradictory?"

Shen Fengnian's mind was in a mess. Faced with his daughter's questions, he didn't know how to answer.

Abbot Huijue should know that when Hun Jue appears in the world, there will be strife in the world.

If that's the case, why should someone send Hun Jue back to the Shen Mansion before passing away?

"Daddy..."

"Don't ask, as a father, you are confused." Shen Fengnian looked tired, "I have sent the news of your third brother's death to all the major families. People will come to express their condolences soon. I will go to receive the guests."

After saying that, he left.

Shen Yu'an frowned. She didn't know what her father was worried about, but she didn't want her third brother to die in the eyes of the world.

When her third brother returns, he must live uprightly in the sunshine as Shen Huaizhi.

After thinking for a moment, I already had a calculation in my mind.

After leaving the library, he returned to Lanyue Pavilion and wrote a letter for the Qingyi guards to deliver to Huguo Temple.

*
Huguo Temple.

Under the bodhi tree, a handsome monk in white clothes and a handsome man in black clothes were playing chess.

You come and I go, game after game.

One is leisurely and unhurried, while the other is decisive and pressing every step of the way.

After the last piece fell, Ming Cangyu's dark eyes looked at Tzu Chi coldly, "You lost again."

Tzu Chi smiled gently and said, "My lord, your chess skills are superb."

Ming Cangyu randomly fiddled with the word "Ning" on the chessboard with his fingers.

"Is this person in Shengjing?"

"Your Majesty, this poor monk has no ability to divine."

Ming Cangyu casually disrupted the chess pieces. He went to the capital to find Abbot Huijue, but he did not expect that Huijue had passed away.

"The Shen family has already started to hold funerals. Can Shen Huaizhi really come back from the dead?"

"What Master Uncle Huijue said is true, but the poor monk cannot predict when he will be resurrected."

Ming Cangyu sneered lightly, "If it weren't for Huijue's banner, I would really suspect that it was you, the monk, who was talking nonsense and cheating."

If people could be resurrected after death, wouldn't the world be in chaos?
"Uncle Tzu Chi, Miss Shen's Second Lady personally sent a letter."

The young novice monk stepped forward and presented the letter respectfully, keeping his head lowered and not daring to look at Ming Cangyu.
