Peach Blossom at the Bottom of the Fan

Chapter 172 Legal Affairs
Throughout the funeral, Xue Wanhua was very calm, but the more calm she was, the more worried Gu Sixiao became.

It is said that the second wife of the Xue family deserves to be in the business world for a long time, with a hard heart, and her husband died, and she didn't even shed tears at the funeral.

Such a woman is really cruel, no matter how rich the Xue family is, who would dare to join the Xue family again!
Those gossips have never stopped since the beginning.

Even Xue Wen, who has a gentle personality, was angry when he heard it, but Xue Wanhua didn't seem to hear it.

Do whatever you need to do, preside over the funeral, entertain the guests, return the gift, everything is done perfectly, but this kind of perfection really doesn't seem like the attitude that a funeral home should have.

Everyone was waiting to see Xue Wanhua's tears, but she just didn't shed even a drop.

"Didn't you say that your brother-in-law wouldn't want to see me cry?" Xue Wanhua whispered, even curling the corners of her lips.

In fact, Gu Sixiao didn't want to talk about this, what she wanted to talk about most was what she and Xue Wanhua said that night.

That night, she had clearly said that Li Chongyang might have caused Mu Feng's death, but Xue Wanhua didn't react at all as if she had never heard of it.

However, Xue Wanhua didn't give her a chance to continue talking about that matter.

She also thought about whether Xue Wanhua didn't want to pursue it, but she immediately rejected this idea.

Xue Wanhua is not an ordinary woman, since she knows about that, she will definitely do something.

The calmness at this moment is just a cover-up, but what will she do? !

Gu Sixiao couldn't figure it out, but secretly found Su Jingchun and asked him to help investigate the cause of Mu Feng's death.

Within two days, Su Jingchun called back, not only found the murderer, but also told her that besides his people, there was another group of people investigating this matter.

"It seems that your second sister has also started to act."

Yes, she already knew that Xue Wanhua would not give up like this.

Because he is a son-in-law, Mu Feng's coffin has not been closed at Xue's house for a long time, and it will be buried just after the first seven days.

On the day of the burial, before the coffin was raised, Mother Mu heard the news and ran to Xue's house.

As soon as she saw the coffin, the old lady cried so hard that she lay down on the coffin, crying bitterly, "You cruel son, how could you just leave mother behind and go away by yourself? Let me send someone with white hair Black-haired man, how can you bear it?!"

Raising her head suddenly, she looked at Xue Wanhua whose lips were trembling but didn't have a single tear, and suddenly jumped up.

Pounced forward, she tore Xue Wanhua, and asked loudly: "Why don't you cry? Why don't you cry?! Even if Feng'er is a son-in-law, he is still your husband! Why are you not sad at all?!"

Stretching her stomach, Xue Wanhua didn't dodge, and let the old lady beat her shoulders.

"Mother, please express your condolences—the official wouldn't want to see you so sad..."

"Do you still think about him? Do you have him in your heart?!" The old lady was crying, but she just grabbed Xue Wanhua's skirt and cried, "Poor Feng'er puts all his heart on you, even if you are a son-in-law. Do it willingly, even if you know that you have someone else in your heart, you don't care, but what about you? You didn't even shed a tear when he died..."

Literally moving slightly, Xue Wanhua looked at her mother-in-law who was pulling her, almost unable to speak.

Does Mu Feng know? !He actually knew...

Feeling agitated, Xue Wanhua turned her head away, a tear slipped quietly down her face, but when she turned her head again, her face was already calm.

"Help the old lady to rest." Instructing the servants, she turned her body slightly, "Mother, you rest first, and the daughter-in-law will see the official for the last time."

"You—you are hard-hearted..." Being pulled away, the old lady gritted her teeth and rushed forward again.

Gu Sixiao inserted herself between the two of them and blocked her way: "Mother-in-law, be careful with your grandson!"

"Grandson, where did my grandson come from..."

"Why not?" Gu Sixiao persuaded in a low voice: "Even if the child's surname is Xue, he is still brother-in-law's flesh and blood. You won't stop loving him just because his surname is not Mu? This is the only one in the Mu family. Bone and blood!"

Gritting her teeth, the old lady glared at Xue Wanhua, but she still listened to the words.

She didn't speak, she shook her head and turned aside step by step.

Gu Sixiao turned around and looked at Xue Wanhua, seeing that her expression was normal, as if she hadn't been affected by just now at all, she couldn't help shaking her head secretly.

Everyone is saying that Xue Wanhua is ruthless and ruthless, but who knows the pain in her heart?
It's not that there are no tears, it's not that I'm not sad, it's just that I don't want to let these irrelevant outsiders see it.

Seeing each other off along the way, Xue Wanhua wore a hemp belt and carried Mu Feng's spiritual tablet all the way to the cemetery outside the city.

The old lady of the Mu family still had a car, but Xue Wanhua came all the way.

When he reached the place, he could no longer stand still, but the spiritual seat in his hand was not loose.

The old lady of the Mu family cried bitterly on the coffin, saying that she would not be buried, but Xue Wanhua just watched quietly.

After a while, someone was called to pull away the old lady of the Mu family, and watched with his own eyes as people buried Mu Feng's coffin.

"Officer, I can only send you here - if there is a next life, don't run into me again."

Turning around, Xue Wanhua got into the carriage holding the spiritual tablet.

The old lady of the Mu family was still crying, scolding Xue Wanhua loudly, "He is ruthless and ungrateful, just now he was just pretending to be seen."

Throwing down the last stack of paper money in her hand, Gu Sixiao couldn't help but said: "Old lady, are you really so cruel? If my sister goes on, can she still keep the child in her stomach?!"

Seeing that the old lady of the Mu family was just crying and didn't answer her.Gu Sixiao couldn't help shaking her head, then turned to follow Xue Wanhua.

There were no outsiders in the carriage, but Xue Wanhua still didn't cry. Leaning on the carriage, she rubbed her stomach, eyes full of confusion.

"Sister, don't take the words of the old lady of the Mu family to heart."

"No, she's right, I'm sorry for Mu Feng..." Xue Wanhua whispered, and suddenly grabbed Gu Sixiao's hand emotionally.

"Hua'er, I'm sorry for Mu Feng! It was I who killed him. If it wasn't for me, he would never have become the son-in-law of the Xue family, and he wouldn't die now—it's all because I was too selfish, thinking only of myself, The Xue family will kill him!"

Looking at Xue Wanhua who lost control of his emotions, Gu Sixiao only felt his nose sore.

Holding her back, Gu Sixiao said in a deep voice: "Sister, the matter is not what you said - brother-in-law was not killed by you!"

The voice paused, and she said loudly again: "You didn't harm him, you saved him, the old lady of the Mu family. If the brother-in-law hadn't become the son-in-law of the Xue family, the old lady would have died of illness long ago. Maybe you get sick from working as a coolie, or even..."

There is no way to continue, she can only keep saying: "Brother-in-law is very happy when he is alive, he lives very well in Xue's family, he has never blamed you, never blamed you..."

"It's because he never blamed me that I blame myself even more."

Xue Wanhua smiled bitterly, shook her head and said, "Hua'er, you don't understand."

How can she not understand? !She knew more than Xue Wanhua thought.

But at this time, he couldn't say such a thing.

Gu Sixiao could only hold Xue Wanhua's hand tightly, as if this would give her the strength to endure.

Back at Xue's house, Xue Wanhua was extremely tired.Even these days, I have been offering anti-fetal drugs, but I still can't hold on.

After sleeping deeply for a day and a night, Xue Wanhua regained her spirits.

But she didn't rest, but rushed to Kaiyuan Temple immediately.

The Buddhist rituals of Kaiyuan Temple are done in sevens and sevens.Now it's just past the first seven.

Because Xue Wanhua had been presiding over the funeral, Li Chongyang was watching the funeral.

These days, Li Chongyang came up to the mountain to sit for a while every day to make sure that the monks did not slack off.

Others said that the Xue family's son-in-law and brother-in-law are deeply affectionate, but Gu Sixiao felt that it was because he felt guilty and wanted to ask for peace of mind.

"Hua'er, you don't have to accompany me - I'll go up the mountain alone! Go, I need your help to take care of things in the shop!"

With some hesitation, Gu Sixiao took Xue Wanhua's hand and said in a low voice: "Sister, let me stay with you!"

"No, I'm not a child."

"Li Chongyang is on the mountain..." Gu Sixiao couldn't help but continued.

Xue Wanhua just laughed, "I know - go!"

She doesn't want her to follow!

Gu Sixiao was in a trance, and vaguely understood something.

Could it be that Xue Wanhua chose today to unveil the plaque with Li Chongyang? !
Clenching her fists tightly, Gu Sixiao still wanted to speak, but Xue Wanhua's face darkened, "Hua'er, you won't listen to me?!"

"Listen, I'm leaving now..." Stared at by Xue Wanhua, Gu Sixiao couldn't go on talking, so he could only get in the car and go down the mountain.

Opening the curtain, she turned around and looked at Xue Wanhua standing on the mountain road, feeling a little blocked in her heart.

As the car turned off the road, it passed another car.

Vaguely, Gu Sixiao heard the sound of snorting in the car, it sounded as if someone's mouth was gagged and could only make a "woo-woo" sound.

Looking intently at the burly man driving the car, Gu Sixiao wanted to take a closer look, but the big man had already turned his head and looked over.

Panicked, Gu Sixiao hurriedly turned her head away.

But the heart is beating very fast.

This car was going up the mountain, perhaps, it was going to Guiyuan Temple.

Could it be that the murderer was the one who was gagged in the car? !

This is the helper Xue Wanhua found! ?

Is it true that Li Chongyang should be made to confess his crimes today, and he deserves what he deserves?
However, I didn't see the official messenger—could it be private? !

Thinking of this, Gu Sixiao felt her heart beating even harder.

"Boom," a thunderous thunder rolled across the sky.

Gu Sixiao raised her head, looked at the gloomy sky, and couldn't help whispering: "It's going to rain..."

The mountain rain is about to come, and the house is full of wind.

The ever-burning lamps in the hall were blown on and off, making the originally dark hall even more gloomy.

Kneeling in front of the Buddha, Xue Wanhua recited the "Rebirth Mantra" in a low voice: "Namo Amitabha Ye, Dotagadha Ye..."

Hearing the footsteps behind her, she didn't get up immediately, but continued to recite the "Mantra of Rebirth", and she opened her eyes until the last word was finished, and said in a low voice: "Brother-in-law, you are here—read it too!" Let's go to the "Rebirth Mantra"! You can get rid of the karma, and you will be reborn in bliss..."

Looking up at the benevolent and benevolent Buddha in the hall, Li Chongyang smiled lightly and said, "No need, I don't believe in Buddha."

"Don't believe in Buddhism? I heard that you asked the master to recite the "Diamond Sutra" for you before?" Xue Wanhua stood up, looked at Li Chongyang, and asked with a smile: "It's just, if you want to save the dead, why do you recite the "Diamond Sutra?" "Woolen cloth?"
