Chapter 528 Forced to die (4)
Although Geng Yuan also had tears in his eyes, he is a man after all, even if he is pretending; he has to carry it on at the moment, pretending to be stronger than Madam Geng; while patting Madam Geng's shoulder, he comforted in a low voice: "Madam, don't worry about it." No matter how sad; this child Yan Nuan has been filial since she was a child, if you are like this, she will not feel at ease when she leaves."

"Family and everything is prosperous. This child is good at embroidery. Now, although she is gone, our Geng Mansion and Dongfang Mansion are still in-laws, and we are still a family." Tears were forced back, and while he was mourning the framed embroidery, he expressed his attitude lightly.

Upon hearing this, Madam quickly exchanged a glance with Dongfang Xian, her slightly drooping eyes finally showed a trace of unconcealable relief at this moment.

The reason they did so many things today is to get rid of Geng Yuan and his wife's grudge against them. If they fall out with them because of Geng Yannuan's death, it will do no harm to Dongfang Mansion.

Finally, with Dongfang Xian's consent, Mrs. Geng took the half-finished embroidery away.

Three days later, according to the rules, after crying for the spirit and keeping the spirit, it is time to go in and go out for the funeral, and the funeral will be held on this day.

Geng Yuan and his wife rushed to see Geng Yannuan for the last time before being buried.

After leaving this door today, their relationship will be separated forever from now on, and they will never see each other again.

Thinking of this, Madam Geng naturally cried again to the point of death.

But at this moment, the mourning hall is full of relatives from the Dongfang Mansion, and there are no outsiders; Dongfang Yu is also dressed in plain clothes, standing aside with a sad face.

Seeing that Mrs. Geng was overly sad and almost fainted, she thought for a while, then walked lightly to Mrs. Geng, and comforted her in a low voice: "Mrs. Geng, please express your condolences. If the elder sister-in-law sees that you are so sad for her, she will definitely feel sorry for her." If she is uneasy, she will not feel at ease even if she leaves."

Upon hearing this, Madam Geng suppressed her tears a little bit, still sobbing, raised her teary eyes, nodded to Dongfang Yu, and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Second, I pity Yan Nuan..."

"Yes, we are also very sorry for my sister-in-law's accident." Dongfang Yu lamented in a low voice, and said quietly, "Maybe this is what people often say, God is jealous of beauty."

"When the wing room caught fire that day, everyone was fine; even the little sister-in-law, the fourth younger sister, and the servants who caught fire first, all of them were lucky to escape the catastrophe. No one thought that the big sister-in-law's wing room In the end, it caught fire, but instead she..."

Speaking of this in the Oriental language, tears welled up in those bright eyes, she wiped them slightly, and then sighed: "Hey, besides lamenting that the world is impermanent and God is jealous of beauty; I really don't know What to say."

"On that day, if the wing room where the eldest sister-in-law lived was not connected to the younger sister-in-law's, such a tragedy might not have happened; if she hadn't been stung by a scorpion when the fire broke out, and she couldn't rush out in time, this would not have caused today's regret , those scorpions, alas... In short, this accident was a trick of good fortune."

Geng Yuan and his wife listened to her words that seemed to be comforting, and gradually became suspicious in their hearts despite their grief.

They only knew that Geng Yannuan was seriously ill because of an accident; they also knew that Geng Yannuan had encountered a fire before, but they didn't know the details of the fire, let alone that Geng Yannuan had been stung by a poisonous scorpion.

The more Geng Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He immediately persuaded Mrs. Geng in a low voice, and then discussed in a low voice. The two suddenly showed anger again, and walked towards the other side who was directing everyone to prepare for the funeral. lady.

"Mrs. Dongfang." Madam Geng stood directly behind Madam with a pale face and called out coldly. No matter who else was present, she asked coldly, "Why do you keep hiding that Yan Nuan was stung by a poisonous scorpion before?" What happened? And her wing was the last to catch fire, but she became... On the contrary, it was someone else, if I remember correctly, that Young Mistress Ji is your niece, madam, right?"

"I'm very doubtful about Yan Nuan's accident, whether it was man-made or an accident. I would like to ask Mrs. Dongfang to give us an explanation for the Geng family."

"Otherwise." Mrs. Geng stared straight into Mrs. Ji's cold and treacherous eyes, and said in a very strong tone: "I think it is necessary to postpone the funeral until we find out the truth of the matter."

"In-laws." Madam's heart sank. Although her expression was a little astonished, her attitude was the usual low profile, self-blame, guilt, and sadness. She glanced at the sad-looking Dongfangyu on the other side, as if she had figured it out. What, "You must not be picked on by others. The time for today's funeral has been set. If the funeral is not held on time, I'm afraid it will affect Yan Nuan's rebirth after her death..."

Madam glanced at Dongfang Yu coldly, then suddenly raised her finger and said, "Madam Geng, she must have said something to you just now, right?"

"At first I didn't want to show my family's ugliness. I didn't say some things so bluntly in front of you. But now, I have to tell the truth." Madam sighed, the sadness between her eyebrows and eyes could not be suppressed, "Yan Nuan her It was true that she was stung by a poisonous scorpion, and the wing she was in was indeed the last to catch fire..."

"Miss Er must have hinted at you just now, saying that we hurt Yan Nuan on purpose, right?" Madam frowned, with shame and sadness on her face, "You don't know, she said that because she hated the words we served in the past. The purpose is to pick up the grave of her biological mother."

"If you are serious about pursuing it; Yan Nuan's accidental death this time, in the final analysis, has nothing to do with Second Miss."

Geng Yuan and his wife looked at each other silently, full of doubts in their hearts. At this moment, they finally realized that Geng Yannuan's death was not a simple accident.

"Mrs. Dongfang, we don't care about any disputes between you, we just want to know who caused the accident that Yan Nuan suffered." Geng Yuan said in a deep voice, his gaze carried the oppressive aura of a high-ranking official who has been in the officialdom for a long time, He coldly glanced at his wife's distressed face, and said: "How about this, now I invite you and the second lady to the inner hall to explain the details, and we will judge for ourselves what is right and what is wrong."

Letting her, the mistress of the house, confront a junior in front of outsiders, wouldn't that just hit her in the face!
When Mrs. Ji heard Geng Yuan's proposal, her cold face darkened immediately, and clusters of anger also showed slightly in her eyes.

"Family, these things, why don't we sit down and talk slowly after the funeral."

Geng Yuan stared at her coldly, but was not moved by her low profile sincerity, and still insisted: "Until the truth of the matter is known, Yan Nuan cannot be buried."

"If Mrs. Dongfang is worried about delaying the time, it's a big deal to find another suitable time to send Yan Nuan away." Geng Yuan stared at his wife for a moment, and became more and more suspicious of her urgent attitude. As a result, his attitude became more and more tough, "In short, we as parents can't let Yan Nuan be so ambiguous."
