Chapter 73
After Li Ce came out from Chen Yaozuo, he hurried to Yu's house. Xian'er should have gone home by now. I don't know how she is now.
When he came to Yu Mansion, Li Ce was shocked again.Because there was a filial belt hanging on the gate of the Yu mansion, and even the lanterns turned white, it was a funeral in the mansion!

After entering the courtyard, five or six Song soldiers came forward to pay respects. Li Ce was taken aback for a moment and then remembered that the guards were sent to send Xian'er in the afternoon, but the guards hadn't returned to report yet.

"What's going on?" Li Ce asked with a frown.

"My lord, Yu Yuanwai has passed away." A guard said cautiously.

"Oh..." Li Ce sighed heavily. He had seen that Yu Chuanyi's time was approaching, but he didn't expect to make it through, alas!

The lobby of Yu Mansion was full of people, all of them were dressed in filial piety, a few old men sat at the table above, with sad looks on their faces.Beside her were Sun and her son Yu Baozhen. Sun was weeping and wiping her tears with a handkerchief, muttering something in a low voice.But Liu Shi and Xian'er could not be seen.

Li Ce stepped into the door, looked at the scene in the hall, and said, "Inside the mansion..."

"This is?" the old man in black sitting in the middle asked.

"Oh, I'm Xian'er's friend." Li Ce said casually. The three old men seemed to be in charge, and they seemed to be the elders of the Yu clan.

"Well, I have something to do at the mansion today, so come back another day. Come and see off." The black-clothed old man issued an order to evict the guest very bluntly.

"Then who are you? I came to find Xian'er, not you, and this is not your house. What kind of order did you issue to evict guests?" Li Ce was a little funny, and he was another guy who relied on his old man to sell him. The young master respects you That's all, you picked it up yourself?My prospective father-in-law passed away, can't I come to pay my respects?
"You, you young man, you are so rude!" The old man snorted heavily, and then waved his hands to send someone to drive Li Ce out of the house.

"Wait a minute, he's here to look for me." A crisp voice sounded, and Yu Xian'er, dressed in mourning, burst into tears.

It turned out that a servant recognized Li Ce, and when he saw him coming, he quickly slipped in and told Yu Xian'er.

"Don't pay attention to them, follow me to the back hall to talk." Yu Xian'er pulled Li Cechao and turned into the back hall without any scruples.

"This... this girl is too blind to elders!" The other two old men said angrily as they slapped the table.

"That's right, my family has already said that Xian'er is a wild girl!" Mrs. Sun hurriedly added fuel to the side.

"Hmph, it's getting worse and worse. Now that Chuanyi is gone, no one can control her? Our uncles are still here!" The old man in black leaned on his crutch hard and scolded loudly.

Sun dabbed her tears with a handkerchief, secretly peeking at a few old men who were angry, the corners of their mouths turned up uncontrollably, obviously a little smug.

Li Ce followed Yu Xian'er into the inner hall, and sure enough Yu Chuanyi had passed away. Sitting by the bed, Mrs. Liu couldn't help crying, her face was very haggard. She seemed to have aged a lot this day. Li Ce remembered the last time she went to It's the first time I've seen her so much gray hair.

"Auntie, I'm sorry, don't hurt yourself." Li Ce comforted softly.

"Ce'er is here." Liu's eyes were full of tears, and when she saw Li Ce, she forced a smile, but this smile was extremely sad.

Mrs. Liu was very grateful to Li Ce, because if Li Ce hadn't snatched Yu Xian'er back, Mrs. Liu would really not be able to survive after Yu Chuanyi left.

"Auntie, since uncle has passed away and it's already dark, why..." Li Ce wanted to say, why didn't he go into the coffin?Now people are still lying on the bed, covered with a layer of white hemp, isn't that scary?

"Hmph, the Ma family bullies people too much!" Yu Xian'er said angrily, her eyes red and swollen, her fists clenched.

"What's going on? Has the Ma family come back again?" Li Ce asked with a stare, so Ma Fucai is really not afraid of death?

"No, you don't know that there is only one coffin shop in Zhending Mansion. The owner's surname is Huang. He has always been friends with the Ma family. This time, he was instigated by the Ma family. I heard that our Yu family came to buy the coffin and refused to sell it to him. We, Daddy passed away all of a sudden, and now it's too late to find a carpenter to do it, so it's been delayed until now, I'm really anxious!" Xian'er stomped her feet, and her eyes turned red again when she said this.

What happened?It's really unreasonable!This shopkeeper Huang really has no virtue!They don't understand why the dead are the greatest.

"Auntie, don't worry Xian'er, I'll come as soon as I go." Li Ce put down a word, turned and left in a hurry.It was almost Xu time, and since there was no coffin and incense table, there was no delay in such a matter.

Li Ce went out of the inner hall, ignored the members of the Yu clan in the hall, and directly greeted a few family members: "Follow me to carry the coffin."

Several servants knew his tricks, and they all responded that they wanted to follow him.The servant who came back from Ma's house in the afternoon told them all about Li Ce's actions in Ma's house, and now they admire Li Ce very much.It's because everyone has a heart of attachment to the strong. These servants were beaten by the Ma family before, and Li Ce beat the Ma family and his son, which can be regarded as helping them out.

How could the old man in black let him, an outsider, intervene in the affairs of the family, he was about to reach out to stop him, but all the servants followed Li Ce without looking back.

"Bastard! Who is in charge of the Yu family!" The old man in black coughed violently because of his anger.

Mrs. Sun also looked at Li Ce's back with resentment on his face. It's really abominable that this wild boy from outside even bought the hearts of the slaves.

Shopkeeper Huang's coffin shop was about to close when a group of people rushed in.He raised his eyes and saw that it was the servants of the Yu family again, and his face was pulled away, a little disgusted.

"Why are you guys back again?" Shopkeeper Huang said angrily as he put down the feather duster in his hand.

"Are you Shopkeeper Huang?" Li Ce came in from behind and asked expressionlessly.

"I am, you... yo, it's Jun Ye." Seeing several armored Song soldiers following Li Ce, shopkeeper Huang quickly changed his posture, nodded and smiled.

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense with you, let's buy a coffin." Li Ce didn't bother with him, the Yu family was still waiting.

"Master Jun, may I ask where your family is...?" Shopkeeper Huang asked with a charming smile.

"Fart!" Li Ce opened his mouth and cursed, this shopkeeper Huang has no eyesight.

"It's for our master." A servant explained.

It turned out to be you guys, Shopkeeper Huang frowned, then put on a smile and said, "Master Jun, you don't know, this Ma family and..."

Shopkeeper Huang was interrupted before he could finish speaking.

"I'm talking about shopkeeper Huang, why don't you go into business by yourself and follow that Ma?" Li Ce reprimanded with staring eyes.

"This... this... Master Jun came for the Yu family?" Shopkeeper Huang asked tentatively.

"Go, take out the best coffin." Li Ce thought to himself, you, the boss, are so confused that you only realized it now.

"Mr. Jun, since you have come forward, the villain will not dare to be negligent. You see, these coffins here are all high-quality coffins." Shopkeeper Huang is not stupid, so there is no need to offend the military master in front of him for the sake of the Ma family. Well, they came here with soldiers. If they get annoyed, they may destroy their own shop. For business, it's better to make money with peace.

Li Ce followed his gaze and took a small look. To be honest, he really didn't have any research on this wood, and he couldn't see any good or bad.But when he saw the innermost part, his eyes suddenly lit up. The innermost part was a coffin made of nanmu wood, which was very eye-catching against the backdrop of other ordinary materials.

"Well, that's it." Li Ce pointed to the golden nanmu coffin and said.

"Oh, Mr. Jun, that one is not for sale. It was prepared for me by the little old man. Please change another pair, Mr. Huang." When the shopkeeper heard that Li Ce had actually chosen that one, he hurried forward to stop it.

Li Ce glanced at the other ones, but compared with this golden nanmu, it was really dwarfed. He looked at the yellow shopkeeper again. He was only in his 50s, and he seemed to be in good health, still early.

"That's all, take it away." Li Ce waved at the servants.

"Okay!" The servants hurried up, took the rope and wooden sticks and tied them up to carry them away.

"Oh, Mr. Jun, you can't do this. I have been laying this coffin for three years, and I repaint it every year. I just wait for the day when it is gone, so I will use it." Stop in front of these servants and prevent them from carrying the coffin away.

Li Ce didn't want to be such a bad guy, but he was annoyed that shopkeeper Huang didn't sell coffins to Yu's family earlier, which made Yu's father still lying on the bed. If he didn't bring his own troops here today, I'm afraid he would continue to make things difficult.

"Hmph, you said you kept it for yourself?" Li Ce's eyes turned cold.

"That's right." Shopkeeper Huang nodded quickly, thinking that Li Ce was about to change his mind.

"Then can you use it today?" Li Ce's face suddenly changed, and he took a step forward and asked in a cold voice.

"Ah... this..." Shopkeeper Huang was startled, unable to react.

"If you can use it today, I'll keep it for you. If you can't use it, I'll take it away first, and you make another pair yourself!" After Li Ce finished speaking, the Song soldiers behind him shook hands inadvertently. The saber at the waist.

Shopkeeper Huang's expression changed drastically when he heard the words, he hurriedly stepped aside, wiped his sweat and stammered: "No, it's not needed, Mr. Jun... just take it away." After speaking, he swallowed hard.

Li Ce smiled and strode out the door.

"The Yu family will send you money later."

Shopkeeper Huang looked at the back of Li Ce and others leaving, shook his head and sighed, alas, why didn't he close the door earlier.

While he was tidying up and closing the door, he couldn't help sighing. Suddenly he stopped his movements, and his body couldn't help shaking. He thought of a person.I heard that Ma Yuanwai was beaten today by a young general leading a group of Song soldiers. Just now...

Thinking of this, he hurriedly ran out to have a look. At this time, Li Ce and others were no longer visible. He patted his chest and said thankfully, "Fortunately, I didn't offend this evil star just now." What a coffin is, just make another one. Compared with the Ma family, I am much luckier.
