The reborn daughter seeks marriage

Chapter 204
"Yes, Master!"

Zhenyuan Hou Mansion is the tranquility before the storm.

However, this tranquility was quickly broken by a scream. It turned out that the maid serving the old Hou Ye was about to deliver the meal, but she didn't expect to see the old Hou Ye sitting on the chair with her eyes closed, screaming several times. no response.The servant girl boldly stepped forward and shook him, but her hand was icy cold, she put her finger under the old Hou Ye's nose tremblingly, she couldn't breathe!
Stumbling out and running out, the girl ran like a maid, shouting uncontrollably.

"It's not good, Shizi, it's not good! Old Hou Ye is gone!"

This voice startled everyone in the house.The little servant girl quickly ran to Fengyuan, but she didn't even make a notification, she rushed in, out of breath, and said: "Shi... Shizi, old Houye...he's dead!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Mu Qifeng was talking with Chuwu about naming the baby in the future, when he heard the maid's words, the smile on his face froze immediately, and he stood up abruptly.

"Slaves...no nonsense... woo woo, Shizi, you... hurry up and have a look!"

The little maid began to cry miserably, the look on her face was obviously very frightened.Mu Qifeng's expression changed, and Chuwu also looked at him solemnly, and said, "Qifeng, I don't think she is lying, so hurry up and see grandpa! I'll be there soon!"

"Hurry up and invite Dr. Xu!"

Mu Qifeng nodded, gave instructions to the little girl, and immediately ran out quickly.Although he said he didn't believe what the servant girl said, his expression was tense, and his hands fell into the flesh without knowing it.When he saw the silent old man on the chair, his tall figure seemed to be struck by lightning, and he couldn't take a single step anymore.

No, it won't, Grandfather he just fell asleep, he must be all right!

There was a cry in his heart, and he wanted to speak, but he couldn't make a sound.Stretching out his hand tremblingly, he took the old man's hand, clasped it lightly with one hand, and put the other hand on his chest.

The blood vessels have stopped beating!The heart didn't respond at all!
Standing frozen in place, Mu Qifeng's body remained motionless, as if he had turned into a stone.At this moment, Dr. Xu, who was sweating profusely, also rushed over. Without saying a word, he immediately caught the pulse of the old Hou Ye, and put his ear to the old Hou Ye's chest. It was exactly the same move as Mu Qifeng.Opening the medicine box, he took out a silver needle and stuck it on the old Hou Ye. After a long time, Doctor Xu took a deep breath and spoke heavily.

"I'm sorry, old master, he's already...we're late..."

"No, it's impossible! You lied to me, Doctor Xu, you lied to me, right?" Mu Qifeng suddenly yelled out of control, but at this moment, his eyes were already full of tears, and his whole body was shaking. Trembling uncontrollably.

"Ah!" Sighing lowly, Dr. Xu shook his head, "My lord, my condolences have changed, and this old man is powerless."

Mu Qifeng half-kneeled on the ground, tremblingly holding the cold hand of old Hou Ye, forcing himself to swallow his tears back.Raising his head again, he got up, hugged the old Hou Ye, and put his body on the bed.His eyes fell on the old man's neck, and the expression on his face suddenly changed.

"Doctor Xu, come and see what this is?"

On the neck of the old Hou Ye, there were already some bruised strangle marks. Dr. Xu looked at the body of the old Hou Ye solemnly, and then slowly said: "My son, the old Hou Ye was strangled alive. Die! These strangle marks are evidence! There is no trace of mess in the room, it seems that the murderer is someone who is familiar with the old Hou Ye, so he was unprepared."

Speaking of this, Dr. Xu did not continue to speak. This matter is related to the secrets of the Hou Mansion, and it is not easy for him to participate.

"Judging from the body of the old Hou Ye, it should have happened an hour ago. My son, my condolences. If there is nothing wrong, my subordinates will resign."

"Go!"

Mu Qifeng opened his mouth dumbly, clenched his fists, and roared at the servants beside him: "Who did the old Hou see today? What are you people doing? Why don't you keep serving yourself?"

"Everyone who has entered the yard today, stand up for me! When and what they did, they all have to report to me!"

"Master, the old Hou Ye only saw him today, and we wanted to take care of him, but the old Hou Ye sent us away on purpose. We are slaves, how dare we disobey the old Hou Ye's order?" The servants spoke tremblingly, and only hoped that Shizi would not vent his anger on them.

The expression on Mu Qifeng's face changed, and he couldn't help shaking his head when he remembered what Dr. Xu said.No, it's impossible, his father wouldn't do such a thing, he didn't have the courage to resist his grandfather at all, so how could he commit murder?Moreover, he has no motive, this must not be true!Yes, it's all just speculation, isn't it?
Constantly persuading himself, Mu Qifeng's eyes fell on the old Hou Ye, and tears came out of his eyes again. Grandpa, the person who brought him up hard, the elder he respected and admired most in his life, in this way Leaving him without warning.The pain, sadness, sorrow and anger in his heart, the turbulent emotions, almost overwhelmed him.

Why are things the way they are?

He kept asking himself in his heart, but there was no answer, endless sadness and despair, he wanted to scream out loudly to vent the grief in his heart, but facing everyone, he could only endure it.He can't panic, he can't get confused, the cause of his grandfather's death, and who killed him, he must find out!
Even if he already had the answer in his heart, he was unwilling to believe this worst outcome.

Because the child in her arms did not dare to run, although Chu Wu was anxious, she still tried to speed up her pace.When she arrived at the old master's courtyard, what she saw was Mu Qifeng's face bursting into tears. The sad atmosphere in the room made Chuwu stagger suddenly, and almost couldn't stand up.Yu'er supported her, and said worriedly: "Miss, are you okay!"

Shaking her head, Chu Wu felt that it was difficult to breathe, and she walked in front of Mu Qifeng with difficulty, she slowly stretched out her hand and hugged him.Mu Qifeng's body trembled slightly, and then calmed down, but Chu Wu could still feel the depression and trembling from his body.His eyes fell on the old Hou Ye who was not breathing with his eyes closed tightly on the bed. Chu Wu covered his mouth and couldn't help crying anymore.

How did that happen?That old man who was serious but respectable, the old master who loved her so much, was still in high spirits when he saw him in the morning.How come, in just one afternoon, everything changed.It's like a nightmare, so sad and frightening it's unbelievable.

The sound of her weeping was depressing and distressing. Before long, there was a burst of soft sobbing all around.However, no one cares whether it is against the rules or not, and whether it will anger the son of the world.In such a sad atmosphere, he also has deep feelings for the old master, these servants who have served him for a long time.

Mu Qifeng couldn't control herself anymore, she turned around and hugged Chuwu in her arms. The force was so strong, but even though it hurt so much, she didn't complain at all.She knew the despair and pain in his heart. To Mu Qifeng, Old Hou Ye was a special existence.It was the old man who raised him personally and taught him how to live and grow.In Mu Qifeng's heart, the status of the old Hou Ye is even more important than her.How much pain must it be in his heart for a loved one to leave suddenly like this?
Silently comforting him, Chu Wu herself burst into tears.At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, accompanied by the woman's terrified and trembling shouts.

"Father, he's fine, right? These little hoofs, you don't want to die. How dare you curse Daddy to death? I can't spare her, I can't spare her!"

"Mother, don't worry, my daughter doesn't believe it, my grandfather is in such good health, how could something happen to him!"

The people who came in were Mrs. Mu and Mu Qiyue, but none of the servants stepped forward or opened their mouths to answer their words.The atmosphere in the air was dull and depressing, almost suffocating.

When Madam Mu saw Mu Qifeng, she immediately walked in front of him, and said expectantly: "Feng'er, tell mother, your grandfather is fine, right? He just fell asleep and rested, right?"
