Chapter 246 Surprise (1)
That night, Yin Heshu went out for a trip. Early the next morning, Jin Tianming, the previous head of the Jin family, died unexpectedly. Rumors that Jin Xinxu, the recently deceased head of the Jin family, had been sick for many years and had hidden secrets spread like wildfire. Jin was in mourning.
The family immediately smashed the frying pan.
"Old madam, I have sent people to investigate. We should know who did it soon..."
When Xin Gu heard the news early in the morning, she broke into a cold sweat.
After hearing the news, the old lady who was about to go to the mourning hall fell down on her chair. At this moment, she didn't care about the wrinkles on her clothes.
"No matter who did it in advance, let's think about how to deal with the people in each room for a while. I guess it will be over soon..."
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, the servants outside sent word that all the elders from each room had arrived, as well as several men from the second room.
"Old Madam..." Xin Gu looked at the old Madam anxiously.
The old lady raised her hand, adjusted her expression and sat upright, saying, "Everyone, please come in!"
It was a big funeral for the Jin family. Everyone was wearing mourning clothes. When they came in, everyone looked serious.
"Old madam! You've heard about it, right? What's going on? Is there really a reason for the family master's frailty during his lifetime?"
The first person to ask questions was the old man from the main room. He was trembling on crutches, and the old man from the main room was supporting him.
"I just listened. I, the mother-in-law, want to know what's going on. Over the years, I, the mother-in-law, have watched him suffer so much, and now it's the white-haired man who sends the black-haired man. Brother, I have already
I sent someone to find out who made this news. If it is true, I will definitely find this person to avenge my son. I am afraid... I am afraid that someone will make a fuss about my son while her body is still cold.
There is chaos in the family."
The old lady's eyes were red with pain and tears were streaming down her face, and her face had lost its former look. Coupled with the fact that she was dressed in white mourning, it was quite moving to see her.
"Investigation, this matter must be found out. If someone really dares to harm two generations of our Jin family, no matter who it is, they will use all the strength of the Jin family to avenge this. If someone wants to take advantage of it out of thin air,
If trouble occurs, we will not disturb you lightly. In short, we must make this matter clear!"
The eldest man of the Jin family was so excited that he started spitting.
"That's right, this matter needs to be investigated at all! It's really too much of a lie."
"Old Madam, whether it is true or false, the so-called false rumors, regardless of who spread the word, we should investigate. Although the family owner knows that he is frail, he does not suffer from any disease. How come the more treatment he gets, the worse he gets?
As for passing away at such a young age, now that I think about it, it is indeed a bit strange..."
Everyone started talking to each other one by one.
Jin Xinpeng and other brothers were all in a daze. They didn't know whether it was true or not. If the eldest brother was really killed, I felt chills all over thinking about it. He and their eldest brother had not stopped taking medicine for so many years. After so many years of torture, this thought was so great.
The method was too cruel and terrible.
Jin Xincheng stood in the crowd, quietly listening to everyone's words and secretly observing the old lady's reaction.
I vaguely guessed in my heart that these words might have something to do with Chuxue.
Thinking of this, her heart beat faster. She was really brave. This was Jinghe. How could she be so bold? She dared to say such baseless words without evidence.
"Brother, elders of the Jin family, you don't need to tell me about this matter. I will get to the bottom of it. It's just that the head of the family has... left. We can't stop handling his funeral because of this matter. We still have to handle it smoothly.
The scenery is glorious, let him have a good journey, I am a woman, there are many things ahead, and I have to take care of them. After a while, guests will come to pay homage one after another... I want to investigate this matter secretly, and other things
Let’s discuss everything after the funeral. The deceased is the most important!”
Even if everyone wants to say something, they can only give up temporarily.
That's right. Now that the head of the family is dead, the most important thing is to take care of the funeral affairs. There will be a lot of things going on inside and outside these days, and there will be a lot of guests coming and going.
After the old lady said something, these people left separately. The old lady called the second room masters to stay.
"You just listened. They are eager for something to happen to our second room. What do you think about this?"
The old lady sat upright, holding the handkerchief in her hand and asked softly.
"Old madam, I'm afraid this is nonsense. Just like what the old madam said, someone is trying to cause trouble while eldest brother is gone. Over the years, eldest brother has seen so many doctors. It's just one or two. Is it possible for every doctor?
Are there any problems? Are all of them bad at medical skills? If my eldest brother is really harmed, one of these doctors must be able to tell it."
Jin Xinpeng only felt that it was impossible. It was just his father's business. His eldest brother had been weak since he was a child. As we all know, someone had been trying to harm him for so many years. Would it take decades? If he is so capable, why not just do it?
Poison?
In fact, that's what most of those people just thought. Who would spend decades trying to harm someone?
Only Jin Xincheng didn't think so, because he knew that if his eldest brother was really harmed by someone, there was a most likely possibility in front of him. Others harm others because they want them to die early, but some people don't necessarily want to kill others.
...In these years, the old lady has been standing behind her eldest brother to perform her duties as the head of the family. It is not surprising that she can harm her own daughter and her own son.
The more he thought about it, the lower Jin Xincheng's head lowered, fearing that he could not control his emotions and others would see it.
"Just after your eldest brother left, someone wanted to use your eldest brother to cause trouble. We have been in the second house for too long. Now the position of the head of the family is vacant. I know how many people are staring at you. None of you are my biological children, but we
We are all from the second house. You should all understand the principle of both prosperity and loss. I won’t go into details. Your eldest brother’s funeral will depend on our second house. Your eldest brother suffered a lot during his lifetime. You have to let him go.
You have to be more flattering, second brother. Your eldest brother can deliver the key to the Eight Treasures Pagoda to you, which can be regarded as leaving a way out for our second brother. It can be seen that he was particularly fond of you, the second brother, during his lifetime. You should pay more attention to his funeral.
, you may be the backbone of the second room in the future."
The old lady's words put Jin Xincheng in an embarrassing situation and made him the target of public criticism.
"Second brother, the old lady has said so. You are responsible for arranging the eldest brother's funeral. If the eldest brother trusts the second brother, the second brother will definitely handle it well."
When Jin Xinpeng put on his big hat, he felt a bit angry and had a sour smell.
Everyone knew that the old lady intended to promote him as the new head of the family, but at this time, the eldest brother gave him the key to the Eight Treasures Pagoda. Wasn't this because she wanted to compete with him?
You obviously have such thoughts, but you can pretend it better than anyone else.
"That's it, second brother, you are responsible for organizing your eldest brother's funeral. You two should cooperate and make sure it is a success. As for those rumors, I will have people investigate them. Whether they are true or false, they will always be clear.
Go ahead."
Jin Xincheng nodded silently and ordered. Since the old lady asked him to do it, he would do it!
The old lady looked miserable and waved her hand to let everyone go out.
Just as Jin Xincheng and others turned around, they heard someone coming to report that the old man, the old gentleman and others were coming to pay homage.
Chapter completed!
