Chapter 1818: 1818 Third Brother’s Aunt 1 Inheriting the position of family head, there is also a difference in order. Now, within the living members of the Xiao Family, the eldest is the sixth, Xiao Chongjing, whose words still carry weight. It happens that the sixth in the Xiao Family seems to have seen too much of the struggles between several elder brothers and is, instead, not so keen on the position of family head. “Come, prepare the body.” Xiao Yuchuan instructed. Several guards entered the yard and began to handle the dead bodies inside the room. Xiao Chonghuai and Xiao Chongjing expressed their condolences to Yuchuan, “Condolences.” Then they left one after another. The bodies of the Xiao Chonghuan couple were naturally placed in a room for the time being, with specialists brought in for preparation, makeup applied, clothes changed, and then moved to the hall to set up a memorial hall. As for the bodies of the guards inside the room, Xiao Yuchuan ordered them to be given a lavish burial. Two servants pointed at the bodies of Changshou and Aunt Xing, and asked, “Young Master, how should we handle these two bodies?” With a complex gaze, Xiao Yuchuan looked at the bodies of Aunt Xing and Changshou, “Just by looking at them, one can tell they offended my Father and Mother. Initially, I intended to throw their bodies to the mass burial mound to feed the wolves. But they’re already dead, so let’s just be benevolent. Return the bodies to their family members. Also, notify the various relatives of the Xiao Family and the officials in the court that we will start the mourning for my father tomorrow.” Soon, all the skewed bodies inside the Xiao Mansion’s Study Room had been carried out. Xiao Yuchuan stood alone in the Study Room, his silhouette appearing a bit desolate. Having always hidden in the shadows, Su Qingyue approached him from behind, “Third brother, I’m sorry, I couldn’t save your Aunt and your Uncle.” “Wife, when Aunt Xing was brought in, weren’t you hiding in the shadows? You should’ve been able to save her…” “When Aunt Xing was being interrogated by the Xiao Chonghuan couple, I was originally hiding on the roof eavesdropping. Unexpectedly, Chang Haotian suddenly appeared. Fearing he might overhear the secret of your lineage, I confronted him, and it was in that moment that both Aunt Xing and Changshou died.” A hint of guilt flashed in Su Qingyue’s eyes. Xiao Yuchuan, feeling heartbroken, said, “Wife, this isn’t your fault. Chang Haotian’s sudden appearance indicates he’s been watching the Xiao Clan. Does Chang Haotian know about my lineage?” “He doesn’t. I discovered him just after he arrived.” “That’s good. As long as he doesn’t know I’m not Xiao Chonghuan’s biological son, he can’t threaten me with anything.” Xiao Chonghuan caressed Su Qingyue’s back, “Now, other than you and Ye’er, no one knows my true lineage. You would never betray me. Aunt Xing and Changshou… it’s better that they’re dead.” “But they were your true relatives…” “So what.” Xiao Yuchuan said indifferently, “In my eyes, there is only you and Ye’er.” Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽 Su Qingyue sighed, “Things have come to this, the dead cannot be revived, third brother, you should grieve.” “I am not saddened.” Xiao Yuchuan caressed her fine hair, “It was Aunt Xing herself who chose this path. Unexpectedly, it also implicated Changshou. Perhaps Aunt Xing already knew that Changshou, having been captured by the Xiao couple, wouldn’t survive. Perhaps she did it intentionally, Aunt Xing didn’t want anyone to know my true lineage.” “Mm.” She nodded, her small face buried in Xiao Yuchuan’s arms, wrapping her arms around his solid waist. Having suddenly lost two close relatives, the third brother must feel uncomfortable in his heart; she only wanted to be by his side. Why did the third brother suddenly have two more relatives? The matter had to begin a few days ago, with the appearance of Aunt Xing… That day, Su Qingyue sent the Maid Yinzhu to town to buy things, and Yinzhu returned saying that Aunt Xing, the dowry maid of Shen Yun who served at the Xiao Mansion, had something very important to discuss with her and the third brother.
