Chapter 1829: 1829 Someone comes to comfort you 2 Xiao Yuchuan had anticipated that Xiao Kang would investigate the cause of the death of the Xiao Chonghuan couple, and had arranged for the maid to perform such a scene in advance. He said sorrowfully, “Uncle Eight, regarding this matter, Uncle Six and Uncle Nine, I have privately sent people to inform them. Originally, I didn’t want to reveal the true reason behind my parents’ quarrel that led to their death, but since you insist on causing such a fuss, and if I don’t disclose it, you’ll keep pestering. Now it’s out; the scandal of my mother giving sterility drug to my father cannot be concealed.” “Nephew Yuchuan is telling the truth,” said Xiao Chonghuai, “Sixth Brother and I personally saw Fifth Sister-in-law kill Fifth Brother. Also, Aunt Xing and that man were indeed Fifth Sister-in-law’s confidants. Brother Eight, I know you want to seize the clan leader position of the Xiao Family, but Fifth Brother has descendants. Even if you took it, would the other brothers and the other branches of the Xiao Clan agree? Nephew Yuchuan is the rightful heir.” “Indeed.” A relative of the mourning family said, “Prime Minister Xiao, you don’t know, the Master of the Xiao Family passed yesterday but his eyes couldn’t close. It was young Master Chuan who allowed him to rest, and only then did his eyes close. It shows that flesh and blood kin cannot be replaced.” In essence, it was meant to deter Xiao Kang from trying to seize the family estate. “Vice Chancellor, at the memorial hall, respect for the deceased is paramount. If you intend to offer incense, do so; if not, then leave quickly…” A few other guests paying their respects chimed in, causing Xiao Kang, in anger, to storm off without offering incense. “The fifth Miss Gongsun arrives!” With the gatekeeper’s loud shout, Gongsun Qianru entered the lobby, assisted by Maid Xiahe. Qianru’s steps were unsteady, and her delicate dress was somber in tone, her eyes swollen as if she’d been crying. The attendees immediately directed their gaze towards her; after all, she was the second most beautiful woman in the land, naturally warranting a few extra glances. Gongsun Qianru previously had a marriage agreement with Xiao Yuchuan, truly adding drama to misfortune. Xiao Yuchuan raised an eyebrow, “What is the fifth Miss Gongsun here for?” Qianru’s tears preceded her words, “Brother Chuan, I am…” “Silence!” Xiao Yuchuan said coldly, “Who permitted you to address me as Brother Chuan?” “I…” She bit her lower lip, “young Master Xiao, I’ve come to offer incense for Uncle and Auntie. Auntie was very fond of me during her lifetime; she always hoped I could be her daughter-in-law…” “Then go down and find her,” Xiao Yuchuan said coolly, “My mother did not have a good relationship with my father, she might be bored down there; you can accompany her to ease her boredom.” “…” Qianru’s face flushed with anger, turning red and white; she never expected Xiao Yuchuan to say such things, suggesting she seek out a dead person; wasn’t that telling her to die? How could that be possible! “Oh…That shameless woman still wants to marry young Master Xiao…” remarked a female guest, “fifth Miss Gongsun, you previously had a marriage agreement with young Master Xiao, so what? You’ve already remarried Ning Bolan from the third young Master of the Ning Family, and separated from the Ning Family. A faded flower and wilted willow like you, how could you be good enough for young Master Xiao.” Gongsun Qianru was furious enough to slap that mocking woman, but she was no longer the favored legitimate daughter of the Gongsun Family. Times had changed, and she couldn’t provoke anyone, especially those attending the Xiao Family memorial, who were men of status, and the women undoubtedly their family members. Thus, she could only say aggrievedly, “I simply wish to be a concubine to young Master Xiao…” “You’re also not fit to be a concubine.” Said another female guest, “Some time ago, didn’t young Master Xiao declare publicly that he would never lay eyes on you in a lifetime. How thick is your skin? If I were you, I would be hiding in my room and never come out.” Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⚫𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖⚫𝕟𝕖𝕥
