"Why don't you let us in? Call Mr. Du out quickly. We are serious relatives."
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li carried Yang Yu's sedan to the door. She originally thought that the Du family had a great business anyway, so she asked a few servants to carry her son into the mansion.
But he didn't expect that he would be stopped at the door by these contemptuous servants and refused to let in.
When Du Qinghe came out, he happened to hear the last words Li shouted.
When it comes to serious relatives, apart from his maternal ancestral family, they are naturally relatives of the Du family.
But Du Qinghe went through it in his mind several times, and he couldn't figure out who the middle-aged woman in front of him and the young man sitting on the soft sedan who seemed to have trouble walking were.
However, people who came to express their condolences had good intentions, and Du Qinghe suppressed his original anger.
"It's my servant Wu Zang. I wonder which family the lady is from?"
Mrs. Li has never met Du Baicheng, but Du Baicheng is definitely not as young as the man in front of her.
However, although this man is wearing mourning clothes, the material of the mourning clothes is definitely not made of ordinary white cloth. It seems that he should be a member of the Du family with some status.
"Who are you? The in-laws are here, but why don't you see Mr. Du coming out?"
Mrs. Li secretly evaluated the identity of the other party in her heart. However, as her own in-laws, Mrs. Du passed away, so it was natural that Mr. Du would come to receive her.
"relatives by marriage?"
Why doesn't he know his own father-in-law?
Not to mention that the second brother's father-in-law also has frequent contacts, so it is absolutely impossible not to know him.
Also, what do you mean by not seeing Mr. Du come out?
His father is lying in the coffin now. If he comes out, won't he scare away everyone in Du Mansion?
"Young master, this is Mrs. Yang, the mother-in-law of the third young lady."
Butler Du appeared at the critical moment, stood beside Du Qinghe, bent down and whispered.
Du Qinghe was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes sharpened.
A hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes. He didn't go looking for Du Yanran, a villain, but he didn't expect someone from her husband's family to bump into the door like this?
Du Qinghe carefully looked up and down at the middle-aged woman in front of him and Yang Yu on the soft sedan. Although they had changed into new clothes for visiting guests, the creases on the clothes were very obvious. They must be reluctant to wear them.
After being folded and kept in the closet for a long time, you can tell at a glance that the family is probably very poor.
Unexpectedly, Du Yanran searched around and found such a family.
No wonder mother wrote in her last letter, asking them not to go to Du Yanran yet.
He must have known that without his father, the Du family would no longer be able to support Du Yanran.
And with Du Yanran's temperament, can he really live a stable life in such a poor husband's family?
Also, the Yang family didn't know that their father was dead. Could it be that Du Yanran thought he only poisoned his aunt?
When Du Qinghe thought of this, his back molars itched with hatred, but now was not the time.
He looked at Mr. Li with a half-hearted smile, and then said sarcastically.
"It turns out to be Mrs. Yang. I have long admired your name. However, I am afraid that my father will not be able to receive the distinguished guests in person."
After saying that, he turned slightly to the side and saw two tablets placed in the center of the living room, one of which was engraved in gold with Du Baicheng's name.
"Oh……!?"
Mrs. Li was so frightened by this revelation that she fell to the ground and looked at the tablet in disbelief. How could Mr. Du die like this?
Yang Yu had been staring at Du Qinghe just now. Seeing how talented the other person was, and comparing the clothes he wore with the other person, there was a huge difference between heaven and earth, and he felt very sour in his heart.
I had learned from Du Yanran before that Du Yanran was the third eldest child. She had two brothers above her, who were the sons of her legitimate mother. However, the head of the Du family did not like these two sons very much. During the year, except for New Year's Eve, the two
The elder brother was basically away from home and would not return to Du Mansion. At that time, Du Yanran said that these two elder brothers were just two pitiful little ones.
But now it seems that even if they are not much loved by the head of the Du family, they have grown up in fine clothes and fine food. How can they be pitiful?
If I had gone to the Provincial Examination and not had my legs broken, if I were standing in front of Du Qinghe now, he would probably be envious of me, right?
Yang Yuzheng was thinking wildly in his heart, but he was unexpectedly brought back to his senses by his mother's scream.
He is unable to move now and relies on others to carry him in a soft sedan chair.
Now I saw my mother sitting down on the ground completely helpless as if she had been frightened by something, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of shame on her face.
Just now he was thinking about competing with the other party, but now his mother has embarrassed him.
"Mother, what are you doing...!?"
Yang Yu called the bearer to take a few steps forward and approached Mrs. Li. He looked unhappy and was about to ask her what was going on.
However, I casually glanced at the middle of the Du Mansion's living room, and suddenly there was something in my throat, and I was speechless on the spot.
Why is the memorial tablet of Du Baicheng, the head of the Du family, placed in the living room?
Is it possible that the person who died was not Mrs. Du but Du Baicheng?
This sudden change left Li and Yang Yu at a loss for a while.
It took Li a long time to realize that if Du Baicheng died, would that mean that Du Yanran would have no one to rely on in the future?
Thinking of the private houses that she had brought into Du Yanran's house before, just by selling the jewelry, it would be enough for the Yang family to use for several years.
Her heart was beating fiercely. She was still worried before, but now that Du Yanran's biggest backer is dead, what else does she have to worry about?
Li and Yang Yu came excitedly and left dejectedly.
"Brother, can't we just let them go like this?"
Du Qingzhong, the second young master of the Du family, stood behind Du Qinghe very angrily, staring at the mother and son going away with hatred in his eyes.
"How is that possible? The hatred of killing one's mother is irreconcilable. However, the mother's funeral arrangements must be settled first. As for the little swordsman, once the family affairs are settled, there will be time to take care of her."
I just hope that the little lady will stay in the Yang family until the day they come to settle the score with her.
Back at Yang's house, Yang Yu and Li went into the house and counted Du Yanran's things.
After counting, Li took a breath.
"Yu'er, with just these, our family can return to the old days. No, better days than before."
Li's eyes were shining. Unexpectedly, in addition to jewelry, Du Yanran also owned a grain store and hundreds of acres of fields. Although the banknote was only a few hundred taels, it was enough to sell the grocery store that he had sold before.
Bought it back.
Even if you can't buy back the grocery store, with the hundreds of acres of fields and grain store, you can still have a long-term income, and you can count the money while lying down.
