Chapter 667 Death of Mei Family (2)

But if they don't pay it back, how can they afford it if Huo Yuan stands up for the Mu family and makes trouble for them?

While he was struggling, Xiaohong, the maid from Changchun Garden, came and knelt on the ground in a panic: "Old madam, Aunt Mei is dead!"

The old lady was shocked: "What?"

Everyone present opened their eyes in disbelief: "What did you say?"

Under the high-pressure gaze of the master of the room, Xiaohong shrank her neck timidly, and bravely repeated it again: "To answer the old lady's question, Aunt Mei...is dead..."

"how come?"

Mrs. Wang immediately covered her chest, as if she had been hit hard, and could hardly breathe. The three sons sitting down also looked panicked.

The Mei family died in their Duke Anguo's mansion. Now, even if they are willing to release Mu Zhongqing and return the Mu family's shop and farm to them, the feud between the two families has been truly settled. , or a feud that will never end!

"What's going on? Why is everything going so well only to be dead?"

Seeing the old lady's shocked look, the second wife, Mrs. Wang, hurriedly stood up to cheer her up and asked about the cause of Mrs. Mei's death.

Xiaohong sobbed and said: "After the Du family was kicked out of the house, the old aunt and grandma kept crying. No matter how we tried to persuade her, she would not listen. She suddenly collapsed and died while she was crying. Before Xiaoqing and I could Calling people, the old aunt died..."

Xiao Hong was very smart. She saw how concerned the masters in the house were about Mei's death, and immediately realized the consequences if the house knew the real cause of Mei's death, so she insisted that Mei died of an emergency. They didn't even have time to call someone.

In fact, there is a certain gap between the real cause of Mei's death and what Xiaohong said. In the morning, when the Du family was expelled from the house, Mei suffered from excessive grief and anger and suffered from heartache at that time, but the little girl who was responsible for guarding Changchun Garden Xiaohong and Xiaoqing both thought that Mrs. Mei was afraid that the old lady would settle the score with her, so she pretended to be ill. Therefore, no one paid attention to her. Xiaoqing also blamed her for pretending and kicked her several times in annoyance, then they all went about their own business.

After the two had lunch, they saw no movement in Mrs. Mei's room, so they went in and took a look. When they looked at it, they found that Mrs. Mei had been dead for a long time, and her body was hard...

Only then did the two girls panic and hurriedly came to the old lady to report the news.

"Quickly, go find some safe women to see if she is dead? Huamei, you go too!"

The old lady finally regained her composure. When she heard that Mrs. Mei had just died, she felt lucky and hurriedly asked someone to check.

Little Red Heart is like a mirror, then Aunt Mei's body is already hard, how can she not die? But she didn't dare to say anything at this moment. She just lowered her head and huddled there in fear, trying to reduce her sense of presence as much as possible.

It can be said that Aunt Mei's death was directly related to her and Xiao Qing, but they cannot be entirely blamed. Who asked the government to let her and Xiao Qing secretly take valuables and falsely accuse the family of theft? People, they thought the Mu family was doomed, so they treated Aunt Mei like that.

If the government hadn't done these things, wouldn't they still have to respect and support the old lady as before? How could he ignore her and let her die when she was sick?

Huamei came back quickly, and without waiting to speak, she knew the result just by looking at her face.

"How's it going? Doesn't it work?"

Mrs. Wang asked tremblingly.

Huamei leaned down and replied in a low voice: "Old madam, Aunt Mei is indeed dead."
