Chapter 378: Wei Jin is also dead

Chapter 378 Wei Jin also died

"What's the panic? Didn't the Second Young Master go back to Huzhou Mansion? Why are you making such a fuss?" Yun asked.

"Second young master met a mountain bandit on his way...unfortunately...unfortunately died..." the boy panted and reported the news cautiously.

The faces of Yun and Wei Yichen changed greatly upon hearing this.

"What did you say? Is it the second young master? Dead?" Wei Yichen stepped forward, grabbed the servant's clothes, and asked.

"No... there is no mistake, it is the Second Young Master, and it was the guard Jing who sent the Second Young Master out who said it himself!"

"Where's the well guard?" Wei Yichen asked.

"He was injured and now in the front yard..."

Wei Yichen threw off the servant and walked quickly towards the front yard.

Mr. Yun also got up quickly, supported by Cuiping, and rushed to the front yard.

In the front yard, Jing Hu was kneeling on the ground, his hair and clothes were torn and messy.

Wei Yichen took a step forward: "Where's Jin Yi?"

Jinghu slowly turned behind him.

Behind him, there are two stretchers covered with white cloth.

Wei Yichen's movements slowed down, looking at the stretcher covered with white cloth, he didn't move for a while.

At this moment, Wei Ruo ran over.

The moment Wei Ruo saw the stretcher, Wei Ruo's face turned pale visibly.

Wei Ruo walked towards the stretcher. When there were still two steps left, Wei Yichen stopped her and stretched out his arms to prevent her from approaching.

"It may not be Jin Yi." Wei Yichen said to Wei Ruo.

"Let me see!" Wei Ruo said.

Wei Yichen looked at Wei Ruo's firm eyes: "I'll take a look first, don't worry."

Wei Ruo didn't listen to Wei Yichen, pushed Wei Yichen away, stepped forward, and lifted the white cloth covering the stretcher.

Under the white cloth was a dead body that was already icy. There were a lot of knife wounds on the body, and it had already rotted to a certain extent, and the original appearance could not be seen.

Only the tattered clothes were vaguely recognizable as Wei Jinyi's usual clothes.

The tragic condition of the corpse made everyone including Wei Yichen turn their heads involuntarily, and it even made Yun Shi who had just arrived almost fainted.

Wei Ruo didn't flinch, she looked at the corpse and carefully identified it.

"Ruoer don't look at it." Wei Yichen tried to pull Wei Ruo away.

Such a picture is too cruel.

Wei Ruo didn't obey Wei Yichen's eyes still stayed on the corpse, and asked Jing Hu at the same time: "Guard Jing, what happened?"

Jing Hu knelt on the ground and explained: "I sent the second young master to the north. After arriving at Huzhou Mansion, we were ambushed by bandits. Several of us resisted desperately, but the opponent had a large number of people and occupied a favorable position. In the end, the three of us were defeated. Both the young master and Xiao Bei died..."

Jing Hu blamed himself again: "This subordinate deserves to die, for failing to protect the second young master! This subordinate deserves to die! I should apologise, but this subordinate cannot let the second young master die in another country, so I will do my best to send the second young master's body back Taizhou Mansion. It was only because I had lost all my money, that I moved slowly with the bodies of the Second Young Master and Xiaobei alone, and walked for more than ten days before returning to Taizhou Mansion."

It was delayed for more than ten days, and the weather was relatively hot during the period, which caused the corpse to rot to a certain extent.

Wei Yichen frowned, his eyes were painful, and he clenched his fists tightly. After a long while, he ordered: "Go and inform father of this news."

Immediately afterwards, Wei Yichen asked someone to call back Wei Yilin who was still in the school, and then asked Xiumei to come over and support Wei Ruo: "Look at the eldest lady, don't let her get into trouble."

Xiumei nodded and stood beside Wei Ruo, holding Wei Ruo's tightly with one hand.

Xiumei looked at Wei Ruo, seeing that Wei Ruo's face turned pale, but her eyes still did not move away from the unrecognizable corpse.

"Miss, stop watching." Xiumei pulled Wei Ruo nervously.

"I'm fine, I've seen a lot of dead people, I'm not afraid." Wei Ruo said.

"Miss"

"I can take it."

Xiumei didn't know how to comfort Wei Ruo better, so she could only choose to accompany her quietly.

When she looked at the two corpses on the ground, Xiumei's heart ached.

The two people who were alive half a month ago have now turned into two lifeless corpses. She didn't even want to believe it was true, let alone miss...

About two hours later, Wei Mingting returned to Xiaowei's Mansion. He had just won a battle recently, and there was no urgent matter in the army, so he came back relatively quickly this time.

Looking at the two corpses in the front yard and Jing Hu kneeling on the ground, Wei Mingting frowned.

Wei Mingting asked Jing Hu what happened, and Jing Hu answered one by one, the content of the answers was the same as what he had just told Wei Yichen.

After listening to Jing Hu's explanation, Wei Mingting was silent for a long time.

After a while, Wei Mingting closed his eyes in pain, and ordered his servants to set up coffins and cemeteries.

"Father, won't the second brother's body be transported back to the capital?" Wei Yichen asked.

The ancestral grave of their Wei family is in the capital, and Taizhou is just a place where they stay temporarily.

"Nowadays there are many famines and the road is not safe. Instead of bumping back and forth, it is better to be buried here." Wei Mingting said.

"But father, the second brother is always a member of our Wei family. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to leave him here alone. If you are transferred to other places in a few years, the second brother will only stay here alone. There are not many people worshiping on Qingming Day of Death." Wei Yichen expressed his worries.

"If that's the case, let's discuss it after I'm transferred. It's a troubled time now, so it's better to run less."

Immediately afterwards, Wei Mingting sighed: "Call everyone in the mansion back, and give Jin Yi a beautiful funeral."

Wei Yichen was silent for a long time before slowly responding.

Then the school captain's mansion got busy. A mourning hall was arranged in the mansion, white cloth was covered everywhere, and white lanterns were hung up.

When the white clothes were delivered to Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo was stunned for a while, then slowly stretched out his hand and put the clothes in his hands.

"Miss, according to the rules here, only those who are younger than the second young master can burn paper money for the second young master, so you have to work hard tonight."

Nanny Zhang who brought the clothes said to Wei Ruo with distressed expression.

Who would have thought that the second young master would leave so suddenly? It's a great time, and there is not even a descendant who can be filial.

"I see." Wei Ruo nodded.

Then Wei Ruo went back to the room, changed his clothes and came out, and followed Nanny Zhang to the mourning hall.

There is a brazier next to the coffin at the back of the mourning hall, and three futons are placed in front of the brazier. Except for Wei Ruo's one, there are two other places that should be reserved for Wei Qingwan and Wei Yilin.

Although Wei Qingwan is being punished, but this kind of thing happened in the mansion, she also wants to come back.

After Wei Ruo knelt down, he began to put paper money into the brazier.

Not long after, Wei Qingwan came.

Like Wei Ruo, she also changed into a white linen dress.

Wei Qingwan knelt down beside Wei Ruo, and then said to Wei Ruo: "Sister, good and evil are rewarded, you have deliberately planned to drive me out of the house, and now the retribution has come, and the second brother who is best friends with you has an accident."
