When Wen Xin arrived at the funeral home in Chen Yian’s car, she didn’t immediately get out. Instead, she sat quietly in the car, gazing out the window. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke slowly.
“Director Chen, could you arrange for someone to go to Clear Spring Town and find the patriarch of the Su family? Tell them you’re acting on behalf of Madam Yang Jingyan and inquire about the Su family’s requirements for allowing Madam Yang Jingyan and Su Baoyuan to be buried together.”
“Sure, I’ll do it right away.” Although Chen Yian didn’t know about the Su family’s situation, he was committed to carrying out Wen Xin’s instructions.
“Thank you for your help.”
Wen Xin’s thoughts were scattered at the moment. Just now, she had seen Tan Xingyue crying so hard she nearly fainted. It made her realize that her grandmother had truly left this world permanently. There would never be another kind elderly person waiting for them, caring for them.
Being embraced by Mu Chengxi, Wen Xin watched as Chen Yian drove away. She lowered her eyes, lost in thought.
Mu Chengxi helped Wen Xin adjust her black down jacket and shielded her from the northwest wind blowing in. He gently pinched Wen Xin’s cheek with concern.
“Are you too tired? It’s my fault. I was too much yesterday!”
Wen Xin’s voice was still hoarse at this moment. Every time she spoke, it reminded Mu Chengxi of his excessive behaviour.
“No, I was thinking that dealing with the Su family might not be easy. The Su family is an ancient and conservative clan. When Grandfather abandoned the family’s engagement and chose to be with Grandmother, he was expelled from the family.”
“I thought that would allow them to live peacefully, but later, Grandmother mentioned that many things happened in between. Uncle and Aunt were taken away by the Su family, and even when Grandfather passed away, Grandmother didn’t get to see him being buried.”
Mu Chengxi couldn’t bear to see Wen Xin worrying about such matters. He lightly squeezed her shoulder.
“I’ll handle this matter.”
“No, the Su family’s situation is quite complicated. You, as a prince of the capital, may have some influence in the city, but it’s better to leave this matter to me in Clear Spring Town.”
Wen Xin reached out and held Mu Chengxi’s large hand. At the moment, she truly had no solution and didn’t know what to do.
“Don’t chat here. Go check on Tan Xingyue. Her condition isn’t good right now.
She just cried herself into a faint.”
Chu Yunxuan hurriedly ran out of the funeral home. She couldn’t comfort Tan Xingyue anymore. Tan Xingyue cried until she fainted and then woke up to cry again. This was too much for her body to endure.
Upon hearing Chu Yunxuan’s words, Wen Xin let go of Mu Chengxi’s hand and followed Chu Yunxuan quickly. She had thought that Tan Xingyue would be able to tough it out after crying, but she didn’t expect her personality to be so rigid that she actually fainted from crying.
Watching Wen Xin and Chu Yunxuan leave, Mu Chengxi took out his phone from his pocket and dialled Ling Yichen’s number.
It was already late at night. Ling Yichen glanced at the time and was quite surprised to receive a call from Mu Chengxi at this hour.
“Master Xi, is there something you need from me?”
“I heard your uncle has been involved in the demolition of the old city area in C City recently? Is Clear Spring Town also within the scope of reconstruction?”
When Mu Chengxi suddenly showed concern for his uncle’s demolition work, Ling Yichen was slightly stunned and couldn’t quite understand what was going on to make him start caring about these matters.
“I’m not sure. I can ask for you, Master Xi. Is this matter urgent?”
“It’s quite urgent. Ask your uncle about the situation with the Su family in Clear Spring Town, and let me know as soon as you have any news.”
When Mu Chengxi heard Wen Xin mention Clear Spring Town, the first thing that came to mind was Ling Yichen’s uncle. If he remembered correctly, Ling Yichen’s uncle should be in charge of that area.
“Alright, I’ll call my uncle now and find out the situation. I’ll get back to you with the information.
With that, Ling Yichen hung up the phone. He looked up and saw Nan Xu getting dressed, holding a suitcase in her hand.
“Where are you going?” Nan Xu had just finished taking care of Old Master Ling’s surgery recently and had been staying at Ling Yichen’s home. Now, she suddenly wanted to leave, which surprised Ling Yichen.
“Something happened to Wen Xin. Her grandmother passed away, and Tan Xingyue isn’t doing well. I just checked the flights, and there’s one to Luo City tomorrow morning around four o’clock. I’m planning to go to the airport to wait.”
As she explained, Nan Xu continued to dress. She received a call from Chu Yunxuan and was preparing to go over.
“Wait for me to make a call, and then I’ll take you to the airport. It won’t take long, and we’ll have enough time.” Ling Yichen was very concerned about Nan Xu going out alone so late at night.
“Okay.”
After Nan Xu agreed, Ling Yichen took out his phone and went to the balcony to call his uncle and ask about the situation in Clear Spring Town. He didn’t understand why Mu Chengxi would think of his uncle.
The call was quickly connected, and when Ling Yichen mentioned Clear Spring Town, his uncle sighed helplessly. He said the Su family in Clear Spring Town adamantly refused to relocate, claiming that the place held their traditions and ancestral heritage, and they wouldn’t agree to leave their auspicious land.
This headache made Ling Yichen’s uncle consider using force to resolve the issue.
Upon hearing this, Ling Yichen told his uncle that there was no need to rush, as Mu Chengxi was preparing to intervene.
Upon hearing that Mu Chengxi wanted to intervene, Ling Yichen’s uncle sighed even more helplessly. He feared that things would only get more complicated if that young master got involved.
“Alright, ask that young master what he wants to do. Tell him that the Su family is very stubborn, and it’s not easy to resolve this.”
Ling Yichen relayed his uncle’s words to Mu Chengxi. After obtaining Ling Yichen’s uncle’s number, Mu Chengxi hung up without further ado.
Late at night, after settling Tan Xingyue to sleep, Wen Xin sat in the mourning hall with Yang Jingyan’s portrait.
Mu Chengxi was worried that Wen Xin couldn’t endure staying up any longer and wanted to persuade her to rest. However, when he saw Wen Xin staring blankly at Yang Jingyan’s photo, his words got stuck in his throat.
After settling Tan Xingyue, Chu Yunxuan came out and walked to Wen Xin’s side, gently squeezing her shoulder.
“Things are almost settled. All the relatives and friends who need to be informed have been notified. I don’t know how Su Li found out about the passing of an old madam. She’s insisting on seeing old madam off for the last time..”
