Chapter 148 Funeral
He praised Song Anning for doing the right thing, and took out a prescription he had recently developed to share with Song Anning for discussion.
The brother and sister were having a lively chat when Song Helan walked in angrily with a dark face.
Song Anning was a little surprised.
"Brother? What's wrong with you?"
When Song Helan saw her, he hesitated to speak.
Song Xingzhi said: "Who provoked you? Your face is so stinky?"
Song Helan sighed helplessly and threw a small white flower tied with paper on the stone table in front of the two of them.
"Who else could have offended me? You can see for yourselves."
The two of them turned around and saw that the small white flower was the hairpin that people used to put on their heads during funerals nowadays.
His face changed suddenly.
"Bah, bah, bah! Brother, what's the matter with you? You picked up this kind of thing and came back and cursed us? My little sister just got sick, can you be careful?"
Song Xingzhi said, brushing the white paper flower to the ground.
Although he is a doctor and does not care about life and death, he is not willing to see such things for no reason.
Of course Song Helan knew it too. He glanced at Song Anning, his eyes filled with distress.
"This flower was picked up from outside the Jiang Mansion. They are holding a funeral for my little sister."
"what?"
Song Xingzhi was shocked.
Song Anning was also a little surprised.
But after all, she knew the Jiang family, so she reacted quickly.
The corners of his lips curved into a smile that was not a smile.
"What do you mean, brother, they announced my death to the outside world?"
"Ah."
Song Xingzhi finally understood why Song Helan's face looked so bad.
If he knew that a blind person had organized a funeral for his little sister when she was still alive and well, and cursed his little sister to death, his face would only be uglier than Song Helan's.
Song Xingzhi laughed angrily.
"It's really good. After all, my little sister is also the wife of his famous matchmaker Jiang Hua. If something happened to her, the Jiang family won't send people out to look for her. They haven't seen the body yet, but they are in a hurry to hold a funeral. What I know is that Jiang Hua is eager to find a new wife, but what I don’t know is that he, the Jiang family, thinks that they value their little sister and are saddened by her death."
Song Helan sneered.
"Isn't this what they want? They didn't treat my little sister well before, but now they hold the funeral for the whole city to know. Isn't it just to let the world think that the Jiang family values their little sister very much, so as to win a loving and gentle person? A good reputation for kindness? Ha, it’s simply shameless!”
Song Anning felt a little warm in her heart when she saw her eldest and second brother were filled with indignation for her.
She said warmly: "There is no need to be so angry. Since they have brought the opportunity to us, if we don't take advantage of it, wouldn't it be a waste of their efforts?"
Both of their eyes lit up and they looked at Song Anning.
"My little sister means..."
Song Anning stood up and shook out her clothes.
"I've been secretly recuperating here for so long, and it's time to go back and meet my good husband and mother-in-law. Haha... I just don't know if they will be surprised to see me return as a corpse."
Jiang family.
The funeral was indeed a grand one.
Not only relatives and friends of the Jiang family, but also colleagues in Jiang Rongsheng's officialdom and wealthy merchants in the city who were close to the Jiang family were invited.
Not to mention those who want to curry favor with Jiang Rongsheng and seek benefits from the Jiang family.
As a result, the entire entrance to the house was surrounded by carriages, and there was an endless stream of guests coming and going.
Jiang Hua stood at the door to greet guests.
Although he is the son of Marquis Anyuan and has a distinguished status, he is also the husband of Song Anning, so it is normal for him to stand here to welcome guests.
Everyone who came to express condolences would say to him regretfully, "My condolences."
Jiang Hua also returned the gift with red eyes.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten that Mr. Jiang had just faked his death and entered Beijing not long ago. He had no deep affection for his wife. Instead, he deceived her at every turn and became the biggest joke in the entire Jizhou City.
They forgot, and the Chiang family naturally regarded the matter as non-existent.
Everyone was "immersed" in an atmosphere of "sadness", and the melancholy music spread thousands of miles away.
on the carriage.
Song Anning wore Mu Li and watched everything that happened in the Jiang Mansion.
The guests came and went, the sad expressions on the faces of the Jiang family, and the people around them pointing with regret, all of this formed a joke, which made her feel extremely ironic.
Song Anning lowered the car curtain and ordered Dongqing beside her: "You go in through the back door."
"Yes."
A group of people got off the carriage.
Song Anning entered through the main entrance with the invitation.
The servant standing at the door saw her, but did not recognize her. After all, Song Anning wore a muli, and in this era, it was normal for some families with strict rules to let women wear a muli when going out, so it was also No one thought anything was wrong.
Song Anning took the invitation from the Zhongqiu family in the city.
The Qiu family had a son who was on a business trip for the local embroidery department, so he naturally followed Pei Qingyan's orders.
Song Anning went in alone, blending in among the guests and not attracting any attention.
It didn't take long for all the guests to arrive.
The Jiang family first asked everyone to express their condolences one by one, and then Jiang Hua knelt there and began to mourn.
Crying is nothing more than regrets, heartache and so on.
Song Anning felt like laughing.
That's all, still regretful?
She's not dead yet. Jiang Hua didn't spend all his energy on finding her. Instead, he held a funeral for her in such a hurry and grandly. Is this worthy of being called a pity?
Song Anning shook her head.
At this moment, a "bang" sound suddenly came from the door.
Since the mourning hall is located in the front yard, the sound coming from the gate is very clear and loud.
Song Anning turned around and looked, and sure enough, she saw her eldest brother and second brother striding in surrounded by a group of people.
"Where's Jiang Hua? Come out!"
Everyone was surprised.
The gatekeepers were brought in by their own people and could not stop him. When they saw Song Xingzhi and Song Helan attacking Jiang Hua, their faces turned pale with fright.
"You two, you two really can't go in. Today is the funeral of the young lady in the house. If you two come to watch the ceremony..."
"Go away!"
Song Helan pushed the man out.
The man fell to the ground, and the people nearby did not dare to stop him. A group of people just watched helplessly as they walked up to Jiang Hua.
Jiang Hua did not expect that Song Xingzhi and Song Helan would appear in Jizhou.
They did not notify the Song family about the funeral for Song Anning.
It’s not that I don’t want to inform, it’s that I don’t dare.
They were afraid that the Song family would see some clues and attack them at the funeral, which would not look good.
Once Song Anning has been buried, no matter how much trouble they make afterwards, it will be of no use.
After all, Song Anning was already a member of the Jiang family, and they were not the ones who killed Song Anning. The Song family couldn't blame them even if they wanted to.
But he didn't expect that Song Xingzhi and Song Helan would suddenly run over.
