Be Gentle, My Master
Chapter 2186
Mu Xuri turned around, looking at Mu Xiaojiu with a somber gaze.
Jiu took responsibility for the matter, so he couldn’t question Nangong Xu about anything.
He looked at Wen Yu and said, “Jiu is here to see you, take a look.”
Mu Xiaojiu walked to the bedside, lowering his head to look at her.
The aura around him was icy, cold enough to bring down the temperature in the room completely.
“How did she actually die?”
These words were directed at Mu Xuri, but they seemed like he was questioning Nangong Xu.
“On the surface, it appears she died of a heart condition.”
“Is examining the surface all you can do? Can’t you take her back and investigate thoroughly?”
Mu Xiaojiu was furious; he had guessed the cause but was unable to say it out loud.
Mu Xuri’s eyes narrowed, he looked up at him, his voice deep.
“What more is there to investigate? Her heart was already in bad condition. If it was another reason, how could she pass away so peacefully?”
“Since she has passed, don’t disturb her, let her not rest in peace.”
Seeing Mu Xiaojiu still clenching his fists tightly, he added, “Do you actually suspect someone harmed her?”
“The servants saw her return to her room fine last night, and since then, no one has come in contact with her.”
He swept his gaze around the room’s occupants, his whole demeanor having restored.
“Now, get down to the hall and discuss how to arrange her post-mortem matters.”
“Tian, find some people to help clean her up.”
With that, he let Ning Anran push him out of the room.
Mu Xiaojiu still stood in place, unmoved.
His tightly clenched fists showed bulging veins, and the skin on the back of his hands turned pale from the pressure.
Baili Xia walked up to him to comfort him, “Uncle, now is not the time to vent. Go down and see what he says first.”
Mu Xiaojiu turned to look at her, gently exhaled, and then went downstairs together.
As soon as they arrived downstairs, Mu Dongyu and Mu Haoguo also came over.
As soon as he entered, Mu Haoguo asked, “What happened? How did Wen Yu suddenly meet an accident?”
Everyone’s faces were heavy, and no one was willing to answer him.
Mu Dongyu’s gaze fell on Mu Lingchuan, and he asked in a deep voice, “Lingchuan, what’s the matter?”
Mu Lingchuan replied, “Mrs. Wen was just found dead in her room, as for the reason…”
He glanced at Mu Xuri and continued, “They say it was due to a heart condition.”
As he said this, he wasn’t sure at all.
Seeing Uncle’s demeanor, Mu Lingchuan began to suspect Wen Yu’s death wasn’t so simple.
“Alas, so young, how could she have this illness?”
Mu Dongyu sighed and added, “In a few days, it’s Lingchuan’s wedding, and now this happened, what are we going to do?”
Everyone looked at Mu Xuri. Having someone die at home during this time, holding a wedding seemed inappropriate.
Mu Xuri coughed twice and said in a deep voice, “Lingchuan’s wedding, we’ve already notified high society. It’s already impossible to change the date.”
He was right; Mu Lingchuan’s wedding had already spread throughout Jin City.
Even friends from distant places had been invited.
Moreover, Mu Xuri had his own plans, and the time absolutely could not be changed.
Mu Lingchuan said loudly, “With Mrs. Wen gone, how can we still feel like getting married? Why not postpone it for a month.”
“No.” Mu Xuri immediately refused, “The time absolutely cannot be changed, changing it now, isn’t it letting others mock our Mu family?”
