As for Lu Hengyuan, he was truly sick. After the nurse, Anya, had given him a Sophora Flavor Soup, he had become addicted to it. Unbeknownst to him, it contained a chronic poison.
When Lu Yiyao heard the news, he ordered his men to lock Anya up and force her to hand over the antidote.
The answer was …
There was no cure for this poison.
The lack of an explanation meant that Lu Hengyuan wouldn't be able to live much longer.
"Wake up!"
Priest, who was in charge of the burial, held a horsetail whisk with both hands and spoke with a loud and clear voice.
The person carrying the coffin shouted in unison and lifted the coffin.
"Father …"
Lu Yixun cried until her throat went completely mute.
"Father, you can't just leave like this …"
Lin Zhiyan cried quite truthfully, and her words were very clear to everyone who heard them.
A servant girl came over and pulled them apart.
The funeral procession majestically headed towards the back mountain of Cheng Garden.
Along the way, he left behind countless amounts of paper money.
Sobbing.
The wind and rain were swaying.
The whole house was in great grief.
"..."
Jingtai Villa.
The western courtyard.
The Six-Pointed Windstorm Pavilion.
Ye Rongwei, who was in his eighties, and Gu Mingcheng, who was in his seventies, were playing chess.
The two sides stared at each other for a long time, yet no victor was decided.
"Ming City, is today the day Jinhui is buried?"
Ye Rongwei suddenly shifted his gaze away from the chessboard and tilted his head to look outside the pavilion.
The light in the sky dimmed.
It was drizzling.
"Yes."
Gu Mingcheng's gaze tensed up and his expression became a lot more serious.
"Lordmaster, do you think he'll resent us for not sending him off?"
"Gifting or not, it's all the same. "I'm old, and I can't stand to see such a scene of separation …"
Ye Rongwei composed himself, and his healthy face darkened. After pausing for a moment, he continued.
"Jinhui has had a hard life. I hope he goes to another world and lives more comfortably. "
Gu Mingcheng placed the two chess pieces on the stone table.
"That's right. His entire life, he was tired …"
Ye Rongwei nodded, a trace of sadness on his black and white longevity eyebrows.
"For that kid Yiyao, he has to bear a lot of infamy. "Unfortunately, Yiyao doesn't know …"
Gu Mingcheng shook his head and said helplessly.
He still didn't know that Lu Yiyao already knew that Lu Jinhui was not his father.
"That's right …"
Ye Rongwei sighed. Just as they were about to say something else, a servant hurriedly walked over and spoke up with a lowered head.
"Lordmaster, an honored guest is here to visit."
"Esteemed guest?"
Ye Rongwei frowned his grey hair and revealed a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He had lived in this remote place for a long time, almost isolated from the rest of the world.
Usually, other than the two former subordinates, Lu Jinhui and Gu Mingcheng, very few people would come over.
However, he and Old Madam Ye were left in peace.
"I think he came from the capital?"
The servant was somewhat unsure of the other's identity, so he carefully replied.
"Capital?"
When Gu Mingcheng heard this, he glanced at Ye Rongwei.
"Lordmaster, could it be?"
"Let's go."
Ye Rongwei stood up.
Even though he was in his eighties, he was still tall and straight, and his steps were steady.
Gu Mingcheng followed behind him with the same domineering attitude.
They arrived at the West Courtyard's main hall.
Old Mistress Ye sat in the guest seat, accompanying them. Opposite of them, sat the two renowned Young Masters, Jun Family and Jun Family.
"Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master …"
Ye Rongwei was surprised to see them.
Gu Mingcheng was the same.
When Jun Linchuan and Jun Moshang saw them coming over, they stood up and said politely.
"Elder Ye …"
"Elder Gu …"
"Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, it's been a long time since I've come to visit an important guest, right? The two of you have truly brought glory to your humble dwelling. "
When Ye Rongwei sat down, Gu Mingcheng also sat down beside him.
"Elder Ye, actually, I wanted to come and pay you a visit since a long time ago, but as I have a lot of things to do, I've delayed it."
Jun Linchuan's handsome face was covered with a faint smile, and his voice was very mellow and elegant.
Jun Moshang didn't say anything and just sat quietly by the side.
"Old woman, Eldest Young Master is here. Hurry up and prepare some delicious food!"
Ye Rongwei smiled at Jun Linchuan and turned his head to look at Wang Yunxian.
"I'll go now."
Wang Yunxian responded and got ready to get up.
"There's no need to trouble the madame. After drinking this cup of tea, Second Brother and I will be leaving."
Jun Linchuan said warmly with a humble expression.
"It's that urgent?"
Wang Yunxian stood still and said politely.
"Since that's the case, prepare some snacks and come over."
Ye Rongwei did not bother with pleasantries.
"Alright."
Wang Yunxian replied and turned around to leave.
"Eldest Young Master, I'm afraid you didn't come just to see me, this old man, right?"
"Elder Ye is amazing. To be honest, we have come with a request. "
Seeing this, Jun Linchuan did not loiter around.
Jun Moshang didn't say a word and just drank his tea.
A servant came over and served tea.
"Go to the hall and guard the entrance. No one is allowed to enter."
Ye Rongwei instructed the servants.
"Yes." "Grand Elder."
"Elder Ye, am I?"
Gu Mingcheng said with a tense expression.
"You don't have to evade."
Ye Rongwei didn't ask for Jun Linchuan's opinion and directly replied.
"Yes."
In front of an outsider, the extremely dignified Gu Mingcheng, on the other hand, was incomparably respectful towards Ye Rongwei.
"Eldest Young Master, tell me?"
Ye Rongwei said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner as he looked benevolently at Jun Linchuan.
Even if the person in front of him was the future king of Z Nation, he wouldn't be afraid in the slightest.
"Elder Ye, Second Brother and I have come to the Yunjing. "One is to come to offer our condolences, and two is for 'N9'."
Jun Linchuan's eyebrows slightly sank, and his cool and elegant voice revealed a trace of worry.
When Gu Mingcheng heard this, the light in Cangjie's eyes immediately became tense, and the wrinkles at the corner of his eyes deepened.
Ye Rongwei raised his grey eyebrows. His eyes were cold.
"Eldest Young Master, I haven't been doing worldly affairs for a long time. I'm afraid I can't help you with the things that you've said."
Jun Linchuan didn't expect that he would refuse without the slightest hesitation.
Jun Moshang, who was holding a cup of tea, suddenly tightened his fingers and his eyes became sharp.
"Elder Ye, Father often whispers in front of Second Brother and I, saying that Ye Family is the most upright family in Z Country …"
"Eldest Young Master, I'm truly sorry. I really can't help you with this matter."
Ye Rongwei interrupted Jun Linchuan coldly.
Other than Jun Moyuan, he was probably the only person in the entire country of Z who dared to do so.
Many years ago, Ye Rongwei had saved Jun Linchuan's life.
"Elder Ye, you're too humble." Other than you, no one else can do such a thing. "
Jun Linchuan's expression was still warm without any anger. His tone was still as humble as before.
"Eldest Young Master, I'm already a person whose dirt is almost up to my nose, what else can I do?"
Ye Rongwei pushed it away again.
"Elder Ye, Lu Yiyao will only listen to you in Yunjing."
Jun Linchuan did not continue to beat around the bush and pointed out the right question.
"Yiyao?"
Ye Rongwei frowned and his expression darkened.
"Elder Ye, to him, 'N9' doesn't have any benefits."
Jun Linchuan said slowly.2
