After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

If Shen Jinyao had the key to the house, she would have thrown it on the table casually at this moment.

Shen Jinyao's first mission was to lead the Shen family to the place of exile safely and smoothly.

There are many rules in wealthy families, and Shen Jinyao is afraid that she will be exposed in the future.

What's more, because of the house building, she has offended the first and third wives.

Even her own father and mother may not understand and support her.

She just wanted to earn enough money to survive safely in this chaotic world.

Shen Jinyao didn't know at this moment that she was like a hedgehog, cold and ruthless.

When the eldest lady saw Shen Jinyao's expression, she was actually a little scared.

She stammered, "I...I only talked about the division of the family, I didn't say who would be the manager."

The master still held Shen Maoshan and insisted on getting an explanation.

Shen Jinyao sighed and said, "You guys go ahead and talk. I'm going to go see my grandmother."

As soon as Shen Jinyao said she was leaving, Shen Tingyao and Shen Leyao wanted to follow.

"Who asked you three to leave? Why are you all so disrespectful?"

"you……"

"Oh no, oh no, something's wrong, Miss."

There was a shrill sound outside the door.

The voice was trembling and had changed its pitch. It was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, nor could it be told who was so panicked.

The dogs in the village started barking, and even a few houses turned on their lights.

I don’t know whose family had a big event.

Shen Jinyao scolded in a deep voice: "Who is it? What happened?"

The door was pushed open and the sound was getting closer.

I don't know why, but the lobby was eerily quiet.

Shen Jinyao's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken, and she felt that something bad had happened.

"Master, Madam, Miss..."

The sound was getting closer and everyone went to the door.

Shen Jinyao first recognized Qiu Ju, who was pale and had run away with messy hair.

When she saw Shen Jinyao, she accidentally fell to the ground.

Shen Jinyao helped Qiuju up and asked, "Qiuju, what happened?"

Qiu Ju raised her head and burst into tears. She hugged Shen Jinyao's arm and shouted, "Miss, the old lady is gone."

"what?"

"Mother!"

"Ah, Grandmother!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, not knowing who reacted first.

Shen Jinyao didn't know who pushed her, and only then did she realize what had happened.

Does Qiuju mean that grandma has passed away?

Shen Jinyao had never truly experienced the death of a loved one, and she always thought that her grandmother had survived every time, and she could survive this time as well.

She thought Qiuju would say that her grandmother was not feeling well and never thought that she had already passed away.

It was so unexpected and sudden.

Not only Shen Jinyao felt it was sudden, but everyone in the Shen family couldn't believe it was true.

Even though Doctor Gao had said many times that the old lady was terminally ill and might die soon.

But every time they felt there was still hope, especially since now they were living in the yard, it was easier for the old lady to take care of her health.

Who would have thought that such bad news would come.

The old lady's yard was full of people, and those standing in the house were all members of the Shen family.

Standing in the yard were Meng Da and others.

There were also quite a few people gathered outside the gate.

Although the house has been built, the villagers of Wuhe Village felt that after spending a month with the Shen family, the Shen family at least gave them all the money they deserved.

Therefore, although everyone’s relationship with the Shen family cannot be said to be very good, they do not want to drive the Shen family away as they did at the beginning.

They gathered outside, and some of them had just fallen asleep and got up again when they heard the noise.

Almost all those who came over were nearby neighbors.

"What happened to the Shen family?"

"The old lady must be dying."

"Well, it's okay. At least I didn't die outside. I finally have a home."

"Now tomorrow's banquet will become a funeral."

"You're amazing. You're still thinking about your food."

"Hey, that's great."

……

In the old lady's room, everyone was crying inconsolably.

Shen Jinyao didn't realize it until she saw the old lady lying on the bed with her eyes closed. She held the old lady's hand and felt that it was a little cold.

"Miss, please don't shed tears on the old lady."

After all, the Shen family's housekeeper Sun is an experienced old man. He also managed the funeral of the old marquis of the Shen family.

Of course I know this.

There is a custom in Shangjing City that when someone dies, tears cannot fall on the deceased.

Shen Jinyao didn't know these customs, but she still obediently held back her tears.

The eldest and third masters had collapsed on the bed crying.

"Mother, why did you leave just like that?"

"Mother, who will give me justice from now on?"

The second master asked Doctor Gao with trembling hands, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Doctor Gao, did the old lady say anything in the end?"

"The old lady is gone, and none of them are around. Only Doctor Gao and the servants are with her."

Doctor Gao was also a little sad.

During this period of time, I found that the old lady is an open-minded person.

In fact, he knew that the old lady's health was failing since he met her.

But for the Shen family, she has been persisting.

"The old lady only said one sentence."

When Doctor Gao said this, everyone in the Shen family stopped and looked at Doctor Gao.

All I heard was Doctor Gao say, "The old lady said that we must divide the family."

After saying this, the master stared with red eyes, his face full of disbelief.

"Is it true? Mother really said that?"

Doctor Gao didn't say anything. He was too lazy to pay attention to the master who was just making trouble.

Steward Sun bent down and said, "Master, Doctor Gao is right. The old lady said just this last sentence before she left."

In fact, the old lady said a few more words, but she could only speak to the eldest lady alone.

The eldest master's eyes were full of disbelief, and the eldest lady was even more unconvinced.

Seeing that they were about to argue further, Butler Sun stopped them in time.

"Miss, now is not the time to be sad. We must quickly prepare for the funeral."

There was a reason why Butler Sun skipped the masters and ladies from all parties. One of the reasons was that Shen Jinyao was still the head of the family.

Another reason...

The eldest master and the first mistress were still arguing about the division of the family property, while the second master and the second mistress had begun to cry and were dazed.

The third master and the third mistress have never managed the household. They probably don’t even know how many people there are in the family or what each person can do.

Shen Jinyao also knew that she had to take up the responsibility now. Everyone in the Shen family was immersed in a sad atmosphere.

At this time, there must be a sober person to take charge of these matters.

She glanced at the old lady with nostalgia, then followed Butler Sun into the yard.

Set up a tent, prepare mourning clothes, and inform the villagers about the death.

After going through the whole process, it was already evening when Shen Jinyao finally had time to rest.

The next day, before the funeral, Xiang Hongxuan came to the Shen family to pay his respects.
