At the Wang family's side, as soon as Qu Yuanxun arrived there, he saw Wang Fugui and everyone in the yard rushing out.

"You, the people in the county government, are using your power to prevent me from buying things for my father's funeral? Do you think you are being unreasonable?

If you don't let us out, let the county magistrate come to see me. I want to argue with him in person.

The emperor ruled the world with filial piety. Now that my father is gone, who dares not let me fulfill my last act of filial piety? "

Qu Yuanxun shook his head and stood outside the Wang family's gate, exhausted both physically and mentally.

"I am here, who dares to be presumptuous?"

Qu Yuanxun's voice was not loud, but it was very penetrating. This angry voice made everyone shut up.

The yamen runner outside the Wang family's gate made way for Qu Yuanxun and walked up to Wang Fugui with a cold face.

"Sir Qu, my father has unfortunately passed away. As the father of the people, you should be considerate of us and let my father rest in peace as soon as possible."

Qu Yuanxun did not answer Wang Fugui, but took a few people to the Wang Mansion to check on Old Master Wang.

He was accompanied by a coroner, who examined Old Master Wang's body. There were no obvious external injuries, suggesting he died of excessive indulgence.

But the coroner also said that if an autopsy was performed, the cause of death might be determined more intuitively.

But Wang Fugui put the dead first and refused to let anyone touch Old Master Wang's body.

In the end, Qu Yuanxun only asked the housekeeper and the people from the county government to go out to buy things, and asked the people from the Wang family to handle the funeral of Old Master Wang.

After Qu Yuanxun left, Wang Fugui overturned all the teapots and cups on the table. The Wang family was already in such a state, but Qu Yuanxun still kept him under house arrest.

"What a bastard official! He only uses his power to place people under house arrest."

These words scared Wang Juan.

"Husband, you can't say that. After all, Lord Qu is the county magistrate. Our family can't afford to offend him."

The house was a mess today. Wang Fugui took out his anger and turned around to find that his sister Wang Youyue was missing.

He gritted his teeth, stood up straight, and asked Wang Juan in a panic, "Oh no, have you seen Wang Youyue?"

Since the death of Master Wang Lai, Wang Fugui seems to have never seen Wang Youyue, and Master Wang said that he would leave a portion of the family property to her. Could she have secretly transferred the property?

The entire Wang family's property can only belong to Wang Fugui. Even his own sister cannot take away a penny.

"Now that my father-in-law is gone, Youyue is probably hiding and crying."

Wang Juan never thought about all these twists and turns. She was tired of living.

Wang Fugui is really disappointed with his wife. Why is she so stupid?

"You take care of my father's funeral. I'll go find Wang Youyue."

Before leaving, he also pulled Si Daiyun with him. This scene surprised everyone in the palace.

Isn't this maidservant the maidservant of Old Master Wang? How could she be with Wang Fugui?

This family is really a mess.

"Master, please don't worry. I know where the eldest lady is. She is looking for the suicide note left by the old man."

Si Daiyun doesn't have much time left, she must complete the plan ahead of schedule in the shortest possible time.

When Wang Fugui heard that Wang Youyue was looking for a suicide note, he became even more anxious, but he had to coax Si Daiyun patiently.

"Daiyun, stop making trouble. Take me to find my sister. I will buy you whatever you want in the future."

Si Daiyun smiled coldly, but Wang Fugui didn't notice anything unusual.

"Okay, I'll take you there."

Si Daiyun took Wang Fugui to Old Master Wang's room. As soon as the two came in, Si Daiyun took a look at the room inside.

Then she closed the door, put her arms around Wang Fugui's neck, and looked ambiguous.

"Master, tell me, if your sister knew that we were the ones who poisoned your father and that we were secretly together, would she go crazy?"

Wang Fugui hugged the person in his arms and kissed him, frowning.

"She won't know. If she does, I'll shut her up forever."

Si Daiyun's eyes were filled with sneers in his heart: "Unfortunately, she already knows."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of books falling was heard from the room inside. Wang Fugui had a cold expression and walked towards the location of the sound.

The person inside wanted to run, but Si Daiyun quickly blocked her way and pulled the mask off her face.

"So it's the eldest lady. Why are you in the old man's room? What are you holding in your hand?"

Wang Fugui also chased over here and saw that the person in front of Si Daiyun was his sister Wang Youyue.

Seeing that she was caught, Wang Youyue protected the things in her arms with both hands. The box contained the inheritance her father left for her to survive.

She also wanted to hide the suicide note and ask the authorities to stamp it later. Otherwise, given her brother's personality, he would not leave it to her.

But she didn't expect that her father died unexpectedly, and before she could get these things out, she was caught by Wang Fugui.

"Wang Youyue, is that a suicide note in your hand? Did that old man give you my property?"

Wang Fugui ran over and raised his hand to snatch the small box from Wang Youyue's hand.

"Wang Fugui, how could you do this? You secretly had an affair with my father's woman and even poisoned him. How could you do such a thing? That's our father."

Wang Youyue never expected that Wang Fugui was such a person who killed his own father in order to control the Wang family as soon as possible.

"Wang Youyue, you know too much."

Wang Fugui wanted to keep this matter to himself. Now the only people who knew about it were him and Si Daiyun.

And Si Daiyun is just a chess piece of his. If she didn't know how to use medicine and was a money-loving woman, she would be easy to control.

Otherwise, you are not worthy of fighting alongside him.

In the face of interests, Wang Fugui has long lost his affection for his sister.

Wang Youyue couldn't help but tremble as she watched her brother, whose fists were clenched and eyes were bloodshot, getting closer and closer to her.

"Brother, wake up! I'm your biological sister! The only relative you have in the world."

When danger comes, people always feel it instinctively.

The feeling that Wang Fugui gave Wang Youyue was murderous.

"Sister? Then don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame your husband for dying early. If you want to blame someone, blame you for coming back to your parents' home. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself. You should never, ever, steal my property."

After saying that, Wang Fugui snatched the box from her hand and opened it. Inside was a written suicide note with a small farm, two hills, an orchard, and three shops.

These things are enough for a family of seven or eight to live a comfortable life, and are worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver.

These alone account for one-third of the Wang family's assets. How can this be possible with so much?

Seeing this, Wang Fugui was so angry that he tore the suicide note into pieces.
