Hua Zhi pretended not to see or hear anything, raised her head and looked at the high door lintel of the Song family, with a mocking arc on her lips, "Is he going to hang himself here? I wonder if the people of the Song family plan to reopen the door."
"Miss." The maids were a little nervous and wanted to surround the young lady so that no one could see her.
"No problem." Hua Zhi didn't care at all. If she didn't want to make such a big fuss, she could choose to come on the fifth or sixth day of the funeral. By then, there wouldn't be many people coming to pay their respects, so it wouldn't attract onlookers.
But she chose to come today. She wanted the whole city to know that Hua Jing had been expelled from the Hua family and that Hua Jing's descendants would no longer have any relationship with the Hua family. She wanted to completely break off relations with the Song family in front of so many people!
"Let's go."
Hua Zhi was about to take a step when she heard someone calling her from behind, "Miss."
The voice sounded familiar. Hua Zhi turned around and saw it was Shen Qi. Standing next to Shen Qi was Old Madam Shen.
Hua Zhi greeted her from a distance, and Old Madam Shen supported her with her hand.
Shen Qi regretted the moment he shouted that out in impulse. They were engaged, and he shouldn't have called out to her in such public. If he wasn't careful, it would lead to gossip.
So, he helped his grandmother come over.
Old Madam Shen sighed in her heart, but she really didn't have any ill feelings towards the girl from the Hua family. She even had a little admiration for her. For an unmarried girl, she did a really good job.
"You look thinner. You should take good care of yourself even though you are in mourning."
"Yes, thank you for your concern." Hua Zhi bowed again, "I wish you good health."
"Good, good boy."
This was the first time Shen Qi had seen Hua Zhi since the incident at the Hua family. It was also the first time he saw Hua Zhi no longer hiding her incompetence. She just stood there, looking calm, as if she was fearless.
Such a Hua Zhi almost belonged to him, but she would never belong to him again.
Hua Zhi suddenly looked at him, and their eyes met without warning. Her expression was so calm and firm that it made him look even more unbearable. Shen Qi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. Would he never see that girl who would tease her brother and snatch food from the maid's hand again
"If you encounter any difficulties, please send someone to let me know and I will do my best."
Hua Zhi bowed but did not respond. She couldn't do it, and Shen Qi also knew that she couldn't do it.
"Please go first, old lady." Hua Zhi stepped aside and asked old lady Shen to go first. Although her eyebrows were lowered, her demeanor was not damaged in the slightest.
Old Madam Shen sighed, patted her grandson's hand and walked towards the Song family. Some people, once missed, are missed forever. Even if the Shen family is willing to turn back now, there is probably no chance. What's more, it is impossible for the Shen family to turn back.
The onlookers looked at Shen Qi with a somewhat subtle look in their eyes. They were pushing such a beautiful woman away. Tsk!
The eldest daughter of the Hua family is also very generous.
More eyes fell on Hua Zhi. Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. They also wanted to see if Hua Zhi was really a beauty.
Nanny Su stepped forward to support Hua Zhi, "Miss, it's time to go."
Hua Zhi raised her head and glanced at the Hua family's door lintel again. She straightened her back, with her slightly long cloak dragging on the ground, and walked towards the Song family under the sight of everyone.
When she reached the door, Hua Zhi stopped and looked up, looking for the place where Hua Jing could have hanged herself. Just when others thought she was going to pay her respects here, she walked straight in. Only the people of the Song family realized that the place she passed by was the place where Hua Jing hanged herself.
“…” Everyone looked at each other, feeling that the eldest daughter of the Hua family seemed a little different from what they thought. Wait!
The eldest daughter of the Hua family is now the head of the Hua family. Years ago, the second wife of the Hua family was bullied by the Yang family, but the eldest daughter directly sent servants to get the person back. Could it be that the eldest daughter is taking revenge on the eldest aunt of the Hua family again
Thinking that there would be something exciting to watch, everyone quickened their pace. This kind of excitement could not be missed.
The people who sang the greetings were experienced, and their greetings did not seem abrupt amid the sound of the scriptures. The mourners also burned incense and bowed solemnly, until another voice rang out, "The Hua family, the eldest daughter is here!"
Song Chenghao, who was receiving guests at the door, was the first to see Hua Zhi. He was already delighted to see her coming, and when he saw her in such a state today, he couldn't take his eyes away for a moment. He quickly stepped forward and stared at her without blinking, saying, "Cousin, you're here."
Most of the guests in the house were women, but there were also many young men who came with their wives or family elders. When they heard that it was the eldest daughter of the Hua family, they remembered the rumors in the capital. They would never miss this opportunity to finally see her true face. What was hateful was that Song Chenghao was standing face to face with Hua Zhi, blocking her face tightly.
Fortunately, Hua Zhi moved quickly. She avoided Song Chenghao and continued to walk inside. Her face was revealed, allowing everyone to see it clearly.
Is she a plain girl or a fairy? Now we have the answer. She is so cold and frosty, isn't she a fairy
Song Chenghao was stunned and hurriedly followed.
When they arrived in front of the coffin, the servant handed over the lit incense, but Hua Zhi did not extend her hand. Yingchun reacted immediately and stepped forward to take it. Just when everyone thought she was going to hand it to her master, she picked up the incense and bowed down.
The Song family members immediately changed their expressions. Song Zhengzu, who was dressed neatly as if he was going to be a groom, suppressed his anger and said, "Why did the Hua family bully our Song family like this?"
After Yingchun bowed three times, she put in the incense and retreated behind the young lady with her eyes lowered.
Hua Zhi then looked at the uncle she had called for many years and said calmly, "Hua Jing is said to have hanged herself."
Song Zhengzu's eyes flashed, "I didn't expect her to make such a decision. No one in the Song family treats her badly. Even the Hua family should know that Hua Jing is a crab in the Song family."
"Master Song means that Hua Jing is tired of living a life of contentment and happily went to hang the white silk?"
It's interesting. Some people nearby were trying to hold back their laughter because of Hua Zhi's words. More people noticed the way Hua Zhi addressed him. She was not calling him uncle, but Master Song.
Does this mean you don’t consider the Song family as your relatives
Song Zhengzu was not a person with a good temper. He was so angry that he was about to explode. Song Chenghao quickly stood in front of his father and said to Hua Zhi with a sad face, "We are also sad that our mother passed away..."
"I can't see that you are sad. You, your father, and everyone in the Song family, I can't see that they are sad at all. What is there to be sad about? Anyway, the Hua family has collapsed, right?"
Hua Zhi raised her chin slightly, completely tearing off her disguise, "You said that the Hua family used to raise crabs for the Song family. Why? Because Hua Jing had the Hua family behind her. When Hua Jing married into the Song family, Old Master Song was only a fifth-rank official. You didn't dare to stop her because of the Hua family. You raised such a crab that walks sideways, and in the end, it's no longer worth it. If she doesn't die, who will die?"
Hua Zhi sneered, "A person who is said to be so sick that he can't get out of bed can hang a white silk on the long beam of the gate of a third-rank official residence. That's quite a skill."
