Chapter 555 Head 7
Seven days later, Yuan Yu’s funeral was held.
Although Yuan Qi wanted to keep a low profile, due to the Yuan family's status in the business world and Yuan Yu's own reputation, the street was still crowded with people who came to pay their respects and offer sacrifices.
Yuan Yu's coffin was kept for seven days, and after a funeral ceremony, it was cremated.
Zhou Chang sat in the post house with nothing to do during the day, but he couldn't go to see him off, which was really unbearable.
When Yuan Yu left, both she and Prince Yi Fengming felt like they had lost a loved one, even this loved one was the one they had exchanged their lives for.
At night, Zhou Chang couldn't bear it any longer, so he took Gao Yuan and Shou Hou and took a carriage to the Yuan family mansion quietly.
The carriage was parked in an inconspicuous place on the east side of the outer wall of the Yuan family mansion.
Zhou Chang lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked far away in the direction of the Yuan family's gate.
White lanterns had already been hung under the porch of the Yuan family mansion. Although it was already dark, the door was still wide open, and people coming in and out to pay their respects continued to flow.
No matter how low-key they were, the Yuan family still held a buffet and entertained guests who came to pay their respects day and night.
Zhou Chang imagined in his mind the scene of Yuan Qi and Yuan Jie kneeling in front of the coffin in mourning clothes. They wouldn't really go without food, water or sleep for seven days, right?
How could Yuan Qi’s body bear it?
Thinking of this, I thought of Wen Fei again.
Wen Qingyan would naturally come to attend the funeral openly.
and then?
There is nothing else happening. It has nothing to do with Prince Yi.
Zhou Chang looked around for a while but couldn't figure out what was going on. He sat back in the carriage, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and silently said a few words of farewell to Yuan Yu.
No matter what form it is, as long as you truly miss someone in your heart, that person is in your heart.
Zhou Chang pondered for a while, and after he had done his best, he decided to go back.
After Yuan Yu passed away, the kidnappers still had no clues, and Prince Yi no longer had any reason to stay in Beiji.
Zhou Chang was thinking when he suddenly heard the skinny monkey muttering outside: "Hey, why is this Mr. Wen here again? How many trips does he have to make in a day?"
Zhou Chang lifted the car curtain and looked towards the Yuan family's gate again, just in time to see a white figure flash into the gate.
"Did you see clearly that it was Wen Fei?" Zhou Chang asked the skinny monkey softly.
The skinny monkey leaned on the shaft of the carriage, pointing at a carriage that was parked in front of the gate and leaving: "Look, that's the carriage he took. It must be him. I can't be mistaken for the appearance of the top scholar. What's more, when I came here in the morning, I saw him wearing a plain suit. I just don't know what he is doing here at this time of night?"
Today is the seventh day since Yuan Yu’s death. Previously, Yuan Qi said that Prince Yi would not be allowed to come, but he did not say that he would not send anyone to come.
Zhou Chang was also worried, so he sent a skinny guy over this morning to keep an eye on the situation.
Somehow, Zhou Chang felt uncomfortable when he saw Wen Qingyan go in, and said angrily: "How many days will this vigil last?"
"It's just seven days, right? Logically, it should be the last day today, but the Yuan family has a lot of people coming and going, so maybe the buffet will be postponed to fourteen days, twenty-one days, or even forty-nine days." The skinny monkey probably felt sorry for not being able to have the buffet.
Zhou Chang kept muttering about the time, but in his mind he recalled the scene in which the Japanese man "solemnly vowed" to escort Yuan Qi and his sister back to Danlu.
Originally, Yuan Yu asked Prince Yi to take care of Yuan Qi before his death. But when it came to the actual execution, Zhou Chang was in a dilemma. In what position could Prince Yi take care of Yuan Qi?
Unless Yuan Qi's life is in real danger or his interests are seriously damaged, he is of no use at all.
But when I think about it this way, I can’t help but think of Wen Qingyan.
Wen Qingyan was not a newly married man either. He had not even been with his new wife for more than three days when he rushed to Beiji. Now he had to accompany Yuan Qi back to Danlu.
How did he do that?
How could he abandon his family and career, leave his newlywed wife alone for several months without any psychological burden?
At least on the surface, Zhou Chang didn't notice anything at all.
The moonlight is as beautiful as a flower, and the tranquility is spread in my heart.
"Monkey, let's go in and take a look..." Zhou Chang suddenly wanted to go in and take a look, but he couldn't say what specifically he wanted to see.
"Your Highness, this is not good." The reason why the skinny monkey came to take a look in the morning was because it was not convenient for Prince Yi to show up.
"There are not many people here now, and no one knows me." Once Zhou Chang made the decision, he did not intend to back down.
In order to mourn Yuan Yu, she has been wearing dark clothes these days, so it doesn't look out of place.
The skinny monkey stopped trying to dissuade him and followed him inside, leaving Gao Yuan to watch the carriage.
Zhou Chang stepped into the gate of the Yuan family. Although the servant guarding the door did not know Prince Yi, he believed that all the guests who came to the house these days were here to pay their respects, so there was no need to stop them or ask too many questions.
As soon as you enter the door, the servant responsible for entertaining guests will come forward to greet you and lead you inside.
Zhou Chang also followed him to the mourning hall.
When they entered, they did not see Yuan Qi and Yuan Jie guarding there, but only two young nephews kneeling below in mourning clothes.
First, I lit a stick of incense and offered sacrifices.
When I came out again, I couldn't help but look around.
Now that I'm here, I have to take a look at Yuan Qi to feel at ease.
Zhou Chang brought the skinny monkey and sent away the servant who was leading the guests, and then he walked towards the back.
Suddenly, a familiar voice greeted from behind: "Hey, Your Highness Prince Yi, why are you here at this time?"
Zhou Chang turned around and almost didn't recognize him: "Congratulations?"
He Xi appeared and bowed: "Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Yi. I never thought that I would meet His Royal Highness in Beiji."
"Ah, yes..." Zhou Chang didn't want to meet any other acquaintances at this time.
He Xi had a white mourning cloth tied around his waist, and he also knew that it was difficult for Prince Yi to reveal his identity, so he bowed and whispered: "Since Your Highness is here, why don't you sit in the side hall for a while, I will go and inform the young master."
"Okay..." Zhou Chang's mind brightened immediately, and he followed He Xi eastward, asking, "Why did you come to Beiji?"
He Xi answered while leading the way from the side: "Well, it's a long story. I calculated with my fingers that after the boss got into trouble, I sent the young master here. Who would have thought that the master... well..."
Zhou Chang did not ask any more questions. He saw that he was about to see Yuan Qi in the side hall, but he hesitated: "Where are your young lady and young master? Why don't you have to guard the mourning hall tonight?"
He Xi said, "They should have stayed up all night, but the young master is still young and can't bear it, so the young lady let him go to the inner courtyard to rest temporarily. As for the young lady..., she didn't eat, drink or sleep for days, and she had to entertain relatives and friends from all sides. She really couldn't hold on any longer, and she fainted after sending the spirit back..."
"What? She fainted?" Zhou Chang was shocked and hurried inside. "Then where is she now? I'll go see her."
