Madam Has An Amazing Life After Her Divorce Novel - Chapter 480

480 Trouble at the Mourning Hall

After Aunt Lu’s brother was punished for causing trouble, her family immediately felt aggrieved. Aunt Lu’s old mother slid to the ground and cried. “My daughter married into your Lu family and was hardworking and thrifty. She has worked hard for your Lu family her entire life, but why did she take it too hard and want to commit suicide in the end?”

At this moment, Old Madam Lu walked in sympathetically. She walked up to her in-laws and said, “In-law, get up quickly. Your daughter’s death is something none of us want to see. It’s my fault. When I was young, I always felt that we need to have a boy to carry on the family line, so after she gave birth to two girls in a row, I felt very uncomfortable. I felt that our Lu family had come to an end. I gave her a hard time every day and scolded her for not being able to give birth to a son. That was why she had the intention to send Qianyu away.”

At this point, the old lady suddenly clutched her chest. “I never expected that sending Qianyu away would actually bury such a huge hidden danger for our Lu family. Our Lu family is almost ruined.”

Aunt Lu’s old mother pointed at the old lady and scolded, “It’s all your fault. You caused Qianyu to suffer and killed Qianqian and my daughter. You old fart, why didn’t you die instead of them? You deserve to die the most.”

!!
Uncle Lu scolded his mother-in-law at the top of his lungs, “Mom, shut up. Don’t you think my family’s matters are messy enough?”

“Chaos? That’s your retribution. Why should you two live well? Why? If you could treat my daughter well, she wouldn’t have gone to a dead end.”

“Mom, Madam went to see Qianyu. After hearing about Qianyu’s tragic encounter, she was ashamed and decided to commit suicide,” Uncle Lu said.

“Hehe? Why should she be ashamed? If your mother didn’t hit and scold her every day, how could she bear to send Qianyu away? When Qianyu was three years old, she was seriously ill. In order to save her, my daughter didn’t sleep day and night. Her heart clearly ached for Qianyu. She must have her own difficulties in sending Qianyu away. Don’t think I don’t know that you two are hypocritical. My daughter bears all the bad things and you’re good people. But only I know that my daughter is definitely not such a heartless person.”

Uncle Lu looked pained. “Mom, so many relatives and friends are watching. Get up quickly. If you have anything to say, say it after sending Madam off.”

Mrs. Lu’s mother stayed on the ground.

“I’m here today. No one is allowed to take my daughter’s body. As her mother, I have to seek justice for her.”

“Nonsense,” Uncle Lu scolded angrily.

Qiao An wanted to comfort the sad old mother, but Xiaoran pulled her back to her with ulterior motives.

Qiao An looked at Xiao Ran in confusion. Xiao Ran whispered to Qiao An, “An’an, Aunt Lu’s mother is right. This family has almost been destroyed. Why are only Uncle Lu and Old Madam Lu alive?”

Qiao An felt that Huo Xiaoran was overthinking.

Qianyu had been sent away by Aunt Lu. Qianqian had been injured and killed by the bandits. Aunt Lu had committed suicide to apologize. Wasn’t everyone’s outcomes clearly aligned with their actions?

What was he questioning?

At this moment, Huo Xiaoran took out his phone and sent a message to Huo Zhou.

“There is something suspicious about Aunt Lu’s body. Check her neck and arms. Remember to take photos.”

When Huo Zhou saw this message, his legs trembled in fear.

“Xiaoran, I’m afraid.”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Then should I get my An’an to check?”

Huo Zhou glanced at the cold and arrogant Huo Xiaoran opposite him. Huo Xiaoran’s words seemed ordinary, but they were very insulting. He was mocking Huo Zhou for being inferior to Qiao An.

Huo Zhou mustered his courage. “I’ll go.”

He left silently.

When Huo Zhou returned to the mourning hall, he realized that the guests were all gathered inside to watch the commotion. The mourning hall was cold.

Huo Zhou was terrified. He did not dare to look into Aunt Lu’s eyes, let alone look at her tongue that had fallen out. He quickly took off Mrs. Lu’s gloves and was extremely surprised to see the scars on her arm. He quickly took out his phone and took a photo. Then, he quickly put on her gloves.

In the end, he held back his extreme fear and undid the silk scarf around Mrs. Lu’s neck. At this moment, the bruises on her neck were very eye-catching. Huo Zhou was so frightened that he almost threw his phone away. He quickly took a photo and retied the silk scarf around her neck.

When Huo Zhou returned to Aunt Lu’s bedroom, the intense argument inside seemed to have been suppressed by Uncle Lu.

Uncle Lu scolded his mother-in-law in an extremely dignified manner, “Mom, Ziqiu sent Qianyu away and caused Qianyu to go astray. She apologized through her death and this matter will come to an end. If you insist on pursuing the matter, it will only ruin Ziqiu’s reputation. Are you willing to see your daughter being criticized by everyone?”

Aunt Lu’s mother cried hoarsely.

Her old body didn’t allow her the strength or energy to continue struggling. She went from wailing to sobbing softly.

The grievance that she couldn’t say was even more pitiful.

Huo Zhou quietly walked up to Huo Xiaoran and handed the photo in his phone to him. “Xiaoran, how did you discover it?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “I’m a doctor.”

Huo Zhou was enlightened.

“What do we do now?”

Huo Xiaoran said, “Think of a way to remind Aunt Lu’s family and get them to call the police to investigate the cause of Aunt Lu’s death. As long as the forensic doctor interferes, the cause of Aunt Lu’s death will be exposed.”

Huo Zhou said, “Okay.”

It was unknown how Huo Zhou informed Aunt Lu’s family, but after Uncle Lu successfully used a sum of money to assuage their displeasure, Aunt Lu’s brother suddenly went back on his word.

He stood up and said indignantly, “Brother-in-law, the compensation you gave us was intended to send a beggar away, right? Since you married my sister, half of this family’s assets belongs to her. You should transfer that half to us.”

Uncle Lu was furious. “I’m her husband and Qianyu is her daughter. How can she give you all her inheritance?”

His uncle scoffed. “You want my sister’s inheritance? That depends on whether you’re qualified.”

A faint questioning expression appeared on Uncle Lu’s face. “What do you mean?”

“I think I should leave it to the police to investigate how my sister died.”

Uncle Lu was furious. “What do you mean? Are you suspecting that I killed your sister?”

“My sister is already dead. She won’t refute anything you say. But I still don’t believe that my sister would be willing to abandon Qianyu and leave decisively. So, I want to report the case and let the forensic doctor investigate the cause of my sister’s death.”

Uncle Lu softened his tone. “Don’t you just think I gave you too little money? My family is ruined now. Anyway, money is useless to me. Take whatever you like from this family. Don’t delay your sister’s burial.”
