When the eldest young master Auster arrived with his housekeeper and two cronies in the secret room where the head of the Herme family was, he found that his second brother Adela and his third sister Claudel had arrived one step ahead.
He was very dissatisfied with this. As the eldest son and the designated heir of the family, shouldn't he be the first person to be notified after his father's accident?
"It's all this bastard Richard's fault. If he hadn't been so desperate to change his pants, how could it have taken so long!" the eldest young master thought depressingly.
At this time, although there were not many people waiting for news outside the secret room, there was already a gloomy atmosphere. Except for the three children of the head of the Hemei family, there were also two elderly uncles present, and everyone had gloomy faces.
Uncle Gen, on the other hand, was still sitting outside the secret room door, with his eyes closed and an unusually solemn expression on his face.
"Master, he...!" Before the eldest young master could speak, Reya threw him into his arms. The woman started sobbing before she could finish her words, her body still shaking uncontrollably.
"Uncle Gen, what happened to the head of the family?!" Oster gently stroked his wife's back to express comfort, and asked in a deep voice.
"Your father passed away during the treatment process! Please express your condolences! Now, since everyone is here, let's go in and take a look! Be careful not to get too excited. Butler Richard, you and the eldest young master's entourage do not need to go in.
"Uncle Gen said slowly, with a hint of sadness and anger in his tone.
The old man's words were like a thunderbolt, making everyone dizzy. However, due to their long-term good upbringing and cultivation, they did not start a fuss, but turned their attention to Oster at the same time.
The new head of the family is about to take over.
"Follow me in!" the eldest young master said, waving to everyone. His voice was very low, with uncontrollable trembling. The moment that he had expected came suddenly, and Oster's heart went through thousands of times, with mixed emotions.
"I told you, the housekeeper and your men shouldn't go in!" Uncle Gen opened his eyes slightly, glanced at Richard and others who were about to take a step and said.
"If my father really passes away, then I will be the new head of the family. I will naturally know who can go in! Does it mean that if the master changes, will the rules also change?" Auster asked in a cold voice with a sad look on his face.
At this time, everyone felt the pressure from Uncle Gen, and Reya tightened her husband's arm, fearing that he would conflict with her in anger.
"Haha! That's true!" Unexpectedly, Uncle Gen didn't have an attack. The old man laughed sinisterly and said, "Then you all can go in! However, I have served two generations of family heads, and they have never dared to do this to me.
Speaking, this is also a rule, please remember it well!"
"Uncle Gen! My husband is in a mess now, and there are many conflicts between his words. Please don't blame me!" Reya stopped Auster, who was about to yell angrily, and begged with a tearful voice.
Uncle Gen snorted coldly, stopped talking, and closed his eyes again.
The eldest young master glared at Uncle Gen, and at the same time shook off his wife's arm with dissatisfaction, pushed open the door to the secret room, and walked in first.
The atmosphere in the secret room was solemn and strange.
The head of the Hemei family was lying flat on the bed motionless, while the others were whispering around Miaochun and Qingyan who were lying on the ground. The fat man held the woman's hand, his face so gloomy that he seemed to be dripping.
"Father!" Oster rushed to the bedside and grabbed the old man's arm, tears welling up in his eyes.
The old man's hands were cold and lifeless. The once all-powerful figure no longer had the majesty of the past, and all that was left was a slightly shriveled body.
The rest of the Herme family also came close, and the youngest daughter Claudel threw herself directly on her father and began to cry loudly.
Their lowest level was an intermediate-level injection master. Standing in front of the corpse, they could not feel any energy fluctuations from the old man at all. This was proof that the person had died completely and transparently.
"What on earth is going on? Who allowed these quack doctors to treat the head of the family?!" Auster asked Reya with bloodshot eyes.
Reya felt very guilty at this time, and she never expected that her husband would have such an attitude. Although she was panicked, she still did not want Auster to point the finger at Fatty and others, so she cried: "I brought these
People come to see the head of the family, they are not doctors, there are some secrets, can I tell you in private?"
"Hidden secrets?" The eldest young master frowned and asked in a hateful voice: "Excluding flesh and blood, the closest relatives here are the elders of the family. Is there anything you can't say clearly?"
Seeing that her husband was showing signs of foul play, Reya could only explain helplessly: "This envoy has the 'Jade Key to the Heart' in his hand. After they went in to meet the head of the family, everything was normal. I think even if they rescued
, it should, should have been approved by the head of the family!"
"The Jade Key to the Heart? Where is it?" Auster pretended not to know, turned his head and looked at Fatty and others and asked.
"Here he is! What's going on? Is it true or not, are you more knowledgeable than the head of the Hemei family? Why don't you come over and have a look? My companion was seriously injured trying to treat the old man's injury, and I can't leave now!" said the fat man sternly.
After saying this, he showed the key and shook it.
Hearing the name "Lian Xin Jade Key", except for the housekeeper Richard, everyone in the Hemei family present showed expressions of surprise. If they were not stopped by Auster's cold eyes, the two uncles
The old man even knelt down to worship.
Richard obviously didn't know the core secret of the Hemei family yet. He glanced at everyone's expressions and said: "No matter what great thing he is holding, he should not pretend to be a miracle doctor first, and then randomly treat injuries later.
.Now, the master of the house died innocently, young master, why don’t you hurry up and take down these murderers first?!"
"Presumptuous!" Before anyone else could speak, the second young master Adela had already yelled angrily: "Where is your turn to talk nonsense? Who asked you to come in? Get out!"
This man has always had an upright and forthright temper, but now that he was depressed, he naturally spoke without any scruples.
"Second brother! It was I who asked Butler Richard to come in. Ever since his father fell ill, he has spent a lot of time running around looking for doctors and medicine. Just yesterday, the pills given by 'Ghost Returns Yang' had arrived. If it weren't for
How could these guys end up in the current situation if they don't know how to pretend to know how to forcefully diagnose and treat the family head?" Auster explained with a stern face.
Seeing that the eldest young master finally pointed the finger at him, the fat man finally breathed a sigh of relief. He sneered a few times and asked: "Mr. Oster, you keep saying that 'guy' is long and 'guy' is short. Who are you talking about?"
You just didn't pay homage to the family's tokens when you saw them, but you actually spoke rudely to the envoy. Is this your attitude and decision-making towards your old employer as the successor head of the family?"
As soon as the fat man said this, the scene suddenly became quiet. Even Auster's third sister Claudel stopped crying and watched with tears how his eldest brother answered.
Mr. Butler's heart was completely turned upside down by Mr. Mai's words, "I have worked in the Hemei family for five or six years, and I don't want them to have secrets that I don't know about. Haha! This must be someone who can sell it."
News of a big price!" He thought, and stopped speaking, but pricked up his ears for fear of missing a word.
"Your Majesty, please don't be angry. My husband also lost his family recently, so he..." Hearing that something was wrong, Reya hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
But before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by her husband with a gloomy look: "Sir, what you said is exactly right! It took four generations of the Hemei family to reach its current status and achievements. Among them, I only see close relatives.
I have worked hard with my servants, but I have never felt any support from the 'old club'! My father has passed away, why not let those outdated, old and rotten bonds dissipate with him! What do you think?"
