Meng Xiang was stabbed six times in total, three of which injured his internal organs. If the medical elder had been present at the time, he might have had a chance to save his life.
The problem was that he had lost too much blood and it had been delayed for so long, so there was nothing he could do.
Elder Wu said: "Looking at the attitude of the Meng family, it's fortunate that the person died before diagnosis and treatment, otherwise it would be difficult to explain clearly."
The medical elder also touched his chin and said, "I think Meng Jia might have really had some temptation. You guys, I'm afraid you will have one more enemy from now on."
This night is destined to be a sleepless night.
There was a feeling of mourning in Prime Minister Meng's house.
The incident happened suddenly and there was no preparation at all.
White cloth and other items need to be purchased after dawn. Fortunately, Mengxiang and his wife are old, so the materials for the longevity and the tomb have been prepared long ago.
The temporarily decorated mourning hall was filled with cigarette smoke. Meng Jia knelt alone in front of the mourning body, slowly putting the paper money into the basin and watching it slowly burn.
There was no special expression on his face, and only when he turned his back occasionally could you see the sparkling tears in the corners of his eyes.
Meng walked in, knelt down gently beside him, picked up a few ingots, put them into the brazier, and whispered: "Sansan, my condolences."
Meng Jia was silent. When he saw some paper dust falling on the spiritual tablet, he stood up and gently wiped it off with his sleeves.
After wiping the spiritual tablets clean, he wiped the offering table carefully again without speaking to Meng.
Meng sighed, stayed with him silently for a while, stood up and went out.
Lin Mi stood outside the mourning hall in plain clothes and said worriedly: "Fifth brother, my husband..."
Meng sighed: "He will be fine. How is the old lady?"
Lin Mi lowered his head and rubbed the handkerchief, and whispered: "I just passed away from crying. My sister-in-law is guarding me. I'm worried. Come and see your husband."
Meng said: "You go in."
Lin Mi took a deep breath before walking inside.
Meng Jia had already cleaned the mourning hall and knelt down on the futon again to burn paper money.
Lin Mi walked in without saying a word, and knelt down with him to burn paper.
After a long time, Meng Jia seemed to have discovered her existence, and said in a hoarse voice: "How is my mother?"
Lin Mi was flattered: "I'm too sad. My sister-in-law is watching over me. I don't trust you. Come and have a look."
Meng Jia pursed her lips, remained silent for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Go and accompany my mother, and let my sister-in-law come out to attend to the funeral."
Lin Mi shook his hands, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
She is the mistress of this mansion. Grandma Rui used to help run the house, but that was because she hadn't entered the house yet.
Now, since she is married, it is her responsibility to take care of the funeral and be the person to treat others.
My mother-in-law is old and nostalgic, and she likes to talk about the past with people every day.
She doesn’t know those things, and she’s not as familiar with her mother-in-law’s preferences as Grandma Rui. She definitely doesn’t have Grandma Rui to accompany her.
She felt aggrieved, but she didn't dare to tell Meng Jia directly.
Meng Jia waited for a moment and saw no answer from her, so he turned back and looked at her intently.
Lin Mi got excited, stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go right away. My sister-in-law is more familiar with housework than me, and I'm afraid of making mistakes...
But please, husband, please take care of yourself, okay? My mother-in-law and I only have you, so don’t let us worry."
Meng Jia was silent for a moment before slowly nodding: "I understand, go ahead. I will go to the palace after dawn. You should keep an eye on my mother and discuss anything with my sister-in-law, fifth brother, and the others."
This was the first time he explained his itinerary to her.
Lin Mi was so excited that she shed tears: "Okay, okay! Don't worry."
