Chapter 380 – The one who died wasn’t Second Brother.

“Second brother, he’s not dead, that corpse isn’t him.” Wei Ruo said with certainty.

“No …… not the second young master?” Xiu Mei’s eyes widened, her mouth opened wide, and she didn’t close it for half a day.

“First, I’ve seen the body of the second brother, that corpse, although close to his figure, but I’m sure it’s not him, a lot of details can’t match; second, this time he came back this time had mentioned to me more than once, if I get the news that he had an accident told me not to believe it, it’s a miscommunication.” Wei Ruo analyzed.

“This …… second young master did say that, but would the second young master really mean this time when he said that?”

To be really that is naturally the best, Xiu Mei is afraid that it is a misunderstanding, then empty joy, Miss still have to be difficult a second time.

“This person, Second Brother, usually doesn’t say much, and even less nonsense, he said that twice in a row, so he must have had an ulterior motive. At first I also thought that he said that as just an unusual admonition, but when I saw that corpse and then associated it with what he had said previously, I felt that something wasn’t right, and that things shouldn’t have happened so coincidentally.” Wei Ruo analyzed.

After listening to Wei Ruo’s analysis Xiu Mei’s heart burst with joy, and then followed up with, “So Miss you judged that he wasn’t the second young master the first day you saw his body?”

“At the beginning when you guys stopped and didn’t let me observe it up close I was only 80% sure, but later on during the wake I carefully observed the body in the coffin, and in the end I could be 100% sure that it wasn’t Second Brother. Naturally Xiao Bei’s body is also a fake.”

“Why is that? Why did the well guards ship two fake corpses back to lie to us that the second young master is dead?” Xiu Mei was confused.

“It should not be the idea of the well guards, but rather the idea of Second Brother himself. It’s just that I don’t know why Second Brother did it. Maybe it has something to do with what he’s going to do, or maybe he has another arrangement, in any case, what I can be sure of is that the person who died wasn’t him, and he must still be alive and well somewhere.”

Immediately after Wei Ruo said to Xiu Mei, “I’m sorry Meimei, for making you worry for a few days, I haven’t been able to find a chance to talk to you in detail about this matter these past few days.”

These two days Wei Ruo in the spirit hall wake and Xiumei because of the house manpower was called to the front yard to help.

The two of them have not had much opportunity to meet, coupled with the fact that there are many people in the house in the past two days, Wei Ruo has not had much opportunity to inform Xiu Mei of the news after determining that the dead people are not Wei Jin Yi and Xiao Bei.

Xiu Mei shook her head, “I’m fine, as long as the second young master and the others aren’t really in trouble than anything else.”

Wei Ruo continued, “This matter only you and I know on the line, these days went outside or to show some sadness, no matter what the purpose of the second brother to do so, you and I can not spoil his plans.”

Xiu Mei nodded heavily, “Don’t worry, miss, I will definitely keep it a secret.”

###

The day after the funeral, Wei Yi-chen sent Xiao Nan to send over a few oil-paper bags full of dried fruit and pastries to Wei Ruo.

There was also a jewelry box with some of the head flower pompoms and such that are popular in the province today.

Most of them were bought by Wei Yi-chen when he was in the provincial capital, and were supposed to be given to Wei Ruo on the day he returned to the house, but the sad news of Wei Jin’s death came after Wei Yi-chen went to meet Yun.

So it was only after the three days of mourning that Wei Yi Chen had the chance to give something to Wei Ruo.

“Our young master said that these past few days, Missy has eaten less and has lost weight, so she asked to pay more attention to her body and eat more.” Xiao Nan passed on the message.

Xiu Mei glanced at Wei Ruo and saw Wei Ruo nodding before she took the items from Xiao Nan’s hand, “Many thanks, Young Master.”

Xiaonan followed and added, “The eldest young master also asked me to bring a message to the eldest young miss, saying that people who can’t live again after death still need to live well, and that the second young master will surely accompany the eldest young miss in the underworld, hoping that the eldest young miss will be safe and joyful.”

“Thanks to big brother’s concern, I’m fine.” Wei Ruo replied politely.

“Alright, it’s good that Eldest Miss is fine, I’ll go back and report back to the Eldest Young Master.” Xiao Nan returned.

Xiao Nan turned to leave after completing the task Wei Yi Chen had given him.

Once he turned around, Xiao Nan saw that Wei Qingwan was also there, not knowing if she was passing by or had come over specifically.

“Meet the second young lady.”

Xiao Nan greeted Wei Qingwan according to the rules, but his tone and demeanor was obviously not as warm and respectful as when he faced Wei Ruo just now.

Both he and his young master had been victimized by Wei Qingwan and had suffered a lot, so it was impossible for him to have a good attitude towards Wei Qingwan anymore.

After saying hello Minami left.

Wei Qingwan’s eyes turned to Wei Ruo and Xiu Mei and saw several large oil paper packages that Xiu Mei was holding in her arms.

Wei Qingwan felt a little prickly.

How familiar ah, once upon a time big brother went out and came back, also always bring her some snacks to eat, several oil paper bag, packed full.

Today the habit remains the same, but the people who give it away have changed.

When Wei Ruo saw Wei Qingwan, she was ready to close the courtyard door.

Tui Ho stepped forward and pressed one hand against the door panel.

“Eldest Miss, our young lady came to look for you, why do you have to close the door?” Cui He pressed on the door panel without letting go, not allowing Wei Ruo to close the door.

Wei Ruo replied, “When I was in the countryside, when I saw a wild dog running toward my door, I chose to close the door, because the wild dog is not humane, and if you tell it to get away, it doesn’t understand, and not only won’t go away, but will also show its teeth and lunge at you, not to mention dirtying your clothes, but it may also tear my clothes and leave teeth marks on my body.”

Wei Qingwan’s face stared as she said, “It seems that sister has already come out of the grief of her second brother’s passing, I thought that sister and her second brother were very affectionate, but it seems that it’s nothing more than that.”

Obviously two days ago, she Wei Qingruo still looked sad and upset, but today she already had the strength to choke on dark sarcasm.

Wei Ruoyu leisurely back: “I and my older brothers and sisters at home than sister you are a little better feelings, before the pit big brother to see death, after the second brother passed away only mocking, this kind of cold and hard heart, I also only in the Qingwan sister so ‘gentle and kind’ people have seen. “

Wei Qingwan’s face sank, then replied in a cold voice, “Sister doesn’t need to say such words to provoke me, I can come this far today, sister can’t take the credit.”

“You mean, everything you did wrong was because I forced you to do it?” Wei Ruo snorted.

“If Sister hadn’t pushed me every step of the way, would my situation have become so difficult? I had also warmed my heart to get along with sister, did sister give me that chance?” Wei Qingwan asked rhetorically.

“I forced you? Did I force you to have an affair with the third son of the Qi family? Did I force you to save your big brother from death?” Wei Ruo listened and laughed.
