Chapter 699 She Should Be Buried in the Shen Family Mausoleum
Chapter 699 She Should Be Buried in the Shen Family Mausoleum
The next morning.
The sunlight slowly poured down from above, covering the entire courtyard, and the old house woke up from its deep sleep.
It was still breakfast time, and several groups of guests had already come in and out of Grandma Wu's yard.
When everyone heard that great-grandmother didn't have much time left, they all rushed to see her for the last time.
The old lady was already ninety years old, which is considered a happy funeral in the eyes of the world, and many people would bring their children to share in the blessings.
In order not to disturb Grandma Wu's rest, most people brought their children to kowtow at the door and then left.
When Jiang Huashan rushed to the courtyard, the pavilion and corridors were already full of people. She didn't like this feeling very much, but she also knew that her chronic illness was always like this, so she said nothing and lowered her head to go back.
Shen Hang was originally talking to some elders in the tribe. He saw Jiang Huashan hiding in the crowd at a glance, and immediately stood up and walked into the pavilion.
"Dad, that girl is there."
Those sitting with Shen Jun were all elderly people in the clan. Although they were not as close as Shen Jun and Shen Zhuang, they were also quite famous in Xiangying.
Shen Jun restrained his smile and frowned, "If I hadn't asked the second son's wife, I really wouldn't have known that the younger generation nowadays are so cunning. They agree with their elders on the surface, but then act like a spoiled child. They pretend to obey but secretly disobey. It's really abominable. Go, call that girl over."
Shen Hang left the pavilion.
Originally he wanted to go and invite them himself, but then he thought that since he was the elder it would not be appropriate, so he asked a younger member of his family to go and invite them.
The younger generation was still young, only in his early twenties. After stopping Jiang Huashan, he couldn't say anything tough. He pointed to the location of the pavilion and said, "Old uncle wants you to go over there."
Jiang Huashan glanced at the pavilion and said simply and bluntly, "Tell him I'm not going."
The young man was stunned. How could he refuse this?
When the time comes and you get hit by the sticks from the ancestral hall, will you still want to stand there?
Jiang Huashan turned to leave, but the younger generation, in a moment of panic, reached out and pulled her, "You can't..."
Before he could finish his words, a dark shadow suddenly passed by him. Before his hand could touch Jiang Huashan, someone grabbed him and threw him back.
"What?" The voice was extremely cold.
The younger one was thrown around and spun in a circle, "You..."
He was about to get angry, but when he saw who was in front of him, he was frightened and immediately fell silent.
Shen Lanxi was half a head taller than the man. He didn't look down on purpose, but a single glance gave people a strong sense of oppression.
When had such a stunning figure ever appeared in the old house? The younger generation immediately guessed Shen Lanxi's identity and smiled awkwardly, "My uncle asked her to go to the pavilion, and she walked away while I was talking. I just wanted to stop her, I didn't mean anything else."
The younger generation was a little embarrassed. "They are all elders in the clan. If she just leaves like this, my uncle and the others will definitely be angry."
Since the person in front of him is the future head of the family, as long as he explains the interests involved, he should follow the family rules.
Shen Lanxi turned to look at Jiang Huashan and was about to speak when Jiang Huashan half-poked his head out from behind him, looking as if he was not willing to negotiate.
"Look at what I'm doing. I already told you I'm not going."
"Everyone in the clan is watching. It would be bad if someone caught me. I..."
Shen Lanxi suddenly paused in the middle of his words, remained silent for a moment, and then turned sideways. "You go first."
“…” The younger generation was speechless.
Even Jiang Huashan was stunned. He didn't react for a moment and stared at Shen Lanxi, "Are you...having a problem with your brain?"
Shen Lanxi was too lazy to argue with her, "Gao Zhi, send Miss Jiang back."
The more Jiang Huashan thought about it, the more she felt something was amiss. Shen Lanxi was such a stickler for rules. It would have been good enough if he hadn't scolded her. Why was he covering up for her?!
"Wait." She raised her hand and stopped Gao Zhi, "I changed my mind. I want to go again now."
The younger generation at the side immediately looked at Shen Lanxi. How could this be tolerated?
Shen Lanxi was used to her impulsive personality and nodded, "I'll go with you."
The more you do, the better your life will be? The younger generation doesn’t understand.

The people around had already noticed Shen Lanxi when he entered the courtyard. They were all waiting to go up and say hello, but they didn't expect him to lead a beautiful girl directly to the pavilion.
"Uncle, uncles."
As soon as the two entered the pavilion, the elderly people stood up and greeted Shen Lanxi with a smile.
This is the status of the eldest son of the family who is given high hopes. Even a dog passing by the ancestral house will stop and wag its tail when it sees him.
Jiang Huashan followed behind him with a forced smile and laughed.
Shen Jun had long noticed that Shen Lanxi was very protective of Jiang Huashan, but he didn't think much about it, thinking that she was just partial to him because they grew up together.
There are so many people talking at the moment, and if he really asks for accountability, he will probably have an unpleasant argument with Shen Lanxi.
After pondering for a moment, Shen Jun decided not to argue with Jiang Huashan for the time being. He smiled and said, "Lan Xi, you've come at the perfect time. Your uncles and I have chosen some Feng Shui sites for Grandma. Please help us with some advice."
The corners of Jiang Huashan's mouth froze instantly. The people in the pavilion didn't take her seriously at all. They only arranged a seat for Shen Lanxi. She was silent for a moment, turned around and left the pavilion again.
Shen Lanxi was about to ask her to sit down, but when she turned around, she was gone.
He was stunned. What happened?
The old men in the pavilion began to discuss:
"Grandma was an elder of our Shen family, and her funeral couldn't be taken lightly. We had originally chosen a prime location, but things changed. Your second uncle's cousin suddenly fell ill and passed away. Grandma was still in good health at the time, so after we discussed it with her, she gave up the original place."
"We are now eyeing these three plots of land. They have mountains and water, are surrounded by sand hills, and are a good place to store wind and gather energy. Take a look."
"I think the land in the north is the best. The winding water flows around it, and it's quiet and peaceful. Few people go there. Grandma likes quietness, so she should like it."
Jiang Huashan had already walked half a meter away from the pavilion when she heard this and burst into laughter. If she remembered correctly, Beishan was a barren mountain. These people actually wanted to bury their grandmother there?!
Her emotions were instantly ignited, and she turned around and rushed into the pavilion with murderous intent.
"Such a good Feng Shui treasure land should be kept for your own use!"
The old man who spoke was stunned for a moment, and when he realized what was happening, he almost fell over in anger, "You...what did you say?!"
Fearing that the old man would faint from anger, his companions rushed forward to comfort him, glaring at Jiang Huashan fiercely, "Whose family are you from? Do you still have any rules?!"
Shen Jun slammed his hand on the table in shock, "You little girl, do you really think no one can teach you a lesson? Why don't you admit your mistake to your uncle?"
Jiang Huashan snorted coldly, pretending not to hear, and stared at Shen Lanxi with a sharp gaze.
"Shen Lanxi, are you still human?! Grandma worked hard for the Shen family her whole life. If she passes away, she should be buried in the main mausoleum of the Shen family and receive the Shen family's incense!"
Shen Lanxi, "..."
