After the eldest sister of the wronged family was reborn, she created a whole family of ungrateful p

The old lady’s funeral is not difficult to handle, but the difficult part is that the Shen family has no male heirs now.

The one who should have gone up was Shen Changlin from the second house, but he died a few days earlier than his mother, and Shen Ming also died.

In the end, this matter has to fall on Shen Yu's head, but Shen Yu is nominally in the Shen family's ancestral home, but in fact, no one knows where he is hiding in Dongyue.

The journey to Dongyue is too long, and Shen Ning couldn't bring the person back in a few days.

As for Liu Chunsheng, he was not even included in the family tree, so it was impossible for him, an illegitimate child with no name or status, to be involved in this matter.

After several families discussed it, they finally gave the responsibility to Gao Junyu. He was the eldest aunt's husband and had two sons, so it would not be impolite for him to take charge of this matter.

Logically speaking, it would be more appropriate for Jiang Shu to come, after all, Shen Xia is the old lady's biological daughter. But it would take several days for Jiang Shu to get back, and he couldn't just keep waiting.

The person settled down, but Zhao couldn't calm down. She stared at Shen Ning, her eyes not eyes and her nose not nose.

"Now you are satisfied, this huge Shen family can't even find a male heir. If the Shen family is wiped out one day, you will be a sinner for all eternity!"

"How could the Shen family produce a scourge like you!"

Relying on the fact that they were outnumbered, Zhao spoke in a much louder voice, and his surging hatred could not be suppressed.

Shen Ning straightened his sleeves without even looking at her: "I understand that Second Aunt is emotional because of the death of the old lady, but don't get too excited, it's not good to hurt your body."

For the dead man's sake, she will not take it to heart for now, but she shouldn't be too pushy.

She just didn't want others to think that she had killed all the other members of the Shen family, but that didn't mean she couldn't deal with her.

Shen Ning walked out, straightened his linen clothes, knelt in his seat, threw a handful of paper money into the brazier, closed his eyes and listened to the Taoist chanting.

The old lady was a disrespectful person, and Shen Ning really didn't want to kneel before her, but because of her seniority and the pressure of filial piety, she had to kneel.

She was kneeling not for the old lady, but for her own face and reputation.

In the middle of winter, it is warmest here next to the brazier. She hates winter!

"Shen Ning!"

A man came towards him and stood in the middle of the road, blocking Shen Ning's way.

Shen Ning had to stop and stuffed his frozen hands into his sleeves: "Cousin."

My eldest cousin Gao Yang, the eldest son of my eldest aunt Shen Sui, is 25 years old and is already the father of two children.

Gao Yang looked at Shen Ning's pale face and couldn't help but laughed, "Are you so afraid of the cold? Look how cold you are."

Shen Ning rolled his eyes at him. Seeing that her face was pale from the cold, he wondered why he had to stop her in this corridor where the wind was leaking from all sides.

No sense at all.

"Cousin, is there something wrong?"

Gao Yang: "It's okay, I just want to say hello to you. I have been too busy to talk to you these past two days. We haven't seen each other for a few years, and you have become more outstanding."

Shen Ning was speechless. This man was chatting with her in such a strong snowy wind. Didn't he think she would be touched?

Smirking, "Cousin, you're too kind. That's all. My clothes are wet. I'll go change. Bye."

After saying that, she left in a hurry without waiting for his answer.

Gao Yang was pushed and looked at Shen Ning's back with a frown.

Impatient and rude, is this cousin really the one my father said could help him get his job back?

Of the male members of the Shen family, only Shen Yu was left, who was sent to the old house. Apart from his money, there was nothing else worth looking up to.

Gao Yang went back and told his father his thoughts, but he was immediately scolded by his father.

“Short-sighted and ignorant!”

Gao Junyu pulled Gao Yang out and pointed at the woman who hurried in with something: "Do you know who that is?"

Gao Yang recognized her: "Du Yunzhi, Du Sande's daughter."

Gao Junyu: "Then do you know who her fiancé is?"

Gao Yang obviously didn't know this. Gao Junyu snorted, "Her fiancé Ye Feiyan is the son of the Minister of Rites."

Gao Yang's look immediately changed.

Gao Junyu walked in with his hands behind his back: "I have been helping to collect funeral gifts these past two days. Do you know who these people are?"

"The Prince of Qi's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Imperial Tutor's Mansion, the Ministry of Rites' Shanshu, the Ministry of Works' Shangshu, and the Duke's Mansion..."

Gao Junyu talked about them one by one, as if he knew them all by heart, with shock and fascination revealed in his words and expression.

"Yang'er, even if your father went to beg on his knees, they wouldn't necessarily meet me, but they sent gifts to this small mansion."

"Of course your grandfather and uncle have to save face, but the one who may maintain these favors is Shen Ning, the current head of the Shen family. If she can give a favor, why worry about me not being able to return to my position?"

He patted his son's shoulder and said, "You will take the exam next year. Whether you succeed or not, you can't do without her help. Your mother's words are not nice, and you always offend her, but this is the fault of our previous generation, and it has nothing to do with you. You should build a good relationship with her and let your wife come over often. You will benefit a lot."

Gao Yang nodded seriously: "My son has learned his lesson."

Shen Ning didn't know about the plots of the Gao family father and son, but even if he knew, it wouldn't matter, it wouldn't mean anything.

She had no time to attend to them now, for she was down with a cold.

He was fine in the morning, but felt dizzy in the afternoon, and then started to have a fever. In less than an hour, he was so feverish that he was unconscious and unable to get out of bed.

The disease came on with such force that it knocked Shen Ning down without giving her any time to prepare.

Du Yunzhi went to help find a doctor and brought Ye Feiyan to keep the peace, fearing that Shen Ning would fall ill and be bullied by this group of people.

Zhao had originally said in a sarcastic tone that Shen Ning was pretending, but when she learned that Shen Ning had been weak due to the last incident, she laughed wildly in the mourning hall and patted the old lady's coffin, asking her to get up and see Shen Ning's retribution.

"She deserves it! She killed my cousin and my uncle. She deserves it."

She patted the coffin board and said, "Mother-in-law, why don't you just take that evildoer with you and let her go downstairs to apologize to Chang Lin and Ming Er."

"Take her away and send her to hell!"

Zhao acted like a madman and everyone was shocked.

Someone immediately came over to pull her, covering her mouth while pulling her.

These were not Shen Ning's men, but Gao Junyu and Jiang Shu who took action at the same time and asked their wives to go forward and help pull the men away.

After dragging Zhao away, the two men pretended to apologize and said perfunctorily, "She is too shocked and unconscious. Let her go back and recuperate."

"Yes, she needs to be well trained."

Shen Ning did nothing these days, but these two people were obviously a little shocked by the funeral. Regardless of whether Shen Ning said he could help them transfer official positions, they were willing to do Shen Ning a favor.

Those who work in the officialdom know best how cruel it is, and they also understand the importance of personal connections.

No matter how bad their relationship with Shen Ning is, they are still relatives.

There is always some benefit in making some repairs.
