"Cousin!"
Xiao Yun came to the grain store early in the morning. She knew what her cousin had been copying these past few days and was worried that he had forgotten today's date.
When she arrived, Sun Cheng had just taken the breakfast prepared by the maids from the inner world.
When he saw Xiao Yun, he smiled and waved at her." Xiao Yun, come here." You haven't eaten breakfast yet, right? I'm just about to eat. Let's eat together!”
After saying that, he stood up and went to scoop some sweet potato porridge for Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun sat on the table obediently. She had already eaten breakfast before she came.
However, she was going to marry in two months. She was already gentle and pleasant, and now she was even more obedient to her future husband.
Sun Cheng could roughly guess, but he also knew that Uncle Yang's food was definitely not as good as his.
He quickly scooped a bowl of sweet potato porridge for Xiao Yun and brought over a small plate of pickles.
Ever since Sun Cheng started practicing martial arts, his appetite had always been huge.
Therefore, Xiao Yun did not find it strange when she saw him having a whole roasted chicken for breakfast early in the morning.
Sun Cheng knew that although her life at home was not bad, she still had a younger brother.
Since ancient times, men were superior to women in Xia country. Therefore, even if there was good food, they would eat it first with Xiao Yun's brother.
Therefore, he reached out and tore a chicken drumstick and placed it on the plate in front of her.
"Thank you, cousin!"
Xiao Yun was a little shy, but she still smiled sweetly at him.
Sun Cheng nodded. Neither of them had any intention of chatting while eating.
It took him 15 minutes to finish this seemingly extravagant and greasy breakfast.
Xiao Yun cleaned up the dishes and was about to go to the backyard to wash the dishes.
She also carried Sun Cheng's dirty clothes to the backyard. It seemed that he would be staying at his place in the morning.
Sun Cheng changed into a new set of clothes and rushed to the Ma Family.
Ma Linxiang's funeral had already lasted for three days, and he would be buried today.
By the time he arrived, almost all the influential people in town had arrived.
"Good morning, Shopkeeper Sun…"
"Old Master Ma, my condolences…"
"Master Tan, long time no see!"
"Haha, so it's Boss Sun!”
Sun Cheng greeted them along the way and entered Ma tribe.
In the morning, the Ma family was very lively.
Back then, Ma Linxiang was really something. The huge Ma Family was passed down to his father.
Old Master Ma had also diligently led Ma tribe back then.
However, this good-for-nothing son of a rich family did not live up to expectations. He had made a group of bad friends since he was young.
He spent his days in fireworks and casinos, and even smoked cigarettes.
Ma Linxiang had taken over all the bad habits of prostitution, gambling, and drugs, and even the wealthiest family could not afford it.
The Ma family's branch was destroyed in his hands.
Because of this, although the other branches of the Ma family had paid for his funeral, they had also helped him.
However, Sun Cheng did not see anyone who was genuinely sad for him.
Even the 'filial sons and grandsons' in the mourning hall were invited by Second Uncle, who was in the funeral business.
Not even a single Ma Clan's main clan disciple. It could be seen how unwelcomed Ma Linxiang this fellow was within the Ma Clan.
The mourning hall was very lively in the morning. Burial in Shangxiang Town was usually in the afternoon.
However, there was still an endless stream of people coming to town in the morning to pay their final respects to Ma Linxiang.
In the mourning hall, Ma Linxiang had already been moved from the mourning bed to the coffin.
Sun Cheng followed the group and walked around the coffin.
As soon as he got close, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
With his sharper sense of smell than ordinary people, he could smell a rotten smell coming from Ma Linxiang's body.
Although the smell was very faint and was suppressed by the smell of a few anti-corrosion herbs, it could not hide from Sun Cheng.
"Looks like you're still the same as in the plot, suffering a calamity!”
Although Sun Cheng was a little surprised that Ma Linxiang was still killed by Li Helin and the others, he had no intention of avenging him.
This guy was not a good person. Moreover, the two of them did not have much friendship. He did not want to offend a cultivator for this.
However, once Ma Linxiang died, Sun Cheng had to pay more attention to Zhu Dachang.
At noon, the main banquet was held in an empty space near the Ma family ancestral hall.
These days, the relationship between clans was still very strong.
Although they did not like Ma Linxiang, the Ma family's branches did not mistreat him at all and handled his funeral beautifully.
Eighty tables were already the largest number of tables in Shangxiang Town in recent years.
The Ma family invited the chefs of two restaurants in town. Each table had four hot dishes and eight cold dishes.
Paired with steamed buns and two plates of desserts, it really cost a lot of money.
Sun Cheng had accumulated quite a bit of fame in Shangxiang Town in the past two years, so he was invited to the ancestral hall.
The Ma family had set up six separate tables in the courtyard of the ancestral hall. The people invited were all prominent figures in the town.
In this era, the people in the town did not have much to eat.
Sun Cheng casually glanced outside and saw that all the plates on the 70 tables had been licked. There was not even a drop of soup.
After the banquet ended, Sun Cheng did not leave.
Ma Linxiang was buried in the afternoon. He had wanted to go over and talk to Zhu Dachang several times in the morning.
However, this fellow had been following Ma tribe's people around, and Sun Cheng had not found an opportunity from the beginning to the end, so he could only give up for now.
However, because Second Granduncle was getting on in age and had a little too much to drink in the afternoon, he was arranged by the Ma family's butler to temporarily rest in a tent set up at the side after the banquet ended.
Sun Cheng saw the opportunity and leaned over.
"Second Granduncle!"
Sun Cheng nudged Second Great Uncle who was resting on a bamboo chair in the tent!
"Hmm?"
Second Great Uncle opened his eyes in a daze. When he saw that it was Sun Cheng, he frowned slightly.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to speak, Sun Cheng interrupted him,""Second Granduncle, when I went to pay my respects to Brother Linxiang's remains, I felt that something was wrong.”
Second Granduncle's eyes flashed." Tell me…"
In fact, he had long noticed that something was wrong, but because the Ma family was a wealthy family in the town.
Second granduncle was also worried that his old eyes were blurry, so he did not meddle in other people's business.
Moreover, he did not have a good impression of Ma Linxiang.
Sun Cheng leaned closer and said in a low voice,""My sense of smell is very sharp. When I went to burn incense for Brother Lin Xiang the day before yesterday, I didn't smell any corpse stench or medicinal herbs. Yesterday, when I went to the Ma family to deliver wine, I didn't smell it either. However, I smelled it in the morning. It smelled like someone who had just died, at most a few hours ago.”
Second Granduncle immediately sat up." Sun Family's kid, help me out to see Lin Xiang."”
"Good!"
Sun Cheng immediately helped Second Granduncle up and walked quickly toward the mourning hall.
On the way, he met the Ma family's butler who was instructing the servants to clean up. When he saw Second Granduncle, he quickly asked,"Second Granduncle, are you going?”
"The weather is too hot, I'll get the Sun Family's kid to help me to the mourning hall to take a look, don't let anything happen to Lin Xiang!”
The butler quickly thanked him and even called a servant over to help him, but he was rejected by Second Granduncle.
The two of them were very loud just now, so Li Yueying and the others who were guarding the spirit in the mourning hall did not stop them when they heard them.
With Sun Cheng's help, the old man walked to the coffin and looked at it carefully. He reached in and touched Ma Linxiang's body.
He calmly picked up a few medicine packets that were placed in the coffin and sniffed them before nodding.
"Aunt Lin Xiang, you and your big brother are so thoughtful. These few packets of medicinal herbs were not bad. If not for them, Lin Xiang's body would probably have a taste by now.”
After saying that, he looked at the sky outside and shook his head."Sigh, it's hard on Lin Xiang on such a hot day.”
After chatting with Li Yueying for a while, he asked Sun Cheng to help him back to the tent.
