Reborn to Be A Noble Wife

Chapter 122: Looking for a Past, Loyal Servant

"Good to see you, First Master Ji!" Yue Wenhan bowed back and said frigidly, "I received a message from your family saying that my uncle suddenly passed away. So, I came here to see if you need any help. Please don't mind me if I've done anything inappropriate!"

"That's very kind of you, Mr. Yue. Please follow me inside." Ji Yong'an cast a glance at the carriage next to Yue Wenhan, wondering who was inside. Yue Wenhan hadn't married yet, so he had no idea who it could be. But it was not the right time to ask now.

Ji Yong'an led Yue Wenhan into the gate in person and accompanied him to the place where the carriages parked. Then he saw Qu Moying getting off the carriage and was stunned for a moment.

Qu Moying's outfit was different than ordinary people's. The long veil on her face could let people immediately figure out her identity. Even for people who had never seen her before, they could tell who she was right away.

Qu Moying got off the carriage, walked up to Ji Yong'an, and curtsied elegantly. Ji Yong'an was counted as her elder, so she couldn't neglect the formality.

But no one could see those eyes behind the veil filled with cold hatred!

"My cousin wants to come and help too, so I brought her here. We both wanted to visit our uncle but couldn't even see him for the last time when he was still alive. Can we go see him right now?" Yue Wenhan crossed his hands behind his back and asked Ji Yong'an while staring at him coldly.

Qu Moying quietly stepped back. With Yue Wenhan here, she didn't need to be the talking one.

Yue Wenhan's words made Ji Yong'an's heart pound in his chest. See him? How? They had nothing to let Yue Wenhan see!

"It's not the time to see him now because we are still cleaning him up. He had been sick for too long. He even said himself that if he passed away, he didn't want people to see him. He had been a brave and robust man for his entire life. It will be really saddening to see him...like that..." Ji Yong'an started to sob. He quickly turned aside to wipe his tears, looking sorrowful.

"Do you mean you won't let people see his body?" Yue Wenhan frowned at him and asked.

Usually, close relatives and friends ought to be able to see the body for the last time before it was buried. Yue Wenhan's relationship with the Ji Family was not too close but not too strange either. If he wanted to see his uncle's dead body, they should let him see it.

But it would also make sense that he was rejected since he didn't contact the Ji Family very often. Moreover, he was just a youngster for them.

However, Yue Wenhan still found it strange. Because they had prevented him from meeting Earl Ling'an many times before, and now they even rejected him again after the earl passed away.

He worked in the Dali Temple and was an investigation expert. For this kind of thing, he also could react quickly. Apparently, the Ji Family just didn't want him to see Earl Ling'an. But he couldn't figure out the reason.

It would be so absurd if Earl Ling'an died because Yue Wenhan wanted to see him for the last time.

This didn't make any sense, and it was impossible! Yue Wenhan dropped this idea immediately. He would never consider that Ji Yongming was actually killed by the Crown Prince long ago. Nor would he think that the Crown Prince covered Ji Yongming and Ji Hanyue's deaths up to hide his own crimes.

"My brother had been a great hero for his entire life, and he was so unwilling to end up like this. He often told us that he didn't want other people to see him so sick and haggard if he passed away. Mr. Yue, I hope you can respect the wish of the deceased. This is his last wish!" Ji Yongming said while wiping his tears.
