Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside-Chapter 1266 - 1268: Who in the Family Has Died?

Rental Courtyard

As soon as Xiaoxiao and the others reached the doorway, they were surrounded by Dahuang and Xiaobai.

It had been a few months, and Dahuang and Xiaobai were incredibly delighted to see Xiaoxiao again, barking with joy and wagging their tails.

Xiaoxiao also squatted down, affectionately interacting with them, almost giving them kisses.

Seeing this, Wang Xiangxiang teased with a smile, "You really have a way with everyone."

"Of course!" Xiaoxiao replied without modesty, though she was actually thinking to herself that apart from Dahuang and Xiaobai, she still preferred to keep her distance from other animals. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

After spending some affectionate moments with Dahuang and Xiaobai, Xiaoxiao stood up, "Let’s go inside."

The group went inside and looked at the latest flower designs. Xiaoxiao was amazed. She hadn’t expected that in the few months she was away, they had come up with so many new designs. These patterns were mostly embroidery, not inferior to modern ones.

It seemed that even without her, they could still do very well. This workshop could certainly be entrusted to Yang Qiu in the future.

They didn’t stay long at the workshop and soon returned. On the way back, Wang Xiangxiang couldn’t help but ask, "Xiaoxiao, the Village Chief passed away yesterday, why hasn’t there been any news yet?"

Xiaoxiao smiled, "It’s not going to be that fast. But based on what we just did, I guess it won’t be long now. This isn’t something that can be rushed."

"That’s true."

Before they even reached the gate of the Yang Family, they saw a carriage parked at the entrance. As they got closer, Chu Lian frowned. Wasn’t this his family’s carriage?

The house servant saw their young master and young mistress returning and hurried forward, "Young master, young mistress."

Chu Lian asked, "Why are you here?"

"Young master, the master asked you to return." The house servant didn’t say much more because he was only here to deliver a message and was unaware of the other matters.

Chu Lian frowned. His family asking him to return must mean something was up. He turned to Wang Xiangxiang and reassured her, "My dear, you stay here while I go back to check."

"Husband, let me go back with you." Wang Xiangxiang, knowing something must have happened at home, couldn’t stay calm here as a member of the Chu Family.

Seeing Wang Xiangxiang’s determined eyes, Chu Lian thought it over and finally softened, "Alright then, let’s go back together."

What Chu Lian didn’t expect was that bringing Xiangxiang back this time would reveal a big secret he had been keeping from her all along.

Seeing Chu Lian and Wang Xiangxiang ready to leave, Xiaoxiao hurried inside and brought out some hazelnuts they had picked earlier and handed them to Chu Lian, "Take this with you, it’s good for the baby."

Chu Lian accepted the bag of hazelnuts, placed it on the carriage, and then helped Wang Xiangxiang onto it.

Seeing them about to leave, Yang Ming’s mother came to the door holding the child.

From the carriage, Wang Xiangxiang looked at Xiaoxiao and Yang Ming’s mother and said, "Mother, Xiaoxiao, we’re leaving now. We won’t say goodbye to Father and the others."

"Okay, go ahead. Once they return, I’ll let them know."

"Okay."

And so, Chu Lian and Wang Xiangxiang returned to the Chu Mansion in Shibao Town. Upon arrival at the mansion gate, they were shocked by the scene before them.

White mourning decorations were hung clearly on the big gate of the mansion. Inside, everything was adorned in white, and the house servants and maids were all dressed in mourning clothes.

Who in the family had died?
