Master Xingyi was extremely angry at this moment. He was now very certain that Xiang You's death was definitely linked to Xiang Shang and might even be due to Xiang Shang's secret actions. Otherwise, why would Xiang You suddenly die?
Li Chenggong said at this moment, "How about we inspect the body? See how Brother Xiang actually passed away, shall we?"
Xiang Shang's wife suddenly rushed to the doorway of the main room, "Bang!" She collapsed to her knees, crying bitterly, "Father! Look at those who were once close to you, what are they really thinking? You've already passed away, yet they want to disturb you! This is simply desecrating you! They just don't want you to rest in peace! Is your spirit in the heavens watching? These people are simply too despicable! But they are numerous and powerful, and we're afraid we can't stop them!"
She spoke without a shred of guilt, her tears streaming, giving the impression that she was greatly wronged.
To prevent Li Chenggong and the others from inspecting the body, she was sacrificing her dignity, even though she was actually already in her forties.
But in the current situation, her kneeling and crying instead made people view her in a new light.
She was a daughter-in-law of the Xiang Family, not a daughter, and her act of kneeling and mourning during Xiang You's passing showed she was truly saddened by her father-in-law's death.
She seemed to achieve both sympathy from others and her own objectives, a double victory indeed.
Xiang Shang said coldly, "If any of you have a conscience, leave immediately and don't delay my father's rest any longer. Otherwise, even my father's spirit in heaven will be disturbed by you! How can you bear it?"
Now, many people began to look at Li Chenggong and the others with changed eyes, thinking they were indeed causing trouble. Otherwise, who would be so rowdy after someone's passing, disturbing their rest like this?
However, at that moment, a girl of about thirteen or fourteen walked over.
Her gaze towards Xiang Shang and the others carried fear, and her footsteps were light, as if afraid of disturbing others.
Her face bore traces of tears, clearly she had been crying earlier.
Li Chenggong saw this little girl and immediately said, "Xiao Qi, come over to Grandpa."
The girl addressed as Xiao Qi nodded slightly and came to Li Chenggong's side, while Li Chenggong's daughter, Niuniu, immediately took her hand.
Clearly, the two little girls had known each other for a long time and had a good relationship.
This little girl was Xiang You's granddaughter, his eldest son's only child, Xiang Feiqi.
Xiang Feiqi said, "Grandpa Li, Grandpa Shui, how did my grandpa suddenly…"
As she spoke, she began to cry again.
"Alas..."
Master Xingyi sighed and said, "Birth, death, wealth, and honor are determined by destiny. Nobody can truly defy fate. Perhaps, this is fate!"
Xiang Feiqi heard what Master Xingyi said and nodded, half understanding, yet her crying became more intense. However, she did not cry loudly, only sobbing quietly, as if afraid of disturbing others.
She did not possess any air of a young lady from a prominent family. Instead, she appeared more like a maid.
Every action was careful, as if afraid of affecting others.
Just then, a voice came, "Xingyi, you're wrong. What do you mean by birth, death, wealth, and destiny? I tell you, human determination can conquer fate!"
Xiang Shang heard these words and immediately shouted, "Where are you popping out from, you little punk? How dare you utter such blasphemous words? Do you know you're desecrating the predecessors with your words?
Master Xingyi is a very famous master in Hongkong. Although what he is doing now isn't quite ethical, I still respect him as a master! His words are still philosophical! But you dare to refute such philosophical words, where do you get your courage?!"
Xiang Shang's words placed Master Xingyi and the speaker in entirely opposing directions.
If Master Xingyi had no anger about this matter, it would suggest he was easy to bully, with anybody like A Dog or A Mao stepping on him.
But if Master Xingyi became angry, it would serve Xiang Shang's purpose, distracting Master Xingyi and the visitor in a quarrel, leaving him no energy to address his father's matters.
Everyone looked at the direction of the voice and discovered the newcomers were a couple.
The woman was dignified and kind, extremely beautiful, almost certainly human perfection.
The man, though his demeanor was reserved and looked ordinary, had eyes that seemed to contain a thousand stars, making anyone tremble with just one glance.
When Master Xingyi saw this couple, he was surprised and said, "Master, why are you here? Why didn't you inform me before coming so I could come to greet you?"
