Xi Mingcheng's funeral was not held in the funeral parlor, but was directly arranged in Xi's family. This is a very rare behavior in big cities. If a patient dies in a hospital in a rural or second or third tier city, he can take his body home, keep a spirit and call a group of Taoist nuns and monks to chant scriptures. In big cities, especially international cities, this custom has long gone, When a person dies, at most you can get along with the dead relatives in the comfort room of the hospital for a while, and then there will be a special person sent to the corpse collection room. After you have set the funeral home and determined the date of the funeral, you can pick up the body. If you can't, you have to pick up the body from the funeral home.

For the victims of murder like Xi Mingcheng, it's usually right to inform their families after the forensic autopsy and ask their families to inform the people in the funeral home to pick them up. But the Xi family is not an ordinary family. They have been officials for generations. They are dignitaries in politics. It's too easy to open a back door. Just make a few phone calls. Who dares say no.

I think I'm an old man. I'm very sad when my grandson died. I can't bear the rough hands and feet of the funeral staff. If I want to come by myself, I can send my grandson on the road. It's miserable enough for the white haired man to send the black haired man. If I don't give up this kind of human feelings, I can't say it. The Xi family is full of people in the officialdom, There are at least a dozen officials, big and small, who may have developed and taken off in the future. Now to give favor is to pave the way for himself in the future. Therefore, Xi Mingcheng's body was taken home without any hindrance.

Xi Zhongyuan, Xi Mingcheng's father, went to two morticians to take care of his son's remains. Lu Meiling picked the coffin herself and used private money. From beginning to end, all the people in the second room were busy. Others were ordered by Xi Shiyi not to interfere. Anyone who interfered would go home. Since the parents all said that, who dares to make a mistake, We can only bypass the people in the second room.

Lu Meiling is not less aggressive about it, but it's useless. Even if she hanges herself in front of Xi Shiyi, it won't help. If she gets a word, she'll send her back to her mother's home. It's all said to this point. She doesn't have the courage to stir up trouble. She wants to sew her mouth on.

The living room of Xi's family has been emptied. After Xi Mingcheng's remains have been cleaned up, he is carried into the coffin to lie down. He is dressed in a suit, with big back and head. The bruises on his face are covered as if they were gone by the skillful hands of the mortician. His face looks very peaceful.

The coffin was bought in western style. It was made of fine nanmu and painted on the piano. It looked like a gorgeous jewelry box. Without the lid on, the coffin was placed directly above the living room and close to the wall. On the wall, there were his portrait, 18 wreaths on each side, lined up. The mourning banners were also hung high. Gold, silver and tin foils piled up into a hill, and several servants kept stacking tin foils, Not far away, there are paper villas, maids, drivers, luxury cars and Ming coins. They are quite decent. It seems that Lu Meiling has lost money.

Lu Meiling stood in the middle of the living room and looked at the wreaths. None of them were sent by others, but they were all ordered by her. Thinking of this, her eyes turned red, and she fell down on the coffin and burst into tears.

When Xi Zhongyuan heard this, he just wanted to slap and cry. He knew what it was to cry for. If she hadn't spoiled her son, would his son be today? All the ancestors of the Xi family had lost their faces. He recruited two servants from the second room and pulled Lu Meiling back to her room.

"Second master, there's a guest coming!" A servant stumbled over.

"Who's here?"
