At ten o'clock in the morning, the worship ceremony began.

The members of the Mu family headed by Mu Zhenhua were all dressed in plain white filial piety and stood on both sides of the mourning hall.

On the left are the immediate clan members, with Mu Zhenhua at the front, followed by Mu Qianxue, Mu Xueyi and Mu Yuxuan.

On the right is the collateral clan of the Mu family. Because of the large number of people, only some important representatives were selected, and all other clansmen knelt by the side of the mourning hall.

"There are guests!"

"The owner of the Li family, Mr. Li, is here with his eldest son, Mr. Li!"

Mr. Li walked in front, Li Ziang followed behind, and a few other clansmen behind.

It can be said that the Li family's visit to pay homage to Mr. Mu has given the Mu family enough face.

Generally speaking, Mr. Li doesn't need to come forward in person, he can appoint the eldest son Li Ziang as a full representative.

And he came to pay homage in person, either because he has a very strong relationship with the Mu family, or there are other reasons.

In short, this situation is relatively rare.

Mu Zhenhua and Mu Qianxue also attached great importance to it, and knew of Mr. Li's intentions.

As the host of the funeral, Lao Yuan, the housekeeper, handed four sticks of incense to Mr. Li himself.

"Brother, I'm here to see you off." Mr. Li said with a sad face, holding incense in both hands.

"A bow!"

"Bow again!"

"Three bows!"

"Family Thanks!"

As the voice of the butler Lao Yuan fell, Mu Zhenhua, Mu Qianxue and others bowed and thanked Mr. Li and the others.

Old Master Li also hurried forward, shaking hands with Mu Zhenhua first, "Second Young Master, Miss Qianxue, please forgive me!"

With a sense of gratitude, Mu Zhenhua said softly, "I didn't expect that Mr. Li would come here in person. The Mu family was flattered."

Mr. Li shook his head with a wry smile, "Patriarch Mu is a few years older than me, and he has always been the elder brother I admire in my heart."

"Unfortunately, he will take the first step now, how can I sit still! I have to come here to see my brother off."

"Patriarch Li has a heart." Mu Zhenhua thanked softly.

Mu Qianxue nodded slightly to express her opinion, "The Mu family will always remember Patriarch Li's affection."

"Patriarch Li, please take Mr. Li and others to the rest area to drink tea and sit down, and treat you well later."

Mr. Li was actually waiting for Mu Qianxue's words, remembering that his affection for the Mu family was not in vain.

"Okay, okay, you don't need to entertain me deliberately." Mr. Li said politely, and took the clansman to the purpose-built pergola to rest.

Wang Yan was in charge of entertaining the guests who came to worship here, and took a short rest.

"There are guests!"

"The Zhang family, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang are here!"

"The Liu family, the sixth son is here!"

The old masters of the Zhang family and the Liu family did not attend the scene in person, and each sent their own sons as plenipotentiary representatives, which was also a normal operation.

Mu Zhenhua and Mu Qianxue just said some polite words, and asked them to go to the side of the pergola to rest.

Immediately afterwards, the heads of other medium-sized families, as well as small-scale families, also showed up.

They belong to the five wealthy families, so the head of the family doesn't need to come here in person.

But for these small and medium-sized families, the patriarchs must come to worship in person, otherwise they will not give the Mu family face and cause trouble.

In addition, some influential local figures were also present and came to worship.

It's just that they didn't stay too long on the grounds that they were busy with business.

Putting down the gift money, after the worship was completed, he left Mu's house.

At this time, only the wealthy Xue family remained.

Everyone also secretly speculated whether the Xue family would send someone to worship.

I don't know if the Mu family took the initiative to post funeral posts for the Xue family.

If there is no delivery, it is completely reasonable for the Xue family not to come.

But if the Xue family doesn't come after a funeral post is sent, it's the Xue family's fault.

The specific situation is temporarily unknown, and we can only wait and see.

It's almost eleven o'clock in a moment. Generally speaking, dinner must be served at 11:30, and we can't go on like this forever.

"The Xue family looks like they don't intend to come."

Mu Zhenhua whispered, "It's fine if you don't come, out of sight and out of mind."

Mu Qianxue was expressionless, "Wait another 10 minutes, I think Xue's family will come."

"It's not the time yet. If we end now, when the Xue family comes, they will make use of the problem and make us embarrass ourselves."

Mu Zhenhua nodded, feeling that what Qianxue said made sense.

The worship ceremony starts at ten o'clock and ends before eleven fifteen.

As long as the Xue family sent someone over during this time period, it would not be considered a delay.

It's just that, generally speaking, people are rushing forward, and there is no intentional delay.

It started at 10 o'clock, and by 30:[-], the personnel basically came almost.

This time, Mr. Mu left in a hurry, and they made hasty preparations. The funeral was held right away as soon as the funeral stickers were issued in the morning, which required time for the major families to prepare.

But it's eleven o'clock now, and everyone who should have come has come.

The Xue family didn't show up for a long time. It was obvious that they had ulterior motives, just to make the Mu family mistakenly think that they would not come and end the worship ceremony early.

It was over at [-]:[-], and at [-]:[-], brothers Xue Cheng and Xue Jian came without any haste.

"There are guests!"

"The eldest and second sons of the Xue family are here!"

Mu Zhenhua snorted secretly, "It's really a bit of a catch! If it ended just now, it really gave them a chance to make use of it!"

Mu Qianxue remained expressionless, "Dad, don't worry about their small thoughts, let's just wait and see what happens."

Brothers Xue Cheng and Xue Jian finished bowing according to the procedure.

Mu Zhenhua and Mu Qianxue also bowed and thanked each other accordingly, regardless of their willingness or not, etiquette cannot be broken.

"Oh, I really didn't expect Mr. Mu to leave so suddenly. Second Young Master Mu, Miss Mu, please express my condolences!"

Xue Cheng took a step forward, but didn't shake hands with Mu Zhenhua, his eyes looked like a smile but not a smile.

"Thank you." Mu Zhenhua responded calmly, without showing any politeness.

Xue Cheng came over to make sarcastic remarks, but Mu Zhenhua couldn't think of anything to say back, so he could only say thank you and finish the job.

Mu Qianxue is not easy to mess with!

Looking at Xue Cheng expressionlessly, he said, "Young Master Mu and Second Young Master came here at this time, it must be because of busy trivial matters. It's really not easy to take time out of your busy schedule to come to Mu's house to pay homage. ah."

Taunting the two without a trace, people from the other three wealthy families have come over, your Xue family is really a "busy man"!

How could Xue Cheng not be able to hear the implied sarcasm, but in this kind of situation, if anyone pulls his face down and speaks, he will be at a disadvantage and be ridiculed.

"Ms. Mu was joking. I received the funeral post from Mu's family this morning, and everyone in my Xue family was shocked."

"The old man is so sad that he is not even in the mood to eat breakfast."

"Originally, I planned to come here to pay respects in person and bid farewell to Mr. Mu, but I didn't want to faint from grief."

"We two brothers have been busy for a long time, so we came here in a hurry."

Xue Cheng explained properly, took the initiative in his own hands, and then said mockingly: "Old Master Mu passed away suddenly, which is a big blow to the Mu family!"

"Why didn't you see Mr. Mu? Didn't he announce to the public two days ago that Mr. Mu has passed on the title of Patriarch to him?"

"Accordingly speaking...in today's occasion, Mr. Mu should be in the lead! Why...is the second young master taking the lead?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Mu Zhenhua and Mu Qianxue changed slightly.

The guests who were resting under the pergola at the back also cheered up one after another.

Xue Cheng deliberately provoked Mu Zhenhua and Mu Qianxue to embarrass them in public, making them unable to get off the stage.

What happened to Mu Zhenhua?

In fact, everyone knows it well, even if they don't know the inside story, they can probably guess a thing or two.

But if you say it directly, you will embarrass the Mu family in front of many outsiders. After all, it is a scandal!

Especially at the funeral of Mr. Mu, the deceased will be humiliated!

If he didn't give an explanation, he would be defeated in front of Xue Cheng and lost in momentum.

The current situation is tantamount to Xue Cheng showing his sword in front of the Mu family in public, to see if the Mu family dares to accept the move.

Its intentions are very sinister and vicious...
