Chapter 135
Geng Xingshuang hurriedly looked at the person who came, and it really was Zhang Lai.

"Second brother, it's Zhang Lai. Seeing that he is in such a hurry, is something wrong?"

Geng Xingshuang said hurriedly.

Geng Shuhuai squinted his eyes and looked at Geng Shulou. There was only one last step left in Gengshulou. As long as he checked himself completely, he could enter the examination room with the examination basket.

For Zhang Lai's shout, Geng Shulou didn't know whether he didn't hear it, or he didn't want to pay attention at the critical moment. He didn't turn his head, and his movements were as smooth as before.

"All right……"

"Eldest young master, the second master has gone! The second master has passed away! You should go back quickly!"

If the guard's "Okay" sounded like a Buddhist language to Geng Shulou, then Zhang Lai's sound was like a death knell.

Geng Xingshuang was sure that Geng Shulou heard it. No matter how calm he was, it would be difficult for him to maintain a true inner peace when he heard the news of his father's sudden death.

He paused for a moment, his head and neck moved slightly, as if he wanted to turn his head to look at Zhang Lai, but he quickly recovered and walked into the examination room without looking back.

"Hey! That's your servant, right? He said that the second master in your mansion has passed away? Is your father dead?"

Just when Geng Shulou was about to step into the examination room, his arm was grabbed by the guards beside him.

Geng Shulou's complexion changed slightly, and his upper and lower teeth clenched tightly.

Just a little bit, really just a little bit.

You can't come a little late, even a few breaths.

"Hey, go quickly. If you fail the exam this time, it will be the same if you take the exam three years later. You are still young, so this time is not bad."

The officer who held him seemed to have reacted. Geng Shulou's turning of his head meant something. His face became gentler and he comforted him.

Geng Shulou glanced at the guard, nodded, and said in a cold tone, "Yes."

Then he left the exam room with the exam basket and didn't look back.

Although Geng Shuhuai, Geng Xingshuang and other people in the uncle's house had heard clearly what Zhang Lai was yelling, they were shocked and astonished, they couldn't believe it, but no one went to help call Geng Shulou.

Geng Shulou entered the examination room, and it was his luck to successfully participate in this autumn examination, and it was his fate to fail to participate.

They can only watch, not get involved.

"Second uncle really passed away? How could it be? I haven't heard of him being seriously ill before?"

Geng Xingchen was shocked.

Geng Xingshuang shook his head, "Let's go back quickly, we'll know when we go back."

Geng Shuhuai led a group of younger siblings to his carriage. Before getting into the carriage, Geng Xingshuang glanced back. Yang Qingmo had already checked and was walking in with the test basket. He seemed to notice her gaze. He turned his head Glancing at her, he nodded to her.

Geng Xingshuang wanted to smile at him, but suddenly thought that Geng Cheng was dead, anyway, he was also his second uncle, it seemed inappropriate to laugh at this time, and the smile he was about to show froze.

Yang Qingmo seemed to see her predicament, shook her head helplessly, turned and entered the examination room.

Geng Xingshuang suddenly felt a chill on her back, she turned her head to look, and just in time saw Geng Shu upstairs in a carriage next to him, and Zhang Lai, who came to report the news, timidly followed behind him.

The person driving the carriage for Geng Shulou was his servant Fang Zhu, and the other servant, Zizhu, was glaring at Zhang Lai fiercely at the moment.

Zhang Lai became more and more timid.

After getting into the car, Geng Xingshuang lifted the curtain and took a look outside. Geng Shuhuai's carriage had already left one step ahead of them, but Zhang Lai was left behind.Geng Xingchen also came over to take a look, "What's wrong with Zhang Lai? What is he afraid of?"

Geng Xingshuang didn't answer, Geng Shuhuai, who was guarding on horseback next to the carriage, flicked his whip lightly, and replied: "I'm afraid he was being used by someone."

"Ah?" Geng Xingchen looked blank.

Geng Shuji's expression on Geng Shuyin's face was exactly the same as Geng Xingchen's.

Only Geng Shumin, with the corners of his mouth tightly pursed and his brows furrowed, at a young age, when he suddenly heard the news of his father's sudden death, there was no sadness in his eyes, only trouble that didn't fit his age.

"Hurry up and go back! If Geng Shulou arrives earlier than us, it will be another crime!"

As Geng Shulou spoke, he sped up the horse's speed a little. Of course, it is not allowed to gallop on the streets of the city, but the speed of the carriage was also not fast, and they soon caught up with Geng Shulou's carriage.

"Sixth sister, Zhang Lai is a bit pitiful, why don't we take him back home?"

Geng Shuji looked at Zhang Lai who was panting and running behind the carriage, he had run to report the news before, and now he had to run back after such a long journey, he couldn't help but feel compassion.

Geng Xingchen put down the car curtain and sighed: "If we take him back together, he will be even more pitiful."

"Sixth sister, we don't understand what you and second brother said just now. It's cloudy. There is still time. Tell me quickly, otherwise we don't know anything, and we don't know anything. If we make a mistake when we go back If you say something wrong, you will definitely be punished by grandma, and grandma's mood now... I can imagine."

Geng Xingchen looked at his two younger brothers with some helplessness, "I don't have a good mind, and you two don't have a good mind either."

Geng Shuyin, Geng Shuji: ...we are still young.

Geng Xingshuang didn't feel sad at all, and there was at least three quarters of an hour before returning home, so she glanced at Geng Shumin.

"Sixth sister, don't worry, I didn't ride in big brother's carriage just now, and I won't tell anyone what I heard today."

Geng Xingshuang nodded, "If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to my second brother and me, as well as your seventh sister, third brother and fourth brother. We will try our best to help."

Although he didn't know why, Geng Xingchen and Geng Shuyin still nodded cooperatively, "Yes, yes, just look for us."

Geng Shumin showed a shallow smile, "I will remember."

Next, Geng Xingshuang told Geng Xingchen and the others what she could think of from hearing Zhang's report to now.

"Second Uncle is not good at walking, he can eat and sleep, recently, he didn't even come to the doctor, right?" She asked first.

Geng Xingchen and the others nodded quickly.

"So why do you think the second uncle passed away suddenly?"

Geng Xingshuang asked again.

Geng Xingchen frowned, "Sudden illness?"

Geng Shuji guessed, "Falled off the bed?"

Geng Shuyin speculated, "Self-extinction?"

"What you said is possible, but no matter what the reason is, when we left the mansion this morning, there was nothing wrong with it. If there was, it would be impossible for the elder brother to come to the examination room, so the second uncle went in a hurry, not only in a hurry, And the timing is too coincidental!"

Speaking of this, Geng Xingshuang couldn't help but sighed deeply in his heart. This matter has nothing to do with their eldest family, but she knows it, the second brother knows it, and her parents know it too, but what will happen to the other people in the house? Thinking about it, especially the grandfather, uncle and wife who still have the second bedroom, and the Geng Shulou, who just stepped into the Qiuwei examination room because of Geng Cheng's sudden death, what would he think in his heart? It counted on their big house.

Therefore, no matter what, they have to figure out the cause of Geng Cheng's death, and they cannot bear the blame.
