C5215 Greed

0"Rise, and rest in peace!"    

    

Following a loud shout, a few Xiahou disciples stepped forward and lifted the coffin, intending to transport it into the earth.    

    

The sorrowful music around them made it seem even more sorrowful.    

    

However, right at this moment.    

    

An eccentric voice suddenly sounded.    

    

"Lord Marquis didn't take out the things he left behind. Why are you in such a hurry to bury them?"    

    

Everyone looked over and saw an old man being supported by several attendants as he slowly walked out.    

    

This old man was fat and had a thick belt around his waist. There were dozens of exquisite gems on it, shining with jewels and giving off a rich and imposing aura.    

    

The surroundings immediately quieted down. Many Xiahou clansmen did not speak.    

    

"Grand Elder, are you in such a hurry to ask for something? Can't we wait until my husband is buried? " Madame Xiahou replied coldly.    

    

"Hehe."    

    

The old man in front of him opened his mouth wide. Instantly, all the wrinkles on his face started to wrinkle, making him look rather ferocious.    

    

"If you were to be buried, what would you do if you deny it? According to the clan rules, all of Lord Marquis's inheritance should be handed over to our clan to be unified and distributed. But until now, you have yet to hand over your inheritance. This old man is only asking on behalf of the other clansmen, where exactly did the estate go?"    

    

The old man's face was full of malevolence, and he sneered in detail.    

    

He was Xiahou Yan, the grand elder of the Xiahou Family.    

    

In the Xiahou family, besides Xiahou Li, the marquis, the supreme elder before him held the highest position.    

    

When Xiahou Li had still been alive, he had been fine. But now, as soon as Xiahou Li died, these people had jumped out one after another.    

    

"Where did the clan rules come from? How come I don't know? When my husband had been around, he had been the one to guide and help the entire clan. If not for my husband, the Xiahou family would still be curled up in a small place, and it would still be a third-rate family! "    

    

Madame Xiahou raised her eyebrows and shouted sternly.    

    

She was a gentle wife herself, but when faced with the aggressiveness of her kin, Madame Xiahou gradually became angry.    

    

"How dare you!"    

    

Xiahou Yan suddenly shouted loudly, "The fact that our Xiahou family is able to achieve what we have today is the result of the joint efforts of all the Xiahou family members. Although Lord Marquis has a high position and outstanding achievements, today, however, our Xiahou Family... How can it be all Lord Marquis's credit? You are just an outsider's wife. How can you understand the rules of our Xiahou family? "    

    

An elder also stepped forward and advised," Yes, Madam. You'd better take out Lord Marquis's inheritance as soon as possible. These things are most suitable for us to keep in our hands. These resources are necessary to restore the glory of our Xiahou Family. "    

    

" Hehe, Mrs Zhang! Don't tell me you want to take Lord Marquis's inheritance for yourself and secretly take it away? " Someone mocked.    

    

The people who spoke were all elders and experts of the Xiahou family.    

    

For a moment, no one refuted them. Instead, countless greedy gazes were cast on Madame Xiahou.    

    

The cold wind was bone-piercing. Flying snow drifted down.    

    

Xiahou Fu was so angry that he trembled all over.    

    

She looked at these people in front of her, and a sad smile suddenly appeared on her face.    

    

"My husband's things will naturally follow him and leave. None of you will be able to obtain them."    

    

Hearing these words, many people immediately woke up.    

    

At this time, when they looked at the coffin again, they suddenly realized that the coffin had actually crushed the solid floor tiles. There must be another world inside.    

    

"My husband is a marquis, and he has even performed meritorious deeds. He has the title of Heroic Hero that has been awarded by the Imperial Court! Anyone who insults his coffin will be sentenced to exile for a serious crime. I want to see who dares to touch him! "    

    

Madame Xiahou shouted loudly in all directions.    

    

"Bastard!"    

    

"Who gave you the courage to deal with Lord Marquis's inheritance on your own!"    

    

Many elders stamped their feet in anger. They looked at the coffin, their eyes red.    

    

Suddenly, Grand Elder Xiahou Yan took a step forward and actually flew towards the coffin.    

    

"You dare!" Madame Xiahou stepped forward to stop him.    

    

However, Xiahou Yan's strength was outstanding. He suddenly pushed Madame Xiahou away.    

    

He strode forward with vigorous strides and laughed loudly. "We are all of the same clan. If Lord Marquis is alive, he will be willing to share it with us."    

    

With Xiahou Yan taking the lead, how could the others remain calm?    

    

For a moment, the elders and the branch family Family Head all participated in the snatching.
