Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny novel Chapter 2928

Chapter 2928: Chapter 2929: Ancestral Hall

Suddenly.

A shout was heard from outside the house.

"Second Lord is here!"

With this announcement, the atmosphere in the mourning hall changed.

The people who were originally kneeling crookedly immediately straightened up and knelt properly.

Even Wu Qiao Jun, who was already falling asleep, quickly perked up, squeezed her eyes forcefully to make them redden, and discreetly tugged at her son kneeling beside her.

Although Wu Niantang was young and ignorant, he understood his mother’s intentions and hurriedly straightened his posture, trying hard to appear mournful on his childish face.

At this moment, a tall and imposing man marched into the mourning hall.

Upon seeing him, everyone in and outside the hall turned serious.

This wasn’t just because he was the Wu Family’s Second Lord, the deceased Family Head Wu Shaoyong’s only half-brother.

More importantly, it was because of the power he held.

It’s known that the Wu Family is vast with astonishing wealth, and besides the direct lineage of the Family Head, he had the greatest financial power.

Especially now, with Family Head Wu Shaoyong’s mysterious death, he became the most powerful in the Wu Family.

In this solemn atmosphere, Wu Shaobei respectfully offered three sticks of incense in front of the memorial before casually saying.

"Nian Yin hasn’t returned yet?"

Upon hearing this, many people’s expressions changed.

"Second Lord, the young master hasn’t returned yet!" An old steward respectfully stepped forward and said.

"Oh? He should have returned by now given his location. Could something have delayed him on the way?" Wu Shaobei said indifferently.

Now no one dared to respond.

The old steward involuntarily cast his eyes toward Wu Qiao Jun in the distance.

Her complexion changed instantly, and then she lowered her head deeply, pretending to sob as if she hadn’t heard any of this.

But even if she didn’t want to speak, Wu Shaobei didn’t intend to let her go.

He walked slowly to Wu Qiao Jun, looked down at her and said, "Sister-in-law, do you know what’s going on?"

Wu Qiao Jun trembled all over before she raised her head, forcing herself to remain calm, "Second Lord, you’re joking. I’m just a woman who focuses on home and raising children. How would I know about outside affairs?"

Wu Shaobei looked at her deeply.

Wu Qiao Jun was very tense and dared not make eye contact, trying her best to hold herself together.

After a moment, Wu Shaobei nodded knowingly.

"You’re right, maybe I was overthinking!"

Then he turned his gaze to Wu Niantang nearby.

"Are you tired, Niantang?"

Wu Niantang shook his head, "Second Uncle, I’m not tired. I just want to stay here with my dad!"

"Good child, you’re very filial!"

Wu Shaobei smiled and ruffled Wu Niantang’s hair before turning to leave.

But nobody noticed that the moment he left the mourning hall, the smile on his face vanished instantly.

"Second Lord, do we need to act?" A follower asked in a low voice.

"Act? Act how?"

"Anyone can see that Wu Qiao Jun is the biggest suspect in this matter, including the Family Head’s death and the assassination of the young master. So shouldn’t we...?"

The follower was clearly Wu Shaobei’s confidant, speaking unreservedly and even directly naming Wu Qiao Jun.
