"Mr. Gu!" Bai Jinxiu widened her eyes, spreading her arms to stop Mr. Gu, but was knocked down along with him.
The mourning hall instantly descended into chaos, with some pulling Mr. Gu and others helping Bai Jinxiu up.
The common people were incited to righteous indignation.
"The National Duke Mansion is too unfortunate! How can they not give the widow of the National Duke any way to live? In one day, they almost forced the deaths of two people from the National Duke Mansion! What kind of retribution is this? Is the clan not afraid of heavenly punishment?!"
"Bah! Shameless! The National Duke Mansion is having such a major funeral, and the clan doesn't send someone to help the widow and orphans. Instead, they act like bandits to seize the family property!"
