Chapter 224: I Really Can't Toss!
"Why help her?"
Xiao Jingheng watched her feed Xia Guifei an antidote, and was a little puzzled, but she still ordered someone to carry people into the carriage according to Chu Yunning's instructions.
"At first, I was uneven, I couldn't bear it, and I always felt that if I wanted to die, I had to avenge myself before dying. Chu Yunning did not hide her admiration for Xia Guifei, and at the same time sympathized with her helplessness, and repeatedly forbearance for Mrs. Xia and her younger brother.
"Among the many concubines in the harem, the one I admire the most is Xia Guifei, followed by how beautiful she is. β
Who doesn't like to look at beautiful things, so the first impression on Chu Yunning is pity.
Xiao Jingheng looked at her with a smile, and continued to ask, "What about later?"
"Later, I heard that the current Mrs. Changyang Hou snatched the marriage that originally belonged to Xia Guifei, and I accidentally learned that Changyang Hou had 50,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, if the emperor can win over Changyang Hou's loyalty, he will definitely be like a tiger!"
Chu Yunning wanted to make a deal with Xia Guifei, give Xia Guifei a way to live, and persuade Prime Minister Xia Cheng to resign.
Xia Guifei is a smart person and knows that she wants to maximize her interests for herself, and Chu Yunning has no reason to reject her at all.
Prime Minister Xia and the second lady, as well as Miss Xia San, Miss Xia Si's death was verified by Jing Zhaoyin and the servant, there was no trace of a fight, all of them died of poisoning, coupled with Xia Guifei's handwritten confession, which directly cleared Xi Xiao Jingheng's suspicions.
Xiao Jingheng suddenly said: "Yesterday, you went to the Changyang Marquis Mansion for this?"
Remember https://m in a second.
"Of course!" Chu Yunning went to Changyang Hou, and was worried that he would be rejected, what if Changyang Hou had already lost that mind?
Therefore, Chu Yunning asked for one million taels of silver under the pretext, but he didn't expect Changyang Hou to take it out without hesitation.
In addition, Xia Furong has not been favored in these years, which is enough to prove that Changyang Hou is affectionate to Xia Guifei.
That being the case, Chu Yunning plans to return to everyone and give Concubine Zuxia freedom!
"Tell me to go down, let the funeral held by Prime Minister Xia Cheng's Mansion be more solemn, and let all the civil and military officials go to mourn. β
Xiao Jingheng didn't ask any more follow-ups, and directly instructed Grandpa Mo: "I will also go to condolence later." β
"Yes, the minion will do it. β
The white lantern in the Prime Minister's Mansion was hung, and Mrs. Xia held the funeral with her sick body, obviously her husband died, but the strange thing was that she couldn't see the slightest sadness on her face, and the whole person was numb, kneeling on the futon in a white linen dress, coughing twice from time to time.
"Xia Guifei is really ruthless, she would actually poison her father, it's a big rebellion!"
"This grievance has been more than ten years, the second lady is arrogant, she has controlled the prime minister's mansion for many years, and the second lady usually attends the banquet, I think Xia Guifei has the courage, so she simply takes people to hell without doing anything, anyway, the former emperor is dead, and Xia Guifei's fate is just a dead word. β
In the past, Prime Minister Xia's protΓ©gΓ©s and colleagues came to the house to mourn, and many people wept bitterly as if they had lost their backbones.
Someone else snorted coldly: "Prime Minister Xia's death has fulfilled some people and directly divided Prime Minister Xia's forces." β
"Shh
The man was not afraid of death and said a few more words, and no one dared to obstruct it, and at this time, Changyang Hou brought Xia Furong to condole.
Xia Furong saw the four coffins, and she couldn't help but shout in anger: "Why put Xia Qingyi's coffin on the table, she is so rebellious and disobedient to her family, such a person deserves to die!"
Saying that Xia Furong asked her subordinates to dismantle Xia Qingyi's coffin, Mrs. Xia made a move, and got up with the maid's hand, with a cold face: "You dare!"
"Hmph!" Xia Furong sneered, Mrs. Xia has been weak and bullying all these years, she has long been used to being disrespectful to Mrs. Xia, because she has just lost her parents, so her anger can't be stopped at all, and she began to insult Mrs. Xia: "It's all your good daughters, doing such a vicious thing, why don't you die together! The third sister and the fourth sister are only in their teens, how can they do it!"
Mrs. Xia was angry and coughed again and again.
"I'm going to ask for justice for my father and mother today!" Xia Furong instructed the guards: "Tear down this coffin for me, she doesn't deserve to enjoy the incense of the Xia family!"
I'm going to crush her to ashes!"
"Enough!"
Changyang Hou grabbed Xia Furong and his face sank: "Today is the Xia family's funeral, don't mess around anymore." β
"Am I messing around?" Xia Furong's mood had already collapsed, and she shouted at the top of her throat regardless of it: "It's obvious that Xia Qingyi, a slut, killed my parents, what's wrong with me avenging my parents, everyone is dead, and you still help the slut speak!"
Changyang Hou endured and endured Xia Furong again and again, and suppressed his voice: "It's not too late to say anything after the funeral, you make such a big fuss in the mourning hall, it will only make the Xia family lose face, and Xia Guifei's funeral is the will of the palace." β
At the mention of this, Xia Furong's anger subsided a little, and she caught Changyang Hou: "Then I want you to promise me that after the funeral, Xia Qingyi will not be allowed to be buried in the ancestral grave of the Xia family, and she will be crushed and ashes!"
Hearing this unreasonable request, Changyang Hou's face tightened, and the old lady of Changyang Hou who came behind him was unhappy: "Xia Furong, you have to let Changyang Hou's Mansion also get involved in right and wrong, don't you?"
The new emperor has just ascended the throne, which official is not clamping his tail and being a man, for fear of being caught by the emperor.
Xia Furong is good, she actually let her son go against the emperor, and the old lady of Changyang Hou will definitely not do it.
"Mother, why don't you even forgive me?" Xia Furong trembled angrily, if her father was still alive, who would dare to talk to herself like this?
"You are already married and you are a member of the Changyang Marquis Mansion, today this is a funeral prepared by the Xia family, you shouldn't ask. Mrs. Xia's tone was light, looking at Xia Furong's face with a faint sense of provocation: "Now I am the person in charge of the Xia family, whoever I want to let enter the ancestral tomb of the Xia family can enter, if I don't allow it, a concubine, what qualifications does she have to enter the ancestral tomb of the Xia family?"
"You!" Xia Furong's eyes were red with anger, and she couldn't wait to find Mrs. Xia desperately.
Mrs. Xia said again: "Old lady, Xia Furong has been married for more than ten years and has no heirs, it stands to reason that I shouldn't mention this, but today you also saw the courage of a concubine, for the sake of your descendants of the Marquis of Changyang, I, as Xia Furong's mother-in-law, suggest that you remarry the main family and let Xia Furong retreat and give way." β
When the words fell, Xia Furong's whole body exploded, as if she didn't know Mrs. Xia, she couldn't believe that these words actually came out of Mrs. Xia's mouth.
"I'm not in good health, I want a daughter to be filial under my knees, and I ask the old lady to fulfill it. Mrs. Xia put Xia Furong to the point of embarrassment in a few words.
The old lady of Changyang Hou had already had this thought, but she had been thinking about Prime Minister Xia's status in the court before, and she had been holding back.
Now that Mrs. Xia is threatening each other with filial piety, the people of the Changyang Hou Mansion have no choice but to go down the steps.
