At night, the second door was locked, and there was a knock on the door. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Dongmei hurried out and asked, "Who is it?"

There was a humane outside the door: "I am the chief steward of the Qin clan, I heard that one of you has passed away, come and take a look." ”

Dongmei couldn't make up her mind, and looked back at Qin E.

Qin E stood on the steps, expressionless, and ordered, "Open the door for them." ”

Dongmei immediately opened the door bolt, and there were a total of four people outside the door, holding lanterns and pushing the door directly in, with a rather unkind attitude.

The second grandmother and the others all frowned, only Qin E seemed to have expected it, and her face was calm.

Daguan glanced left and right at the courtyard in advance, and raised the lantern to look at Qin E and the others.

"Who of you died?"

Dongmei stood back to Qin E's side and replied, "It's my wife who died of illness." ”

Someone in the crowd whispered, "It's really unlucky." ”

Dongmei Liu's eyebrows were upside down and she was about to attack, but she was stopped by Qin E.

"What is the big shopkeeper going to do?"

The big shopkeeper glanced up at Qin E, and saw that she was dressed in plain clothes, with a white cloth wrapped around her waist, and she was twelve or thirteen years old, and guessed that she was the eldest lady of the Qin Mansion.

But he didn't care, and said with his hands behind his back: "The Shen family has passed away, and the clan is sympathetic to you and doesn't know how to handle white things, so I'll wait to come over and help you." ”

After saying that, he turned around and said hello, and two men with arrogant expressions walked out.

The second mother frowned, stepped forward and said, "How can this be?

The chief steward was reprimanded by the second grandmother, and was very angry, and said stiffly: "What does the ignorant woman know, if it weren't for your pity, the clan would take care of you?" ”

After that, he flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave.

The Shen family was buried in the ancestral tomb of the Qin family, and there was no one in the capital Qin Mansion in Liaodong, and without the help of the clan, the burial could not be completed at all.

The second grandmother was so angry that her face turned red, but she didn't dare to let him go, she gritted her teeth and was ready to give up her face and give up, but she heard Qin E say: "Although the chief steward goes back to tell you, I also want to explain your three major sins to the patriarch, and let the patriarch comment on the reason!"

The people in the courtyard were all shocked, and the chief steward turned his head and said angrily: "Hugh is talking nonsense, what are our three deadly sins?"

Qin E said coldly: "My mother, the Shen family of Qinmen, is the lady of the imperial court. It is a sin for you to come to mourn without kneeling or bowing without any respect. ”

The chief steward and the others were stunned, they only remembered that the Shen family had made a mistake and was sent from the capital, and they were sluggish, but they forgot that the Shen family actually had a fate.

Seeing that their faces had changed, Qin E snorted coldly and continued: "The Qin clan has always saved the dead and helped the wounded, and the old and the weak. You speak threats, without the slightest kindness, and ruin the reputation of your clan, these are the two deadly sins!"

Qin E took a step forward, stood on the steps and looked down at them from above, and said loudly: "There is another sin, you keep claiming to be the chief steward, but you are an imposter at all, these are three deadly sins!"

This time, not only the four chief stewards, but even the second mother and Dongmei were shocked.

They never imagined that this person was a fake.

Qin E's face was like frost, and she looked at them coldly, and the scenes of the previous life returned to her eyes.

At that time, there were only the unconscious Qiu Ju and the broken leg Dongmei by her side, and the chief steward of the Qin clan bullied her for her young age, and acted recklessly in the Qin family's old mansion, not only handling the Shen family's injuries in a mess, but also casually finding a broken coffin to bring the Shen family into the collection. also took advantage of their panic to take advantage of Dongmei.

Qin E went to the clan to make a fuss, but was stopped outside the ancestral hall by someone who claimed to be the chief steward. Only then did she know that the so-called chief steward was an impostor.

Later, I learned that the impostor was a subordinate of the chief steward, and the chief steward was suspicious that the Chinese New Year's Eve was obscure when he saw the dead man, so he casually sent someone over.

They didn't know the names of the impersonators, and the chief steward sent someone to imprison them in the Qin family's old mansion on the grounds of spreading rumors.

Until someone from the capital came to take them back, there was no chance to take half a step out of the old house.

In this life, these people don't want to pretend to be tigers anymore, pretending to be ghosts and bullying them!

Qin E raised her chin and said arrogantly: "I'm going to see the patriarch now, and ask him, my mother's dignified lady, can you be so rude?" I am the eldest daughter of Qin Yun, the Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple in the capital, can you be so presumptuous in front of me?"

Qin E pressed step by step, and asked a few people speechless, and then suddenly one person said: "The eldest girl's speech is too clever, right?"

Qin E and the others all looked towards the door, only to see a sixty-year-old woman, supported by Aunt Mei and walked in, followed by three mothers-in-law.

Qin E didn't recognize her, looked at Aunt Mei suspiciously, and saw Aunt Mei nodding slightly at her, slightly relieved.

The old woman's expression was serious and very majestic, and it made people afraid to say anything when they saw it.

She looked at the four fake chief stewards, snorted coldly, and said, "Where is the chief steward?"

The four of them were submissive, no longer arrogant just now, and said, "At home." ”

The old woman snorted heavily, rather angry.

Aunt Mei shouted, "Why don't you go back soon?"

Several people hurriedly said goodbye and ran out.

Aunt Mei said to Qin E: "Qin Shaoqing's daughter, why don't you come over to meet the patriarch's wife?" Mrs. heard that Ling Zun died of illness, and the church meeting was not finished, so she rushed over. ”

It turned out that this was the patriarch's wife!

Qin E had never contacted her in her previous life and didn't know anything about her, but seeing that although she had a serious face, she helped them get rid of the four people, and in addition to her trust in Aunt Mei, she was also very grateful to her.

He went down the steps and thanked him, "Thank you, Madame, for taking care of me." ”

The patriarch's wife nodded and said, "The deceased has passed away, and you will mourn by the way." I brought three women who were familiar with funeral matters and asked them to stay and help you. ”

The three women came forward with their heads downcast, each dressed neatly and with respectful expressions.

The patriarch's wife said again: "Mrs. Qin Shaoqing died of a sudden illness, as the eldest daughter, you have to take up the burden of being in charge, and you can't mess up your proportions." After a pause, he said: "It's good that you can start a family and not be bullied by outsiders." But after all, you are a little girl who has not yet left the cabinet, and you must always remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, so as not to hurt your reputation. ”

After saying that, he let Aunt Mei help her and go back.

Qin E stood for a long time, and was summoned a few times before she came back to her senses.

"Momo, I didn't expect the patriarch's wife to be a cold-faced and hot-hearted person. ”

The second also sighed: "Thanks to her, otherwise we really don't know what to do." ”

With someone to help, everything is ready in one day. On the mourning hall, the white curtain is tall, the lantern is hanging high, Qin E and others are wearing linen and filial piety, and Shen's coffin is stopped in the middle.

Qin E spent two hundred taels of silver to buy a coffin made in the coffin shop.

Late at night, there was little silence in the mourning hall, and Qin E knelt alone in front of the spirit. I didn't sleep for a day or two nights, my spirit was tense to the extreme, and my mind was a little trance.

Qin E looked at the white in her eyes, and fell into deep helplessness and self-blame.

She was reborn, hoping that the people around her would be safe and healthy, and second, wishing that she could redress her mother's grievances.

She was in the camp, but in the end she couldn't save her mother.

"Sister. ”

Qin E followed the sound and looked, Qin Yan didn't know when she knelt beside her, and the little person was getting thinner and thinner under the wide filial piety clothes.

"Sister, is my mother really gone? What if Yan'er misses her?"

Qin E hugged her, tears wetting the clothes of the two. "Yan'er, don't be afraid, you still have a sister, and my sister will always be with you!"

Qin Yan let out and cried.

In a corner outside the mourning hall, Wu Kui stared at it for a long time, and then hid in the dark.

After a while, a carrier pigeon flapped its wings and flew away quickly.

Somewhere in the capital, a huge organization is quickly sorting information. A letterhead with a red thread wrapped around it was picked out and handed over layer by layer. Within a quarter of an hour, it was sent to Meng Jingke's study.
