152. Sympathy
"They all said that my brother fell into the well and drowned, but my mother was arguing with my father and died in anger, and my brother and I saw the well and bypassed it far away, how could my brother fall into the well by himself... I want to talk to the old lady, but my grandmother doesn't allow it, saying that there is a happy event in the house, and now that someone has died, the old lady is already very unhappy. The eldest lady said that her brother was drunk to death, which was disgraceful and ruined the atmosphere in the house, so she asked her brother to be wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave..."Speaking of this, Xiuxiu couldn't cry anymore.

encountered this kind of thing, although the Song family did a little too much, but it is also common sense, after all, the dead people in the auspicious day are unlucky, and the master of any family will be unhappy, and he may check afterwards, but the body has already been disposed of, and he is a slave who signed a death contract, but it is just a formality, and it will be over in the end.
Sympathy is sympathy, this matter is not something she can manage, Yao Keqing asked Gui Yuan to give her ten taels of silver, "Use this silver to buy a coffin and bury your brother!"
Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment before she reacted, and immediately kowtowed to Yao Keqing, "Miss Xie, Miss Bodhisattva, in this life, the slave and maid can't help themselves, and in the next life, you will be a cow and a horse and repay Miss's great kindness!"
Yao Keqing was just a gesture, and he didn't expect her to repay him at all, Gui Yuan helped her up and stuffed the silver into her hand, "You are still so young, what relatives in the family can help you?"
Xiuxiu shook her head, "No, my brother is my only relative..."
Gui Yuan also felt a little distressed, and comforted him with kind words, "Today, the Guogong Mansion is holding a happy event, if people catch you crying, I'm afraid it's not good, it's better to bear with it, people can't be resurrected after death, and your brother also hopes that you are safe!"
Xiuxiu couldn't help but nod her head, "Thank you sister, I know! Also, sister, don't go any further, the princess's mansion is around the corner in front! The princess's mansion is very strict, and no one is allowed to approach casually on weekdays, and the guards guarding the door are also very vicious!"
Gui Yuan thanked her for the reminder and followed Yao Keqing away.
"It's really pitiful, I have no relatives to rely on at a young age! It's rare to be so pure, and I asked us which house we belonged to, saying that I wanted to repay Miss!
Orange also lost her parents when she was a child, and it was very pitiful for Xiuxiu's experience, "Yes! Compared to her, I am much luckier, not long after entering the house, I can choose to serve by the side of the young lady, unlike her, looking at her appearance, I am afraid that she will be bullied in the yard! Otherwise, why would I hide in such a remote place and cry!"
"Everyone has their own chances, maybe one day she will get the master's blue eyes, and her life will be better!"
"I'm afraid it's difficult!" Yao Keqing suddenly spoke.
The longan oranges were stunned, and they didn't know why.
"You didn't hear her say that her brother died just after he decided to marry!" Gui Yuan Juzi nodded, but is there a relationship between the two?
"The person who never came near the well fell into the well and died, and the person who died just decided to have a family affair!" Yao Keqing saw that the two girls looked puzzled, so he had to continue to explain, "This shows that this person is likely to have been killed, and it may have something to do with the family affair he ordered... The slaves who died in the mansion should be rewarded with a coffin, but Mrs. Song hurriedly disposed of the body, which is the most suspicious place!"
Juzi was a straight gut, and exclaimed, "It was Mrs. Song who killed her brother!" Gui Yuan glared at her, and Juzi realized that this was in the Guogong Mansion, and the voice he had just spoken seemed to be too loud, and he immediately shrunk his neck.
"Not necessarily!" Yao Keqing shook his head, "Maybe it's her, maybe it's instigated by the people around her, maybe it's just a coincidence, who knows!"
Orange was a little uneasy, "Will Xiuxiu be in danger then?"
"Not for the time being!" Yao Keqing said, "My brother who just died and my sister who died will definitely arouse suspicion!"
Orange was a little relieved, and couldn't help asking, "What about after that?"
Yao Keqing frowned, "I don't know about this! If she doesn't get in the way of others, it's okay to think about it, who will have nothing to deal with an orphan girl! It's just that she has no relatives to rely on, and it is rare for her to get ahead! Moreover, if her brother was really killed by someone, the person who killed her brother would definitely guard against her, so as not to threaten herself!"
Orange is relieved, as long as there is no worry about her life, everything else is secondary, thinking about whether to go back and mention a few more Xiuxiu, lest she be harmed, but when she saw Yao Keqing walking away, she had to hurry up and follow.
When everyone was far away, Song Ziqing appeared, and saw her again, still calm and intelligent as always, but she was taller and taller, faintly girlish, those bright eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and all the secrets were hidden under the gaze of those eyes, Song Ziqing suppressed the throbbing in his heart and walked to the outer courtyard.
Yao Keyi was still not found until the banquet, Yao Kerong was anxious to cry, Yao Keqing also wondered where Yao Keyi went, and then the old lady sent someone to find them.
"When you go to the princess's mansion later, you must be respectful, the eldest princess is the sister of the saint today, and the saint is thick, so you can't be careless!" Miao carefully told the other four girls except Yao Keyi.
"Yes!" the four girls replied in unison!
Just now, the eldest princess suddenly sent a girl to pass the word, saying that Yao Keyi was injured and is now in the princess's mansion, but Miao was startled, thinking that Yao Keyi was in trouble, and went to the princess's mansion, and then the girl said that she had invited the imperial doctor, so that Miao didn't have to worry, Miao was relieved, it wasn't Yao Keyi who was in trouble, otherwise how could the princess send her the imperial doctor to see her!
"The courtiers knock to see the eldest princess Chitose Chitose Chitose!" Miao took the lead and bowed with the four daughters of the Yao family.
"The old lady doesn't have to be polite!" the eldest princess looked kind, and asked people to sit and watch the tea.
"The ceremony cannot be abolished, the eldest princess is the princess, and she should accept this gift!" Miao insisted on kowtowing before getting up.
The eldest princess smiled and turned her head to look at the four daughters of the Yao family, "This is the granddaughter of the old lady!"
Miao hurriedly replied, "Yes, except for Sister Yi of Xingsan, the remaining four are still here!"
"All of them are good talents!" the eldest princess praised a few words, and asked people to present the meeting gift.
The four daughters of the Yao family took it after the old lady nodded her approval, and thanked her again.
"The third lady in your mansion is really admirable, if it weren't for her, I'm afraid it would be me lying in it at this time!" the eldest princess pointed to the inner room and sighed.
