“…… According to the records in the register, the third young lady Yang passed away with the third young master, and the difference between the two months was less than two months. The cause of death of the third young master was written in great detail www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion, but the cause of death of the third young lady was written quite vaguely, only saying that the grief was excessive and the depression became a disease.

When I inspected the cemetery, I saw that the inside of the open coffin was pitch black, and I asked the foreman, saying that it was because of the fumigation of the corpse, and the inner layer of the coffin would change color. The shorter years are dark red or dark yellow, and the older ones are black.

The empty coffin was very clean, and the colors of the clothes accompanying the funeral were still very bright. I didn't pay attention to the bones when they fell out of the coffin, and before they had time to fumigate them to discolor.

After reading the list, I thought about it carefully, from the death of the third young lady to the accident in the Guogong Mansion, there were at least two years, and no one dared to go to the cemetery to rob the tomb during this period. The bones had been in the coffin for two years, and it was impossible for them to have no corpse at all.

Also, why are the bones of the others all there, but there is no third young lady?"

Hearing this, Mrs. An already understood what Hongyu was going to say, and her eyes darkened, "Do you suspect that the Yang family is not dead?"

Hongyu didn't answer this positively, "The third young lady will die of depression, doesn't the lady think this matter is strange?"

"It's a bit strange. Mrs. An nodded.

The government has always acted above board, and will never forcibly facilitate a marriage if one party is unwilling. When the Yang family was selected, she must have been told in person that she married into the Guogong Mansion for the third young master.

Not only does she know what kind of outcome she will face after she marries, but she should still go down to this family business, which shows that she is not trying to be the third young master, and she is ready to be widowed. So when the third young master passed away, even if she was sad, she couldn't be sad, why was she too sad and became ill?

A person who has been sick in bed all the year round and is about to run out of oil and lamp, he is afraid that he is not much better, and it is not enough for Yang to fall in love with him at first sight, and even die with him, right?

Either the little girl had a last resort in the marriage and committed suicide because she couldn't survive in the Guogong Mansion; or she failed to cure the illness of the third young master, so that people were angry and died; or, as Hongyu thought, this person did not die at all, but because of some ulterior motive, she voluntarily or was forced to fake her death and get out of her shell from the Golden Cicada of the Guogong Mansion.

No matter how bright and upright the family is, it is inevitable that there will be dirt inside, otherwise her poor son will not ......

"Ma'am. Hongyu called out, interrupting her distant thoughts, "I have a bold assumption, if the third young lady did not die back then, but was pregnant, the child she gave birth to would be just eleven or twelve years old this year. ”

Mrs. An nodded with a deep smile on her face, "If what the letter says is true, according to the situation we currently have, only this assumption is the most reasonable." But there is one question, since the Yang family is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Xie family, why did he fake his death?"

"There must be some twists and turns here that we can't guess. Hongyu's expression was a little excited, and her eyes sparkled, "Madam, why don't I go to Fengzhou, find the one mentioned in the letter, and ask her carefully."

Although she is a girl, she is the bloodline of the Xie family. As the saying goes, if you go out of the door, you can still stand up to the door with a good upbringing. Grandpa Guo has a spirit in the sky, and he doesn't want his own flesh and blood to be left behind. ”

An Lao Taijun understood Hongyu's thoughts, although the new emperor restored the Duke of the Kingdom and gave back the mansion, no matter how high the Juelu is, no matter how magnificent the mansion is, what is the use of no one to inherit it? How long can she support a woman who is more than half a hundred years old?

The new emperor is established, and it is urgent to win the hearts of the people. The Grace Mansion is just to establish authority for one's own family. When he sits firmly on the throne, how can he still take care of it like today? Those who see the wind and steer the rudder will naturally no longer regard the Guogong Mansion as a thing.

After a hundred years of her, how many people still remember that there was once a loyal but unjustly tragic Duke of Xie Guo in the Great Jin Kingdom?

If there is a trace of blood left in the world, whether male or female, as long as she is more energetic, she can continue the glory of the Guogong Mansion, and she is worthy of Xie Guogong.

Seeing that she was silent, Hongyu only looked at her when she hesitated and asked, "Madame, aren't you worried that what you said in that letter is not true, and that I will be deceived?"

Mrs. An shook her head, "I'd rather believe it than believe it." Regardless of whether what the letter says is true or not, we must go and check it. If it is really the bloodline of the Xie family, it will be the mercy of the heavens, and I can't bear the decline of my country's government.

We can't take the risk of burying the descendants of the Xie family in the market because of a moment of suspicion. ”

Hongyu's eyes lit up, "Then I'll pack up and leave early tomorrow morning." Fengzhou is not far away, and it takes seven or eight days to come and go. I'm going to get the girl back as soon as possible.

I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with the New Year, but I can still accompany you for a fifteenth year. ”

The tone was pleasant, as if he had already decided that what the letter said was the daughter of the Xie family.

"No, you can't. Mrs. An raised her hand to stop her, "The Chinese New Year is coming up in a few days, and if you leave Beijing at this time, it will inevitably arouse suspicion and cause unnecessary trouble."

It's still out of the first month, on the first day of the second month, I want to go to the nunnery to make a vow, and by the way, clean up for a few days. You took this opportunity to rush to Fengzhou, see the girl, and ask the matter clearly.

We can also spare a moment to see if the 'beneficial' will send another letter to guide us. ”

"Yes. "Hongyu deserves it," or Madame thought it through. ”

The master and servant had settled the matter, and there was nothing more to say, so Mrs. An picked up the scriptures and continued to study.

Hongyu took the residual tea and exited the door, and instructed the little girl who was waiting outside to replace it with soothing tea, so that Mrs. An would not sleep unsteadily at night. Although he had made up his mind, he returned to his own place and took out the name book again to read it carefully.

It happened that on the second day, Lord Liu of the Ministry of Industry sent a letter, saying that the bronze man had finished casting and had been sent to the cemetery. Put the bronze man into the coffin and seal the grave, and the renovation of the cemetery can be completed.

Hongyu informed Mrs. An of the old lady, and personally went to the cemetery, and found the foreman who inquired around for a long time, which confirmed the previous guess, and there were no bones in the coffin.

After returning home, he tried to find a girl who had worked as an errand in the Guogong Mansion and was later released from the mansion to get married, and inquired about the Yang family. It's a pity that before the girl was released from the state mansion, she was just a rough girl who cleaned the flower path, and she didn't know much about the affairs of the inner courtyard.

However, according to her recollection, not long after the third young master was buried, the news of the death of the third young lady came out, which was very sudden. I had never seen the doctor go in and out before, nor had I smelled the smell of decoction boiling soup when I passed by Xue Li Courtyard, and I had never heard of Yang's mother's family coming to visit the patient.

Although she didn't hear the important point, Hongyu also knew in her heart, and became more and more convinced that the person mentioned in the letter was the girl from the Xie family. Picked up two trustworthy girls, cleaned up the courtyard closest to the Buddhist hall, and waited for someone to take it back and live in.
