Chapter 115: Mourning
The man in gray laughed too.
After laughing, he said seriously: "To be honest, Xiao Siniang, the pavilion master has always been very concerned about you." But for the sake of the great cause, you have to do this, and you have to be considerate of his hard work. ”
The old lady's body shook slightly, she was silent for a long time, and said coldly: "I don't want to mention the past...... But now, you have killed my son, and this revenge must be avenged!"
The man in gray was silent.
The old lady was still kneeling on the futon, her cloudy eyes closed tightly.
The man in gray sighed, turned around and slowly disappeared behind the statue of Guanyin.
The old lady collapsed to the ground in a daze, and her haggard old face was full of remorse and pain.
As you grow old, you will always have many unspeakable experiences and secrets.
Although the Xiao family was a big family back then, it had long since declined. Xiao Siniang, who was supposed to be in the boudoir, followed the master to practice martial arts since she was a child and learned a good martial arts. Only then did he have the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy, fall in love with the grandfather of the country, and get married.
After that, with the uprising of King Xuan, the Qin family and the Xiao family were both named the princes of the dynasty with their dragon merits, and they became the top nobles of the Dadu Dynasty.
Those hidden memories are never mentioned again.
The man in gray appeared quietly, evoking the memories that the old lady had sealed for many years, and she could no longer be calm......
After a long time, the old lady stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and walked out of the small Buddha hall tremblingly.
Mama Liu hurriedly stepped forward to support her and went to the main room of Jingyi Courtyard together.
The old lady had just changed her clothes and came out, and the Duan and Song families arrived.
Duan's and Song's eyes were red. Apparently just cried.
The old lady knew that she was ashamed of these two daughters-in-law, and her words were less harsh than before.
"The eldest and the second are gone, and we still have Brother Jin, Brother Zheng. The days still have to pass, let's mourn!"
Duan couldn't help but shed tears when he heard this, "Mother, the prince of the world, the prince of the world died so unjustly! He is usually in good health, and he has never even had a headache or brain fever, how could he suddenly die violently? There must be something wrong with this...... Mother. You say, did someone poison it?"
The old lady's expression was gloomy, and she couldn't say anything about the bitterness in her heart. I had to say: "People can't be resurrected after death, the eldest daughter-in-law, take good care of this family, and wait for the grandfather to come back." Let's think about it in the long run!"
Song couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart. A few steps forward and knelt in front of the old lady, "Mother, I have the same idea as my sister-in-law, the second master died in Chuzhou for no reason, there must be a problem in the middle, you have to send someone to investigate!"
The old lady looked down on this daughter-in-law very much, but at this time, she also patiently persuaded her, "The second child has done a lot for this family." My wife and son have it in mind, and I will never treat you badly in the future......"
There was a pause. The old lady continued: "As soon as I received the news, the third child sent someone to Chuzhou, even if the truth of the matter could not be found, the second child's coffin must be brought back. You take good care of a few children, and without their fathers, the burden on your shoulders is heavy. ”
The old lady's words made the Song family feel better, but then they thought of those rumors, and their anger rushed up again, "Mother, the person sent by the third brother is reliable? Mother is afraid that she doesn't know, it's all spread outside, they all say, they all say it, they all say it......"
"What did you say?"
Song bit his lip and said, "It is said that the third brother is the son of Tu Shizi and the Qin family's property, and he has harmed the two elder brothers-"
The old lady's face changed, she slapped the table in front of her heavily, and shouted: "Do you believe such nonsense?"
Song was so frightened that he didn't dare to squeak, but there was clearly hatred flashing in his eyes.
The Duan clan hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege, "Alas, second brother and sister, I think you are too sad, if the subordinate chews the root of the tongue, where can you be trusted? If it weren't for the third brother rushing back and forth these days, our Qin family would have been finished long ago! If you talk like this, no wonder your mother is angry!"
As he spoke, he picked up Song and stood on the side, and kept glaring at her.
Song held back his dissatisfaction, and twisted to admit his mistake to the old lady, "Mother, it's the daughter-in-law who is not good, and she said the wrong thing." ”
The old lady originally wanted to give her a good lecture, but when she thought of her deceased son, her heart immediately softened, "The third child is pure and kind in nature, and he has always respected his two elder brothers, and he will never do such a thing." Don't let me hear such words again in the future, otherwise I will not be spared!"
After speaking, he said to Duan: "The eldest daughter-in-law, appeasement is equivalent to raising annihilation." It's time for the house to get in order!"
The Duan family hurriedly agreed, and dragged the Song family to salute the old lady before turning around and leaving the house.
The two walked to a secluded place in the garden, and the mother-in-law and maids who followed were far away.
Song held his breath in his heart, and he couldn't bear it anymore, "Sister-in-law, why did you persuade me just now?"
The Duan clan secretly hated this eyeless Song family, but now thinking that she still has use value, he patiently explained: "Now that the third child is the only son under her knees, it depends on him whether he can revitalize the Qin family." Regardless of whether this was done by the third child or not, she would not suspect the third child at this time, let alone show it in front of us. ”
Song's anger became even greater, and he swept Duan's wrist away, "Didn't you ask me to ask like this?" Now that the old lady is angry, she blames me again. ”
Duan's was extremely speechless, this second brother and sister didn't have an open mind, and they always spoke straightforwardly, no wonder they didn't like the old lady all the time, so they wouldn't turn around and talk in a smearing way, really......
The Duan clan slandered the Song clan for a while in his heart, but there was a smile on his face, "I don't mean to blame you." It's not that you don't know that the old lady loves the third child, and she can't wait to leave all the good things of the Qin family to the third room. You say it so bluntly that anyone who hears it will get angry. And we're just here to find out what she's talking about. ”
Song snorted, the expression on her face softened, she also knew that what she said just now was too straightforward, and her intestines were blue with regret, but she didn't want to admit it in front of Duan.
The two talked for a while, and then went back to their yard separately.
Back at Minghui Courtyard, Duan ripped off the plain clothes he was wearing outside, without a trace of sadness on his face.
Over the years, the prince has been messing with flowers and grass outside, and recently he has been clamoring to admit women outside into the door, and the relationship between the couple has already dropped to the freezing point, if she didn't care about the position of Mrs. Shizi, she would have reconciled with the prince.
But now that the prince has died violently, she can't be the wife of the prince, and the dream of the princess has been shattered. Therefore, for the death of the prince, she has no sadness at all, but more indifference.
The Duan family rested in his house for a while, and then his mother-in-law came over one after another to pay respects.
Duan patiently explained to them what they were doing. She is still the wife of the prince, and she is also in charge of the Qin family's feed. There are three funerals to be held in the mansion one after another, and the demeanor of the eldest lady of the Qin family must also be maintained in front of people. (To be continued......)
