Chapter 119: Cause of Death
Things seem to be getting more complicated.
The next day, when Qin Yue went to greet the old lady again, she paid special attention to Mama Liu's actions.
Mama Liu behaved as usual, and treated Qin Yue as respectful as usual, as if yesterday's incident had never happened at all.
Looking at the old lady again, the old lady's spirit was even better than yesterday, and she accompanied Qin Yue for a long time, until Mama Liu urged her to drink medicine, and then sent her fifth granddaughter away.
If it was before, Qin Yue would not have cared about these details, but after yesterday's events, she had to re-examine the old lady and Mama Liu.
This master and servant, people are not old-hearted!
I remembered the situation a few months ago when the old lady forced her to hand over her things, and at that time I felt that the old lady was hiding a lot of secrets in her heart. Now it seems that not only does the old lady have ghosts in her heart, but even the minions around her are hiding a lot of things. I just don't know if they are in a group or have their own backgrounds.
A few days later, the Qin family welcomed back the coffin of Second Master Qin, and immediately parked it with his brother and brother. He also invited the senior monks of Jinglong Temple to come to the house to do things, and chose to go out of the funeral on the 29th day of the lunar month and be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Qin family in the western suburbs.
These days, the Qin family has come and gone, and there is an endless stream of relatives and friends who come to mourn.
Due to the sudden death of his father, Brother Zheng, who returned to Beijing with the emperor from Dayue Mountain, seems to have grown up a lot all of a sudden. While helping the third uncle to handle the trivial affairs of the outer courtyard, he accompanied his mother and younger siblings to give gifts to the guests.
Jin Ge'er was not so sensible, but the trip to Dayue Mountain did not let him get experience, but frightened his courage, and when he returned home, he saw his father's body. He was even more terrified, afraid that bad luck would befall him.
Song was worried about this, and tears flowed one after another. But he didn't get a response from his son. On the contrary, it was Qin Yuan, the concubine who was the most disdainful, who took the initiative to help take care of her father's funeral.
The fifth room is also miserable, with two children, the eldest brother is seven years old, and the younger sister is only three years old. The old lady took pity on the fifth room and sent someone to the other courtyard to pick up her aunt Xu and return home.
As soon as the Xu family returned to the Qin Mansion, they went straight to the mourning hall of the fifth master of Qin. She put her arm around Brother Chun. Holding his good sister in one hand, looking at his son lying quietly in the coffin, he couldn't help but feel sad. Tears flowed down my cheeks.
The pain of a white-haired person sending a black-haired person may only be understood by those who have experienced it.
In the end, Qi stepped forward to help him up, and the two went to the next room to talk.
In the end, it is her husband's biological mother, and Qi is unconsciously close to Xu. "I've begged the old lady. You live in the house these days, poor fifth master...... I have never done my filial piety in front of you, so I went like this......"
Xu patted Qi's shoulder and sighed: "Although he was born to me, he grew up under the old lady's knees. Speaking of which, I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a mother, and I didn't even see the last side of him before he died!"
"The fifth master left suddenly, even me, even I didn't notice it!"
Xu couldn't help but be suspicious. "Fifth Master, how did you get there?"
Qi sighed. "We went to bed early that night. I slept heavily at night because I took care of my sick sister during the day. In the middle of the night, there was a strange sound in the courtyard, and the fifth master got up to find out. I never came back...... Qi Shi said while wiping his tears, "I really regret it now, I didn't go out with the fifth master at that time, otherwise the fifth master would not have suffered an accident!"
"So, the fifth master was killed by someone?" Xu's face was full of shock and disbelief, and even his fingers were trembling.
Qi shook his head, "No." I quietly went to the doctor, and the doctor said that he had died of heart disease. ”
"Heart disease?"
That's what the doctor said, but I don't believe it. The fifth master's health has always been very good, and it is impossible to have heart disease at all. But the fifth master had no scars on his body at all, and there was no blood. When Mama found him, he lay in the corner of the west side of the courtyard as if he were asleep. ”
These words had been held in her heart for a long time, and she had no chance to say them until today. Xu is the biological mother of the fifth master after all, so she has to let her know the truth.
Xu Shi listened and didn't make a sound for a long time.
When Qi was about to leave the house, he said in an aggravated tone: "Just listen to these things for me, but don't shout everywhere, especially the old lady, don't show the slightest bit of mouth, beware of trouble coming out of your mouth!"
Qi's eyes were full of doubts. Looking at the look on Aunt Xu's face, is this really an inside story?
Xu didn't explain more, and waved his hand to let Qi go out first.
As a son and nephew, Qin Yue also has to keep a guard for the three uncles.
When Qin Yue came, the Qi family had just come out of the room, and the expression on his face had not yet returned to normal.
"Fifth aunt!"
Qi was startled, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Sister Yue's childhood.
"Fifth Miss!"
Because of Qin Wuye's identity, she has always been very respectful to the title of the master in the house, so that people can't find a trace of error.
Qin Yue looked at the fifth aunt who was about to be widowed at a young age, and she felt uncomfortable. If the uncle died by him, then what about the fifth uncle? How did he die?
Maybe the old lady has an explanation, whether it is the master or the subordinates in the house, they are very jealous of the cause of the death of the two masters, and they can't inquire about anything at all. It is said that the fifth uncle died in the middle of the night, and there was no room around him, so he should have rested in the fifth aunt's room that night. Fifth aunt, you should be in the know, right?
Qin Yue stepped forward to grab Qi's wrist and sincerely comforted her for a while.
Qi gradually opened his heart and was willing to talk to this niece who was usually good friends.
"Good sister in the future, I have to trouble you to take care of it more!"
"That's nature. It's all my own family, so it's polite to say this. Qin Yue paused, and said, "After the New Year, the fifth brother will also enter the school." Has the fifth aunt ever thought about letting him study literature or martial arts?"
Qi frowned slightly, and said with a wry smile: "To be honest, I've been patronizing and sad these days, and I haven't thought of this yet-Yue'er, you are a child with ideas, what do you think Brother Chun'er should study?"
Qin Yue groaned: "It stands to reason that of course, civil and military all-round talents are the best. But then the fifth brother will be very hard. I think it's up to him to choose, to choose what he likes!"
Qi Shi also felt justified when he heard it, "Then let him choose by himself!" Then his eyes swept over the coffin next to him, and he sighed: "Your fifth uncle, he likes to study medicine the most in his life, but unfortunately Grandpa Guo and the old lady are not allowed, I hope he can get his long-cherished wish over there!"
Qin Yue pretended to be puzzled and said, "Fifth Uncle's health has always been very good, how could he suddenly die suddenly?" Fifth Aunt, you should have been by the Fifth Uncle's side at the time, and you didn't find out beforehand?"
"It's not a violent death, it's being someone-" As soon as the words came out, Qi regretted it. Remembering Aunt Xu's advice just now, he hurriedly shut up.
"It's not a violent death, is it someone who killed it?"
Qi Shi hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover her mouth, lowered his voice and said, "My aunt, don't talk nonsense!" (to be continued......)
