Chapter Twenty-Eight: Adoption of Daughters
Horizontal and vertical is a death, such a way of death makes Mrs. Tai cold.
The curse seemed to still linger in the solemn and solemn ancestral hall, and Lian Yun's eyes seemed to be still staring at her.
The ancestral hall is a sacred and awe-inspiring place for the Gu family, and now that someone has committed suicide in the ancestral hall, accompanied by such a cruel curse, the Gu family who saw this scene all felt the gloomy cold immersion behind them, and shivered inexplicably.
The heavy exhalation caused by the fright, and the sound of the wind and rain outside the hall, made the atmosphere a little subtly mad.
Mrs. Tai swept around the people in her circle with fierce eyes, and all the maids bowed their heads in fear.
The majesty was undiminished, and Mrs. Tai was very satisfied, she suppressed the faint fear in her heart and comforted herself.
When you live, you can't fight me, and I'm afraid that one will die by myself! If the curse is useful, how can there be any grievances and hatreds in this world?
Although Mrs. Tai's face turned pale, her tone did not show weakness, she clenched Mama Chen's arm and sneered.
"To die, blood will stain the tranquility of my Gu family ancestral hall, which is an unforgivable sin. Rui'er, such sinners, roll them up with a straw mat and throw them into a mass grave outside the city! ”
Gu Shenrui stood still and did not move.
When he saw the current scene, his mind echoed with the words that Gu Shenfei said before, 'Younger generations have no virtue'. In the ancestral hall and holy land, there has never been such a suicide curse since ancient times, but it happened under his nose, which made him almost tremble with guilt.
This is an insult to our ancestors!
This is also a declaration of their own incompetence!
Although he also complained about Lian Yun's actions, he couldn't agree with Mrs. Tai's words.
The ancestors and the ancestors were in front of him, and he couldn't do such dirty things.
is not a slave with a lowly status, Lian Yun was also the original partner of the former head of the family before, even if he can't be buried with the head of the family, he can't be so hasty.
His Gu family did not lack this bit of silver to bury her. And Lian Yun's aftermath had already been arranged, and now he was not caught off guard.
threw it to the mass grave, insulting not only Lian Yun, but also the Gu family.
Remembering what Lian Yun said before......
Gu Shenrui frowned.
"Mother, it's very inappropriate to be so famous for the Gu family!"
Mrs. Tai didn't think that Gu Shenrui would refute, she knocked her teeth, glanced at Gu Shenrui faintly, and also remembered what Lian Yun said before.
A lot of thoughts flashed through her mind, and finally pursed her lips and nodded, and said heavily, "You are the head of the family, you decide!" ”
Glancing at Lian Yun in the ancestral hall again, and then looking at the Gu family members present, his face sank, and his majesty burst out, "Today's matter, no one is allowed to mention another word, if I hear anyone talking in the future, don't blame my family law for dealing with it!" ”
Everyone in the Gu family trembled like a sieve, burying their heads and bowing their heads.
Gu Qinghuan and other clansmen also spoke out.
Mrs. Tai was very satisfied, and looked at Liang Peiheng again, and said in a slightly serious tone.
"Brother Liang, today's incident is caused by you. I am very angry that you have come back with the traitors of the Gu family to frame me. If it weren't for the memory of the deceased master, I wouldn't have given up. It's just that you are the old friend of the master, how can I make the master uneasy, even so, I can't hold him accountable, but there is one point, since today's incident is a misunderstanding, please Brother Liang tell the people you brought, don't spread this matter! ”
Liang Peiheng watched Mrs. Tai say these words seriously, and felt a little cold in his heart.
Everyone knew the truth, and he didn't pretend, and said coldly, "I didn't bring anyone from the foreign clan today, and I already planned to take care of the Gu family's face!" "Everything is planned, otherwise it would not have been easy.
This is a disguised promise, Mrs. Tai nodded, "That's the best, big brother of the Liang family, I'm not in good health, and I'm tired, I'll talk about something tomorrow." ”
While turning his head to Gu Shenrui, he instructed, "Rui'er, it's late today, your uncle of the Liang family has come from afar, and you must not be able to rush back, you remember to arrange a place for your uncle and the Liang family!" ”
After speaking, he squinted his eyes slightly and stared at Gu Shenrui's expression. If he refutes it, he is deliberately doing the right thing.
Gu Shen bowed sharply, "Yes, Mother!" ”
Seeing this, Mrs. Tai nodded with satisfaction, left the maid Lei Fu at the scene to see the situation, and took Mama Chen's hand and left with the other little maids.
Liang Peiheng sneered, waited for her to leave, and said to Gu Shenrui.
"Shen Rui, you are busy here, Uncle and I are not here to make trouble, if there is something to talk about tomorrow, there is no hurry, you arrange for Uncle to take someone to the residence. Besides, even what my sister-in-law said was brought back by us, so we left Shumei to take care of the aftermath, and let her send her sister-in-law to the end! ”
Gu Shenrui was also anxious, he nodded, called a housekeeper, and asked him to arrange a place for the people from the Liang family, and on the other hand, he exchanged another person who was in charge of the funeral, and ordered him to prepare Lian Yun's shroud and coffin.
Lian Yun's body was wrapped in a white cloth and carried out by the people guarding the shrine.
Liang Shumei suddenly pulled Xiao Meng to kneel outside the door of the ancestral hall in the front hall, and kowtowed to Lian Yun.
The others were stunned for a moment, and Liang Shumei said with tears in her eyes, "Although there is only half a day of getting along, even my mother treats Shumei as kindly as a mountain, in Shumei's heart, even my mother is Shumei's elder, she has no children to send her to the end, so Shumei will keep vigil for her!" ”
Gu Shenrui took a few more glances at Liang Shumei.
Thinking that when Lian Yun rushed to the ancestral hall just now, they were helping to push the hand, knowing that this was in response to Lian Yun's ancestral hall's request to seek death early in the morning, so at this time, there was nothing to say, just glanced at it and ordered people to clean the ancestral hall, and arranged for people to prepare a sacrifice to ask the ancestors for their guilt.
The people who had nothing to do with the ancestral hall had already left, and Gu Qinghuan was still in the corner watching the excitement.
Gu Yuqiu didn't go with Mrs. Tai, she stared at Xiao Meng, who was pulled by Liang Shumei to kneel on the ground, and felt a little strange in her heart.
Gracefully walked to the side and pointed at Xiao Meng.
"Don't forget, you are now my slave, the master is leaving, you hurry up and follow!"
Xiao Meng hung his head and was silent.
From the moment Liang Shumei whispered to her, Xiao Meng knew that Liang Shumei and Lian Yun had other arrangements for herself, so Liang Shumei pulled her to kneel.
In this Gu family, Xiao Meng is attacked everywhere, and Liang Shumei and others arranged by Lian Yun can be regarded as allies, and it depends on what she plans.
Liang Shumei saw Xiao Meng's unsuspecting performance in her eyes and nodded secretly. No wonder Lian Yun introduced her to herself, not only because of her sympathy, but also because she was smart and clever.
Liang Shumei pulled Xiao Meng to get up, looked at Gu Yuqiu's eyes, and said with a smile, "This little girl, she is not your maid, she will be my goddaughter soon, so I won't go with you!" ”
Gu Yuqiu was stunned when she heard this, she still wanted to take Xiao Meng back to bully her, but she didn't expect to kill halfway to bite the gold.
Not to be outdone, Gu Yuqiu also smiled, "Where do you start with this, Xiao Meng is the maid of the Gu family, and Mrs. gave her to me just now." Does this aunt of the Liang family think that whatever you say is what it is? ”
Aunt of the Liang family?
Liang Shumei trembled when she heard this title, she hated others calling her like this the most.
Even though she is not young, Yun Ying is not married, and she is always embarrassed to be called, and everyone avoids the title or calls the sixth sister of the Liang family, and she feels that it is an insult to call anything else.
Liang Shumei snorted lightly, glanced at Gu Yuqiu, remembered this person, and then said softly to the head of the Gu family in the ancestral hall.
"Brother Gu, with the friendship between my Liang family and the Gu family for so many years, now that Shumei has finally fallen in love with a like-minded maid and wants to recognize her as her goddaughter, is Brother Gu unwilling to give in?"
The head of the Gu family was stunned when he heard this, he withdrew from the ancestral hall with a frown, looked at Liang Shumei's hand that had been holding Xiao Meng's wrist, asked the reason, and said with a difficult face.
"Sister of the Liang family, if I am stingy and refuse to let go, it is really a big deal for this Xiao Meng, and my Gu family will definitely not let her out of the house!"
Xiao Meng knew that it must be because she didn't drink the soul washing pill.
Liang Shumei suddenly burst into tears when she heard this.
Xiao Meng, who lowered his head, saw the water falling on the ground, and looked up in surprise, and saw Liang Shumei looking at Gu Shenrui's affectionate eyes, and she didn't know when she was already full of tears.
I don't know if it's true feelings, or if it's all about acting?
Then later, Xiao Meng knew that tears were real, affection was real, but now the usefulness of tears is empty.
Liang Shumei choked up and said, "Brother Gu, Sister Gu also knows that Brother Gu has Brother Gu's difficulties, and Sister Shu never wants Brother Gu to be embarrassed by my affairs."
It's just that Shumei rarely enjoys maternal affection, which even my mother loved and cherished me like the first one, so that Shumei couldn't help but want to be close.
Now that she is gone, Shumei feels that there is something empty in her heart. Even my mother mentioned this woman to me every day. Even her mother said that she treated her as a granddaughter. Today, when I see such a poor person, I don't know why I feel pity, and I really want to take care of my goddaughter as a relative, so as not to suffer from her, and to avoid her worrying about food and clothing all her life.
This can be regarded as the fulfillment of Lian's mother's last wish.
Brother Gu, can you bear to refuse Shumei's request? ”
