Chapter 148: Discovering the Secret
In the dead of night, I thought about the darkness in the room.
The cold wind of the hunt squeezed in through the cracks, as if taunting the people in the room, and the voice was sometimes high-pitched like the wailing of the dead, and sometimes low like the whispers of a dying man.
Liu Yunqing trembled and curled up in the corner, the pain in her body had long been numb, her consciousness began to be a little blurred, and she thought about it greatly, but at this time, it seemed to her like a huge coffin, and she was almost suffocated in despair.
And the only thing she clearly remembers is that this qiē is all thanks to Liu Yunshu!
Today, she can be regarded as completely clear and aware of her situation. was supposed to protect her aunt, but when she needed it most, in front of her grandmother, she didn't dare to gasp!
Liu Yunqing felt a chill in his heart, and he couldn't suppress his faint laughter, sure enough, he was right that he didn't have much hope for her!
She couldn't help but cry again!
Why? Why doesn't anyone understand her? Why did she end up like this? She just wants to win back the things that should belong to her, she just wants to be cared for by others, why does she become so ruthless as soon as she arrives here?
Liu Yunqing just faced the cold wall, hanging his head like a puppet.
……
"Liu Yunqing was imprisoned in the Siguo room again?" In the room, Lei raised his eyes to look at Liu Yunhua, who was a little tired.
"Who made her do something stupid on her own?" However, I heard that in order to ruin the reputation of that cheap girl, she swaggered and deceived everywhere, but Liu Yunhua's heart was also very happy. Anyway, you don't have to do it yourself, that cheap girl had better set up as many enemies as possible, and sooner or later we will see how she is planted in the hands of others.
"Hehe, she really doesn't know Anfen." Lei was embroidering something in his hand, and his serious appearance attracted Liu Yunhua's attention.
"Mother, what are you doing here?"
Lei's face was a little embarrassed, "It's your father's birthday in a while, and I want to sew a cloak for him." ”
Marquis Changrong has always been low-key about his birthday, and he just set up a banquet in the mansion to have a homely meal with a few aunts, misses, and young masters, which is extremely ordinary, and he didn't even invite people in the second and third rooms. On weekdays, he is accustomed to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, but he prefers to simply have a light meal with his children in his own house.
However, in the eyes of Liu Yunhua's children, their father is just a little indifferent and doesn't like to be lively.
Although it is just a casual birthday celebration at home, they still have to give some birthday gifts to show their gratitude. In previous years, it was run by Lei's, but this year...... The needle in Lei's hand fell, and he felt a little melancholy and lonely in his heart.
I have never seen the newcomer laugh but not the old man crying, Hou Ye now went to the fifth aunt as soon as he returned to the house, and enjoyed the joy of family with the tenth young master, and never came to his own house, and in this Hou Mansion, Lei and Liu Yunhua are more and more like two outsiders, the old lady is not waiting to see, the Hou Ye is tired, and there are so many thorns in the flesh in the eyes that give them unhappiness all day long.
Although they are eager to change the status quo, the Lei family is helpless, and now they can only rely on Liu Yunhua to win the love of the Queen Mother and ascend to the position of the crown princess as soon as possible.
"It's not too early, you rest early, and you have to enter the palace early tomorrow morning to accompany the Queen Mother."
"Yes, Mother."
Lei Shi gathered the unfinished cloak and retreated softly, shuttling quietly through the corridor alone.
The Hou Mansion at night was exceptionally silent, only the corridor lights that were blown by the wind and swayed.
In the shadows ahead, two burly figures made Lei stand still.
"Master Hou, do you want to send back the things of the third young master?"
Yun Han? Could it be that the Hou Ye allowed him to come back?
"No need, bury it."
"......" Lei's footsteps that he originally planned to step forward suddenly froze, what does Master Hou mean by this, why did he bury Yun Han's things?
"Madame, do you want to tell me?"
"No, it's not a glorious thing, now that God has accepted him, he can be reincarnated as soon as possible."
The two of them turned into another courtyard in the blink of an eye, and Lei Shi only felt a chill rising from the soles of her feet, she heard her right, did they say Yun Han? What does it mean to be reincarnated early?
Lei's steps were vain, and she took a deep breath and tried to calm her beating heart, and followed softly.
After a while, the lieutenant who had just followed behind Changrong Hou walked out with something in his hand.
Lei wanted to see what was going on, but he didn't want to bump into a flower pot at his feet.
"Who? Who's there! ”
The deputy general turned his head to look, and through the corridor lamp, he saw Lei's strange face.
“…… Madam. ”
In the unmanned bamboo forest, Lei Shi held the robe in his hand in disbelief, it was covered with dust, of course she recognized this dress, it was sewn for him by herself when Liu Yunhan left Beijing before.
"What you said, but it's really ......"
The deputy general knew that the Lei family had just overheard his conversation with Hou Ye, and he knew that he couldn't hide it, "Madam, Hou Ye is also worried that you will be sad, so he didn't mention it." The third young master had already been infected with the plague in the camp and died. ”
"Why!" Lei Shi suddenly raised his head and his eyes widened, "Why did he not let him come back because he was infected with the plague, what does it mean to die?" ”
Seeing that the woman in front of him was so excited, the lieutenant took a step back. "The third young master refused to take the medicine prescribed by the sixth miss, and the Hou Ye ordered the young master to be taken care of, and the young master fell ill soon after......"
Liu Yunshu?! "She killed my Han'er!"
The deputy general didn't know who she was referring to in Lei's mouth, but the death of the third young master was not man-made, "Madam, the third young master died of illness." ”
"Nonsense! My Han'er was killed by Liu Yunshu! ”
What the? Why did Madame misunderstand, didn't she say it clearly enough? The deputy general wanted to explain something, but Lei's cold voice came, "Master Hou, why don't you bring Han'er's body back, and burn his things, what does this mean?" ”
Her breathing was a little short, and the adjutant general hesitated for a moment, "Madam, this plague can be big or small, all the infected people are strictly guarded, and their things must be burned and buried, even if people are dead, those things are extremely dangerous." This clothing is the only thing left, and the last general didn't know that it was the third young master's thing, so he brought it back, and the Hou Ye is also for the safety of your wife......"
"Nope! Han'er's things are not allowed to be buried! Lei Shi took the clothes into his arms, looked at the lieutenant with vigilant eyes, and retreated step by step, as if he was going crazy, so that the lieutenant did not dare to approach, for fear of stimulating her.
Then, Lei Shi turned around and quickly sank into the depths of the bamboo forest, and the deputy general gritted his teeth, could it be that he was too talkative?
Early morning.
As soon as Liu Yunfeng, who came back from running errands outside, entered the house, he was startled by the woman at the table, he looked at it, Lei's face was haggard, his hair was a little scattered, he was holding a ball of clothes tightly in his arms, and he seemed to be muttering something to himself.
"Mother?!"
Lei Shi heard the voice, and his cloudy eyes slowly turned, "Feng'er, Feng'er, your brother is dead...... Dead ......"
Liu Yunfeng frowned, what's wrong with my mother? "Mother, what happened, you were here all night?"
Lei's tears fell silently, and that appearance was shocking, "Feng'er, tell my mother, is Han'er dead?" ”
What the?! Liu Yunfeng thought he had misheard, "What is my mother talking about?" Who died? ”
"Last night...... The lieutenant general next to your father told me that Han'er was dead, and your father died when he was in Jiangnan, and now his body is also burning, and there is nothing left, there is no more......" Lei Shi was a little incoherent, and she held the mass of clothes and shook her body gently.
"Is this true? My father didn't mention it to me! Liu Yunfeng was shocked in his heart.
"It's Liu Yunshu! It was Liu Yunshu who killed Han'er! Lei suddenly grabbed Liu Yunfeng's arm, and the strength seemed to be about to pinch blood.
"Mother, you make it clear, how could the sixth sister kill the third brother? What did the adjutant say? ”
Liu Yunfeng tried to make Lei's sober up, so he grabbed her shoulders and shook her vigorously twice, poured the tea on the side into the palm of his hand, and gently patted Lei's cheek.
He said...... Han'er contracted the plague and died......"
If so, why didn't my father say a word? Liu Yunhan was incredulous, he reached out and grabbed Lei's arm, "Mother, come with me!" ”
Marquis Changrong stayed in the study yesterday, and he happened to get up and get dressed at this moment, and the door was pushed open with a bang, "Father! ”
Liu Yunfeng was menacing, and he was followed by the haggard Lei Clan.
"Feng'er, even you don't know how to be polite?"
At this moment, where can Liu Yunfeng take care of anything else, "Father, is the third brother dead?" Is this true? ”
Marquis Changrong raised his eyebrows coldly, and his gaze swept sharply across Lei's face, "Where did you know?" ”
“…… So, is it true? Liu Yunfeng froze there at the moment, he never thought that the last separation was the eternal parting of life and death between the two brothers.
"Master Hou...... Why, why don't you save Han'er......" Lei muttered, tugging at the stack of clothes tightly.
Marquis Changrong recognized the clothes in her arms at a glance, and there was nothing to hide until now. "Yun Han was infected with the plague, and at that time, Shu'er had not yet prepared an effective antidote, and Yun Han was not the only one who died in the army." What he wants to say is that it's not that he can't save it, but that he can't save it.
The plague in the Jiangnan area, this time there are countless people who have died, Liu Yunhan is just one of them, and if he didn't torture the refugees like that, he wouldn't let himself be infected with the plague, in the entire barracks, only he and the soldiers who tortured those refugees were infected, and the others were safe after being taken care of in time.
"Why...... You don't bring him back......"
"Bring it back? Let the entire Hou Mansion accompany him to the funeral? "Changrong Hou's almost cold reason made Lei's heart chill.
