Chi Linglong has been really tired during this time, and she has just finished the funeral of the county lord and the queen mother of Shaohua, and she will go to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion to wake the old lady's soul later.

She is a married daughter, and she doesn't need to be in front of the spirit day and night like her daughter-in-law, but she must do what a granddaughter should do, otherwise it will be really not fun to fall into the hands of others and be criticized.

During the funeral of the old lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, there were also many noble families in Kyoto who wanted to do funerals, and in June, Mo Yi hurriedly handed over her post today to Chi Linglong, these are the people who came to the Qin Wangfu to report the funeral, the subconscious meaning is that the relationship between these people and the Qin Wangfu is not bad, and now there is a funeral in their house, whether it is Chi Linglong or Qin Chenghei, they should go to participate in it in terms of reasonableness.

When Chi Linglong took over the thick pile of posts from June's hands, she was a little congested, and when she counted them, there were twenty or thirty copies of the posts, that is, for a period of time in the future, she would have to attend the funerals of at least twenty or thirty families, and Chi Linglong was no longer as simple as wanting to vomit blood.

The extremely tired Chi Linglong went to bed early this night, and when Qin Chengsi came back, she was already asleep, and let Qin Chengsi hold her in his arms and knead her, but she didn't wake up, and in the end, Qin Chengsi, who wanted to do bad things, could only sigh and give up.

On the second day, Chi Linglong went to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion early in the morning, at this time, the Hou Mansion was full of white covered in silver, white flags and white lanterns hung high, it looked very bleak, but the front and back of the house were full of maids walking around, busy and orderly.

Several married girls from the Hou Mansion, including the second girl Chi Mingwan, the third girl Chi Mingzhen, and the rest of the girls from the in-laws in the capital all came to the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion on this day, and they and Chi Linglong stayed in the mourning hall for a while, and then they were invited by the Zhou family to go down to rest.

Ordinary people would never be so polite to their granddaughter, but for the sake of Chi Linglong's face, Zhou had to act cautiously.

Chi Linglong's status is precious, although she came to the wake-up for the filial piety of her granddaughter, but as long as she looks good, there is no need to be overly sad; And the Zhou family also knew that she had a bad relationship with the old lady, and she didn't use a dead old woman to work out the princess of Qin and make enemies of the Qin palace.

Chi Linglong did not refuse, and went to the flower hall with a few sisters to rest at Zhou's invitation, Xie Hui accompanied them on the orders of his mother-in-law, but he didn't stay long, and he also went to the mourning hall to entertain guests.

Chi Linglong hasn't seen Xie Hui for a long time, she and Xie Hui were good friends when she was in Yizhou, since Xie Hui married into the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and she married Qin Chenghei, the two have had very little contact.

She is not close to her mother's family, and she doesn't come to the door during the New Year's holidays, unless she marries her daughter on the second day of the New Year's year and returns to her parents' house, and the rest of the time, she has not been on the gate of the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion.

However, in the past few years of her marriage, for two years, she was pregnant during the New Year, and she could not even participate in the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, so it was even more impossible to come to the Hou Mansion.

Chi Linglong and Hou Fu have gone far, and on the other hand, the relationship with Xie Hui seems to be a lot more estranged.

However, Xie Hui is a lonely person, although she has been a daughter-in-law and a mother for a few years, she is in the favored and wealthy Zhongyong Marquis Mansion, and her mother's family can't help her, the edges and corners of her body can't help her, and the edges and corners of her body are inevitably worn down a lot in the difficult survival, and people look sleek, but in front of a person like Chi Linglong, who has always been friends, she does not hide her cold temperament at all, and treats Chi Linglong as always, which makes Chi Linglong a lot more comfortable.

Xie Hui went to the mourning hall and summoned Chi Mingshu, the ninth girl of the Hou Mansion who could still talk to her before, to accompany her.

Chi Mingxuan is not young, she has turned seventeen years old this year, she is only one year younger than Chi Linglong, a few months younger than Chi Mingxuan, and now Chi Mingxuan has given birth to children safely, it is said that she should have married a long time ago at this age, but now she is about to become an old girl, and the Zhou family is not in a hurry to say goodbye to her.

No, in fact, it's not right to say that, it should be said that the Zhou family wants to say goodbye to this concubine, but the family she chose is either a widower who has lost his wife, or a down-and-out mansion in which Jin Yu is ruined, the other party not only has a bad character, but also lacks talent and ability, and more or less has some personality or physical defects, and is old enough to be Chi Mingshu's father, if Chi Mingshu marries in the past, it is not to enjoy happiness, it can be said that he jumped into the fire pit.

The fact that the Zhou family wants to take care of this concubine's marriage is not a secret in the entire Zhongyong Marquis Mansion.

It can be said that the Zhou family hates the concubines in her big house and can't let them die, including the four girls who have already married, including Chi Linglong, and of course there will be no missing nine girls.

The fourth girl and Chi Linglong are better, after all, although the fourth girl's mother, Xiaolin, is the niece of the old lady who came out of the five suits, and was once sent into the big room by the old lady to fight with the Zhou family, which added a lot of gambling to the Zhou family, but the mother of the fourth girl is a peaceful person in her bones and never takes the initiative to find trouble.

The aunt of the four girls is honest, and before she got married, the Marquis of Zhongyong moved to the capital, and the Zhou family wanted to use her to make a face and put on a benevolent mother's money, so that the four girls could marry safely and steadily.

Chi Linglong's relatives in the palace directly gave the holy decree of marriage, and the Zhou family naturally did not have a reason to criticize her; In fact, even if Zhou wanted to embarrass her, he wouldn't dare.

These two concubines have successfully flown out of Zhou's control, Zhou's heart is already angry, plus the ninth girl's biological mother Aunt Li is the most pinched in the big house, adding more than 20 years of blockage to Zhou's family, Zhou's has suffered a secret loss in her hands, this matter Zhou has always hated, and now it is Aunt Li's turn to get married, no matter what, she can't let Chi Ming Shunshun be married.

There are a lot of people who come to the Hou Mansion to marry Chi Mingshu, after all, Chi Mingshu's appearance is really worthy of a sentence of beauty and moon appearance, she has a fifth sister who is the princess of Qin, and her biological father is a loyal and brave marquis who controls the 200,000 Gyeonggi garrison.

Naturally, there are many young and dignified people among the people who ask to marry Chi Mingshu, but unfortunately, they only sent an intermediary to the Hou Mansion to inquire about their intentions, and they were sent away by the Zhou family, and the excuse was that the nine girls did not agree.

Over time, the nine girls of the Hou Mansion were arrogant, and the news that she was looking for a noble son-in-law from a famous family spread, which can be regarded as ruining Chi Mingshu's reputation.

Chi Linglong has also heard of Chi Mingshu's reputation so far, originally thought that after Zhou's repeated harsh reprimands, this girl may be haggard and thinner than Huanghua, but I don't want to, Chi Mingshu has no melancholy and tiredness on her face, although she is still slender and slender, it seems that she has indeed lost weight, but she looks good, and when she talks with a few married sisters, she also speaks softly, but there is no resentment and resentment.

It's just that I don't know if it's Chi Linglong's illusion, but when Chi Mingshu said the word "old lady", he seemed to see a trance, panic and horror and other ghostly lights passing through Chi Mingshu's eyes.

Chi Linglong thought that she had seen it wrong, and when she looked carefully, she saw Chi Ming's eyes hanging her head at a moment, the panic in her eyes that she didn't have time to retract, and the look of anxiety like a trapped beast, and her frightened look.

What's going on here?

Chi Mingshu didn't know that someone was looking at her, she didn't belong to her mind, but at this moment, she had to cheer up and entertain a few sisters.

When he said again, "I heard that my grandmother had been calling Brother Min'er's name before she died, but unfortunately, the second brother was on duty in the palace at the time, and he didn't rush back in a hurry to let his grandmother take a look......" At this point, the different color in Ji Mingshu's voice could no longer be concealed.

The helpless crying and choking sound of the daughter's family came out, which made several sisters in the Hou Mansion couldn't help but have red eyes and shed tears, thinking that Chi Mingshu was distressed by the old lady who had passed away.

Although they have a bad relationship with the old lady, in the final analysis, it is also their grandmother, at the moment the old lady is dead, they have hated her for so long as granddaughters, and now she is really dead, their feelings are so complicated, they will shed tears for her?

There was a crying sound in the flower hall, Chi Linglong hung her head silently, she really couldn't cry, she looked at Chi Mingshu quietly, wanting to see what happened to this ninth sister, why today's love fluctuated so much, how could she cry for the old lady who had slapped her twenty times?

Sister for so many years, she didn't know that the ninth sister was such a soft-hearted person?!

Chi Linglong frowned and thought deeply, and then looked at Chi Mingshu, sobbing in a low voice at the moment, that kind of silent crying, tears flowed down her cheeks, and the people who watched it were very unbearable.

It's just that no matter what others guess in their hearts, Chi Mingshu herself understands that she is not sad because of the old lady's death, she is just crying for herself.

She cried because she had been holding on to her luck all along, and she had always been reluctant to accept her fate to this world, but in the end, all the major events that happened in Kyoto proved to her how ridiculous she was lucky before.

A qiē in history still happened, even if the time is not right, but the ten princes are still forced to the palace, the eldest prince still rebels, the queen mother is still angry and blind, and her grandmother is still strangled to death on the bed by the people around her stepson!

All the things that appear in the historical records are true, and they all happen, doesn't mean that the Huns will still attack the capital at what time will be in the future? All the female dependents in the capital still have to die for the sake of protecting their names?

Thinking of the turmoil experienced by the eldest prince in the palace some time ago, and thinking of the day when the rebels invaded the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion, she went to wipe the old lady's body as usual on the order of the Zhou family, because she was so engrossed in reading the book the night before yesterday that it was too late to rest, so she thought about resting for a while in the blue gauze cabinet next to the old lady's room.

The old lady has been paralyzed in bed for several years, from the collapse of her body after entering Beijing, to now it has been hollowed out, she eats and drinks all in bed every day, and has completely become a waste.

The old lady can no longer make waves in the Hou Mansion, and then the second room also loses power in the Hou Mansion, the second lady Lin abandons the old lady and does not miss the old feelings at all, and the maids around the old lady are also slack; And because the old lady had been suppressing the Zhou family before, adding to her blockage, and now that the Zhou family has turned over, she will also settle the account with the old lady.

Earlier, the two girls who were still loyal to the old lady were all transferred, and only two big girls who were cheating and playing tricks were left, and their favorite thing every day was to gossip on melon seeds, looking forward to one day being taken in by the prince, as for the old lady, who still thinks of her?

The matter of waiting for the old lady was handed over to her and the eighth sister, since the eighth sister left Nanzhao as a concubine to marry Teng, it has become her own task to wipe the old lady's body every day.

The day of the Great Prince's forced confession and rebellion was no exception.

Because few people come here from the old lady, and the maids are all derelict in their duties and don't know where they went, Chi Mingshu temporarily rested in the blue yarn kitchen on the side of the old lady's room, and no one even knew.

Chi Mingshu has always slept shallowly, even if she slept less the night before, she was tired at this time, she always kept awake, and when someone stepped into the old lady's inner room, she woke up from the dream as soon as possible.

The footsteps of the person who came were calm and thick, it should be a man, she thought that the second uncle Chi Zhongde was back, and it was not easy to go out, so she went to bed barefoot and avoided to the side.

But soon after, she knew that she was wrong, because that person was definitely not the second uncle.

Let's not say that the second uncle rarely enters the inner house during the day, but is busy spending time outside, let's just say that the footsteps of the people who come are sonorous and powerful, and they should be people who practice martial arts.

The second uncle spends all day drinking and fishing. color, he has long been hollowed out, his steps are very vain when he walks, and it is impossible for the second uncle to come.

If it weren't for the second uncle, who else would come over?

It won't be the father who is stationed outside the city all the year round, it won't be the eldest brother and second brother on duty, and it won't be the third uncle who works in the government office, so who else will there be?

She put her toes on her toes, suppressed the sound of her breathing, and leaned forward to look, who knows, she actually saw a scene that made her frightened and chilled.

Uncle Wu, my father's henchman, stretched out two fingers and pinched it fiercely, strangling the sleeping old lady to death with his own hands!!

Who is Uncle Wu?

That is the right-hand man of his father Chi Zhongyuan, the henchman of his henchmen, it can be said that all the things of his father, whether Zhou knows it or not, whether the third uncle knows it or not, Wu Bo must know it.

If you want to say that Wu Bo's move was not instructed by his father, he didn't believe that he killed her.

She always thought that the murder of his mother by the loyal and brave Marquis Chi Zhongyuan was a big mistake in the world, although she faintly believed it in her heart, but she didn't think it was true in her bones.

However, the scene in front of her really confirmed to her that the old lady of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion did die at the hands of her stepson Chi Zhongyuan.

Even if her father didn't do it himself, he must be the ultimate mastermind behind the scenes.

Nothing can escape fate, everything will be carried out step by step according to the course of history, and one day, the Xiongnu will conquer Kyoto, and they will all die and die...... R1152
