Chapter 307: Honesty (1)
Wei Ning Hou woke up at dawn, but yesterday he ran all the way and was tossed by Ji Ze in the prison again. The injuries on his body recurred, and he couldn't get out of bed at all.
Ji Ze's body had been secretly disposed of, and his clothes covered all the scars. I don't know what was smeared on his face, his face was faintly blue, and he looked like he was dying of a sudden illness.
Gu Caiping forced himself to the mourning hall, and the moment he saw Ji Ze's corpse, the whole person collapsed, threw himself on the side of the coffin and wept, and soon fainted from crying.
Ji Yu is not much better, and she can't count on her help at all.
Ji Huan's two sisters were also crushed by this sudden accident, Ji Huan's eyes were red and swollen when she cried, and after Ji Huan cried, she stopped crying. He stood by the coffin in a daze, his face as sad as if angry.
As a result, only Hanyu was left to support the overall situation alone.
Hanyu commanded the stewards to deal with people and things alone, although they were busy, there was no chaos.
When the Zou family led Xu Jinyu's brothers and sisters to show up. Hanyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and begged in a low voice: "There are many guests in the house today, and it is rude for me to come forward to greet the female dependents." The male guests all relied on the Ji family's clan to help greet them, but fortunately you all came. Please help greet the guests. β
Xu Jinyu and Xu Zheng responded without saying a word.
Xu Zheng has been honing in the Hanlin Academy for several months, and his temperament is calm and smooth, and most of the people who come to mourn today are civil and military officials. Xu Zheng helped to come forward to greet these officials, but it was not all without benefits, and he could get to know more people.
Xu Jinyu accompanied Hanyu to greet the female dependents.
After all, Hanyu is a concubine, and she is facing the ladies on such an occasion. A little less confident. Xu Jinyu is different. Empress Ye personally decreed marriage, Chen Yuanzhao's fiancΓ©e, and the prospective daughter-in-law of Anguo Mansion. Such an identity. No one will take it lightly.
Princess Qin came to mourn, Princess Wei and Princess Chu also came!
Several princesses appeared one by one, didn't stay long, and left after the condolences.
Princess Chu glanced at Xu Jinyu deeply before leaving, and her eyes were quite complicated. If you distinguish carefully, there is a faint hint of jealousy and disdain.
As for Xu Jinyu, she didn't take Ye Qiuyun to heart at all.
Chen Yuanzhao has a cold temperament. Never pretend to be a woman. Ye Qiuyun was just wishful thinking. Now it is ridiculous to put on this face that is extremely red when the rival in love meets
After a busy day, the guests who came and went to mourn finally dispersed. Only the relatives of the Ji family remained. No one is in the mood to eat. After a few hasty bites, they stopped their chopsticks.
It was getting dark, and a light rain began to fall.
The crying in the mourning hall was much quieter.
Gu Caiping's crying voice was hoarse, and now she can't cry if she wants to. Just knelt beside the coffin in a daze. The two nurses each held their babies to the side. Two children who can only cry. I didn't know the suffering of the world, so I didn't have my father.
No matter how hard Xu Jinyu's heart is, it is a little uncomfortable to see this scene.
Ji Ze really deserves to die, but the child is always innocent. There is also Gu Caiping, who is going to be widowed at a young age
"Cousin Jin," Ji Yu, who had been silent, opened her mouth in a hoarse voice: "You come with me, I have something I want to say to you alone." β
Xu Jinyu nodded and silently followed Ji Yu out of the mourning hall.
Ji Yu's footsteps were slow. The back is lonely, and the road does not stop. All the way to the Agarwood Pavilion. Today, all the maids and daughters in the house went to the mourning hall, and there was no one else in the Agarwood Pavilion except for the little maid guarding the door.
Ji Yu stood under the familiar corridor, looking dazed.
Xu Jinyu keenly sensed that something was wrong with Ji Yu, and said softly: "Cousin Yu, people can't be resurrected after death, and I hope you mourn."
"Cousin Jin," Ji Yu suddenly interrupted Xu Jinyu: "In just two months, first my mother died unexpectedly, and now I am the eldest brother." Were their deaths really accidental? β
Xu Jinyu opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer this question.
In front of the brilliant Ji Yu, if you say anything like an accident, you will be suspected of self-deception.
Ji Yu raised her head and looked straight at Xu Jinyu, her gaze was extremely complicated: "There are only two of us here, so there is no need to beat around the bush." I have something to ask you, for the sake of the two of us, I hope you can tell you bluntly and no longer hide it. β
Xu Jinyu pursed her lips and nodded: "If you want to ask anything, you can ask!" β
"What was the reason why you and your aunt and cousin were in a hurry to move out of the Hou Mansion that day?" Ji Yu's first question was direct and sharp.
Xu Jinyu was silent for a moment before replying: "My aunt wanted me to marry the prince as a continuation, but because I was reluctant, she secretly set up a situation and wanted me to lose my innocence and have to marry the son." I will plan and lead Gu Caiping to go for me, and you should know what happened later. β
"Later, the prince wanted to dedicate his eldest brother to the king of Qin"
Ji Yu looked shocked, and couldn't help but interrupt Xu Jinyu: "What do you mean by dedicating to King Qin?" β
Xu Jinyu said lightly: "It's literal, you are so smart, you should be able to understand." β
Ji Yu was speechless. Originally, because I guessed some facts, I was sad and indignant, and I sank slowly.
Xu Jinyu has always kept these secrets tight-lipped, and no one else knows them except Chen Yuanzhao. Now that Ji Yu has noticed something, she doesn't want to hide it anymore.
"King Qin has a good male style, especially likes young men with beautiful eyebrows and elegant eyes. The eldest brother unfortunately fell into the eyes of the king of Qin, and in order to please the king of Qin, the prince decided to dedicate the eldest brother to the king of Qin in order to win the favor of the king of Qin. β
Xu Jinyu's expression was still indifferent, but his tone was a little cold: "The eldest brother learned about Yuan in the exam, and King Qin specially came to the mansion to congratulate him." The eldest brother couldn't refuse, so he had to go to Qianyunju to accompany King Qin and the prince to drink. He was on guard and deliberately pretended to be drunk, so he escaped. β
"Early the next morning, our mother and son hurriedly moved out of the Hou Mansion."
This unexpected fact shocked Ji Yu.
Xu Jinyu raised her eyes: "Cousin, do you still want to ask me if you know anything about the matter between my aunt and the son?" β
Ji Yu's body was shocked, and she took a deep breath: "Since you said so, it seems that you have known it for a long time." β
Xu Jinyu admitted bluntly: "Yes, I guessed it a long time ago." I never told you, though. First, I don't have any evidence, and second, the son of the world is your brother-in-law. No matter how good the relationship between the two of us is, it can't compare to your brother and sister. If you knew, you would definitely question the son. I don't want to take any risks. β
Ji Yu was silent for a long time before asking, "Hanyu was secretly rescued by you!" (To be continued......)
