An afternoon passed, it was getting late, and there was still no trace of Ji Ze.

Gu Caiping was unconscious, and the two midwives took care of her every step. Chaoxia brought two maids to the delivery room, Xu Jinyu and Ji Yuju were tired and went out of the delivery room together.

Ji Yu couldn't help but complain a few words: "Why hasn't the eldest brother come yet." What the hell was he busy with this day? What could be more important than giving birth to a sister-in-law? ”

The Grange is far away from the capital, and it is not convenient to pass messages back and forth. Ji Yu had already sent two groups of people to the house to deliver the letter in one afternoon. But the left and right didn't wait for Ji Ze.

Xu Jinyu had a vague guess in her heart, and replied casually: "The prince must have been stumped by something and couldn't return home, and he didn't know about his cousin's birth, so he didn't come for a long time." Anyway, my cousin-in-law's mother and son are safe, so it's good to wait a little longer. ”

Ji Yu snorted softly.

Xu Jinyu cheered up and said: "After staying up for a day and a night, we are all tired. Eat dinner first and get a good night's sleep. Wait until tomorrow and then ask someone to go to the Hou Mansion to deliver the letter. ”

I didn't close my eyes for a whole day and night, and Ji Yu was also very tired, so she nodded when she heard the words. casually instructed Chaoxia: "Let the kitchen prepare dinner." Today, the big guys have worked hard, let the cook cook more delicious food. ”

Chaoxia smiled and retreated.

Xu Jinyu saw it in her eyes and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

After going through so many things, Ji Yu, who was originally impulsive and never knew what it was to buy people's hearts, slowly grew up and became mature and sensible. It's much more pleasing to the eye than before.

It's a pity that Ji Yu has such an unscrupulous mother-in-law. I really don't know after the matter between Xiao Zou and Ji Ze was exposed. What a blow to Ji Yu

"Three, three, miss, no!" A maid came with a panicked face.

Ji Yu's heart sank, and she asked without thinking, "What's wrong?" Is there something wrong with him, big brother? "That's why you haven't come to the Grange?

Xu Jinyu's heart moved. Gaze over.

The little girl's face was very ugly, and she was trembling and speechless.

Ji Yu was already an anxious person, and when she saw the little maid spitting and spitting, she slapped her without thinking: "What did you say!" What are you doing like this. ”

The little maid was dizzy and teary-eyed by this slap, and her words were finally neat: "The Hou Mansion sent a letter, saying that the grange where the lady was recuperating went out last night. The Grange was burned to the ground. Everyone inside was burned to death, even Madame."

The little maid couldn't say any more, and wiped her tears with her sleeve.

Ji Yu's face turned white. His mind went blank, and his voice unconsciously sharpened: "What did you say? What the Grange is on fire, it can't be. You must have heard it wrong! ”

How could the Grange go off, how could the mother die!

The little maid responded with tears and weeping: "Such a big thing. How dare the slave speak. The mourners were outside. If the young lady doesn't believe me, ask it herself."

Before she finished speaking, Ji Yu had already run and rushed out.

After hearing the news of Xiao Zou's death, Xu Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and chased him out.

She'd waited too long for this day. Since the day she was reborn, she has tried her best to maneuver in every possible way. The secret layout is to take revenge.

Although it is not clear what happened. However, it must be inseparable from Wei Ninghou. How could a huge grange go off for no reason, and everyone died in the fire

The person who came to report the funeral was the first-class housekeeper mother in the Weining Marquis Mansion, wearing a filial piety dress, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Before Ji Yu, whose face was pale and pale, asked, the housekeeper's mother knelt down with a thud and cried loudly: "Third Miss, the Grange went on fire, everyone was burned to death, and Mrs. was not spared. The slave maid hurried to deliver a funeral letter to the young lady, and asked the young lady to mourn."

Ji Yu's whole body trembled, and tears welled up: "Impossible! How could my mother be burned to death. You must be lying to me. Mother will not die. ”

Ji Yu's body staggered, as if she would fall down at any time.

Xu Jinyu walked up to her and held her cold hand.

Ji Yu looked at Xu Jinyu with teary eyes, her eyes were full of pleading: "Cousin Jin, look at them, they are all lying and deceiving me." actually said that his mother was dead. They're all lying to me, aren't they? ”

The revenge has been avenged, and Xu Jinyu also has a sense of unreality. However, looking at Ji Yu's bloodless face, Xu Jinyu still said ruthlessly: "Cousin Yu, how dare the housekeeper's mother and maid talk nonsense casually about such a big matter." My aunt is really gone. ”

All of Ji Yu's expressions froze.

She fell straight down with a flower in front of her eyes.

Xu Jinyu caught Ji Yu without thinking, because Ji Yu's body was heavy, and she couldn't help but stumble back.

The housekeeper's mother whispered with red eyes: "Miss Cousin, a mourning hall has now been set up in the mansion. Master Hou ordered the slave maid to take the young lady back to the house immediately. ”

Wei Ninghou has really returned to the capital!

can give birth to a son like Ji Ze, Wei Ninghou is by no means a soft-hearted person. Without hesitation, he killed his wife who was once loved in every way!

All the people in the grange are dead, and what about Hanyu? Did you also die with the incense of the fire?

Thinking of Hanyu, Xu Jinyu's heart was heavy, and she cheered up and responded: "Immediately order, I will accompany Cousin Yu back to the Hou Mansion now." ”

The sudden bad news shocked everyone in Zhuangzi.

Only Gu Caiping is an exception, she is still in a coma and has not yet woken up.

Xu Jinyu's face was also a little pale, but her expression was quite calm, and she ordered everyone to carry Ji Yu into the carriage, as for the luggage and the like, she didn't have time to pack it up, so she didn't want to rush back to the Hou Mansion for mourning first.

The maids and ladies who were in a panic and had no owner suddenly had a backbone, and quickly acted according to the order.

Before leaving, Xu Jinyu was relieved not to let go of Gu Caiping, and deliberately knocked on the two midwives for a few words, and by the way, told Chaoxia to serve her closely at all times, and never leave Gu Caiping half a step without permission.

Chaoxia is also a clever maid with raised eyebrows. Suddenly, he heard a hint of strangeness, and his expression became solemn: "The slave dares to ask, does Miss Biao think that those two midwives are not appropriate?" ”

Xu Jinyu glanced at Chaoxia approvingly. said lightly: "I don't know if it's okay or not." It's always a good thing to be a little more careful, though. The safety of your cousin is up to you. ”

Chaoxia nodded solemnly.

Xu Jinyu got into the carriage. The coachman raised his whip and made a crisp sound, urging the carriage to move forward quickly towards the Marquis of Weining's mansion

When it gets dark, the gates are closed. The carriage entered the city gate in a moment before it closed, otherwise. You'll have to wait an extra night.

There was no one in the carriage to speak, and it was dull. Only occasionally a half-sobbing sound can be heard.

Xiao Zou is shrewd and ruthless. The government is strict. The maids and wives were trembling under the hands of Xiao Zou. Xiao Zou left suddenly, and Ji Yu, who was a daughter, was naturally the saddest. However, these subordinates may not be really sad. Most of the sorrow on the face is faked.

Xu Jinyu knew it, but she didn't expose them. Emotions brewing silently. I forced myself to shed a few tears.

Anyway. Xiao Zou is her own aunt. Xiao Zou died suddenly, and she didn't have the slightest sadness and was too unreasonable. You have to pretend in front of your subordinates.

Ji Yu was unconscious, and Xu Jinyu, who had red eyes, gently and carefully held Ji Yu in her arms.

The maids and ladies on the side took in this scene and couldn't help but sigh secretly in their hearts. Miss Cousin is really affectionate and righteous, and she endures sadness to take care of Miss Three.

It wasn't until the time before the hour that the carriage rushed back to the Weining Marquis Mansion.

The gate of the Marquis of Weining's mansion was open, and a white lantern hung on the door. The little guy guarding the door was dressed in plain clothes.

Xu Jinyu pinched Ji Yu's people hard: "Cousin Yu, the Hou Mansion has arrived." Wake up. ”

Ji Yu opened her eyes blankly in pain, and let someone help her get out of the carriage in a daze. The moment I saw the white lantern hanging from the gate. A thrilling spirit.

All the memories before fainting came to mind in an instant.

The Grange went off fire and everyone died

My mother was also burned to death by fire

My mother is dead

"Mother-" Ji Yu let out a heart-rending cry, used all her strength to break free from the two maids, and stumbled in.

The maids were startled and hurriedly chased in.

Chu Xia wanted to chase in without thinking, and the corner of his eye saw Xu Jinyu's complicated side face, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Miss, should we also go in." ”

Xu Jinyu was silent for a moment before she said in a low voice: "Don't worry, let's just walk in slowly." ”

Why?

This sentence almost rushed out of his mouth, and he endured it in early summer. Miss does this, naturally she has her reasons!

Xu Jinyu raised her eyes and looked at Ji Yu's back crying and running away, her eyes were extremely complicated.

Although she didn't do it herself, Xiao Zou could be regarded as dead in her hands. Even though Xiao Zou's family is not in a thousand ways, he is always Ji Yu's mother-in-law. Seeing Ji Yu crying bitterly and sadly, she didn't feel good in her heart.

So, let's avoid the scene when Ji Yu saw the mourning hall!

Xiao Zou's mourning hall is set up in Tinglan Courtyard.

All the subordinates in the house are dressed in plain clothes, and only the housekeeper mother and maid with a head and face are qualified to stay in the mourning hall. Ji Huan and Ji Yu were shocked to hear the bad news and rushed back. There are also female dependents of the same clan of the Ji clan.

The mourning hall was packed with people. Ji Yu didn't seem to see any of them, and rushed into the mourning hall crying, and threw herself on the black coffin. While crying and shouting for his mother.

Because there are no bones left of Xiao Zou's burned body, only a set of clothes worn by Xiao Zou before his death is placed in this coffin.

Ji Yu held her stomach up, and it was inconvenient to persuade her. Ji Huan stepped forward in person, with red eyes and comforting: "Third sister, it is inevitable that you will be sad when you encounter such a thing." But don't hurt yourself too much. Mother knows underground, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to be at ease."

Where did Ji Yu hear it, crying to death, and soon fainted again.

Ji Huan was prepared, and immediately ordered someone to help Ji Yu down to rest. When Ji Yu wakes up, she will change into filial piety clothes to guard the mourning hall.

At this time, Xu Jinyu also entered the mourning hall.

"Auntie, why did you go like this" Xu Jinyu choked and knelt down and kowtowed, her face full of tears. When he got up, his body shook slightly.

Ji Yu's eyes flashed with water: "Cousin Jin, please mourn." ”

Xu Jinyu responded by crying quietly.

The Zou family on the side couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward to grab Xu Jinyu, and retreated to the room outside the mourning hall.

Xu Jinyu wiped her tears with her sleeve, and her face was calm.

"Jin Niang," Zou's eyes were full of horror, and his voice trembled: "Today, Wei Ninghou suddenly returned to the house, and then came the bad news that your aunt was burned to death. What the hell is going on here? ”

Because of Xiao Zou's bad intentions, Zou has long been disappointed in this sister and does not want to have any more dealings. But when he heard Xiao Zou's bad time, Zou was still shocked and very sad.

Ji Huan and Ji Yu came back in the evening. Xiao Zou's mourning hall was personally led by Zou to arrange it.

Xu Jinyu didn't want to say more, so she said softly: "Mother, you have too much heart." It's certainly just a coincidence. ”

"Is this really just a coincidence?" Zou is not so easy to fool: "Your aunt was recuperating in Zhuangzi before, and the Hou Ye, who was far away at the border, suddenly returned to the capital, and then there was bad news"

How can there be no connection between them?

Xu Jinyu raised her eyes and looked at Zou deeply: "What if it's not a coincidence?" Could it be that Fei Niang planned to go to Hou Ye to ask the reason? ”

Zou was dumbfounded.

"How did my aunt treat me and my eldest brother, my mother shouldn't have forgotten!" Xu Jinyu's calm voice revealed a hint of coldness: "She has today's fate, and she is to blame." The inside story has nothing to do with us. We don't need to dig deeper, as long as we finish the funeral, we can leave. ”

"From now on, we can live our lives behind closed doors. The affairs of the Hou Mansion have nothing to do with us anymore. Wouldn't that be great? ”

Zou was silent for a long time before he sighed: "You're right. As soon as your aunt died, we were even further away from the Weining Marquis Mansion. I probably won't have much contact with each other in the future. We'll stay in the Hou Mansion for a few days, and when your aunt is buried, we'll go back!" ”

Xu Jinyu's brows furrowed and she snorted

Ji Yu woke up and cried, cried and fainted, and woke up again after fainting. I tossed until dawn, and I had no strength to cry. Just half-kneeling and half-lying in front of the coffin.

Everyone looked at it in their eyes, and their hearts felt sour.

When Xiao Zou died like this, isn't the saddest person Ji Yu?

The strange thing is that Hou Ye has never shown up. There is also the son of the world, and he doesn't know where he went, and he hasn't returned home

Ji Huan kept the mourning hall all night and was very tired. Ji Yu beside her, who is more than seven months pregnant, is more tired than Ji Huan. Ji Huan couldn't bear it in her heart, and persuaded Ji Yu to rest.

Ji Yu refused, and said in a low voice: "I'm going to find my father." ”

My father came back suddenly, and my mother died suddenly. The mourning hall was set up, but his father never showed up, which is simply strange. (To be continued......)
