Zhang, Zhao Zhuo and Mi have already packed most of their luggage, and they have all packed their boxes, and when they ordered something in the list booklet, Zhao Xiu sat aside and "played", listening all the way, they only felt that their future life would definitely not be poor.

But her cheap uncle, that is, the new marquis and his wife, did not send over the contract and silver obtained by her father Zhao Zhuo's family, and Mi began to worry: "They won't even have to pay for this little thing, right?" Zhao Zhuo frowned and said, "It shouldn't be, Brother Zongfang Yu is still there." ”

Mi sighed: "What about the eldest master of the sect? Aunt Qian is his own aunt, and she married the county grandfather under the old lady of the sect back then, if it wasn't for the old lady who came back alive, Aunt Qian would have been corrected, and the new marquis is the two aunts and cousins of the old man of the sect, so he naturally helped over there. ”

Zhao Zhuo was also a little worried when he heard this, and looked at Zhang's family, Zhang's said lightly: "That day, the family was divided, not only Uncle Zongfang Yu was present, but also two relatives testified, Hou Ye's separation is unfair, we don't fight with him, so things won't make a big fuss, if he even has to be greedy for this little thing, I'm not a bun to be manipulated, it's a big deal to knock on the drum." It is true that he Zhao Jiong is the eldest son of the county grandfather, but I am also the main wife of the county grandfather! ”

Zhao Xiu looked at Zhang with adoring eyes, what was going on with this indifferent tone full of domineering? Is grandmother such a mighty person?

Zhao Zhuo and Mi also calmed down when they heard this, the former simply wrote a note directly, ordered the scribe to send it to the eldest brother, and asked him when he would send the deed and silver ticket over, saying that he would soon pack his luggage, take his things and leave, and would never hinder his eyes in the Hou Mansion again!

Zhao Jiong's reaction when he saw the strip, Zhao Zhuo didn't know, he never received a reply, but in the evening, news came that Aunt Qian's condition had worsened. She is already sixty years old, and she is irritable and irritable on weekdays, and likes to eat greasy, and from time to time she drinks a little wine, and her body has long been unwell, but this time she was frightened, and her mind was heavy, and for some reason she was so scared that she didn't dare to close her eyes all night, and she couldn't hold it after two or three days. When Zhang and the others got the news, they were a little surprised, but they also felt that it was reasonable.

On the second day, Zhao Jiong suddenly sent someone to invite his younger brother to come over to discuss the matter, Zhao Zhuo thought that he had finally relented and wanted to give Tian Qi a silver ticket, but he didn't expect to bring back bad news.

"He actually asked our family of five to accompany him to send his father's coffin back to his hometown, and then keep filial piety in his hometown!" Zhao Zhuo was simply angry, "We even cleaned up the house, and he still wants to say this kind of thing, obviously to force us to be cornered!" ”

Mi Shi was also surprised: "Master Hou is this confused? The emperor once said that he would let the princess of the county be buried in the imperial mausoleum! The first emperor has already been buried in the ground, and he has decreed that he is not allowed to be buried with him, so the emperor's intention is naturally to wait for the future......" She paused, "If it weren't for that, we would have sent the coffin of the county grandfather back to our hometown long ago, how could it be placed in the family temple outside the city?" ”

Zhang also felt that something was wrong, and besides, she was a widow, so it was impossible to hide this kind of heavy decision from her. Why would Zhao Jiong rather give up the glory of his father's burial in the imperial mausoleum, but also send their family of five back to their hometown? Could it be that he was so jealous of them that he would not allow them to live in the same city with him?

Zhang stood up suddenly: "No, I have to ask this matter clearly!" called his son: "You go with me, I want to ask the new marquis, who is the master of his decision?!" ”

Zhang took his son to question his stepson, Mi stayed in the house, only felt panicked, went to the side room to look, and then took his son back to see his daughter, put the two children to play together, she sat by the side for a long time, but never saw her husband and mother-in-law come back, and her heart was even more bottomless.

At this time, Jiang Shi came over.

As soon as she entered the door, Zhao Xiu noticed that she quickly glanced around the house, probably didn't see Chuncao, and frowned slightly.

Since yesterday's incident of the fake message, Chuncao knew Jiang's intentions, and as soon as she heard that she was coming, she avoided it, so she was naturally not here.

When Mi saw Jiang's family, his attitude was quite welcoming, but because he was uncertain, he brought it out on his face. Jiang asked her, "But are you worried about going back to the south?" ”

Mi has met a bosom friend: "Exactly! As I said before, for some reason your mother-in-law changed her mind. We have already bought a house in Kyoto, and we have packed it up, so we can move in at any time. But your parents-in-law want us to go back to our hometown in the south, and all this will be in vain! Do you know what they mean? ”

Jiang naturally knew the truth of the matter, but it was impossible to tell Sù Mi Shi the truth, so he fooled her with words: "I heard that it seems that last night, the county grandfather gave Hou Ye a dream, saying that he missed his hometown and wanted to go back. Leaves fall back to the roots, and the original is also common sense. Although the emperor's grace is immense, he is only forty years old today, and God knows how many years he will have to wait? Could it be that the county grandfather was left alone in the family temple? Those glories are actually empty, and the most important thing is to let the old man get his wish fulfilled, which is filial piety. Does the second aunt think that her nephew and daughter-in-law are right? ”

Although Mi Shi felt that her words could not be said wrong, there was always such a strange energy. If the county grandfather really wants to be buried back to his hometown in the spirit of heaven, why does he only give Hou Ye a dream, and not mention Hou Ye's poor treatment of his stepmother and younger brother? Besides, the emperor has sent a message to the county grandfather to be buried, and the Zhao family has violated the holy will without authorization and sent the coffin of the county grandfather back to his hometown, so they are not afraid of the emperor's wrath? If the emperor insists on burying the prince of the county in the future, will it be possible to dig out his old man's coffin from the ground and transport it back to the capital?

Mi asked Jiang: "In any case, this is a big matter, and the Hou Ye should not have decided it without consulting the old lady and asking the emperor for instructions." Could it be that there is no one around Hou Ye to persuade him? She looked at Jiang deeply: "I don't know what my sister-in-law said?" ”

What else would Niu say? Jiang Shi hid the smugness in his heart, and did not intend to say that this decision was actually made after she found a reason to persuade the Niu family, and the Niu family let Zhao Jiong speak. She lowered her eyes: "I just heard about it, and I don't know the details." My aunt also knows that Brother Ze'er is sick these days, I have to take care of him, and I have a girl to take care of, where do I have the leisure to ask about other things? ”

I didn't bother to ask about other things, but I had the leisure to come and visit the door!

Mi scolded in his heart, and he didn't have the heart to say anything to her anymore. I thought she was different from before, and she still had a conscience, but I didn't expect her nature to be difficult to change, don't look at her yesterday with tears and snot for their second room, if you really encounter something, isn't it the same as standing by?

Jiang Shi said goodbye not long after, and said casually before leaving: "Although the Hou Ye intends to send the coffin of the county grandfather back to the south for burial, but the old aunt and grandmother are still sick, I am afraid that I will not be able to move for ten days and a half months, and it is impossible for our Zhao family to transport the coffin away quietly, and we must inform the palace." If the old lady is really unhappy, why not stay for a few more days and grind slowly with the Hou Ye and Mrs.? ”

Mi was stunned, thoughtful.

Zhang and Zhao Zhuo came back when they were close to dinner, and they knew by looking at their faces that they failed to take advantage of Zhao Jiong. Mi hurriedly handed over the child to the nurse, and rushed forward to tell Jiang what he said one by one. Zhao Zhuo began to have hope again: "By the way, if we can't help him, simply tell the palace, please let the emperor decide!" ”

Zhang frowned again, she felt that Jiang's words seemed a little strange...... But I can't tell what's wrong. Looking at Zhao Jiong's resolute attitude today, it doesn't seem like she can be persuaded by grinding for a few days, so what is the difference between her mother and son staying for a few more days? Besides, listening to Niu's tone, it seems that he doesn't plan to let them move out, and wants them to follow Zhao Jiong and his party back to their hometown directly, is this because they are worried that after their mother and son leave the Hou Mansion, they will make the fact that Zhao Jiong is unfilial and unfilial to the public?

Hmph, if you have the courage to do this kind of thing, you don't have the courage to let people know, and you don't feel that something is wrong when you do it?

Near the end of the evening, news came that Aunt Qian and Grandma were dying. Although she is not young and her condition is menacing, it is still very surprising that she is so dangerous so quickly. Zhang thought that she would only get sick once, and she would not be in the way of her life, but she didn't expect that she would die.

Aunt Qian went in the middle of the night, and according to the person who served her in front of her, she had only one wish before she died, which was to be buried with the county grandfather.

Zhang was furious.

I see! Zhao Jiong insisted on transporting the coffin of the county grandfather back to his hometown in the south for burial, which was the idea! The county grandfather Yuan and the Qin family had already entered the soil in Fengxian's hometown, and no one knew that there was a meaning of burying the county grandfather today, so I didn't think about it so much, and the only one who would be buried with the county grandfather in the future was her, the stepfamily who married later. Zhao Jionggan took the risk of disobeying the holy decree to transport his father's coffin back to his hometown, obviously seeing that his biological mother's time was short, he planned to take advantage of a loophole and let her be buried with his father. When Zhang's stepfamily is a hundred years old, I am afraid that there will be no place for her burial in the grave of the county grandfather. How sinister Zhao Jiong's intentions are?!

As soon as Mi Shi heard his mother-in-law's thoughts, he suddenly realized: "What Jue's daughter-in-law said turned out to mean this!" She actually knew her in-laws' intentions for a long time, but it was not easy to say it directly, so she hinted vaguely! ”

Zhang snorted coldly: "Even their daughters-in-law can't get used to it, it can be seen how ridiculous they are!" No, I'm going to have to mess with them about this! If they are stubborn, I will go and sue the king!" ”

Zhao Xiu was worried on the side, their family seemed to be still on other people's territory, grandmother said that she was going to sue the royal court, was she not afraid that she would be locked up before the door came out? And that Jiang family, so he didn't remind them so kindly!

Zhao Zhuo hesitantly proposed a suggestion to Zhang's family: "You tell them directly, they won't listen, since my nephew and daughter-in-law are interested in helping us, why don't you let her think of ideas?" ”

Mi Shi snorted: "She has always been a wise person to protect herself, and it is just a hint or two, how can she help?" ”

Zhang's face was calm, and Zhao Zhuo and Mi also began to worry.

Zhao Xiu thought about it, suddenly felt something, looked up at Chuncao, and saw that Chuncao's face was full of struggle, but he quickly made a decision, showing a resolute expression.

She rushed to the center of the room and fell to her knees with a thud: "Madam, second master, second wife, the slave has something to come back!" ”
