Chapter 169: I Had to

The small courtyard of the Shengping Station was temporarily occupied by Xiao Ze for a period of time in the study, and the room was quiet.

Xiao Ze held his breath and saw that faint ink was gradually showing on a plain white paper on the table, and turned his head to ask Zhou Manyun, who was standing aside: "This kind of paper smoked with secret medicine, can the characters be displayed faster?" ”

Zhou Manyun shook his head slightly embarrassed, and replied in a low voice: "I've tried, and the fastest is like this for nearly an hour." ”

Before being re-summoned into his study by Xiao Ze, she had no idea that her grandfather had given Xiao Ze such a letter.

Because he has been in contact with his grandmother Mo Zhishi who is hidden in Yanzhou, along the way, he not only has to prevent the Chen Dynasty's soldiers and horses from banning, but also has to be careful of the search and arrest of Hanguo and the Shi family.

Old lady Zhou would also write directly to Mo Zhishi, and these materials were complete in his study.

Xiao Ze glanced at his younger brother Xiao Hong without a trace, hinting that he would remember to take all the things from the Zhou family later. Since Zhou Xian had attached a small piece of medicine stone and a note to the envelope, he was obviously willing to share this secret with the Xiao family.

Zhou Xian was willing to spend enough money for this granddaughter. Thinking about the booklet sent with the letter, Xiao Ze's gaze as he looked at his future brother-in-law even deeper.

The booklet Xiao Ze has been secretly put away, the ink marks in it are new and old, and the handwriting is not carefully studied, and there is a clear difference from the books of Zhou Xian, purely from the perspective of a bystander, remembering the major events and small affairs of the harem of the court since the period of Wuzong.

The contents of this book may be old and meaningless to many people in the world. But for his father Xiao Rui, who has been entangled in what happened to the Xiao family in the past. He would have liked it very much when he got such a detailed booklet. Although I can't solve all the puzzles, I can always get a glimpse of the truth.

"The words are all out!"

Xiao Hong, who was standing at the table, whispered. Zhou Manyun beside him changed his face in an instant, as pale as paper.

Xiao Ze stretched out his hand to pick up the letter and wanted to read it, but Zhou Manyun, who was looking at a few keywords just now, had turned around and rushed out of the door.

"Manyun!" , Xiao Hong shouted behind him in a hurry, and the girl in front of him only rushed forward regardless of it, and her momentum was like an arrow.

"Old age and serious illness, time is short...... But I beg my granddaughter to stay in the room temporarily, and the love of all grandchildren and grandchildren will be fulfilled in the filial piety of Qi decline......"

"There must be a valid reason to postpone the marriage period...... You just go. Grandpa has his own way...... It's enough to push back a year to ......", the words that the old lady has said in the past few days and the desolate sadness revealed are spinning in Zhou Manyun's mind like a marquee.

personally delivered the letter, and waited for Xiao Ze to finish reading it before returning home to report it, and it took an hour to show the blank letterhead...... The piles are strangely linked together, revealing the cruel facts she will face.

Things shook in front of him in tears, and Man Yun stumbled forward.

"Zhou Manyun! Come up! The sound of horses' hooves rang out on the streets of Huocheng. Xiao Hong, who was chasing after him, didn't care about it, only shouted the name of the girl in the costume in front of him, and stretched out a hand on the horse.

Man Yun jumped with his hand, and was immediately hugged by Xiao Hong tacitly.

Two horses and two horses. The ideal of a beautiful woman sitting sideways in her arms was realized for the first time in public, but it was for the death knell to ring late.

End. It's still a step too late.

When the two of them ran all the way into the Cultivating Heart Hall, the courtyard was already full of crying.

"Sister Yun! Dr. Fang has come to see it. said that it may be that the indoor doors and windows are closed and the charcoal poison is not dispersed, and your second uncle's body is too weak to hold on. Grandpa, he was in a hurry, but the Tongqiao Pill he usually took happened to be gone, so he couldn't save it! Seeing Man Yun kneeling at the door of the upper room, sister-in-law Liu explained in a tearful whisper in her ear.

"I hurt ......", the unconscious muttering in Man Yun's mouth was blocked by Xiao Hong's hand before he could get out of his lips, and the two rows of shell teeth were bitten, and Xiao Hong's hand immediately had more blood marks.

Zhou Chen, whose eyes were red, gestured, and Xiao Hong hurriedly dragged the stupid and tearful Man Yun to the side of the study.

"Sixth sister! If you don't do your business, it was the Gao family who killed Grandpa and Daddy. Zhou Chen slammed his hands against the wall and whimpered: "We are the descendants of the Zhou family in vain, and we forced Grandpa to death without a chance!" ”

Zhou Ke only silently shed tears, and gave Man Yun a letter in his arms that Zhou Gui'an forwarded by Zhou Xian, and then walked out of the room steadily. Although Zhou Song is still there, he is already the eldest grandson of the Zhou family, and Zhou Ke must do his best to manage the funeral of his grandfather and second uncle.

In the letter left by Zhou Xian, it was clear that he was going to take Zhou Bai to commit suicide to apologize to his ancestors and ancestors.

It is a sin to teach a son to be an accomplice without a way, it is a sin to be unable to support his children and grandchildren to seek justice, and it is a sin to allow others to coerce and compromise grievances...... But in his letter, he also advised his children and grandchildren to endure for the time being, and to wash away the shame and humiliation, it is not necessary to retaliate against the murderer, but to live a good life, keep the family business, and strive for the revival of the Zhou family.

"Miss Six! The master asked me to bring you a sentence last night, so that you must listen to it and remember it. ”

I don't know how long I cried, but I felt a thin old hand similar to Grandpa on the top of my head touching the top of my head, and Man Yun raised his face with tears in his eyes.

Zhou Gui'an smiled and said: "The old lady said, remember to tell the silly girl that I chose to die to fulfill my wishes, and it has nothing to do with her. ”

"Grandpa!" , Man Yun couldn't help but pounce on Zhou Gui'an, who had also watched her grow up since childhood, and cried loudly again.

Zhou Manyun's hand was held by Zhou Gui'an and placed in Xiao Hong's palm, and the old man, whose body was even more bent like a shrimp, smiled, as if his feet were not stained with dust.

Most of the servants of the Zhou family are world servants, and the Liu family has been presiding over the feed for many years, although it is a time to deal with the funeral of the old lady Zhou's father and son, but according to the rules, it is also in order.

Zhou Manyun changed into a mourning dress with a wide collar and big sleeves in the Cultivating Heart Hall, and then looked at Xiao Hong, who came with her, and changed into the same as her.

"You don't have to." , Man Yun, who had collected his tears, choked up in a low voice.

"After all, you're married. The rules are also reasonable. Liu's smiled gratefully at the prospective sister-in-law who took the initiative to ask for a dress. Although there are many descendants of the Zhou family. But Xiao Hong was willing to keep a watch, and she also felt that the old lady's family affairs for the sixth cousin in a hurry were not too bad.

It's just to wait for the Zhou family mourning hall to be set up. After Mrs. Zhou and Zhou Bai stopped in the mourning hall, the Zhou family had ripples again.

Zhou Gui'an, who has been serving the old lady since he was a child, was found to have taken arsenic and died in his own room in Gengxin Hall, and the news of Aunt Bai's suicide by hanging herself from the beam came from the courtyard on the other side.

After a period of fluctuation, two coffins were attached to the hall, which made the relatives and friends of the clansmen who rushed to mourn after hearing the news couldn't help sighing.

"When Mr. Zhou died, he had loyal servants and concubines who kept festivals, and he had no regrets in his life!" , hung the undead in the hall, although he deliberately glanced at Xiao Hong, who was mixed in the pile of descendants of the Zhou family. Zheng Ru, who stepped out of the mourning hall, still commented on Gao Gong who came with him with emotion.

"Yes!" , with a serious face, Gao Gong endured the blood dripping from his heart, and responded in a deep voice.

According to the funeral news spread by the Zhou family, the death of the Zhou family and his son has nothing to do with the Gao family, but who has done it knows in their hearts. If it is not bad as expected, the old lady Zhou, who has the stubbornness and stubbornness of the Zhou family, will die, which must be related to the Gao family's forced marriage of the Zhou family.

"Brother Changde, according to the current situation, Ling Lang and Miss Friday's relationship may have some twists and turns. But Enqu has already written a letter of appointment for the matchmaker for the two families. I still hope that my brother can keep his promise! Zheng Ru turned around in front of the Zhou Mansion and respectfully saluted Gao Gong, and did not shy away from hearing the condolences passing by.

Zheng Ru, who didn't know that the Zhou family had a secret affair of repentance, was stimulated by the four coffins arranged according to dignity and humility in the mourning hall. suddenly had a little chivalrous heart, and wanted to ask for a guarantee for the weak girl of the Zhou family who knew that she was killed that night.

A guy who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures! As soon as I learned of the death of Mrs. Zhou. Gao Wei, who knew that he and the Zhou family were already about to turn against each other, gritted his teeth and glanced at Zheng Ru fiercely.

Mrs. Zhou was engaged to Gao Gong's second son, Gao Wei, and Miss Zhou before her death, and she was still a big matchmaker made by Zheng Ru and Zheng Enqu, the governor of Hezhou. Originally, the marriage contract that the two families of Gao and Zhou wanted to skip suddenly scattered in all directions along with the news of Old Lady Zhou's funeral......

In the post house specially cleaned up by the Huocheng County Order, the night candle shook lightly. According to Gao Gong's slightly sad face, the fluctuations of light and shadow are very terrifying.

It took a long time before he gritted his teeth and said to his wife Huang beside him: "Although the Zhou family is afraid that it will be difficult to get along in the future, Wei'er still married Friday according to the previous appointment. ”

"Marry her?" , Huang's eyes were full of incredible.

"If you don't marry, you will find out about your son's rape, and the Gao family will have no face to stand in the world, and Wei'er will be criticized for the rest of her life."

"My husband thinks well, but where will the Zhou family be willing to marry a daughter now? Today, I went to Yunhuaju to find my little sister, but she closed the door, saying that she was a new widow and a mourner, and she didn't want outsiders to be unlucky. Alien? My sister-in-law has now become an outsider in her mouth. ”

"The Zhou family refused to marry, but that little slut was willing to marry. Didn't you watch Zhou Xian die, her own grandmother committed suicide by hanging her neck, but she is still alive and well? After explaining in his wife's ear for a while, Gao Gong sighed: "It's inconvenient for me to stay here for a long time, since I went back to Yunzhou to arrange it first, you can discuss it with Wei'er here and act according to the situation." ”

Huang naturally nodded obediently.

Gao Gong let out a long sigh, his face softened, and then he asked about the whereabouts of his son, who suddenly disappeared.

"That cheap embryo surnamed Xue is actually in Huocheng. I can't say that the bad idea of forcing Friday to rape was also given by her! Although her son mentioned it at the time, Huang did not hesitate to follow him, but now that things are in trouble, she can't help but be angry.

Xue Sujun's affairs in Huocheng were also just found out after watching his son's mysterious whereabouts.

"How can you let him still associate with that scheming woman!" , Gao Gong frowned and drank, wanting to lead someone to kill Xue Suyun again.

"Master, forget it!" , Huang's tears fell to the ground, and said: "The concubine is also tired of that woman, but she is pregnant with the child of the Gao family, as long as I think of my grandchild who has no fate, I can't be ruthless anymore......"

"A loving mother is a loser!" Gao Gong snorted dissatisfiedly, but sat down in the chair again. (To be continued......)
