Chapter 260: New Funeral
Tan Wenshi stood at Du Qiutong's door, thinking solemnly, and at this moment, another maid came over and whispered a few words to Tan Wenshi, and Tan Wenshi's face became extremely ugly.
It turned out that when Xue Qianqian died suddenly and the Tan family was in chaos, the people of the Tan family actually found a sneaky guy at home, who was Xue Qianqian's cousin, named Zhuang Kaiyuan.
In the past, when Deputy Lieutenant Xue walked sideways in Meigong County, he brought a group of relatives around him alive, and the Zhuang family was also one of the families that relied on Deputy Lieutenant Xue to live, which could be regarded as a moment of glory. It's just that later, the Xue family was defeated, and Deputy Lieutenant Xue was transferred out of Meigong County, and the Zhuang family returned to the previous bleak situation.
However, this Zhuang Kaiyuan was used to living a good life, and he couldn't go back to that kind of poor life, and he was used to reaching out, so he couldn't support himself, so he came to rely on Xue Qianqian.
Speaking of which, Xue Qianqian and Zhuang Kaiyuan are the same age, and they also played together when they were children, so they have a bit of a friendship. Therefore, Xue Qianqiannian took care of Zhuang Kaiyuan from time to time in terms of family affection and past friendships.
This Zhuang Kaiyuan doesn't know where he got some spices, and now he mainly lives by reselling spices, and Zhuang Kaiyuan's main customer is Xue Qianqian. Zhuang Kaiyuan was used to being lazy, and he couldn't bear the bitterness of running around and shouting, so every time he bought spices, he cheekily came to Tan's house to find Xue Qianqian, and resold the spices to Xue Qianqian at a high price.
Xue Qianqian was also a little annoyed by him, but after all, it was a relative, so it was not good to refuse directly.
Moreover, since Deputy Lieutenant Xue was transferred, Xue Qianqian is considered unrelated in Meigong County, and her status in the Tan family is not as good as before.
It's just that this Zhuang Kaiyuan is really not a thing, Xue Qianqian takes care of it like this, but Zhuang Kaiyuan is still muddy and can't support the wall, except for adding a burden to Xue Qianqian, he can't help Xue Qianqian at all.
Just when Xue Qianqian had an accident, this Zhuang Kaiyuan was found to appear in the Tan Mansion, and described him as sneaky, as if he had done something wrong. Without saying a word, the subordinates of the Tan family united to detain Zhuang Kaiyuan and locked him in the treasury first.
After that, the subordinates of the Tan family searched Zhuang Kaiyuan's belongings, but unexpectedly, they found three indiscriminate Huanhao pills in Zhuang Kaiyuan's bag!
And Zhuang Kaiyuan insisted that the good medicine in his baggage was brought by Xue Qianqian......
Tan Wenshi stood at Du Qiutong's door and thought for a while, his face became more and more ugly, and then he didn't enter Du Qiutong's house, but went directly to see Zhuang Kaiyuan.
Zhuang Kaiyuan had three kinds of medicine in his baggage, and Du Qiutong asked the maid not to speculate whether Xue Qianqian was cheating, and the piles were placed in front of Tan Wenshi, and the facts seemed to be obvious.
Tan Wenshi had just walked to the door of the warehouse, and before he could walk in, a maid came over from the main courtyard and whispered to Tan Wenshi: "Master, when I was carrying my wife's body just now, this thing suddenly fell out of my wife's underwear. ”
Tan Wenshi took it and took a look, only to see that it was a jade pendant. The color of that jade pendant is not good, and at a glance, you can see that it must not be something that Xue Qianqian can look at, since it is not Xue Qianqian's thing, it must be given to Xue Qianqian by others. And Xue Qianqian is in her underwear, which shows that it must be an extremely important object.
The fineness of this jade pendant is not good, and it is carved with a pattern of glory and wealth, which is very in line with Zhuang Kaiyuan's background and taste. With Zhuang Kaiyuan's worth, if you want to wear a jade pendant to be elegant, Bacheng will choose such a jade pendant.
If it is really Zhuang Kaiyuan's jade pendant that appears in Xue Qianqian's underwear, this means that it ...... Tan Wenshi was so angry that he trembled!
The Huanhao medicine in Zhuang Kaiyuan's baggage, the rumors about Xue Qianqian's eavesdropping that Du Qiutong had drunk, and the jade pendant that was transferred from Xue Qianqian's underwear...... All of this seems to confirm each other! Xue Qianqian dared to ......
The little guilt and pity that Tan Wenshi had just had just now disappeared, leaving only shock and hatred for letting Xue Qianqian come back to life and hacking the other party to death with a knife in his own hands!
Even the shrewd Tan Wenshi was so angry that he was stunned for a while, and after reacting, he planned to take Zhuang Kaiyuan to report to the official, and to send Zhuang Kaiyuan to justice!
At this moment, a coquettish voice sounded from behind him, it was Du Qiutong's tender voice: "Master ......"
Tan Wenshi turned his head and saw the woman behind him standing behind him with a worried face, the woman's eyes were like autumn water, on her thin body, her stomach was slightly bulging, and it was Tan Wenshi's own flesh and blood inside.
Tan Wenshi remembered Xue Qianqian's child before, and suddenly even suspected the blood of Xue Qianqian's flesh and blood, at that moment, Tan Wenshi was even a little glad that Xue Qianqian's child was gone, otherwise, wouldn't that child become Tan Wenshi's lifelong doubt?
Tan Wenshi couldn't help frowning, and said to Du Qiutong: "Why are you here?" Why don't you get a good rest? Have you seen a doctor? ”
"I don't care, I'm just worried about my mother. My mother just passed out, and I don't know what happened now...... Ahem...... If I don't look at my mother in person, I can't rest assured......" Du Qiutong couldn't help coughing and said sincerely.
"You're pregnant, so it's important to take care of yourself." Tan Wenshi said as he stared at Du Qiutong's stomach in a daze, with a complicated expression.
Du Qiutong smiled and said firmly: "It's okay, because I believe that our children will definitely fight for me, and for my father." ”
Tan Wenshi's face was still not happy, but under Du Qiutong's earnest gaze, he still raised his hand and stroked Du Qiutong's stomach.
After Deputy Lieutenant Xue was transferred, although there was still the Xue family in Meigong County, because Deputy Lieutenant Xue was no longer in power, he was much less interested in Xue Qianqian. Now Xue Qianqian died suddenly, and the cause of death is suspicious, and there is no Xue family to argue for her.
However, many Zhuang family members came over and complained about Zhuang Kaiyuan, who was locked up by Tan Wenshi, and asked Tan Wenshi to release Zhuang Kaiyuan quickly.
Therefore, just as the end of this year was approaching, Xue Qianqian, a big living person, suddenly disappeared, and she couldn't even explain the cause of death, but she didn't even have anyone to appeal for her. On the contrary, it was Ningxia Qing, who was not related to him, and after hearing the news, he felt a chill in his heart.
Ningxia Qing doesn't like Xue Qianqian, but she doesn't hate it. In the previous life, Ningxia Qing and Xue Qianqian also got along for a long time, but now that I heard that Xue Qianqian passed away suddenly, although Ningxia Qing did not grieve for this, her heart always couldn't help but feel empty, as if she was not in decline for Xue Qianqian.
What Ning Ningqing heard was that Xue Qianqian had an affair with others, but for some reason there was a dispute, and Xue Qianqian committed suicide by throwing herself into a well in a fit of anger.
Ningxia Qing couldn't believe it. Whether it is in the past life or in this life, Xue Qianqian's love for Tan Wenshi, Ning Ningqing sees it in his eyes. Xue Qianqian is domineering, has no one in her eyes, and behaves inappropriately, but even if she is so bad, Ningxia Qingdu never thinks that such a thing as cheating will have something to do with Xue Qianqian.
When Ning Xia Qing heard this, she really felt incredible. She didn't even dare to think deeply.
The only thing Ningxia Qing can do is to put a stick of incense for Xue Qianqian, even if it is the love of Tan Wenshi's wife and concubine in his previous life.
Xue Qianqian's funeral was simple. Because it is now nearly the end of the year, the funeral is always difficult to rank after the year, so on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Xue Qianqian was about to be carried away from the Tan family in a hurry before she was even seventh.
Early in the morning when Xue Qianqian was carried out, Ning Ningqing, who wanted to burn a stick of incense for Xue Qianqian, boarded the door of the Tan family and stepped into this place that she was extremely familiar with in her previous life.
When Ningxia Qing arrived, Tan Wenshi was standing in the mourning hall.
Tan Wenshi was not dressed in white, but was wearing a black robe. The clothes made him quite handsome, but there was a haggard that could not be ignored. The color is gentle to the extreme, like a dark night that never ends. Tan Wenshi is definitely handsome, otherwise there would not be so many women who fell for him in his past life and this life.
Tan Wenshi looked back at Ning Xia Qing, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, suddenly felt a little abnormal, and said thoughtlessly: "Are you here?" ”
Ningxia Qing knows Tan Wenshi too well. She knew too well what emotions Tan Wenshi's tone represented. She knew that Tan Wenshi was sad, whether it was Xue Qianqian's sudden death or Xue Qianqian's possible cheating, Tan Wenshi felt unbearable.
There were a lot of people around, which made Ning Xia Qing not know what to say to Tan Wenshi for a while.
It stands to reason that no one wants to participate in the white affairs on a day like the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, but Tan Wenshi is now the leader of the public office, and his business is running so well, and his status is far greater than back then. Therefore, even if it is a white matter, there are still many people who flock to it.
In front of so many people, Ning Xia Qing didn't know what to say to Tan Wenshi, so he had to nod his head, burn incense and enter the backyard of Tan's house.
For Ningxia Qing, every grass and tree in this backyard is very familiar, but it is a little unfamiliar. In the end, there are two lives, different people live in it, and the furnishings in the courtyard are also different, and everything is inevitable.
The reason why she went into the backyard of Tan's house was to find Du Qiutong. When she saw Du Qiutong, Du Qiutong was plain, her eyes were red, and she looked at the pitiful one.
"Cousin, I was really scared to death, fortunately you came to see me......" As soon as Du Qiutong's words came out, he cried.
"Okay, it's okay, it's still the child in your belly that matters most." Ning Xia Qing was relieved.
In fact, the reason why she came to Du Qiutong was because she had doubts and always couldn't let go of Xue Qianqian's death, so she wanted to come to find out a thing or two.
However, to Ning Ningqing's expectations, before she could start asking, Du Qiutong spoke first: "Cousin, you don't know, my old lady was so scared that day that she fainted, and I was so scared that I almost gave birth prematurely, who knew that my wife was ......."
Ning Xia Qing saw that he was about to say without asking Du Qiutong, so he knew that Du Qiutong had already rehearsed today's play, so he simply asked: "What happened to your wife?" ”
"Alas, I'm really hard to say, that kind of thing will embarrass my grandfather...... "Du Qiutong hurriedly put on a look of deep righteousness.
Hard to say? Ning Ningqing couldn't help but sneer secretly in his heart when he heard Du Qiutong's words.
Xue Qianqian's suspicion of cheating has long been rumored, and even Ningxia Qing in Huacaiyuan has heard about it, can it be Tan Wenshi himself talking about his ugly things everywhere?
Isn't it obvious who spread the word that Xue Qianqian was cheating?
"Cousin, don't you know how terrible the scene was that day, my wife's face was pale, after she fished it out of the well, her face was white, her clothes were wet and messy, and she didn't even know where to go with the cloak on her body, you must know that it is winter now! Alas, that scene is really ......" Du Qiutong said that he didn't want to talk about it, and pretended to can't help but talk to Ning Xia Qingnian.
Ningxia Qing suddenly had a chill.
Was it a lake in the past life and a well in this life? What is the difference between Xue Qianqian in this life and Ningxia Qing in her previous life?! Xue Qianqian is afraid that she will be as dead as Ningxia Qing in her previous life, and in her previous life, Du Qiutong is probably the same, after killing Ningxia Qing, she poured dirty water on Ningxia Qing!
Ningxia Qing felt that he was very stupid, he was actually complaining about Xue Qianqian, and he actually hated Du Qiutong because of Xue Qianqian! She couldn't stop the stupid, unreasonable push of herself and others in her heart.
The more he thought about it, the faster Ning Ningqing left the Tan Mansion, as if he wanted to leave this disgusting Tan Mansion full of conspiracy and calculations as soon as possible.
It wasn't until he walked out of Tan's house that Ning Xia Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief, got into the carriage, and couldn't help but glance at Xue Qianqian's mourning hall, and somehow, he remembered Tan Wenshi's dejected expression when he saw Tan Wenshi in a dark robe in the mourning hall.
Xue Qianqian is Tan Wenshi's wife, and Ningxia Qing was Tan Wenshi's wife in his previous life. It was only at this time that Ning Xia Qing suddenly began to imagine what Tan Wenshi's reaction would be after she died in her previous life? Will it be as dejected as it is today?
