Chapter 054: A life in a hurry
And watch Yan return late and Li Yunhe played for more than half a day, but it was too late, the sun was oblique, and the boat happened to go around the whole distance. The two went ashore together, and they had been waiting here for a long time, and it was Li Yunhe's entourage. She led the two of them on their mounts, and the two daughters mounted on their horses. The two first walked along the road, and only halfway did they go their separate ways and return home.
Yan returned to the Malay house in the evening, and as soon as he entered Hanhe Street, he saw Jiuying waiting at the entrance of the street. She rode quickly, grabbed the reins urgently, and then there was a sound of horses.
"Nine warblers!" Yan Guiwan called her while jumping off the horse.
"Evening Lord, you're back." Jiuying said with a sad face.
Jiuying took Yan Guiwan's mount and said to the master: "Late master, something big happened in the house!" Gan Tangxuan's Bai Ziyan is dead! β
"What did you say?" Yan Guiwan suddenly woke up from the comfortable feelings just now.
Jiuying hurriedly told Yan Guiwan what she knew, and the master and servant quickened their pace to enter the house from the West Corner Gate. But as soon as they came in, they saw Xu Moqing also waiting for them here.
Xu Moqing frowned, and said, "Wife." β
Yan Guiwan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "What did the husband do when he ran out?" Hurry back to Taoyao Pavilion, and I'll go to Mu Li Building to discuss this matter with my mother. β
"I'm just afraid that your wife will act recklessly, so I'm here waiting for you to come back." Xu Moqing grabbed her sleeve tightly.
"Husband, you ......"
"Jiuying, pull your wife and go back to Taoyao Pavilion first." Xu Moqing said.
Although Yan Guiwan was very reluctant, she was still taken back to Taoyao Pavilion by Jiuying and Xu Moqing. Although nothing unusual was found along the way, there was indeed a strange atmosphere in the house.
As soon as the three of them stepped on the door of the Taoyao Pavilion, Jiu Ling hurriedly announced, saying that Shu Xiao had specially warned the courtyard not to talk nonsense. The group went back to the main hall and bolted the door.
Jiu Ling patted his chest first and promised Yan Guiwan: "Night Lord, I don't know what happens to other courtyards, but you can rest assured that we will never leak the slightest rumor." β
"When I came back from the house to welcome the evening, I just inquired that the master's mother had sent calligraphy and painting to report to the Bai family with Concubine Wen, and asked the Bai family to come to the Yan family to discuss quickly. But no one has returned. Jiuying said urgently.
Qiusheng and Tongsheng brought tea to everyone, and Xu Moqing took advantage of the situation and said: "Don't be too flustered, take a sip of tea first to calm down." β
Jiu Ling and Jiu Ying didn't dare to drink, Qiusheng walked over with a tea tray and persuaded: "Yingguan'er, Your Highness allows you, don't refuse." β
Jiuying saw that Yan Gui nodded late before picking up the teacup, and Jiu Ling also drank a cup of tea.
"Wife, you only need to understand two things: First, what will be the attitude of the Liu family towards this matter? Can this matter affect the marriage of the Yan and Liu families; Second, whether Bai Ziyan committed suicide or not, the official family will come to test sooner or later. Xu Moqing said calmly.
Yan Guiwan's face gradually sank, "Your Highness! Bai Ziyan can only commit suicide! There is absolutely no second possibility! β
It turned out that Yan Guiwan protected Yan Guilan like this! This is far beyond Xu Moqing's imagination. Xu Moqing was silent, he had already told her his analysis.
Yan Guiwan couldn't sit still, and walked towards Mu Li Lou with a flick of his sleeves. was so panicked that the nine warblers and nine spirits also followed. Xu Moqing shook her head helplessly when she saw them go away.
"Your Highness, the evening lord, they ......" Tong Sheng felt aggrieved for Xu Moqing.
"The wife is still too calm. Let's go along. Xu Moqing said and walked towards Mu Li Lou.
Tong Sheng stopped him at the door and persuaded: "Your Highness, think twice!" We wouldn't have gotten involved. β
"If the Yan family fails to marry the Liu family, it will definitely become the biggest joke in Kyoto. Now the Yan family is not a servant who has died, but a male servant sent in by the Bai family. How can I sit idly by? You don't want to be poked in the back by outsiders when you go out in the future. β
Xu Moqing's words were magnificent, but Tong Sheng and Qiu Sheng had already seen that he was just worrying about Yan Gui's evening. Qiusheng pulled Tong Sheng, Tong Sheng had to make way for Xu Moqing, and the two male officials also followed behind to go to the Muli Building.
Yan Guiwan came to Muli Building first, only Yan Guilan sat alone in the main hall. As soon as she saw Yan Guiwan, she turned her head over, and when Yan Guiwan stood still and watched her for a while, she had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
She slowly walked in front of Yan Guilan, "Lan'er ......" she wanted to say: "Don't worry, you will never be fine with me!" But she didn't say it.
Yan Guilan bit her lip and shed tears, and said aggrievedly: "I know that you all think that Bai Ziyan's death is caused by me!" But I really don't! Who knows why he can't think of going to death himself! It's dead, it's dead, and you're going to pull me on your back! β
Yan Guiwan didn't expect her to be so ruthless, she withdrew her pity and affection! She had heard others say more than once how Yan Guilan had bullied Bai Ziyan, and even once she heard the screams coming from Gan Tang Xuan. Now, Yan Guilan in front of him is indifferent to Bai Ziyan's death!
Yan Guiwan went straight to the cabinet, but she had just seen her mother when someone outside came to report that Calligraphy and Painting and Wen Changsu invited the Bai family back. Before the two nephews could say anything, they had to rush to the main hall of the front yard to entertain guests.
There are two people from the Bai family, one is Wen Changsu's younger brother Wen Changmin, and the other is Wen Changmin's wife Bai Zhan. The relationship between the Bai family and the Yan family starts with the Wen family. The mother of the previous generation of the Wen family was also a soldier under the command of Taiwei Zhu Zhichun.
At that time, Yan Leran was still a big soldier, and it was the Wen family's housewife who saved her life on the battlefield, and she survived. But then the Wen family's housewife died on the battlefield, leaving the Wen Changsu brothers helpless.
The Bai family is an old relative of the Wen family, but their ability is limited and they can only marry one Lang Qing to go home, so Yan Leran picked the remaining one to go back to the house to be a concubine. That's it, Wen Changsu came to Yan Mansion, and Wen Changmin went to the Bai family. The current head of the Bai family is Bai Zhan, there is only one old mother left above her, and she is often unwell and doesn't care about things.
Yan Leshi glanced at the calligraphy and painting, and knew that she had been scolded in the Bai family. Wen Changsu no longer had the same calm expression as before he went, it seems that the Bai family will not give up so easily.
"Zhanjun, Zhanjun!" Yan Leshi stepped forward and grabbed Bai Zhan and cried bitterly.
Bai Zhan struggled to shake her off and scolded angrily: "How can we hang ourselves if we are good?" Your Yan family, this is grass and people's lives! β
"Yan Guilan, why don't you hurry up and kneel down for your Aunt Bai family!" Yan Leshi said hatefully.
Yan Guilan knelt down at Bai Zhan's feet with a "plop", "Aunt Bai, it's me who is not good, it's me who didn't look at Yanlang." Yan Guilan cried again.
Wen Changsu kept giving Wen Changmin a look on the side, but Wen Changmin only covered his face with a handkerchief and cried, refusing to say a word.
"When you came to our Bai family to ask for Yan'er to enter the mansion, how did you promise me?" Bai Zhan did not forgive.
"Zhanjun, Zhanjun, I ......" Wen Changsu was speechless when he was forced to ask.
But the strange thing is that Bai Zhan and Wen Changmin did not ask to see Bai Ziyan's corpse, they just shouted with the Yan family in the hall. Although Yan Lesfam had tears in his eyes, he was very clear in his heart. Xu Moqing, who rushed from Taoyao Hall to Muli Building, and chased from Muli Building to the main hall of the front yard, also heard it clearly. He hid in the hugging building at the back of the hall and watched the situation unfold, thinking about how to solve the problem.
Yan Leshi wiped his tears, asked Bai Zhan to sit on the top, and asked, "Zhanjun, do you want to take a look at Yan'er's corpse first?" The official family will be able to come to the house tomorrow for an autopsy. β
Bai Zhan saw that Yan Lesam was the first to mention the autopsy, and he was so frank, guessing that Bai Ziyan should have committed suicide. But she still wanted to deceive the Yan family, so she said: "Your Yan family is not what it used to be, the late young master is the female concubine who married the prince!" The little aunt is also going to marry the family of the Imperial Doctor! Isn't the official yamen at the mercy of your family? Even if it happens, what can it be detected? It's not that your Yan family can test it as much as you want? β
As soon as Bai Zhan said this, Xu Moqing, who was hiding in the hugging building, grabbed the handle, rushed out of it in an instant, and scolded sharply: "Bold fanatic! openly slandered the Dongliang court, according to what you said, doesn't my Dongliang have no royal law? β
When the crowd saw Xu Moqing coming up from behind, they were so panicked that they all knelt on the ground, "Your Highness!" β
The man in front of him in "women's clothes" is the Nine Emperor Princes? Bai Zhan was shocked, and took Wen Changmin to kneel down for Xu Moqing.
Xu Moqing changed her usual routine and did not announce that anyone would get up. He glanced at Yan Guiwan, who was kneeling in the crowd, and quickly said with a straight face: "Bai Zhan, repeat what you just said again!" β
"Xiaomin...... Xiaomin doesn't dare! Xiaomin just casually opened up the river. Your Highness, spare your life! Bai Zhan trembled with fright.
Xu Moqing sat on the main seat and said intimidatingly: "Casual nonsense? Shoot oneβs mouth off? Do you regard Dongliang's royal law as child's play? Yan returns late! You get up! β
This was the first time Xu Moqing called Yan Guiwan by his name, and her heart was a little uncomfortable, but she still walked in front of him respectfully, bowed and crossed her hands and said, "Your Highness." β
"I want you to go to the yamen overnight and invite him over, and we will conduct an autopsy now!" Let's see if Bai Ziyan died unexpectedly or hanged himself! Since the Bai family has objections and is afraid that we will do something from it, then ask the Bai family to follow to the yamen, and she will designate which one to come over for an autopsy! If the Bai family still doesn't believe it, His Royal Highness will personally take you to the mother emperor to sue the emperor! β
This Bai Zhan was so frightened that his legs softened, and he kowtowed with a sad face and said, "Your Highness! Xiaomin doesn't dare! Xiaomin doesn't dare! β
"Don't you dare?" Xu Moqing said and slapped the table hard.
Yan Guiwan stood in place and looked at Xu Moqing who was sitting opposite, her eyes were full of gratitude, and she seemed to have a little more admiration.
Yan Leshi saw that the fire was almost over, so he raised his head and spoke: "Your Highness......"
"Mistress, what do you have to say?" Xu Moqing still didn't let her get up.
"Your Highness, Bai Ziyan died in the Yan family, and the Yan family has an unshirkable responsibility. Anyway, Ziyan's funeral affairs are in charge of the child's affairs in our Yan family, and the coffin board must be the best, and I will also allow him to enter the main grave of our Yan family. β
Yan Leshi waved his hand, and Shuyu sent someone to bring in a box of silver with white flowers. She continued: "These are what our Yan family should give to the Bai family. Please accept it, and we can't break off the relationship between the two families in the future. β
Seeing this, Bai Zhan shook his head and didn't dare to accept it, Yan Leshi persuaded again: "A good Lang'er is gone, where are parents who don't feel heartache." Accept these exhibitors! Then, if Zhanjun wants to see Yanlang's corpse, he can also go to ask him to do it in the evening. Our Yan family recognizes it! β
Things have come to this point, and Bai Zhan doesn't dare to make a big deal about it anymore. She originally wanted to use Bai Ziyan's death to blackmail the Yan family, but she never expected that this Nine Emperor Princes would actually come forward, so she was only blamed for being caught by the Yan family in a hurry and led by the nose. She looked at the silver in the box and nodded silently.
