Chapter 90: Firelight
Before the patriarch of the Wang family had made a decision, Cheng Wang had already received the news and knew that her old mother was dying.
After a few days of trouble, Cheng Wang had calmed down. When she heard that Wang Meiru and the two sisters met in front of the gate of Chengenhou's Mansion, she was even more remorseful. If she hadn't been grounded and her brother had gone to the funeral, she would definitely have to go with her, so that she could stop her niece from doing something stupid in time!
It was the Pingnan Bo Mansion and the Ning Guohou Mansion that harmed their Wang family, the Cheng'en Marquis Mansion and the Empress Cao in the palace were certainly responsible, but they were not the culprits, Wang Meiru wanted to disgust people, why didn't he take a few more steps and go to the gate of the Pingnan Bo Mansion to disgust them? is so impulsive, but the whereabouts of Wang Angui's remains are unknown, and the Chengenhou Mansion and the second room of the Cao family have a big enmity with the Wang family, and the news spreads into the palace, even the prince may be dissatisfied, what's the point? !
Cheng Wang learned from the pain, and very quickly asked a pair of children to go to her husband to intercede for herself, saying that she would not make trouble again. Cheng Li is surprisingly ruthless, where is she his opponent? Now that Wang Angui is dead, no matter how much trouble she makes, she can't save him, so it's better to think more about the people who survived.
Wang Angui's body always has to be buried in the ground, the old mother's funeral must also be handled well, and the younger sisters-in-law and nieces and nephews, if they really can't avoid the fate of exile, which border city will they be sentenced to exile? How will this be arranged? How do you live after you go to the border city? Who to find to protect the young and beautiful nieces? How will you return to Beijing in the event of an amnesty in the future? These things are to be arranged.
If Cheng Wang's family has been grounded, she will not be able to provide any help to her parents' relatives, so who will they rely on? Even if she has more resentment in her heart, she must distinguish which is more important.
If the Cao family is lucky enough and ruthless enough, the crown prince is very hopeful to succeed to the throne within a few years and grant amnesty to the world. At that time, if Wang Meiru can still keep her beauty and innocence, and the prince has not forgotten his love, maybe he will summon her into the palace, and then the Wang family will have the day when they will make a comeback!
At that time, those who owe their sisters and brothers, who hurt her brother Wang Angui, will be treacherous and fall into the ground...... Don't think about it!
Cheng Wang was ruthless and tried his best to please her husband. After all, Cheng Li and her have been a loving couple for many years, and they were relieved to see that she had accepted her fate and would not cause trouble to herself anymore. His mother-in-law has always been good to him, he killed his brother-in-law with his own hands, cut off the incense of the Yue family, and felt a little guilty in his heart. Mrs. Ning Guohou was grinding by him for an hour, but finally agreed, but sent a few other henchmen to follow her daughter-in-law closely, and did not let her daughter-in-law be alone with anyone, just in case.
Cheng Wang successfully met his old mother, and then met his brother-in-law and nieces who had not seen him for many days. Whether it is Wang Angui's wife Hong, or Wang Meiru's sisters, they are now a little out of shape, which shows that they have been tortured a lot in the past few days. Cheng Wang's heart was in great pain, but he was not easy to scold in front of everyone, so he had to write down this hatred, say a few words of comfort and comfort, and stay by Mrs. Wang's side.
After experiencing the pain of losing her son and the betrayal and persecution of her relatives, Mrs. Wang was already dying, and now she has seen her daughter for the last time, and she passed away with deep remorse and tears. Cheng Wang and Wang Angui's wife and daughter threw themselves on the side of the bed and cried. When they woke up, the Wang family had already started to handle the funeral, and everything was prepared in advance, so they didn't need to worry about it at all, and they were not allowed to interfere.
However, as the mother of sinners, Mrs. Wang has cut off the incense, and her daughter-in-law and granddaughter are about to be exiled, and the Wang family has long made up their minds to seek the remaining wealth of his family's house, so how can they do things for her?
The funeral was very simple, the specifications of the application product could only be said to be barely worthy of her identity, the mourning hall was also very small, and no monks and Taoists were invited to do things, and even the subordinates who were responsible for greeting guests were very few. The patriarch of the Wang clan sent a descendant of the clan to temporarily make a cameo appearance as a filial grandson, and put on linen and filial piety for Mrs. Wang. But this offspring is not officially passed - no one wants to risk becoming a family member of a sinner, and if he is sentenced to exile with Hong's mother and daughter, wouldn't it be unjustly killed? But in return, Mrs. Wang's dowry is about to fall into the hands of this descendant.
Originally, Mrs. Wang's things had already been said to be left to Wang Meiru. But Wang Meiru is about to be exiled, and the property of their house, except for the ancestral property and sacrificial fields, will be confiscated by the government, who can take care of the wishes of the old man? Taking advantage of the fact that the government has not yet attacked Mrs. Wang's body, the Wang clan naturally wants to take advantage of all the benefits that can be taken.
Cheng Wang looked at the cold and shabby mourning hall, and trembled with anger. She wanted to rush up to reason with the patriarch of the Wang clan, but was stopped by her brother-in-law Hong. She sensed that something had been stuffed into her palm, and her heart sank, and she looked back at Hong. Hong's expression was numb, and he said expressionlessly: "Forget it, eldest sister, even if you reason with them, what can you do?" Let the old lady go quietly. Then he turned and walked away.
Cheng Wang glanced at the people around him, slowly retracted his hand, and held the thing tightly in his palm. She didn't find anyone to make noise anymore, but asked the personal girl to go back to the Marquis Mansion of Ning Guoguo to get the silver, and paid out of her own pocket to upgrade the coffin of her deceased mother and the supplies of the mourning hall by a few grades. Although no relatives and friends came to mourn, she still wanted her old mother not to go too bleak and shabby.
On the way home, Cheng Li comforted Cheng Wang gently and considerately all the way, but Cheng Wang only bowed his head silently and wept without saying a word. But the note that Hong stuffed into her palm had been hidden by her, and she had secretly read it while she was changing clothes. Thinking of the above words, her heart was like a knife, but she also knew in her heart that this might be the only thing she could do.
The Cao family actually held a grudge because of Wang Meiru's calculations, and planned to put her to death on the way to exile. In order to save his niece and daughter, some sacrifices are inevitable. Hong can be ruthless, why can't she?
Cheng Wang's family never showed anything unusual, and finished the old mother's funeral very calmly. The Wang family detained the three mothers and daughters of the Hong family, and did not allow them to go out to see the old lady on the last journey, so as not to cause accidents, and only let the children of the clan who temporarily made a guest appearance as filial piety presided over the burial ceremony of the old lady Wang. Cheng Wang even accepted it silently, and did not express any dissatisfaction from beginning to end. This made the patriarch of the Wang clan breathe a sigh of relief.
After the funeral of the first seven days, Cheng Wang begged her husband Cheng Li for help, and on the way back from outside the city, he accompanied her to Pingnanbo's mansion to find Pingnanbo's wife Cheng to discuss a secret matter, and then returned to Ningguohou's mansion and obediently became a gentle and virtuous wife.
Immediately afterwards, on the same night, the place where the Wang clan lived suddenly changed.
The house where Wang Angui lived suddenly burst into flames in the middle of the night, and the flames soared to the sky.
