Wen is dead.

Yan's house set up a mourning hall, issued an obituary, and hung a white lantern at the door.

Yan Ran, Master Yan and Mrs. Yan tacitly accepted Wen's death.

Yan Qiyou has not been by Wen's side since he was a child, and he has been instilled with the idea of centrifugation with her by Mrs. Yan all the year round, and he is not close to her.

At this moment, he was feeling new about the white things he had experienced for the first time in his life.

He couldn't stay anymore, he was hungry for a while and thirsty for a while, and Old Madam Yan didn't want him to be tired, so she took him to other places to hide and be lazy.

The only one who is truly grieved by Wen's death is Yan Yao.

Yan Yao was pregnant, and she was so sad that she almost fainted from crying, and was soon sent back to her room to rest.

In the end, only Yan Ran was left to guard the Wen family.

If Wen's spring had knowledge, he was afraid that he would rather have no one to send him to the end, rather than Yan Ran pretending to be benevolent and righteous in front of her spirit.

Of course, Yan Ran didn't want to give filial piety to the Wen family as the eldest daughter, if it weren't for the fact that this funeral was still useful, she wouldn't have bothered to pretend to be a filial daughter.

Throughout the day, there was an endless stream of people who came to mourn.

Among them, there are the eldest princess of Minyang and the Duke of Dingguo, Prince Rui, Prince Qingguo, Marquis of Xuanping, the general of the hussars, the Zhao family of Qinghe, and the new official Cui Xiang and so on.

Concubine Yun, the queen, the crown prince, and the second prince sent people to come respectively.

In the end, a holy decree also came from the palace, and the Wen family was posthumously given the nickname.

The Wen family was originally a second-grade order, and the grade could not surpass Master Yan, so Emperor Sheng posthumously gave her the title to show her honor.

At this time, the status of the Yan Mansion has risen even more, and people who have never had anything to do with Master Yan have also come to the door.

Wen's mourning hall has become a vanity fair for dignitaries.

Yan Ran didn't care about this, even if the Wen family was posthumously glorified.

All men are dead, and all honors are for the living.

At night, the noisy and busy day finally passed, and the mourning hall was quiet, leaving only Yan Ran and Master Yan's father and daughter.

Master Yan was still dissatisfied with Yan Ran's cruel poisoning of the Wen family by borrowing his hand.

But so many nobles present today are Yan Ran's connections, and the holy decree to posthumously confer the title of the Wen family is an expression of Emperor Sheng's favor, and Master Yan can only be tolerant and flattering to her.

Master Yan said to Yan Ran earnestly: "Ran'er, you have been kneeling for a day, go back and rest!" ”

Yan Ran said: "You'er is young, Yao'er is pregnant, besides me, who else can guard the spirit." ”

Master Yan hurriedly said: "I'll keep it." ”

Yan Ran looked at Old Man Yan's dark eyes and haggard complexion, and said lightly: "Dad didn't seem to have a good rest last night, and it will take a few days for the coffin to stop. ”

Master Yan really didn't have a good rest, as soon as he closed his eyes, Wen's terrible and terrifying appearance appeared in front of him, making him feel palpitations, and he didn't dare to close his eyes all night.

Master Yan listened to Yan Ran's words, just as a word of concern, he was moved, and obediently went back to rest.

After Master Yan left, Qingxuan brought food to Yan Ran.

Yan Ran asked Qingxuan to eat together, but she only drank a bowl of soup.

Qingxuan persuaded distressedly: "Girl, you haven't eaten for a day, you only drink a bowl of soup, how can your body stand it?" ”

Yan Ran shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's okay to survive these few days." ”

Yan Ran said, and asked again: "Yan Yao's side, are they all arranged?" ”

Qingxuan nodded and replied, "Girl, don't worry." The slave arranged two little maids to deliberately mention the suspicions and speculations about Wen's death in front of the second girl. The second girl has doubts in her heart, and she will inevitably ask about the painting and embroidery that has been serving Wen's side, and then she will know everything you want her to know. ”

In order to buy the painting and embroidery, let her use it for her own use and not leak the news, Master Yan took her as a concubine.

He also claimed that the matter was arranged before Wen's death and that it had been celebrated.

Therefore, on the same day that the Wen family died, Master Yan accepted a concubine room openly.

In order to save her future, she will definitely not confess to Master Yan, but will only splash all the dirty water on Yan Ran's body.

As everyone knows, this is exactly what Yan Ran wants.

At this time, Xian Luo walked in and presented Yan Ran with a secret letter: "Girl, the letter from the son." ”

After Yan Ranzhan read the letter, he threw it directly into the brazier in front of him, and his face was uncertain with the flickering firelight.

Qingxuan asked, "Girl, what did you say in the letter?" ”

Yan Ran's eyes were slightly sharp, and he said: "Minyang entered the palace today to face the saint and proposed to the saint that although my entry into the palace should be postponed for three years due to filial piety, he can still be fortunate to me." ”

Qingxuan suddenly trembled with anger: "What did the eldest princess say, what did she think of the girl?" Although the girl was prescient and was guarding against this hand, she didn't expect the eldest princess to also kick it in! She can't be idle, what does this have to do with her? ”

Yan Ran sneered: "Of course this matter has something to do with her, she gave up such an important hole card as the Wen family, but she won't let me waste it in vain." ”

Minyang cooperated with Yan Ran to get rid of the Wen family because she took a fancy to Yan Ran's potential and hoped that Yan Ran would gain power in the future and give her a piece of the pie.

But she didn't expect that Yan Ran would directly kill the Wen family, and thus affect the matter of entering the palace.

If Yan Ran can't enter the palace as a concubine, then everything Minyang has done, wouldn't it be a loss to his wife and a soldier?

Of course, Minyang can't let this kind of thing happen, so to slander Emperor Sheng is to ignore the etiquette and law, and to let Yan Ran keep this position.

Qingxuan was very angry, but thinking of the unexpected things that Yan Ran might encounter, she finally became ruthless and put the food back into the food box.

Yan Ran saw Qingxuan's movements and asked, "Have you eaten it?" ”

Qingxuan's eyes were firm and said: "Girl, the slave understands your intentions, but the slave and maid can't help anything." Since you can't eat, the slave will accompany you and not eat! ”

Yan Ran looked at Qingxuan, who was stubborn but of the same heart and mind as her, and couldn't help but be very moved.

Xian Luo was also tired from following Yan Ran for a day, and she didn't eat any rice, and she was planning to eat something to satisfy her hunger.

But when she heard Qingxuan say what Fang Cai said, the hand she was holding the meat bun and was about to bring it to her mouth suddenly stopped.

To eat or not to eat, that's the question.

Xuan Yue, who was far away in the kitchen, didn't have any worries, but because of Wen's death, the revenge was avenged, and she was in a good mood and ate two more bowls of rice.

The third day of the coffin was followed by three days.

Master Yan invited a group of monks from Xiangguo Temple to recite scriptures and confess, and surpass the dead.

On this day, the Yan Mansion needs to close its doors to thank guests, and only the people of the Yan Mansion and Wen Chengyan, who is the in-law of the Yan Mansion, are present.

At the beginning of the transcendence, everyone mourned in silence with the chanting of the monks.

Suddenly, a monk fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing all over his body.

This change surprised everyone, and the chanting stopped abruptly.

The monk at the head slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were full of compassion, and he sighed: "This is a haunted soul!" ”

As soon as the monk said this, Old Man Yan subconsciously glanced at Old Madam Yan.

The eyes of both of them were shocked and uncertain, and their hearts were empty.

Yan Ran was extremely calm, she knew that this must be Yan Yao's trick.

Sure enough, Yan Yao immediately stood up and asked loudly, "Wronged souls? Could it be that my mother was killed? ”

Old Man Yan chuckled in his heart, and immediately said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about?!" ”

Yan Yao knelt in front of Master Yan and pleaded: "Dad, the master said that there is a soul!" My mother is lying in that coffin, her bones are not cold, who else can she be? My daughter begs her father to find out the truth thoroughly and catch my mother's murderer! ”

Yan Yao knew that with Yan Ran's current identity, even if she killed the Wen family, Master Yan would definitely defend her.

Therefore, Yan Yao chose to expose the matter in front of everyone, so that Master Yan could not protect Yan Ran.

Unexpectedly, Master Yan said: "Yao'er, your mother passed away suddenly, and my father's heart is also very sad, you must be even more unacceptable." But now is not the time to be willful, let your mother go with peace of mind! ”

In a few words, Master Yan characterized Yan Yao's behavior as being unable to accept the sudden death of his mother and making willful nonsense.

Yan Yao suddenly said urgently: "Dad, it was Yan Ran who killed my mother, and the painting and embroidery can testify!" Huaxiu has been serving by my mother's side, and she knows the cause of my mother's death best! Painting and embroidery, tell my father quickly, the murderer is Yan Ran! ”

Master Yan didn't give Huaxiu a chance to speak at all, he directly sank his face, and angrily reprimanded Yan Yao: "Huaxiu is the concubine that your mother gave me to marry before her death, how can you call her by her name?" Today is your mother's excess, but you made a big fuss in the mourning hall, framed the eldest sister without evidence, and committed hysteria again? ! ”

After saying that, Master Yan said to Wen Chengyan: "Yao'er has a heavy body, and she doesn't belong to her thoughts, but now she is too sad, so she is talking nonsense." Xunting, you can take her back first! ”

Wen Chengyan frowned, he was very displeased with Yan Yao's noisy behavior, so he wanted to take her away.

Yan Yao shook off Wen Chengyan and continued to beg Master Yan: "Dad, my mother has always been in good health, why did she suddenly fall ill?" There must be a conspiracy here, you must find out, you can't let my mother's death be unclear! ”

Master Yan only looked at Yan Yao coldly and didn't say a word.

Yan Yao suddenly realized that Master Yan may not be unaware of the truth, but he has already chosen to shield Yan Ran.

Yan Yao immediately looked at Yan Ran resentfully, met her indifferent eyes, and shouted viciously: "Yan Ran, you slut, poisonous woman!" I will definitely kill you and avenge my mother! ”

Wen Chengyan was even more annoyed, covered her mouth, and dragged her out.

Yan Ran looked at Yan Yao from afar, suddenly showed a provocative smile, and said three words with his mouth, I wait.

*

Seven days later, Wen was funeral.

Yan Ran was heartbroken and fainted in front of the tomb crying, showing even more grief than Yan Yao, her own daughter.

Yan Yao put all her thoughts on Yan Ran's body, sharpening her knife in her heart, planning how to end her life.

After the funeral, Yan Ran returned to the mansion, and before she had time to rest, a holy decree came from the palace to announce her entering the palace to face the saint.
