Chapter 66: The Venom of the Pit Viper
When Duanmu Yi saw it, he was immediately unhappy, and scolded in a deep voice: "What is this for?" Crying and crying, what rules are there or not?! ”
Contrary to her husband, Zhou immediately became nervous, "Mother Zhou, what happened?" What about the Fifth Young Master? ”
The fifth young master Duanmu You is the second son born to the Zhou family, but it is a three-year-old child, and Duanmu Yi and the Zhou family also gave birth to a son, but he died before he was two years old.
And the only aunt in the third room, the Huang family, has passed away, and now there is only one woman in the Zhou family in the third room, Duanmu You is the only seedling, and both the Zhou family and Duanmu Yi are very loved.
Zhou's mother is the nurse of the young son in the third room, but when she heard the question, she just cried and twitched and trembled, but she couldn't say a complete sentence, which made Zhou's so anxious.
The old lady and Duanmu Yi also realized the seriousness of the matter, "What happened, you should make it clear!" ”
was blocked by these words, but Zhou's mother said it, "Fifth young master...... The fifth young master was bitten to death by a poisonous snake. ”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, even Duanmu Qing didn't expect such a thing to happen.
The old lady who had seen the world was also pale at this time, and said sharply: "Where is it?" What's going on? Help me to see. ”
Zhou's mother simply crawled and walked forward with Zhou, who was also stumbling.
When the group walked to the splendid resentment, the maids and women inside had already begun to cry, and the cries one after another made this small piece of the world completely immersed in grief.
When Zhou heard this voice, he was so sick that he almost fainted, but fortunately, the two maids beside him were quick and helped her.
Being driven by two people, Zhou only felt like a puppet, his head was buzzing, and suddenly he didn't know where to give birth to a surge of strength, pushed away the people around him, and rushed to the door.
"What are you guys howling here? Who said that the fifth young master is gone? ”
Her face was full of anger, her eyes seemed to be about to breathe fire, and she suddenly looked like a terrible ghost crawling out of hell, and everyone was shocked by her roar.
But the old lady didn't care much more, and went straight into the house.
In the room with bright and clean windows, there are things that babies like everywhere, and a few maids who serve on weekdays have changed into plain clothes, and their eyes are red.
It's just that I didn't dare to cry anymore at this time, I just endured it alive.
The old lady was supported by Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Yi, and at a glance she saw Duanmu You, whose face had turned dark on the bed, and her small body was just a small lump lying under the quilt.
Although the old lady does not often take Duanmu You, she is really the flesh and blood of her body, and it is inevitable that she will cry at this time.
I thought of the difficulties of my youngest son Duanmu Yi's heir, only this one son at this time, and now when I encounter such a thing, my heart is as distressed as a needle prick.
Zhou heard his mother's suppressed cry in the house, and the little fire that finally ignited in his heart was instantly extinguished.
She didn't even know how she got into the house, she didn't know how she got to the bed, the child was held in her hands as if she was asleep, there was a lot of commotion around, there were many people talking, everyone seemed to be pulling her, but she couldn't feel it anymore.
It's just her and her brother in her world.
Duanmu You's sudden death made the atmosphere in the Yongding Marquis Mansion take a sharp turn, and the smiles on everyone's original faces disappeared, and they hurriedly prepared for the ceremony.
According to custom, the funeral of a child is not allowed to be held, and it is a small arrangement to have to be made, and parents are not allowed to attend, so it is not very lively.
"How could something happen to the fifth brother?" Duanmuqing sat on the pit in front of the window with a serious face.
"I don't know, the scene was chaotic at that time, and Li Yanding's affairs have basically stabilized, we have been protecting the safety of the young lady, and we haven't paid attention to anything else."
Mo Loss's voice was always calm, still in a statement tone, without waves.
Duanmuqing was in a daze at the time, and knew that someone wanted to harm her, but she didn't forget it, so she didn't worry that person would succeed at all.
After waking up, he found that it was Li Yanding who knew his motive for harming himself, in his previous life, he could turn against the whole family for Duanmu Zi, so why not kill himself for her in this life?
But what was the motive for killing Duanmu You?
Or is it that Duanmu You was killed by someone else?
It doesn't make sense, could there be two people who get along on the same day and kill two different people in the same way?
This matter was incomprehensible, and Duanmu Qing had no choice but to throw it away.
Because of the loss of his beloved son, Zhou's whole person lost his spirit, and he sat in the house like a wooden man every day, stretching out his hand when he opened his mouth and clothes for food.
Every now and then, others come to visit.
But he didn't expect to meet Zhao Yuhong.
"For you." The two walked together, and Zhao Yuhong suddenly took out a gift box with very exquisite carving.
"What are you doing with my stuff?"
Zhao Yuhong smiled and said a little embarrassed: "Last time on your birthday, I temporarily left Tianjing for some things, and this is a birthday gift for you." ”
"Your birthday gift has already been delivered, why send it again?"
didn't want Duanmuqing to say this, Zhao Yuhong looked even more embarrassed, "Those birthday gifts were prepared for me by my mother, I didn't know that you were the birthday of February 12, so ......"
Seeing that his hand holding the gift was stretched out, and seeing that he was sincere, he seemed a little childish when he refused like this.
simply let Cai Wei take it generously, "You gave me two gifts for my birthday this time, won't I have to get two back next time?" ”
Such a sentence instantly eliminated the embarrassment just now, Zhao Yuhong was also a lot more comfortable, and a bright smile appeared on his handsome face, "Now that he is also a rich man, why not have a few more copies?" ”
The two talked and laughed all the way, and finally got down to business.
"This time, your Yongding Marquis Mansion and the Qi State Mansion are really on the same page, but I'm afraid that the Second Prince's Party will also follow and be your enemy, so you have to be careful in everything."
Zhao Yuhong said this sentence sincerely, and the worry in his eyes was not fake, which Duanmuqing could see.
"Thanks, I see."
Shaking his head, Zhao Yuhong looked a little helpless, "As soon as I heard you say this, I knew that I was talking in vain again, and you didn't take it to heart at all." ”
Hearing this, Duanmu Qing couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
But when you think about it, what he said is not untrue.
Maybe it's because the final result of her previous life is nothing, so she would rather fight hard, but at worst, it's the same as her previous life, so she won't be afraid from the bottom of her heart.
"My father does not intend to be a supporter of any prince, such a dilemma will have to be faced sooner or later, rather than waiting until His Majesty is old, the various forces are big, and when the time comes, people will be swords and I will be fish and meat, it is better to let Your Majesty see the difficulties of our Yongding Marquis Mansion, but will pity us and give us some protection."
Zhao Yuhong didn't expect her to say this, and there was a look of doubt on his face.
Duanmu Qing understood what he meant, and smiled, but his eyes were very firm, "I am me, the Yongding Marquis Mansion is the Yongding Marquis Mansion, even if I do something, it does not represent my father's meaning." ”
A strange feeling rose in Zhao Yuhong's heart, hearing that the Marquis of Yongding would not support him, but he did not feel as frustrated as he imagined.
The atmosphere was a little dull for a while, and it wasn't until he was about to walk to the door of the Dancing Ink Pavilion that Zhao Yuhong suddenly burst out, "Qing'er, you believe me." ”
Duanmu Qing was a little surprised, and looked up at him with a little dazed eyes.
Zhao Yuhong didn't explain to her, threw down such a sentence, and ran away in a hurry.
Who knew that Duanmu He and Han Lingyan happened to be coming here, and when they happened to see this scene, they couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with the Nine Emperor Princes?" Why did you go in such a hurry? ”
Duanmu Qing said with a smile: "I probably remembered something important, and I was in a hurry to go back." ”
Duanmu He smiled and nodded and didn't ask any more, but Han Lingyan stared at the box in Cai Wei's hand with sharp eyes, "The Nine Emperors have a good taste!" This box alone is worth a lot of money, not to mention the contents inside. ”
For his words, Duanmu Qing just smiled and didn't match, this man is very dangerous, and he doesn't know what is hidden in his forever careless smile.
Since it has nothing to do with her, it's best not to touch it.
"Second brother come here, I have something to say!" Duanmu Qing let people serve tea, so he asked everyone else to retreat, and asked straight to the point.
"Qing'er, Your Majesty just summoned me to the palace and wanted me to go to the Northwest Camp." As he spoke, Duanmuhe's face looked a little worried.
Duanmu Qing smiled, others didn't know Duanmu He, but she knew, "Isn't this my brother's wish?" Although my brother has a gentle personality, he has always hoped to be able to give full play to his talents and lead the army to command, which is just right! ”
When he said this, Duanmuhe's brows did not stretch, "Now that the third uncle is an outsider, the eldest brother has gone to Luoyang Pass, I am leaving Tianjing, I am worried about ......"
"Brother is worried that the Qi State Mansion will embarrass us, right?"
Duanmuhe nodded, "If I leave again, there will only be the second uncle in this family, and I ......"
Shaking his head, Duanmu Qing stopped Duanmu He from continuing, "Brother is wrong, the Qi State Mansion is still using the means of small people to deal with our family?" ”
"It must be done in the court, if my brother really wants to protect our Yongding Marquis Mansion, the best way is to take root in the court and in His Majesty's heart. Otherwise, it would be a matter of time before I became a fisher. ”
Duanmuhe actually knew that his sister was telling the truth, but he was always uneasy when he left like this, and he vaguely felt that something was going to happen at home.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally nodded and patted Han Lingyan's shoulder, "Brother Jun Hao, you live in our mansion at this time, please treat this place as your home!" After I leave, I ask you to take care of my sisters. ”
Han Lingxi's gaze turned on Duanmu Qing, and then he hugged his fists and promised: "Feiyuan, don't worry." ”
Duanmu Qing knew what he meant by that glance, but he just thought that a woman like her didn't need to be taken care of at all, and it was hard for him to make such a look in front of Duanmu He.
Thinking like this, Duanmu Qing thought of Han Lingfang in the eyes of the world, uninhibited, elegant, casual and natural.
How the hell did he do it? How did you fool everyone for so many years?
So why did he show another side to himself that is difficult for others to see?
What is his purpose?
