Lu Qiwei heard that Concubine Xie and the mother and son of the King of Linchuan were going to join their grandfather to frame Xie Zheng, which could be described as unrestful, and after thinking about it all night last night, he finally decided to remind Xie Zheng that he came to the Hou Mansion early this morning, but he was standing not far from the Hou Mansion and did not go forward.

With his conscience on one side and his grandfather on the other, Lu Qiwei thought about it all night, but he was still in a dilemma, and now he was wandering left and right outside the Hou Mansion.

Xie Zheng had already copied the "Mantra of the Afterlife" a hundred times, Yuzhi was holding a bamboo basket on his arm, and the thick pile of silver paper was properly placed in it, following Xie Zheng, walking towards the gate of the mansion, and the You brothers were also walking behind Yuzhi.

Lu Qiwei was pacing outside the mansion, and when he saw Xie Zheng coming out, he hurriedly walked to the door and hid behind the stone lion.

Xie Zheng walked to the door and stopped, looked back and instructed the You brothers: "It's enough for Yuzhi to go with me today, you two don't have to follow, I still have important things to tell you." ”

You Xiao replied: "Lady, please speak." ”

"One of you went to the Linchuan Palace, and the other went to the Lu family, staring at the Linchuan King and Lu Ji, this time Xie Wei had an accident, it turned out that they worked together to calculate me, and now that they have succeeded, there will be action over there."

"Yes," the You brothers replied in unison, and immediately strode down the steps and went to do business.

Xie Zheng watched them go away, and then went down, the ox cart had already been prepared, and it stopped at the door, Xie Zheng walked straight to the side of the car, lifted the corner of his skirt and was about to step on Maza, when he suddenly heard a call not far behind him: "Deyin!" ”

Huan Ling took Zeng Qionglin to chase after him quickly, Xie Zheng looked back and saw that it was him, and called lightly in surprise: "County marquis? ”

The bamboo basket that the jade branch was holding was covered with a white cloth, which was obviously used for memorials, Huan Ling walked to Xie Zheng, and when he saw the bamboo basket, he naturally guessed where Xie Zheng was going, and he asked, "Are you going to the Gu family?" ”

Xie Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief, and only said lightly: "The "Curse of Death" has been copied, so I will send it." ”

She spoke in a calm tone, and then seemed a little cold.

Huan Ling thought that her cold attitude today was completely different from the enthusiasm and sweetness of yesterday, and she was a little disappointed for a while, but she only hesitated for a moment, and immediately eased up.

He comforted himself, isn't this how women are, changing their faces faster than turning a book, especially his Deyin lady's temperament is quite eccentric...... This is even more surprising!

"I'll go with you, I'm afraid that the people of the Gu family will make things difficult for you again."

Today, Huan Ling deliberately wore a plain dress, Xie Zheng saw it, and knew that he was going in the name of condolences, so she didn't say anything, and quietly stepped on Mazha and boarded the ox cart, just as she acquiesced.

Huan Ling also followed up, sat in the car, took out a cardboard card from his sleeve, shook it in front of Xie Zheng's eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm ready to say goodbye." ”

Xie Zheng glanced at him sideways, and only said, "You went to mourn your mother-in-law's son, why do you still have a smile on your face." ”

"I'm not laughing," Huan Ling glanced at Xie Zheng secretly, stretched out his arm again, and quietly put it on her shoulder, and then secretly glanced at her, and saw that she didn't react, so he simply pulled her and took her into his arms, and then continued: "It's happy to see you." ”

Xie Zheng leaned on his shoulder, did not reprimand him, nor did he break free, although he did not speak, but there was a smile between his eyebrows, which seemed to be very sweet.

Yuzhi boarded the ox cart, and the interested one didn't sit in, but only sat on the seat in front of him with Zeng Qionglin, watching him drive boredly.

The ox cart had already left the Hou Mansion, and Lu Qiwei had just appeared from behind the stone lion at the door, she watched the ox cart go away, and recalled that when she heard what the county lord of Hengyang said when he told her two ears and eyes to do the errand, she felt all kinds of feelings in her heart, and there were many shocks and more guilt.

It turned out that yesterday's incident was actually designed by her grandfather and His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan, in order to frame the county lord of Hengyang, but it is ridiculous that they actually sacrificed her brother Ziren in order to achieve their goal!

It turned out that the county lord of Hengyang, who she was worried about, was a fox who had become a fine and was very shrewd, even if she didn't report the news, people would always be on guard!

Can...... If she didn't know the county lord of Hengyang, she was really uneasy in her heart, the culprit of this matter was her grandfather and the king of Linchuan, in the final analysis, the county lord of Hengyang was always innocent, but if she informed the county lord of Hengyang, did she harm her grandfather again......

Lu Qiwei thought about it, looked forward and backward, couldn't help but have a headache, looked at Xie Zheng's ox cart from afar, and finally left.

Between conscience and grandfather, maybe she just chose grandfather for the time being.

Gu Yu's funeral matters are being done, in the end, it is a famous family, decent in life, and the same scenery after death, there are many people who have come to the Gu family to pay their respects in the past two days, and those who have a lot of friendship with Gu Jiulang, and those who have a bad relationship with him, and they don't even recognize him, they all ran over to cry and mourn, not for anything else, they rushed to the Gu family and now they are in the market, and they all want to come over and show their faces, just to know a few dignitaries.

Xie Zheng and Huan Ling and a group of four rushed to Gu's house, Huan Ling stepped forward and handed the worship post to the gatehouse, Yuzhi then took out Xie Zheng's worship post from his sleeve pocket and handed it over, the gatekeeper first saw Huan Ling's worship post, knew that he was the Marquis of Yongxiu County, and was about to invite him in, and then took the worship post handed by Yuzhi, and saw that it was the lord of Hengyang who came, so he hesitated.

"Wait, let the villain go in and pass it on."

After the porter finished speaking, he quickly walked into the house, Huan Ling saw the situation, and said in a low voice with Xie Zheng: "You and I go together, as long as I put in the worship post, why do you send the worship post, the Gu family regards you as an enemy, if you don't let you in, how can it be good." ”

Xie Zheng glanced at him and said coldly: "She dares not to let me in?" I'm here on command! ”

Huan Ling breathed a sigh of relief, but he was afraid of upsetting her, so he didn't say anything more.

The mourning hall was set up in the living room in the front yard, and the Gu Lu clan was greeting the distinguished guests of the scholar clan, the two housewives of the Yuan clan of Chenjun and the Wang clan of Langya, and the three women stood in the courtyard in front of the mourning hall, chatting about some things.

Mrs. Wang said sadly: "This is good, why did Jiulang have an accident, it is really a jealous talent, Mrs. Gu, you are very sad, don't be too sad." ”

Mrs. Yuan also cried, "Your Jiulang is a good child, I watched him grow up, I told you a while ago that I want to marry our family's ten mothers to him, I was ready to discuss with Lord Lang, but he suddenly went, it seems that my family's ten mothers don't have this blessing." ”

Gu Lu hid his face and cried, and said: "My son Ren does his duty on weekdays, and he hasn't done anything bad, but God is unfair, he is called to let people harm, and they all blame the county lord of Hengyang, she is a goblin who eats people and doesn't spit out bones!" Her brother killed my son, she still has nothing to do, and she is still happy there! ”

The more Gu Lu said, the more excited he became, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Yuan in front of him glanced at each other, and they didn't dare to help her scold Xie Zheng, in the final analysis, these noble ladies of the scholar clan were just polite on the surface.

Inside and outside the mourning hall, it was plain white, and there were all plain clothes in front of him, and the porter came over, and looked around for a while before looking for Gu Lu's family, and still heard her scolding Xie Zheng, and followed the voice to find it.

"Mistress, the Marquis of Yongxiu County is here."

Gu Lushi was stunned for a moment, and then wiped his tears while reprimanding: "Do you still need to pass on this?" Please come in! ”

"But ......," the porter said hesitantly, "But the county lord of Hengyang also came with him." ”

When Gu Lushi heard that Xie Zheng was coming, his face immediately changed, and he first said to Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Yuan: "That goblin is here, maybe he came to see the joke, anyway, it's not good!" ”

The two noblewomen looked at each other again, but neither of them spoke, but thought of finding an opportunity to hide away, so as not to hurt themselves.

Gu Lu finished crying with the two of them, and then said to the porter: "Just invite the Marquis of Yongxiu County in, as for that goblin, tell her to go back to the goblin cave quickly, don't harm people everywhere!" ”

"Mother, what do you say?" Gu Xun happened to be talking to his colleagues in Shangshu Province on the side, and as soon as he heard Gu Lu's words, he hurriedly lost his companionship, walked over and said in a low voice: "The county lord of Hengyang must be here to rely on the hanging Ziren, why do you turn her away." ”

"What are you doing? Yes? What do you want to do? Gu Lushi roared suddenly, startled both inside and outside the mourning hall, but she didn't seem to care about her face at all, she stretched out her hand and pointed out the door, crying: "That woman, she killed your brother, and now she wants to come over to see our jokes, you actually asked me to invite her in!" Zi Geng, are you crazy! Yes? ”

"Mother!" Gu Xun suppressed his voice and whispered again, his words were full of suppressed helplessness, he glanced left and right, and saw that everyone was watching, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and he whispered to Gu Lu's again: "Everyone who comes is a guest, this is a courtesy!" ”

After he said that, he didn't pay attention to Gu Lu's anymore, and immediately turned around and walked outside the mansion, Gu Lu's glared at him angrily, until he was about to walk to the door of the mansion, he suddenly rushed over, and he didn't know where she came from, so he pulled Gu Xun aside and reprimanded: "What kind of etiquette is not rude, I only know that she is the enemy who killed my son!" ”

As he spoke, he walked out, Gu Xun watched her walk out, feeling helpless, he only held his forehead and sighed, but he did not step forward to stop him, he really didn't want to interfere in this matter anymore, and he had no intention of interfering anymore......

Huan Ling looked at the mansion head-on, Xie Zheng waited for a long time, and was a little impatient in his heart, so he turned his back to the mansion and looked out from afar.

"Mrs. Gu," Huan Ling saw Gu Lu come out, and politely saluted, Xie Zheng also turned around when he heard this, although he did not salute, but he also called out very respectfully: "Mrs. Gu." ”

Gu Lushi neither looked at Huan Ling nor Xie Zheng, only looked straight ahead, and said calmly: "The Marquis of Yongxiu County came to mourn Xiao'er, and the old man respectfully invited, but you, our Gu family is not welcome." ”

Huan Ling glanced at Xie Zheng, and then said to Gu Lu's family: "Mrs. Gu, the county lord of Hengyang came from a certain way with Huan. ”

"The door of our Gu family is open, anyone can enter, but is she a human? She's a goblin, she's a cannibal! If I let her in, will I not kill them? Gu Lushi said calmly, but his words were sonorous and powerful, looking at Huan Ling, he said it eloquently!

Xie Zheng was sincerely polite to the Gu Lu family, but the Gu Lu family repeatedly made humiliating remarks, how could she endure it?

She smiled politely at Gu Lu's family, and said calmly: "Mrs. Gu, I know that you don't welcome me, but I must enter the gate of your Gu family today, and no one can stop me." ”

Gu Lu was extremely angry, turned his gaze to Xie Zheng, and reprimanded: "I am the housewife of the Gu family, this is my family!" If I say you can't enter, then you can't enter! ”

Xie Zheng bent the corners of his mouth, smiled calmly, took the bamboo basket in Yuzhi's hand, and said: "But today, I came to mourn on the basis of His Majesty's holy decree, Mrs. Gu, do you think you can stop me?" ”

"You!" Gu Lu's words were stopped, only glaring at Xie Zheng, his eyes showed a fierce look, Xie Zheng then said: "I heard that Mrs. Gu also entered the palace yesterday, and His Majesty asked me to hand-copy the "Death Mantra" a hundred times to comfort Gu Jiulang, this... Presumably Mrs. Gu also knows. ”

Gu Lushi had nothing to say, and he didn't dare to stop him anymore, Xie Zheng said, just walked past her and walked inside, Huan Ling also followed, Gu Lushi clenched his fists, and when Xie Zheng crossed her, he turned around abruptly and shouted: "It's too much to deceive people!" You deceive people too much! ”

Xie Zheng stopped, looked back at her, and said, "It's not me who deceives people too much, it's you Gu Lu." ”

"Ah...... You! You ......" asked Xie Zheng to call a descendant "Gu Lu's", Gu Lu's eyes were so angry that his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, but the porter hurriedly held her up and exclaimed: "Mastermother!" ”

Gu Lushi came to his senses, saw that Xie Zheng had entered, and hurriedly followed, Xie Zheng and Huan Ling, the two of them walked into the mourning hall one after the other, and Xie Zheng went straight to the incense case to offer incense.

Li Shi stood on the side, raised his eyes and saw Xie Zheng coming here, his heart "groaned", and when he saw Huan Ling walking behind, he was stunned for a moment: "Cousin? ”

She hurriedly walked up to Huan Ling, looked at Xie Zheng, and then asked in a stunned low voice: "Cousin, why did you bring her ......" She knew that the relationship between Huan Ling and Xie Zheng was not ordinary, and she also knew that Xie Zheng had always lived in Huan Ling Mansion, but now her cousin brought the enemy of the Gu family, making her a very embarrassing situation for the Gu family.

"Shh," Huan Ling turned his head back, gave Li a look, and whispered: "Your mother-in-law is angry, hurry up and help." ”

Li frowned, and when he saw Gu Lu walking staggering behind him, he hurriedly went to help him again, explaining, "Mother, I ...... it."

Gu Lushi interrupted her, patted her hand intimately, and said kindly and gently: "You don't have to explain, I know it, I don't blame you for this matter." ”

Li Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and then shut up.

After Xie Zheng finished the incense, he threw the "Death Mantra" into the brazier one by one and burned it to ashes, although he didn't say a word, but he was also apologizing in his heart.

After the two of them burned the "Curse of the Past Life", Gu Lushi immediately said to Xie Zheng: "Since the condolences are over, you should also go." ”

Xie Zhengcai came out of compassion, and immediately had to deal with Gu Lu's again, she said expressionlessly: "Mrs. Gu is in a hurry, I am just acting on orders, after the errand is done, I will naturally leave, you don't have to talk to me." ”

After she finished speaking, she immediately walked out of the mourning hall, and walked out without looking back, Huan Ling politely saluted Gu Lu's family, said "farewell", and then followed Xie Zheng out, but when she walked out of the mourning hall, it was not appropriate to think about it, so she turned around and told the Li family: "Yuan Niang, you should take care of the affairs of the family, treat your mother-in-law well, and be filial and respectful, and don't slack off." ”

The Li clan naturally knew that he was deliberately saying it in front of the Gu Lu clan, so he only bowed his head and said, "Yes." ”
