Chapter 328: Overturned
382
On the eighth day of the first month of winter, Zhiyong Mansion married a daughter.
Outsiders don't know that someone died in the house just a day ago, and looking at the jubilant scene now, no one believes it even if someone says it.
Bao Shi became the dignified and graceful duchess again, personally received the greeting team of Dangyang Bofu and Zuo Shangshu's family, and sent the twin feminins out of the mansion.
Although these two marriages were presided over by Zhang, due to her status as a cultivator, she has always refused to attend formal occasions.
So I didn't see her today, and no one felt strange.
The Xu family and the Zuo family both recruited people to pick up their relatives on their behalf, because the two groom officials were seriously ill and stupid, and they couldn't come out to see people.
When the welcoming team left the door, the Bao family allowed time to come and serve Mrs. Zhu.
That Zhang is crazy, although he is tied up, he talks nonsense all day long, scolding and singing, which is very noisy.
Bao asked Mrs. Zhu for instructions, and asked Lang Zhong to prescribe a calm prescription for her.
After drinking the medicine, people will fall asleep in a moment, and it will take about four hours for the medicine to become invalid.
In any case, she is an elderly person, and she can't be tied up like that all day, so after giving her medicine, as long as she is asleep, she will ask someone to untie the rope.
After this incident, Bao became more and more sophisticated and calm, and his joy and anger were invisible.
Aunt Sang is okay, she has always kept to herself, she can't pose a threat to anyone, so no one guards her.
Aunt Chen also gave up, she and Bao's have always been well water and river water, and when Bao's was the most embarrassed, she didn't do anything about falling into the well. So there's nothing to worry about at this point.
The most worried is He Ziyun, who used to rely on the support of the Zhang family, and the relationship between her and the Bao family has reached the point of incompatibility.
Now that the Zhang family has fallen, the Bao family is back in power. She was naturally frightened, for fear that the Bao family would find an opportunity to attack her.
Therefore, these days, she has tried her best to accompany Mrs. Zhu, like a frozen cat who is in a hurry to drill the hot stove.
"Madam, that little slut surnamed He can't be kept." Guo's mother said to Bao's: "We have to deal with her before the old man returns home." ”
Although the mother of the country escaped death and was tortured, her ruthless heart has not changed in the slightest.
It's just that her body is a lot weaker than before, and her eyes are black and sweating at every turn.
"I know in my heart that I can't touch her yet," Bao Shi took a sip of ginseng tea and said slowly, "It can't be too obvious." ”
The third day of the twins' marriage was supposed to be the day of return.
On the first day, Bao asked his subordinates in the family to take care of all the things that were applied, and no matter what, they still had to get by.
However, before dawn, the people of Dangyangbo's Mansion came to report that Dangyangbo had died, and Wei Yimu would become a widow in three days after marrying.
As soon as the Xu family's funeral people left, the Bao family hurriedly dressed up and prepared to go to the Xu family for the funeral, and now she is the only one who can go out of the house.
Who would have thought that the Bao family left the Zhiyong Mansion on the front foot, and the backyard of the Wei family caught fire.
Fortunately, only one courtyard was burned, the same place where the Zhang family was imprisoned, and several subordinates were burned to death, and the Zhang family himself was choked to death by the smoke.
There were no other suspicious injuries on her body, and she held a half-lit fire rope in her hand, and everyone said that she had set it on fire.
Because the dead person naturally has to be an official, and the Zhang family is dead, so the murder of Wei Zongzhao has to go with her.
The Bao family is inevitably a little lacking in skills, but fortunately, Wei Aluan has been accompanying Mrs. Zhu these days, and by the way, she helps to take care of some affairs of the Zhiyong Mansion.
It stands to reason that Zhang should report to Wei Zongyong after his death, after all, she is his biological mother, and she has a fate, and Wei Zongyong has to keep filial piety.
Bao reported to the imperial court, and spent money to count people, and finally the emperor replied that although filial piety is the foundation of the country, Zhiyong Gong has a heavy responsibility, and the right to stop Mrs. Zhang's spirit for a few months, so that Wei Zongyong will return to the court after the completion of the sacrifice and burial.
This is the result that the Bao family wants, if Wei Zongyong comes back immediately, he will inevitably have an argument with him, and he will support He Ziyun, and he will inevitably be hindered.
With the holy decree, He Ziyun secretly reported to Wei Zongyong, but it could not play a practical role.
Wei Zongyong couldn't resist the decree in the end.
Although several days have passed, Mrs. Zhu is still bedridden, and she does not think about eating or drinking every day, nor does she like to speak. But they can't sleep at night, so people are even weaker.
Wei Aluan was anxious in her eyes, and persuaded her when she had time: "Mother, I know that you are suffering in your heart, but you must always look at it in the end, otherwise it will be difficult for yourself." This matter is really unsettling, but the Zhang family is dead, and we can't send her to the official for trial, since ancient times, the law has always been a death, not two deaths. ”
Mrs. Zhu sighed when she heard this, and said, "Do you hate her for not being able to subdue the law?" I'm not so stubborn, it's just that she's dead, at least it saves the ugliness of the family. I just feel sorry for Zong Zhao, he is so sensible, he is only seven years old, why can't he tolerate him? I'm really not qualified to be a mother, so let the child suffer from other people's plots! ”
As he spoke, he shed tears and lamented.
Wei Aluan also cried on the side, Mrs. Zhu didn't really know why the Zhang family wanted to kill her son, she just couldn't accept it.
Wei Yining has been serving her grandmother these days, not daring to take a break, seeing the old lady so sad, her heart is also extremely sad.
On this day, Mrs. Zhu easily slept a little deeper, and He Ziyun and Sang Luzhi were serving on the side, Wei Aluan didn't close her eyes much for several days, and she had something to say to Wei Yining, so she got up and said softly: "I want to go back and change my clothes, Yining, you go with me, the two aunts are tired, stay here for the old lady for a long time!" ”
He Ziyun listened and said: "Grandma can torture us, this is not only our duty, but also our blessing." You and the fifth girl are really tired these days, and they should rest, and they are not iron-clad. ”
Sang Luzhi also said: "Although my aunt and grandmother went back, the old lady woke up, and I tried to serve her to drink some soup and porridge." ”
Wei Yining first changed his clothes or in his own house, and then followed Wei Aluan out of the house.
"Yining, tell me the truth, is this matter your idea? Why didn't you tell me beforehand? Do you still have me as an elder in your eyes? The carriage left the Zhiyong Mansion, and Wei Aluan asked Wei Yining in the car.
Although Wei Yining didn't speak at that time, Wei Aluan felt that the reason why this matter was turned out must be that Wei Yining knew about it first, and then told the three brothers of the Shao family.
Wei Yining didn't hesitate, and nodded directly in agreement, but didn't explain much.
Wei Aluan looked at her for a long time and asked, "Are you for Hong'an?" Do you want him to be knighted? ”
