Chapter 554: A big funeral
554
Xu's mansion was white.
The people all wore filial piety, and they were sad.
When Xu Zhixi's body was returned, the Xu family was all stupid, and no one believed it.
Elder Xu Guo ordered someone to open the lid of the coffin, and saw that it was Xu Zhixi.
At this time, the Xu family cried loudly, Xu Zhixi's mother Lu immediately fainted, and it was easy to save her, and after a glance at the coffin, she cried to death again.
Elder Xu must have an explanation, his granddaughter died in the palace so inexplicably, how could the Xu family swallow this breath?
Later, it was Xu Guifei's second brother who persuaded his father, with Xu Guifei in the palace, it is not difficult to find out the truth.
In less than half a day, the story of the eldest lady of the Xu family committing suicide in the palace has been widely known.
It's just that people only know that Xu Zhixi committed suicide in the palace, but it's not clear why, after all, things in the palace are not spread randomly.
There is no need for the emperor to order, everyone knows that this matter cannot be said, after all, there is still the most favored Concubine Zeng Li in it.
Therefore, it is just that Xu Guifei reprimanded Xu Zhixi for a few words, and Xu Zhixi committed suicide without thinking about it for a while.
The two frightened maids were finally strangled to death by the Xu family for burial.
Even if the two of them are not crazy, they will not be able to live, because the Xu family will definitely be angry at the two of them for not taking good care of the young lady.
"Dad, the funeral of Zhixi is simple, right?" Xu Guolao's second son, Xu Jingyue, asked.
"Simple? Why keep it simple?! Although Xu Guolao was sick in bed, he did not change his usual strength: "Do you want to tell everyone that my granddaughter's death is unsightly?!" ”
"Dad, I didn't mean that, I just wanted to pity a big girl who hadn't come out of the cabinet, and it was such a way to die, so it was better to bury it quickly, so as not to make everyone sad." Xu Jingyue hurriedly explained.
But I was still spat in the face by my father.
Xu Guo said angrily: "What if you don't leave the cabinet? If you haven't left the cabinet, you're not a girl from our Xu family?! I am such a granddaughter, and she has been the one who has hurt me the most since I was a child. This funeral is not only to be done, but also to be done, I want to see what kind of face everyone is! ”
At Sun's house, Sun Mingming was eating snacks in his parents' room.
Master Sun's face was full of red light, and he could see that he was in a good mood.
"Daughter, Dad didn't misunderstand you." Master Sun looked at Sun Mingming, his eyes were full of pride: "Then Manager Chen is really a man of words, and these new businesses are more oily." ”
Sun Mingming's mother was very proud, and said while handing Sun Mingming a piece of snack: "Other families are looking forward to having a son, but they don't know that their daughter is no worse than her son when she is useful." ”
Sun Mingming listened, and just pursed her lips and smiled. The Sun family is about to hold her up to the sky after returning home, if not for anything else, just because Sun Mingming climbed to Concubine Zeng Li.
"Things in this world are really changeable, at first I thought Xu Guifei was reliable, who wants to fall out of favor in a blink of an eye." Mrs. Sun said while peeling the loquat: "And wow, why did that Miss Xu hang herself so well?" ”
Sun Mingming was drinking tea and choked all of a sudden.
Mrs. Sun hurriedly patted her on the back.
"Oh, you women just like to ask around. The most important thing in entering the palace is to be strict in your mouth, don't ask about everything, so as not to cause trouble for your daughter. Old Man Sun glanced at Madame.
"I don't know about this," Sun Mingming shook her head and said, "I haven't been close to her in recent months. ”
"Alas, it's okay if it's not close, it's okay if it's not close, so that you can avoid suspicion, and the Xu family in the province depends on us." Mrs. Sun said happily.
"By the way, Dad, prepare a better funeral for me, I will go to Xufu tomorrow to worship." Sun Mingming said to her father.
"That's a place of right and wrong, you better not go, what if the Xu family says something ugly?" Mrs. Sun hurriedly stopped.
"My daughter is doing the right thing, you are really a woman's insight." Master Sun felt more and more that his wife was short-sighted: "Although the Xu family is in decline now, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and we spent a lot of money on Xu Guifei and her niece before, how can we seal this road ourselves?" ”
"Yes, mother, if I don't go, maybe the Xu family will think that I have something unspeakable!" Sun Mingming said: "No matter what, we are also classmates. In the past, I was closer than others, and if I didn't go, I wouldn't be a distraction. ”
Mrs. Sun was silent when she heard her daughter and husband say this.
On the second day, Sun Mingming took Dian Yi to Xufu to mourn, and there were many guests who came to mourn at this time.
Sun Mingming didn't see Xu Zhixi's mother Lu Shi.
"Madame is sick and can't come out to meet guests." The big girl who was in charge in the mourning hall said.
"Sister Lao, I am a good friend of Zhixi, and I want to see Mrs. today I have something to say." Sun Mingming said and stuffed the maid with a piece of silver.
When the maid didn't go in for a long time, she turned around and whispered to Sun Mingming, "Miss and Mrs. Sun, please come in." ”
Sun Mingming followed the maid to Lu's bedroom.
Lu was sick, with a plaster for headaches on his head, and a smell of medicine in the room.
"Aunt, I'm Sun Mingming," Sun Mingming stepped forward to ask for peace: "I hope you mourn." ”
Although the Lu family had never seen Sun Mingming, he knew her.
When Sun Mingming first entered the palace, she tried her best to tie up Xu Zhixi and Xu Guifei.
Xu Zhixi would bring back a lot of valuable gifts every time he returned home, except for the concubine's reward, which was given by Sun Mingming.
"Good boy, you have a heart, sit down!" Lu struggled and instructed the maid to give Sun Mingming a seat.
"Aunt said this can be tormenting me, these days I can't sleep well, as soon as I close my eyes, I see the pity, thinking that in the past the two of us were talking and laughing in one place, who wants to ......" Sun Mingming said this, and couldn't help crying. Her crying made Lu also cry.
"My miserable daughter, how can she bear to leave me!" Lu thumped his chest sadly.
"It's all my fault, if I had tried to persuade her not to go against Miss Wei, she wouldn't have looked for a short-term view." Sun Mingming cried bitterly: "It's all because I'm too weak, I'm going to blame myself to death now." ”
"What do you say? Who is Zhixi against? Lu Shi stopped crying all of a sudden, and his eyes were fixed on Sun Mingming.
Sun Mingming was a little scared, and she didn't dare to speak.
"Good boy, don't be afraid, I don't mean to blame you." Lu Shi quickly softened his tone and said, "What did you say about Miss Wei just now, who is she?" ”
Sun Mingming kept stirring the handkerchief with both hands, obviously embarrassed: "It's Wei Yining, the companion of the Duanmin County Lord, I am most afraid of her, and I never dare to provoke her." ”
