Gu Qingzhou got into the car and asked the adjutant to go to the racetrack on the outskirts of the city.

There was Si Xingpei's plane parked there.

Si Xingpei went to Hebei this time by truck, and the plane was still in Taiyuan Mansion.

Gu Qingzhou said to the adjutant: "After sending me on the plane, you immediately go to Hebei to find the teacher's seat and tell him that his wife has passed away and let him go back to Yuecheng." ”

The adjutant was taken aback and asked rhetorically: "Madame has died?" ”

Gu Qingzhou didn't know the details.

The telegram she received was still sent from the general headquarters in Nanjing, and it is estimated that the superintendent received the news and went back while sending them a telegram, and the matter was undoubted.

How he died, it is not clear in the small message.

"Madam, do you want to go to Hebei to find a teacher seat first?" The adjutant reminded Gu Qingzhou, "The subordinates know the location of the division's seat, and they can temporarily find an open space to stop the plane." ”

Gu Qingzhou was in a hurry.

She was so worried because she didn't know the nature of the matter.

As soon as she heard that Mrs. Si was dead, she first thought about whether her husband was suspicious, and then thought about how Si Overseer was good.

Two things stirred in her heart, and she was a little out of shape.

"Then go to Hebei first." Gu Qingzhou said.

A few hours later, the plane arrived at an important town in Hebei and found Si Xingpei.

Si Xingpei was in the headquarters of a small army leader at the time.

The news of Mrs. Si's death also came as a deep surprise.

He first spent half an hour handing over official business to his trusted subordinates and Ye Dujun's personal guards, and then hurriedly followed Gu Qingzhou on the plane.

After sitting down, Gu Qingzhou asked him, "Is there any news before?" ”

"I promised to let her go, and I wouldn't leave anyone to spy on her." Si Xingpei said, "I was also quite surprised. ”

Gu Qingzhou said: "The Overseer asked us to go back to mourn."

Si Xingpei said: "It's okay, even if she dies strangely, it has nothing to do with us." Now she only has Qiong Zhi, what big deal can Qiong Zhi do? ”

Regarding Mrs. Si's death, Si Xingpei was indifferent, and he was hardly gratified.

Gu Qingzhou's thoughts were restless.

Seeing her shrinking her neck, as if she was afraid of the cold, Si Xingpei couldn't help but say, "What are you worried about?" ”

"Worry about the Overseers." Gu Qingzhou said, "What the Overseers have suffered is really like the sky has collapsed. ”

Si Xingpei touched her head: "The Overseer is a soldier, he is used to seeing life and death, and he has already had these plans for life and death, and he can survive." ”

With that, he hugged her in his arms.

He has been very busy these days, he is contacting some small military leaders, and he didn't even take a shower when he was running around, and his military uniform was dirty and messy, so he let go of Gu Qingzhou.

There was also his military uniform on the plane.

He found a brand new one and went to the side to replace it.

In the afternoon of the golden sunshine, the plane landed in Yuecheng.

The racetrack is Si Xingpei's, specially waiting for him.

Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei got off the plane, and the racecourse prepared the car.

Si Xingpei drove the car, and the car made all the way back to the Overseer's Palace.

The Overseer's Mansion has not yet been mourned, as the Lady is still in the hospital and has not been brought back to the hospital, and both the Overseer and Stonzi are in the hospital.

The family is the fifth aunt in charge.

The fifth aunt saw Si Xingpei, her expression changed slightly, and she didn't speak for a while, her eyes were slightly red, and she said, "The young marshal is back?" ”

"What's going on?" Si Xingpei asked her.

The fifth aunt was about to explain that Mrs. Si's body had been picked up.

Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei hurriedly went out and stood on the steps.

The adjutant carried the stretcher and carried Mrs. Si's body into the lobby.

The reason why I have waited until now is not because of the side, but because Qiong Zhi went to a hospital in Guangzhou a few days ago for internship and inspection for two months.

When I received the notice, I had to wait for Si Qiongzhi to come back, so I waited until now.

"Abba." Gu Qingzhou stepped forward and shouted in a low voice.

The overseer was bowed, his steps were slightly weak, and he was very haggard.

Si Qiongzhi's eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei returned, Si Qiongzhi also arrived, and Mrs. Si's body was retrieved.

The coffin was prepared at home, so someone sorted out Mrs. Si's remains.

Gu Qingzhou watched her burial with her own eyes.

When she was placed in the coffin, everyone looked at her, and her cleaned up face was calm and kind.

When she was alive, Gu Qingzhou had never seen her so kind, her heart was inexplicably astringent, and her eyes were hot.

Si Qiongzhi cried very hard, and the fifth aunt hugged her tightly.

The lid of the coffin was closed, and the official mourning began, and it was already dusk.

Gu Qingzhou and Si Qiongzhi wore linen and filial piety, burned paper in front of the spirit, and Si Xingpei went out to report the funeral.

The Overseer sat beside him.

Si Qiongzhi kept crying.

Gu Qingzhou burned for a while, and then walked to the side of Si Dujun: "Abba, you mourn." ”

The people who just went to report the funeral and have not mourned at the moment, the mourning hall are all the adjutant servants and aunts and wives of the Si family.

The Overseer sat there in silence, his back not looking straight.

Gu Qingzhou's heart was sour.

Hearing Gu Qingzhou's words, he just nodded again and never spoke.

He didn't dare to speak, for fear that the cry would pour out and he couldn't control it.

"Abba, what's wrong with Madame?" Gu Qingzhou asked again.

The Overseer waved his hand.

He didn't want to answer.

Gu Qingzhou didn't want to ask anymore, and still knelt in front of the spirit.

"Sick." Si Qiongzhi, who was sobbing on the side, opened his mouth and answered Gu Qingzhou's question.

She has no anger and resentment, only endless sadness.

While crying, she said: "After returning to Yuecheng, my mother was sick every day, and then she vomited blood, so she was admitted to the hospital.

She couldn't eat, so she relied on infusions to feed, and her spirit was bad for a while. asked her to go to Nanjing, but she refused to live or die, saying that she didn't want to see Abba.

The doctor was worried about her, and I was worried about her, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. ”

Speaking of this, Si Qiongzhi couldn't cry.

Gu Qingzhou didn't expect that she was willing to say these words to herself, and she didn't expect that she wouldn't pull and blame Mrs. Si's death on herself.

Although the last time they met, Si Qiongzhi had changed a lot. But she understood so clearly that Gu Qingzhou was still surprised.

For a while, she didn't know whether to comfort Si Qiongzhi or not.

After Si Qiongzhi cried, he wiped his tears and continued to burn paper.

"Qiongzhi, you also mourn" Gu Qingzhou comforted her, although her tone was thin.

Si Qiongzhi hummed from his throat and continued to burn the paper.

Si Xingpei came back at nine o'clock in the evening, and relatives and friends already knew about Mrs. Si's death.

Relatives from other places sent adjutant to inform them.

Si Qiongzhi was already supported by the servant and went down to drink some water.

A servant took over from Si Qiongzhi.

Si Xingpei put on a stick of incense, and pulled Gu Qingzhou and said, "I've been kneeling for a long time, go eat something." ”

While the Overseer was still seated, the Overseer asked him, "Overseer, would you like something to eat?" The mourning hall was temporarily left in the care of the adjutants. ”

Si Dujun said: "You all go, I will keep a wake for my wife tonight." ”

Gu Qingzhou wanted to say something, but Si Xingpei had already grabbed her arm and dragged her out.

She knelt for a long time, her knees were sore, and it was inconvenient to walk, so Si Xingpei slowed down and said, "Don't be so filial, just look at it." ”

His words are not to be heard.

Gu Qingzhou thought about it, it was already the limit that he could put on a stick of incense, so he didn't say anything anymore.

"Si Xingpei, what should I do?" Gu Qingzhou said.

"What do you do?" Si Xingpei didn't understand this.
