Chapter 142: Affection and Righteousness?
Fuxia's funeral Ma Xiaowan didn't show up, and she was sad for a while.
During that time, the atmosphere in the backyard was not very good, and the night was always gloomy.
Fortunately, nothing happened, but a handyman and a little steward died silently in the front yard.
The news did not reach the backyard, the day of the accident was night, Zhou Jin went over, and let Cao Liangyi look at it and say that the person drank to death.
On weekdays, he is obviously not a person who likes to drink, how could he make such a move inexplicably.
However, there are several people who can testify that the executive was killed by drinking alone.
In this way, Zhou Jin concluded that this person committed suicide.
He is the princess's informant in the front yard, and his own death can only mean that his identity has been exposed.
Zhou Jin didn't dare to relax his vigilance, so he let the dark two who had been in the mansion go and go to Ma Ta Pass to report to the master.
Not long after the incident in the front yard happened, the backyard began to be unstable, and Mama Wu beside Ma Xiaowan went again after a long time.
In those two days, Ma Xiaowan's crying felt like it could spread throughout the backyard, and Ayu heard it, and the voice was sad and moving.
Xiaoxue Courtyard, Ayu woke up in the middle of the night again, lifted the quilt and was about to get out of bed, when Banzhi heard the movement and came over.
"Niangniang, do you want to be respectful?"
Ayu nodded, her belly was getting bigger and bigger now, and she would get up once or twice a night.
"I don't think I've heard a sound from there tonight."
Coming out of Gongfang, Ayu said to Banzhi when he heard it.
Her ears are sharp, and others may be an illusion, but she can really hear.
Thinking that the daughter of Princess Ma's dignified mansion is not bad, it is not bad to be able to do this for the people around her, I feel that my nature is not a bad thing, but it is just a natural opposition to myself.
"Niangniang, what she can hear may not be true, she may just be pretending."
Banzhi felt that Ayu was still less in trouble, and his thoughts were relatively simple.
Ayu is the head, these things are also, interests come first, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
"You go to sleep, too."
Ayuqu went to the bed on his lap and asked Banzhi to blow the lamp.
The next day, Ma Xiaowan, who had been closed for nearly a month, was discharged from the hospital and went to the front yard to find Zhou Jin, saying that she was going to find a cemetery for Mama Wu to bury.
This time, Wei Li didn't take Zhou Jin with him when he went out, and he still controlled the affairs in the house.
According to the rules, if someone dies in the house and has a family, they will generally be notified to carry it away, and if there is none, they will be buried in a mass grave, and if they have a big face in front of the master, they will find a place.
This time it was the old grandmother next to the princess who died, and according to Zhou Jin's idea, he just found a piece of land and set up a monument, just like the future generations of Fuxia before.
But Ma Xiaowan didn't want to, she was really affectionate, a brocade was soaked, and said that Mama Wu was her nurse, and mentioned that her mother died, and it was Mama Wu who raised her up, and the two supported each other to this day, not that mother and daughter are as close as mother and daughter.
Now that the person has gone, not to mention the funeral, the funeral must be done, and she has to do it herself.
Ma Xiaowan lost two personal subordinates one after another, to put it bluntly, she also lost her right-hand man, Zhou Jin agreed to her request after thinking about it for a day, but arranged for two little eunuchs to follow, saying that it was for her, but in fact, it was very clear that it was surveillance.
Ma Xiaowan didn't say anything and accepted the arrangement.
So, Ayu heard that Ma Xiaowan was going to bury Mama Wu again, and the people in the various courtyards were about to be moved by her behavior.
"Niangniang, I heard that Mama Wu was only sick after being beaten by His Highness last time, and I heard that the people in the Wind Courtyard quietly discussed that it was to injure His Highness. I don't think that's true, she's old, who knows how she died. ”
Zhao Nuan was upset for the good king, and besides, even if it was because of His Royal Highness's action, she deserved it, who told her to be bent on harming people and having such vicious intentions.
Ayu was practicing big characters in front of the table, and when she heard the words and the hand holding the pen paused, she knew the man's ability, and if she wanted to say that Mama Wu died after the good king's shot, she believed it.
But there is no way to discuss this kind of thing, and she just thinks about it silently in her heart.
Ma Xiaowan walked around Liangzhou City for two days, found a few men who helped deal with the coffin and burial, and said that it would be a good time for them to wait at the back door of the palace the next day.
In this way, Mama Wu can be buried in the earth tomorrow, Ma Xiaowan reddened her eyes again, and asked the little eunuch who was driving the car to turn the car around and go back to the house.
Since Ma Xiaowan has lost two caring people by her side, she has not promoted anyone to serve in front of her, and on weekdays, she is injured and takes the little maid to take care of the affairs in the hospital.
The carriage stopped at the side gate of the palace, Ma Xiaowan led people back to the backyard, and the two little eunuchs who followed went to report to Zhou Jin about today's outing.
"The princess found a few husbands and bearers in the north of the city, and went to the backyard gate early tomorrow morning to receive the funeral. The cemetery was also chosen by those people, and an approximate location was given, saying that it was a mountainside outside the northern city. ”
Zhou Jin was looking at a batch of materials taken out by the library, planning to prepare summer shirts for the master in the backyard, and when he heard this, he asked, "Did she get out of the car and show up?" ”
In private, Zhou Jin is not called the princess, because that woman is really annoying, and she actually wants to harm the heirs of the good prince, can he have a good temper?
"Not yet. So the matters were all discussed by the big maid beside her, and the princess had been sitting in the car, occasionally asking out loud. ”
"In this case, you take a few people to inquire about those men and women to see if there is any problem."
"Yes."
The little eunuch took the order and left.
Zhou Jin looked at the direction of the backyard and sighed, since His Highness left this backyard, it has been stable for nearly half a month, although he has the confidence to take care of it, but somehow sometimes he always feels uneasy.
"Come on, pass on Doctor Cao, and go to Xiaoxue Courtyard."
When Zhou Jin brought Dr. Cao Liang over, Ayu had just gotten out of school, and she sent her husband to the corridor and was about to go back to the room, when she saw the two of them coming.
Doctor Cao Liang asked Ayu for a pulse and prescribed two lists of medicinal diets, nothing else, everything was fine.
Doctor Cao Liang left the medicine box in advance, and Zhou Jin called Banzhi out and asked Ayu about the situation here.
Ayu has not gone out since moving to Xiaoxue Courtyard, except for the Liu family who brought her daughter over to see her twice and went back to the lower courtyard gate, and at other times she was reading and writing in the courtyard every day, and she didn't see anyone.
At the beginning of coming here, there were still many concubines from the backyard who came to visit, but Ayu refused all of them on the grounds of physical inconvenience.
Of course, this is the best, Zhou Jin said two words and left with Cao Liangyi.
In the afternoon, the Liu family came again, brought their two little daughters to see Ayu, and told Bai Daniu about his return to the village a few days ago.
Bai Ying's matter had been mentioned to the family before, and the family heard that the silver money brought back by his son was extremely angry by Zhou Lizheng, and the next day Bai Da Niu went to the yamen to find out what was going on, and then rented a car and went back to the village to find Zhou Li to confront him.
