Chapter 102: No Peace
The mother-in-law died violently, even if it was the daughter of the concubine who was already married, she should be mourned, so Feng Huanling naturally received a funeral report from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although it was a little sudden, Long Yucang made a slight arrangement and accompanied her to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Compared with Feng Huanbing and Zhi Yao who were really sad when Aunt Su passed away, the mourning hall of the eldest lady Mo inevitably seemed a little "deserted", even if there were a few kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, it was really a little false to look at, and some even heard the crying without tears.
After Long Yucang accompanied Feng Huanling to worship Mo's coffin in the mourning hall, he was invited by Feng Wanquan to sit in the side hall.
Feng Huanling is the fastest among the girls in the big house, not to mention Feng Qingyan, who has just married Hu Xiaoguo, what year and month will it take to receive her mother's funeral report, even if Feng Qingwan is in the palace and wants to come out to mourn, not to mention Feng Huanbing, who is still grounded in disguise, it is said that he is already crazy.
Xu is because of this, the old lady and Feng Cheng were a little excited when they saw Feng Huanling, especially the old lady who lost her young grandson and daughter-in-law one after another, and even more affectionately took her granddaughter's hand and sat down, so she asked for warmth.
Feng Huanling said indifferently: "Please also ask grandmother to mourn, mother's departure, things in the house will inevitably fall on grandmother." ”
The old lady wiped the corners of her slightly wet eyes with a white silk, and seemed to be very emotional: "Hey, how good it was that the house was lively and lively, but since you married one by one, it seems that you have taken away all the blessings in the house." Now it seems that only your four girls still really care about this mother's family, and even if the others have a little thought, they will ...... after all Ay...... Ling'er, I know that your mother didn't treat you very well before, but she is your mother after all, and there is the Mo family behind her, and it is really helpless that your grandmother and your father are unable to protect you. ”
"What did grandmother say? It is deserved that my mother loves my sister more, and even if it is not good, it will finally fulfill my marriage with the prince, right? Feng Huanling had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were as deep as the sea, making people unable to see through the depths, "Speaking of the Mo family, my mother left a little suddenly this time, and I am afraid that I will not give up with the hot temper of Mrs. Mo and Mr. Mo Weiwei." Grandmother may not know that during the birthday of the saint earlier, Huanling had seen Mo Weiwei and Ma Dianke clashing in public in front of the palace, and almost didn't make a move! ”
"Oh? Is there such a thing? ”
The old lady looked surprised, and asked carefully with a solemn expression, and Feng Huanling carefully explained the situation that day.
Right here, there was a sudden commotion outside the hall that had been arranged as a mourning hall, and it was faintly heard that someone was scolding all the way.
"Who is so bold as to dare to make noise in front of the mourning hall of my Prime Minister's Mansion?!"
The entire Guiyuan Continent pays attention to the deceased, even if the person who comes is the saint today, he should not make a noise, so the old lady's face is very ugly, and she personally led people out of the mourning hall to see the situation outside, and Feng Huanling naturally followed silently.
"Hmph, what about the Prime Minister's Mansion? My aunt went to the palace a few days ago, why did she suddenly say that she was gone? What about the Prime Minister? The prime minister can not abide by my dragon king law, can he ignore people's lives?! Today, no matter what, I have to ask for an explanation for my aunt, and I must not let my aunt die so unjustly! ”
The person who came was Mo Weiwei, who was mentioned just now, one of the fathers-in-law of Emperor Xuan, and the father of Concubine Mo - Mo Aoqun.
And Mo Weiwei's legendary fiery temper was vividly displayed on the spot, allowing Long Banghong to see it clearly and truly.
"It turned out that Master Mo had arrived, no wonder there was such a big movement. But in the strange old body, didn't you go to the gate to greet you in person? ”
Even though she was depressed in her heart, the old lady did not scold her identity like the Guozhang opposite, but her face was very impatient, and her eyebrows were wrinkled into Sichuan characters.
"Her Royal Highness the princess is serious, how dare the officials dare to greet Her Royal Highness the princess in person? is the prime minister, and there has always been only the subordinate to greet him! ”
Having said that, Mo Aoqun didn't see the slightest "dare" on his face, and his eyes were even more undisguised in his disdain.
"Hmph, since Master Mo is so self-aware, the old body doesn't have to waste his tongue when he wants to come. Today is the day when my daughter-in-law of the long house goes west, and I came to send it off sincerely, and my Prime Minister's Mansion is also sincerely grateful, but if there is a vain attempt to take the opportunity to make trouble, my Prime Minister's Mansion will never bear the humiliation! ”
The old lady, who rarely shows a fierce face on weekdays, was stunned, and the huge hall was so quiet that it could be heard in a moment.
Even the mighty and tall Mo Aoqun couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and said in his heart that this old woman was no wonder that she was able to save the life of the first emperor when she was young, and it seems that it is really not in vain.
"Master Mo, if you talk about it from your mother, Huanling should still call you cousin. My mother is now in the coffin inside, and my cousin is doing this to make my mother die in peace? ”
The one who broke the silence with a soft voice was Feng Huanling, who was standing on the steps of the hall door, holding the old lady's arm.
The young face that was obviously still a little immature, but inexplicably revealed the majesty of the world, which made Mo Weiwei stunned again.
"You are a concubine, what do you know! If I don't find out the truth about my aunt's death today, it will be difficult for her to live in the heavenly spirit! ”
Mo Aoqun, who didn't blink an eye when he was about to kill, found that he was shocked by a concubine, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed and angry, and he raised his leg and was about to rush into the mourning hall.
The women who accompanied the old lady in the mourning hall were all female dependents, not to mention whether men and women were intimate or not, even if they really wanted to do it, where would they be the opponent of a military attache like a dignified guard?
"Please also ask Lord Mo not to act impulsively, as the Lord said, after all, this is the Prime Minister's Mansion, and there is an old lady who is a princess in charge, no matter how powerful the Mo family is now, it can't be in vain to ignore the etiquette law, right?"
Feng Huanling, who spoke completely as a member of the Feng family, made the old lady a little impressed, and the originally dim hope in her eyes gradually became clearer, only to feel that this mute girl who was once unpopular now seems to have become a great hope for the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even a pillar to rely on!
"Princess, the lower officials know that you now have the support of King Cheyue behind you, and you have become more delicate and expensive than before. But the lower official just wanted to go in to worship his aunt, so why did the princess bother to stop him? ”
I don't know if Mo Aoqun's impulsive and rude appearance was deliberately pretended, seeing that Feng Huanling insisted on obstructing him, he actually changed his appearance in a blink of an eye, no longer as aggressive as Shicai, and there was a little more helplessness in his tone.
Mo Aoqun, who is the national ruler and ranks among the nine kings, is obviously not really reckless.
"If Lord Mo just wants to enter and worship, Huanling doesn't dare to stop him, please."
Even if the old lady with a sinking face didn't want to let her go easily, she couldn't say anything at the moment, so she let Feng Huanling help her out of the way.
Mo Aoqun only took a deep look at Feng Huanling and then strode into the mourning hall, kneeling in front of Mo Yaqin's coffin with slightly red eyes, and bowed down solemnly, saying, "Auntie, the unfilial nephew is late!" ”
After kowtowing, Mo Aoqun got up and walked straight to the coffin, and immediately glared at the tiger again, and asked angrily: "Why did you cover the coffin now?" Didn't you even let me see my aunt for the last time? Or is there something wrong with my aunt's remains, so you Feng family don't dare to be admired?! ”
According to the customs of the Dragon Kingdom, the coffin can be covered at least three days after death, and the burial can be done after seven days, and the specific date will change slightly depending on the region and climate. For example, when the heat is scorching in the south, the body is not suitable for preservation, so the coffin will be buried as soon as possible; If it is replaced by the cold of the Northland, the body is stiff and not easy to decay, and it can be fully carried out in accordance with the funeral rites.
The reason why Mo Yaqin's body was gathered into the coffin so early and nailed the lid of the coffin was naturally because Feng Wanquan was afraid that someone would see that the real cause of his death was the choke mark on his neck.
The old lady knew the reason, but she couldn't tell the truth to the Mo family, especially for the Mo Aojun in front of her, who was good at using a bad temper as an excuse to wantonly "make trouble", and she couldn't tell it frankly, otherwise she might cause a lot of trouble.
"Lord Wei Wei misunderstood, the early sealing of the coffin was a last wish specially told to me by Bei Nei before her death, she just didn't want to be seen as ugly after death."
Feng Wanquan, dressed in mourning clothes, walked into the mourning hall unhurriedly, in fact, he received the news as early as when Mo Aoqun entered the mansion, but he deliberately waited until he entered the mourning hall before coming, obviously if it wasn't for the old lady who didn't stop people, he wouldn't have planned to face the Mo family.
"Master Mo, my father is right, my mother paid the most attention to grooming when she was alive, and it is normal to be afraid of being ugly after death. Those who lose their anger after graduation, even if they cover it up with heavy makeup, they are not as beautiful as the fresh beauty before their death. ”
Feng Huanling played the posture of the Feng family's daughter today, no matter how she looked at it, she was working hard to solve the siege for her family, the old lady was very relieved, but Feng Wanquan, who knew her better, always felt that something was wrong, but now he was mainly thinking about how to deal with Mo Aoqun, so he had no time to think deeply.
"Even if my aunt pays attention to her appearance, it is too far-fetched to cover the coffin in advance for such a reason, not to mention that it is my aunt's last wish but only the prime minister knows, so isn't it just what the adults say? What if the uncle felt that there was nothing strange about his aunt's death, so he opened the coffin for his nephew to test? ”
When Mo Aoqun received the news of Mo Yaqin's death, both his father and his father felt that her death was too sudden, and now that the coffin was closed early, he confirmed the conjecture in his heart, and naturally he would not give up.
As soon as these words came out, Feng Wanquan's face immediately changed, and he roared solemnly: "Nonsense! Jing Yao Yin's works have already been inspected, and they will be buried only after confirming that they are no different, and now they have all been covered with coffins, how can there be any reason to reopen the coffin and re-examine it? You know that you are my nephew and Yaqin, how can you make such a request that will disturb your aunt's bones?! ”
