Chapter 34: Ashes of Smoke

Except for Tong Yuqing in this huge capital, no one cares about the death of a girl in the Qinglou. On the first seven days of Lan Chu, she hid the guilt and remorse in her heart, and burned some paper money for Lan Chu in the yard. Unexpectedly, the little bit of cigarette ash flew out of the hospital, so that Xu Shuyuan, who had long been impatient, found an excuse and ran to the old lady to complain.

"Grandmother, I asked my mother's family to check, Tong Yuqing's father and mother died at the beginning of the year, and she burned paper money at this time, and I don't know who she worshipped. I confessed to the fire in the small kitchen last time, but I don't admit it when it burns again this time. Huaixiang can't get off the ground now, how can she be hit by the same board, and her Tong Yuqing can jump around. ”

Seeing that the old lady was unmoved, Xu Shuyuan came over again, gently slapped her shoulder, and asked tentatively, "Grandmother, don't you think she is suspicious?" ”

Old Madam Yu pulled her hand away, looking a little irritable. "Come on, it's a big deal. You haven't eaten enough of the lesson from last time, so you don't know how many days to stop? ”

Xu Shuyuan sat back in her place, and heard the old lady ask, "What about the literary meaning?" Why haven't I seen him come over to greet me for the past few days? ”

Speaking of this, Xu Shuyuan was annoyed for a while, and she cried while covering her face.

The old lady has been riddled with nightmares lately, and she has been restless all night, and her heart is already very irritable. At this time, I heard her crying here, and the more I couldn't wait for Xu Shuyuan.

"What are you crying about?"

Xu Shuyuan felt even more aggrieved in her heart, and looking at the old lady's attitude again, she remembered the grievances of the last time, and Miss Xu once again lost her temper.

"Grandmother, Yu Wenyi doesn't return home all day long, let me be a bride alone in the empty room to make people laugh, if it goes on like this, I can only go back to my parents' house."

The old lady's face sank, is this using her mother's family to oppress people again?

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about, if you hear this, you won't lose face and make people laugh?"

The old lady asked Zhang's mother to go out and find Yu Wenyi back as she spoke, and as she was instructing, she saw Yu Wenyi striding in and running over like a child.

"Grandmother looking for me?"

When the old lady saw Yu Wenyi, she immediately smiled, and pulled him to say several words in a row.

Xu Shuyuan was left aside, and the fire burned even more fiercely in her heart. She jerked to her feet, turned and walked away.

Mrs. Yu's face sank and she patted Yu Wenyi. "What are you doing in a daze, chasing it!"

Yu Wenyi didn't know why, "What kind of character is she playing?" ”

The old lady's face darkened even more, "What are you still doing standing here, your daughter-in-law is making trouble going back to her parents' house." ”

"It's against her!" After that, Yu Wenyi hurriedly chased out.

Xu Shuyuan didn't go far at all, just waiting for Yu Wenyi to come and chase him. Hearing Yu Wenyi's movement chasing after her, she quickened her pace.

"What's wrong?" Yu Wenyi grabbed her, hugged her in his arms as always, and coaxed her softly.

Originally, Xu Shuyuan was in a tantrum, but when she saw a few girls running from the side with a red face, she pretended to push him away.

"I've been too busy lately, and I've always gone to the Seventh Prince's side, snubbing my beauty. In a few days, when I'm busy, I'll accompany you, I Yu Wenyi will do what I say. ”

told her to ignore herself, and Yu Wenyi leaned over again.

"Still angry? I won't leave today, I won't leave for the next few days, I'll just accompany you at home, and I'm not going anywhere. Saying that, he didn't care if it was in his room or not, he pinched the softness on Xu Shuyuan's chest, and smiled obscenely. I just came back from outside with a sweat, and I'll go back to shower later, you can help me wipe my back? ”

As soon as he came, he said such unserious words, and he hadn't seen him for a few days, so he made Xu Shuyuan a little unbearable.

Xu Shuyuan hung softly on him, and was about to talk about the grievances of being neglected in the past few days, when suddenly he smelled a faint smell of rouge. Her face turned sharply and she pushed Yu Wenyi away suddenly.

"Are you going to the kiln again?"

Yu Wenyi's face changed slightly, and he came over cheekily again. "What are you talking about, I've been doing something really serious these days. Do you believe it or not, you go to the Seventh Prince's Mansion and ask, or you go and ask the son of Lord Qi's family? ”

mentioned the son of Lord Qi's family who could only spend all day drinking, Xu Shuyuan was even more sure of the fact that he went to the kiln. "Yu Wenyi! You did this to me just after I walked in the door! If you don't want to pass this day, just say it, I'll make room for those women in the Qinglou. Yu Wenyi, if you don't make it clear today, I'll ...... I'm going to be separated from you! ”

As soon as he heard that he was going to be separated, Yu Wenyi knew that this Miss Xu was really angry. Although the Yu family's status in the capital is not low, compared with the Xu family, which has been an official in the past generations, the Yu family has been compared all of a sudden.

The main purpose of the marriage between the two families is so that he can enter the official more smoothly. He didn't have much knowledge of cars, so he could only get a shortcut from the Xu family.

Looking at the imperial court, he could no longer find anyone who could replace the Xu family.

In this way, he will not let them separate!

"I'm serious! How can a man not smell anything when he is out socializing! Shuyuan, you don't believe me like that? ”

Xu Shuyuan is not a fool, and he will not believe his quibbles, so he shook his face and was about to leave towards the gate of Yu's mansion. Yu Wenyi stopped in front of her and coaxed angrily: "You also know about Lord Qi being killed." Lord Qi is the head of the household department and holds important positions, and now as soon as he dies, the household department will become the sweetheart of the two factions. When I came into the Yu Mansion and walked close to the Seventh Prince, my father-in-law helped me say a few more words, listening to the meaning of the Seventh Prince, he wanted to recommend me to the throne. ”

Yu Wenyi said in high spirits, as if this matter had already been decided. After being proud, Yu Wen thought that Xu Shuyuan was still a little suspicious, so he hugged her in his arms.

"Good scholar, when I become the head of the household, you will be Mrs. Shangshu. Do you want to be a young lady for the rest of your life, or do you want to be the wife of Lord Zhengerpin Shangshu? ”

Xu Shuyuan was a little moved by what he said. Old Madam Yu is so temperamental, doesn't she just rely on herself to be a second-grade lady? If she really became Mrs. Shangshu and had the support of her mother's family, would the old lady dare to take Qiao like this in front of her?

Thinking like this, Xu Shuyuan happily hugged Yu Wenyi's neck. "But isn't this matter still undecided?"

Yu Wenyi pinched her small nose, "Eight or nine is not far from ten." ”

Xu Shuyuan's eyes flashed, and her flower-like little face wilted again. Yu Wenyi kissed her on the mouth, "What's the matter?" ”

I told him what I had told the old lady before, and then wiped the corners of my reddened eyes. "Forget it, she Tong Yuqing is protected by your second uncle, and the seventh prince is protected, and I, Xu Shuyuan, can only admit this grievance."

I only heard Yu Wenyi snort coldly, "What if there is that sick seedling to protect her, what about the protection of the Seventh Prince, as long as she is still in my Yu family for a day, we have a way to treat her." Let's go back to our room, take a shower, and then make a good calculation of what to do. ”

……

Night.

Mrs. Yu was awakened by a nightmare again, and after waking up, she no longer felt sleepy. A pair of eyes were open until dawn, and in a daze, I heard the sound of the two night watchmen outside.

"That Tong Yuqing is crazy, burning paper every day. The night breeze and paper money are flying everywhere, which is strange and scary. ”

"If you worship your family, where can you burn paper every day, I think she has a ghost in her heart."

"Could it be that it was because she killed Lianxiang, so Lianxiang came back to beg for her life, so she burned paper money all the time?"

The door creaked open, and the two girls were so frightened that they got up from the floor floor. When he saw the old lady clearly, he quickly knelt down and admitted his mistake.

The old lady had a black face, went up and slapped her twice.

"Presumptuous! My house is clean, and whoever dares to say that there are no such things in the future, don't blame me for the heavy punishment! ”

The two girls endured crying, one of them served for a longer time, and they were bolder, so they cried and said: "Tong Yuqing burns paper every night, and several sisters are scared and cry when they come out at night." I've heard that burning too much paper money will attract more dirty things...... The slave and maid knew that she should not say this in front of the old lady, but if she continued like this, the sisters would really not dare to go out at night in the future......"

The timid one next to him trembled even more, looking at the poor one.

The old lady looked at a certain place with a cold face, "Okay, you Tong Yuqing!" ”

The older the person, the easier it is to listen to those nihilistic things, these days the old lady is almost full of nightmares and can't sleep well, and now after listening to the words of the little girl, the old lady is suddenly angry, grabbed the little girl, pointed to the front and asked her to lead the way.

The little girl trembled and brought the old lady to the gate of Yu Chong's courtyard, looking at the pile of burned cigarette ashes at the gate of the courtyard, her face changed greatly.

"Someone! Bring Tong Yuqing out to me. If anyone stops you, call me directly! ”

Yu Chong in the house had already woken up when the group of them came over, helped the woman in his arms fold the quilt again, and sighed helplessly.

"Find me something to do again."

Tong Yuqing didn't listen to what was going on outside the window, turned over comfortably, and then fell asleep.

Yu Chong chuckled twice, let go of her gently, and slowly got up and sat on the bed. The door was slammed open from the outside, and several family members rushed in, and when they saw Yu Chong, who was sitting awake, looking at this side with heavy eyes, several people were directly stunned in place.

"Such a big movement, is there a thief in the house?"

As he was talking, Qing'an ran over, but before he entered the door, he was twisted by the arm of several family members, preventing him from entering the house to protect the master.

"Second master, the old lady wants to see Tong Yuqing and say that if anyone stops her, she will be beaten directly."

Yu Chong pulled his pursed lips, revealing a look of helplessness. "I can't get off the ground alone with my waste legs, and she can't wake up when she's sleeping soundly, if you're not in a hurry, let the old lady wait first."

A family dog rushed over with a human momentum, wanting to cross Yu Chong and pick up Tong Yuqing. Yu Chong grabbed his wrist with an easy expression, and blocked him out of the bed with the strength of one hand.

"You dare to touch her."
