Chapter 244: Early Death
On May 30, Shen Xiu sent the chief manager Wang to the family temple to deliver the sacrifice.
The two tables of banquets that were originally to be given were changed into offerings, and two monk's robes were given to each of the nuns in the family temple.
It was almost noon when the chief manager Wang came back to resume his life and said, "The things that the side concubine explained have been properly arranged. ”
Shen Xiu nodded when he heard this, and asked casually, "Why did you come back so late?" ”
"Concubine Fang doesn't know, the family temple is very lively today." Mr. Wang said with a smile.
Shen Xiu was surprised, "Lively? ”
The family temple of Yanwangfu is actually a cold palace. Let's not talk about those who have fallen out of favor, there is also the legacy of the previous generation, Lao Tzu is dead, and the concubine room is left in a room, so it's not good to pull it out for a funeral.
Just make a family temple and send it all to fend for itself. Later, concubines who fell out of favor or made mistakes were also sent here.
The camp for resentful women is too gloomy, and even the government will not come here.
"yes." Chief Manager Wang said with a smile, "The princess of the county sent people to raid the entire temple a few days ago, and made new monk's robes for the nuns inside. When I passed, the people were cleaning inside and out. After such a tidy-up, the family temple can be described as a new look. ”
When he first entered, he almost thought he was in the wrong place.
It's so clean, it's too bright. Although some of them have fallen into disrepair, everything that can be sorted out has been sorted out, and it looks like a temple.
Today is the day of the sacrifice, and the subordinates are cleaning harder.
He thought it was interesting, so he watched it for a while and delayed until now.
"The princess of the county really has a heart." Shen Xiu couldn't help laughing.
The banquet is not held, and a lot of money cannot be spent. The family temple burns incense, which cannot show the financial resources of the Wu family. Then simply play bigger, clean up the family temple, at least you can't talk to Wei Ling.
This is also leisurely, there are so many things in the house, and you can still toss like this.
"It's an eventful time in the house now, and it's good that the side concubine doesn't go." Mr. Wang said.
Shen Xiu said: "Whatever they want, let's just go out less." ”
Even if a person sits in the house, he can be killed. But when you're away from home, the danger is higher.
With so many things to worry about, let's sleep in the house.
"Yes, I told you earlier, please rest assured." Mr. Wang said.
Shen Xiu thought for a while and asked, "Is there any news about the murderer?" ”
The news of the torture room is very difficult to detect, and after Yu Yongzhao left, it is estimated that it will be even more difficult.
But if she doesn't ask, she's always hanging on her mind.
Cheng Fang didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Cheng Shaomu was under house arrest, and he didn't know what he had found.
It's a bad feeling for someone to want to die on their own.
"The slave specially inquired, and the murderer who was locked up in the torture room was secretly executed by the prince." Mr. Wang said.
The palace committed murder, such a case cannot be tried publicly, otherwise the palace will be disgraced.
It is said that Cheng Fang really couldn't find anything on him, so Han Xiao ordered the execution.
Now it is estimated that he has died completely, and the bodies have been thrown into mass graves.
"Are you sure?" Shen Xiu asked, it was really the news of Mr. Wang, which made her a little worried.
Manager Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "There should be nothing wrong. ”
Shen Xiu was speechless in his heart, but he didn't want to blame Manager Wang, so he just said, "If there is news from Uncle Cheng, remember to inform me." ”
"Yes." Mr. Wang responded, and seeing that Shen Xiu was a little tired, he said, "The slave has retired." ”
Shen Xiu waved his hand, and Manager Wang turned around and retreated.
After lunch, Shen Xiu was a little tired, slept for a while, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she listened to the sound and said, "Concubine Side is awake, it's really good." ”
"What's wrong?" Shen Xiu immediately sobered up.
What's going on again?
"Just now, the princess sent her mother-in-law to spread the word, saying that Brother Chao'er is not very good, please ask the side concubine to take a look." Yin'er said.
Shen Xiu was puzzled when he heard this, and said, "Brother Chao is sick, so he should go to the doctor." Let me see, what is the purpose. ”
"That's what I pushed." Yin'er said, "The princess suddenly sent someone to spread the word, and I was really scared. ”
It's just that Shen Xiu is sleeping, and she can't be disturbed, so she can only be scared by herself.
"Forget it, the princess has always acted like this, just push it. The descendants of Pinghu Qiuyue are all far away from Shizifu. Shen Xiu said.
Cheng Shaomu was placed under house arrest, and his life and death were uncertain. Although it has nothing to do with her, with Cheng Yuanniang's character, I am afraid that this account will be counted on her head.
At this time, don't stay away, let alone the Prince's Mansion, even if you are close, I'm afraid that something will happen.
In the evening, Han Xiao returned early, and the two of them ate together and chatted for a while. Shen Xiu saw that Han Xiao was tired, so she ordered the girl to fetch water and come in, clean up and sleep.
"It's almost over." Han Xiao said, "You don't have to worry anymore. ”
Shen Xiu smiled and nodded, thought for a while and asked, "The prince executed Cheng Fang?" ”
"You've heard that, too." Han Xiao said, "He won't be your trouble anymore." ”
"It's so good." Shen Xiu said with a smile.
Before he finished speaking, he heard the mother-in-law's super loud voice call from outside the door: "Shiziye, Shiziye, it's not good for my brother." ”
Han Xiao frowned when he heard this, and Shen Xiu commanded: "Go and call your mother-in-law in." ”
In the middle of the night, he didn't knock on the door, but shouted in the air.
Most of them really had an accident, otherwise they wouldn't have wanted to disturb the master's rest so much.
"Yes." Yin'er responded and hurried out.
Shen Xiu waved her hand to let the little girl who was freshened by the waiter step back, and saw her mother-in-law stumbling in, crying and running into the house, and said to Han Xiao: "Lord Shizi, Brother Chao'er is not good, Brother Chao'er is not good." ”
"Slowly, what the hell is going on?" Shen Xiu asked.
The mother-in-law cried and said: "Brother Chao'er is not very good these days, because Brother Chao'er is often sick, although he invited a doctor, he didn't dare to alarm the prince." It's just that to this day, since noon, Brother Hao has been convulsing. When I came, the doctor said that there was no help. ”
At the end, the mother-in-law cried out.
Brother Chao'er really has a good one, and they, the servants of the marquis, are all going to be unlucky.
"How so!!" Shen Xiu was shocked, and immediately said, "I'll just go over and take a look." ”
Brother Chao'er has always been weak and sickly, but he has also been raised to such a big age, I thought that if I was a little bigger, my body would be stronger, but where did I think that I would ......
She met Qixia once, and she really didn't want to see something happen to her brother.
"Let's go together." Han Xiao patted Shen Xiu's shoulder, showing that she was calm.
Shen Xiu couldn't help but look at him, his own son had an accident, and Han Xiao was really calm. The son who didn't raise him by his side didn't even meet a few times, and his feelings were really limited.
This can't help but remind her of Brother Xiao'er, her own mother remembers, but I'm afraid that Han Xiao has almost forgotten it.
"Let's go." Han Xiao looked at Shen Xiu's hair and was stunned, and specially handed her a cloak.
It's windy at night, so wear an extra one.
"Thank you, Lord Shizi." Shen Xiu took the cloak with a complicated mood, hurriedly put it on, and the two went out together.
When the two entered the princess, they saw that the house was brightly lit, and there was crying in the east wing. Several doctors stood outside, all of them dejected.
"The prince is here." The girl finally found out that Han Xiao and Shen Xiu were coming, and hurriedly shouted.
Cheng Yuanniang has no ability to control it, and after Cheng Shaomu was placed under house arrest, the subordinates of the Shizifu became more and more panicked, for fear of being implicated.
In this case, where will the subordinates work seriously, they will be lazy if they can, and they will all think about how to go their own way.
"What's going on?" Han Xiao stepped forward and asked.
Several doctors who were standing suddenly changed their faces when they saw Han Xiao, and they quickly knelt down and said, "It's all the incompetence of the lower officials, and they failed to save the little boy." ”
"Brother Chao'er ...... now," Shen Xiu hurriedly asked.
Several doctors bowed their heads, and none of them dared to speak.
Bai Lu, who had been taking care of Brother Chao in the house, heard Han Xiao's voice and hurriedly came out.
Bai Lu was almost out of breath crying, and said, "I have already lost my breath." ”
Just now, Brother Chao was sick, and she had already informed Cheng Yuanniang. Cheng Yuanniang sent someone to find Shen Xiulai, but Shen Xiu didn't come, and she didn't care about her brother at all.
When I went to the gate of Pinghu Qiuyue to shout, I was really helpless.
Otherwise, Cheng Yuanniang doesn't care at all, she can't handle such a big thing as soon as she gets started.
"Ahh Shen Xiu was shocked, took a few steps back, and was about to enter the east wing.
I heard Cheng Yuanniang say sharply: "Yo, Concubine Shen is showing concern at this time, when I send someone to find you in the afternoon, you ignore it." ”
Shen Xiu didn't want to argue with Cheng Yuanniang, and she didn't think there was anything to argue about, so she just said politely: "I've seen the princess." ”
"Haha, you still remember that I am the princess." Cheng Yuanniang said, her eyes were originally like dead fish, and she turned to look at Han Xiao, "I'm afraid that the prince will forget it." ”
Han Xiao didn't pay attention to Cheng Yuanniang, Cheng Shaomu was under house arrest, and Cheng Yuanniang must be full of resentment.
A crazy woman, he didn't bother to pay attention.
"Is there such a ridiculous princess as me in the world, hahahaha......" Cheng Yuanniang laughed loudly, but it was worse than crying. With a face like a skeleton, he stared at Han Xiao, "I married you as the daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, but you treat me like this." Brother Chao'er's death is your retribution, Han Xiao, you deserve to be cut off. ”
What kind of stupidity did she make, why did she love such a man.
A man who doesn't care about her at all, is ruthless and careless to her, she wants to hate him to death, she wants to curse him.
Cutting off children and grandchildren, and dying without a whole corpse, must be miserable.
"The princess is crazy, help her into the house, and don't let her go out of the house." Han Xiao gave the order directly.
Although the subordinates were a little stupid, who dared not listen to Han Xiao's order.
persuaded and pulled, and insisted on helping Cheng Yuanniang into the house.
"Han Xiao, you can't die well, you can't die well!!" Cheng Yuanniang shouted in the house.
Han Xiao didn't pay attention to this kind of crazy talk, but just said to Bai Lu: "Brother Chao has always been taken care of by you, and I have always been at ease with you." This kid has been sick all the time, and I don't blame you. ”
Bai Lu has been with him all these years, and he knows his temperament.
Although it is difficult for his son to die early, there is no need to be angry with others.
"Thank you, thank you." Bai Lu knelt down and said, but her heart was extremely uncomfortable.
She has raised Brother Chao for so long, and she really treats Brother Chao as her own son. I thought that if I raised my brother well, she would have something to rely on in the future.
Who would have thought that Brother Chao really died early.
"Alas, you are still young, if you want to go out of the house, go as soon as possible." Han Xiao said.
