Chapter 6: The Body
Xia Li saw that the goal was achieved: "You guys are shouting here, I really don't know whose face you are embarrassed, don't be here, let's go!" ”
After Xia Ling finished speaking, he also knew that he was reckless, and his body shook and quickly lowered his head and did not return.
At this time, the mourning hall has begun to enter the guests, she is really losing the face of the Prime Minister's house, the grandmother on that side just looked at her, and I don't know how to punish her when she goes back to her aunt.
Xia Yue'er's face turned crimson there, and she glanced at Xia Li and said: "We are here to keep the spirit of the second aunt is respectful, as her daughter, not only are you not grateful, but we are also picky everywhere, since you don't need to dislike us here, then we will go, but we can talk about it, everyone is here to listen!" This is what you want to drive us away, it has nothing to do with the few of us, and I will tell my mother about this matter."
"Whatever you want, whatever you think, filial piety or not honoring my mother is not a superficial appearance, she knows everything, who is good or bad for her"
Xia Li continued to be angry with the two of them.
"You are really unreasonable," Xia Yue'er flicked her sleeves and said, "In that case, sisters, let's go!" People don't need it, and they will go back to each house and ask about it later."
Xia Ling also glared at Xia Li and got up, followed by Sister Yan, this person patted his ass as he walked:
"Eldest sister, have you seen it, Xia Li has become stupid since her mother died, she doesn't want someone to save face for her, and she still picks on Sister Pan everywhere, it's better to stay away from this person in the future"
"Whether this person is stupid or not has nothing to do with us, she won't let us go to the wake and drive us away, you have to talk to my mother about this in a while, you know?"
Xia Yue is the best at finding her own reasons, and every time she comes up with an idea, the person in front of her will say that she is the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she should be virtuous and virtuous, the bad things are someone else's, and the good things are hers.
Xia Ling's eyes flashed a few times, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll talk about it when my grandmother is done."
Xia Li watched a few people walk out of the door, and her heart was put back in her stomach, these big sisters usually don't like the original owner, or she is really inconvenient to drive them away.
Except for Li Honglian and the uncle Xiangye, no one else would go out of their way to trouble her.
When it was time for lunch, there were not many people in the mourning hall, and they all went out to eat one after another, only Xia Li did not move.
She asked Chu Han to find her brother, and others were not familiar with it and did not dare to use it, for fear of causing trouble.
The mother's shrine was still open, and she had to take advantage of this time to see the meaning of the corpse.
The two mothers-in-law burned paper money beside the spirit, chanting something while burning.
Xia Li didn't know the two of them, so he walked over and said, "You guys should go down and eat too!" I want to be alone with my mother for a while.
The two of them were already hungry, and when they were told to be happy, they said "yes" and got up and left.
There are also a few family members outside the mourning hall, all of whom receive guests who come and go to worship.
Xia Li doesn't care so much anymore, she is afraid that she will have many dreams at night, and if something happens, let's understand the truth first.
She pretended to come forward to worship and walked forward, but in the morning she was sad and did not look closely, and now she saw her mother lying there with a pale and puffy face but a clean face.
I turned my nostrils and mouth with my hands, but there was not a single trace of mud and sand in them.
Xia Xuan was shocked and hated, his mother did not fall into the river and drown at all, but was pushed into the river after she died before.
Because the drowning person chokes on the water, the mud and sand will be sucked into the mouth and nose.
She turned her head to look outside, and listened to the fact that no one was coming in the distance at this time, so she hurriedly unbuttoned her mother's clothes, and carefully looked at every skin on her body, from bottom to bottom, she found that there was a large bruise under the armpits on both sides, as if she had been beaten, and when she touched it with her hands, there was no damage to the inside of her body, it seemed that she was not beaten, but as if she was dragged forward and made out.
There were no more external injuries on the body, and it seems that the cause of death was not to be beaten.
Xia Li hurriedly put on his mother's clothes again, and when he went to tie the button on his neck with both hands, he found a pale pink strangulation mark on his neck as thin as silver.
The fatal wound was found, and here it is.
In the past, she had heard that there was a killer organization called Secret Relatives on the rivers and lakes, and she used silver threads to kill people, but this kind of organization rarely came out to kill people, and sometimes it didn't come out once a year, and the occasional people who came out to kill were officials or their relatives, and she didn't hear that the people in the rivers and lakes or Shang Jia encountered the poisonous hands of secret relatives.
It is very strange why the mother of the original owner was killed by her secret relatives.
Xia Li couldn't think about this matter, so he heard footsteps from far and near.
She quickly finished arranging her mother's body, and then knelt in front of the shrine in a hurry, and pretended to burn paper money into the brazier inside, without any expression on her face.
After a short time, she saw the eldest aunt Li Honglian enter the house.
The person who used to be her mother felt a little strange in her heart, but now since she knew what this person did to the original owner, she couldn't like it every time she saw it.
And when this one saw her, he had a very gentle smile, if she didn't know what this person had done to the original owner, it was really easy to be deceived by someone's amiable face.
Li Honglian hurriedly entered the inside and saw that there was no one in the mourning hall, and shouted angrily, "Get out of there, how can you let Miss Li stay here alone, will you become a dead person?"
As soon as the voice fell, four or five mothers-in-law and two or three maids came in from outside, and they must have all gone out to eat just now.
"Presumptuous, who allowed you to go out without permission, such a big thing happened in the house, you didn't even feel lazy, and I will be punished by the housekeeper for a while, and then next time, I will be kicked out"
Several subordinates were frightened when they heard this, and they knelt down and said: "Madame spare your life, the slaves and maids know their mistakes, please raise your noble hand and bypass the slaves and maids once, and decide not to take an example."
Li Honglian is also a symbolic tantrum, it is impossible to really punish people at this time, she wants face, and she can't discredit the Prime Minister at this time.
Xia Li didn't raise her eyes when she heard these noises, she still knelt there and burned paper money.
Li Honglian saw that she had almost said something to her subordinates, so she slowly walked to Xia Li's side:
"Li'er! If you're hungry, let's go eat first! It's good for your aunt to be here for you for a while."
It was impossible for Xia Li not to reply when he heard the question, and he said:
"No, I want to be with my mother"
She won't speak politely, she is usually used to going straight in the Dark Moon Palace, and after speaking, she felt that there was something wrong with this, and said: "You are busy with your aunt, I am not hungry"
Li Honglian's eyes changed when she heard this, and then she said gently: "People can't be resurrected after death, and they have to mourn when they leave their sons!"
After saying this, he stopped persuading, raised his feet and left.
Thinking of her as the first lady in Beijing, such polite words are already her limit.
Xia Li didn't explain anymore, she was learning how to be obedient.
After a short time, she suddenly got up and ran outside, and all the mothers-in-law in the house widened their eyes strangely, wondering what was wrong with this young lady? Could it be sad and crazy?
Xia Li stood outside the door with a face full of hope, because the early cold had returned, and she had heard her voice.
