Chapter Twenty-Three: No One Lives
Mother Rong answered, but instead of going in to get something, she told her mother-in-law to go to the front door.
Li Wenqing was about to ask the steward around him to follow.
There was a noisy sound in the front yard immediately, and the people on the door ran to Li Wenqing and said, "Second master, there is a coffin parked outside our house." ”
The freshly painted coffins, dark and shiny in the sun, neatly lined up one by one from the front of Li's house, all the way out of the alley, have never seen such a battle in Taiyuan City.
Who would have died so many people at once.
As soon as the coffin appeared, the streets and alleys were full of discussions.
Li Wenqing's face turned pale, Ji is cursing them?
"Ji, do you still have any rules, don't forget that you are the wife of the Li family."
Ji Yanran said: "It was my second aunt who asked me to take out the dowry, that is my dowry, a coffin shop in Taiyuan City." ”
Coffin shop, listen, who would give such a dowry, Mrs. Li Second went to see Mrs. Li San, but Mrs. Li San looked fluttering, as if she didn't realize anything.
Second Mrs. Li gritted her teeth, she knew that Li Wenwen and his wife were not good people, and they pretended to be stupid with her at the critical moment.
Ji Yanran said: "Wedding, funeral, and marriage are mundane things that no one can escape, my dowry is unknown to outsiders, don't you know about it, second aunt?" I married into the Li family for three years, and the Li family never used my dowry? ”
Second Mrs. Li sneered: "I don't know if you still have these, which family's bridesmaid would bring such a dowry to her husband's house." "It's unlucky.
Ji Yanran was surprised and said, "Huh": "Second aunt, how can you not recognize it after eating." Without waiting for the second wife to refute, she looked at Rong's mother.
Mother Rong immediately bowed down and said, "The incense candles and sacrificial utensils from our courtyard are all taken from the coffin shop," she said, looking at the head of Mrs. Li's second wife, "There are also the hairpins that our grandmother gave you, those clothes, and the Ruyi jade pillow that you pillow when you took a nap......"
Coffin shop, hairpin, clothing, wishful pillow......
Second Mrs. Li seemed to have thought of something, should the ones that Ji gave her ...... They were all taken from the coffin shop, right?
Half-new and not old objects, not very precious, but the only thing that the Ji family can come up with, after the decline of the Ji family, the Ji family married from the side tribe, the dowry is pitiful, in order to gain a foothold in the Li family, the Ji family also took out a lot of things to dot, those things she never thought about the source.
In the past, she also heard that those who dig graves and rob graves, if they want to sell some stolen goods, they dare not take them to pawnshops, so they simply send them to the coffin shop, and the things bought in the coffin shop are directly buried and not circulated in the market, so no one will pursue them.
"The second master, the third master, the second wife, and the third wife, I am the shopkeeper of the coffin shop."
A gloomy voice rang out.
The mother-in-law was followed by an old man in his fifties and sixties who was wearing dark blue short brown, a gust of wind blew, the old man had a fresh smell of lacquer, his hands were placed there in a regular manner, his fingers were as thin as wood, his nails were very short, but the cracks of the nails were all black dirt, and he was holding a box in his hand: "This is a gift from our third grandmother to the second wife." ”
Second Mrs. Li took a step back, the box was exactly the same as the sandalwood box that Ji gave her, she was really right, those things were ......
Second Mrs. Li seemed to smell a rancid smell, she forcibly suppressed the nausea in her heart, and was about to speak, but saw the man's gaze fall on her.
What she was wearing on her head was the hairpin that Ji Yanran had given her filial piety, and Second Mrs. Li shivered, and couldn't help but stretch out her hand and pull out the hairpin on her head and throw it on the ground.
She was sure it wasn't the right thing to come from.
"This is what I gave to my second aunt, why did the second aunt throw it away."
Ji Yanran's voice came, and Second Mrs. Li suddenly came back to her senses and found that all the eyes around her fell on her.
Ji Yanran looked at the ground regretfully: "I finally found such a finely made one, why did the second aunt throw it away, don't you dislike it...... I can't help it, the public school doesn't give me a monthly example, and I want to honor my second aunt, that's the only way...... Over the years, I have tried my best to be a good daughter-in-law. ”
"You ......" Second Mrs. Li looked fierce, "Our Li family does not have a daughter-in-law like you." ”
Hearing this, Ji Yanran raised her face: "How can it not be, don't forget, it was I who rescued San Lang from prison, and it was I who sought medical treatment for San Lang, and I did not lose filial piety to my elders on weekdays." ”
"I did this desperately, if anyone casually questioned me, slandered me, and wanted to harm me, then I ......" Ji Yanran laughed, "I can only give those coffins to him." ”
"I can't live, no one wants to live."
Gu Heng looked at it quietly: "That hairpin was brought by Mrs. Ji, but she gave such a thing to Mrs. Li, it seems that her life has not been very good in the past few years." ”
Chang Zheng nodded, the prince didn't like the Ji family, and he had long expected that the Ji family would have such a result, which didn't just prove that the prince was wise and martial.
Chang Zheng was about to praise Gu Heng, but found that Gu Heng's blink of an eye had already walked in front of Mrs. Li, and he bent down to pick up the hairpin on the ground.
Li Wenqing's eyelids jumped heavily, he heard that the prince of Chengen came to the door, and he pretended to ignore it, because the interests of this prince come first, no matter whether he is right or wrong, the number of ways is completely incomprehensible. That's why he wanted to clean up the Ji clan as soon as possible, and then deal with the more difficult problems later.
Ji Yanran watched Gu Heng pinching the golden hairpin and looked at the sun, and then the hairpin disappeared from his hand.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Heng smiled and said as if nothing happened: "Third Grandma Li can't say this, if the third grandmother has a mistake, even if Master Ji is far away, I may not necessarily know, after I returned to Beijing, I accidentally told the elders of the Lin family that the third grandmother committed suicide in the coffin and lost her life for the Li family, and the old lady of the Lin family will definitely ask the emperor for a title." ”
Gu Heng's gaze swept lightly from in front of Li Wenqing: "Grandma Li San, while you are here, it is better to think of a title for yourself!" The Li family, big and small, will all have to count on this title to live in the future. ”
Gu Heng was obviously talking about the Ji family, but Li Wenqing felt a chill in his back, and the prince of Chengen was threatening him.
After speaking, Gu Heng showed a bright smile.
"Wait," Li Wenwen said suddenly, "After that title is down, we are not forcing our nephew and daughter-in-law to death." ”
After speaking, Li Wenqing grabbed Li Wenqing's wrist: "Second brother, it's your idea to send down Yanran, it has nothing to do with me, this title is down, I ...... I don't want to answer it. ”
Li Wenqing flicked his sleeves and pushed Li Wenwen away: "If you want to go crazy, go back to your own house." ”
"Hehe," Gu Heng ignored Li Wenqing, who was annoyed and ashamed, and turned his head to meet Ji Yanran, his eyes were bright and his smile was bright, "Grandma Li San, I'll do a business with you, even if you invite Master Shikong out of Qishan Temple to pay a deposit, when I catch the murderer who killed you, you can do me another favor, and we can settle the two?" ”
