Chapter 194: Huang's "Death"
"Mrs. Huang is gone?!" The husband and wife were taken aback when they heard the news, and asked the little maid together, "Why not?" Isn't she still good at the Lantern Festival Palace banquet? β
Song Yixiao also greeted her at that time!
It's only been a few days?
"I heard that I had a sudden illness." The little maid said timidly, "Because things are in a hurry, people are in a hurry, and they have to go to other relatives to report the news, so they didn't invite him into the house at the door." β
Although Song Yixiao has always been a "grandmother" to the Huang family, and the Huang family is full of love when she sees her - but the nominal grandparents actually have no contact with each other in private, but they just tacitly show it to everyone.
So Song Yixiao heard that this grandmother was gone, although she was surprised, but she didn't have any grief, and after being surprised, she sent the little maid away, and discussed the condolence with her husband: "Since the Lu family has sent someone to report the news, we must have to leave." Otherwise, the scene is not good-looking! β
Jian Xu's white chin said: "Before there is a curfew, let's go show our faces first, and we won't stay for long if you want to come there." β
At that moment, the husband and wife called in the subordinates to tell them about it, and the master and servant went to change into plain clothes, and then arranged for the carriage and horses to leave the house and go to the Lu family to mourn.
Perhaps because it was late, and the Huang family went abruptly, so the front of the Lu Mansion was very deserted.
It's just that after the two of them entered, only the housekeeper came out, and explained with a strange expression: "My aunt and grandmother have just arrived, and I fainted due to excessive sadness, so it will be a bit chaotic in the house, and the lord is worried about my aunt's pregnancy, and I have no time to greet him, and I hope the two of you will forgive me!" β
β¦β¦ The Lu family has no relatives of the same clan in the imperial capital, and after the death of the Huang family's main mother, the younger generations naturally have to keep filial piety in the mourning hall.
Now there is only one Lu Yicheng in the Lu family who can go out to greet him - but this person is not only an official who worships the three products, but also a subordinate official of the prince, and he is also Song Yixiao's nominal grandfather, so it is understandable that he will not come out to greet him in person.
When Jian Xubai and his wife heard this, they said that they would not be tight.
Song Yixiao speculated from the housekeeper's words that the "aunt and grandmother" he said should be his stepmother Lu, and he couldn't help but express his concern: "Is my mother awake now?" β
"It's a man who is small, and it's not good to go into the inner courtyard to see it, but it's not clear." The housekeeper was a little flickering, and said vaguely, "But the master personally checked the pulse of my aunt and grandmother, and I didn't call the doctor, so I think it shouldn't be a big deal, right?" β
"Then I'll go see my mother later, don't you know if it's convenient?" Song Yi smiled and said casually.
According to what she thought, this kind of trivial matter must be fine, but she didn't want the housekeeper to laugh dryly, and said, "Miss Biao is filial, and the little one doesn't dare to stop it." It's just that my aunt and grandmother are still grieving, so I just said that I don't want to be disturbed, and I ask Miss Cousin not to be surprised! β
β¦β¦ Since Song Yixiao called the Lu family "mother", the Lu family can also treat her as the daughter of the Lu family, even if she is already the wife of the country, and calling her "Miss Cousin" is not slack, but it is full of affection.
But in fact, she is not familiar with the Lu family, and the housekeeper will call her "Miss Table", which deliberately reminds her of the estrangement between the two parties.
"Even if the two sides are not close, but the stepmother faints during pregnancy, what does it matter if I go to see?" How sharp is Song Yixiao? As soon as I heard this, I felt that the situation was wrong, "Is it inconvenient for my stepmother to visit me at the moment, or is the Lu family unwilling for me to see my stepmother?" Or both? β
If it's inconvenient, she and the Lu family are both women, even if the Lu family can't get up from the couch now, it is natural for the nominal daughter to enter the house and go into the tent to shush the cold and ask for warmth - so Song Yixiao thinks that the most likely thing is that the Lu family deliberately obstructed it!
"That's weird!" She thought to herself, "I have also met with my stepmother before, and it is not bad for her." Besides, even if I want to harm her, can I do it in the Lu Mansion, which I don't know well? What is the Lu family doing to prevent me from doing this? β
After thinking about it, they had already been led to the mourning hall - after the memorial, the Lu family in the filial piety curtain replied according to the rules, and Jian Xubai and his wife wanted to say some words of relief and comfort, but they didn't want Song Yi to smile before they said softly: "I also hope that my uncle, aunt, and cousins will mourn!" β
Behind the curtain of filial piety, a young man suddenly said sadly and angrily: "It's all you!" You still have a face......
The words stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of scuffling, and when I heard it, I was cut off.
Song Yixiao couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, Jian Xubai also frowned, and said, "I don't know what my cousin means by this?" β
"Don't be surprised!" After whispering a few words behind the curtain, the son and eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family personally picked out the curtain and explained, "The dog has been raised under the knee of the first mother, and this time the first mother died due to a recurrence of the old disease, and the dog was so sad that his mind was a little confused. Where the lady of Yan Guo collided, Wanwang Haihan! β
Saying that, he ordered the young man to come out and kowtow to make amends - a moment later, a young man with red and swollen eyes and an angry expression was pushed out, but he still held his head high and refused to admit his mistake, and under the stern gaze of his parents, he knelt down reluctantly: "Please punish Mrs. Yanguo!" β
"My cousin is serious!" Song Yixiao adheres to the teachings of her mother Wei Mengying, "Be generous in front of people", which will not care about him, and said gently and gently, "My cousin is a person of pure filial piety, how can I be punished?" β
Helped him to get up, and he was about to say something, but the young man gave her a look of disgust, and quickly turned around and went into the curtain - his parents were very embarrassed when they saw this, and were about to call him out again to make amends, but Song Yixiao was too lazy to be polite, and directly led the topic to Lu's body: "I just heard the housekeeper say that my mother fainted because of excessive grief?" β
Without waiting for them to answer, he added, "I can't be relieved to hear this news, and I really want to go and see it!" But the housekeeper said that my mother would be afraid that she would not be in the mood to see me, and I don't know if she could let me take a look outside, so I can rest assured? After all, my mother's body is already heavy, and I really can't go back if I don't see it with my own eyes! β
What she said was reasonable, and the Lu family was very reluctant to look at it, but after hearing it, they couldn't find any reason to oppose it - after all, Song Yi joked about this, and if they refused again, it would not only be unkind, but also red. Bare. Tell Song Yixiao and his wife naked, there is a problem here!
"My sister is resting in the wing room now, if you look outside, it's fine, but it's better not to go in." The daughter-in-law of the Lu family said after thinking about it, "The main thing is that she fainted because she was too excited before, and now she is still calming down, and when she sees someone again, I'm afraid she will be excited again - you know, she has a body of seven months!" The Song family is now thin in children, and we really don't dare to ask her to take risks! β
This was based on Song Yixiao's reason for asking to see the Lu family, and the army was opposed: If Song Yixiao doesn't want to be suspected of deliberately murdering her stepmother's pregnancy, then it's best to follow the Lu family's requirements and only look at the Lu family outside, and don't let the Lu family find out!
Naturally, it is impossible to speak.
Song Yixiao had no choice but to agree, but her doubts were deeper.
A moment later, she was led to the backyard by the Lu family, and sure enough, she only looked through the window lattice - the curtain was hanging low, although the lights were lit, but God knows if the figure was Lu's?
Rao is like this, Song Yixiao didn't stand for a while, and the Lu family's subordinates hinted that she should go.
In the end, you can't force your way into someone's house, right?
Song Yixiao was helpless, so she only got her husband to say goodbye to the front.
After leaving the Lu Mansion, Jian Xubai frowned: "The attitude of the Lu family is a little strange today, when we arrive, Lu Yicheng doesn't come out to greet him, but when he leaves, he doesn't show up, but he looks down on us a little!" β
After all, although the couple are juniors, the lintel of the Yanguo Mansion is there, especially the two sides are not familiar with each other, and it is more and more difficult to lose the number of rudeness in this case.
"I'm thinking about something!" Song Yi's smile sank like water, tilted her head to her husband's ear, and said in a low voice, "Is the death of my grandmother Huang related to Cui Jianpi's matter?" β
Jian was stunned: "She is a relative of the crown princess, as far as I know: she has always done things for the crown princess!" β
"Cui Jianlian's dealings with the Liu family and the Jin family were told to me by my stepmother." Song Yi smiled and reminded in a deep voice, "She said at the time that she overheard it when she was eating wine at her mother's house - I always thought that she actually got the news from the Song family!" β
After all, Huang has always been the crown princess's person on the surface, and it is said that she knows Cui Jianlian's secret, and she will definitely tell the crown princess. And the crown princess didn't know that Song Yixiao would notice You Qingchun's bad intentions, and sent Cui Jianlian on the road with a plan - the crown princess, who regarded Cui Jianlian as a big trouble, naturally wanted to borrow Song Yixiao's hand to announce this matter!
But these days, the crown princess has never mentioned this matter to Song Yixiao.
When the Lu family revealed this matter, they didn't mention the crown princess for half a word!
"My father has always had a good relationship with Liu Zhenxi, and it is said that when he married Liu, he was the matchmaker made by Liu Zhenxi himself." Song Yi smiled and flicked the bracelet on her wrist, feeling upset, "And my stepmother now, it seems that for a while I wanted to make peace with our father and daughter!" So I thought she heard from my father about Cui Jianlian's contact with the Liu family and the Jin family, but she was afraid that I would become more and more estranged from my father, so she deliberately used her mother's family as a cover! β
But now it seems that it is very likely that the news of the Lu family was really heard from the Huang family!
Otherwise, why did Huang die so abruptly?
And why is the Lu family's attitude towards them so strange?
After all, although Song Yixiao has no blood relationship with the Lu family, she has no grudges!
Today, as soon as I received the news of Huang's death, I rushed over to pay tribute despite the fact that it was late, how could it be regarded as giving the Lu family face!
In this case, there is no reason why the Lu family should not treat each other politely!
UnlessβHuang's death has something to do with their couple, or rather, in the eyes of the Lu family, it has something to do with them!
"If the Huang family is doing things for the little Cui family behind the back of the crown princess, then it's no wonder that she is going to die!" Jian Xubai frowned when he heard this, and then said expressionlessly, "The imperial grandmother and Cui Guifei can spare her, and the crown princess can't spare her!" β
He doesn't think that his wife needs to be held responsible for Huang's death, "This Huang is just your nominal grandmother, who has no blood relationship with you, nor has she fulfilled any responsibility of raising and caring for her, and you have not lost her face on the scene - you don't owe her at all, but she took the initiative to calculate you, don't you deserve to die?" I didn't expect this section, otherwise the kid who spoke disrespectfully to you wouldn't be so easy to let him go! β
"I don't care about the Lu family!" Song Yixiao leaned her head on his shoulder, and said with a somewhat irritated expression, "I'm more worried about my stepmother!" If my guess is right, how do you think she's feeling right now? After all, when she told me the news, she meant it well! β
- When Lu told Song Yixiao the news, she definitely didn't expect that she would kill her own mother Huang one day, otherwise she might not have done that; But she was really worried about Song Yixiao at that time, so she told her.
In Song Yixiao's plan to design Cui Jianlian, this news did play a big role.
So no matter what, Song Yixiao missed this stepmother in the end, and couldn't bear to let her hurt her body and mind too much.
"If that's the case, it's really not good for us to meet her now." Jian Xubai also had a headache when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Fortunately, she is not uncared for, the Lu family does not count, and the Song family will definitely not sit idly by and watch something happen to her heir." But we don't have to worry too much! β
Song Yi smiled and sighed heavily: "But let's hope so!" If something happens to her baby, I'...... I don't know what to do anymore? β
