CHAPTER XIX

Since the Hou Mansion received the news from the Taishi Mansion, the whole family was called to sit in the lobby, Aunt Jing had cried and fainted several times, Aunt Qiu and Aunt Mei comforted her on the side, the old lady sat on the main seat, Zhou Yunxue and Zhou Yunshuang and Zhou Yunyu sat down, no one spoke, only cried and whispered a low voice of comfort, then the housekeeper ran in and said to the old lady, "Lord Hou is back." ”

Everyone looked out of the door, fingertips Zhou Nanzhi came in with a cold face, and Lai Taijun got up and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou Yunxue's three sisters also got up to look at her, and Aunt Jing was already crying and crawled over to hug Zhou Nanzhi's legs, and said, "Master, where is my Xia'er, where is my Xia'er." "Obviously she was happy to be a bride this morning, but in the evening someone came to say that she had been killed.

After Zhou Nanzhi raised his eyes and signaled the two aunts on the side to help her away, he sat down next to the old lady, twisted his eyebrows and said, "The huge man has already taken someone to inspect it, although the huge man didn't say it, but I also saw it, it was like a vendetta, and I don't know who Sister Xia provoked on weekdays, and she was so cruel to her." ”

Aunt Jing who was crying was a voice, it was her, it must be her, and only she would find Xia'er for revenge, she was a little uneasy since Mo Tao disappeared, but after so long, but there was no action, she was a little lax at Xia'er's wedding today, thinking that she had guessed wrong, but she didn't expect it to be waiting in the Taishi Mansion, such a vicious woman, she would definitely let her bury Xia'er.

Zhou Yunxue glanced at Aunt Jing who had a fierce look on the ground, and pressed the corners of her upturned mouth with a handkerchief, this is just the beginning, but if she can't stand it, then she won't be fun.

Late at night, the old lady let everyone disperse, Aunt Jing was helped back to the house by the maid left and right, and looked at the gauze tent on the top of the bed with empty eyes, Mo Xiang and Mo Yan changed her clothes, and then retreated.

Tonight, everyone in the Hou Mansion and the Taishi Mansion is destined to be a sleepless night, except for Zhou Yunxue, she was served and bathed by a few people in Lychee, so she lay on the bed and sighed lightly, it was a pity that she didn't see the tragic situation with her own eyes, before she died that day, Zhou Yunxia arrogantly asked her to find her for revenge, and now she is back to find her, can she stand it? Wait, after a while, she will send Aunt Jing down to accompany her.

The Taishi Mansion, which was still jubilant yesterday, hung up white flags today, and people passing by were talking about it, the hall had been placed in the mourning hall, the coffin was empty, Zhou Yunxia's body was still in Jing Zhaoyin's county office, and the body of the case was not closed naturally could not be buried.

"My lord, the arrest warrant has been sent out." Master said

"Hmm." The huge man raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "Can the identity of the man who died be found out?" ”

"Back to my lord, I found out, it's a second-rate son in the suburbs of Beijing, I do some things like stealing chickens and dogs on weekdays, I bullied a woman a few days ago and ran away, the woman's family reported to the official, and the case accepted by the adult was arrested, but I didn't expect to die in the Taishi Mansion."

"I think about what you said, is it the female corpse found by the moat a few days ago?"

"Lord Hui, exactly."

"Then what does this person have to do with Miss Zhou?"

"Back to my lord, the two have nothing to do with each other."

The huge man's brows were furrowed, this murderer couldn't be found, and the two had nothing to do with each other, so how could he explain to the Hou Mansion and the Taishi Mansion.

"Miss Zhou's two maids were detained in the county government first, and you sent someone to interrogate who she had a personal vendetta or quarrel with on weekdays, and they were all recorded."

"Yes, my lord."

Aunt Jing has been said to be ill since she was helped back to the yard that night, Zhou Yunxue just smiled when she heard the news from the little maid, she was afraid that it was fake, what was planned was true, she knew who the murderer was, but she couldn't say that Zhou Yunxia, who was originally a victim, would be poked in the backbone by everyone, and she would be scolded for dying, it was better to send her to see Zhou Yunxia as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night.

Zhou Yunxue instructed the pomegranate a few words, and then led the hawthorn and lychee out of the door, they were going to the Taishi Mansion today to mourn, the case was not solved, but the body had been put for two days, in the end, it was the wife of the Taishi Mansion who had worshipped the church, and the daughter of the Hou Mansion, so it was naturally not okay to let it go, and the Taishi Mansion let people carry it back to enter the museum yesterday.

Zhou Nanzhi and Zhou Qingzhi have already waited outside the door, the old lady naturally does not go, and Aunt Jing is an aunt, although she is her own daughter, she can't go, and the Hou Mansion will not let an aunt go out and embarrass people, so the three sisters plus Zhou Nanzhi and Zhou Qingzhi.

Zhou Qingzhi still wore masks when he went out, several people came to the Taishi Mansion in a carriage, the slave at the door led a few people to the mourning hall, Wu Changjun knelt by the brazier in white and burned paper money, in the end, it was the wife of Ming Media who was marrying, and several of his concubines were also kneeling beside him, pretending to cry twice.

Seeing everyone in the Hou Mansion, Wu Changjun got up to greet him, and greeted everyone with a sad face, "Father-in-law, second uncle, three sisters, you are here." ”

Zhou Nanzhi nodded, the servant had already lit the incense, a few people took it and bowed, let the maid on the side plug in the incense burner, Wu Changjun led a few people to the side hall, Zhou Qingzhi patted his shoulder, and said, "Brother Changjun mourns." ”

Wu Changjun sighed and nodded, "Please also ask your father-in-law, Qingzhi and all my sisters to mourn, Changjun will definitely find out the murderer and give Yunxia an explanation." ”

Wu Mingqing and Mrs. Wu were sitting in the side hall, and when they saw everyone coming over, they hurriedly got up to greet each other, invited Zhou Nan to take a seat, and said with a thick cry, "Brother Nan, Qingming has no face to face you." As he spoke, he was about to kneel, and Mrs. Wu on the side also wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Zhou Nanzhi hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, a trace of unhappiness flashed in his eyes, but his face did not show it, and said, "What are you doing in the Ming and Qing Dynasties." ”

Wu Mingqing said, "Mingqing is sorry for Brother Nan, sorry for the Hou Mansion." ”

Zhou Nanzhi frowned, and finally said, "This kind of thing happened not something that Brother Ming and Qing could have expected, it was Ben Hou who was impulsive last time, I don't blame you." ”

Zhou Yunxue sat down and lowered her eyes, her eyes flashed with a trace of disdain, she knew that some Wu family monsters could act.

Mrs. Wu wiped her tears, Zhou Yunshuang and Zhou Yunxue persuaded on the side, she raised her eyes to look at Zhou Yunxue, who was still sitting steadily, stopped crying, and said, "This Xia'er is gone, what can my Changjun do." He cried again.

Zhou Yunxue raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, she naturally knew what this family was planning again, and she wanted her to marry and dream.

Zhou Qingzhi sat beside her, looked at her sideways, and saw that her expression had not yet been reduced, her eyes were soft, Zhou Yunxue looked at the phoenix eyes that were glowing with glazed brilliance, was slightly stunned, and lowered her eyes.

Zhou Nanzhi's brows furrowed even tighter when he heard this, and he said, "Ben Hou's daughter has gone, Ben Hou is not the kind of unreasonable person, he doesn't need to keep three years of filial piety, just one year, and when the time comes, he will not interfere with another Ben Hou." ”

Wu Mingqing said: "But the marriage of the two families..."

Wu Changjun left his seat, knelt down on one knee to face Zhou Nanzhi, and said, "Changjun wants to marry Xue'er in a year, and I hope that my father-in-law will be fulfilled." ”

"Ben Hou won't agree." Zhou Nanzhi's eyes showed thin anger, this Taishi Mansion has already lost a daughter and Xiao wants his daughter to dream, originally the previous marriage contract was also looking at the Taishi Mansion is the mother of the three princes, so he reluctantly agreed, now this kind of thing has happened except for the first day when the three princes came forward, but in the past few days, they have ignored the Wu family, and it is not difficult to see that the three emperors have been disappointed in the Taishi Mansion, why should they marry another daughter.

"Father-in-law, Changjun sincerely asks to marry, and I hope that my father-in-law will be fulfilled." Wu Changjun looked at Zhou Yunxue, he was so sincere, but she didn't look at him

"Benhou's daughter will never marry into the Taishi Mansion again, you have died of this heart," Zhou Nanzhi got up and looked at Wu Changjun who was kneeling down, his eyes showed disdain, and said to Zhou Qingzhi and several daughters, "Let's go home." ”

Wu Mingqing looked at the few people who were far away, sighed, and said to Wu Changjun and Mrs. Wu who got up, "Master Hou said so, let's stop thinking about it." "I originally wanted to climb this big tree, but now the Taishi Mansion is gradually abandoned by the three princes, although the Hou Mansion has not been evil, but that's it, now the important thing is the attitude of the three princes, and I blame those people in the family for not being able to do things, dragging them down.

Wu Changjun lowered his head, although he was unwilling in his heart, but now is indeed not a good time, and after the matter is completed, he will see if Yong Ninghou can refuse so resolutely, Zhou Yunxue is married.

As soon as he entered the Hou Mansion, Zhou Nanzhi said to Zhou Yunxue behind him, "Follow me to the study." He walked towards the study

Zhou Yunxue obediently followed, the two entered the study, Zhou Nanzhi turned to her and said, "I won't agree to you marrying the Taishi Mansion." ”

Zhou Yunxue looked up at him and said with a smile, "Thank you father, my daughter doesn't want to marry into the Taishi Mansion." ”

"Really?" Zhou Nanzhi, this daughter has always liked Wu Changjun before, and today he asked to marry so sincerely, although he sternly refused, he was still afraid that his daughter would insist on marrying.

Zhou Yunxue nodded and said, "Seriously, the Taishi Mansion is not suitable for daughters, besides, the Taishi Mansion has gradually declined, although there are three princes, but I am afraid that it is only a burden to the three princes." "Since it is a burden, it must be cut off, the third prince is a smart person, if she hadn't married her in the previous life, the Wu family would have gotten out of Kyoto a long time ago.

Zhou Nanzhi looked at his daughter with some differences, in the end, it was his own daughter-in-law, although he was more than pampered and cared about, but he still knew what kind of character, he didn't expect to be able to say this today, it can be seen that he is not too stupid, so he didn't spare this head, and said, "It's good that you can think like this, I heard that you have often gone to Qingzhi recently?" ”

"Yes." Zhou Yunxue Road

"You're not blood relatives, so it's better to have fewer relationships." The way of Zhounan

Zhou Yunxue just smiled and said, "There is no need for my father to worry about this, if there is nothing to do, my daughter will go back to the room." ”

Zhou Nanzhi looked at her fixedly, Zhou Yunxue had a faint smile on her face, and she looked back without any fear, and now she wants to take care of her, and her father is afraid that he is also a person who thinks too much.

In the end, Zhou Nanzhi waved his hand and said, "Go ahead." ”

Zhou Yunxue gave a salute and exited the study, the hawthorn and lychee outside followed, but on the way back to the courtyard, she met Zhou Qingzhi, who seemed to be waiting for her on purpose, leaning on the railing, although wearing a mask, but such a casual action, but inexplicably with a trace of nobility.
