123. Guarding the Mausoleum
I went over and said, "You guys are too much, what good is it for you to come if people have three longs and two shorts?" β
The two soldiers looked at me and said: "This is a decision from above, not for us to decide, if Mrs. Yuan wants a doctor, then let Yuan Jiuye write an abdication letter, if he writes, the doctor will arrive immediately, as for the rest, there is no need to say more, you also understand, it is in vain to say too much." β
What the soldier said was indeed right, no matter how much he said now, it was in vain, didn't they just want to use this method to force Yuan Chengjun? Looking at him as a country or a son, he is really despicable and shameless, but he is the most powerless place.
In the past, I always thought that Huo Changfan might be more merciful than Yuan Chengjun, but now I feel wrong, in this dispute over power, no one has ever been more merciful, only who is more cruel than the other.
Huo Changfan and Mu Jingchi will only be better than Yuan Chengjun.
Instead of pestering the two soldiers, I retreated through the door, where the maid was crying and asking me what to do.
In fact, I don't know what I can do, obviously whether Yuan Lin can live or not depends on what Yuan Chengjun thinks.
Yuan Lin's body is full of whip wounds, his resistance is too low, if the wound does not grow well in a few days, it may be infected, once the infection is for him, it is equivalent to half a foot falling into the mud, in the absence of a doctor, even if he can survive today and tomorrow, he will not be able to survive the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, it is not a way to go on like this.
I walked around the room, thought about it, and walked over to the two soldiers at the door, and said to them, "Is it as long as Yuan Chengjun writes an abdication letter, he will come to the doctor?" β
The two soldiers said, "Grandma Yuan is right. β
I said, "Well, in that case, I ask to see Mrs. Mu Jiamu." β
The two soldiers immediately looked at me, guessing what medicine I was selling in my gourd.
I said again: "I can tell you very clearly, if Yuan Lin has three longs and two shorts, then for Yuan Chengjun, the only threat is gone, and at that time he will not follow your ideas, I will find a way to persuade him, but the premise is that you have to cooperate with me." Then I said, "If you can't be the Lord, you can apply as you are." β
The two soldiers looked at each other, and then they looked at me and said, "Wait a minute. β
Then one of them departed through the door, about to declare, and as soon as the soldier was gone, I waited for news, and for about an hour the soldier came back and said to me, "We have gone and asked Mrs. Mu to come over for you." β
It seems that there is a willingness, and I am inexplicably relieved.
I asked again, "When will you come?" β
The soldier said, "Soon." β
I didn't speak again, because at this time the maid came over again, crying and saying to me, "Young grandma, the second master seems to have a fever!" β
Hearing the maid's words, I hurriedly walked over and tested his forehead with my hand, and sure enough, it was hot, Yuan Lin's breath became weaker and weaker, no matter how he called him, he didn't react at all and didn't feel it at all.
I looked at the sky outside the window, and kept hoping in my heart that Wang Zhizhi could come early, and if I could come earlier, Yuan Lin would be less dangerous, but Wang Zhizhi arrived almost an hour later, Yuan Lin's body temperature was getting lower and lower, his whole body was as cold as a dead man, Wang Zhizhi's car finally stopped outside Yuan's house, and the maid followed her.
She had just arrived at the door, and Yuan Lin's little girl came to her crying and said, "Second girl, come and take a look, the second master is dying, if you don't come to the doctor again, people will be saved." β
Wang Zhizhi couldn't take care of it too much, and after arriving at Yuan Lin's bedside, she didn't say anything for a long time when she saw him in such a situation, she stood there for a long time, and then looked at me and asked, "What are you asking me to come over?" β
I said, "Get a doctor." β
Wang Zhizhi laughed lightly twice and asked, "I can't help it." She turned her face to the side: "I told him a long time ago, but he didn't listen, and now it's like this, isn't it a matter of time?" β
Wang Zhizhi's face was indifferent.
I said, "He's your nephew, are you just watching him die?" β
Wang Zhizhi didn't speak, still maintaining the posture of facing me on the other side.
I said again: "You go to Yuan Chengjun and ask him whether his son is important or his country is important, and if his country is important, why don't you give him a stab?" Is it interesting to torture him like this? β
Wang Zhizhi turned her head to look at me, she probably didn't expect me to surprisingly meddle in Yuan Lin's affairs, she looked at me a few times with a little suspicion and asked, "You are so kind?" β
I said: "You have to go to Yuan Chengjun, the day after tomorrow, Yuan Lin will definitely die if he continues like this." β
She sneered twice: "Didn't I find him enough?" I said a lot of words to persuade him, but he didn't listen, and now what can I do. β
After all, it was Wang Zhizhi's nephew lying on the hospital bed, and she said with slightly red eyes: "I'll try again to see if he will agree." Wang Zhizhi hurriedly walked outside again.
After she left, I turned around and returned to Yuan Lin's side, but I didn't expect that just after sitting down, he who had been unconscious opened his eyes at this time, and I held his hand and called: "Yuan Lin." β
He looked unexpectedly sober, and though he didn't look much better than he had yesterday, he had at least some strength to speak, and that strength was enough to be heard.
He said, "Did she come just now?" β
Yuan Linsui didn't say who it was, but I knew he was referring to Wang Zhizhi.
I said, "She's gone to find your father." β
Yuan Lin said: "You shouldn't go to him, in his life, his country is heavier than too many things, how can he let go of all this that he finally obtained." β
I said, "Don't be so desperate, he is your father, and nothing in this world can be more important than his own child's life." β
But Yuan Lin laughed mockingly when he heard it, he lay there with his eyes closed, his face looked extremely pale, without a trace of blood, he was awake for a while, and soon fell asleep again.
We waited until late at night, and did not wait for Wang Zhizhi to come back again, but her maid came over and said to us, "Our wife has done her best." β
What this sentence means, we all understand that Yuan Lin's little maid and maid all cried out in an instant.
I didn't expect this to be the result, so I confirmed it and asked, "But you haven't agreed yet?" β
The maid nodded and said, "After our wife went over, she was slapped by the ninth master, and when she came out, her face was swollen and her ears were ringing. β
I said, "Then he doesn't care about Yuan Lin's life or death now." β
The maid nodded and said, "Our lady has really done her best, young grandmother." β
I whispered, "I see, you can go back." β
The maid said, "Yes." And he departed from here.
I turned around and walked towards Yuan Lin again, he woke up again, his eyes were surprisingly bright, and he asked, "Did you not agree?" β
I didn't know how to answer his question, but he smiled and said, "I always knew the answer." β
I said, "Wait, I guess he's still thinking about it, it's not a trivial matter." β
Yuan Lin said: "He is my father, and I also know what kind of person he is." β
I changed the subject and asked, "Would you like something to eat?" Porridge was delivered from the kitchen. β
Yuan Lin shook his head and said, "I have no appetite, I'm a little tired and want to rest." β
Yuan Lin's little servant cried on the side and said, "Second master, you should eat somewhat, you haven't eaten a grain of rice for a few days." β
Yuan Lin opened his eyes and looked at the tent above his head and said, "You say, when will that child be born?" β
The little maid and the maid still didn't understand what kind of child Yuan Lin was talking about, so I immediately added a sentence on the side: "The maid over there said that the child has just been pregnant for two months, and generally the child will land in October when she is pregnant, and there are still eight months, and you will be a father in eight months." β
He sighed: "Eight months, that's a long time." He clutched his chest and coughed twice and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to wait." β
I sat next to him and held his hand in my heart and said, "We are all still so young, we will not wait, we still have tens of hundreds of thousands of years and months in the future, and the birth of the child may be just the day of spring after the Chinese New Year, presumably it will be a good time at that time." β
Yuan Lin listened, and even laughed out loud, he hadn't laughed like this for a long time, since he lost a leg, since then, his face is still gloomy in addition to gloomy, at this time he actually had a sense of relief, he held my hand, and said to me: "I just had a dream, I dreamed that you sat on the edge of my bed, concentrating on embroidering clothes for me, it was a winter, it was very cold, it was a heavy snow day outside, but there was a big fire burning in the house, and it was very warm inside, I can hardly feel the cold outside, the firewood crackles in the brazier, you complain to me that the price of vegetables in the market has risen again, the heavy snow outside has blocked the road, let me not go out to work tomorrow morning, take it with me at home, the children sit not far away, and write their homework carefully under the light, we seem to be old, our hair is gray, and our faces are no longer as smooth and beautiful as before, but they are unexpectedly comfortable. At that time, I really wanted to sleep, but you kept nagging in my ear, telling me not to sleep too long, it's still early, talk to you, but I didn't resist, I fell asleep like that, and when I woke up again, you really sat on the edge of my bed. β
Yuan Lin stared at my face for a long time, and he said with a little regret: "But you are still so young, if I listen to you and don't fall asleep, then we can be regarded as white, do you say?" β
I said, "That white head is fake." I lifted his hand up and put it in my hair and said, "You see, it's still black and smooth, which proves that we can grow old slowly, doesn't it?" β
He smiled, narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes." β
I saw that he was so sleepy, and seemed to be talking to me with all his strength, and I immediately whispered again, "If you are tired, you can sleep again, maybe something else happened in your dream that you didn't expect?" β
He nodded and said, "Well, I'm really sleepy." β
I said, "Shall I sing you a song?" β
He said, "Can I order it myself?" β
I shook his hand and said, "Of course." β
Yuan Lin said: "The end of the world singer." β
I smiled and said, "I only know the second half of the song." β
He closed his eyes tiredly and whispered, "Whatever." β
His grip on me was gradually loosening.
I held on to it, crying and singing: "Who doesn't tie up youth in life."
The little sister is like a thread and a needle
Lang Ya wears them together and does not separate
Oops, oops, hey, hey
Wear them together without separation. β
Yuan Lin fell asleep again, his breathing was very weak, and his hand kept sliding down, I thought it was his sleep, and I didn't care anymore, but grabbed it again, just kept repeating the second half, at this time, the maid suddenly called out in horror on the side: "Young grandma!" β
I didn't understand what the maid said, so I looked back at her and asked, "What's wrong?" β
The maid pointed to Yuan Lin's face and said, "Blood! β
I turned around suddenly, and just saw a long string of blood beads flowing from the corner of Yuan Lin's mouth, I was startled, and called out urgently: "Yuan Lin!" β
He didn't react, I shook him twice, and then I was a little panicked, and I didn't hold his hand, and Yuan Lin's hand slipped down like this.
When I tried to catch it again, I noticed that there was a small bottle next to his horn, and I picked it up and looked at it, it was a whole bottle of poison, and I don't know when it was on him.
I looked at him, then at the bottle of medicine, and instantly understood, and I ran out the door, shouting Doctor Doctor, come Doctor!
The two soldiers stopped me, and I grabbed one of them by the shirt and said, "Go and report!" Get to the doctor! The second master committed suicide by taking poison! β
As soon as the two soldiers heard this, they immediately rushed to Yuan Lin's bedside, and they used their fingertips to probe Yuan Lin's snort, so frightened that they immediately retreated, and then rushed out to report again.
I sat on the edge of Yuan Lin's bed, hugged him, and hugged him hard, but the blood at the corner of his mouth was flowing more and more, and I couldn't stop it.
I kept wiping for him, crying quietly and said: "Yuan Lin, you can't do this, you hold on for a while, soon, the doctor will come soon, we haven't grown old together, you wake up, don't fall asleep, don't fall asleep, everything in the dream is fake, I am the real one, you open your eyes and look at me, look at me!" β
Suddenly, he coughed twice, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, I don't know if it was because of the pain, he suddenly pushed my hand with all his strength, grabbed the sheets with his hands, tilted his head and stared wide-eyed, staring at the tent above his head and panting hard, and his forehead was a burst of green tendons.
Surrounded by the loud cries of the maids, his eyes searching for something in confusion, and for a moment he craned his neck to look at everyone beside the bed, and he landed on top of me and stretched out his hand to me.
I immediately reached over and held it tightly, Yuan Lin gasped and said, "No, no, don't save me." He pulled the green tendons around his neck and repeated to me again: "Don't save me, let me go." β
I cried and said, "Yuan Lin, don't be like this, don't be like this, you still have children, have you forgotten?" He was still in his mother's arms for two months, and you want him to be a fatherless child? What should we do in the future? You can't be so selfish, I said that there are so many of us, what will it be like in the future, we face it together, whether it is life or death, we are all together, why do you want to be like this?! Can't you spend more time with us? I shook his body and shouted, "Yuan Lin! β
He gasped and said, "I'm too tired, I'm a burden, I don't want him to be embarrassed." I am his son, I know. β
I said: "You don't know, you don't know, you are his son, how can it be a burden to him, Yuan Lin, you hold on for a while, I beg you to hold on for a while." β
At this time, there was a shout outside, it was Yuan Lin's little servant, he rushed to the door and shouted: "Second master!" The lord wrote! The lord wrote! β
Before he said this, the whole person suddenly fell down, and he slammed on the ground, but soon, he got up again, rushed to Yuan Lin's bedside, held Yuan Lin's hand and said: "Second master, the master wrote the abdication book, he wrote the abdication book!" The doctor will be here soon, you have to hold on, you have to hold on! β
Yuan Lin didn't laugh, but his eyes were as big as Tongling, his face was flushed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, he cried and shouted Dad, and then his body twitched.
The doctor immediately rushed over, pressed his body, opened his mouth, took the medicine and poured it down, but after pouring it in, he spit it out, and after pouring it for dozens of minutes, Yuan Lin's body recovered its calm from the initial struggle, and for a long time, the doctor gasped and stopped, looked at me standing aside and said, "It's too late." β
I stumbled several times, and the maid on the side immediately supported me, I was a little unconvinced and asked, "What do you mean it's too late?" Doctor? I rushed over and grabbed him by the garment and said, "I beg you to save him, I beg you." β
In the face of my pleading, the doctor just patted me on the shoulder three times, and then glanced at Yuan Lin, who was not moving on the bed, but shook his head helplessly, and left the room with the medicine box.
I was soft on the ground, and all the maids and servants in the house knelt there, crying: "Second master." β
But where is there a second master in this world, in just a few seconds, the second master completely disappeared from this world, and there is no second master again.
I inexplicably remembered that when we first met, he was wearing a tall military uniform, holding a long whip in his hand, stepping on military boots, with a tall figure, a high-spirited and graceful appearance of a prince of a wealthy family, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of confident smiles.
He's only twenty-five this year.
I lay on the ground whimpering and crying.
Yuan Lin, are you back...... We're having a good time, okay.
I cried so hard in the ground, I don't know how long I cried, until I was hoarse and I didn't have any strength anymore, and finally someone came outside, the undertaker who had come to collect the body.
They wanted to clean up Yuan Lin, but I didn't let them move, hugged Yuan Lin's body, blocked in front of them and said, "Wait, the body is not cold yet, there is still some temperature, you wait." β
At this time, Huo Changfan walked in with someone, and after seeing the situation in the house, he also sighed with a long sigh, and after a long time, he said to the undertaker: "Wait, wait until it's cold, it's not too late to move." β
Then, Huo Changfan said to the ceremonial officials around him: "It's not easy to bury it." β
The celebrant said, "Yes." β
Huo Changfan saw me crying like this, and came over to me again: "Don't cry, everyone is gone, and it won't help to cry again." At this time, I suddenly stood up from the ground, rushed to Huo Changfan, grabbed his shirt and asked, "What about Mu Jingchi?" You tell me, where is he? Why did he, why did he do this, wasn't it enough that he killed my whole family? Now I'm going to kill my husband! Why, why did he treat me like this. I dragged Huo Changfan like crazy and shook it, roaring and asking, "Tell me why!" β
Huo Changfan didn't dare to push me, but just let me break out in the wind, and the maid next to me immediately pulled me, crying and telling me to calm down.
But how can I calm down, in an instant, the sky has changed, everything before has become terrible, I actually died of my husband at such a young age, I became a widow, and all this, who made him like this?
Why, why, what the hell is all this, I fell to the ground and almost fainted from crying.
Huo Changfan stood there and looked at me for a long time, still sighing and said, "Things have come to this point, let's accept the facts." Huo Changfan didn't stay any longer, and left here with his hands behind his back.
For a moment the room was silent, and everyone stood still.
The undertaker was still waiting there.
I sat underground for about two hours, when the undertaker came to me and said, "Madam, don't miss the time, it's not good for him to leave dirty." β
I sat there staring blankly at the dark night and asked, "What's wrong?" β
The undertaker said, "It's not good for him to be in the underworld." β
I snorted twice and said, "What's wrong, the dead are dead, and there is still the underworld?" β
The mortuary officer looked at me for a long time, sighed and didn't care about me anymore, and began to clean up the blood on Yuan Lin's body, but he still had a blurred wound on his body, and it was not complete.
In order to make his body look complete, the mortuary officer stuffed some mixed flour into his wound, and after a little stuffing, the blood flowed straight down, and even I felt that the pain made people's backs cold, let alone Yuan Lin.
I rushed over again and stood in front of the mortuary: "You can just help him clean up the blood on his body, don't touch this kind of place, it will hurt." β
When the mortuary saw me say this, he couldn't say anything, so he wiped Yuan Lin's body clean, and then put on a new shroud, the color of the shroud set off his extremely old, like an old man, and his body was shrunk on the bed in a small lump, which was ridiculous.
The mortuary officer cleaned the part of Yuan Lin's face again, and soon covered him with the quilt, and soon, he lay on the bed as if he was asleep.
It seemed that the next second, when I went to his bedside, he would suddenly open his eyes and look at me, then hold my hand and tell me that he had just dreamed of me.
It didn't take long for Lin Wanwan to hear the news and hurriedly arrived, she walked to the door, and when she saw Yuan Lin lying on the bed, she fell directly and fell to the ground, but fortunately, the maid on the side supported her, she knelt there crying, and couldn't accept this fact.
Because Lin Wanwan had a child, the mortuary officer was afraid of hitting the child, so he hurriedly asked the maid to help her out, and when Lin Wanwan was helped up from the ground by the maids, the whole person seemed to be blindfolded, her eyes lost focus, her face was sluggish, and she even had no reaction to the surrounding situation at all.
The maid helped her out the door.
After that, it was a long night, I don't know how this night passed, many things were done by them, I didn't understand anything, I only saw Yuan Lin's body being tossed by various rituals, some people were over, chanting the scriptures until dawn.
The next morning, Yuan Lin's body was moved to the mourning hall that had been set up, and on the first day, many people came, I kneeled there, watching all kinds of people walk in front of me, their faces were full of grief, but how much of those grief was true, but no one knew.
People came and went, until there were three people in the mourning hall in the evening, Huo Changfan, Wang Zhizhi, and Mu Jingchi.
This was the first time I had seen Mu Jingchi in such a long time, and I didn't raise my eyes to look at him, only to see half of his long shirt dangling in front of me.
I heard Wang Zhizhi's cry, as well as Huo Changfan's voice, very short, very short, soon Wang Zhizhi's cry gradually weakened, about the maid next to her persuaded her to mourn, not long after the person standing in front of him put on the incense, he naturally wanted to leave, Wang Zhizhi seemed to be helped out of the door.
But when they were about to walk out of the mourning hall, I got up from the ground, walked towards them, and when I walked behind them, I knelt on the ground and said to Huo Changfan: "Sinner Lu Qingye, I beg Commander Huo to let me guard the tomb for my husband for three years. β
Huo Changfan didn't expect me to have this one, he stood there for a long time and didn't move, and after a while, he looked at Mu Jingchi on the side, Mu Jingchi's expression was faint, Huo Changfan saw this, and immediately said, "Doesn't he still have a concubine?" Leave this kind of thing to his concubine. β
I still knelt there and didn't move, and stubbornly said to Huo Changfan: "Please Commander Huo, you can fulfill me." β
Huo Changfan was a little embarrassed, and looked at Mu Jingchi again, Mu Jingchi glanced at me lightly, and after a long time, he said to Huo Changfan: "If she wants, then let her be." β
Then, he was the first to turn around and leave, Wang Zhizhi was crying for a while, looked at me a few times, and then followed behind Mu Jingchi.
Huo Changfan didn't expect me to be so stubborn, he said: "Why bother, it stands to reason that if your husband dies, you will be free, you can't go anywhere, why do you have to follow to guard the mausoleum, you are still young, and you will remarry after the big deal." β
I still stubbornly said: "Please also ask Huo Jun to become complete." β
Huo Changfan saw that my cow couldn't be pulled back, so he sighed and said: "Okay, since you have to do this, then I have nothing to say, your husband's body is going to enter the Yuan family cemetery, and the Yuan family cemetery is still in Dongjun, then you can take his concubine to the side to guard the mausoleum, but it is very difficult over there, you have to be prepared." β
I knelt on the ground again and bowed: "Thank you Huo Jun for being successful." β
Huo Changfan waved his hand and left, and when he left, I stood up from the ground, looked at the direction they left and sneered, and then I continued to turn around and kneel there.
It didn't take long for Yuan Chengjun to rush over with the soldiers, when he saw Yuan Lin's mourning hall, he didn't even stand firm, he hadn't seen him for a few days, he was aging so fast, decaying so quickly, where was there the majesty of looking at the other party before, which made the other party feel weak.
Now not only did his emperor dream come to an end, but even his son had come to an end, Yuan Chengjun knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, shouting: "Son, my sonβ"
The people around him did not speak, watching quietly from the side, Yuan Chengjun arrived in front of Yuan Lin's coffin, and touched his face with trembling hands, and the whole mourning hall was his screaming and heart-splitting cry.
He kept repeating a sentence: "It's your father who hurt you, it's your father who hurt you, son." He shook Yuan Lin's body and cried and said: "Wake up, son, open your eyes and look at your father, your father is wrong, your father will no longer murder you, he won't beat you anymore, didn't you love to follow your father to train and fight when you were a child?" You can't do that, you can't abandon me, son. β
Yuan Chengjun shook Yuan Lin's body vigorously, but Yuan Lin didn't react at all, Yuan Chengjun suddenly laughed, grabbed the things in the mourning hall and smashed it hard, and smashed the paper, money, and wreaths in the mourning hall into the ground like crazy, roaring and saying: "Mu Jingchi, Huo Changfan!" You will give back my son's life! It's time to give back my son's life! I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!"
Yuan Chengjun couldn't stand the stimulation, he went completely crazy, he grabbed a soldier, clamped his neck on his hand, and pinched it hard, pinching the soldier man's purple hair.
A bunch of soldiers around him swarmed up and quickly pulled him away, but Yuan Chengjun was a practitioner no matter how he said it, he had been marching and fighting for so many years, where could a few soldiers be able to hold it, no matter how those soldiers pulled, he pinched the person in his hand, as if that person was Mu Jingchi and Huo Changfan.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Lao Tzu is going to kill you, Lao Tzu is going to kill you!" Mu Jingchi, Huo Changfan, you actually came to harm me, to take me, and to kill my only son! Look at me if I don't break your body into pieces today and feed the dogs! β
Soon, the soldier's neck was almost choked off by Yuan Chengjun, and he was out of breath.
Yuan Chengjun pushed the soldiers who clamped him away vigorously, and began to scream and cry in the sky, he frantically searched for Yuan Lin, looking for Yuan Lin everywhere in the mourning hall, shouting: "Son! Where are you, come out quickly, Daddy can't see you! β
Those soldiers knew that something was wrong, they didn't know who it was, where they found half of the wood, and rushed towards Yuan Chengjun's back, and when Yuan Chengjun wanted to turn back, the wood struck the back of his head, and Yuan Chengjun's body suddenly straightened, and he fell straight down.
At this time, the mourning hall was completely quiet, Yuan Chengjun was dragged out by the soldiers, and the maids quickly cleaned up the smashed mourning hall, and then nailed the coffin.
Yuan Chengjun was completely crazy, I heard that after I went back, I started to kill people and maids in the house, everyone dared to approach, and I kept roaring Yuan Lin's name at night, but even so, I still couldn't escape the fate of becoming a king and defeating a king.
On the third day after Yuan Chengjun was escorted back to the presidency, the staff of the presidential palace personally published a newspaper claiming that the president was mentally insane because he could not bear the news of his son's death, and officially resigned from the presidency on the pretext of recuperating from illness and went to Xintai to recuperate.
People from the outside world don't know what's going on here, and the people still think that the president is dealing with state affairs in the presidential palace during this time, why did his son die of illness and go crazy in a blink of an eye?
As soon as this matter came out, the whole country was shocked, they did not believe it at the beginning, and then they naturally accepted this statement, and some people even rumored that the president may have been entangled by his dead son, so it led to mental abnormalities.
Yuan Chengjun has only been in power for a short period of time, and he resigned so quickly, everyone is more concerned about who will take over this position, Huo Changfan seems to be a little unjustifiable, after all, he used to be hostile to Yuan Chengjun.
Unexpectedly, the outside world's call for Mu Jingchi was the highest, but unfortunately, Mu Jingchi said that his physical ability was limited and he could not serve the country, so he recommended Huo Changfan to go up.
If Mu Jingchi hadn't recommended Huo Changfan to take the throne at the beginning, it is estimated that it would be difficult for the people to accept Huo Changfan, because he started as a bandit, and being the president with such a background is naturally unacceptable to everyone.
But this time, he was personally recommended by Mu Jingchi, praising him for his talent in governing the world, although he was not qualified for the position of president, but he was willing to assist him, and the presidential palace and the new government were unanimously supported, but there was little opposition, so Huo Changfan temporarily took the position of president with the help of Mu Jingchi.
Yuan Chengjun was naturally sent to Xintai's side of the disease.
But Xintai is poor and bad, how to recuperate? In the end, it's just captivity in disguise.
The Yuan Mansion and the rest of the Yuan Mansion were all sent to Xintai, and Lin Wanwan and I were sent to the Dongjun Guarded Mausoleum, and Yuan Lin's body was to be buried in the ancestral tomb of the Yuan family in the East County.
The day before going to Dongjun, Zhou's mother actually came to Yuan's mansion, she walked to the courtyard of Yuan's mansion, and saw that there was a trend of decay here, even if she sighed, she was soon led in by the maid, and saw that I was kneeling in front of the mourning hall and burning the paper, and her eyes were naturally red.
She walked quickly towards me, and the maid reminded me beside me: "Young grandmother, your nurse is here." β
I didn't move, I was still burning there.
When Zhou's mother saw that I was wearing a plain white filial piety dress, she hugged me and cried and said, "My hard-working young lady! Why did my uncle go so suddenly? β
I didn't react at all, just numbly threw money paper into the brazier.
Zhou's mother hugged me and cried for a long time, and after she finished crying, she immediately held my hand and turned me over to face her, Zhou's mother's hand gently stroked my haggard face twice, she still couldn't hold back, and cried out again and said, "I heard that you are going to Dongjun to guard the mausoleum?" β
I didn't deny it, but softly replied to Zhou's mother: "Yes." β
Zhou's mother cried and asked, "Why?" You're still young, and your husband didn't let you go, I heard that you insisted on asking for it? β
I nodded again.
Mother Zhou held my face and said, "Miss, you are still so young and have a great future, why do you have to go over there to guard the mausoleum, you listen to Mother Zhou, is it okay to stay here?" When we go back to the Mu family, no matter what happens, there will always be a place for you on the Mu family's side. β
I just shook my head and said, "Mother Zhou, I'm going." β
Zhou's mother was puzzled and asked, "Why do you want to go?" You didn't have a relationship with your uncle before. β
I said, "You go back, I will never go back to that Mu family, and going back will only be the day I kill him." β
Mother Zhou immediately covered my lips and said, "Don't say such a thing, in fact, this time Mr. asked me to ask you, that place is freezing every day, where do you go, your body will not be able to stand it." β
I inexplicably thought Zhou's mother's words were very funny, so I asked rhetorically, "He asked you to come?" I scoffed and said, "Do you think I don't know?" If I don't go to guard the mausoleum, then I will be like those clansmen of the Yuan family, they will be driven to Xintai to be imprisoned, once a son of heaven and a courtier, and what am I, I am now also divided into the Yuan family, rather than let me go to Xintai to be imprisoned, I would rather go to Dongjun to guard the mausoleum. β
Zhou's mother said: "Miss, you must be thought like this, although you are married to Yuan Lin, but Yuan Lin is dead now, it stands to reason that you should go back to the Mu family, how could Mr. send you to Xintaina?" β
I chuckled and stopped talking, but turned around and faced Yuan Lin's mourning hall again, where incense was burning.
Mother Zhou saw that I was in a state of refusing to say anything, so she began to cry again, she cried for a while, and said, "Miss, you can go back with me, I beg you." β
I said: "Mother Zhou, go back, I've already decided, no one can change it, that so-called home is just a scam, will I go back to that scam?" β
I chuckled softly.
After Zhou's mother left, the next day the Yuan Mansion was divided into two factions, the first one was sent to Xintai, and Lin Wanwan and I took Yuan Lin's coffin to Dongjun.
I behaved very calmly along the way, but Lin Wanwan cried and fainted several times, but fortunately, Huo Changfan and they were still conscientious, and on the way to escort us over, a doctor was sent here to take care of Lin Wanwan's fetus at all times.
The car was escorted by a large group of people and began to drive out of Jinling City, on this day it was raining lightly in Jinling City, the weather was surprisingly cool, and the people on the street had coats and umbrellas to watch.
We went out of the city gate in everyone's eyes, and rushed to Dongjun from Jinling, at least four days, these four days, Lin Wanwan has been vomiting, and her body is also very unwell, the doctor has been conditioning for her, in order to ensure that she can spend these four days safely, she was prescribed a lot of tocolytic drugs, the doctor told me in private, she is so sad, the child will fall sooner or later, let me persuade her to restrain her emotions.
After driving for almost three days, I personally talked to Lin Wanwan, and I gave her two choices, the first is to leave here, find a place to give birth to the child and live her own life, and second, that is to continue to follow us and go to Dongjun.
Lin Wanwan's eyes were coldly projected on me at that time and said, "You are the wife of the second master, am I not?" If you can keep it, why can't I keep it? β
I didn't expect her to misinterpret what I meant, and I said, "I'm thinking about you." β
Lin Wanwan said: "What is there to think about, anyway, now the second master is just a corpse, no matter what, I will give birth to this child for him safely, I want to save their Yuan family, one day I will let this child get back everything he suffered for the second master." β
In Lin Wanwan's eyes, I saw a hateful gaze, which was exactly the same as when my grandfather looked at me.
I didn't show any excitement about her words, but asked softly, "Did you see that?" I am the future of your son, and I am so defeated by hatred, that I tell you, rather than risk him and get back what his father has endured, it is better to raise him well and keep his bloodline for him. β
Lin Wanwan said coldly: "I know who you are, so there is no need to talk to me about this here." β
I said, "It's okay if you believe me, don't believe me, anyway, my words are here, the child is yours, and I have no right to deal with it, what kind of person you want him to become, then you can let him become." β
I got up from in front of Lin Wanwan and walked towards the parked carriage and horse not far away, where Lin Wanwan sat and watched.
After that, everyone rested enough on the side of the road, and then rushed to Dongjun again, Lin Wanwan also followed the carriage, walked for almost four days, our car finally arrived at the cemetery of the Yuan family in Dongjun, Yuan Lin's coffin was finally laid down to the ground for peace, that day Lin Wanwan did not appear in the process of this ceremony, still afraid of hitting the child.
After Yuan Lin's coffin was put into the ground, it was natural to build the tomb overnight, and after everything was completed, the maids were still crying and crying on the side of the tomb, and those mothers-in-law persuaded us to go back.
When I arrived at the residence of the cemetery, I found that this place was more difficult than I imagined, which can be described as the four walls of the family, and the maids and mothers-in-law were frightened by the environment here.
I can't afford to support this group of people, so I naturally have no opinion on the fact that they are going to quit their errands, and I am worried that I have no excuse to send them away.
Seeing that they took the initiative to leave, I immediately settled the wages to them, and after they got the wages, they naturally refused to stay longer, and quickly left here.
The maid was very young, and when I saw her standing timidly, I asked, "What about you?" β
The maid immediately knelt down in front of me and said, "The little one is willing to stay and serve my aunt and grandmother." β
I lifted her up from the ground and asked her, "Do you know how long we're going to be here?" It's a cemetery here, you can't touch anyone, and when you're old enough to get married, you're just wasting your youth with us. β
The maid said with red eyes: "Aunt Lin treats me with kindness, I will stay to repay the kindness, and I will not leave." β
I said, "What about your parents?" β
"I don't have parents," she said. β
I asked again, "Are you really not leaving?" If you go, I'll let the carriage send you. β
She shook her head very clearly, hearing her say this, I didn't force her anymore, but asked her to go to the house by herself to choose a room that she felt comfortable, and take care of the pregnant Lin Wanwan by the way.
I stayed here for two days, because there was not enough manpower, Lin Wanwan was pregnant and couldn't do housework, so only me and Lin Wanwan's maid were here to do housework.
It was really hard here, it was very cold, we had three people's clothes, although there were two people washing together, but we still washed our hands frozen, and my body was much worse than I imagined, doing housework, in such a cold day, there was no charcoal fire, and the joints hurt so badly.
But fortunately, I didn't have anything, but perseverance was the least bad, so I stayed up in all kinds of discomfort for a week, and after a week, I got used to everything, and I could still do any housework, and when Lin Wanwan's maid took care of Lin Wanwan, I washed vegetables outside the kitchen and prepared to cook.
And so it went on for about a week, and one day a man I did not expect came, and that day I was carrying water by the well as usual, and from a long distance I heard someone calling to me, and when I looked back, I saw Jasper running towards me with a huge package and stepping on the thick snow.
At first I thought I was mistaken, but when she came to me panting, and when she saw me carrying water, she immediately threw away the burden on her hand, rushed over and grabbed the bucket of water in my hand, and said, "Miss, I'll come, why are you doing these things on this cold day, maid?" β
I didn't expect Jasper to come back, and I couldn't reply and asked, "Why are you here?" β
Biyu's movements were indeed much smoother than mine, and soon she brought up a bucket of water and said to me: "I ran here to find you, I heard that it is very difficult here, and there are no maids who want to stay here, so I went to Mu's house to quit my errand and found a carriage and horse to come here." β
Biyu glanced left and right, and saw that it was really a maid's shadow, and she said: "Sure enough, they are all conscienceless, and they will only enjoy happiness and will not share suffering." β
She looked at my hands full of chilblains, grabbed them immediately, and cried out in distress and said, "How did you become like this?" Isn't there still Aunt Lin? Why is this kind of rough work, you are doing it alone, you have never even served a bowl of water with your hands before, and it has only been a few days before it has become like this. β
I didn't expect that as soon as Biyu came, she burst into tears and cried non-stop, but I smiled indifferently and said: "What's this, I'm more comfortable here, I can do whatever I want, at least I've learned everything, and I'm still hungry, you should be happy that your young lady won't starve to death even if no one serves you in the future." β
Biyu's tears still didn't stop, she cried and said, "You have always been pampered, where have you ever suffered like this." She stroked my face again and said, "Look how rough your face has become." β
