Chapter 236: Inquiry, the Mysterious Cause of Death
"Yes, is that lady going to write a letter first?" Mama Dong nodded and asked in a low voice.
"When I go back, I will write a letter immediately, you go by yourself, be sure to see the second lady, repeat my meaning again, and, don't forget, this is the Huayang Hou Mansion, you want to call me aunt!" Aunt Dong nodded, glanced coldly at Mama Dong and warned.
"Auntie...... Auntie, yes, the old slave wrote it down, and Mama Fang Caihong sent a message to say that Master Hou was going to see Mrs. Hou's old yard and asked us if there was anything that was in the way? Mama Dong turned around a little awkwardly and reported the words that had been passed over by Yahuan before.
"It's not an eyesore, I've sent someone to clean it up a few times." Aunt Dong shook her head, but then stopped and asked, "Why did Master Hou suddenly want to go to that courtyard?" β
"The old slave doesn't know, it should be Miss Six who mentioned it, Mama Hong said that Miss Six personally took someone to clean it up before, as if she knew that Master Hou would go to see it." Mama Dong said hesitantly, "Mama Hong doesn't know the actual situation, but she just said that the Hou Ye will come over to take a look." β
"Just look at it, after so many years, it's hard to leave anything behind!" Aunt Winter sneered.
"Aren't you going to take a look?" Mama Dong reminded.
"Go, but not now!" Aunt Dong said meaningfully, that courtyard has always been the place she yearns for the most, of course she will go, and she will enter that courtyard as the master.
As long as that slut is finished, who will remember Qin Xinrui's slut in the future!
"Miss, let's go to Madame's yard now?" Wei Yuewu did not immediately go back to her Qinghe Courtyard, but turned around and went in the direction of Mrs. Hou's courtyard.
"Jin Ling, you go to the backyard and watch, if Aunt Dong's people leave through the back door, you follow and have a look." Wei Yuewu glanced at it, and followed her golden bell road.
Since Aunt Dong entered the house, she has been stepped on by herself at every step, and she will definitely not be reconciled.
"Yes, the slave maid knows that the slave maid asked Yan Feng and Yan Yang to wait outside the gate of the mansion for the past few days, and when the slave and maid saw Aunt Dong's people going out, they let them follow." Jin Ling retreated at the order, and knew that Aunt Dong was going home, and Yan Feng and Yan Yang's messengers were also much heavier.
Wei Yuewu walked back with Shufei, all the way over, and came to the courtyard gate with the gate closed, Wei Yuewu stood still, and her eyes fell on a big tree that came out of the courtyard wall, the trunk of the tree in winter was bare, without a single green leaf, just like the entire courtyard, giving people a silent and lifeless feeling!
"Miss, it's still early!" Shu Fei stood behind her and reminded her softly.
"I know!" Wei Yuewu nodded, her eyes turning sad.
"Miss, why don't you go over there and sit for a while, and wait for the Hou Ye to come over, and then we will go in together?" Shu Fei looked back and pointed to a pavilion mountain on the side and proposed.
The pavilion is next to a small rockery, which is inconspicuous, and the courtyard happens to be visible from that position.
"Good!" Wei Yuewu nodded, picked up the corner of her skirt and turned around to the inconspicuous pavilion.
That pavilion is actually really hidden, there are a few flower trees planted outside the rockery, in spring and autumn, flowers should be in full bloom here, and the slightly protruding eaves should happen to be able to hide behind this flower tree.
That is, in winter, when all the leaves fall down, so that people can see the pavilion.
Not long after sitting down on the stone bench at the pavilion, he saw Wei Luowu only bring a small servant to appear on the way over, Wei Yuewu got up and greeted him with Shufei.
"Already here? I've been waiting for a long time, I've got someone to inform you!" Seeing Wei Yuewu appear at the gate of the courtyard, Wei Luowen was stunned at first, very surprised, and then asked in a soft tone.
"It didn't take long, I just wanted to come over to see my mother, so I came over first!" Wei Yuewu shook her head, and said with a faint expression, but it was difficult to hide the sadness between her expressions.
"I asked Mama Hong to equip this place with a few rough maids and mothers-in-law, and you can come and see it whenever you want in the future." Wei Luowen said softly.
This means that in the future, this door will be guarded by a special mother-in-law, and Wei Yuewu, as a daughter, can come and see it at any time, and there is no need to ask Mama Hong for the key, just call the door.
Wei Yuewu nodded silently, and the little guy quickly ran out from behind Wei Luowen, stepped forward and locked the door.
The door opened, and the wild grass in Xiaojing had been cleaned up last time, but it was not seen for a few days, and a few leaves flew under the tree, although there were not many, but it seemed inexplicably lonely, and this was once the most lively yard in the house.
Wei Luowen walked slowly, but he felt that his feet were heavy and he couldn't lift them, the gentle woman in his mind always looked at herself with those bright water eyes, even if her face was ruined, she didn't dislike it.
But what about later......
Those eyes slowly brought vigilance and distrust, and such a look almost made him fall into the wilderness! Did she give herself a chance? But I ...... How could he drag her to the mudflow, but the final result was that she was gone.
Are you really wrong?
"Father, how did my mother die?" Standing under the tree, Wei Yuewu raised her head and her gaze fell on Wei Luowen.
"Your mother had a difficult birth when she gave birth to you, and it dragged on for a few years, and I really couldn't drag it on......" Seeing his daughter's sad eyes, Wei Luowen's gaze couldn't help but dodge.
"After that, why did you send me to my grandfather's house?" This answer was originally expected by Wei Yuewu, and her eyes looked at Wei Luowen without evasion.
So people said that she was sent away because she fell out of favor with her father, but after this short day of contact, she found that there seemed to be a secret in it, so she asked directly while there was no one else.
This is the mother's yard, which used to be the place where the mother lived, if this father of mine really has feelings for his mother, he will never deceive himself at this time, she wants to know the truth of the matter.
"I went to the town to guard the border pass, and you didn't feel at ease when you were alone in the house, so I sent you to my grandfather's house." Unable to face his daughter's sad and childish gaze, Wei Luowen's eyes flashed slightly, and he hesitated, but still replied slowly, "Wu'er, father has been waiting for you to come back." β
"Father is waiting for me?" Wei Yuewu was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, I've been waiting for you!" Wei Luowen nodded, although her daughter was still young, her bright eyes were unusually firm, so she couldn't help but say what was in her heart, stretched out her hand and touched her daughter's head lovingly, her eyes were full of doting, "Don't care what others say, you will always be my beloved daughter!" β
That kind of look, that kind of cautious look, is really not what a general like him should show, but at this time, he clearly looked at Wei Yuewu, this general who has killed countless people, Hou Ye's eyes are even slightly red, and he can't help the excitement in his heart.
His most beloved woman, the daughter he gave birth to, how could he not cherish it, if it wasn't for the way, why would he be like this!
"Father, is my mother really sick and dead?" Wei Yuewu's eyes couldn't help but contain two crystal tears, not that she didn't care about this father's love, but because for so many years, everyone said this, so she couldn't help but get rid of this father's love from her heart.
"Yes, your mother's health has not been good since she gave birth to you!" Wei Luowen nodded, a flash of pain flashed in her eyes, and of course, the root of the illness that she had been distressed for a long time, she was in trouble until she died!
It's just that he didn't want her to know these things back then, how can he let his naΓ―ve daughter know now!
"Father, did I have a young lady when I was a child who was very good friends with me?" Seeing that he couldn't ask anything, Wei Yuewu's tone changed, and she asked in a different direction.
"Little sister?" Wei Luowen was surprised.
"It's when I was a child, the girl who played with me was a little older than me, her health was not very good, and sometimes she would cough up blood!" Wei Yuewu asked tentatively while looking at Wei Luowen's face.
Sure enough, Wei Luowen's face changed, his sleeves flicked, and his expression became gloomy: "Wu'er, you remember wrong, my father doesn't remember that there is such a young lady." β
"But dance...... Sometimes I always feel that there is a scene in the palace...... There seems to be such a young lady ......," Wei Yuewu said uneasily.
"Nope! Mai'er really remembers wrong! But you were still young at the time, and your memory was very vague, so you will remember it wrong, let's go, go in and see your mother's house. Wei Luowen shook his head decisively and strode towards the main house.
"Yes!" Wei Yuewu's eyes flashed with a hint of depth, it seemed that his father was really not revealing at all, which showed that there was a problem here, but since he didn't say it, it was not appropriate to ask now, so he nodded, followed Wei Luowen's footsteps, and entered the house together.
Pushing open the door of the main house, I saw a bottle of plum blossoms on the table, red plums like fire, branches to the sky, revealing Ling Li in the beauty, for a while Wei Luowen seemed to see that gentle woman, sitting under the flower table, smiling at herself.
"Rui'er!" Wei Luowen whispered subconsciously.
"Father, this is what Wu'er picked up and placed when she came in last time, I can't imagine that I still haven't thanked you for these days!" Wei Yuewu also walked in, looked at the bottle of plum blossoms, and said with a smile.
"You picked it up the last time you came in?" Wei Luowen asked almost mutteringly, staring at the bottle of plum blossoms in a daze.
"Yes, my father thinks I'm plugging in, okay?" Wei Yue said with a smile.
"Naturally it's good-looking!" Seeing his little daughter's expectant gaze, Wei Luowenqiang smiled, and although there was a slight condensation under his feet, he still slowly walked into the house.
The room was cleaned very clean, and there was no trace of dust even on the table legs.
"Father, would you like to sit down for a moment?" Wei Yuewu looked at Wei Luowen, who couldn't hide the sadness on his face, and asked softly.
Wei Luowen shook his head and walked towards the inner room, Shufei hurriedly stepped forward and raised the curtain.
The curtain swayed, immediately attracting Wei Luowen's attention, the curtain is very old, even if there is no dust on it now, it can be seen that this curtain has not been changed for many years, and it has faded in color.
Wei Luowen did not enter the door of the inner room, but stood in front of the curtain, stretched out his hand to pull the once gorgeous curtain, and the expression on his face turned iron-blue.
