Chapter 18: Bad News
After being sent to Guanying, Shangguan Yu was bedridden, and everyone in Shangguan Mansion knew that their eldest young master's time was running out. However, he still held on. Everyone knew that he was reluctant to leave, but reluctant to leave her delicate wife. A beauty like Chu Yunxi, who can really give it up.
However, when the first snow of early winter came, Shangguan Yu left with a smile in his wife's arms. Chu Yunxi looked at the person in his arms, looked at the snowflakes falling outside, and his thoughts drifted away. She looked out the window in a daze, the snow stained the ground white, and the pines and cypresses in front of the courtyard were still standing in the cold wind. The incense burner curled in the room, and she heard laughter, and it was Shangguan Yu who made fun of her ink rubbing on her face. She blamed him for making fun of her and chasing him. She was about to catch up with him, and lunged forward, only to be missed. The knee hurt when I fell. The laughter is still there, but the people are gone......
Yin Jingchen went to bed early yesterday, she has been sleepy lately, and she still feels tired after waking up. Mama Li was worried about her, but she didn't care, thinking that she was tired of helping Mrs. Shangguan to take care of the account recently, and blamed Mama Li for making a fuss. As soon as she got up and was washing, she heard a report from someone that Shangguan Yu had passed away. Wutong was combing her hair, and when she heard the news, her hair was knotted, and her scalp hurt. At this moment, she was still worried about the pain, she was also shocked, and she was about to drink tea to suppress the shock, her hand shook, and the water spilled all over her body. She suddenly remembered Chu Yunxi, and she didn't care about anything else, so she fixed her hair with a hairpin, took Mama Li, and Wutong came to Shangguan Mansion.
The entire Shangguan Mansion was surrounded by white, and the heavy snow last night made it even more solemn and cold. She was worried about the old lady, so she went to Furui Hall first. The old lady was stimulated and remained unconscious. There was a circle of doctors outside the house, all discussing countermeasures. She couldn't help, so she quietly withdrew. After leaving Furui Hall, she followed the path to the Xingyin Hall.
On the way, I heard Mama Li tell her about the news she inquired about: "I heard that it was almost dawn, and when the next person went in to fill the stove, I saw the eldest young grandmother holding the eldest young master motionless. Young. Hey, it's really ......," Mama Li sighed.
"Have father and the colt returned?"
"I heard I just arrived this morning." The three of them talked all the way to the Xingyin Hall, because the mourning hall was not set up here. At this time, there was no one to see, and the courtyard was quiet.
Yin Jingchen walked a few steps inward with the support of Mama Li, if she hadn't heard the sobbing, she thought that there was no one left. At this time, the courtyard still has the lively scene it once had.
Jing Chen still remembers the red dazzling red silk grass, a pool of koi carp playing freely. Once Shangguan Ying, Li Yunni, Chu Yunxi and a few of them had nothing to do here to feed fish and enjoy flowers. Shangguan Jun stood against the window, and Shangguan Yu complained that Shangguan Han was indecisive. The once lively scenery is like yesterday, but now it is a different place. Thinking of this, Yin Jingchen's tears slipped involuntarily. After a pause, she followed the sound and walked inside, pausing for a moment as she stepped into the threshold.
The man was dressed in white, floating upright, and a woman in white was snuggled in his arms next to him. One of his hands gently patted the woman's shoulder, and the woman's sobbing sound was heartbreaking.
Jing Chen was stunned, and many scenes came to mind at that moment. How many times has there been a person looking at those clasped hands with distracted eyes, that awkward sister-in-law.
At this moment, she finally knew why she couldn't walk into his heart. It turned out that it wasn't that she couldn't get in, but that he was pretending to be someone else. And that person...... Yin Jingchen was afraid of disturbing them, so he turned around quietly. I don't know if it was because tears blurred her eyes, she almost fell. If it weren't for Mama Li's quick eyes, she would have fallen. Jing Chen realized something and left in a hurry. Mama Li and Wutong trotted to catch up. She stumbled along the way. He barely calmed down when he approached the mourning hall.
At this time, the mourning hall was full of people who came to mourn, and Mrs. Shangguan couldn't hold on, so she was helped by her subordinates to rest, so she and Li Yuni stayed in front of the mourning hall to entertain the people who ushered in the send-off.
I don't know if it's because of the fright just now, her face is very ugly. Li Yuni thought she was tired and asked her to rest, but she refused. With the bowing of the people. Shangguan Jun walked into the mourning hall, and saw Yin Jingchen dressed in white and with his hair in a bun from a distance. With a sad face, hidden in a crowd of female dependents, she seems to have lost weight again. That was his first feeling. Maybe she didn't know he was back. Before he could say hello to her, he and his father hurried back when they heard the bad news.
For fathers, mothers, and grandmothers, the biggest helplessness is for white-haired people to send black-haired people. He looked at her again and walked away. There's a lot of work to do. When Shangguan Jun appeared in the mourning hall, Yin Jingchen saw him. She always finds him at the first glance in the crowd. And he seemed to have waited a long time to see her. The moment he looked at him, she lowered her head. Chu Yunxi did not appear with her. She thought that at this time, too, how could Chu Yunxi stand it when he appeared here.
Taking advantage of the lunch time, Li Yuni was afraid that Jing Chen would be tired, so she took her back to her residence. Jing Chen looked at Li Yuni holding the sleeping child with a doting face, and felt bitter inexplicably. Li Yuni looked at her pale face and handed her a glass of water: "You also rest, we will go to grandma's place in a while." ”
"Are you scared?" Jing Chen shook his head.
I'm afraid that you haven't experienced this kind of thing, and no one will take care of you at this time, so you can take care of yourself, don't be reckless. ”
Jing Chen was moved by Li Yuni's concern. Her nose was sore, and the moment her tears were about to fall, she held back her again. only said: "Thank you, second sister-in-law." ”
"Don't be polite to me, hey, sister-in-law is also pitiful, I just heard that it is at my mother's. Also, everyone is looking ahead and forgetting about her, if you can't think about it...... Luckily...... When I thought of her, I had this one thought in my head, but fortunately it was with my mother. ”
When she mentioned Chu Yunxi, her heart twitched again. The two of them rested for a while, and then rushed to the old lady Shangguan.
At this time, it was another room of people. The old lady was holding Chu Yunxi's hand and wiping her tears. When he saw her two come in, he beckoned them to sit beside her. Yin Jingchen comforted the old lady a few words. The old lady nodded in agreement. glanced at Chu Yunxi again, and after not seeing him for a day, Chu Yunxi was haggard. A face that seems to be covered with skin and bones, and the eye sockets are sunken, which is really unbearable to look at. Jing Chen hugged Chu Yunxi and said, "Sister-in-law's Day mourns, tears flowed uncontrollably." Chu Yunxi nodded in a choked voice.
