Since Mrs. Ritai came, Izuku seemed to have changed again, silent, silent, obedient, and haggard. Apply and drink medicine on time every day, without noise or shouting, and without tears and grief.

Shen Yu saw it in his eyes, obviously relieved, but he faintly felt that something was wrong, as if she had lost her luster and soul, and now what remained in the world was just the shell of a walking corpse.

In the blink of an eye, the first seven days of Yun Ci are about to pass, and these days, the side branches of the Nanxi Yun clan and the princess of the family have rushed overnight to pay tribute to the untimely death of the Lixin Marquis; King Mu, who was also in Fangzhou, also came to worship on behalf of the Nanxi clan; And those side branches in Beixi are still on their way to Yanlan City.

At the time of the battle between the Beixi rivers and mountains, the rebel Chen clan went all the way north, and had captured three states of the four states of Beixi, and now they are marching towards the imperial city of Lidu. Therefore, for Yun Ci's death, Emperor Beixiyuan was too busy to take care of himself, and no one from the clan came to pay his respects.

On the contrary, it was the rebel Chen's clan, seeing that the capture of Beixi Mountain and River was just around the corner, so he sent his son Chen Lang to Yanlan City to worship Yun Ci, but the minister and the father and son were both on the battlefield and had no time to separate. The meaning of wooing is not obvious.

The fact that Mr. and Mrs. Lixinhou died at the same time overnight is really bizarre to say. In order to save the family's face, Mrs. Tai only said to the public that Xia Yanran drowned during her pregnancy, with one body and two lives; Yun Ci loved his wife and was grief-stricken, causing the sudden death of an old illness.

Outsiders all know that Hou Yunci is weak and riddled with old diseases, and they have heard that Xia Yanran is close to her sweetheart, and she has a very strong relationship. It was Mrs. Tai's remarks that could be regarded as hiding from some people, but for a person as thoughtful as King Mu, it was obviously ineffective, but Mrs. Tai couldn't think of any new words for a while.

Fortunately, the status of the Yun family is quite high, and Xie Shudan himself is still prestigious, although some people do not believe in this "inside story", on the surface, they also pretend to be grieved, and even say "festival mourning".

It's just that at the moment, in addition to the beautiful funeral of the Marquis of Lixin, there is another very tricky matter - choosing the heir to the title. It is an indisputable fact that Yun Ci has no queen, but someone must inherit the position of Xinhou, especially at this critical moment of confrontation between the north and the south and civil strife in Beixi, the existence of the Yun clan is very delicate, and it can be regarded as the last chess that can clamp the north and the south.

At this moment, neither the Nanxi Emperor nor the Chen clan who was about to seize the throne of the Northern Xi Emperor did not want to see the fall and decline of the Yun clan. As a result, before the first seven days of Yun Ci, those Yun clan side branches who came first were also instructed by their respective interest gangs, and they began to express their worries, and even more so they couldn't wait to make suggestions to Mrs. Tai, hoping to designate a candidate for the throne as soon as possible.

In this matter, the Yun clan was divided into three factions:

The subordinate faction believes that Yun Ci's siblings should inherit the title in the order of the eldest and youngest, that is, to give the opportunity to Yunqi and Yunxian;

Lixian faction, hoping to find virtuous descendants with both ability and political integrity in the Yun clan to inherit the title;

The heir faction, supporting the lineage, advocated selecting descendants from the side branches to inherit to Yun Ci's knees, and inherited the title as a descendant.

……

Mrs. Tai saw that when the clansmen were not cold and the first seven were not yet full, they coveted the position of Lixin Marquis with their own scheming, and her heart could not be said to be cold. Regarding the attitude of the clansmen, she can only use one trick to drag it down - pretending to be grief-stricken.

After presiding over the clan affairs for more than ten years, Mrs. Xie lost her beloved son, and she didn't ask about foreign affairs while grieving, so everyone had to restrain herself. Mrs. Tai was secretly observing the commotion of the clansmen, and there was a faint determination in her heart.

It's just that to her surprise, in the matter of the heir to the title, the second and third rooms are extremely calm, except for the old people of several families who Yun Qi has secretly seen, the Yun Mansion is also calm.

"Tonight, it is the first seven moments of the Hou Ye, you must order everyone in the mansion to sleep in their clothes and not wander in the mansion. Even if you can't sleep, you can't leave your room. Mrs. Tai instructed the housekeeper Yun Zhong in the Buddha Hall, and the voice seemed to be sad, but it was very calm to listen to. Only Mama Chi, who was close to her, knew that Mrs. Tai's tone was disguised.

Nam-hee has a custom since ancient times that on the seventh day of the deceased's death, his soul will return home. If the soul returns home and sees that the family members are still resting, it will have a memory, which will affect its reincarnation as a human being.

Therefore, according to the old custom, Mrs. Tai ordered that all the people in the house should sleep in their clothes at all hours tonight, and they should not go out.

Steward Yun naturally received the order and said yes, and hurriedly retreated to order everyone. He had just left in this compartment, but Shen Yu came in a hurry, and said to Mrs. Tai: "Han Chu is gone!" ”

Mrs. Tai held the hand of the Buddha beads for a pause, got up from the futon, and asked: "She is gone, what does it have to do with my Yunfu?" ”

Shen Yu was anxious, and he didn't know how to refute it, so he could only say: "She was lost in this mansion, how can it have nothing to do with Yun Mansion?" ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Tai sneered: "What a big joke! Now that she has nothing to do with Yunfu, I allow her to recuperate here, just because the person who hurt her is a shallow rhyme. Now that she has gone missing on her own, is Yun Fu still obliged to look for her? ”

"Mrs. Tai!" Shen Yu was anxious, and hurriedly said: "She has been fine for the past few days, and she obviously said that she was better than the first seven days of Bangzhi, and she left with me......"

"You think I took her captive?" Mrs. Tai swept her cold eyes and asked in a deep voice.

Shen Yu was dumbfounded for a moment and explained, "I didn't mean that, I just wanted to trouble you to send someone to look for it in the house." ”

As if she had heard some joke, Mrs. Tai only said: "Today is the first seven days of resignation, and all the mansions have to avoid it, so how can they send someone to find it?" Besides, she is the murderer who indirectly killed Ci'er, and I will never send someone to find her. ”

"Mrs. Tai!" Shen Yu couldn't move when he saw the persuasion, but he was really anxious: "Don't say anything about it, even if it's to save it, you can't sit idly by!" Let alone...... It was the wedding book you got that day! ”

Marriage Certificate? Mrs. Tai's eyes narrowed slightly, and she calmly retorted: "The marriage certificate is indeed a relic of Ci'er, and there are also the names and hands of the two people on it, but if there is no signature and seal of the matchmaker, it will not be considered valid." ”

"Mrs. Tai, why is she so aggressive!" Shen Yu finally couldn't bear it anymore, took a step forward, and asked her angrily: "It took a lot of effort to save Han Chu's life, how can you let his hard work go to waste!" No peace behind you? ”

"How can you bear it? Scold! Mrs. Tai said bitterly: "How can I not bear it? I can't wait for her to die immediately and bury me with my son! At this moment, Mrs. Tai was also angry, and she had endured her anger in front of outsiders for several days, and was finally stimulated by Shen Yu.

"Mrs. Tai!" Shen Yu seemed to be in disbelief, his angular handsome face was very dignified, and the eyebrows of the word "Chuan" revealed endless worries. He looked at his friend's mother, Mrs. Xie, who was highly respected by the Yun family, and suddenly knelt down and asked, "Please spare Han Chu and let her go...... A way out. ”

Mrs. Tai was very surprised when she saw Shen Yu acting like this, so she looked at him with a sneer, lowered her eyes and sighed: "A man has gold under his knees, and a proud person like Shen Xiaohou is willing to kneel for a woman?" ”

"You are Bangzhi's mother, the head of the Yun family, and my elder. Kneeling down to you is also natural...... What's more, for the sake of Hanchu, I am willing. At this moment, Shen Yu was about to endure to the limit, his hands were hidden in his sleeves and clenched into fists, and he only kowtowed to each other.

Willing...... Mrs. Tai was very emotional when she heard this, this woman was lucky after all, and there was no resignation, and there was a Shen Yu guarding and reading. Now, this young Marquis Shen, who has always been proud, dares to offend himself for her.

"After all, you still think I hid her." Mrs. Xie sighed faintly, and said helplessly: "She is a woman who has no power to restrain the chicken, and she has a shoulder injury and is penniless, so she must not be able to get out of Yunfu......"

At this point, Mrs. Tai lowered her eyes to look at Shen Yu again, and said what she thought in her heart: "If you agree to a condition for me, I will order you to go down to find someone." Whether she lives or dies, I promise to give you an explanation. ”

"On what terms?" Shen Yu saw that Mrs. Tai had already spoken, knelt on the ground and immediately raised his head, his eyes unabashedly radiating a light of hope.

And this gaze, in Mrs. Tai's eyes, seemed to teach her to shake her eyes.

Since she knew the cause of her beloved son Yunci's death, she also understood the cause of her husband Yunli's death as a matter of course. Later, after Luan Qing's personal verification, he knew that the poison was added to the heart Gu, and only by giving up love can it be detoxified.

In order to teach her to vomit out the blood in her heart, her husband did not hesitate to stage that fragrant scene, just because he understood her and knew that she hated men the most in her life. If it weren't for that, she wouldn't have been separated from him and had frequent resentment.

However, her resentment, which has been aggrieved for more than ten years, is just a trick used by her husband! Now that she has been punctured by the sudden affectionate truth, how can she not mourn? How not to regret it? However, as a wife and mother, she can fall at this time; But as Mrs. Xie, she must not fall!

Yun Ci has no heirs after her death, and the position of Xinhou is unresolved, and the real culprit behind the scenes who poisoned her husband and son is still lurking in the shadows, how can she fall! Even if she wants to die, it will be after she has fulfilled her wishes, after avenging the father and the son!

Otherwise, what kind of face would she have to meet her ancestors and ancestors under the Nine Springs! How can she be worthy of her husband exchanging her life for her!

She Xie Shudan knew that the Yun family had more infatuation, and it was for this legend that she gave up the opportunity to marry into the Nanxi royal family, and chose the Yun family among many suitors. But she never thought that two generations of Lixinhou, her husband and son, actually embarked on the same path! For the same reason, I died because of love!

Mrs. Tai looked at Shen Yu fixedly, and thousands of thoughts quickly turned in her heart. Seeing that his eyes were full of endless emotions, Mrs. Tai suddenly felt a little in a trance, as if she had seen her beloved son Yunci reborn again.

It is said that the two have been together for a long time, and they will unconsciously resemble each other, in the past, she only said that it was nonsense, but at this moment, looking at the friend of Aiko in front of her, this friend who can make Aiko on his deathbed, she actually felt that this was true.

Yes! It must have been her Son's apparition in heaven and his approval of her decision!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Tai had no way to hide it, and bluntly stated her plan: "On the marriage certificate prepared by Ci'er before her death, there is still an empty name of matchmaker, I want you to be the matchmaker of Ci'er and Xiu, so that this marriage certificate will take effect!" ”
