"What's so flustered? Didn't the second young master go back to Huzhou Mansion? Why all the fuss? Yun asked.

"The second young master met a mountain bandit on the road...... Misfortune...... Unfortunately died...... "The little guy gasped and carefully reported the news.

Hearing this, the faces of Yun and Wei Yichen changed greatly.

"What do you say? Is it the second young master? Killed? Wei Yichen stepped forward, grabbed the little girl's clothes, and asked.

"I didn't ...... Make no mistake, it's the second young master, and the well guard who sent the second young master out said it himself! ”

"Where's the well guard?" Wei Yichen asked.

"He was injured and now he is ...... in the front yard"

Wei Yichen shook off the little guy and walked towards the front yard.

Yun also hurriedly got up and rushed to the front yard with the help of Cui Ping.

In the front yard, Jing Hu was kneeling on the ground, his hair and clothes shabby and dirty.

Wei Yichen took a step forward: "What about Jin Yi?" ”

Jing Hu slowly turned behind him.

Behind him, there were two stretchers, covered with white cloths.

Wei Yichen's movements slowed down, looking at the stretcher covered with white cloth, and did not move for a long time.

At this moment, Wei Ruo ran over.

The moment he saw the stretcher, Wei Ruo's face turned pale.

Wei Ruo walked to the stretcher, and when there were two steps left, Wei Yichen stopped in front of her and stretched out his arm to prevent her from continuing to get closer.

"It doesn't have to be Jinyi." Wei Yichen said to Wei Ruo.

"Let me see!" Wei Ruodao.

Wei Yichen looked at Wei Ruo's firm eyes: "I'll take a look first, don't worry." ”

Wei Ruo didn't listen to Wei Yichen, pushed Wei Yichen away, stepped forward, and lifted the white cloth covering the stretcher.

Beneath the white cloth was a cold corpse, with a large number of knife wounds on the corpse, and it had already decomposed to a certain extent, and it was impossible to see its original appearance.

Only the tattered clothes could be vaguely recognized as the clothes that Wei Jin usually wore.

The tragic condition of the corpse made everyone, including Wei Yichen, turn their heads sideways, and even made the Yun family, who had just arrived, almost faint.

Wei Ruo didn't flinch, she looked at the corpse and discerned it carefully.

"Ruo'er, don't look at it." Wei Yichen tried to pull Wei Ruo away.

Such a picture is too cruel.

Wei Ruo didn't listen to Wei Yichen's gaze and still stayed on the corpse, and at the same time asked Jing Hu: "Jing Guard, what happened?" ”

Jing Hu knelt on the ground and explained: "I sent the second young master north, and after arriving at Huzhou Mansion, I encountered an ambush by mountain bandits, and several of us resisted desperately, but the other party was numerous and occupied a favorable position. In the end, the three of us were defeated, and the second young master and Xiaobei both died......"

Jing Hu blamed himself again: "My subordinates should be damned, I didn't protect the second young master!" Subordinates damn it! Since he should apologize for his crime with death, but his subordinates can't let the second young master die in another country, so I will do everything I can to send the second young master's body back to Taizhou Mansion. It's just that because the coil was lost, I moved slowly with the bodies of the second young master and Xiaobei, and walked for more than ten days before returning to Taizhou Mansion. ”

It was delayed for more than ten days, and the weather was relatively hot during this period, resulting in a certain degree of decomposition of the corpse.

Wei Yichen frowned, his eyes were painful, his fists were clenched, and after a long time, he ordered: "Go and inform my father of this news." ”

Immediately afterwards, Wei Yichen asked people to call back Wei Yilin, who was still in the school, and then asked Xiumei to come over and help Wei Ruo: "Take care of the eldest lady, don't let her have an accident." ”

Xiumei nodded and stood beside Wei Ruo, holding Wei Ruo's tightly with one hand.

Xiumei looked at Wei Ruo, and saw that Wei Ruo's face was pale, and her eyes still did not take her eyes off the unrecognizable corpse.

"Miss, don't look at it." Xiumei pulled Wei Ruo nervously.

"I'm fine, I've seen a lot of dead people, I'm not afraid." Wei Ruo said.

"Miss......"

"I can stand it."

Xiumei didn't know how to comfort Wei Ruo better, so she could only choose to accompany her quietly.

When she looked at the two corpses on the ground, Xiumei's heart also hurt tightly.

The two people who were alive half a month ago have now become two lifeless corpses. She didn't want to believe that it was true, let alone Miss......

About two hours later, Wei Mingting returned to the Captain's Mansion, he had just won the battle recently, and there was no urgency in the army, so he came back relatively quickly this time.

Looking at the two corpses in the front yard and the Jing Hu kneeling on the ground, Wei Mingting frowned.

Wei Mingting asked Jing Hu about what happened, and Jing Hu answered them one by one, and the content of the answers was no different from what he had just told Wei Yichen.

After listening to Jing Hu's explanation, Wei Mingting was silent for a long time.

After a while, Wei Mingting closed his eyes in grief and instructed his subordinates to buy a coffin and a cemetery.

"Father, won't the body of the second brother be transported back to the capital?" Wei Yichen asked.

The ancestral grave of their Wei family is in the capital, and Taizhou Mansion is just a place for them to stay temporarily.

"Now that there are disasters and famines, it's not safe along the way, so instead of going back and forth, it's better to be buried here." Wei Mingting said.

"But father, the second brother is always a member of my Wei family, I am afraid it is inappropriate to leave him here alone, if you are transferred elsewhere in a few years, the second brother will only be left here, even on the day of the Qingming death, there is no one to worship." Wei Yichen voiced his concerns.

"If that's the case, let's wait for me to be transferred, it's an eventful time now, it's better to run less."

Immediately afterwards, Wei Mingting sighed and said, "Summoning all the people in the mansion back, let's hold a beautiful funeral for Jin Yi." ”

Wei Yichen was silent for a long time before he slowly responded.

Then the school captain's mansion was busy, and a mourning hall was arranged in the house, covered with white cloths everywhere, and white lanterns were hung.

When the white clothes were delivered to Wei Ruo, Wei Ruo was stunned for a moment, and then slowly stretched out his hand and put the clothes in his hand.

"Miss, according to the rules here, only those who are younger than the second young master can burn paper money for the second young master, so I have to work hard for you tonight."

Mama Zhang, who sent the clothes, said to Wei Ruo, with a distressed expression.

Who would have thought that the second young master would leave so suddenly? It is a good time, and there is not even a descendant who can give filial piety.

"I see." Wei Ruo nodded.

Then Wei Ruo went back to the room to change his clothes and came out, and followed Mama Zhang to the mourning hall.

There was a brazier next to the coffin at the back of the mourning hall, and there were three futons in front of the brazier, in addition to Wei Ruo's one, there were two other places that should be reserved for Wei Qingwan and Wei Yilin.

Although Wei Qingwan was punished, this kind of thing happened in the mansion, and she also wanted to come back.

After Wei Ruo knelt down, he began to put paper money into the brazier.

It didn't take long for Wei Qingwan to come.

Like Wei Ruo, she also changed into a white linen dress.

Wei Qingwan knelt down beside Wei Ruo, and then said to Wei Ruo: "Sister, good and evil are rewarded, you are planning to drive me out of the house, and now the retribution has come, so that the second brother who is the best friend of you has an accident." ”
