Chapter 128: Suddenly
"Ugh." Yan Yue sighed, "The Nine Kings said this, Yan Yue is grateful. ”
"Sister Yan, don't worry, I have to rest and eat recently, I will come to see you again after a while, I don't want to see you thinner by then......" Zhong Lixuan also instructed her, "By the way, the Mo family ...... Can you come to Yanfu, or send a letter? ”
"......" Yan Yue didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly, and Zhong Lixuan knew the answer.
Situ Xi heard Zhong Lisu say that this Mo family is a newly promoted family of magnates in Xuan'an City, and its head was originally the leader of a certain imperial examination in previous years, but his later career path was a little mediocre.
But just the year before last, he was suddenly appreciated and reused by the Chu Emperor because of a letter, and then the Mo family rose rapidly, and the Yu family later made a marriage contract for Yan Yue and the son of the Mo family.
The current situation of the Yan family, it is estimated that the people of the Mo family will not dare to get close to it anymore, they have no news so far, I am afraid they are busy dissociating themselves with the Yan family.
After talking to Yan Yue for a few more words, and taking care of her for lunch, Situ Xi and Zhong Li said goodbye to her, and the two walked out of the door together.
Wei Lan was waiting at the door, and after Situ Xi came out, he nodded at him, "How?" ”
"Uncle, I took this Yanfu around, and just now I chatted with the few remaining people in this mansion, specific things...... Let's talk about it later. ”
Situ Xi nodded, this is indeed not the place to talk about things.
"By the way, Yuji, if I want to send a maid in to this girl, I can do it?"
"This ......" Wei Lan hesitated for a moment, "if it's just a maid...... I'll find a way to do it, but after she enters Miss Yan's room, she can't go out at will. ”
"Of course, thanks to the fish machine." Situ Xi nodded, and Zhong Li threw a grateful glance at him.
Although Yan Yue was quite calm just now, her condition was actually very bad, her hands were trembling slightly when she spoke, although she deliberately covered it up, but Situ Xi still caught it.
Situ Xi plans to find someone to take care of her daily life, of course, this is not the main purpose, he is mainly worried that Yan Yue will do something stupid during this time, and he has to find someone to keep an eye on him, and Zhong Lisu will be more relieved.
"Uncle, please come with me to the Ming Mansion later."
"Uncle Yue wants to see me?"
"No, it's the third lady who passed away......"
……
Mi Shi died, and this sudden news made Situ Xi and Zhong Lixuan too late to go home for lunch, and after the two of them left the Yan Mansion, they immediately followed Wei Lan to the Huaiming Mansion.
Wei Lan didn't tell Situ Xi why their third lady died, Situ Xi felt that this matter was really a bit sudden, he had only met Mi not long ago, the injury on her head was said to be fine after recuperation, her age was not too old, and her body looked healthy, so why did she die suddenly?
With questions, Situ Xi walked into the Huaiming Mansion, the atmosphere in the mansion was not as heavy as Situ Xi thought, and he did not see some white silk hanging high in this mansion, Situ Xi saw Zhong Limo and Zhong Liyi in the front yard, and the two of them were not wearing white clothes, the two were still wearing their usual clothes and were sitting on a bench chatting.
The people on the side were building a high platform in the courtyard, and many people were bringing some incense burners and silk from other places, but they didn't see Zhong Liwu's figure in the courtyard, and they didn't know what he was doing at the moment.
"Brother Mo, what's the situation now?"
Situ Xi led Zhong Limo and walked straight to the edge of the bench, they sat next to the two casually, and without greeting the two, Situ Xi asked Zhong Limo directly about the situation.
"It's my brother-in-law who came, and I got the news from the house today, and the third aunt ......"
"Sister-in-law, what useful news did Yanfu and his party get today?" Zhong Liyi suddenly interrupted Zhong Limo with a remark, and he still had the warm smile on his face at the moment, asking Situ Xi about the harvest of his Yanfu trip.
Situ Xi looked at Zhong Liyi, and was suddenly stunned, the third lady in this mansion had passed away, why could he ask himself so easily about these things that had nothing to do with the funeral.
"Brother, this matter can be talked about later, I don't know what the house is ...... now" Situ Xi wanted to ask if there was anything he needed to do now, and the people around him were busy, after all, the Mi family was an elder, and filial piety came first, and it stands to reason that Zhong Liyi and they should also wear linen and filial piety, but I don't know why the two of them didn't.
Situ Xi cast an inquiring glance at Zhong Lixuan, but saw that she also shook his head in confusion, unable to figure out the form.
"Sister-in-law is talking about Mi's affairs, you don't need to worry about this matter, I called you back just to let you participate in the ceremony for a while...... The sister-in-law may not know that Mi has actually been divorced by her father not long ago, and she accidentally fell into the water on the way back to her hometown...... That was the day before yesterday, but we just got the news today, although she has nothing to do with my Zhongli family after the concubine, but after all, she is also a former family member, and my father is not a ruthless person, even if there is no need to hold a ceremony according to the etiquette system, but my father still asked people to arrange it......"
"Concubine? Why? When exactly did it happen, and why haven't I heard of it with my wife? ”
Zhong Liyi's explanation made Situ Xi's mind a little confused for a while, and the amount of information in it was a bit large, and he needed to digest it.
First of all, it is a problem of cognition, Situ Xi thought that there was no such thing as "divorce" in the concubine room, he didn't know which miscellaneous book he had read before, it is said that divorce and divorce are just some statements for Yu Zheng's wife, but he is not very clear about the specifics, after all, he was just flipping through idle books at random when he was bored, and he didn't deliberately check it.
On the other hand, it stands to reason that such an important matter as a concubine will not be carried out silently, not to mention that the Mi family is the concubine of the Duke of Huaiming, and this kind of thing is not a trivial matter in Xuan'an City, but even the people in Zhong Li's family don't know about it......
"My father has always been low-key, this is a family matter, and it is not appropriate to make a fuss."
"As for the reason, it's not clear, but my father has always been very good to the Mi family, and it must be impossible to divorce her for some trivial things."
