Gu Yunxiang's tears fell to the ground one by one, and she choked up: "When the news of my father's death in battle came, my aunt ...... washed her face with tears all day long, and after she reluctantly sent her father into the ground the day before yesterday, she ...... He refused to eat, saying that he wanted to ...... I will follow my father, I ...... I can't persuade either, just ...... The man was unconscious, and I thought...... I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight......"

"Hunger strike?" Xin Nian asked in disbelief: "Aunt Qin wants to be martyred?" ”

Gu Yunxiang hurriedly shook his head, looking at Xin Nian nervously with wide tears in his eyes: "I don't dare to think about this, how dare my aunt hope to be buried with my father?" It's just that...... You can find a random place around him......"

"Don't don't, don't talk about this yet, let's go see Aunt Qin first, this ...... Even if you have a deep relationship with the old prince, you can't do such a foolish thing, the burial was a bad habit of the old dynasty a hundred years ago, and now this is not advocated. ”

Xin Nian pulled Gu Yunxiang and left, while instructing Xinghua behind him: "You go to the kitchen, don't limit yourself to rice soup, ginseng soup, chicken soup or something, call and send it quickly, if you are just hungry, people will still be saved." ”

"Yes."

Xinghua agreed, trotted to the kitchen, here Xin Nian pulled Gu Yunxiang in a hurry, walked to the fork in the road, and patted his head: "Where is your yard?" I've been in the backyard for a short time, and I haven't been to you yet. ”

"Go this way."

Gu Yunxiang stretched out her hand and pointed to the left, and then led the way in front, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say, for so many years, the mother and daughter had been living in the small courtyard, she was like a puppet, how could people arrange her to do it, this time if it weren't for Aunt Qin's death, and thinking that Xin Nian had asked for the golden hairpin for them earlier, she would never dare to go out to beg for it.

The more he walked, the more desolate he became, Xin Nian looked at Gu Yunxiang's back, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart: If he doesn't come out of Qingliang Pavilion after being reborn, even if the six boys don't die, will he be like Gu Yunxiang? No one cared about it, no one cared, and even when her mother was about to die, she couldn't find anyone to ask for help, and finally came to beg her, but she wanted to prepare a coffin for Aunt Qin.

Rich and noble Zhumen, the scenery is infinite, who knows that in this luxurious palace, it is actually cannibalism.

Xin Nian had never been as deeply aware of the cruelty of the backyard of Duanwang's Mansion as he was at this time. If before that, she was hostile to Princess Liao and the Liao family, just wanting to fight for a better future for herself and her children, and live a rich and peaceful life. So at the moment, the idea changed.

The slender jade hand clenched into a fist. She didn't know if she had the ability, and she didn't know if Gu Changting's favor for her could last until that day came, but she now had a strong desire: she wanted to be the master of the house, she wanted to change the Duanwang Mansion, so that this backyard could no longer eat people and not spit out bones, and she wanted this prince's mansion to have no unjust souls from now on.

"Here we are."

Gu Yunxiang's voice pulled Xin Nian's thoughts back, and she took a deep breath: It's too early to think about this, and it's not even realistic at all, it's better to do what is within your ability first, take this wish as an aspiration, and then slowly figure it out.

Following Gu Yunxiang into the somewhat dilapidated courtyard, Xin Nianzhong couldn't help but ask softly, "Have you always lived here?" ”

"I moved here the year before last."

Gu Yunxiang replied in a low voice, so Xin Nian understood: The year before last, it was the day when the northern Xinjiang was in a worrying situation, and Prince Duan was ordered to go in command.

The princess is a person who is still from a big family, but her temperament is so narrow-minded, she doesn't even want to do superficial work. Now that the old prince is dead, she has almost no restraints in this mansion, and she must beware of what cruel things she will do in the future.

At this time, Xin Nian also understood why Aunt Qin would go on a hunger strike and be martyred. The concubine doesn't care about anything, Gu Changting is not close to them, once the old prince dies, it can be said that there is no hope for the last point, if you don't seek death, you can only live and suffer every day, what is this hunger strike? It's clear that he's desperate for life.

After entering the house, I saw Aunt Qin dressed neatly, and Banban was lying on the bed, only to startle Xin Nian, and hurriedly stepped forward to probe her breath, only to find that the person was still alive. It's just that the breath is really weak.

After looking around, these rooms are almost the same as the four walls of the house, there is nothing to eat, but fortunately, there is still hot water, so I poured a bowl, broke Aunt Qin's mouth and poured a little into her first, and said urgently: "Why haven't the people in the kitchen come yet?" ”

Gu Yunxiang stood beside Mu Ran, and said with tears in his eyes when he heard this: "Auntie don't be busy, Aunt Qin...... The will to die has been decided, let alone to be saved, so what? It's just a day like this, and I don't even have any hope. ”

Xin Nian looked at her, got up and grabbed her cold little hand, and sighed: "Don't say that, life will always get better, people have hope when they are alive, and when they die, there is really nothing." ”

Gu Yunxiang turned her head, perhaps she had never heard such gentle and comforting words, she couldn't help but cry and said: "My mother took my hand last night and said, tell me to live well, I am a girl from the palace, I will be out of the cabinet one day, and my husband's family is my hope." But I don't believe it, what good family can a concubine who no one cares about marry? Even if I get married, what help can I bring to my husband's family? There is no value if there is no help, there is no value, I am afraid that even the lady of the prince in our house is not comparable, the prince is still a decent person, and can give her the most basic respect, how can I have this good luck? Can you meet such a good person? If I hadn't asked for a coffin for my mother, I would have gone with my mother to find my father......"

Xin Nian heard her say this with tears in her eyes, and she was a little surprised in her heart: I didn't expect that this third girl had been neglected since she was a child, but she could still have this insight, and she was really sober and transparent. Unfortunately, I don't know why? Gu Changting never mentioned their mother and daughter, reasoning, he shouldn't be such a ruthless person, what twists and turns are there?

Just thinking about it, I heard the sound of footsteps outside, turned my head to look, and saw Du Sanniang and Xinghua walking in with two food boxes, and when they saw her, they hurriedly saluted: "Auntie is also here?" We heard Miss Xinghua's words, fortunately, the fish soup, chicken soup, rice soup, and ginseng soup in the kitchen are all prepared, and we hurriedly came after picking up a few bowls, how is Aunt Qin? ”

"I'm still alive, feed the ginseng soup quickly."

Xin Nian breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, Du Sanniang also saw Aunt Qin, and couldn't help but be stunned, and muttered: "It's all cleaned up, just wait for your breath." ”

"Let's get the people back first, and then we'll talk about it later."

Xin Nian walked over and helped Aunt Qin up, and joined forces with Du Sanniang to feed her ginseng soup. Fortunately, although Aunt Qin had made up her mind to die, her body instinct was still there, and as soon as she fed the delicious ginseng soup into her mouth, her throat couldn't stop swallowing like a long drought and a rainy day, and she soon drank all the bowls of ginseng soup.
