Ji Shu followed the housekeeper of the Bofu to the mansion, and said as he walked:

"Didn't the old lady do well a few days ago? How did it suddenly become like this? ”

"I don't know if I know it, but I heard that the old lady has nightmares these days, always screaming and screaming, and yesterday was especially powerful, and she tossed all night. This morning, when Song's mother went to see it, she found that the old lady had her eyes open, and she had more air and less air in...... Just say ......"

Ji Shu quickened his pace and rushed to the person behind him: "Hou Ye will go down to the court immediately, you send someone to tell Hou Ye." ”

There was a cry in Fushoutang, and people in several rooms of the house gathered in the courtyard to cry and cry.

The steward led Ji Shu into the house, opened his mouth and said, "The young lady is here!" The young lady is here! ”

Old Mrs. Qi was lying on the bed panting, her eyes were like cows, and when she heard this, she rolled her eyes vigorously and looked to the side.

Ji Shu walked towards her with an anxious face.

Mrs. Qi had a nightmare all night, and when she was delirious, she dreamed of a strange thing.

In her dream, Ji Shu did not go to the border to save Qi Ye.

Qi Ye was abolished, Ji Shu was deceived by them, raised Brother Qi Bao'er as his own child, and raised the two children as a dragon and phoenix, Qi Chengxu and Wuding Hou rose step by step with the help of the Ji family, Qi Chengxu became the son, and the Wuding Marquis Mansion was in full swing.

Later, the new emperor ascended the throne, Qi Chengxu became a celebrity in front of the new emperor, she wore the most graceful and luxurious clothes and sat high in the hall, accepting the worship of the descendants of the house.

One of the people in the trance mentioned that Qi Chengxu's wife had been sick in the backyard for several months, and asked if he wanted to ask the imperial doctor to come and see him.

Old Lady Qi raised her hand casually.

"The Ji family has fallen, and it's useless to keep her. Let Xu'er go and give her a good time. ”

How glamorous she was in the dream, so that Mrs. Qi woke up and couldn't help but reminisce, but her immobile body made her recognize the reality.

In a trance, Mrs. Qi seemed to see another her behind the current Ji Shu.

The cloak was thin and dry, and his open hands floated towards her as Ji Shu approached.

He said: "Grandmother, I have been filial to you for a lifetime, but I have been deceived by you to this point. Grandmother, I'm here for revenge, come down to the underworld with me. ”

Don't, don't come...... No!

Old Lady Qi rushed up in one breath, stuck in her throat, her eyes were round, and her head fell hard.

Mother Song, who was kneeling beside Mrs. Qi, stretched out her hand and cried:

"Old lady! Old lady—"

Wu Dingbo took a few steps back and sat down on the chair, and Li stepped forward to sniff, and also knelt down and cried.

Outside the house, people ran to spread the word: Mrs. Qi is dead.

Ji Shu stood not far away, looking at the body of Old Lady Qi with an expressionless face.

She didn't blink her eyes, her eyes didn't close, and before she died, she only had fear in her eyes, and she didn't have any remorse.

Wu Dingbo also wanted to hide Mrs. Qi's death for a few days, but the news quickly spread, so he had to send someone to report the funeral.

handed the emperor an excerpt and took leave to prepare for the funeral for Mrs. Qi.

The white silk was hung up and down the Bofu, and the filial piety flags were erected, and the coffin was stopped in the hall, and there were people crying and burning paper in front of the spirit day and night.

Everything else was fine, but only one thing was difficult.

The person who came to bury the corpse said to An Shi, who was in charge of the funeral: "Second wife, the old lady died with her eyes open, and these eyelids couldn't close ......."

An Shi stood in the mourning hall, and felt hairy all over his body when he listened to the words.

"Why can't it be closed?"

"I've thought about it, really...... Can't get along. ”

"Then put a white cloth over your eyes and make it look closed."

The undertaker had no choice but to obey.

A few days after the spirit stopped, on the day of condolence, many officials in the court and their families came, and An Shi said that he was too busy to leave, and called Ji Shu to go to meet the female dependents.

After the funeral was over, when Mrs. Qi was buried, Ji Shu and Qi Ye stood together, but bowed to the coffin.

It's just that there are still no tears.

On the way back to the city, Li was still talking to Wu Dingbo about this matter: "Look at the eldest daughter-in-law, the old lady has not seen her shed tears once in the past two days, and she stands behind with a cold face every time, which is very scary." And as soon as she went, the old lady choked her breath, how could it be so coincidental, maybe she was unlucky, and the old lady was restrained by her! ”

"Can you say a little less?"

Wu Dingbo couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled at her with a cold face.

Li Shi was startled, closed his mouth in cringe, and said cautiously after a while: "What's wrong with Uncle?" ”

“…… Tomorrow I'm going to deliver the post. This Ding worry is three years at a time, and I don't know if it will recover after three years. Chengxu has no official position, now only Qi Ye can move around in the court, and the Bofu depends on him, at this juncture, you still have to accuse his wife of being bad, do you want the Bofu to have no place in the future! ”

Li's face turned slightly pale, and she only realized at this moment that she would have to rely on the Hou Mansion next door for relief in the next three years.

She returned to the mansion, thought about it, and asked her subordinates to send a fruit basket to the Hou Mansion next door.

Ji Shu cleaned up his things in the room, put all the bright clothes into the cabinet, and Xi Tao brought the fruit basket in, saying that it was given by the Li family.

Ji Shu glanced at it and laughed.

"Give it to the people in the kitchen, let them divide it. It's been hard work for them for a while. ”

In the blink of an eye, in mid-August, Qi Ye went down to court this day and brought a message to Ji Shu.

Ji Shugang put the bean paste cake in his mouth, and was slightly stunned when he heard the words, "Brother is going to Jiangzhou?" ”

"The Emperor's order was issued this morning. Appointed him to inspect the imperial history and give Shang Fang the sword. Three days later, he went to Jiangzhou with other officials to investigate the case. ”

Ji Shu slowly put down the bean paste cake, his brows furrowed slightly, and he had lost the interest in eating.

Qi Ye looked at her and said, "Sui Sui is worried about his safety on this trip?" I sent someone to check on Ah Furong's affairs, and I got very little information, and the status of the person behind this scene is not low. But your brother is not a stupid person, and there is no shortage of talented officials in the past who accompanied him, so there should be no problem. ”

"If you're really worried, I'll send someone to protect him."

Ji Shu looked at Qi Ye, and his heart was soft, he went to check A Furong for no reason, it must be because of her abnormal behavior that day.

Ji Shu said: "Chang Ying, I won't tell you, I'm not afraid of anything else. I'm afraid someone will do something with my brother's meal. ”

"After Fleur was infected, it was basically impossible to quit. This thing can easily ruin a person. ”

"I want to go home tomorrow, and I'll tell my brother anyway."

Qi Ye bowed his head seriously, "I'll accompany you." ”

The next day, Ji Shu and Qi Ye came to Ji Mansion, and Ji Chengfeng was packing his luggage.

I was surprised to learn that the two of them were coming, "Suisui, why are you here?" ”

"Come and see my brother."

Ji Shu said hello to Wen Huanting, and asked everyone to go out.

Ji Chengfeng smiled and rubbed her head, "It's worthy of being my good sister, I know I'm worried about my brother." Brother is fine, don't worry. Sure to return safely. ”

These words overlap with those in memory.

At that time, Ji Chengfeng told her seriously:

"Nian Sui, don't worry. When I return safely, I will definitely be able to upgrade a few more levels, and then I will have a higher official position than Uncle Wuding, so you don't have to raise those two wild seeds anymore, and my brother will take you home. ”

But her eldest brother who is glorious and moonlight, after coming back, has become a criminal who colludes with others and sucks Ah Furong.

Ji Shu's eyes were slightly red, and he said, "Brother, you have to be careful, someone wants to harm you." ”
