Xu Hongdou was separated from Yan Song and his party at the door of the teahouse, and Yan Song wanted to take King Jiang and Wu Guozhi back to the palace to accept the verbal criticism of the princes in turn!

Over the years, the red sleeve move is not a decoration, on the contrary, its development speed is extremely amazing, and there is no red sleeve move that the big and small things that happen in the capital. After all, the king of Xinjiang had just returned from the frontier, and he didn't know how powerful the red sleeves were to attract eyeliner, so he thought that if he asked Wu Guozhi to buy a few people to smear the Chen Dynasty, he would be able to sit back and relax and watch the Chen Dynasty fall into disrepute.

As everyone knows, their every move has long been under the control of the red sleeve move.

If the red sleeves had imagined that the woman who was shouting this morning would not have been able to go on the street at all, she would have died peacefully in a certain alley, but Xu Hongdou did not do that, she asked the king of Xinjiang to plant a big heel.

That's what we are today.

At the door of the teahouse, Xu Hongdou got into the carriage, and as the coachman waved the horsewhip, the wheel of the carriage turned leisurely.

In the carriage, a set of white mourning clothes that had been prepared long ago was placed on the seat.

Xu Hongdou held the mourning clothes in both hands, buried her head, silent tears slid down her cheeks, as early as a month ago, the red sleeves received the news of Chen Chao's death, and she has endured it until now.

"Go home."

"Yes."

The driver who was driving outside heard that Xu Hongdou's voice was wrong, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he concentrated on driving to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Changle Fang.

……

Not long after, Xu Hongdou, who was dressed in mourning clothes, was faster than the large army of the mission and arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion in Changle Fang ahead of schedule!

The porter saw his fourth lady coming back in mourning clothes, and he was puzzled for a while and confused.

But the old porter still greeted him with a smile: "Madam, why are you back today?" ”

Xu Hongdou does not often go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion to live, and usually lives in the Red Sleeve Move, maintaining the daily operation of the Red Sleeve Move, so the old porter saw Xu Hongdou with a look of surprise.

At this time, the sun was already hanging high, Xu Hongdou looked at the old porter, his expression was low, and asked softly, "Sister Wan can be in the house?" ”

"In, in, in." The old porter answered three times in a row, leaning his back, "The eldest lady is in the house, and now it is estimated that she is in the backyard at this hour, and even the eldest lady is here, and the school is on vacation today." ”

"Hmm." Xu Hongdou nodded, what she always has to face, it is better for her to tell Song Qingwan the bad news, and hope that Song Qingwan will feel better.

Didn't let the old porter lead the way, Xu Hongdou, who was dressed in a white mourning clothes, traveled lightly in the huge Prime Minister's Mansion, and soon came to the backyard, and the maid on the road saw that his fourth lady came back and hurriedly leaned over to salute, and after Xu Hongdou left, they dared to raise their heads and whisper.

are all curious about why the fourth lady is wearing a mourning dress.

As soon as he entered the backyard, Tangbao, who was wearing a small skirt, stopped in front of Xu Hongdou, who was wearing a beautiful little skirt, raised his palm-sized face and looked at Xu Hongdou, and shouted happily:

"Siniang, why are you back?"

"Siniang is back......"

Tangbao stretched out two short arms, one of them fluttered, pounced on Xu Hongdou, hugged one of Xu Hongdou's legs with both hands, and shouted happily over and over again.

"Siniang is back, is that dad coming back soon?" Tangbao looked at Xu Hongdou expectantly.

Suddenly, Xu Hongdou's nose was sour, and he endured it all the way, almost because of Tangbao's words, he hurriedly turned his head and stretched out his sleeve to wipe the tears that were about to gush out.

Tangbao didn't know what was going on, so he hugged Xu Hongdou and didn't let go, shouting vigorously:

"Siniang, Siniang, you say, is Dad coming back soon?"

"Sugar Treasure hasn't seen Dad for a long time, where has Dad gone?"

"Is it okay for Siniang to take Tangbao to see Daddy?"

Tangbao felt that her fourth mother came back today for the first time, so her father, who she hadn't seen for a long time, would definitely come back, and she couldn't wait to see her father.

Xu Hongdou soured his nose, held back his tears, reached out and gently touched Sugar Baby's head, and beckoned the maid to take Sugar Treasure away.

Before he could get the sugar treasure off his body, Xu Hongdou saw a charming woman appear in sight, there was a fine bead of sweat on the woman's white forehead, obviously she had just come out of the test field in the backyard, and her dress was splashed with a lot of mud.

"Yikes. The red beans are back, why didn't anyone tell me? Song Qingwan stretched out her hand, with a soft light on her face, and her eyebrows and eyes were crooked and she smiled to meet her.

Walking to the front, Song Qingwan saw the mourning clothes on Xu Hongdou's body, and the expression on her face obviously stagnated for a moment, but soon, Song Qingwan pretended to be casual and warmly entertained Xu Hongdou: "Hongdou, I just came back, I'm tired, let's go eat some snacks and tea......

"Sister Wan, Xiangye, he" Xu Hongdou didn't dare to look directly at Song Qingwan and said.

"What do you say? He's in Qin State, he won't be able to come back for a while, we sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, I have a lot to tell you, let's go talk for a while, don't mention him...... "I don't know if it's intentional, Song Qingwan interrupted Xu Hongdou's words, took Xu Hongdou's hand and walked to the side hall.

This pull, but it didn't.

Two lines of tears flowed down Xu Hongdou's face.

She stared at Song Qingwan's back, knowing that Song Qingwan felt uncomfortable and didn't want to admit it.

But there are some things that Xu Hongdou must say.

"Sister Wan, Xiangye he, he ......"

Song Qingwan turned around slowly, her eyes were red, she reached out and wiped her sour nose, looked at Xu Hongdou, and said in a trembling voice: "Hongdou, I'm fine, really, really ......"

In the midst of the confusion, Song Qingwan's body went limp without warning.

In an instant, all thoughts are lost!

Xu Hongdou's parents died, she was wearing mourning clothes, how could Song Qingwan not understand, the prime minister's mother understood it in her heart, but she didn't want to admit it.

"Come on, come on."

Everyone hurriedly carried Song Qingwan who had fainted to the bedroom, Xu Hongdou handed Song Qingwan to the maid to take care of, and called a small servant:

"Go, call the third lady back!"

"Yes."

The little guy hurried to do it.

After doing all this, Xu Hongdou took Tangbao's hand and went to the gate to greet him, calculating the time The team to deliver the coffin should have arrived.

As soon as he came to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the coffin appeared at the end of the street, Tang Bao stood on tiptoe and raised his little face to look, blinked, and asked, "Siniang, what are they doing?" ”

"Send your dad back!"

Tang Bao didn't understand, looked left and right, and the maids at the gate of the house all reached out to wipe their tears and cried quietly.

Sugar Baby still didn't understand, she didn't know why the adults were crying.

As the envoy approached, Tangbao saw several familiar figures in the crowd, one of which was her second mother Ning Baizhi, she broke free of Xu Hongdou's hand, jumped down the steps with two small short legs, walked through the crowd, and came to Ning Baizhi, who was also wearing mourning clothes.

"Erniang, where is Dad? Daddy......" Sugar Bao took Ning Baizhi's hand, his eyes were big and bright, and he asked over and over again.

Ning Baizhi's face was bloodless, and she was shaking, if someone didn't hold her back, she was afraid that she would fall down in the next moment.

Sugar Bao turned his gaze to another person: "Uncle Hou Ji, where is Dad?" ”

Poof!

Hou Ji knelt on his knees and looked up to the sky and cried bitterly:

"Dead! Your dad is dead! ”

Sugar Treasure stood in place, blinking ignorantly...... He's dead?

The little girl froze, standing motionless, watching the adults around her cry more fiercely than the other.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Hou is sorry for you, I didn't protect your father!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"

Hou Ji knelt down in front of the little girl, grabbed Sugar Bao's little hand, buried his head, and shook his body.

"You're a liar! Uncle Hou, you lie! Sugar Baby suddenly howled.

"My dad didn't die, he didn't die, my dad won't die!"

"Uncle Hou, you are a liar...... Woo woo woo, you lie. Sugar Treasure clenched his fists and cried as he hit Hou Ji.

Xu Hongdou stood at the door, watching this scene, and suddenly regretted bringing Tangbao out.

Hou Ji knelt in front of the little girl, the little girl cried and beat Hou Ji, and shouted over and over again, "Uncle Hou lied, my father is not dead." ”

Hou Ji was indifferent, hung his head, and his body shook......

Murong Yue returned to the house at noon, and before that, she was still choosing small clothes for customers in her small clothes store.

Before the carriage could stop steadily, she jumped down regardless of the danger, her face was pale, and she rushed into the prime minister's mansion with her skirt in both hands, but she tripped over the steps at the door, and her palms scratched the skin and oozing blood.

She didn't feel the pain, and she scrambled to her feet and rushed into the house.

In the courtyard, she saw people hanging white lanterns, white prayer flags, and a white cloth tied around everyone's waist, and the sad atmosphere spread wildly in the prime minister's mansion.

At the door of the main hall, he saw a group of high-ranking officials he didn't know, Hou Ji who knelt at the foot of the steps and refused to get up, and Sugar Treasure who was tired of crying and sat motionless on the ground.

She rushed into the main hall and saw a brand new coffin in the main hall.

Murong Yue only felt that the sky had fallen, and his eyes suddenly lost color and fell into pitch black.

"Madame, Madame......"

"Come on, the third lady has fainted."
