Chapter 198: Orphaned
After listening to Ah Fu's eloquent message, Zhou Jinnian shouted "prepare the horse" outside the door, and rushed to Ah Fu to arrange, "You, hurry up and find someone to salvage, no matter how much it costs."
After Zhou Jinnian finished speaking, he took a robe and put it on his body randomly, hurriedly went out, grabbed the reins of the horse that had been prepared, turned over and galloped towards the palace.
Zhou Jinnian drove his horse into the palace gate, and the servants such as Ah Xi who followed closely couldn't enter without a token, so they could only wait outside the palace gate with a bitter face.
Zhou Jinnian was anxious, and broke into the Zhou Gong Palace without any scruples, and pulled a small temple man to lead the way, "Quick, take the master, go to find the little girl who can play the flute, oh, the one who was beaten the day before yesterday, do you know?"
The little temple man was grabbed by the back of his neck, his face turned pale with fright, and he said tremblingly: "Know, know...... Dao".
Dong Lin rushed over with people, and saw Zhou Jinnian's anxious and menacing face, with a wry smile on his face, followed closely behind him, accompanied by great caution and persuasion, he already knew that this little marquis was a master who was not easy to mess with in the palace.
"Little Marquis, you are here...... Is there anything you can do? Just tell me...... Let the old slave do it, you go into the temple to drink tea, and wait......"
"Don't be verbose, the master wants to see, the little slave who was beaten yesterday"
When Dong Lin heard this, he was so frightened that his hands and feet were numb, and the day before yesterday, the grandfather returned to the palace with the injured Xiao Wu, and sent Nanchun, Die'er and others who provoked her, so that he was able to be promoted, and he also saw that the grandfather attached special importance to the little slave maid.
Zhou Jinnian, who had just beaten Xiao Wu the day before yesterday, rushed to the door angrily today, looking like a teacher asking for guilt, it seems that Liang Zijie is not shallow.
Alas, how could a little girl provoke this little Hades? If she didn't protect Xiao Wu, her grandfather would not be able to spare herself when she came back.
"Hey, little marquis, are you looking for that little slave maid, is there something wrong? She is small and doesn't understand the rules, how can she provoke the little marquis, the old slave will ...... for her first For you, it's not. Little Hou Ye, she is thin, she was beaten the day before yesterday, and now, I'm afraid it's ...... hasn't woken up yet, the little marquis has a lot, just spare her."
Zhou Jinnian's footsteps did not stop for a moment, and his mouth was still threatening, ", you dare to stop the master again, be careful of your doglegs."
"Little Hou Ye, the old slave doesn't dare, what the hell is going on with you?......
"It's none of your business"
After Xiao Wu woke up from the coma, she resolutely moved back to her house, at this time, she was half-lying on the couch weakly, listening to the tearful Chu Bi, hysterically pointing at her and scolding.
"Zhen Xiaowu, listen up, you're just a ...... The most despicable slave, you, shameless, charmed in every way, confused the grandfather's mind, and carried you back to the palace in front of everyone's eyes, offending the queen of heaven...... The edict that sent you to the Dance and Music Division, the king is also dissatisfied with the grandfather's refusal to marry the queen's sister, and if you don't leave, you will give it to the grandfather...... It's a big disaster! Cheap slave, hurt people, get out!"
Xiao Wu listened, there was a wave rolling in her heart, it turned out that she had caused a lot of trouble to her grandfather, she couldn't help coughing, coughing and pulling the wound, her hand covering the wound, and the cold sweat of pain flowed.
"Is it all done......? Get out"
"Zhen Xiaowu, if you ...... to your grandfather If you have a little gratitude, you should, immediately, get out of the Zhou Gong Palace, and don't rely on the grandfather anymore. Do you hear me? Hmph! The crow flew up the branches...... If you can't become a phoenix, you'll be broken...... Think about it. ”
"You go!"
"Drive me away? Do you have the qualifications? Grandpa has worked hard day and night for so many years to get the current situation, how difficult is it, how many people are there...... If you want to murder your grandfather, I will never allow it, you have dragged your grandfather down. Today, I will ask you a question, will you leave? or will you not leave?...... If you dare not leave, even if I fight hard, I will ...... you Throw out of the Zhou Gong Palace, I must not watch it, you are harmed, my most beloved person"
Serving Zhou Dan closely, Chu Bi was uncontrollably madly in love with the versatile grandfather, she took out a dagger and forced Xiao Wu to leave.
"Cheap slave, how dare you ...... Move her!?
Zhou Jinnian was outside the door, and he had heard Chu Bi shouting and scolding, and he jumped like thunder in anger, and kicked the door open angrily.
Seeing Chu Bi forcing Xiao Wu with a knife, Zhou Jinnian was as fast as lightning, and kicked her out of the distance when he raised his legs, and the dagger fell to the ground with a "bang", and she slipped and didn't know where to go.
Dong Lin led people into the house with a bitter face, and saw Chu Bi lying on the ground holding her stomach, bent into a shrimp, and screamed in pain, anxious that the six gods had no master and were at a loss.
"Gong ...... Master!"
"Damn cheap slave, look at your arrogance, it's really damned!"
"Stop, hand!"
Zhou Jinnian blew his beard and glared, rushed up to pick up Chu Bi, and was pulled by Xiao Wu, who had already gotten out of bed, and pulled the sleeves of his robe.
Pulling the wound on his body, Xiao Wu held his chest, his brows tightened, and he sighed heavily.
Zhou Jinnian turned his face to look at her, his eyes were full of guilt and pity.
Being scolded by Chu Bi for splitting her head and covering her face, Xiao Wu learned something, although she was not in love and didn't know what it was, but it was indeed an indisputable fact that her grandfather was unusually good to herself.
Xiao Wu didn't expect that her existence could affect her grandfather's marriage, and she didn't have time to think about it, what did these words mean? Violating Yi's will and carrying herself back to the palace would definitely cause trouble for her grandfather, and she couldn't repay her kindness, and she must not give it to her benefactor, and then cause trouble.
Xiao Wu looked at it, Chu Bi, who was curled up on the ground in pain, and Chu Bi, who was in tears, opened her mouth weakly and gasped.
"Chu Bi, you misunderstood, I'...... I don't want to be distracted, and I don't want to ...... Cause trouble for Eun Gong, you say, I was sent to the dance and music division?...... I'll leave, you, you, don't worry, I'll ...... It's okay to see my grandfather again."
Zhou Jinnian looked at the girl in a middle coat in front of him, she was so thin and thin, pale and haggard, her lips were pursed resolutely, there was a look on her face that did not match her age, and the grief in her eyes made his heart throb violently.
Zhou Jinnian came back to his senses, threw a small burden in his hand to Xiao Wu, and then turned his back, "Quickly change it and follow me, your father...... Something went wrong".
Xiao Wu stumbled for a moment and hurriedly asked, "What?...... My dad, what's wrong?".
Zhou Jinnian couldn't bear to tell the truth, and said ambiguously: "It's not good, go ...... Check it out".
Xiao Wu had a bad premonition, after all, Lang Zhong had already said that her father was too sick and couldn't live long, she was already mentally prepared in her heart, Xiao Wu hurriedly changed into the clothes of the servant in the package, and the expression on her face revealed that she was in pain, but she couldn't take care of it a lot.
Xiao Wu, who had changed into his robe, followed behind Zhou Jinnian, and left in a hurry under the watchful eye and tracking of Dong Lin and others, who wanted to stop but didn't dare to stop him.
When he arrived at the horse of the former highness, Zhou Jinnian was embarrassed, and only one of his horses was tied there.
Zhou Jinnian was under the horse, stunned for a moment, and then turned over on the horse.
"Come up"
Zhou Jinnian stretched out a big bent long arm, grabbed Xiao Wu's belt, and carried her behind him.
Dong Lone, who followed over, sat on the ground in fright by the scene in front of him, and was hurriedly helped up by the small temple people who followed.
Zhou Jinnian, who beat people the day before yesterday, broke into the Zhou Gong Palace today, left the palace with Xiao Wu, who seemed to be very willing, and said something he didn't understand, and he wanted to ride the same horse?
What the hell is this, it's really a big deal.
"Little Marquis, this is ...... I can't help it."
"Sit tight"
Zhou Jinnian turned a deaf ear, whispered an explanation to Xiao Wu behind him, and with a clamp on the horse's belly, the horse opened its hooves and ran.
Xiao Wu felt that it was really inappropriate, struggled a few times, and wanted to stay away, but was stopped by Zhou Jinnian.
"Don't move, that hurts...... Doesn't it hurt?
Xiao Wu was helpless, anxious about her father's situation, her body was tired, she was afraid of falling off the horse, and she had nothing to catch, so she grabbed Zhou Jinnian's robe, and her mind was full of her father moaning on the hospital bed.
Rode through the palace gate without being intercepted by any guards.
The little marquis was blatant, took a delicate little servant, and rode a horse out of the palace gate, and the guards were already stunned.
That is, this unscrupulous little marquis can not shy away from making this earth-shattering act of crying ghosts and gods.
Watching the two leave, Wu Wei's face was stiff with an inexplicable wry smile, and some began to mumble in private, depending on the ability to understand a man, you can fall in love with another man, but this kind of thing is always unsightly, you need to hide it, love is stealing love, so swaggering through the market, showing affection in front of the public, it is really ridiculous.
"Don't talk to each other, stand up"
Men Yin reprimanded, couldn't help but be curious about the Wu Wei who muttered in a low voice, looking at the direction where the horse was going, his eyes blinked, his hand pinched his chin, he was confused, he didn't know for a while, should this matter be reported to the top or not? It is estimated that this matter should cause an uproar again.
Out of the palace gate, Zhou Jinnian let his horse gallop wildly, and he didn't even hear the shouts of Ah Xi, who was waiting for him next to the palace gate.
Running all the way to the lake, a bunch of people were surrounding the freshly salvaged corpse of Zhen Guang, chattering, pointing and discussing.
Seeing Ah Fu beckoning to him, Zhou Jinnian reined in the horse, dismounted, and hugged Xiao Wu off the horse, when the two were stuck together, he saw Xiao Wu's eyebrows and eyes, and wrinkled painfully, knowing that he had touched her wound.
With an ominous premonition in her heart, Xiao Wu couldn't take a step, and Zhou Jinnian pulled her sleeve and brought her into an unforgettable scene.
Wrapped in wet clothes with aquatic plants, wrapped in a white body with only a handful of bones, Zhen Guang lay in a puddle of water, motionless as if asleep, and there was reluctance, worry and incomprehension in his half-open eyes.
Xiao Wu's tears fell down, and she knelt on the ground, holding her father's body and howling and crying.
"Daddy......"
"Mom, look, the eyes of the dead ghost...... Shut up, wow! haunted!"
An onlooker shouted, and he saw Zhen Guang, who was blind, actually in the arms of his daughter, and his eyes were closed.
"Yo he, really, it seems that before he died, he was worried about this child, and he saw it...... I'm dumbfounded."
"Isn't this the old gambler who sold his daughter? He deserves it!
“......”
"Shut up!"
Everyone chattered non-stop, and the angry Zhou Jinnian was cold and shouted loudly, and those who were talking nonsense shut up in fear when they saw it.
Seeing that Ah Xi and others also rushed over, Zhou Jinnian arranged: "Ah Xi, immediately, go buy a coffin, and then hire someone to hire a car to converge."
"Yes!", Ah Xi responded, leaving with two servants.
"Dad, why is this? Dad, how can you be willing to leave Xiao Wu alone and live alone in this world, Dad......"
The sound of the small dance was like a cuckoo crying blood, and the sadness that moved the world made some onlookers wipe their tears.
"Hey, you're, the family of this drowning man?"
A leader with a knife on his shoulder, a greasy face, wearing a servant's robe, with two entourages, pushed away the crowd watching the excitement, and glanced at Xiao Wu, who was holding Zhen Guang's body and crying sadly.
When Zhou Jinnian saw it, he angrily shouted at the head of the officer, "You, have something to ask me."
When the head of the official saw Zhou Jinnian, who was dressed in a brocade robe and also angry, he immediately realized that this person was either rich or expensive, and it was not easy to provoke, so he immediately changed to a flattering face.
"Oh, this son, I want to ask, this man? is it the family of the deceased?"
"Yes!"
Ah Fu came in from outside the crowd and hurriedly interjected to lure the officials away.
"Oh, sir, I invited you...... Come and help with the salvage, let's talk about it."
"Huh, good, good."
Ah Fu took out a bag of money from his arms and gave it to the head of the officer, and then took out a bag of money and gave it to the four people who had surrounded him and were responsible for salvage.
"Official, several, you salvage...... It's all hard work, go have a glass of wine and warm up."
"Good...... Pull people away, you guys."
The head of the official took the money, weighed it twice, glanced at Zhou Jinnian, who had an extraordinary bearing, explained a few words, and left with others.
Zhou Jinnian was lazy to take care of these things, and was sad for Xiao Wu's sadness, squatting in front of her, and comforting: "Xiao ...... Dance, don't cry, you're ...... There are also injuries, if something happens to you, your father will really die blindly. Listen, you have to hold on, there are many things to deal with later, you have to deal with it yourself, the coffin and the people who collected the funeral have arrived, what are you going to do?".
Zhou Jinnian changed his past title, did not call Xiao Wu a little slave, and began to call Xiao Wu's name for the first time, and felt that it was very natural and kind.
Xiao Wu raised her tearful face and looked straight at Zhou Jinnian, "I think, will my father ...... sent back to his hometown for burial".
Zhou Jinnian pity the girl in front of her, from the time she sold herself, she had this feeling, she hit her a few days ago, the guilt in her heart was already self-ashamed, in the face of her huge sadness, Zhou Jinnian let go of arrogance and unruliness, and couldn't help but do what he could from the heart.
"Okay, then you get up, let them take care of your father, and I'll arrange for a carriage to take you back, and other things...... You don't have to worry about it, I'll help you...... Well arranged"
"Hmm"
Zhou Jinnian said, helping Xiao Wu, who was already crumbling.
The whole person was weakly half leaning on Zhou Jinnian's arm, Xiao Wu was in tears, his eyes were desperate and helpless, seeing his father being carried into a coffin on the carriage, and seeing his father's clothes being thrown out of the coffin one by one, the person in charge of the restraint changed his father into a shroud, and he was also put on a coarse linen mourning dress three or two.
"Let's go, I'll help you...... Get in the carriage"
Zhou Jinnian helped Xiao Wu, who was pale and floated under his feet, and got into a carriage.
"Let's go, don't be afraid, I'll send Ah Fu and the three of them...... Come with you, they will help bury your father, and you don't have to worry about anything but take care of yourself, money...... Least of a problem"
Zhou Jinnian lowered his eyebrows, paused, and spoke again, "I won't persuade people, but I still want to say, your father...... It's also a relief, so go early...... Early nursery, you should ...... Understand this principle, don't be too sad, you, you still have ...... I...... people".
Ah Fu and several servants looked at each other, and felt that the little marquis was simply like two people, he was not only considerate to this little slave, but also very gentle, they had only seen such a look from him to Miss Junwen.
Xiao Wu's tears welled up again, sobbing and nodding to Zhou Jinnian, Zhou Jinnian took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her, "It's not early, let's go on the road."
A Qingpeng carriage carried Xiao Wu, followed by a carriage with a coffin, and Ah Fu and three others who followed on horseback drove towards her hometown after nearly two years of absence.
