After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 143 Prince Xinling
The soldier who brought the news had a white cloth tied on his arm, and his face, which was covered with wind and sand, had two winding marks left by his tears.

Rong Peilan fell to the ground with a pale face.

Haitang immediately helped her up, "Young Madam!"

The soldier wiped the tears from his face and said in a hoarse voice, "Young Madam, please receive the spirit."

Rong Peilan, dressed in white mourning clothes, led the people from the house towards the city gate.

The common people were shocked to see her in white mourning clothes. This was General Ji's daughter-in-law, and she was wearing white, but, but the general...

When the people heard the news, they spontaneously went to the city gate.

The city gate slowly opened, and handfuls of white paper money floated in.

When the two soldiers holding soul flags stepped into Yanhui City, they seemed unable to hold back their sadness any longer.

A sad sob was heard quietly.

Dozens of soldiers carried Ji Zhenming's coffin slowly forward, and the coffin was covered with the flag of the Ji family army.

There was a big word "Ji" written on the front of the coffin.

"Great General!!"

A mournful cry erupted from the crowd.

The people in the city felt heartbroken and knelt down one after another. General Ji, who once protected them from the outside world, was dead!
"General!"

"General!!"

The moment she saw the coffin, Rong Peilan suddenly seemed to be able to hear what her father-in-law said to her with a smile.

——"Child, you are you, and you will always be the daughter-in-law of our Ji family."

She looked pale as she watched Qin Anjiang walk towards her step by step.

His eyes were bloodshot and his lips were cracked as he handed her Ji Zhenming's helmet.

"The prince is still in a coma, please let Madam lead the way."

Rong Peilan looked at the helmet that was worn to a shine. This helmet had been with Ji Zhenming for more than twenty years, and had witnessed General Ji's half-life of guarding the country through bloody battles.

She stretched out her trembling hands and slowly took the helmet.

At this moment, I couldn't hold it back any longer, and my tears fell like beads from a broken string.

Drops of rain hit the helmet.

Qin Anjiang couldn't bear it any longer, turned his face away, and spoke in a hoarse voice with a cry tone.

"Please Madam, lead the way. It's time for the general to go back."

A handful of paper money scattered above Rong Peilan's head, then swirled and slowly fell down.

Qin Anjiang wiped the tears from his face and growled hoarsely.

"The general is back home!!!"

The sad voice echoed throughout the long street of Yanhui Mansion.

Rong Peilan held the helmet in both hands and walked forward step by step with heavy steps.

There were crying voices behind me, and it seemed that the whole world was filled with sadness.

General Ji is not only a local general, he has been stationed in Yanhui for more than 20 years and he has become a god in Yanhui.

General Cheng stood at the door of the small house, looking at the funeral procession coming from afar, and he knelt down immediately.

His hair was already half white, but he cried as sadly as a child.

"General, you said you would take me to Yanjing to drink the pear blossom wine you buried, but you left without even saying hello. Who will take me to drink pear blossom wine again?"

He and General Ji have worked together for more than 20 years, and the two have almost become brothers.

He was different from General Ji. He was just a soldier in the kitchen at the beginning.

By chance he saw the general practicing martial arts, and from then on he would often peek at him.

During a martial arts competition, he defeated the general's follower.

The general did not despise him because he was a poor boy born in the kitchen. He not only promoted him but also personally took him with him.

He followed the footsteps of the great general and reached his current position of General Shunwei step by step.

He is an illiterate farmer, but he is where he is today thanks to the general.

——Imperial city.

Meng Xuanyi held the memorial, which was still stained with blood, in both hands.

Everything in front of me is blurry.

Eunuch Gao looked at the sad-looking Majesty and said carefully, "Your Majesty, the death has not yet been reported to the Xinling Marquis's Mansion."

Meng Xuanyi slowly raised his head, blinked, and wiped away the tears in his eyes.

He took a deep breath. "The Ji family has gone through three dynasties for two generations. Marquis Ji was posthumously named Prince of Xinling County, and his wife, Mrs. Zhong, was named Lady Protector of the Country, with a fief of 2,000 households."

"His son Ji Yunzhang was promoted to inherit the title of Prince of Xinling, and his daughter-in-law Rong was granted the title of first-rank imperial edict."

Eunuch Gao nodded solemnly, "I will ask the Lord to draft the decree."

A group of people came out of the imperial city in a grand manner, carrying dozens of loads of gifts, but the flowers wrapped around them were not red flowers, but white flowers!
Whose family gave me the reward of making white flowers?

They had never seen anything like it before and were all shocked.

The group headed straight to Xinlinghou Mansion.

After receiving the news, Zhong stumbled to the door, only to see the leading eunuch dressed in white, holding a soul flag in his hand, and the letter of mourning that had been urgently sent from the border eight hundred miles away.

"Mourning! Xinling Marquis Ji Zhenming!"

When Mrs. Zhong heard the word "sorrow", her eyes rolled back and she fainted on the ground.

Uncle Ji and Uncle Ji San, who arrived later, also turned pale and almost fell down.

Ji Zhenming is not only the god of the geese returning to the border, but also the god of the Ji family.

Qingtan and Chenchun helped Zhong up.

Eunuch Gao looked at the only women and children left in the family and could only sigh secretly.

He slowly unfolded the imperial edict and read it.

The people watching finally understood why the gift was tied with a white flower.

It was the first time since the founding of a country that a prince of a county had a different surname. General Ji had brought honor to his family by using his military merits.

Uncle Ji's step-wife, Zhao, was kneeling on the ground. When she heard that Ji Yunzhang had inherited the title of Prince, her eyes lit up.

Rong Peilan was captured, and even if he was granted an imperial decree, it was only for the sake of the Marquis's face.

In the future it will just be a face in the mansion.

If her niece Yan Lin could catch Ji Yunzhang's eye and give birth to two more children, she would have no worries about not being able to hold her head up high in this mansion in the future.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't have a child, her niece can give birth to Ji Yunzhang's son! It won't be too late to plan for the position of the prince!
Several maids hurriedly pinched her Ren Zhong's philtrum before she slowly woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the soul flag floating slowly in the wind, and tears immediately fell like rain.

It seemed that she could see Ji Zhenming waving at her.

"Ji Zhenming, you made me wait my whole life, and this is what you gave me?!"

Zhong's lips trembled, "You clearly said you would come back at the end of the year."

"Is this how you came back?!"

Everyone in front of Ji's house couldn't help but have tears in their eyes.

Uncle Ji suddenly remembered that Ji Yunzhang was still in prison, and asked hurriedly, "Father-in-law, my nephew is still in prison..."

Eunuch Gao shook his head and said, "The prince is not in prison. He has already gone to the border under the secret order of His Majesty."

"Your Majesty, he..."

He glanced at Zhong, who had a sad face, and couldn't bear to tell the truth.

"The prince was ambushed and has been in a coma ever since."

This time, Zhong completely fainted.

One died in battle, the other was in a coma.

Uncle Ji couldn't help but look back at Qi'an and Sui'an, who were only a few months old.

My mind slowly became active...
