Inheritance policy

Chapter 71 Situation

The big funeral ceremony of the eldest lady Fang lasted for fifteen days, and when Empress Fang came, all the respectable foreign wives in Ding capital also came to pay respects.

When Princess Zhongning arrived, she hurriedly burned three sticks of incense, and left without leaving her meal.

But Ying Yi never showed up from the beginning to the end.

Similarly, He Yan did not show up, and will stay in Qincun Courtyard for several days. Even the funeral of the eldest lady will be presided over by the wife.

The date of the grand lady's burial was carefully calculated by the Qin Tianjian and brought over. It is suitable for traveling and the coffin should be buried in the ancestral grave of He's family in the western suburbs of Dingjing. The coffin was made of golden nanmu and a whole piece of white marble. The monument, the gold, silver, pearls and emeralds in the coffin are all on the body of the eldest lady, and there is a huge night pearl in her mouth.

Such ostentation is called wealth.

Xing Zhao only remembered that when he looked at the high and raised tomb of the eldest lady, there were no tears in his eyes, and he could only hear He Xingxiao's endless crying.

As soon as he got back to the mansion, Xing Zhao asked Lian Yu to call Man Er over before he had time to sit down.

During the funeral ceremony, people came and went, Xing Zhao endured it for fifteen days.

She stayed by the lady's side day and night, and there were only two times when she was out of sight. One was when the lady went to Xinzhong Hou Min's house alone, and the other was when He Yan used strong means to isolate her in the small courtyard. The latter mistake caused the eldest lady to die, so what kind of consequences did the former negligence cause?

I can only ask Man'er who went out with the eldest lady that day.

When Man'er came over, she was wearing a plain white jacket that could be washed, her small face was pale with fright, and she shrank tremblingly outside the door, not daring to come in. Lianyu pushed her behind, He said straight in his mouth: "What are you shaking, can the fourth girl eat you?"

Man'er was pushed, staggered and almost fell to the ground. When he looked up and saw Xing Zhao who was sitting above him with an expressionless face, he quickly lowered his head and kowtowed three times on the ground before trembling. Singing: "My servant Man'er greets the fourth girl, and the fourth girl has a long life and a healthy life, and the blessings will last forever!"

"Put away your face for the time being." Xing Zhao raised his chin, and He Ye came over with a tray, opened it and saw that there was an ingot of gold and a white silk inside, "That day when you went out with Da Furen, after all? Where did you go? To be honest, well said, not only to save a life, but also to get a reward."

The gold was shining brightly, but Man'er only saw a strip of white silk at a glance.

"Go to the letter." Man'er thought about it, trembling.

"The eldest lady didn't go to Min's house!" Xing Zhao interrupted his words in a low voice, beckoning to He Ye to come up: "Think about it! No matter how weak I am, your life can still be the decision!"

The lotus leaf is getting closer and closer, and Man'er's heart is pounding. Since the death of the eldest lady, she has suspected that it has something to do with that day's incident. She is also afraid that she will be sold to a brothel like Yingfen, and she is also afraid that Dongchuang's incident will be found out on her. , but with luck in her heart, Shuangfu said the matter of the eldest lady's death is right, if the next thing is also right, wouldn't she just live a good life, and a new wife will come and let her go straight up? !

But now being forced, if he said it, he would only blame a talkative person, but if he didn't say it, he would die immediately!

"The eldest lady went to Fumanji!" Man'er cried and hurriedly said, seeing that He Ye's steps stopped at the same place, she felt relieved, looked up at Xing Zhao's face, still reluctant, so she had to continue talking : "A few rascals in the market wrote a letter, saying that they have important letterheads about the uncle of the Fang family in their hands. If you don't want the Fang family to be wiped out, you should ask the eldest lady to go to Fumanji to discuss the matter."

Letterhead!

The letterhead that He Yan spilled on the ground that day!
Mother's frightened look when she saw the letter!

In an instant, Xing Zhao understood the ins and outs of the play, and he held his uncle's so-called trick in his hands, forcing his mother to die to save it!

Xing Zhao was so angry that his hands were trembling, he made a fool of his mother, turned his mother's weakness and innocence into a sharp sword, and stabbed herself backhand!

Man'er sat slumped on the ground, with her head down and tears streaming down her face: "The Da Furen asked me to report to Shuntian Mansion, so I went. When I went back, Da Furen was the only one in the wing room, and there were some scraps of paper on the ground. , were also burned by the eldest lady. The eldest lady did not let me say it. It really has nothing to do with the servants. I beg the fourth girl to learn! The servants also saw that the letter stuffed at the door was very serious. I made up my mind to give it to Da Furen, this servant made a mistake, and this servant will never dare again!"

As he spoke, he kowtowed heavily again.

Xing Zhao slumped on the back of the chair, staring straight at the vermilion lacquered window lattice carved with Bogu.

Before she had time to speak, a little maid called softly through the curtain: "Miss Si, Mrs. Tai invites you to the Rongshou Hall."

The corner of Xing Zhao's mouth twitched slightly, and he got up abruptly, without looking at Man'er who was kneeling on the ground, he ordered Lian Rong to look at Huai Shan Yuan, ". Arrest her. The main courtyard is now under the control of Madam Huang. I won’t embarrass us with this matter.” He then ordered He Ye, “Go to the main hall and ask for the prescription for the medicine that my mother took when she was dying, and ask for it secretly, and then go to the Huichun Hall in the west of the city to find the old doctor who was sitting in the hall that night. .”

After finishing speaking, he lifted the curtain and walked out.

There are still plain white lanterns and white silk drifting in the wind hanging in the veranda, Xing Zhao lowered his eyes, there is still a tough battle to be fought at this moment, any grief can only be turned into strength.

After his mother died, Mrs. Tai's weird silence made Xing Zhao feel desperate, and at the same time, an involuntary repulsion and defense arose.

After the mother died, the Fang family and the He family were completely on opposite sides.My surname is He, but the blood of the Fang family is also flowing on my body. I know the inside story of He Yan and Ying Yi, and also know the truth that my father forced my mother to death. Madam Tai can only treat this granddaughter with a kind of precaution. and alienated attitude.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Mrs. Tai's position has become very clear.

Nothing is more important than the He family and her own son. It is impossible for her to personally uncover the scandal of the He family's century-old family for the sake of a deceased daughter-in-law and a granddaughter, nor is it possible for her son to fall into the scandal of forcing his wife to commit suicide.

Today, Mrs. Tai has two attitudes, intimidation and temptation.

Xingzhao felt a sense of sadness in his heart, she was brought up by Mrs. Tai, her mother couldn't give her protection, Mrs. Tai gave her, her mother couldn't give her a sense of security, Mrs. Tai gave her.Mrs. Tai has always played a pivotal role in her life, but now she puts aside her emotions and rationally analyzes the results, which are shocking.

Thinking about things in my heart, the road seemed to be shortened, and I arrived at Rongshou Hall in a short while.

As usual, it was Rue Xiang who was guarding the door, and when she saw Xing Zhao coming over, she pursed her lips uncharacteristically, without warm greetings, she opened the curtain with one hand, and said softly: "The second lady and the third lady are leaving, only Mrs. Tai is inside. "

Xing Zhao nodded gratefully to her, lifted his skirt and walked inside.

Mrs. Tai was leaning on the cushion, wearing tortoiseshell glasses, holding something in her hand to watch. Seeing Xing Zhao approaching, she took off the glasses and put them on the small case beside her, beckoning to her: "Here we come Ah, come and sit here."

The tone is as usual, kind and gentle.

Xing Zhao's heart trembled, and he lowered his eyelids, instead of sitting on the edge of the couch as before, after saluting, he took a small stool and sat aside.

Mrs. Tai sighed in her heart, shook the crimson post in her hand, and said as usual: "The Huang family will marry a daughter-in-law on the eighth day of the next lunar month. The Huang family who arrived married the daughter of the Jin family, the commander of Quanzhou, offended the Marquis of Lin'an, and it was difficult for their family in Dingjing to find another good marriage, so they had to go to Fujian to find a marriage."

Xingzhao lowered his head to listen, Mrs. Tai couldn't possibly just want to express the meaning of the He family's power when she said such a speech.

Sure enough, I heard Mrs. Tai say later, "At first, the Huang family couldn't find a marriage, so Mrs. Huang came to me crying. A marriage has been made, Mrs. Huang was so happy, she said that she would come to kowtow to me. It's a pity that our family is now in Xiaozhong, but we can't go."

Xing Zhao listened quietly, and after Mrs. Tai finished speaking, she already understood the meaning of these words: "Grandmother is teaching Ah Wu to stay on the front line in everything. Although the Huang family has offended our family, you are still kind. I found a good marriage for them, and I was afraid that the rabbit would bite someone in a hurry."

There was a slight pause at this point, and I couldn't continue. My heart was as cold as ice in a summer building, and as angry as a fire burning in a warm pavilion in winter. If the fear on the road was just speculation, But now it has become a reality, and when she looked up, she saw Zhang's mother looking into the room through the window lattice, her expression was anxious.

"Leave a thread in everything, and try to be lenient in everything, so that we can form good karma and meet each other." Mrs. Tai looked directly into Xingzhao's eyes, trying to see the clues from it, and said, "I know your personality, it seems soft But there is a sense of stubbornness in it. There is no fault in life, Ah Wu, you are a child, Lord Hou is not only your biological father, but also the pillar of our family, think about the principle of keeping a line in everything."

This is to persuade her not to get entangled in this matter!
Xing Zhao was shaking with anger. Mrs. Tai was someone she had always admired, and she was the one who raised her up. When there was wind and rain, Mrs. Tai was always standing in front of her. It was such a person who came forward to persuade her to forget her. The strange cause of death of his biological mother!
"Ah Wu knows." There was a trace of sadness in Xing Zhao's eyes, and his heart was overwhelmed, but on his face he only thought about his dead mother: "Take ten thousand steps back and say, what can I do if Ah Wu doesn't do anything well? My mother has passed away. Passed away." Xing Zhao paused, stabilized his mind, and said with difficulty: "Mother has passed away, and those who are still alive should live well, otherwise there will be no peace under the mother's spring."

At the end of the sentence, every word.

The Buddha beads in Mrs. Tai's hand stopped spinning, and she breathed a sigh of relief as if she was relieved from a heavy burden. Looking at the little granddaughter's mournful eyebrows and eyes, her heart softened, and she waved to Zhang's mother who was guarding outside the window, and called out: "Go!" Let’s cook a bowl of pearl brown rice soup! It’s both soothing and good for sleep!”

Zhang's mother was overjoyed, she complied with the promise, and walked outside quickly.

Xing Zhao lowered his head, hiding the emotion in his eyes.

The grandparents and grandchildren had a perfect understanding, and no one mentioned Fang's death. After lunch, Mrs. Tai took Xing Zhao's hand and said in a gentle voice: "Mr. At that time, our family will have a meal together. Grandma is old, and I hope the family can be peaceful, and my children and grandchildren will be promising, and I don’t want to think about anything else.”

Xing Zhao concealed all his thoughts and only nodded slightly.

After returning to Huaishan Garden, Lian Rong came out to greet her with red eyes. Xing Zhao suppressed his doubts and walked quickly to the inner room. At this time, Lian Rong cried and whispered to Xing Zhao: "...will come in the future They hired a few strong mothers, and pushed all of us in Huaishanyuan to sit in the yard, saying that they were going to sell us all out. I don’t know what happened afterwards, but there was another woman Come over and whisper a few words before letting us go."

Xing Zhao pursed his lips tightly, only then did he realize that Mrs. Tai was testing her.
