Chapter 105 Death
Going back with the dagger, Chu Lingyue didn't see Xiao Yu.I heard from Cheng's mother that Xiao Yu didn't come over all day today.

"Didn't you come?" Chu Lingyue was a little surprised. Xiao Yu would come to Linglong Courtyard if he could not be shaken. Even if he was not there, Cheng's mother or Xiang'er would settle him down. I have never seen him not come here for a day.

"Yes, I haven't seen him all day." Cheng's mother was also a little surprised. The child is usually very good, and she likes it when she looks at him, so she must pay more attention to it.As a result, the child didn't come today, and he didn't care if he was sick, but the lady asked, so she should find someone to ask.

"Miss, find someone to ask. If you have news, you can feel more at ease."

"Let Mei Xiang go, and take some pastries from the room to her parents by the way." Chu Lingyue waved her hand indifferently and asked Mei Xiang to take a look.Today, the kitchen has newly made glazed pear tea. The spring is getting warmer and the weather is a bit dry.A few days ago, I heard Mei Xiang say that her mother has been coughing all the time these days, and this glazed pear tea is the most nourishing and nourishing to the lungs. Let her take some for her mother, so that she won't worry about it all the time.

"Hey, I'll go and put it on now." Cheng's mother took the order, Mei Xiang also saluted and followed out, and Lan Xi came up to serve her dinner.

While I was eating, I heard someone outside crying and passing by.Chu Lingyue frowned, and glanced outside the door. Lan Xi went out knowingly to take a look, and came back to answer.

"Miss Hui, this is Cui'er from the Liuli Courtyard. When lighting the fire, he accidentally overheated the kang. Second Miss and Aunt Sun dragged her to Madam's room to punish her in a fit of anger."

"The temper in Liuliyuan is getting bigger and bigger." Chu Lingyue took a few mouthfuls of food calmly, then put down the bowl and chopsticks, "Go and tell Xiang'er, it's not a big deal, don't worry about it too much." Worry."

After Lan Xi went out, Chu Lingyue also put down the dishes.Cui'er secretly told Chu Lingyue a lot of things at the beginning, but Sun Qionghe and Lu Mingmei just randomly found a punching bag for what happened today, so they probably won't find out that Cui'er and her quietly passed on the news Son.

Ever since Shen Bixiang took charge of the family, Sun Qionghe's temper has grown stronger day by day, and from time to time he made troubles in the Kunwu courtyard.On the surface, it was because she was treated badly, but in fact, it was just because she wanted to make trouble.

Fortunately, Shen Bixiang was not a soft persimmon, even if Sun Qionghe made troubles three times a day, he couldn't get any advantage.

Before Lan Xi came back, Mei Xiang came back first.First expressed his thanks for Sigui's family, and then told Chu Lingyue about Xiaoyu.

"Miss, don't worry, Xiao Yu is not sick, but Du's condition is not very good."

Chu Lingyue paused while drinking tea, put the teacup aside, and asked suspiciously: "Du Shi? What's wrong with Du Shi?"

Mama Du just came to Linglong Courtyard a few days ago, and she didn't talk about her sister-in-law, but she felt a little bad when she heard it suddenly.

If it wasn't a major event, Xiao Yu wouldn't stay in Linglong Courtyard all day long.

"After the new year, Du's health has not been very good. Du's mother quietly asked the doctor to take a look, saying that it is an old disease, and I am afraid that it will not last for a few days. But it was the Chinese New Year at that time, and it would be too bad luck if someone died. , So, Mother Du didn't report it. She is still alive now, but she is hanging on her breath, and she is neither human nor ghost."

As Mei Xiang spoke, her voice dropped.Just now when she passed by, she saw Xiaoyu lying on her stomach next to Mrs. Du. She was obviously very worried, but the child just didn't shed a single tear.

Everyone has their own destiny, Chu Lingyue sighed and looked out the window in a daze.

At the beginning, in order to punish Sun Qionghe, she got their mother and son to the capital. After staying in the capital for a year, this happened. Anyway, she felt very sorry.

If Mrs. Du stayed in his hometown well, would the situation be different?

No, if Mrs. Du stayed in her hometown, she would never have the chance to avenge her husband's wrongdoing, and Xiao Yu would never have the chance to enter the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and could only become a wild child in the countryside.As for Du Shi, if it is destined to disappear this year, Xiaoyu's life will be even more miserable.

Sighing, Chu Lingyue withdrew her gaze and said, "Bring me my cloak, let's go and see Mrs. Du."

"This..." Mei Xiang hesitated, there had never been such a rule in the mansion.Mrs. Du is just a rough envoy, she has never served Chu Lingyue for a day, and now she is about to die, if Chu Lingyue just goes to see her like this, will she be offended?

"I'm also Xiaoyu's half-master. He has been studying with me since he came to Weiyuan Hou Mansion. If his mother is really gone today, I'll go and have a look. It's also being cleaned up." Moving, Chu Lingyue eloquently explained, and finally made sense of her.

"Hey, I'll go right away." Mei Xiang turned to the inner room, picked up the red cloak on the screen, thought for a while, and then replaced it with a white fox fur cloak.

Chu Lingyue put it on, told Mei Xiang to take the lantern, and the two of them went out quietly.Then the night fell, and the two hurried to Mama Du's room, but before they entered the door, they heard Xiaoyu crying loudly.

"mother!"

Chu Lingyue and Mei Xiang looked at each other, but after a while, feeling bad, they quickly opened the door and walked in.But after a few steps, he was pushed out.

"Miss, please move outside, don't get caught in bad luck." Mama Du was always in front of her, but now that no one was there, she sighed, wiped her tears, and saw Chu Lingyue when she looked up.

Fearing that she might make a mistake, he suppressed the grief in his heart and sent her out.

"Mother Du, this..." Chu Lingyue was also a little shocked, but after a while, people disappeared like that?

"Miss's wish, we accept it. Sister-in-law, she has been suffering from an old illness for not a day or two, but now that she is gone, it is considered early bliss." Madam Du suppressed the expression on her face, under the moonlight, she couldn't see clearly Whether she is sad or happy.Chu Lingyue sighed, turned and left.

But instead of going back to Linglong Courtyard, he went to Kunwu Courtyard.

Shen Bixiang had just sent Sun Qionghe back, and when she saw Chu Lingyue coming in with a sad face, she pulled her over and asked, "What's the matter? Why did you come here like this?"

"Auntie, Mrs. Du is gone." Chu Lingyue sighed, and buried her head on Shen Bixiang's shoulder, feeling a bit sleepy.

Shen Bixiang pulled her to sit down, and asked in disbelief: "Mother Du still talks to me during the day, why are you just now..."

"It's not Mama Du, it's Mama Du's sister-in-law." Shen Bixiang hasn't been in charge of the house for long, and it's not uncommon for Du Shi to not be able to react for a while.

"Auntie, do you still remember the child you saw on New Year's Eve? It's his mother."

When Chu Lingyue mentioned it, Shen Bixiang thought about it, frowned, sighed, and ordered the maid to call the butler, "After all, they are from the mansion. During the first month, the coffin can't be built, but we still have to buy it." Let’s bury him in a thin coffin.”

"Well, auntie can make arrangements." Chu Lingyue was still a little listless, Shen Bixiang looked at her distressed, and pulled her to ask in a low voice.

"Are you worried about Xiaoyu?"

She lost her mother when she was young, Xiaoyu was nine years old this year, and Chu Lingyue also lost her mother at about the same age. Children without parents are miserable, that's why she is so unhappy.Sure enough, Chu Lingyue nodded, confirming Shen Bixiang's guess.

"It doesn't matter, the mansion will keep him. Although he can't do much, let him study with you first, and when he grows up, it's good to let your uncle take him by his side to be a book boy or something."

When Shen Bixiang opened his mouth, Chu Lingyue naturally would not refuse.It's a good thing that this child can follow Chu Tengyun's side.Seeing that Chu Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief, Shen Bixiang was also happy, and nodded her nose and said, "You don't look for aunt for such a trivial matter, so it's better if aunt doesn't take you with you in the future."

"Aren't you afraid of causing trouble for your aunt?" Chu Lingyue smiled, pulled Shen Bixiang to talk for a while, and then returned to Linglong Courtyard.

Mrs. Du is a servant, so naturally she can't do anything wantonly. With Shen Bixiang at the helm, a coffin was properly arranged in the mansion, and someone was found in the suburbs to pick a coffin for the burial.Since Mrs. Du left, Xiao Yu has become more and more attached to Chu Lingyue.Come to Linglong Courtyard every morning, practice handwriting with a book in Chu Lingyue's study, practice the moves taught by Ye Xuan in the yard when tired, and learn some new moves when Chu Lingyue and Ye Xuan come back together in the afternoon .

Seeing his strict look, Ye Xuan kept feeling that he was the right apprentice, with such hard work and hard work, he will surely become a master in the future.

Chu Lingyue shook her head, feeling that the child was a little too wronged.Ever since Mrs. Du left, he hasn't shed a single tear, holding his breath in his heart, doing this and that every day, never letting himself relax.She was afraid that something would happen if the child pushed herself too hard.

"It's okay, it's called turning grief and anger into motivation." Ye Xuan poked Chu Lingyue, pointed at Xiao Yu who was moving around in the martial arts arena, and said, "Look, he looks more and more like that now .This kid is not the smartest, nor is he the first to start martial arts, but he is the most solid kungfu I have ever seen at this age."

"Yeah, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing." In the end, Chu Lingyue sighed, stopped talking, then looked at Ye Xuan and said with a smile, "I see that you have a lot of leisure recently, and the third prince hasn't pestered you anymore. Bar."

"Well, it is said that he went to the East China Sea to look for pearls, so I was really quiet." Ye Xuan nodded, suddenly remembered something and smiled: "Hahaha, do you believe it, His Royal Highness, the palace There is not a single decent pearl in it, so I have to go to the East China Sea to find it myself.”

Chu Lingyue also laughed a little. The third prince is not favored, and without the support of his concubine mother, it is not surprising that he is poor. This is why she suggested Ye Xuan to ask for pearls.

"Hey, Murong Jing..."

"Well, my cousin will be in Dongjiang in the past two days." Hearing Chu Lingyue talk about Murong Jing, Ye Xuan preempted others with empathy and told what Chu Lingyue wanted to ask.
