Chapter 3 Filial Piety
Lian Sheng was wearing a suit of armor, and he didn't even have time to take off his helmet. Holding the pitch-black coffin with one hand, he stared at the spirit tablet illuminated by the white candle, and stood there for a long time.

"Rong'er..."

This sound was like a sigh, with some trembling, as if firmly restraining the despair in his heart.

The tears in Lian Jin's eyes suddenly couldn't hold back.

The lanterns in the mansion were lit one by one, and then a crowd of people poured into the mourning hall. Even Jin didn't need to look up to know that it was Shen Shulian who brought Lian Qinru.

Lian Qinru.Thinking of these three words, hatred flashed across Lian Jin's eyes.

Perhaps because she didn't expect the general to arrive at the third watch, Shen Shulian still had some lingering drowsiness in her eyes, but she still squeezed out a sad look, walked to her husband and said considerately: "Yuerong, her illness is very serious. Urgent, I have invited the best doctor, but I am still unable to recover... Alas, General, my condolences."

"She... died of illness?"

Shen Shulian hummed, and sobbed softly.

Lian Jin remembered that Shen Shulian was the daughter of the Taifu, she was proficient in poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she always put on airs and looked like a dignified mistress.She sneered in her heart and sniffed sharply. Those people seemed to have just noticed her, and immediately a pair of hands came over and stroked her shoulders, like a small animal.

Lian Qinru squatted beside her, and said in a gentle voice: "Sister, sister knows you are sad, so don't be too sad and hurt your body."

The numbness of Lian Jin's face was hidden in the shadows.

Lian Sheng in front of him turned around, his eyes were slightly red.He is a generation of famous generals, it is absolutely impossible for him to cry in front of others.

His gentle hand patted Lian Jin's shoulder.Turning around, he saw a bowl of noodles next to Lian Jin. The soup had dried up, but the noodles hadn't moved.

Lian Sheng said: "Jin'er, I heard that you went out early in the morning, haven't you eaten yet?"

Lian Jin stretched out his sleeve and wiped away the tears on his face, nodded and said, "Jin'er has no appetite."

In a blink of an eye, he saw Xiao Tao's slightly panicked face.

She said apologetically, "It's Jin'er's fault. Xiaotao made this noodle on purpose, so I should eat two bites, but I haven't eaten for a day, and this noodle...is rotten. Jin'er really can't eat it."

She seemed to have just noticed Xiaotao's pale face, and hurriedly raised her head and said to Lian Sheng: "Father, I was wrong, this side is fine, I..."

The winning streak has already passed the noodle bowl.Lifting the bowl to his nose and smelling it, he waved his hand violently, and the noodle bowl fell under Xiaotao's feet, together with the spilled noodles and noodles, all in a mess.

Xiaotao knelt down with a plop in fright.

Chapter 4

The winning streak turned black.These years, he was negligent, and he thought that Dong Yuerong was good at martial arts, so he would definitely not be bullied in this mansion, so he wholeheartedly took his daughter and trained her in various martial arts.Never thought that right under my nose, right above Dong Yuerong's mourning hall, there are already servants in this family who dare to bully their master!
Xiaotao's face turned pale with fright, she begged for mercy and kowtowed, repeating: "It's the servant's negligence", and kowtowed until her forehead turned red.

Nanny Zhong at the side was a smart person, seeing the general's unkind expression, she knew that she couldn't be fooled by this matter, so she took a step forward and slapped Xiao Tao across the face, until her face was turned away.

"Stupid slave, you can't even do this little thing well, have you forgotten the rules that I taught you every day? Second Miss is also something you can neglect?"

As she said that, she slapped her face twice again, until Xiaotao burst into tears, begging for mercy.

Lian Jin looked at it coldly, it seemed that this bowl of noodles seemed to be Xiaotao's own initiative, and she wanted to give her a blow.Slightly relieved her hatred, seeing Lian Sheng's gloomy face, she pulled Lian Sheng's sleeves and said in a hoarse voice: "Father, this is my mother's mourning hall. Besides, it's hot and it's normal for the pasta to be rotten. Father, don't pursue it." .”

Lian Sheng turned his head and glanced at Dong Yuerong's spiritual seat, and couldn't help feeling sad again.

His own daughter, he knew very well.There is no such thing as a crooked intestine, and he is no different from a man in the army on weekdays. He has suffered and endured pain, but has he ever shed tears?Right now, his voice is hoarse from crying.Seeing her heartbroken and tolerant look, I can't help feeling distressed and guilty.He said in a deep voice: "Don't pollute Madam's mourning hall, drag it down."

With this sentence Madam, Shen Shulian's face turned pale.

As we all know, in the huge general's mansion, she is the only one worthy of the word "Madam". As for Dong Yuerong, no one dares to call "Second Madam"!But she thought about it again, why bother with a dead man?
Lian Jin looked coldly at the change of expression on Shen Shulian's face. In her previous life, she never paid attention to these details, but after living a lifetime, and fighting with Lian Qinru in the harem for a lifetime, how could she ignore it again?Seeing that Shen Shulian quickly suppressed her anger, she knew that she had put the blame on herself.At the moment, he taunted himself in his heart, such scheming, the self in the previous life didn't notice anything, it really was a waste of life.

Xiaotao was already crying and dragged down, Shen Shulian restrained herself and said a few words of persuasion, she managed to coax Lian Sheng to eat first, but Lian Sheng couldn't hold back Lian Jin's determination to guard the spirit, so she had to order the cook to make some delicate meals and bring them over later.

From the beginning to the end, Lian Qinru squatted beside Lian Jin, softly persuading her.

At this moment, she also walked to the back hall with her father, and turned around every step of the way, feeling very worried.

Lian Jin looked at their backs and smiled coldly.

This night, all is well.

It was already two days since Dong Yuerong passed away.It took three days to wake up, and one day had already been missed. Lian Jin knelt in the mourning hall all night and day after day, no matter how Lian Sheng tried to persuade him, it was useless.On the night of the third day, she was kneeling in the hall when footsteps approached outside.

Her eyelids trembled slightly, it was Lian Qinru.

In her previous life, because of her status as a concubine and Shen Shulian's prestige, she was always unwelcome in the mansion.And Lian Qinru is the concubine's daughter of the high-ranking general's mansion, and the granddaughter of the current Tai Tuo, so it can be said that she is completely different from her.She stayed in the army all year round, so when they were in the mansion, the two of them had little contact with each other.

She didn't turn her head, but heard a soft voice saying: "Sister, you rushed back non-stop and knelt for another day and night, even your body made of iron can't take it anymore. Let me watch the night tonight, right and left Erniang is also my elder, so I should replace you."

Lian Jin raised his eyebrows slightly, a little surprised that she would act like this.

Lian Qinru looks very similar to her, except that she is a bit more heroic, and her brows are a little tougher, but Lian Qinru is different, from head to toe, she is gentle and gentle, exactly like her mother Everyone temperament.

If she hadn't experienced that life, she would have been moved to tears by Lian Qinru's gentle treatment at this moment.After all, in this mansion, apart from her parents, she never felt any warmth.But now, after thinking about it, I understand that tonight is the last night of vigil. It is rumored that within three days, the dead souls will go home to have a last look.
