Chapter 501 Funeral (Part [-])
Huo Tiankang looked straight at Lu Shuyi, and Lu Shuyi didn't avoid it, just let him look.

Under the sparse shadows, the woman's face was as clear and calm as a painting, but there was a cold, bone-piercing coldness hidden in her eyes.

Huo Tiankang was in a trance for a moment, but when he realized it, he said coldly: "Since the brothers and sisters have already said that the corpse should not stay forever, what should you do? Don't you already have a plan in mind? Do you still need to ask for my opinion?" The words were full of jokes, and he said again: "Sisters and brothers don't need to do anything."

Lu Shuyi was annoyed in her heart, but she didn't say anything, and said as usual: "Now that my father is away, it is reasonable for the mother and concubine to decide the affairs of the inner house. But the elder brother and the elder sister-in-law are deeply in love with each other, so it is natural for the eldest brother to decide whether the elder sister-in-law's body will go or not. How dare you speak up."

The four words "deep love between husband and wife" are really ironic, and Huo Tiankang's heart hurts from being poked by these four words.

The veins on his forehead were throbbing.

Lu Shuyi was expressionless, she just looked at him and said: "Mother and concubine have been working hard for my sister-in-law's illness these few days, and spent a lot of money to find a doctor, and ordered people to burn moxa, spray wine and smoked vinegar stones every day, and deal with it. The common affairs in the mansion are so hard, so many people in the whole mansion can see with their eyes..."

Huo Tiankang could hear what Lu Shuyi meant, and he snorted coldly and said, "Are younger brothers and sisters accusing me?"

"Don't dare." Lu Shuyi glanced at him, and was too lazy to say another word to him. She just supported the princess and said, "Mother, I will help you go back to rest. There is a big brother here, I believe he will be able to handle it properly."

What she said was very clever, and Huo Tiankang couldn't deal with it even if he didn't want to.

The princess nodded slightly, and the two helped each other out of the study.

When they arrived at the door of the study, Lu Shuyi did not forget to say loudly to everyone: "If you have anything to do here, you can directly go to the prince. The princess is too sad and unwell because of the incident with the prince. Go back and rest first. The prince is in charge."

Huo Tiankang secretly gritted his teeth in hatred.

But such a brilliant and brilliant woman is not his...

However, the matter was urgent, and he had to deal with it, so he could only appease Zhou's emotions in person, and ordered someone to lay flower beds and prepare to burn the corpse.

The princess and Lu Shuyi supported each other halfway, and Lu Shuyi asked the princess in a low voice: "Brother, how did he treat you? Did you get hurt?"

The shoulder grabbed by Huo Tiankang was still aching, the princess reluctantly shook her head and said: "It's okay, he doesn't dare to do anything to me." Then she whispered: "It's you, you must be more careful in the future, I will Order someone to watch over you day and night until Yuer comes back."

Lu Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief, put her hands together and said, "I'm really afraid that he will attack you."

The concubine squeezed her hand lightly, feeling that her performance just now was great, so she smiled and said: "In the future, I am completely relieved to have you by your side, you are stronger than when I was young, and you will surely succeed in the future." Zhu Yuer..."

Lu Shuyi just smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "This time the matter is done in a thorough manner, even if the father-in-law returns from the battle, he will not find any clues, and the He family is watching every day, so it can be regarded as an explanation to the Queen Mother."

The concubine let out a long breath, "He Ruyi has always harbored evil intentions, and if you get rid of her, you will be less dangerous, but I don't know if the emperor will give Kang'er another marriage..." She frowned, feeling a little worried.

Lord Huo's military achievements are too great, which one will have a good end since ancient times?
However, Lu Shuyi knew that it was impossible for Huo Tiankang to get another marriage from the emperor, so she said lightly: "I don't think so..."

"I wish..."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went back to the princess' bedroom. After a while, the princess couldn't get out of illness. Huo Tiankang took care of everything alone, and Lu Shuyi assisted symbolically.

At the beginning, the Zhou family did not agree to burn the corpses, but the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty were like this. Not to mention a concubine, even a concubine in the harem died of an epidemic, the corpses should be burned, and the things used in daily life should be burned, and the ashes should be buried deep in the ground .

The law cannot be abolished, and the Zhou family has no choice but to cry bitterly in grief.

Breaking flower beds, burning corpses, burning all the things He Ruyi had used, beating all the vinegar stones in his dormitory, and sprinkling spirits to get rid of the disease, he spent the whole afternoon doing these things.

In the evening, He Ruyi's ashes were put into the sapphire stone altar, and Huo Tiankang began to prepare for the funeral.

On the matter of whether the funeral should be done in a big way or in a simple way, Huo Tiankang and the Zhou family disagreed, and they had a dispute.

Huo Tiankang believes that during the Huo family's war, everything in the funeral should be kept simple, and he doesn't want to make a big deal.

In fact, he himself did not want to make a big deal. After all, He Ruyi died of the epidemic. In fact, many people are very taboo about this disease. If it is a big deal, they will have to come. He had to give face, but he was forced to come here.

He didn't want to do such a shameless thing.

But the Zhou family felt that they were going to collapse, their daughter didn't even have a body when she died, and the funeral had to be kept simple, where would the He family's face go?
The two had a quarrel because of this, Zhou's eyes were red and swollen, he slapped the sandalwood table, choked up and said: "My daughter has only been married to your He family for half a year, but she suddenly disappeared. How sad it is to be a mother..." said a line of tears streaming down.

Ouyang hurriedly handed her a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said in a low voice, "Take care, mother."

Mrs. Zhou glared at her, took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears, and said to Huo Tiankang: "My daughter is one of my own blessings. She is gone, so I can't blame you. It's just that the funeral must be a big deal. If it's not a big deal, how about it?" Can she comfort her spirit in heaven? My Jiao Didi has raised her daughter for more than ten years, just like this... Just like this, she was buried in silence, no, absolutely no, what kind of person does this take her for?"

Zhou's attitude is very firm and must be done.

Huo Tiankang was a little irritable, and frowned at Mrs. Zhou: "It's not that I don't want to do something big, it's just that my father is away fighting now..."

"Don't talk about it, I understand the truth." Zhou raised her hand to interrupt Huo Tiankang's words, and said coldly: "I only have this one daughter. She was never wronged when she was alive, and now she is gone... How can I be willing to let her be wronged?" With a firm tone, he said: "If you don't want to make a big deal, I will go to the Queen Mother and her old man."

Lu Shuyi only listened from one side, without saying a word.

For her, whether it is a big deal or not, it has nothing to do with her, and she doesn't want to interfere in this matter.

However, Mrs. Hu didn't let her go, with an attitude of not being afraid of the height of the stage when watching a play, she stared at her and said, "Princess, do you think it should be a big deal?"

All eyes immediately focused on Lu Shuyi's face.

Lu Shuyi pretended to be sad, but thought a lot in her heart, and then said in a low voice: "My sister-in-law asked me about this, and I don't know how to answer you."

Hu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

Lu Shuyi didn't say much, she just said: "If I say keep everything simple, my sister-in-law will definitely think that I have bad intentions, but if I say make a big deal, I don't think it's appropriate given the current situation."

Huo Tiankang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Lu Shuyi to stand with him at this moment.
