Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Wang Jialuan died of "heart palpitations" that night.

Wang Ziteng and Yu Shi saw their son die, and both fell ill the next day. All the household affairs, both internal and external, were handed over to the aunt Jia Wang and the eldest son of the family to take care of together.

Although the old friends who came to pay their respects had their doubts in their hearts, they just sighed and expressed comfort without saying a single word.

Didn't you see that the eunuch sent by Wang Chenghui the day before yesterday had bad intentions, and the Crown Prince Cheng Yi who came later slapped him in the face? !

The fact that they can still stay in the Wang family to help hold up the situation at this time is already because of their generations of friendship!

However, three days later, the situation outside had become so chaotic that Wang Li could not help it and knelt down in front of Wang Ziteng's bed and cried to report everything.

Wang Ziteng had no choice but to struggle to get up, let his eldest son go back to the mourning hall to kneel and cry, and took charge of external affairs himself; then he "invited" his eldest sister to return to the Jia Mansion to "rest for a while", and directly let Wang Li help his aunt to manage the inner house.

As for entertaining the wives of the various families, it was entrusted to the deceased old lady Chen's family and Yu's family.

I don’t know whether it was because the Wang family’s fence was too strong or the women in the Chen family pretended to be deaf and dumb, but the "rumor" that Wang Jialuan poisoned her grandmother was never leaked out at all and was quietly and forgotten.

Only Zhou Rui's wife, after returning to the Jia Mansion, somehow got an upset stomach, vomiting and diarrhea, and finally bloody stools. Her family suspected that she had dysentery.

But before we could get a decent doctor to see him, in just two days, the man was killed.

This was the companion who had accompanied Jia Wangshi for decades. They could almost be said to have grown up together and had a very deep relationship.

Jia Wangshi hurried back from the Wang family, and the master and servant did not see each other for the last time.

The master cried bitterly, rewarded the servant's family with two hundred taels of silver, and allowed them to return to Nanjing for burial in their own ancestral tomb. He also specially assigned the father and son to work in his own dowry farm in Nanjing. From then on, there was no such person as Zhou in the Jia family in the capital, and they were not mentioned anymore.

The news of Wang Jialuan's "death" spread to the East Hall of Yi Qiu.

Wang Xifeng was silent for a while as she listened to the "official" information passed in through the palace channels and the truth reported by the night owl Xiaoliu.

In the evening, Wu Jin came.

Wang Xifeng couldn't sleep and was sitting on the bed in boredom.

The parrot stood on the stand with its beak tightly closed.

The cat is silent and the bird is silent.

The room was completely silent until three o'clock in the morning, when Wang Xifeng turned off the lights and went to bed.

An Erruer stood outside with her ears pricked up, and heard some rustling sounds from inside. After a while, she finally heard the breathing become long and steady, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"After all, I have watched him since he was a child. No matter how much of a bastard and beast he is, he would be sad to hear that he is gone like this." An'er spoke softly, not knowing whether he was explaining to himself or to Ru'er.

Ruer was silent for a long time before she whispered, "The Second Miss is always mean to our First Lady behind our backs, and she also curses our Miss for not having any accidents happen when she goes out all day..."

An'er opened his eyes wide: "The girl loves her so much! She can get whatever she wants!!!"

"She said that if the girl died, not only would the good things in the girl's room, but also the first lady's private storehouse and shop would all belong to her." Ru'er's voice became even lower, "The second lady is not good at business..."

An'er bit her lips for a long time, but in the end she didn't say "you deserve it".

Inside the bedroom, deep inside the large bed, beneath the light gauze curtains, Wang Xifeng stared blankly at a point in the sky, and finally uttered:

"Count them and give me a list.

"In the last life, everyone had a hard time living a peaceful life. I think it was because those who deserved to die didn't die.

"From now on, I will take over your job in the underworld."

Wu Jin let out a soft "ow" and retreated quietly.

When she got up early the next day, Wang Xifeng was still practicing boxing and stick playing, but she "accidentally" broke a peach tree in the corner of the yard with one stick, and her own knuckles were also cracked, and blood gushed out for a while.

Everyone was so frightened that they hurried to report to the Crown Princess and ask for the imperial physician, but she just waved her hand as if nothing had happened and wrapped the wound with a clean handkerchief.

When I was reading with Aunt Meng after dinner, the sound of a piano suddenly came from the west side hall.

Meng Fanshuang stopped reading and listened attentively for a moment. Then she blinked and looked at Wang Xifeng: "This should be Mei Liangyuan practicing the piano. The piece of music is Li Bai's "Preface to a Spring Night Banquet in Peach and Plum Garden"."

Wang Xifeng looked at her blankly: "Li Bai? Isn't he a poet?"

"..." Meng Fanshuang choked for a moment, then helplessly held her forehead, "Li Bai held a night banquet in Taoli Garden, drank with his younger brother and others, and wrote a preface. Later it became a piano piece."

Wang Xifeng said, "So, Mei Liangyuan thinks my cousin is dead and wants to comfort me?"

"It should be." Meng Fanshuang sighed softly and recited the first few sentences of the preface, "Heaven and earth are the inns of all things; time is the passer-by of hundreds of generations. And life is like a dream, how much joy can there be..."

Then he explained the meaning to her.

Wang Xifeng listened with fascination: "Aunt, tell me more about it later. I'm going to listen to the zither first."

Having said that, he sat down in the corridor and listened to the piano attentively.

Seeing her leaning there with a dazed look in her eyes, Meng Fanshuang's heart moved slightly. She waved to An'er to come over and whispered a few instructions to her.

An'er's eyes lit up and he agreed and ran away.

After a while, he ran back panting, smiling excitedly and nodded at Meng Fanshuang.

When the song ended, the music of the zither stopped for a while, and Wang Xifeng came back to her senses.

Meng Fanshuang quietly suggested that she might as well learn piano from Mei Ruoqin.

Wang Xifeng refused to do so!

"I can't even bend a brush, so how can I play with that thing?

"I'm a martial artist, aren't you afraid that I might get impatient and break the strings and smash that thing?

“Although I don’t like that, I know how expensive it is!

"Isn't this just a waste of time and money?!"

Meng Fanshuang had a splitting headache, but she had no choice but to settle for the next best thing: "Then when Mei Liangyuan practices the piano every day, can Chenghui listen in? I just asked An'er to find out, Mei Liangyuan only practices for half an hour every day!"

When Wang Xifeng was about to refuse, she met Aunt Meng's vicious and murderous gaze, muttered to herself, "A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him," and reluctantly agreed.

The next day, Mei Ruoqin started practicing "Flowing Water" with great interest.

But she was not very familiar with this piece of music - otherwise she would not have used this period of time to review her homework, groping her way through the score bit by bit, intermittently and haltingly.

Wang Xifeng was full and sitting down. The piano music was so monotonous that she fell asleep.

Meng Fanshuang poked her arm two or three times, but she didn't wake up. She was so angry that veins on her forehead were throbbing. She picked up the ruler and said, "Chenghui, stretch out your palms. Don't pull them back."

Wang Xifeng suddenly woke up and stared at Meng Fanshuang warily: "What are you doing?!"

"Being able to listen to the zither and enjoy music is an elegant thing that cultivates one's temperament!

"With Cheng Hui's status, no matter how much the Emperor and the Crown Prince trust you, they will never send you another musician!

"It's so rare that you meet Mei Liangyuan who loves to tune the zither. This is a great opportunity for Cheng Hui, but you don't know how to cherish it!

“What a waste!

“Be punished!

"Hands out!"

Meng Fanshuang pointed her ruler at Wang Xifeng's nose and yelled!

From Wang Xifeng, to An Erruer who was standing beside her, to Xia Shouzhong who was eavesdropping in the east wing hall, to the master and servant of the Mei family who were listening at the window of the west wing hall, everyone was dumbfounded and horrified!

Good guy!

This is the true nature revealed!

It turns out that Aunt Meng, who is always well-behaved and dignified, is actually so violent at heart——

Even more violent than Wang Xifeng herself!!!
