Half a month later, Xi Yuanzhen's coffin was finally brought to the ancestral house.

But Xi Xuyao ​​was not seen among the servants who brought the coffin. Mrs. Yu waited anxiously at the gate of the house, but only received a letter from Ayong.Seeing that the handwriting on the letter was Xi Xuyao's, Yu's heart suddenly rose in the air, and she opened the letter tremblingly, but there was really no good result.

Xi Xuyao ​​said in the letter that he could not live up to his father's expectations of him during his lifetime, and that Jiangning's business had not yet reached the expected level, so he decided to stay in Jiangning to fulfill his father's unfulfilled wish.He will wear hemp and filial piety in Jiangning, and serve the three-year filial piety, so that the old lady does not have to worry.He also said, let Mrs. Yu take good care of herself, and she must give birth to an heir smoothly, so as to keep the mother and child safe.

Seeing this last sentence, Mrs. Yu almost fainted, but there was a second girl, Wan Xiang, by her side, so she could only pretend to support her stomach, and stuffed the letter into Wan Xiang's hand, losing her mind Slowly paced back.

When Mrs. Xi saw the letter, she felt a sigh of relief in her heart, but what could she do?The grandson was originally ambitious, and when he reached his age, he should indeed be released to gain knowledge, but being alone in Jiangning still made Mrs. Xi feel very worried.So she had no choice but to let Ayong continue to return to Jiangning, loyal to the owner, Ayong did not dare to delay, so he kowtowed at the coffins of the old lady and Uncle Xi, and headed towards Jiangning without stopping.

The nanmu coffin standing in the middle of the front hall is completely dark, so dark that people feel cold when looking at it from a distance.

The broken body of Xi Yuanzhen was lying there, and the coffin had already been nailed tightly around it. The old lady Xi had no choice but to sit on the grand master's chair in the hall for a long time to watch her eldest son for the last time.

Xi Wanxiang stood beside her in silence, only to feel that her grandmother, who had passed her ears, seemed to be mourning like never before.She didn't say a word, her expression didn't fluctuate much, she didn't lament, she didn't say anything, as she looked at her, her spine, which was always straight, bent unconsciously, and the white hair around her ears and temples suddenly grew more.

White-haired people send black-haired people.Xi Wanxiang couldn't empathize, she could only hold her grandmother's cold hand and cover her warmer.

Aunt Feng sat on the carved chair next to the coffin. After such a month, she has lost a lot of weight and her eyes have grown a lot, but the eyes are always bloodshot.She didn't dare to look at the dark coffin, she just lowered her head and kept wiping her eyes with a towel, holding her throat and choking.She wailed for a long time, but now she couldn't cry anymore, she shed tears silently on the side.

Xi Wanxiang glanced at her and kindly poured her a cup of hot tea.I don't know if Aunt Feng is really sad because of her dead husband, or because she is worried about being a widow and being helpless in this house.

At noon, the sun broke through the clouds, and the warm sunshine enveloped everything in an instant.The outside is full of spring, and the sound of birdsong is endless, but the whole Xi residence is covered with a layer of dim haze, and the snow-white silk is hung all over the corners of the eaves, fluttering in the wind, like a banner calling for souls.

Xi Qingse came back, followed closely by Nanfeng.

As soon as she saw Qingse, Aunt Feng stood up suddenly. These days, she has been sinking in depression, and she hasn't been this excited for a long time.

As soon as Qingse stepped into the main hall, she knelt down in front of her father's coffin and shed tears.Although my father is not at home all the year round, and I can only see him once or twice every few years, my father always has such a gentle and elegant appearance in his mind, and he travels all over the world to do business. He has a broad vision and courage, unlike his mother. Her petty calculation made her feel a little admired and a little afraid of her father.But it was such a person, but now he could only lie silently in the cold coffin, Xi Qingse lowered his eyes, and kowtowed to him squarely.

After the salute, Qingse asked the nanny to put on filial piety clothes for her. Seeing her mother looking at her sullenly, Qingse also felt a little distressed.So for the first time, he walked to Aunt Feng's side, held her hand, bent her lips, and said, "Mother, don't be afraid, Qingse is back."

After all, Aunt Feng's heart was touched by the love between mother and daughter. Looking at her daughter's face, she felt as if the weather outside was like the weather outside, and she suddenly saw the sun behind the clouds.

It was unreasonable for Qingse to go back to Ning this time. Madam Du let her come back only because her close relative passed away, but she could only stay at her mother's house until her father's funeral.

Three days after the funeral, Qingse and Aunt Feng talked about the past for a long time, and then felt a little unbearable again.After Aunt Feng suffered such a blow, her uneasiness seemed to be multiplied several times. The three words were "have a baby soon", or "you have to work harder to please Mrs. Du in order to gain the approval of the Du family" and so on. Let Qingse feel a little frustrated.I just thought that my mother was feeling very sad about the loss of her husband, so I didn't want to say much, so I listened silently for a long time, and then found an excuse to push her away.

The next day, Mrs. Xi and Yin Tang listened to Butler Li read the purchased funeral supplies in the house, and Xi Wanxiang obediently leaned on the table, occasionally rubbing Mrs. Xi's shoulders and back.

Xi Qingse knocked on the door "Duk Duk", came in and bowed to the old lady: "Grandma, are you looking for me?"

Mrs. Xi opened her eyes a little, and when she saw Qingse, she waved for Butler Li to go down with the other servants.After the door was closed, Mrs. Xi asked Xi Qingse to sit beside her, and then took Wan Xiang's hand, and asked her to sit beside her as well.

"It's been more than three months since you married into the Du family. I don't know how Master Du treats you?" Mrs. Xi said straight to the point, unhurriedly.

Qingse glanced at Wan Xiang, and saw Wan Xiang also looking at her, she had a plan in her heart, the old lady's expression was as calm as water, if she could ask herself so straightforwardly, she must have a little understanding of Du Shaokang's character learn.Thinking of this, Xi Qingse opened his mouth: "Don't hide it from grandma, Mr. Lang doesn't treat me well."

Old Madam Xi frowned: "You seem to have known it a long time ago?"

Xi Qingse's heart was shocked, fearing that nothing could be hidden from this golden-eyed grandmother, but even so, Qingse still pretended to be stubborn, shook her head and said: "At first, Qingse really didn't know, nor did he understand his temperament. It was just to marry Qingse. When I was with Se, he said 'love at first sight', Qing Se wishfully believed that he could treat me well, and gave his heart to me, but I never thought that he was such a person."

Qingse spoke very sincerely, so the old lady Xi believed her, held Qingse's hand distressedly, and sighed, "It's just that you marry a chicken and follow a chicken, and marry a dog as a dog. The method is back again. You have always been smart and have your own ideas, but you are someone else's daughter-in-law, and you can't do things too out of line. It's all your grandmother's fault that she didn't have the energy to find out for you before you got married. Mother hastily betrothed you to someone..." As she spoke, the old lady Xi cast her pitiful eyes on Wan Xiang again, touched Wan Xiang's head, and said, "Then Du Shaokang is not human anymore, She actually wanted to molest us Wanxiang while she was drunk, so the little girl escaped, otherwise her reputation of innocence would be ruined, and your sister-in-law was there at the time, this matter cannot be blamed."

Hearing this, Xi Qingse's eyes widened immediately. So that shameless thing wanted to attack Wan Xiang?No wonder I faltered and hawed when I saw myself afterwards, and refused to say who I met when we confronted each other!I really ate the guts of the ambitious leopard!Xi Qingse was so angry that his teeth were itching, he clearly didn't take the promise he made seriously, and he had to let him know the lesson.

Qingse wasn't the only one who was shocked, Yin Tang who was standing next to Wanxiang was also taken aback.

Yin Chan didn't know when Wanxiang had cried with Mrs. Xi, let alone that the little girl had replaced the victim with herself!She looked at Wan Xiang's slightly childish side face, with her black grape-like eyes drooping, as if she was hiding countless grievances.

Wan Xiang twisted her fingers, she didn't know that her grandmother would say this in front of her cousin, she couldn't help worrying that her cousin would expose her in person and tell the truth.After all, it was a major event where her innocence was ruined by accident, maybe the sister-in-law couldn't bear to let Wan Xiang take the blame.

As expected, Xi Wanxiang caught a glimpse of the sister-in-law's skirt moving slightly from the corner of her eye, as if she was about to stand up, she hurriedly tugged on Yin Chan's sleeve, raised her head and shook her head.

How can Yin Tang control so much, she glared at Wan Xiang, then went around to the old lady Xi, and made a deep bow: "The old lady knows that it was the unfilial grandson-in-law Yin who was almost belittled that day, not Wan Xiang." Yin Chan cast a sideways glance at Wan Xiang, "I think Wan Xiang wants to preserve my reputation, and also wants the old lady to back her up, so she lied about being herself."

Old Madam Xi raised her eyebrows, and asked Wan Xiang in surprise, "Is your cousin telling the truth?"

Unable to hide it any longer, Wan Xiang could only nod her head in embarrassment: "Yes, everything my sister-in-law said is true...but that brother-in-law really went too far, Wan Xiang was standing behind my sister-in-law at that time, seeing clearly !"

The old lady Xi looked at Yin Yang's low eyebrows and Wan Xiang, who was full of anxiety, and seemed to understand the two of them, so she rubbed her temples: "Forget it, I won't say anything about you. Yes People from the Xi family, we should be more careful when we go out in the future, and at least bring a servant by our side." The old lady turned to Qingse and said, "It's not really important to talk to you today, I just leave you alone Take good care of yourself in Du's house. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, glory and wealth, or poverty, at all times, the most important thing is yourself. Besides, grandma asks you, if there is a chance, let you go back to Xi's house, to grandma By your side, would you like to?"

Xi Qingse felt a little puzzled, but still nodded ignorantly: "Of course I would."

Hearing this, the old lady breathed a sigh of relief, looked tired again, and motioned for several people to go down.

The old lady Xi actually had something to say, but she didn't say it clearly to Qingse, but Wanxiang understood the meaning, and she was even more delighted.

After complaining to her grandmother, Wan Xiang gave her an idea by the way, asking her to sell the troublesome two cloth workshops to the Du family.Seeing that Mrs. Xi was hesitant, she acted coquettishly and acted cutely and took turns to take turns. She then counted the absurd deeds of Young Master Du and described the scene when she was almost raped at that time. Mrs. Xi said, "You let me think about it."These words made Xi Wanxiang feel uncertain, but unexpectedly, the old lady actually asked Qingse and got Qingse's affirmation.

In fact, the old lady also considered selling those two cloth workshops. Wan Xiang just mentioned this point, and said that she could make a fortune by making fake accounts. kind.But today, after listening to Qing Se's words, and Wan Xiang adding fuel and vinegar, I realized that Young Master Du is actually such a person. If this is the case, and Qing Se has no intention of staying in Du's house, then it's better to listen to Wan Xiang In other words, it would be good to sell the cloth workshop to the Du family at a high price, and then seize the opportunity to bring Qingse girl back.

What's more, the two cloth workshops are not doing well at present, but after all, they are century-old stores, and the reputation of their connections in the past is still there. If they can fall into the hands of a shrewd person who can plan, they can change course and make a lot of money. Enter.Therefore, it is not considered blackmailing the Du family.

If it weren't for the fact that Xi's family really couldn't spare manpower to take care of it now, and it happened to be such a big funeral, Mrs. Xi wouldn't be moved by the cloth shop.

After coming out of the old lady's room, Xi Wanxiang pulled Qingse's sleeves and whispered, "Sister Qingse..."

Before she finished speaking, Xi Qingse turned her head and smiled at her: "It's nothing, if you want grandma to help you, do it. Anyway, he is such a scum, and I don't like him." After finishing speaking, Xi Qingse said He walked away frankly.

Thinking that the sister-in-law might be angry, Wanxiang hurriedly changed her flattering appearance, and hugged the sister-in-law's arm instead: "Sister-in-law~ I'm hungry, I want to eat brown sugar glutinous rice cakes~"

Hearing these soft words, Yin Chen was as angry as ever, but he still pretended not to look at Wan Xiang: "Why didn't you discuss it with me first, and then went to the old lady? You think you're doing this, Don't you?" Will sister-in-law be happy?"

Xi Wanxiang stuck out her tongue: "I'm just afraid that you will stop me if you find out... I swear, I will report to my sister-in-law whatever I want to do in the future! Including thinking about my cousin when I eat and sleep!"

Yin Tang couldn't hold back his laughter, and scratched Wan Xiang's nose with his knuckles: "You little cunning, but what you said, a gentleman's words are hard to follow."

Wan Xiang nodded seriously: "Naturally. Report! I miss my cousin now."

Yin Yang raised his eyebrows and smiled happily: "Let's go, it's rare to be so obedient, let Jinlian go get brown sugar glutinous rice cakes, and my sister-in-law will eat with you."

The author has something to say: I’m so hungry, I want to eat my sister-in-law...ah no, I want to eat supper=^=
