Daughter-in-law of the Marquis Family - Chapter 281
As soon as Xie Jingxi Fu returned to the Marquis house, he told the Marquis that the second young grandmother had died.
“Father, this is only suitable for you. Anyway, let her go well.”
Hou Ye was stunned. The eldest daughter-in-law had never spoken in this tone. She was firm and irresistible, and obviously had a deep meaning.
“I know my mother is seriously ill and may bump into her at this time, but the second sister hasn’t seen the sun for more than ten years. There’s no reason to sneak until she dies.”
Xie Jingxi nodded and saluted with him. Before turning around and leaving, he said, “the soup the second sister drank is poisonous. I think I should tell my father.”
The Marquis frowned and watched her leave.
It’s really not a good time for the second young grandmother of Hou’s house to die at this moment. Zeng’s family is seriously ill. If the family makes a big funeral, it’s really called a collision, but Xie Jingxi doesn’t intend to let this breath. If she doesn’t mention it, Hou’s house will probably buy a coffin and bury her directly. Aunt Fang won’t intervene in Gu Heng’s absence. She can only come forward with Hou.
She said all that. Hou Ye wouldn’t object. She decided Hou Ye’s attitude.
Out of the Marquis yard, Xie Jingxi meets Gu Guan and Sheng last who are going to Zeng’s house.
Sheng last couldn’t stand the long journey. He was ill. He didn’t see many people after coming to Hou’s house. In particular, he didn’t let him see Zeng. The child was afraid of the disease, and most importantly, Zeng didn’t want to see him.
Xie Jingxi stepped forward and asked Gu Guan, “why did you come back so late? How’s Xiaosheng last?”
Sheng last nodded, “aunt, I’m fine.”
“I suddenly said I wanted to see him. I always came back to have a look.”
Xie Jingxi realized something, “but it’s not good?”
Gu Guan nodded and couldn’t help sighing, “I haven’t talked much. Today I suddenly said I want to see you.”
In the past few days since she came back, Zeng has not talked much. I don’t know whether she can’t say it or just face Gu Guan. She hum a few times and can’t hear what she said clearly. Gu Guan comes to have a look every day. In fact, her mother and daughter don’t have a complete sentence, let alone see Sheng last.
It was obvious that she was still angry and didn’t give Gu Guan a face. She didn’t mention it, and Gu Guan wouldn’t bring Sheng last. Even if they didn’t speak, they were still competing. It seems that the knot in Zeng’s heart is not so easy to solve. In fact, she wants to wait for Gu Qing to come back until she can’t endure it. Then she remembers to meet Sheng last.
“It’s good to see you. Your second sister-in-law has just gone, and I haven’t seen you at the last time.”
“Second sister-in-law, she……” Gu Guan was very surprised, “how could she suddenly……”
Gu Guan is about to forget the appearance of her second sister-in-law. She hasn’t spoken much since she married into Hou’s house. Now she suddenly goes, and she can’t help feeling that it’s all bad things to come back.
“Second brother, what is he doing? It’s really outrageous.” even though she doesn’t like her second sister-in-law very much, she still feels that Gu Heng is a little too much.
“Forget it, guan’er, take Sheng last in first, and I’ll do it for her.”
Gu Guan was speechless for a moment. At this time, the funeral was undoubtedly going to collide with Zeng, but Gu Guan didn’t want to stop it. Human life is heavy, and no one chose a time to die. Since people are gone, they should go with dignity.
“Go, Jingxi. She’s already like this and can’t say anything.” Gu Guan smiled at her.
After Xie Jingxi left, Sheng last grabbed his mother’s clothes, “mother, aunt, she seems to be different. Mother, I’m a little afraid. Is grandma scary?”
Sheng last had an inexplicable fear of the whole Hou house. He felt that everyone here was different from what he imagined. He was cold and strict, so that he didn’t dare to speak too loudly. He was afraid when he saw his grandfather, and he was even more afraid of his grandmother who was about to meet.
“It’s all right.” Gu Guan took his hand and comforted him. “Your aunt’s sister died. She’s sad.”
“So it is. The aunt is so poor. Let’s comfort her later.”
With Gu Guan in front of him, Sheng last was bolder. If Sheng Jin was there, he would laugh at his timidity. Therefore, Sheng last was afraid of being ridiculed by his second brother from a distance and summoned up the courage to enter Zeng’s room. However, Rao was psychologically prepared or frightened enough by Zeng in bed, and instinctively wanted to hide behind his mother.
Different from the previous half dead, Zeng’s eyes were open, muddy but without any emotion. He scraped Sheng last from head to foot. Let alone children’s fear, Gu Guan had goose bumps.
“Hello, grandma.” Sheng last stammered out his prepared greetings, and then saw Zeng’s eyes moving.
Sheng Jin and Sheng last, two brothers, are biased towards Gu Guan. Following Gu Guan is like following Gu Qing. I don’t know what Zeng saw from Sheng last, but he actually stretched out his hand to him.
That hand looks like withered, which is inevitable for aging people. However, Zeng’s skin has a kind of unhealthy white unique to noble women. With long nails, it is like the hand stretched out from the grave late at night. Sheng last peed up and almost peed his pants.
“Qing’er…” Zeng murmured two notes.
Gu Guan reacted and his face was not very good-looking. Facing Zeng’s face, he raised an indescribable anger. Sheng last was inexplicable, “grandma, I, I’m Sheng last.”
Zeng held out his hand and Sheng last dared not come forward. Zeng would get up from the bed and catch him. He didn’t know where the strength came from. His whole face began to be ferocious, “Qing’er! Qing’er, you return my Qing’er…”
Sheng last finally couldn’t help crying. Gu Guan choked up in his throat and refused to stay any longer. He picked up Sheng last and went out without looking back.
Zeng’s voice calling Gu Qing rang through the house, mixed with the anxious cries of the girls. Gu Guan left them behind. She thought that she would never come to this house again. She had nothing to do with everything here.
Zeng’s strength was exhausted and he simply fell into a coma. In the middle of the night, he invited peizixi to pass the house. All he could do was to continue his life, but Xie Jingxi was still preparing for Xie Jingqi’s death.
After listening to Xie Jingxi’s words, the Marquis announced the news of the second young grandmother’s death the next day. It is said that Gu Hengren is outside and doesn’t know when he can get back. In fact, he probably can’t catch up. Xie Jingqi died of poisoning and is unlikely to stop working for a few days. Xianglan stayed for her day and night, and then he will be bereaved.
The Xie family didn’t come until the eve of the funeral, but Xu’s Xie Cen didn’t arrive. He just sent an old mother and the housekeeper to pay tribute. Even the three princesses and Xie Jingyu came to have a look in person, which can be regarded as representing the mother’s family.
The three princesses privately told Xie Jingxi why Xu was making trouble to come, but Xie Cen stopped them, so they changed to come. It was all the face of the Xie family that the three princesses could come.
Xu came here for nothing. Now the Xie family is embarrassed. Of course, Xie Cen can’t let her come and lose face. It’s meaningful to make trouble. The dead have no peace and have no face.
Xie Jingqi died in another hospital. She chose to leave Hou’s house before she died and didn’t want to go back. There was no place for her anywhere. Xie Jingxi decided to decorate the other hospital in a decent way, which could be regarded as giving her a decent dignity. When she thought of herself in her previous life, she didn’t know whether anyone would converge for her.
The next morning, Xie Jingqi was going to mourn, but just before the mourning, the news of Zeng’s death came from Hou’s house.
The people who came to report the funeral stopped in front of Xie Jingxi and Gu Guan. It seemed that they were waiting for their two to reply. Gu Guan didn’t say a word, so he just thought it had nothing to do with her. Xie Jingxi replied, “I know. You always have to wait for the second young grandmother’s funeral here. Go back first.”
Of course, the battle of Mrs. Hou’s death can’t be on the same day as Xie Jingqi’s, but everything comes first, and Xie Jingxi clearly meant to worry about this first. The person who answered didn’t dare to say anything, so he left.
Gu smiled and sighed, “I really don’t want to go back. Jingxi, how can you be like this?”
It was like this, but she didn’t know it all the time. “Guan’er, when people die and the lights go out, some things are tantamount to closing the coffin. There’s no way to talk about it again. Just let it go and send her a ride. It’s all a mother daughter relationship, and there’s no debt in the future.”
Gu Guan bowed over her shoulder, “Jingxi, how can I want to cry like this? I’m not sad, or I just want to cry.”
Xie Jingxi stroked her hair. “Cry if you want. No one will say anything at this time, but at least keep a few drops back and cry again, so as not to be called you.”
“Woo… I’m not afraid of what they say. I won’t cry in front of her. I won’t leave a tear to her. Only Gu Qing is in her heart. Why should I cry for her…”
Gu Guan lay on Xie Jingxi’s shoulder and cried, almost venting.
Xie Jingxi was speechless and sympathetic.
When the two returned to Hou’s house, the courtyard was full of chimera. Mrs. Hou had not finished her funeral. All the people invited to do Dharma were in place. The mourning chanting was very lively. Xie Jingxi and Gu Guan fell behind a few steps and didn’t catch up with the excitement.
It’s reasonable that both of them should wear sackcloth and filial piety, but no one wants to move. Just after switching from a sadness, they have to put in another performance immediately. It’s really exhausting.
In addition to Gu Guan, the filial sons were not present, except for an eldest grandson in Gu Heng’s room, but the nephews in Gu’s second master’s room were all ready. Zou’s leader had knelt in front of the mourning hall.
As soon as Xie Jingxi and Gu Guan arrived at the scene, they were right with Zou. Zou dressed in linen and filial piety. Gu Guan and Xie Jingxi finally didn’t change their clothes. They only wore ordinary plain clothes and looked a little upside down, but Gu Guan didn’t intend to fight for this head at all. For Zeng, she has become an outsider’s position, and Xie Jingxi doesn’t want to continue acting.
Zou got up and nodded, “Mrs. Gu, three girls, long time no see.”
