Daughter-in-law of the Marquis Family - Chapter 291
Xie Jingxi didn’t want to be involved in the front yard, especially now when there is a brain lawsuit, but there are still many unsolved things about Gu Heng. He won’t have no clue to find her at this time. Therefore, Xie Jingxi had to suppress his irritability and change his clothes and go to the front yard.
Fang Dai followed her, “madam, the young master is not at home. At this time, why don’t you find a reason to shirk it? It’s so late. Even if you want to be mourned, you’ll have a look in the morning. You’re still hurt.”
“You think I want to go.” Xie Jingxi wrapped several layers of cloth around her arm to fix it. When the wound moved greatly, it would still hurt. When everything was properly dressed, she started to go out. “Everyone must be there at this time. We should give this face to emotion and reason, and I guess we may have to lose in advance.”
The front yard is brightly lit, with dim yellow light and snow-white flags intertwined. There is no sadness, but suffocation.
When Xie Jingxi arrived, the front of the spirit was full of people. Hou Ye Gu Heng stood at the top, followed by brother Jian, aunt Fang, and several nephews in the second room. When Xie Jingxi entered, Fang Dai was stopped outside.
Xie Jingxi winked at Fang Dai and motioned to her. Fang Dai stood on his feet and waited outside.
“The reason why I call you here is because there will be a funeral in the middle of the night.” the Duke glanced at the people. “You are working hard.”
Sure enough, he wanted to give Zeng’s funeral in advance. He said he wanted to be with Gu Qing, but there was always a difference between white hair and black hair. Zeng had to take one step first. No one would care about the funeral day or night. Xie Jingxi glanced at it. Everyone was extremely silent and quietly kept the last moment.
Hou Ye has rarely appeared since Zeng’s death. Xie Jingxi had not seen him several times before. At this meeting, he stood in front of the spirit, but he was a little thin and lonely, but he looked a little too sad. And Gu Heng, after a few days, he has obviously reduced a lot from the last time I saw him, and his face is very haggard. Did Zeng have such a heavy weight in their hearts? Or do they play more important than people.
Anyway, she can’t show any sadness to the indifferent people. Even now, she can’t squeeze out the slightest sad emotion, so she has to stand numbly and silently.
“Eldest daughter-in-law, stand in front.” Hou Ye whispered with his back to the people.
Xie Jingxi came late, so she took advantage of the situation and stood at the back. Leng Buding was named by the marquis. She subconsciously glanced at the people, but the others didn’t respond. She had no objection to what she should have stood in front, so she had to follow suit.
When passing Zou’s front, Xie Jingxi sensitively noticed that her eyes followed her back. I don’t know if she was too sensitive. She always felt that her eyes were uncomfortable.
Xie Jingxi stood next to Gu Heng, took a wrong step and didn’t stand side by side. Hou Ye looked back at her arm and didn’t say anything. Gu Heng didn’t even give her Yu Guang. The whole atmosphere was extremely strange.
Her head is getting lower and lower. As the nominally daughter-in-law of the Marquis, she just looks like she’s standing here. She doesn’t care. Whether Gu Heng or the Marquis can’t affect her.
“Sister-in-law, it’s convenient to come to the back hall with me.” about half an hour later, Gu Heng suddenly opened his mouth. He still stood with his back to her, and his voice was almost inaudible.
Xie Jingxi thought it was auditory hallucination. For a moment, Gu Heng didn’t react. Gu Heng glanced at her with Yu Guang, “why, my sister-in-law is afraid of me?”
She frowned and subconsciously looked at the Marquis, but the Marquis didn’t seem to hear it. She said nothing at all. She couldn’t help sighing and said what it was.
Gu Heng is not the original Gu Heng, but Xie Jingxi has not frightened him. After so many years, the original gratitude and resentment between right and wrong has become far away. It seems hypocritical to care about it.
Gu Heng took the lead in walking to the back hall. Xie Jingxi followed up after making a mistake.
Fang Dai couldn’t see Xie Jingxi in her sight. As soon as she was nervous, she subconsciously wanted to break in, but was stopped by Zhao Guan’s family outside. Zhao Guan’s family made a silent gesture to her and whispered, “it’s all right, Fang Dai.”
Fang Dai’s family said it’s okay, but she’s hard to break in. But what’s the matter? Gu Yun ordered her not to leave her wife for half a step. Why should she be limited to the Marquis of laoshizi? In view of the countless lessons before, as long as her wife is away from her sight, she’ll be at sixes and sevens. What can I do!
Xie Jingxi was also inexplicable. It was not long before Zeng’s funeral. At this time, he invited her to the back hall for what to do, and the Marquis didn’t ask.
“Sister-in-law.” Gu Heng stopped and looked back at her. “You have a wound in your arm. It’s better to come in and have a rest.”
He said caring words in his mouth, but there was no temperature in his eyes and tone. He had the same attitude as usual, but it was good. They should have this atmosphere.
“If you call me in for this, I don’t think I need it very much. I didn’t intend to mourn, so I’m not tired.”
“Oh.” Gu Heng moved miserably, “sure enough, my sister-in-law will still refuse all my requirements. If you don’t want to agree with me, take it as what my father said.”
Xie Jingxi frowned. It was terrible. Now more than ever, she wanted Gu Yun to be by her side, even if she just stood.
Gu Heng went to her side by side and whispered, “since my sister-in-law is insincere, there’s no need to stand there and look like it. There’s no need to follow the funeral, but the overall situation of the family still needs to be looked after. After all, you’re the serious daughter-in-law of the Marquis, aren’t you?”
Before she could figure out the oddity of this remark, she heard him say again: “since eldest brother wants Hou’s house, he should always do something. What do you say, sister-in-law.”
When Gu Heng left, Xie Jingxi was still stunned. What did he mean by his inexplicable words? Did he intend to give up the Hou house or demonstrate with her? Since he saw Gu Yun’s intention to stay, did he declare war with her?
Why do you always think something is wrong.
But she did stand there insincerely. The LORD said so. She can’t stand in the back hall with a thick face. If there is no one in the Hou house later, she probably needs to go out and look after it. It’s better to have a rest.
When Fang Dai saw Gu Heng coming out alone, he became more and more worried and worried. He almost rushed over regardless. The Zhao family didn’t stop her, but said, “madam is injured and shouldn’t stand for a long time. The Marquis promised. Miss Fang Dai doesn’t have to worry.”
Hou Ye promised his wife to go to the back hall to rest. Why don’t you just let them go back? Fang Dai’s uneasy heart was not relieved because of his explanation. “Zhao Guan’s family, my wife is injured and needs to rest. It’s better to ask Hou ye to show me and allow me to accompany her back to rest for a while. It’s the same when something happens.”
Zhao Guan’s family smiled, “Miss Fang Dai, no matter what, grandma and grandma are the eldest daughter-in-law of Hou’s house. It’s better to do our best on this occasion. It hasn’t been a long time. You see, the guard of Honor outside has been ready.”
Fang Dai was speechless. He had come to show himself. At the last moment, there was no reason to retreat at this time. Mrs. Hou’s funeral was just a moment and a half. Fang Dai endured and waited patiently again.
Xie Jingxi also waited patiently for this moment. When there was a noise outside, she got up and pushed the door, but the door didn’t open.
The door was locked. Xie Jingxi frowned. When did it happen and why didn’t she notice it? It was clear that Gu Heng hadn’t locked it when he went out.
The outside was soon covered by the sudden wailing sound. Xie Jingxi’s sound of pushing the door became insignificant and could not cause waves at all. She sank her breath and tried to calm herself down. Fang Dai must have been led away by them. What Gu Heng wants to do and what he will do in the end!
In Fang Dai’s eyes, Xie Jingxi had stood in front of the mourning hall. Although she didn’t see how she came out, she did stand in front of the mourning hall, and her face was not very good.
The wailing voice rang through the Marquis house, and everyone began to get busy. Even though it was not dawn yet, there were still many people who came to mourn. Madam had to deal with many people. Could she stand it?
No, she has to find a way to inform the young master. Probably no one can take his wife away without scruples except him.
“Is it Miss Fang Dai?” a girl ran over and said anxiously, “Miss Fang Dai, grandma, her wound has cracked. She said that the medicine used in ordinary days has been left in the room. Please go back and get it. In addition, the Marquis has gone to ask Mrs. PEI for a doctor. Madam told you not to worry.”
Hearing that Xie Jingxi’s wound was cracked, Fang Dai ran back to get the medicine without hesitation. Probably he saw Xie Jingxi standing in front of the person. Fang Dai went most of the time just now. He felt too nervous. What are you afraid of in the Hou house? No matter how, he won’t have anything at home?
Fang Dai ran back at the speed of taking off. Halfway through the run, she suddenly stopped. What’s the weird that has been haunting her? Why did she come back to get the medicine? Why didn’t she listen to Xie Jingxi’s confirmation? No! The lady I saw just now is not quite right!
Fang Dai turned back again and returned in the direction of the mourning hall, but when she returned again, she found that a group of complete strangers had been guarding the periphery of the mourning hall, including the whole Hou house. The girls she was familiar with had disappeared and all changed into cold and solemn faces.
Bad, the only thought in Fang Dai’s heart is that something big has happened. Without hesitation, she gave up her futile struggle and decided to find Gu Yun in the palace.
At the same time, there was a mutiny outside the palace. Countless people poured into the palace from nowhere and besieged the palace. Several streets in the capital were occupied by inexplicable people, and all the places where the funeral procession of Hou’s house passed were white.
Gu Yun is too busy for himself. Fang Dai’s news can’t be delivered in time. On the premise of losing Gu Yun’s backbone, Fang Dai has become a headless fly and doesn’t know where to go first.
The auspicious time of Mrs. Hou’s funeral seemed to be a sad sign of the unrest in the whole capital. The overwhelming white spread all over the capital, and then countless people emerged out of thin air, either concentrated outside the palace or scattered in the streets, bewitching the people in the capital to rebel, and those who could not be bewitched would be killed.
The usually domineering urban defense forces turned into toothless tigers. They were vulnerable, disarmed and surrendered. They succumbed to the hands of strong “refugees”. They didn’t know where they came from and what their identity was. They looked like ordinary people. They could not kill at will and couldn’t get clear instructions from the top. The Gyeonggi yamen soon had nothing to do, Let the whole capital be a pot of porridge.
Compared with the chaotic capital, the palace is orderly, but the gate of the palace is surrounded by the people. Even the strong forbidden guards can’t rush out, and they can’t hurt people at will. It’s really painful.
“Where the hell did this man come from!” the king of Jin felt as if he had seen a ghost. He wanted to go directly to the gun and blast away the so-called refugees. “I don’t know what’s going on outside the palace. What’s the matter? Do you want to completely isolate the king?”
Gu Yun has been silent for a long time. He didn’t expect to be forced to this extent by them. First, he mobilized the camp in the suburbs of Beijing and the defense forces in the capital, blocked the old general outside the capital, then controlled the capital with almost no soldiers, and then easily blocked the helpless king of Jin in the palace.
No matter how many private soldiers there are under the king of Jin, how many forbidden guards there are in the palace, and how strong the Sheng family army is, as long as they are separated, the king of Jin is a turtle in a jar that can only defend the palace. The people outside the palace are all genuine people. No matter how reckless you are, the king of Jin can’t do it to the people. As long as you kill one by mistake, it will be a heart killing crime that can be kept in history in the future. You don’t even need to attack. The situation outside the palace is certain, and the king of Jin can only surrender obediently.
And ah Xi, Gu Yun held his trembling hand. They completely counted everyone in. When he entered the palace, Mrs. Hou lost her heart. Everything was predetermined in advance. Ah Xi must be in Gu Heng’s hand now.
Gu Heng, sure enough, still underestimated him.
“I’m going out of the palace,” Gu Yun said.
“Get out of the palace? Can you get out? Besides, what’s the use of going out alone? The capital must have been occupied by them. The military department and the capital defense army are foolishly bubbling. They either go out of the city to beat their own people, or shrink their heads when it’s critical. Don’t you go out to die?”
“Isn’t there a secret passage in the palace? I’ll go out from there.” Gu Yun stood up and was about to go out. Suddenly, he was dark and nearly fainted to the ground.
“Ouch, my ancestor!” the king of Jin quickly dragged him, “I’ve been cooking all night. It’s my fault. It’s my fault. Listen to your advice. The secret road can’t get through before there’s no way out. How can the remaining evil of King Qin not know the secret road in the palace? Wait a minute. Fengli and Zhao Zhang will find a way to sneak in. It’s a big deal. I’ll blow up those laoshizi people. You can’t do anything at this time, No But how can I tell your daughter-in-law… Somebody go and tell the princess to come and see if Pei Zixi is in the palace! ”
In the already anxious palace, Gu Yun fainted again. The king of Jin could not let Gu Yun go out like this. The situation was still no progress.
Outside the same anxious palace, old general Sheng and the camp in the suburbs of Beijing are inseparable. They don’t want to be separated. The people in the camp in the suburbs of Beijing don’t know if they have taken the wrong medicine. They entangle old general Sheng like a dog skin plaster and don’t relax at all. Zhao Zhang and Feng Li withdraw from the war situation temporarily and agree that it will be bad if they go on like this.
“Zhao Zhang, I seem to smell the smell of conspiracy. Isn’t it sick? I fight with my own people. It must be wrong to entangle old general Sheng so much. Is there an accident in the capital.”
“Something must have happened,” Zhao Zhang affirmed “No, I have to go back and have a look. Mr. Feng, you and the old general can hold it here. No, you’d better not fight again. You have to find a way to end it. Almost all the troops in the capital are concentrated outside the city. There are no soldiers to guard in the capital. This is not a good thing. If I am the remaining evil of King Qin, I will occupy the capital and isolate the king of Jin at this time.”
“Oh, it’s really such a thing when you say so. These bastards in the camp in the suburbs of Beijing didn’t expect to be so difficult. In this way, I’ll stay here. In addition, Miss Gu Guan and the old general are enough. You take everyone to break through the siege and enter the city. Believe me, promise to go to Beijing for support within two days.”
In addition to believing, Zhao Zhang only believed. He patted Feng Li on the shoulder and reached a silent tacit understanding.
In the capital, not only the periphery of the imperial palace is full of people, but also the Yamen of all departments without exception. There is no shortage of the Marquis, the Duke of the state, and the princess’s house. Except that the door is closed, they can do almost nothing at home.
A lot of people have died in the street. Under the pressure, everyone can only shut up, except those Wen Shengru officials in the Imperial Academy who can’t seal their mouths with their swords around their necks.
“It’s really outrageous! I’ve never heard of it! God forbid it! Do evil! How can the king of Jin ignore the country and the people so much!”, “tyrant, tyrant’s behavior! Will the people be killed if they don’t obey? How can such a sensational disaster happen in a peaceful and prosperous age!”, “that’s right! I want to write an article against the king of Jin, and I want future generations to see the king’s behavior!”
The whole Imperial Academy is very lively. It feels that you can go to the battlefield to cut people with a knife. It’s a pity that some weak people who can only talk and write can also be cut on the battlefield.
Xie Jingyu has never been involved in their remarks, but he can’t listen to them at this time, “Fellow colleagues, this is obviously not the work of the king of Jin. The people in the capital will not gather and make trouble for no reason. Unless someone instigates or controls it, the king of Jin will not benefit him by killing all the people in the capital. And those people around him are not ordinary people at all. Don’t you think everything is too unusual?”
Some people are speechless, others are dismissive, and they are still full of complaints, without any sense of crisis.
At this time, Fang Ziqing stood up, patted Xie Jingyu on the shoulder, motioned him to be calm, and then said to everyone, “please be quiet. No matter what, there will be no danger in our Imperial Academy. The situation outside is unknown, but we can’t talk about it, so as not to cause trouble.”
When Mr. Fang came forward, everyone was very proud to calm down. Xie Jingyu looked at him with a complex look, and his doubts persisted for a long time.
