Chapter 611

A few days later, early in the morning, there was a rain in Ningyang city.

The rain was slight, but the chill was deep.

In the main courtyard of Dingnan palace, the princess of Dingnan is doing morning classes in the Buddhist hall. Although she is old, her back on the futon is still upright, with green fragrance. Sandalwood beads polished by years rotate slowly between her fingers.

It was cloudy and rainy, the vision line was dark, and the door of the Buddhist hall was not completely closed. Sometimes a breeze brushed the threshold and dispersed the smoke slowly rising in the incense burner.

"Pa!"

At this time, the string of rosary beads in the hands of Princess Dingnan scattered with the wisps of incense mist.

The bead line suddenly broke for some reason, and the beads lost their bondage and splashed on the ground.

Princess Dingnan, who was concentrating on reciting scriptures, was slightly surprised.

Two mammies on one side hurriedly knelt down and picked up the rosary beads.

Holding the bead thread and the only two rosary beads in her hand, Princess Dingnan looked up at the compassionate Golden Buddha on the divine case, and a bad feeling gradually came into her heart.

"It's supposed to be changed..." the two mammies found the remaining 106 rosary beads and put them into the jade plate.

Princess Dingnan also put the two in her hand. When she was about to say something, she only heard a girl enter the hall and whispered, "madam, the second master, the third master and the fourth childe please come."

Princess Dingnan nodded, raised a hand, lifted herself up by Mammy, worshipped the Buddha for three times, and then left the Buddha Hall.

The three uncles and nephews waiting in the front hall saluted the old man and said hello.

"Ah Ling came just in time, and her mother was about to send someone to find you." Princess Dingnan sat in her chair and looked at the handsome man in the hall.

"I don't know what mother has to say?" Wu jingling said respectfully, with a smile that looked the same as before, but the tired color in the bottom of his eyes could not be covered up.

"Your father, your eldest brother and sister-in-law, and ah yuan, can there be another letter recently? It's supposed to be back -" there was a trace of uneasiness in the tone of Princess Dingnan.

When Wu jingling heard this, he smiled and dodged for a moment.

Wu Jingyi also looked at him: "yes, second brother, I didn't say that my father sent a letter to you. The letter only said that I could return home in about seven or eight days?"

He is Wu Jingming's brother and was born by Princess Dingnan.

Wu ran, who came together, also looked at his second uncle.

He has been looking forward to it every day since he learned that his grandfather, father, mother and second brother are coming back together.

He didn't have a clear and profound understanding of the way to go at home. He also knew that the situation in Ningyang was tense, but as long as the family could get together, the rest would not be afraid.

It is undoubtedly a great pleasure for my father, mother and second brother to leave the capital and return to Ningyang safely.

Under the gaze of several lines of sight, Wu jingling had to smile reluctantly and said, "I think it should be coming soon. My son sent someone out of the city to meet him two days ago."

"Two days ago?" Princess Dingnan had faintly noticed something wrong. She stared at Wu jingling and asked, "tell your mother truthfully, your father and them... But what happened?"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Wu Jingyi and Wu ran changed immediately.

Looking at the second uncle on his side, Wu ran slowly realized the difference - there was a light cyan beard on the second uncle's always white face, which was rarely seen!

It should be noted that the second uncle always loves beauty. He is exquisite all over his body. His degree of attention can be regarded as a model of not leaving a way for young men. When did he allow himself to have such a description?

Wu Jingyi also noticed this, but previously he only acquiesced that his second brother slept in the flower building at night, so he could take care of it carefully in the future——

However, now think about it carefully. At present, my father, my eldest brother and ah yuan are not at home. Ningyang is in such a situation. People in the family are worried. My second brother is pestered by the family all day. He wants to visit the flower building. I'm afraid he has no skills.

In this gap, Wu jingling had picked up the corner of his robe and knelt down.

"It's my son's incompetence. Now... There's no news from my father and brother."

"No news yet? What's the meaning of the second brother?" Wu Jingyi was surprised. "How can I lose the news when I come back?"

Princess Dingnan had a premonition about this. When she heard the speech, she slightly clenched the tuanfu pattern embroidered on the edge of her cuff. Her face was still calm and said in a voice: "ah Ling, you don't have to worry about me, just explain everything you know!"

Wu jingling replied with "yes" and bowed his head: "... After receiving a letter from his father, knowing that his father was about to arrive in Ningyang recently, his son sent someone out of the city to meet him early, but someone reported back early yesterday morning that he didn't receive his father, and... He found traces of fighting between cars and horses and a nearby corpse beside his father in Longqi Mountain..."

"What?!" Wu Jingyi's face tightened: "father and big brother... Were they attacked?"

Princess Dingnan's heart sank and she said calmly, "if you are from the imperial court, you must go down to kill... Can you make people search carefully in the mountains? Do you leave any other traces?"

In other words, something really happened to Bento, and we should... And we should find someone!

This is what I fear most. I'm already very careful. Can't I still avoid it?

"The mountain has almost been turned over, and no trace has been let go..." Wu jingling has lost his voice: "infer from the tracks of cars and horses, or..."

"Or how?" Wu Jingyi asked anxiously.

"Or... Fell to the bottom of the cliff."

"..." Wu Jingyi was shocked.

——Falling off a cliff?!

"Impossible!" Wu ran, who was listening all the time and was too shocked to make a sound, suddenly opened his mouth, red eyes and shook his head. "With grandfather and second brother, this can never happen!" - not to mention his father!

"I don't believe it!" the boy's tears shook in his eyes and struggled not to fall down: "I'm going to Longqishan to find my grandfather, father, mother and second brother!"

Then he turned and ran out.

"Quickly, follow up and watch ah Zhang!" Princess Dingnan quickly ordered her servants.

A Mammy and two girls hurried after her.

"My son has sent more people to search at the bottom of the cliff, but the range is too large and the terrain is complex, so he hasn't got anything yet..." Wu jingling knelt there, slowly clenched his palm on his side, raised his head and looked at Princess Dingnan: "However, although the car and horse fell off the cliff, their father and brother may not be in the car. At this time, there is no news or the best news - the son didn't immediately tell his mother because he was thinking of this possibility. He was afraid that his mother would worry about it and drag his body down. He was going to tell his mother in detail when he had a clear result..."

Wu Jingyi nodded in agreement and said, "yes, people may not be in the car! Ah yuan has always been the best at coping or escaping!"

Princess Dingnan nodded pale.

She naturally wants to think so.

But things in the world often don't give people the best possibility

Or, prepare for the worst

She slowly vomited the restless and stuffy air in her chest, tried her best to calm her mind and told Yaozi: "help your second brother up first."

"It's all because of my son's poor arrangement. If we can make enough people to pick it up two days earlier, or not..." Wu jingling tightened his body, insisted on refusing to get up, bowed his head and hit the ground with tears one by one.

"I can't blame you." Princess Dingnan looked at him and said: "Your father came back to the city to avoid people's eyes and ears. He didn't dare to say anything all the way. Now, there are not all credible people in Ningyang city and even in the family. I don't know how many eyes are staring at the wind and grass in the palace. If you move too much, or you will expose their whereabouts - no one can do it safely. Get up quickly. The rest needs your brothers People discuss countermeasures together. "

"My mother is right. My second brother doesn't have to blame himself too much. Now it's most important to try to find his father." Wu Jingyi raised her hand and pulled the man up.

However, at this time, a big servant girl outside the hall came in.

After saluting, he said, "Wu GUI, who is next to the second master, said he had something important to report to the second master and asked the maid to pass it on quickly..."

Uncle GUI is an old man in the mansion. He is always the most calm. Just now, looking at his face, it seems that something big has happened

"Wu GUI?" Princess Dingnan looked at Wu jingling: "but he is responsible for it?"

Wu jingling nodded: "go back to your mother. My son handed over the matter of Longqishan to your uncle -"

"Let people in!" Princess Dingnan immediately ordered.

Come back at this time, or there is progress or even results.

I wish God had eyes

Princess Dingnan was calm on the surface, but she prayed at the bottom of her heart.

That's her husband, her parents, children, daughter-in-law, and her only grandson... Even if she doesn't mention the overall situation, they are the most important people in her life.

The Wu family's failure to protect Zhenzhen was the most painful thing in her heart. Now she can no longer protect ah yuan!

Wu GUI quickly came in.

Princess Dingnan looked at the saluter and said, "I already know everything - is there a prince and their whereabouts?"

"Back to the old lady, it should be... Found."

Wu GUI answered and knelt down.

This kneeling seemed to weigh a thousand kilograms and hit several people in the heart of Princess Dingnan.

"What is' should be '?" Wu Jingyi looked at Wu GUI firmly, and her whole body tightened into a straight line: "make it clear --"

"The villain took people to search at the bottom of the cliff for a long time, and did find the fallen cars and horses." Wu GUI's voice was very stuffy, with an uncontrollable tremor: "the carriage fell to pieces, and the horse's body has been eaten by the wild animals..."

"Where are people?!" Wu jingling got up from his chair, and his red eyes didn't dare to blink: "it must be... There's no trace of people, right?"

But Wu GUI knocked his head on the ground.

"We found several corpses near the chariots and horses... Those corpses were broken after falling from the cliff, and there were traces of being eaten by wild animals and birds... But judging from the general description and clothes, they really looked like the prince, descendants and wives..."

His voice grew deeper and lower, almost inaudible.

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

"Even if it is, it may not be!" Wu jingling said in an evasive tone.

Wu Jingyi asked, "can you bring it back?"

"All have been transported back to the house through the back door and temporarily placed in the backyard..."

"Mother..." Wu Jingyi reluctantly raised her hand and said, "son... I want to see it."

"..." Princess Dingnan nodded gently.

"In addition to the corpse... I found some intimate things nearby and have brought them back." Wu GUI paused and asked, "I don't know, old lady... Do you want to have a look?"

"Take it, take it all..." Princess Dingnan closed her eyes and her voice was very light.

"Old lady..." the mammy on one side anxiously held the old man's shoulder.

It was soon handed over to a servant girl.

In the black lacquer tray, there are some objects on a piece of white cloth.

There are sachets embroidered with asparagus, waist seals embroidered with auspicious clouds, jade hairpins broken into several sections, and a jade pendant still completely stained with blood

Princess Dingnan trembled and held the jade pendant in her hand.

Wu jingling also looked over and said to himself, "father..."

This is my father's jade pendant

A jade pendant whose father never leaves his body!

"When!"

The jade pendant slipped from the hands of Princess Nan and hit the ground.

"Old lady!"

"Mother!"

"Ask the doctor to come quickly!"

Princess Dingnan had an old disease. She was better last year because she got the prescription prescribed by doctor Qiu. At present, she was greatly stimulated by this. Although she didn't shed a tear and didn't lose her manners, she was locked in her heart. She couldn't hold it in the end.

He fainted and fell ill.

When Wu Jingyi examined the body himself and walked out of the room where the body was parked, the whole person seemed to be decadent.

Seeing his face like snow and his feet floating, his entourage hurried forward to help him.

"Three masters..."

"I don't know..." Wu Jingyi shook her head and said, "I don't know..."

The entourage's eyes were sour and didn't say much.

After Wu Jingyi left, the people in the backyard had to talk about it in peace.

"Is it really the prince and his descendants..."

"It's out of shape... But it seems that it should be."

And the body of the coachman was found. It was indeed the people around the Lord

At the bottom of the same cliff, there can't be anyone else, and it happens that they can match the number?

Then Wu jingling and Wu ran arrived.

Although the two uncles and nephews have not asserted, under these premises, as long as they are not denied, they are equivalent to confirmed.

This matter is doomed to be hidden, and there is no reason to hide it.

The news soon spread among the Wu clan, like, no, thunder——

Something happened to the owner!

The son and his wife also had an accident!

Even in recent years, he has gained prestige under the neutrality of the clan, has long been in charge of his own affairs, and has been directly regarded by the clan as the next grandson of the next head of the family... There is no more!

It is unimaginable for any family to lose its owner, descendants and grandchildren overnight.

After just a few days of fermentation, the Wu family has been firmly shrouded in grief, anxiety and even panic.

But they know better than anyone that the current situation will never allow them to indulge in grief

At present, what is before them is a thorny and severe problem——
