Chapter 268： Guilt (two more)

Chapter 268 Guilt (two more)

"This disease is passed down by blood, and twins are connected by blood in the fetus. If there is this disease, both children should have the disease at the same time, but Xu Yao is fine."

"I don't care..."

So, Gu Feiyan figured out that they were not twins.

also calculated that Xu Yao should have a twin sister who died unexpectedly.

The three Wei family did not speak for a while, but listened quietly with complicated expressions.

"So it is." Mrs. Wei Guogong sighed.

Wei Wan almost bit her lower lip bleeding, her breathing gradually became faster, her eyes were blurred, and her expression was sad.

That night, she couldn't fall asleep at all. She kept her eyes open until dawn, and she cried many times, as if she had cried all the tears from the past twenty years.

"Thank you girl for your guidance." Wei Wan sincerely thanked her, her voice hoarse as if it had been ground by grit, "I will bury her well..."

Her expression was so sad, so helpless, so self-blame.

When the child was alive, she, the mother, could not protect her well. After the child died, she at least had to let the child re-enter reincarnation and not let her wander around the world as a lonely ghost.

Thinking like this, hot tears came out of her eyes again, dripping down her cheeks continuously...

Wei Wan cried so hard that her heart was broken.

Mrs. Wei Guogong also secretly recited "Amitabha", the death of this child will be an eternal pain in the hearts of the Wei family and Wei Wan, and they only hope that the child can be reborn as soon as possible.

Mrs. Wei Guogong held a sigh of relief in her heart, and after she settled down, she said: "I have discussed with your elder brother, we will bury this child in the ancestral grave of the Wei family, and set up a tablet for her in the ancestral hall, and receive the support of Wei's family. The offering of incense."

Generally speaking, children who die prematurely cannot be buried in ancestral graves, even in the noble family.

Wei Wan's eyes turned even redder, tears almost poured out again, and a warm current flowed through her heart.

She is unkind, but she still has her family. No matter what happens to her, her eldest brother and sister-in-law will stand by her side; even if she is in a quagmire, they will help her get out of it. mud.

She has been luckier than many, many others.

Wei Wan took a few deep breaths, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, tried to stabilize her emotions, and said in a harsh tone: "Xu Yan said that he threw Sister Yao's sister outside and froze to death. ."

"He also said that if a father kills a daughter, he is innocent according to the law."

"It is said that he just brought back an out-of-house son and gave it to the main house to raise him. Among the nobles, there are many such things. Xu Luo did not ask for the title of the prince. Sonless, I am afraid that his mother will embarrass me."

"As for what happened last night, it was just a robbery..."

Wei Wan's hoarse voice was full of mockery.

It wasn't until last night that she could see the person beside her pillow, and she didn't know that she had been sleeping with the wolf for the past nine years.

Wei Wan squeezed the mattress under her body tightly, and said the decision she had thought about all night: "Brother, I want to be with Xu Yanyi."

"Absolutely, absolutely!" Wei Guogong said harshly, slapped the table heavily, with a strong evil spirit surging between his eyebrows.

For Wei Wan's decision, Duke Wei and his wife were already mentally prepared, or in other words, even if Wei Wan did not mention it, they would persuade them.

This marriage must be done!

Wei Wan took a deep breath, tried to calmly look at Gu Yanfei again, and said sternly: "After waiting for the matter, my daughter and I will choose another day to thank the girl for saving her life."

If it weren't for Gu Yanfei, their mother and daughter would have been on the road to Huangquan long ago, and they would have died inexplicably.

This kindness, she wrote down.

Xu Yan is the dignified Marquis of Ji'an, a super-ranked noble, and his ancestors' achievements are vivid in his eyes. If he insisted on those remarks, Duke Wei would not be able to shout and kill unless he was fighting for the title. Gu Feiyan was actually very curious about how the Weiguo Guild would deal with it. Based on what she had heard of Weiguo Gong's temperament, she probably wouldn't swallow it.

Gu Yanfei thought to himself, and mentioned a few more things about the monument and tablet, and told them to name the baby girl before burial, and then set off back to Beijing.

Thinking that she didn't return overnight because of her own affairs, Mrs. Wei Guogong felt very sorry and insisted that she should go back in person.

is also a small matter, Gu Yanfei did not insist, and the two hurriedly rode on the road at the hour of the hour.

This village is about 20 miles away from the capital, not too far, but the road is rough, and it took nearly an hour to return to the capital.

The clouds in the sky were dispelled by the morning sun, and it was already three poles in the sun.

Gu Yanfei saw from a distance on the official road outside the West City Gate, all those pedestrians, chariots and horses were driven to both sides of the official road by the city gate guards, and a road was left in the middle.

The passers-by on the official road whispered in twos and threes, talking a lot, and the people looked up with their necks raised.

Gu Yanfei slowly dismounted from the horse, raised his eyes to look inside the West City Gate, took a closer look, and saw Gu Yuan wearing a crimson official robe in a group of people dozens of meters away.

Gu Yuan rode straight on a sturdy black horse, with a stern appearance and a long sword across his waist, looked around vigilantly, and directed a team of Luan Yi guards to clear the road near the city gate.

Inside the city gate, another group of people surrounded the other two young people like stars and the moon, and rushed towards the direction outside the city.

The two young men rode side by side at the front, one was wearing an apricot-yellow python robe, handsome and picturesque, and the other was wearing a blue lapel Hu uniform, rough and sassy, ​​it was Chu Yi and Bailiyin, the third prince of Nanyue.

The mighty team of thirty or forty people attracted everyone's attention.

The pedestrians on the side of the road looked at Chu Yi and the others excitedly, each with a burning gaze and splendid expressions on their faces, as if boiling water became more lively.

"That is His Highness the First Prince. He looks so handsome, like a **** descending from the earth."

"Yes, yes, compared to the three princes of Nanyue, our eldest prince is like a **** in the sky."

"The third prince of Nanyue has been here for a long time, why are you still staying in the capital?!"

“…”

Various voices in the crowd are mixed, one after another.

Gu Yuan was in charge of guarding Chu Yi's safety. He looked around and heard from all directions, and immediately noticed Gu Yanfei on a red horse outside the city.

Gu Yuan frowned slightly, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look at the sky.

It's not yet time.

Why did my sister come back from outside the city early in the morning?

Is this going out early in the morning, or...not returning all night? !

Gu Yuan's thin lips pursed slightly, his right hand clenched the reins in his hand, the corners of his eyes were pressed, and he thought: He must go back to the mansion today.

"Yan Fei, isn't this your eldest brother?" Mrs. Wei Guogong restrained her horse, stopped beside Gu Yanfei, raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Yuan at the gate of the city.

"It's my eldest brother." Gu Yanfei replied with a little guilty conscience.

A rare embarrassment appeared on her little face, and her eyes wandered.

Since Gu Yuan was on duty at Luanyiwei, he basically lived in the palace for eight out of ten days, and rarely returned to the palace.

When Gu Yanfei left with the people from Duke Wei's mansion yesterday, he deliberately left Juan Bi in the mansion and instructed her: If eldest brother returns to the mansion last night, tell him that she is out; if eldest brother does not come back, don't let anyone Say.

However, man is not as good as God!

Gu Yanfei sighed secretly in his heart.

Looking at the appearance of the elder brother, it is obvious that he must not have returned to the house last night, and the luck of giving birth to her was too bad. It was a rare night without returning home, and the elder brother was caught on the spot.

Gu Yanfei coquettishly showed an overly bright smile at Gu Yuan who was not far away, and waved at him flatteringly as a greeting.

Mrs. Wei Guogong saw the subtle changes in Gu Yanfei's expression in her eyes, thinking that when this girl faced Xu Yan with her heroic appearance and self-confidence, she couldn't help but find it interesting.

It turns out that the little girl looks like this in front of her elder brother!

Mrs. Wei Guogong silently covered her mouth and laughed softly, her eyes softened by three points.

Seeing Luanyi Guard and the city gate guards coming to clear the road ahead, Gu Yanfei and Mrs. Wei Guo steered to the side of the official road.

Mrs. Wei Guo moved to Gu Yanfei's side, bit her ear and said, "The eldest prince just received a negotiating errand with the Yue Kingdom two days ago... The third prince Baili wants the blueprint of the new type of flintlock gun."

Thinking that Duke Wei told her that the emperor had taken a fancy to Gu Yanfei as the first prince concubine, the corners of Mrs. Wei's lips curled up, so she simply took this opportunity to talk about court affairs with Gu Yanfei.

"In order to return to Beijing in exchange for the eldest prince, the emperor promised that the sages of the Yue Kingdom would donate the blueprint of the flintlock gun to the Yue Kingdom, and the third prince of Baili came for this purpose..."

Bai Liyin, the third prince of Nanyue, has been in the capital for two months.

In fact, as early as a few years ago, Jin Shang fulfilled his agreement with the sages of the Yue Kingdom, and gave the blueprint of the Suifa gun to Bailiyin in front of the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

But Bailiyin did not accept the blueprint. Instead, he proposed to the court that he wanted the blueprint of the latest flintlock gun. For this, Yue Guo was willing to pay more gold.

However, the emperor categorically rejected the proposal.

And Bailiyin is obviously not willing to give up easily. After going back and forth, back and forth, it has been delayed until now. Seeing that it will be February in a few days, Bailiyin still stays in the capital and does not leave. He even represents the saint of Yue Kingdom. It was proposed that the Huangshuiyang sea area could be returned to Jingguo as a condition.

This Huangshuiyang sea area was ceded to Yue by the late emperor.

Two days ago, the emperor handed over the task of negotiating with Yue to Chu Yi.

If this were to change as usual, those officials of the aristocratic family who supported King Kang would never sit back and watch this kind of errand concerning the two countries handed over to Chu Yi, and they would definitely come out to oppose it. relative battle.

But today is different from the past.

Recently, King Kang Chuyou was busy preparing for the big wedding. The officials of King Kang's faction were in a mess. Not only did they damage Yu and Feng families, but Yuan Zhe, the son of the Yuan clan, was still in jail. There were a group of envoys, and the envoys were aggressive, causing Xiao Shoufu and other aristocratic family officials to be a little bit overwhelmed, and they couldn't ignore the opposition for a while.

So, Chu Yi took the errand smoothly.

After Mrs. Wei had finished talking about these court affairs, she said again with disgust: "I heard from the lord, the three princes of Baili are very annoying and slippery. This morning, I don't know what he is doing again. What the hell!"
