The next morning, Fu Heng sent someone to the Pei household to inform them of the news. As expected, in the evening, someone from the Pei household came. They said that they could not find the coffin and only made an appointment to pick it up from the Fu Mansion.
The next day, everyone in the house was dressed in hemp and mourning. There were even white lanterns, paper, horses, candles that would be hung everywhere in the house, as well as other things that would be needed for the funeral. Once the coffin from the Fu Clan was delivered, Xu Minglan poured the "rice cake" that was made from the mixed pearl corn into her mouth. After someone sent Xu Minglan's obituary to a close family member for a while, the mourning hall was quickly set up. The Pei household was in a neat and orderly state as they welcomed their guests. After the three days were up and the Buddhist Monk's fortune settled, they set out on the river. However, they had to deliver them to the ancestral tombs of the people of the Pei Village before they could be buried.
If he were to pass this matter to someone else, the Lady Liang would not be at ease either. Naturally, he would send Pei Fangtong back to his hometown. On the day of farewell, all the relatives and friends on the shore were covered in tears. Lady Liang had done all that he could do, and was finally willing to cry.
Seeing that, Elder Xu could not bear it anymore, and waved his hand at Pei Fangtong, "Go on, in case your mother gets hurt after seeing this."
Pei Fangtong then bowed deeply to the people on the shore, and said with tears: "Then your grandson-in-law will go."
As the boat pulled away, the waves moved far ahead, leaving behind only sounds of sorrow and tears.
Lady Liang slowly woke up but she was already on the carriage. The Zhao kindly advised, "Madam, please take care to hurt your spirit. You can't fall down now. Before you finish all the legal tasks at home, you have to be careful of the lazy servant woman. If the main culprit isn't here, you have to think too much. "
The Lady Liang said, "I can deal with it. Go and bring Xi Chun back to me later. This gluttonous person, as a man, actually dares to come down on Master's face. "
Zhao understood what she meant. Pei Fangtong was not at home right now, so he did not need to wait for his men to return home. In her heart, she was also extremely displeased with Xi Chun, and said hatefully, "This old servant remembers. These foxes, they're all bad people. They're like flies that have seen dung when they see a man, unable to move their eyes away or even take a step forward! "
When the Lady Liang heard him, his entire body let out a cold snort, but after thinking about it, he decided to send someone over tomorrow to sell that Xi Chun off. The master and his servant never thought that when they returned to the Pei Family, they would hear a report from their wife in a hurry. That Xi Chun took advantage of the fact that there were only a few people in his family, and accidentally fell into a well. By the time they realized that the fish had been fished out, they were already long dead, and even their hands and feet were soaked white.
"She must have done something shameful to be unable to find the right answer in time. Otherwise, if no one asks her, why would she feel guilty?" The Zhao said to herself.
This sentence woke Lady Liang up from her stupor. She called all of the servants in the kitchen into the house to ask, and only then did she find out that ever since Xi Chun hooked up with her master last time, she was sent to the kitchen to be heated up. However, there was a woman who recalled this and said, "Ever since she came to the kitchen, she has been using the lard jar exceptionally quickly. In just a few days, it has been shallower than before …"
Lady Liang was regretful. If she had known Xi Chun was such a man, he wouldn't have let her come to the Pei household. She then hated that Xu Minglan was stupid, to think that she had actually sent her to the kitchen with such a big heart! What kind of a place was the kitchen? It was a life threatening place. Not to mention secretly adding lard to her diet, even if she had some connections, she would still be unable to guard against some cathartic poison!
"It's all because I, as her mother, didn't teach her well! Now that you've harmed her life, it's all my fault! " Lady Liang felt his heart ache, and when he heard this, he also felt his heart ache.
"People can't be revived when they are dead, and Madame was able to restrain herself from doing so. That Xi Chun died at a cheap price, I can't even deal with him anymore. " The Zhao sighed.
The Lady Liang said coldly, "Even if he is dead, there is still a way to deal with him. Someone throw the corpse onto the unmarked grave mound, strip off her clothes and throw dirt on top of it. Just tell her to pay with her life for my son's death and never enter the cycle of reincarnation! "
When the old woman heard this, she was shocked. She went out of the room, but her heart was still beating wildly. She sighed: "My god!" He looked like a jade faced Bodhisattva. So he was also a Raksha Night Kill God!
After returning from the Pei household, Xu Mingwei did not even have the time to drink a cup of hot tea when she heard Wan Rong say that Wan Feng had come again. Xu Mingmei had just finished giving birth and hadn't even sat down for a long time, so at the funeral, only the Duke of Qin, who was acting as his brother-in-law, had paid him a visit to pass the time for the funeral.
Her expectations weren't wrong. Wan Feng had indeed come to investigate about Xu Minglan. Xu Mingwei then explained everything he had seen and heard in the Pei family to her in detail, and instructed her, "Now that she is no longer here, speaking any more will only increase your grief. Your master is currently sitting on Yuanzi, and if you can't bear to see tears, go back and try to persuade him otherwise.
Wan Feng's eyes were slightly red as she nodded and agreed.
Xu Mingwei asked the Little Princess if she was more like the Duke of Qin or more like Xu Mingmei. Talking about this, Wan Feng finally had a smile on her face, and replied lightly, "This servant seems to have a 4% chance of being an imperial concubine, and a 60% chance of being a prince. "His appearance is exactly the same as that of a prince."
Xu Mingwei laughed, "That's good too, no one will lose out."
Hearing that, Wan Rong and the rest laughed, and said: "Who would care about that, if they were to actually get serious, how can those families even compare?"
Even Wan Feng was laughing now, talking with Xu Mingwei for a while. Seeing Fu Heng return from Wang Clan's side, he stood up and was about to leave. Xu Mingwei could not let her go, she could only let her see him out.
When Fu Heng entered the door, he was thirsty and asked for water. Xu Mingwei immediately poured tea for him and asked: "Why are you so thirsty, does mother not have any water?"
Fu Heng laughed bitterly, "Don't mention it, as soon as I went over, I was scolded like a dog's blood. I said it was my sister's wedding, and I didn't care at all. In that situation, how could I dare ask her for water? "
Xu Mingwei was unsure if he said these words to make herself care about Fu Ninghui's marriage, and only laughed, "For a person as capable as Mother, to even care about ten marriages, it must be because you haven't been doing anything in the past few days, Mother will only borrow a raft to take revenge on you."
Fu Heng cried out grievances, "It's not like Mother doesn't know what my past few days were for. If not for your filial piety, you would have saved me the trouble of helping me now. "
Xu Mingwei said lightly, "That is the exact theory. When red and white happened, it was not good for others to extend their hands. Originally, I wanted to see Ning Hui off, but I had to do it myself. Big Sister Jin Xi went out on the same day again, and was still worrying about how he would make it back in time. There's no need to think about it anymore, we just gave his a gift, and that's all that matters. "
Fu Heng sighed, "That's also the only way. I can see that my mother isn't in a very good mood these days. Tomorrow, I'll try to persuade her again to ask Second House Aunt or three rooms's aunt for help, so that it would save me some effort. "
Xu Mingwei smiled faintly and did not say anything. If the Wang family was willing to let the Second House and the three rooms interfere in this matter, then when the migraine from before became so severe, they would not have been able to hold it in. After all, they were separated by a room, so she had to be on guard.
He stopped talking.
In the evening, Nanny Xu cooked a few new dishes. She knew that the two of them had to stop eating meat, even the pot was new. She only used fresh vegetables and lily walnuts to fry them with vegetable oil. There was also a serving of Red Braised Meat that tasted almost like real pork. When she carried it onto the table, she almost tricked the two of them into eating it.
Fu Heng laughed, "A woman like you is truly a waste of your talent in our family!"
For a moment, they had to reward each other with silver coins. Each of them was overjoyed.
On the second day, Fu Heng went to see Lady Wang and explained the things that happened. As Xu Mingwei had expected, Lady Wang only said a few perfunctory words before bringing him over. Everyday, she still brought along the Nanny Xue to barely manage the council, thinking that it was not the right time for the daughter of the Xu family to die, if not it would have been easier for Xu Mingwei to help, so she wouldn't be so tired.
Seeing the expression on Fu Heng's face when he returned, Xu Mingwei knew that this matter was not going to work. Inwardly, she couldn't help but sigh. Sometimes, née Wang's actions were really speechless. One moment she was moved by her generous gift to Nan Mu, the next she came to force him into a corner. Even though she knew that she wasn't on friendly terms with Fu Ninghui, and the latter had framed her time and time again, she still wanted to marry her. Wasn't she afraid that she would do something like that? Mrs. Wang's opinion of her mother was overestimated.
As a result, they quietly guarded Xu Minglan's number seven. The Little girl! Little girl in the room also dressed like Xu Mingwei, wearing plain clothes and filial clothes. Fu Heng wanted to walk around outside, but she did not meet with good fortune in other people's houses. She only wore a white handkerchief to express her feelings. The two of them rested peacefully at night. They didn't have to bother with water anymore, leaving Fu Heng with a bald man to go to Shoushan Temple and be a monk. He had been busy these past few days, having to deal with her sister's wedding before a letter from the He Lan family came asking him to write an essay to introduce him to the great scholar, Han Xiyuan. She was so busy that Fu Heng wished she could grow three heads and six arms.
