Seeing his husband fall silent, the Mrs. Bi quietly asked: "Did you believe from the beginning that he was a part of the business and wanted him to avenge his mother? Do you want him to watch over me until I die a horrible death?"
"Nonsense …" Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi glared at him, "Not to mention that his industry is already dead, if he really is, I cannot allow him to turn my family upside down, and cannot allow him to destroy my Bi Family's gate."
"Alright, then don't just sit there and wait for death. You have to take the initiative." The Mrs. Bi held his husband's arm tightly, and said with a fierce look in his eyes, "There are many people that the Emperor and the General Shen know, who would care about an unknown brat? You want me to live a peaceful life, you want to live a peaceful life, drive him out, and never let him step into the capital. I'll give you three days. If he's still here after three days, I'll go home and look for him. "
The Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi said coldly: "Your father is busy with his own things, he will not care about you."
Mrs. Bi laughed: "Really?"
Although everyone knew from the noble officials and wives that the Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi was a concubine in the palace, she did not have a low birth.
She was the daughter of the Marquis and Minister Bi from back then loved her wholeheartedly at first sight. Afterwards, she was willing to take her body as a concubine and marry into Bi Family.
In the end, it was only the original Mrs. Bi who made arrangements and personally went to the palace to plead with Empress Qiu for help. Only then did the heaven's clan step forward, causing the marquis to nod his head and agree to the marriage.
The current Mrs. Bi originally married into his family with Bi Zhenye in her womb, but the original wife, who had been infertile for many years, was actually pregnant when she gave birth to Bi Zhenye.
However, mother and son were born for a shallow reason. When they were six years old, their mother had left Ershan behind and passed away.
At this time, Bi Zhenye had arrived at the Inner Academy and gave the date cake to his grandmother, who had already gone to bed.
"Young Master, it's been hard on you." "Old Madem's character has been bad lately, and he always thinks of some strange things. Thank you for your hard work, but this servant knows that you are the most filial. However, the examination is going to be held in a few months' time. Your daily work in the academy is also very tiring. Otherwise... As for Madam, I'm afraid you won't be able to take it anymore. "
Bi Zhenye said with a kind temperament, "It's fine, being filial is what I should do, if Grandma is happy, it's fine."
He left the inner courtyard and brought along his servants. However, his heart was extremely heavy. His mother could no longer take it anymore. She had just lost her composure and was no longer as gentle and virtuous as she usually was.
However, even Bi Zhenye himself thought it was strange. His grandmother never sent him out to do such a small thing, not even allowing him to ride his horse outside the door.
He was afraid that his horse would fall, that he would be run into outside, and that his food would be dirty outside. Since he was young, Bi Zhenye had always been a flocking of servants everywhere. There were many people who laughed at him amongst the descendants of noble officials.
He let out a long sigh. The problem was whether or not Ling Chen would be able to get out of this industry.
From his point of view, if yes, then he would take them home and serve his parents and his grandmother together. If not, it would be a beautiful thing for Ling to be able to study and become an official in the same dynasty and serve the country and the people.
It just so happened that things were not that simple. Bi Zhenye was not stupid.
He had been seven years old when his brother had suddenly gone missing, when his grandmother had been so ill and his family's uncles and aunts had all come to prepare for him. When he had gone to the main courtyard, his mother had hugged his sister happily, and she had laughed so happily.
Later on, her mother was righted and her father was promoted to office by the emperor. She became the dignified and honorable prime minister's wife.
It was deep into the night, and the manor was extremely peaceful. In front, he could see his parents' main courtyard, and in the back, he could see his grandmother's inner courtyard.
But right now, Ershan did not have the mood to retrieve anything from the Bi’s Mansion. It had been two months since then, and it had been almost two months.
The letter that Lian Yi had delivered, was getting more and more perfunctory. Every time, she would say that she was safe, but avoided the point and did not answer his questions.
Ershan could no longer sit still. In his life, it was not only revenge, but his home, the Baisha Town.
He had already made up his mind that if he still could not get news of his family by the end of the month, he would leave school and return home at the beginning of April.
When he returned in early April, he would be back in time for August anyway, so as not to delay his request for a title or his visit home.
Coincidentally, the next morning, after he went downstairs to eat breakfast, he wanted to go to school. A few merchants from afar came to the inn, and they were very tired. They called for the shopkeeper to prepare some food, then went to sleep.
Originally, Ershan did not care, just as he was about to leave after eating breakfast, he heard the two merchants say: "The Manager Ling is really gone, I heard from the Mighty Escort Office's people that they went to offer their condolences, the Madam brought them to the back of the mountain, but it is only a tomb so that the Jianghu brothers can burn their corpses and scatter them into the river. Sigh … Manager Ling is such a loyal person, we, who run the business at the pier, are all willing to deposit the goods there with him.
"What did you say?" Ershan rushed over and stood behind the two of them, and pulled their lapels, "What did you say? Who died? "
The people in the tavern thought that Ershan wanted to fight with other people, so they all went up to persuade him. This time, he explained everything clearly, and then said: "Little bro, don't get excited, we are just listening to the mighty escort company, they their division is on the street in front, you can go and ask them yourself."
Ershan's chest image had been ripped apart, as though he could vomit blood at any moment. He threw his backpack and rushed towards the mighty escort company, while the rest of the people in the inn followed suit.
The escort company confirmed that Ling Chaofeng had indeed died, but when they went to offer their condolences, the lady had invited them to the capital, so they could not tell Ershan.
Ershan returned to the tavern in a daze, went upstairs to get a few things, and then went downstairs to walk outside.
The shopkeeper came up and asked, "If you want to go back to Baisha Town, instead of taking leave from school, I'm afraid it might affect your future exams."
Ershan's gaze was cold, he did not say a word, and walked forward without even turning his head back.
He only felt dizzy and dizzy today, and wanted to pull up the curtain to take a breather. However, he saw that Ling Yu was just leaving, and did not wear the uniform, but had instead donned ordinary clothes and carried a bundle, as if she was going far away.
"Stop." With Bi Zhenye's orders, he jumped off the horse carriage and ran towards Ling.
"Where are you going?" After following Ershan, Bi Zhenye went straight to the point, "Ling Yu, you want to leave the capital?"
When Ershan looked back and saw that it was him, he felt a strange sense of desolation. They were both born from the same father, but there was such a huge difference in their fates.
He originally thought that the heavens would at least give him a bit of preferential treatment by sending him to an inn, but the shopkeeper actually died young.
He was not even thirty years old, and he still had such a good years to live. Just what had he done wrong in order to cruelly take away his life?
What about the people in the inn? Right now, compared to claiming back everything that should have been his, he wanted to protect his true home even more.
"There's something at home. I need to leave the capital immediately." Ershan looked at Bi Zhenye, "Coincidentally, I met you, so I have to take a leave of absence from my school, and take my leave from you, Sir. Time is of the essence, I cannot delay this matter for even a moment. "Goodbye."
He quickly finished his sentence, and without turning his head, he left, not caring about whether Bi Zhenye would pass the message for him, he only wanted to rush home to see his family, and did not care about anything else.
Bi Zhenye was confused, but he understood what Ling Qian had said. After returning to his studies, he asked for leave on his behalf.
However, today was the day when the results of the previous exam were announced. In the academy, a big exam was held just like the previous exam. Everyone was looking forward to today's result.
After Mister released the rankings, as expected, Ling Qian was indeed in first place. Bi Zhenye was only ranked eleventh, and even if he was eligible to participate in the Hall Competition in five months, he would still not be able to get the first rank.
When Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi returned home with such a result, he naturally poured cold water on his son, scolding him until he was covered in cuts and bruises.
Unexpectedly, his daughter-in-law exploded at that moment, and questioned his mother-in-law in front of everyone. "You send Zhenye to run all over the place every day just to study for you, aren't you afraid of delaying him at that time? I hope Mother can let this grandson go and let Zhenye study in peace. Whatever you want to do, just send your daughter-in-law over, even if it means mountains of blades or seas of fire, your daughter-in-law will not refuse you. "
She suddenly kneeled in front of Old Madem, as if carrying out a great righteousness: "If my daughter-in-law is disrespectful, I hope mother will forgive me. I only beg that you do not torment Zhenye, I beg you."
Everyone in the room had awkward looks on their faces. Old Madem's expression changed because of anger, as he supported the mama beside him, he sneered: "It's a pity, you only care for your own son, you won't care about my grandson."
These words were unclear, but those who understood immediately understood what the old lady meant. The missing second young master was her grandson, but he was not the wife's son.
Bi Zhenye did not want his family to become restless, he could only blame his inferior knowledge. If only he could take care of all of his grandmother's chores, and get a satisfactory result, he would not have ended up like that.
"Grandma, it's your grandson's own fault. Mother, she's too disappointed and excited. She didn't mean to offend you." Bi Zhenye stepped forward to persuade her, supporting her grandmother, "Grandma, I'll send you back to rest. Father won't scold me, he's just annoyed that I can't live up to his expectations."
The back of her hand was covered in flesh. She did not stop caring about her big grandson just because her little grandson had returned, but hoped that industry would return to this house, that her two grandsons would support each other harmoniously. That way, Bi Family would definitely become more and more prosperous, but unfortunately …
That day, she had forcefully taken off Ershan's clothes, and found the birthmark on his child's body.
However, Ershan begged his grandmother to keep it a secret for him. He hoped that after becoming the top scholar, he could openly return to the Bi Family to fight for his dead mother.
Old Madem did indeed have his own selfish thoughts, wanting to affect his eldest grandson's studies, so that he could give his the top scholar to his younger brother, but in reality, she was just too anxious and confused. Without Zhenye and the other family's children, there would be people beyond the borders of the world, so why would she waste his precious treasures like this?
"Zhenye, Grandma has let you down." Old Madem's tears fell like rain as he followed his grandson and left.
In the study room, Mrs. Bi was kneeling on the ground, gasping for breath. The servants had already left, and Hanxi did not dare to shoot his gun at this time, only Grand Councilor Counselor-in-chief Bi was able to advise him against it.
However, Mrs. Bi shook off her husband's hand as he looked back and glared at him, "Three days. There is still one more day. I will wait for your reply."
A thousand miles away, in the Ling Xiao Inn, there were many people who came to offer their condolences after receiving the grievous news of Ling Chaofeng's death.
There was no memorial hall in the tavern, and no memorial tablets. Since her friends had come, she did not know how to entertain them, so she set up a memorial grave at the back of the mountain so that everyone could pay for the incense.
Most of the people in the Xiaowan didn't recognize each other, but regardless of whether or not there were any grudges between them, coming to this inn was just to mourn Ling Chaofeng and to leave his widow, Xiaowan, with money and money, absolutely nothing bad would happen.
Xiaowan did not dare to take a single cent, but if she did not want those people, she would be angry.
In the blink of an eye, the cellar was filled to the brim with things. Xiaowan and Little Pei came over to clean up, and the son played with the gold ingot as he asked, "Mother, how many friends does father have?"
Xiaowan said, "I don't know either. Mother is very grateful to them, but when will they be able to stop. Mother wants to gradually pull herself together and stop being immersed in the grief of your father's absence, but these people keep coming and reminding me that it's really difficult. "
Little Pei ran over and hugged her, smiling merrily: "Grandma said, mother's complexion has improved over the past few days, she's very relieved."
Xiaowan squatted down and kissed her son's little face. "Mother still needs to raise Big Little Pei, Mother must definitely be fine."
The little guy laughed mischievously, and said in a childish voice, "Mother, Little Pei is hungry …"
It was not until early April that the mourners finally became quiet.
That morning, Xiaowan woke up and opened the door. Coincidentally, Da Qing had brought Susu here, and Xiaowan had scolded her for being restless. While the two of them were conversing, someone on a horse rushed over and brought over a letter to the inn.
The letter was sent by the Mighty Escort Office, saying that they had no choice but to tell Ershan that something had happened at home. When they heard that Ershan had left his studies and returned to the Baisha Town, they came to inform them.
The letter stated that Ershan had left the capital for seven or eight days already. If he was to travel quickly, he would have arrived by now, even by carriage, he might not even be able to return.
"The letter has arrived, but the person hasn't arrived yet." Xiaowan frowned, nothing will happen to Ershan, right?
