The two were knocking on the peanuts, until it was almost dawn, and the movement in the bedroom was completely inaudible. The guard stood up, opened the door quietly, and Qing Huan came out in disheveled clothes.
"Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." Under the watchful eyes of the guards, Qing Huan went to rest in the darkroom, lay on the bed to recharge her energy, and fell asleep soon after being so tired.
the second day.
The heavy snow stopped suddenly, and the sky was still gloomy. One after another, the carriages arrived at Qin Wuyan's village.
It seems that people from these aristocratic families have colluded together and came here together.
Behind them were the guards of the major families, and the team was mighty and majestic.
Qin Wuyan sat in the conference hall and asked, "Is there anyone from the Min family?"
"No." The guard shook his head.
Qin Wuyan nodded: "Didn't Min Huizhu rest here last night, call her here, and discuss with the heads of these aristocratic families."
The guard hurried to knock on the door and woke Min Huizhu up.
Min Huizhu woke up, opened the door after washing and grooming, her whole face was radiant, like the sun burning in the sky, more and more radiant.
Hearing that the patriarchs of all the major families have arrived, only the Min Mansion did not send anyone over, Min Huizhu grabbed the jade pendant on her waist and stuffed it to the guard: "Take this and go to my father, he will know what to do."
The guard took the jade pendant and left in a hurry.
Another person brought Min Huizhu into the meeting hall.
The meeting hall was already full of people, all of them were old men who were about the same age as Min Zhihang, and they all knew the saintess, and when they saw the saintess suddenly appear here, they immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.
Qin Wuyan raised his eyelids: "Min Er Patriarch passed away, Patriarch Min was devastated, and Patriarch Min Shao was in poor health, so we asked Miss Min Family to come here on behalf of the Min Family to discuss the candidate for the next High Priest... ..”
…
For three days in a row, Qin Wuyan did not return to Zhuangzi.
Zhuang Xiaoyu was still the same as usual, going out for a stroll during the day, buying a lot of things, resting in the same restaurant when she was tired from shopping, and returning to Zhuangzi after eating, her life seemed to be uneventful.
After returning to the bedroom and locking the door behind her, Zhuang Xiaoyu opened the letter that the waiter in the shop secretly slipped to her with trembling hands.
The letter was indeed written by Min Rui himself, and he also promised to help her find Zhuang Minghao, so that she should not worry too much. The last two paragraphs of the letter are all words of comfort to her.
After reading it, Zhuang Xiaoyu threw the letter into the brazier, seeing the letter paper turning into black ash little by little in the burning charcoal basin, a stone fell from his heart.
Zhuang Xiaoyu gets up early every day, and routinely asks the housekeeper, "Will Ah Yan come back today?"
The butler shook his head: "I don't know, I won't know until later when the commander comes back with a letter."
Zhuang Xiaoyu stood at the window, looking at the misty sky, the melancholy in his eyes was lingering.
The yard was filled with joyful red, and the butler was calling the servants to hang lanterns under the eaves, and red silk cloth was hung on the plaques in each room.
It's New Year's Eve!
But her father still didn't seem to have the slightest intention of taking her back, and her elder brother's whereabouts were still unknown.
Qin Wuyan hasn't shown up for almost half a month. I don't know if he will come back to accompany her on New Year's Eve night.
Zhuang Xiaoyu was thinking wildly, when she heard hurried footsteps, Yu Sui's voice was filled with anxiety: "Miss, it's not good, the housekeeper sent someone over, saying that the high priest is dying soon."
With a "bang", the porcelain cup in Zhuang Xiaoyu's hand fell to the ground, and his body was smashed to pieces.
