The white silk of Xie Mansion flutters.
Many people passed by the gate and couldn't help but whisper.
"Everyone in the Yun family has been slaughtered. It's too tragic. I never believe that the Yun family will rebel."
"Now that Dongling has invaded our coastal city of Jin Dynasty, General Yun went to fight the enemy, but the emperor killed General Yun. There is no general in Jin Dynasty."
"The Dongling Kingdom is coming fiercely, but the emperor has killed loyal generals. Our Jin Dynasty is about to end!"
"Hey, the Xie family has some conscience and buried the Yun family daughter generously..."
“……”
Amid everyone's discussion, a young man wearing black clothes walked over.
He looked at the plaque above his head, which read the word "Xie Mansion". Mr. Xie was a third-rank official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and his son was Xie Shi'an, the chief minister of the dynasty who was in the midst of a stroke.
He knew that the Xie family had good relations with King Gongxi and had little contact with his father.
The death of the Xie family's mistress, logically speaking, has nothing to do with him.
For some reason, there seemed to be a strange force pulling him, making him step in involuntarily.
There were white lanterns in the west of the yard. The servants looked sad. When they walked in, the main room was the mourning hall. A coffin was placed there. Many people were kneeling in front of the coffin, all with their heads lowered, burning paper.
The young man approached step by step and walked to the coffin.
The first person kneeling was Song Yin. After Xie Shian entered the cabinet, she often followed Xie Shian to the palace for banquets, so she naturally knew the people in front of her.
She quickly saluted: "I have met Prince Pingxi."
With that said, she stood up, took three sticks of incense and handed them to Chu Hongyu's hands.
"Good work."
Chu Hongyu lit the incense and bowed three times... For some reason, he felt that bowing was not enough.
He looked at the coffin, his eyes were inexplicably sour, and an inexplicable sadness kept rising and fermenting in his heart.
He couldn't control it and suddenly fell to his knees on the ground.
He kowtowed three times in succession.
Song Yin and everyone in the Xie family were stunned.
It was already surprising that the prince of Prince Pingxi came to express his condolences to his mother.
This prince actually knelt before his mother's spirit.
Generally speaking, only children need to kowtow before the spirit of the deceased...
"Your Majesty, I can't help you." Mrs. Yuan quickly helped the person up, "You are a noble man, get up quickly, don't hurt Chu'er."
Chu Hongyu stood up.
He lowered his head and gently wiped the tears that overflowed involuntarily from the corners of his eyes.
"Prince Pingxi." Xie Shi'an's voice came closer and closer, "The prince is giving such a great gift, and my mother may not be able to afford it."
Chu Hongyu hid the sadness in her eyes and said calmly: "I passed by the Xie family and came here to pay my respects. The Yun family has been loyal for generations, and so are the girls of the Yun family. She certainly deserves it."
"Prince Pingxi's palace is also in troubled times now, and the prince can still be so leisurely." Xie Shi'an said calmly, "If there is anything you need help with, the prince can just ask."
Chu Hongyu's face darkened slightly.
After something happened to the Yun family three months ago, my father began to campaign for the Yun family to overturn the case. However, before the Yun family's affairs were found out, my father was accused of hiding weapons.
As a result, my father was thoroughly investigated by Dali Temple and was even banned from the palace by the imperial grandfather.
Recently, he has been cooperating with Dali Temple to investigate the case in order to return his father and the Yun family's innocence.
Chu Hongyu pursed his lips, turned and left Xie's house. When he walked outside the door, he couldn't help but look back and look at the coffin...
As soon as he stepped forward, a man stumbled in from the door.
Xie Shi'an raised his eyes, went up to meet him, cupped his hands and said, "Marquis Xuanwu."
Xuanwu Hou Qin Mingheng is almost ten years old this year, but he can still see the graceful demeanor of his youth. At this moment, he rushed to the coffin with a look of confusion on his face.
"Yun Chu..."
His voice was hoarse to the extreme, and he murmured with his lips open, not knowing what he was talking about.
Xie Shi'an frowned.
When attending palace banquets in the past, he found that Marquis Xuanwu often stared at his mother, which was probably due to his mother's peach blossom debt when she was young.
He said calmly: "Go and ask father to come."
Xie Jingyu was drinking.
He always thought of Yun Chu's eyes that could not be closed, and felt deeply afraid, so he could only use strong alcohol to numb himself.
"Yulang." He took the wine cup away from his hand and couldn't help but say, "Yunchu died, is Yulang so sad?"
Xie Jingyu's eyes were empty: "You don't understand, you don't understand..."
From the wedding night, he betrayed Yun Chu and made Yun Chu a widow for the rest of his life.
Outsiders say that the Xie family’s mistress is sterile. That’s right. He doesn’t even touch her. How could she give birth?
She regarded all his children as her own and tried her best to raise them, but in the end, he united all his children and forced her to death.
He knew clearly that the Yun family did not rebel, and she was not the daughter of the guilty minister. It was the Xie family and King Gongxi who planned all this... The Yun family was wronged, she was wronged.
The old man said that people who die unjustly will become ghosts and seek their lives.
"Lingying, have you seen Yunchu?" Xie Jingyu looked at the sky, "Look, she is looking at me there, she hates me..."
He was so frightened that he turned pale: "Yulang, you, don't talk nonsense, Yunchu is the daughter of a guilty minister, she deserves to die..."
"Yes, she deserves to die!" Xie Jingyu picked up the wine cup and threw it at an empty shadow in the sky, "Get out, Yunchu, get out, don't look at me..."
The first servant came to report: "Sir, Marquis Xuanwu is here."
Xie Jingyu came out of his fear.
He got up and walked towards the mourning hall. When he saw Qin Mingheng lying on the coffin, he was filled with anger. He raised his fist and walked towards Qin Mingheng: "It's all you! If it weren't for you, Yun Chu and I wouldn't be like this!"
"You hit me?" Qin Mingheng bowed his head and couldn't believe it. He raised his leg and kicked him hard. "Yun Chu is so blind that he married a scum like you! You still dare to hit me. Where did you come from? How dare you attack me!"
He picked up Xie Jingyu's collar and punched her hard several times.
The Xie family members rushed forward and said, "Marquis Xuanwu, calm down. If you have something to say, please talk to me. Don't do anything..."
"Get out of here!" Xie Jingyu said coldly, "This is a private matter between me and Marquis Xuanwu. You all should stand down!"
Everyone looked at each other and had to temporarily leave the mourning hall.
"You have the guts!" Qin Mingheng picked up Xie Jingyu's collar and pressed his head in front of the tablet. "Tell me in front of Yunchu's tablet, how did she die?"
Xie Jingyu smiled bitterly: "Does it matter how she died? She is already dead."
"Beast!" Qin Mingheng punched the other person in the face again, "I regret it. I should have told Yun Chu what happened back then. Then she would have divorced without hesitation, instead of being harmed by the Xie family. life!"
"Yes, I should have told Yun Chu earlier that it was you who took away her innocence on their wedding night!" Are you afraid of the consequences, so you keep it secret? You call me a scumbag, a beast, but what about you? Who are you? Everyone in the capital knows that you, Marquis Xuanwu, love your wife as much as she lives, but who knows, you secretly He raised two aunts who were exactly the same as Yunchu, and secretly gave birth to a few children..."
"shut up!"
Qin Mingheng used all his strength to punch and kick Xie Jingyu.
