Chapter 253 Haunted
It's especially cool at night.
Master Cheng put a warm cage under his feet, but no one came to add charcoal for a while. He looked at the yamen in the yard and felt extremely annoyed. He was the son-in-law's father after all, so they dared to humiliate him like this.
Well, he will return all the suffering he suffered tonight to the Wei family in a few hours. He doesn't want to deal with the Wei family, so he let the Wei family take advantage of the rebellious son to be aggressive.
It’s a pity that Master Cheng felt a little cold when he remembered Yuan’s thoughtful and thoughtful appearance on weekdays.
Just as Master Cheng was about to get angry and asked his servants to change to a warm cage, he heard a terrible cry from the yard. It was obvious that the yamen was punished.
"Mrs. I sent us down to rest. Only Huixiang was with her. Huixiang was the eldest maid next to her and brought it from her parents' home. She was the most trusted by her wife on weekdays. When we left, Huixiang was talking to her in the room."
"It's true, I haven't lie."
Master Cheng frowned. The Wei family began to abuse lynching. It was outrageous. He was just a declining relative who was lawless.
The servant's voice became less and less. Master Cheng got up and wanted to walk over and listen more clearly, but he felt a pair of eyes looking at him in the darkness. Master Cheng turned his head and found Master Cheng Er standing behind him.
Master Cheng was startled and said with a straight face: "What are you doing here, your child?"
Mr. Cheng walked forward and saluted Master Cheng: "Does my father know if the yamen have a result? Can you catch the murderer who killed his mother?"
Hearing this, Master Cheng immediately said, "What are you saying? Your mother hanged herself, so how could there be any murderer? It's your elder brother and Zhao. If it weren't for them, how could your mother have had a short opinion?"
Mr. Cheng thought for a moment and then said, "My father saw Huixiang beside his mother at noon. Did Huixiang say anything to his father?"
Master Cheng frowned and looked around with caution: "Who told you that I saw Huixiang? Don't talk nonsense here."
Mr. Cheng's eyes changed: "Someone saw Huixiang at home. After his mother hanged herself, Huixiang went to find her father to come over."
Master Cheng's eyes drifted: "The yamen is investigating the case now, so we will say something in the future."
Mr. Cheng's eyes were even redder: "What's the matter with my father hiding it from his son?"
Master Cheng suddenly felt angry: "What's wrong with you? Are you crazy if you gain or lose? Now your family is in chaos, and you're making trouble here again. Come back to your room."
Mr. Cheng looked at the Yuan yard, and Huixiang was locked in the wing room and was being interrogated by the yamen: "My father refused to say so, I'll ask Huixiang."
Master Cheng's face turned ugly when he heard this: "Stop, did anyone say something? Don't be instigated. No matter when you are the Cheng family, we are all father and son, we can talk about our affairs behind closed doors and not let outsiders laugh at them."
"Isn't I your son? Isn't my surname Cheng the same? We only have one father, but my father has other sons. My mother disappeared in Shanxi back then, and my father immediately took his stepmother. Now that the stepmother is dead, my father can carry it to fill in the house again, and children will be born at that time. Dad, are you right?"
Master Cheng turned around and saw Cheng Yi. There was no expression on Cheng Yi's face, but he just looked at Master Cheng with a steady look.
"All the opposite," Master Cheng kicked the chair in front of him away, "This is the Cheng family, I am the head of the family. What do you all want to do?"
Cheng Yi suddenly showed a tired expression on his face: "The father is kind and filial to his son for so many years, and now he just wants to ask for the truth."
"Do you still have the morality of father and son?" Master Cheng looked at Cheng Yi fiercely, "You unfilial son who is in chaos, I will study your book in front of the saint after dawn and expel you from the Cheng family."
Cheng Yi walked to the chair silently, reached out to help the chair up, and sat on it: "The son is waiting for his father there."
The sound from the yard came into the wing room, and Huixiang, who was kneeling on the ground, shivered. She raised her head and looked at Lord Wei in the main seat. Lord Wei held the tea and didn't speak, nor did he look at her, but it made her shudder.
The old judge Xue looked at Feng Anping, and Feng Anping immediately mentioned another servant to the room and knelt down. The old judge Xue began to interrogate.
Huixiang was cold all over, and the waiting time was the most difficult. I don’t know when it would be her turn.
...
Aunt Gui knelt in the monastery and burned paper money one by one, while other aunts gathered around, crying, burning incense, and burning paper.
The yamen came to ask about the case. Mrs. Yuan was not allowed to be put into the coffin for the time being, but the funeral must be handled well. As the aunt Gui, she also has to help the old lady, and the wives do these things well.
"Auntie Gui, go to the side room to rest!" The manager's mother stepped forward and said, "It's still long this night, so let's replace it."
Yuan'er, who was crying and his eyes were swollen, immediately stepped forward and helped Aunt Gui up. The master and servant walked into the side room of the yard. The kitchen brought corn porridge and side dishes. Yuan'er put the food on the low table: "My aunt, take a bite."
Aunt Gui shook her head: "Let me go, I can't eat it now."
Yuan'er pursed her lips, and Aunt Gui saw a broken corner of Yuan'er's clothes: "Where are you going?"
Yuan'er lowered her head: "I... I didn't go anywhere, I don't know when... it was broken."
Aunt Gui stopped asking questions and instructed: "Be careful when you are like this and don't cause any more troubles."
Yuan'er responded: "Auntie, take a rest first, I'll go to the yard to take care of you."
Aunt Gui waved his hand to tell Yuan'er to retreat. Just as Yuan'er was about to walk out of the house, Aunt Gui suddenly raised her head: "You must be clear that there are so many people now, don't talk nonsense in front of others."
Yuan'er lowered her head and said, "Don't worry, aunt, I know."
Yuan'er walked out of the house and looked at the fire in the spirit shed. Unconsciously, a manager walked up to him and said, "Go to the small warehouse and get some incense and candles, paper money, and the ones in the spirit shed can't burn them anymore, and the incense cannot be stopped."
Why can't the paper money in the spirit shed burn? Yuan'er pursed her lips: "It's still fine just now."
The manager's mother said, "I don't know what's going on, but you should take a closer look... I looked at it carefully on the road. A little maid got lost in the garden just now and said she couldn't get out of it. She was scared to have her pants. Thanks to the discovery by the maid, otherwise something big would have happened."
The manager's mother said meaningfully: "You have always been polite. Your wife treats you well on weekdays, and I believe there will be no mistakes."
What will happen? Are you lost in the garden? They are all servants of the Cheng family, and you can walk out of the garden with your eyes closed. How can you get lost? The mother in charge said that the wife is kind to her on weekdays. Do you think it is because of the wife? Isn’t that a haunted?
The manager's mother said, "Don't be standing there, go quickly! The sin of breaking the incense will be even greater. Madam must be even more angry. You can do it well, and it will be a waste of your love for you."
After the manager's mother said that, she turned around and left. Yuan'er was stunned for a moment, lifted the light and walked out of the yard.
