Mei Fei took him through the group of steles, and finally stopped in front of a large tomb:
"We're here. My whole family of fifty, except my sister, is all here."
This large tomb, where forty-nine people are buried, is not small, but the tombstone is not big. There is only a two-foot-tall simple stele with a few words on it:
Mai clan tomb.
Weeds grew around the family tomb, almost covering the tombstone. But when the three of them got closer, they discovered that there were two dried oranges of different sizes placed in front of the tomb, and one of them had three sticks of incense stuck in it.
There are a few pieces of orange peel not far away. It seems that one of the oranges has been eaten by other creatures or people.
Dong Rui looked at Concubine Mei. She stretched out her hand to wipe off the loose soil on the monument and said, "Occasionally, someone takes the risk of sweeping the monument."
There are always people who remember the goodness of Prime Minister Mai.
Mai Liansheng was designated as a traitor, and those who come here to visit his grave must bear certain risks.
She took out the fruits she bought at the town market and the flowers she picked on the roadside, placed them in front of the monument, and also offered three sticks of incense.
He Lingchuan found a rectangular stone nearby. He didn't know where the tombstone fell, but the words on both sides were worn away.
He pulled out the Fusheng knife, flattened and straightened the stone, and wrote a few words on the stone surface with the tip of the knife:
Mai Gong is eternal.
Then, he dug a hole next to Mai's tombstone, pressed the feldspar in hard, and then dug it into the soil three feet before filling it hard.
Mei Fei was watching from the side, until He Lingchuan drew his sword and wrote, she understood and blinked several times.
After the new monument was erected, He Lingchuan asked Lingguang to take out the cinnabar red paint, mix it with water, and put it in front of Concubine Mei:
"You trace it."
The brush was soaked in vermilion, and Mei Fei slowly raised the brush to trace the inscription in red.
She described just these few words very slowly, every stroke with utmost care.
After how many years, she was finally able to visit the graves in an open and honest manner, and she was finally able to tell her parents and clan members the news that her great revenge had been avenged!
Mei Fei's hands suddenly shook a little, and a little water stain flowed down her smooth cheek.
The more it flows, the more it flows.
She suddenly dropped her pen, hugged the tombstone, and cried loudly!
The crows not far away were frightened by her cry and flew away.
Even He Lingchuan, who had a heart of stone that he had developed over many years, could hear the pathos and pain of the cuckoo crying for blood.
Over the past eight years, I have experienced many hardships and hardships.
This weak woman's road to revenge was filled with blood and tears every step of the way.
Black Wolf stayed by her side, licking the tears off her face.
After a long while, Concubine Mei slowly stopped talking, took out the spade, dug a small hole beside the Mai family's tomb, put in two plain skirts, a wine glass, and a pair of straw sandals, then filled it with soil again, forming a small hole.
Small cenotaph.
Dong Rui was confused: "Whose tomb is this for?"
"My adoptive parents, they live next to Xishan Racecourse."
When she mentioned this, the two of them remembered that more than two years ago, King Wei brought Concubine Mei back from near the Xishan Racecourse, thinking that she was the daughter of an ordinary family.
Then, Mei Fei must have a superficial "family" at Xishan Racecourse.
"Although I am not their biological daughter, they treat me as their own. I actually felt the warmth of my relatives in a fake home." Mei Fei recalled the past and narrowed her eyes with a smile, "The food cooked by my adoptive mother is good.
To eat, my adoptive father hid a small bottle of rice wine in the woodshed. When the glutton came up, he would take a few sips secretly on the pretext of going to the toilet. My adoptive mother and I both knew, but we didn't tell anyone."
She pointed to a big stone and asked He Lingchuan: "Mr. He, can you please write a monument for them?"
He Lingchuan pulled out the Fusheng knife: "Come."
He wrote a line on the tablet for Concubine Mei:
Zhao Aqiang, the tomb of Ru Xiaozhen and his wife.
After the monument was erected, Concubine Mei served them fruits meticulously.
Dong Rui asked: "When did they pass away?"
"A few days ago." Concubine Mei lit three sticks of incense for her adoptive parents. "When King Wei ordered me to be wanted, both of my adoptive parents hanged themselves and their bodies were taken away by the palace guards."
"They had known that this day would come and were already prepared." She kowtowed three times respectfully, "They have a big feud with Nangong Yan, but Chief Nangong doesn't know it."
Even if Nangong Yan knew it, he probably wouldn't care.
Then, she burned paper money in both tombs.
This burning lasted for more than a quarter of an hour.
He Lingchuan and the other two did not rush.
After burning the last piece of paper money, she wiped the tears on her face, turned to the two of them and smiled: "I'm fine, my wish is over, I can go with you two."
There was still a little paper dust stuck to the corner of Mei Fei's lips, but she showed a relaxed and innocent smile for the first time. "How many people have been wronged and suffered forever, but they have never had a chance to wash away their hatred. Compared to them, I am so happy."
The burden on her was gone and she could feel at ease.
"We both have to go east, so we can't bring a burden with us." He Lingchuan took out the dagger and threw it back to her, "Let's go our separate ways here."
Concubine Mei grabbed the dagger with disbelief on her face: "You guys, won't you arrest me and bring me to justice?"
"You are free." Looking at her beautiful round eyes, He Lingchuan smiled brightly, "Isn't this what you have been striving for?"
The perpetrator of this case is gone, and Emperor Mou and Lingshan are no longer pursuing the case. As the entrusted party, he has no reason to do it.
After saying these words, Mei Fei's eyes and face turned red.
She put away the dagger and gave them a smile: "Thank you."
This smile is like a hundred flowers blooming, creating fragrance in the morning light.
Dong Rui couldn't help but ask: "Where are you going? Peng Guo's wanted order for you has not been lifted yet."
"I don't know either, I haven't thought about it yet." Concubine Mei glanced at He Lingchuan, her smoky eyes seemed to be able to speak, "When it comes to revenge, I only think about revenge."
She was free and seemed to be at a loss.
The sky is high and the sky is high, where is she going?
"A woman like you will definitely find a direction." After He Lingchuan finished speaking, he urged Dong Rui to get on the horse, "The sky is high and the water is long, we will see you later."
Dong Rui was still reluctant to leave and looked back at Concubine Mei.
Such a beautiful woman is really rare.
The horse hadn't even taken two steps when Concubine Mei's voice came from behind again:
"Wait a moment!"
Dong Rui quickly stopped his horse.
He Lingchuan looked back at her: "What else are you going to explain? Just tell me."
Mei Fei bit her lip and suddenly said: "I'm sorry, I lied to you before about Ming Dengzhan."
The horse snorted, and He Lingchuan patted the horse's neck to comfort it: "What's wrong with Ming Dengzhan?"
Sure enough, Mei Fei still has clues here.
"Actually, all I know about the inside story of Ming Dengzhan can be seen from the jade slips collected by my father. At that time, my father spent a lot of effort to keep the jade slips usable. There is a notebook in it, and the author is called
As 'Zhenren Chuoyun'."
He Lingchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, gesturing for her to continue, but he was actually very happy.
Chuoyun Zhenren!
The Spider Demon Sisters mentioned this person when they gave him the key points of popular science about Ming Lan.
