Mingxiang stayed with him until midnight, even though he was very sleepy, he still refused to rest alone.
Mingwei had no choice but to go to the cubicle with her and squint for a while.
In the past two days, her heart was cold and angry, and she wanted to burn the house down.
But Ming Sheng and Ming Xiang made her heart feel a little warmer.
It can be seen that in this world, good and bad are never complete, and filth and clarity always go together.
Seeing that it was almost dawn, she quietly got up, washed and dressed under Qiu Yu's service, and ate some steamed buns with tea.
Then before Mingxiang woke up, he went out to keep vigil.
It was overcast today and the sun never came out.
There were only a few people who came to express condolences. People who were close to her had all come, and those who were not close to her were not here to express their condolences.
Mingwei heard two women talking near the memorial shed.
The voice was neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough for her to hear.
"I heard that the girl from the Zhang family twisted her hair to become a sister-in-law."
"Zhang family? Is it the Zhang family in Tong County?"
"That's his home!"
"Okay, why does the Zhang family girl want to be a sister-in-law? I heard last month that the Zhang family made an engagement for her!"
"It was the marriage that caused the trouble! Alas, she was also ignorant. When her parents left and she was fostered at her uncle's house, she accidentally discovered that her uncle had used her own money, and she actually started yelling and said she was going to sue the authorities. She didn't want to
Do you think it’s free to raise her? She’s a girl and she’s not qualified to share the family property.”
"Yes! Her father has no children, so the family property must be distributed to the clan members."
"That's what I'm saying! My uncle has done his duty in raising her. He just needs to marry her off when she gets old. What's more, her uncle still has the final say in her marriage. How can she dare to file a lawsuit? This is simply an act of rebellion."
"Isn't it..."
Mingwei raised his eyes: "Qiu Yu."
"My slave is here."
"Go and tell Second Aunt that someone is making noise in the mourning hall and disturbing my mother."
"This..." Qiu Yu hesitated.
"What?" Ming raised his chin slightly and pursed his lips with a cold tone, "Once my mother leaves, I won't even be able to deal with two servants?"
Qiu Yu immediately said: "Miss Seven, wait a moment, I will ask the madam to punish them!"
With that said, she hurried out.
Mingwei showed a sneer.
She is not stupid, so she naturally knows that these words are meant for her.
But why is this?
The Ming family was powerful. She was an orphan who had lost her mother. Logically speaking, she didn't need to pay much attention to her, so why bother using such low-level means to threaten her.
Suddenly, there were rapid footsteps outside, and the servants ran to the door one after another, as if there was something important.
Mingwei frowned and heard the steward of the outer courtyard shout: "Move quickly! Wang Jia is coming soon."
Wang Jia? Qi Dongjun Wang?
As expected, everyone from the Ming family gathered together, and after a while, Prince Qidong arrived.
Also coming with him was Jiang Wenfeng.
Mingwei heard a gentle man's voice: "What are you doing? Madam, get up quickly! You are an elder, how can I bear this? Today, my king is here to express condolences, and the deceased should be the most important."
The second master said respectfully: "Your Majesty's presence at the lower part of the house makes the whole house glow. Please invite Your Majesty to serve tea inside..."
"I said that I am here to express my condolences, so I naturally have to go to the mourning hall. Mr. Jiang, do you think so?"
"That's what the prince said."
So, a group of people came here cheering.
Prince Qidong took the lead, followed by Jiang Wenfeng, then Magistrate Wu... all the officials from Dongning, big and small, came.
Yang Shu was also among them, but he was squeezed in at the end. Even though he didn't want to be in the limelight, when he appeared, people couldn't help but look at it more.
Mingwei understood. It turned out that the previous conversation between the two maids was because of this.
She sneered inwardly.
This Ming family is really petty, so they can use this method.
"Your Majesty, please come this way."
Prince Qidong is nearly forty years old, and his figure has inherited the height of the Jiang family.
Such a posture, regardless of appearance, is quite majestic.
As soon as he came in, he happened to see Ming Wei in mourning clothes looking up and was startled.
After two breaths, he came back to his senses and said with a faint smile: "This must be the seventh lady, right? I had a chance encounter with the third lady back then, and now that I see her, it's like going back in time, which makes people sigh with emotion."
Everyone suddenly understood and nodded.
Let’s just say, this young lady from the Ming family is certainly beautiful, but who is the prince? How could he lose his composure?
Mingwei sat there on his knees, bowed his head and saluted Prince Qidong, but did not speak.
The second master hurriedly said: "My lord, please forgive me, this child has been a little different from others since he was a child..."
Prince Qidong waved his hand: "Miss Seventh was not rude, why should she apologize?"
So everyone praised the prince for his tolerance and generosity.
Mingwei listened indifferently, her eyes slightly lowered, not looking at anyone.
Even Mr. Jiang didn't let her raise her eyes, as if she wasn't the one who made such a request to Ah Wan earlier.
Ah Wan dressed up as a servant and followed Yang Shu. At this time, taking advantage of the crowd, she quietly said to him: "Isn't she changing her mind? It's better to do this, so as not to become the target of public criticism in the future."
After thinking for a while, he added: "That's not good either. This will cause the young master to be in trouble."
Yang Shu laughed and said, "You should make up your mind first. Don't do this one moment and that one moment."
In fact, he was also very curious about whether Mingwei would do it.
Jiang Wenfeng thought she was redressing her mother's injustice, but Yang Shu knew that she and Mrs. Mingsan were not a real mother and daughter. Is the mother-daughter relationship of just over a month worth getting her into such a big trouble?
It's just that Xuanshi has many more abilities than ordinary women, but she is still in the mortal world after all. If she does this, there will be many hidden dangers in the future.
Then comes the incense.
Starting from the county king, come one by one.
Mingwei looked indifferent and only thanked him once.
The second master kept staring at her.
When everyone finished lighting the incense and saw that she didn't move, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was quite proud of himself. The little girl was a little girl after all, and she would become honest after being scared.
"Your Majesty, please."
Just as he was about to lead everyone out, Mingwei suddenly raised his head.
"Wait a minute!"
The clear girl's voice, with a slight hoarseness, echoed in the mourning hall.
She looked at Jiang Wenfeng and said word by word very clearly: "Sir Jiang, please stay."
Coming.
Yang Shu sighed in his heart, unable to tell whether it was joy or pity.
After all, I made this choice.
Although the friendship was shown, it also caused a lot of trouble in the future.
The second master's heart sank, and he immediately turned back and scolded: "Xiao Qi! The adults took time out of their busy schedules to come here, please don't be rude."
She raised the corner of her mouth with a hint of ridicule, and ignored the second master's reply, only looking at Jiang Wenfeng: "I heard that your Excellency has posted a notice, regardless of men, women, old or young, scholars, farmers, businessmen, if they come to you to complain about injustice, you will accept it, right?
"
"Xiao Qi!" The second master was furious.
Is she stupid? She has been scared like that just now, so she is not afraid of being homeless like the Zhang girl?
Jiang Wenfeng is also waiting.
He actually didn't want this Ming girl to report it in person. However, he had also made preparations. If she really dared to do so, he would make every effort to restore her reputation.
Now she spoke.
Come on then.
He will do his best to be worthy of the little girl's courage.
"yes."
Mingwei knelt down to him and saluted: "My little girl has been wronged, please seek justice!"
