Since he had the approval of Emperor Chengxing, even if Xiao Wei went to the palace to complain, it would be useless.
Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye will know that there is a lot of water involved in the case of the Yun family. If we really look into it carefully, Xiao Wei will not be able to do well.
But Xiao Wei himself was beaten up by Xiao Ci, and his subordinates were tricked by Xiao Ci one after another. This bad breath was in his heart, and he couldn't swallow it.
Xiao Wei's face was livid with anger, wishing he could tear Xiao Ci to pieces with his hands, but he was so angry that he knew that it would be useless to be angry again. Even if he couldn't swallow it, he had to swallow it for now. The days are long, and who will be in trouble in the future?
It's hard to tell in my hand.
It was no small task to place the more than a hundred separated corpses in the mass grave one by one. Xiao Ci and his people worked from noon until late at night before placing all the remains in coffins.
More than a hundred coffins, some large and some small, were all parked in the righteous village closest to the mass grave. They also invited the master from Hongfa Temple to chant sutras all night and wait for the auspicious time to be buried tomorrow.
After arranging everything, it was already late at night when we returned to Prince Rui's Mansion. Xiao Ci smelled something bad, so he didn't go back to Yilanju first. Instead, he freshened up in the study and changed out of the clothes he was wearing today.
Not long after Xiao Jingchuan came back, he washed up and prepared to lie down. When he heard that Xiao Ci was back, he got up and went out to the study room.
The father and son were separated by a screen, Xiao Ci was bathing inside the screen, and Xiao Jingchuan reported the progress of the matter outside.
I don't know where he said it, but Xiao Jingchuan suddenly felt something in his heart: "I didn't expect that a loyal member of the Yun family would end up like this in the end. That thing is really harmful to people, and I don't know if anyone can find it."
Xiao Ci paused in putting on his clothes, frowned tightly, and sighed silently. Money and silk can move people's hearts, let alone this country.
When she returned to Yilan Residence, Song Qinghuan was still awake. She was sitting in front of the open window, not knowing what she was thinking. She didn't notice Xiao Ci entering the yard.
"But you can't sleep?" Xiao Ci strode into the house still smelling like Xiang Yizi.
Song Qinghuan heard the voice and turned around. When he saw it was Xiao Ci, he nodded: "What's the current situation? I want to collect the body for my grandfather's family and my parents, but I don't know if it will implicate you."
."
She was pestered by two little girls, Xiao Jingtong and Xiao Jingrou, for a whole day. She had no time to go out, and no time to find out the news. She had to wait for Xiao Ci to come back and ask him.
Before Xiao Ci could respond, he thought of his sudden return from the south, frowned and said again: "You entered the palace alone today. The Holy One didn't blame you, right? How did Empress Dowager Jiang do with the merit monument?"
"
Seeing that Song Qinghuan was still not in good spirits, Xiao Ci raised his hand and called her to sit next to him. Then he grabbed her hand and frowned.
On a hot summer day, she was lucky because her hands were still cold.
He opened his mouth and said: "The weather is like a furnace, are you still cold?"
Song Qinghuan looked at him as if he were a fool.
Xiao Ci then laughed, pinched the back of her hand, and replied: "I arranged everything before returning to Beijing. Brother Huang will not blame me. Besides, it's not a big deal."
After a pause, he then said: "I have arranged the arrangements for my grandfather's family and my parents today. I just wait for them to be buried when the time comes tomorrow. You don't have to worry."
Xiao Ci had done everything Song Qinghuan wanted to do for her. For a moment, she had mixed feelings and didn't know what to say.
In the past, when she was not married to Xiao Ci, she had to deal with everything alone, even if she was exhausted physically and mentally, because she had no one to share the burden with her.
Nowadays, Xiao Ci is taking care of everything for her, no matter how big or small it is. Her strength is nowhere to be used. She is also a weak woman in front of Xiao Ci.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Song Qinghuan threw herself into Xiao Ci's arms. In a rare moment of emotion, she blushed and said, "Husband, it is my blessing to marry you in this life."
Xiao Ci grinned from the corner of his mouth to his ears, and said with a smile: "This is called marriage that is destined by God. It was destined in the previous life."
Song Qinghuan's cheeks were stained with a hint of rouge and she buried her head in Xiao Ci's arms.
Xiao Ci suddenly said: "Are you asleep? If you can't sleep, I will take you out for a walk."
After burning incense, the two of them changed into clothes that were convenient for traveling, avoided the patrolling Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division in the city, and headed for the outskirts of the city.
The eastern suburbs of the city are far away from the center of the city and are sparsely populated for hundreds of miles. Most of them are farms and villages owned by wealthy families.
Xiao Ci led Song Qinghuan along the way without disturbing anyone until the horse stopped in front of a dark village.
When he went out, Xiao Ci didn't say what he was going for. When he arrived at his destination, Song Qinghuan still looked confused. Seeing that there was no light at all in front of him, he looked at Xiao Ci in confusion.
Xiao Ci didn't say anything, he just pulled her forward and knocked on the door lightly, three short and two long. Not long after, he heard someone ask through the door: "Who is it?"
The voice that spoke was that of a woman, and Song Qinghuan recognized it. It was Aunt Zhou. She had returned to Beijing in the past two days. Because of the affairs of the Yun family and the Song family, she didn't pay attention to Aunt Zhou. Unexpectedly, she was
Come here.
Xiao Ci said: "Open the door."
Aunt Zhou heard Xiao Ci's voice and immediately opened the courtyard door. Seeing Xiao Ci and Song Qinghuan standing outside, she hurriedly welcomed them into the courtyard and said in a neither humble nor overbearing tone: "The prince and princess are here."
Knowing the purpose of these two people's visit, he added without waiting for anyone to answer: "The children have all gone to bed. There has been a lot of noise in the past two days. They all have to rely on the soothing soup to survive."
Song Qinghuan grabbed Xiao Ci's arm. Not knowing why, Xiao Ci said: "I will take the princess to have a look, and there is no need to wake up the children."
Aunt Zhou responded, bolted the courtyard door again, took out the oil lamp, and then introduced Xiao Ci and Song Qinghuan into the house.
The room was scented with incense and an ice basin was placed. It was not too hot. The green gauze curtain was hung down, and the situation inside the bed could not be seen. Aunt Zhou put down the oil lamp and turned around to go out without saying anything.
Xiao Ci took a few steps forward, lifted up the hanging green gauze tent and hung it with a copper hook. He saw two dolls sleeping on the couch. They were probably sleeping soundly. The sleeping position was extremely difficult.
Song Qinghuan recognized Song Tianci at a glance, fearing that he had made a mistake, so he hurriedly stepped forward, and when he saw that it was Song Tianci, his eyes turned red.
He picked up the little baby next to Song Tianci and took a closer look. It turned out to be a junior of the Yun family. He was only a few months old. He didn't know how to feel sad at all and even smacked his little mouth in his sleep.
Song Qinghuan only thought that the Yun family and the Song family, young and old, had all suffered. He never thought that besides Song Qingyan, he also saved two children.
Immediately, he held the child in his arms, his tears couldn't stop falling, and he murmured: "It's great, it's great..."
In any case, it can be regarded as leaving two descendants behind.
