After her lips moved for a moment, she saw the man on the bed closed his eyes and didn't say another word.
I sat like this for an unknown amount of time until even breathing could be heard from the bed, indicating that my husband was already fast asleep.
Mrs.
At her age, it would be no exaggeration to say that it was the most painful blow in her life to suddenly lose the son she had loved and valued for more than twenty years, and in such a humiliating way.
But what's even more tragic is that her husband doesn't seem to be able to empathize with her.
Mrs. Xue sat down in the outer hall with her eyes a little distracted, until a woman came in from outside.
She raised her eyes and looked at her wet nurse.
All day long, the wet nurse stayed in Han'er's yard to take care of the worried Lu.
"lady……"
The mother-in-law lowered her voice and said: "Madam, don't worry, I am tired from all the hard work and have fallen asleep now."
Mrs. Lu had been going crazy during the day. Because they were worried about the presence of people in the palace, they could only temporarily tie their hands and feet and gag their mouths.
In the evening, when she saw that people were finally willing to calm down, she asked people to let Lu go.
But who would have thought that as soon as her front legs released her, Lu ran out with her back legs.
They finally managed to catch him again, and Mrs. Lu started crying again... It was really a struggle.
After listening to the mother-in-law's summary of what happened, Xue's eyes were filled with coldness.
How dare this bitch make a scene!
Although it is also clear that the second son's accident is not directly related to Lu, it is true that Lu has hindered her second son and that his illness has been taken advantage of by outsiders. If she had not been caring about the child in Lu's belly, she would have been pregnant again that day.
How could you let that damn Taoist enter the house!
Now she wished she could let this daughter-in-law, who was not as good as her, pay for her second son's life!
"I feel that the fright that young mistress suffered this time is obviously related to the things in the garden..." The mother-in-law persuaded in a low voice: "In any case, she is carrying the only blood of the second master..."
Madam, if you are impulsive and don't even think about it in the future, you will probably regret it in the future.
Listening to these words, Mr. Xue's heart ached like a knife.
The only bloodline...
Why was her Han'er forced into such a desperate situation just for the sake of a mere dug-out corpse?
How humble is that woman's background, that she is worthy of having her Han'er pay for it with her life?!
"If she no longer wants to live in Qinghe Garden, then choose another yard for her to raise her baby!" Ms. Xue gritted her teeth slightly and said, "Before the baby is born, you must take good care of her!"
The mother-in-law breathed a sigh of relief and quickly responded "Yes".
…
Within two days, Xia Han's case was concluded.
According to Daqing law, Xia Han was sentenced to Lingchi for several crimes.
The day of execution is half a month later.
The reason why the case was closed so quickly this time was not only due to the many irrefutable evidences, but also because Ji Dong sensed some pressure from the palace.
News of Xia Han's conviction quickly spread throughout Beijing.
I don’t know where it came from, but it quickly captured everyone’s attention.
"Did you hear about it? The day before the lightning struck Fengtian Hall, a Taoist saw something evil in the Xia family and went into the Xia Mansion to investigate... What do you think? - The Taoist revealed in one word that there was something evil in the courtyard of the second son of the Xia family.
Evil thing! It is also predicted that the result of this evil thing will come true in the Fengtian Palace in the palace!"
In a teahouse in the city, a man with a child sitting on his neck was talking to the people around him about the news he had learned.
The crowd was immediately in an uproar.
"This is an expert!"
"In that case, wouldn't the source of what happened at Fengtian Palace be the evil done by Xia Han?"
"It is said that Miss Xu who was killed by him died miserably. She must be full of resentment!"
"Fortunately, Xia Shoufu was righteous and never protected his parents and children. Otherwise, the murderer could not be brought to justice, and the resentment would definitely be difficult to quell, and something big would definitely happen!"
"Yeah yeah……"
…
In the Duke's Mansion, Xu Mingyi didn't feel the slightest surprise when he heard the news A Kui brought back from outside.
Xia Han was destined to take the blame for Emperor Qingming from the beginning.
As for the people outside now praising Xia Tingzhen for her righteousness in killing her relatives, she doesn't feel depressed about it.
She never thought from the beginning that she could bring down the entire Xia family.
Even though it has been roughly confirmed from the Zhan family that the experience of the Zhenguo Palace in the previous life is closely related to the Xia family, it is still unrealistic to say that Xia Tingzhen will be completely killed now.
Xia Tingzhen was scheming and had been the most powerful official in the court for so many years, so she had her own extraordinary methods.
As for this matter, her original intention from the beginning was to bring Xia Han to justice.
Now that her wish has been successfully fulfilled, she is very happy.
As for the rest, we have to leave it to be settled piece by piece in the future.
Xu Mingyi put down the veil that was used to clean the bow and arrows, and hung the bow on the wall again.
The second-class maid Amo on the side couldn't help but take another look.
The girl has been practicing archery since she was a child and loves bow and arrow very much. Everyone in the house knows this.
This bow is said to be a relic left by the girl's biological mother. Although the girl used to take it out and clean it frequently, it was always kept in a box. Now that she has taken it out and hung it on the wall, it always makes people feel a little weird.
land……
After all, which girl would have a bow hanging in her bedroom?
Sensing the little girl's gaze, Akui glanced over with the aura of a big maid.
The little girl immediately lowered her head and wiped the corner of the table.
Akui carefully straightened the hanging bow and arrow.
It's just a bow, but it's worth these little girls fussing over.
A girl can’t hang whatever she wants in her own bedroom?
"Let's go, it's time to go out." Xu Mingyi glanced at Didi and said in a relaxed and cheerful tone.
Akui hurriedly agreed and brought the food box she had prepared early in the morning.
The master and servant left Xiyuan and when passing through the front yard, they met Yao Jing walking slowly.
"Mr. Yao."
Xu Mingyi bowed.
Yao Jing, who seemed to be thinking about something with his eyes lowered, suddenly came to his senses, raised his head and said in surprise: "It's a girl."
As he spoke, he quickly returned the courtesy.
Xu Mingyi sighed slightly in his heart.
Mr. Yao's acting skills of deliberately creating chance encounters are also a bit exaggerated.
"I wonder if the girl is in a hurry to go out?" Yao Jing asked in a respectful tone.
"It's better to be in a hurry than to be in a hurry."
"Then... can the girl take a step with Pindao to talk?"
Xu Mingyi nodded.
Aoi took a step back.
"..."
Seeing his girl standing there with no intention of moving, Yao Jing glanced at the maid with complicated eyes.
It's just one step. It's really not one step too much and one step too little.
But think about it - in this house, when does a girl speak and do things, when does she need to avoid whom?
With this thought in mind, Yao Jing lowered his voice and spoke.
