Kneeling at the front of the female family members was the crown prince’s wife, Mrs. Wen.
Even wearing a large coarse linen clothes could not hide her thin figure. Although there was not a single tear shed on her face, her eyes were swollen and her expression was dull and dull, even when her mother had spoken to her before.
, she almost didn’t react.
Is this because you are grieving for the death of your mother-in-law?
Of course, even if they didn't get along in life and died, as a daughter-in-law, she would have to pretend to be sad, but Mrs. Wen didn't look like she was pretending.
If she was really pretending, then she would really respect him as a top expert.
besides--
Although she didn't know who the juniors were in the uncle's house, she had never seen her two cousins appear since she entered the uncle's house.
Seeing that Xu Mingyi insisted on not leaving, Ms. Cui was about to say something more when she suddenly heard a loud cry coming from outside the hall.
"Mother!"
A burly man walked in, being supported by two servants.
The man's eyes were red and his expression was sad. As soon as he stepped into the hall, he threw away the boy's support and ran to the coffin crying. He held the coffin and cried loudly: "Mother, it's the son who is unfilial! It's the son who is unfilial.
!”
Hearing this voice, Wen's eyes trembled, and she raised her head to look at her husband, who had obviously been drinking.
Ms. Cui frowned and pulled Xu Mingyi to stand further away.
Her half-brother Cui Xin, who is three years younger than her, can barely act like half a human being on weekdays, but once he gets drunk, he doesn't even act like half a human being.
I really felt that it was unfilial to me to just bump into the coffin and die. It would be easier to bury them both at once.
"Brother, my mother has passed away. Please express my condolences and accept the change..."
Cui Xiu, the second son of Prince Yong'an, stepped forward and patted Prince Yong'an's shoulder and advised him in a mute voice.
Unexpectedly, he was waved away by the opponent.
"There's no need for you to be hypocritical! When have you, the second wife, ever truly wished your mother well!"
Cui Xiunai is the concubine of Yong'an Bo, not the daughter of Mrs. Yong'an Bo. Hearing this, his face changed for a while, but he finally suppressed it and whispered: "Brother, you are drunk, let me help you go back to rest.
"
"Drunk? I can see it better than anyone else!"
Cui Xin sneered again and again and said: "When mother was alive, you two didn't know how to be filial. Now that mother is dead, how can you pretend to be filial here! It's my fault that I don't see you clearly on weekdays!"
Cui Xiu frowned slightly.
His eldest brother is really getting more and more out of place.
"Brothers and brothers are so——"
Cui Xin looked drunk, stretched out his hand and tapped Cui Xiu, and then pointed to Wen who was kneeling there: "Marrying a wife is also a disaster!"
There was sarcasm on Wen's lips.
"I'm talking about you, Mr. Wen!"
Seeing that she was silent, Cui Xin still refused to give up, with tears of annoyance in his eyes, and said: "If you hadn't repeatedly said things that were disobedient to my mother and didn't follow the rules of being a daughter-in-law, why would my mother have become more and more sick!
My mother was brought to life and death by you, a vicious woman!"
Ms. Cui pursed her lips.
Cui Xin's words seemed to be scolding Wen, but his eyes fell on her several times. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was referring to Sang and scolding Huai.
He didn't dare to attack her openly and took his anger out on Mrs. Wen!
"Cui Xin, if you are really as filial as you say, you should know that the mourning hall is not a place for you to act wild and drunk!" Ms. Cui suppressed her anger, frowned and scolded.
As the eldest daughter of Yong'an House, this sentence is still true.
"I'm just afraid that my mother will not feel at ease when she passes away, and I won't be able to rest in peace! That's why I have to explain it clearly before my mother's death!"
Cui Xin looked excited and salivated.
Xu Mingyi glanced sympathetically at Cui Xiu, who was wiping the saliva on his face with his sleeve.
"Will she die in peace?"
Wen stood up unsteadily and looked at her husband sarcastically: "Over the years, she has controlled everything in the house, even my dowry, but you have never said a word about it - with you like this
Such a considerate son, why should she die in peace!"
Normally, she would have just endured it, and she would never have said this in front of the deceased, but this was different from the past!
She always cares about others, but who has ever cared about her and her daughter!
That’s all for others, but even the husband who is supposed to be the closest and most reliable has such a disgusting behavior!
Her husband seems to be a tall and tall man, but in fact he is like a child who has not yet been weaned. He wants to interfere with his mother's wishes in every matter, which is incomprehensible——
Let me mention an old incident that I am not ashamed to mention. On the night of their wedding, after her husband consummated their marriage, he was not as gentle as other newlyweds. Instead, he dressed and walked out of the new house, and did not return until half an hour later.
The next day she sent her maid to inquire, only to find out that he had gone to the uncle's house last night...
He couldn't even discuss his thoughts with his mother after consummating the marriage!
Since then, there have been countless similar things. Sometimes when she couldn't bear it any more, her mother-in-law would react as if she had done something terrible, crying and saying to her, "If something happens to me, come to me.
Don't torture my son."
She always felt that it was a rare thing that she was not driven crazy by this mother and son!
Cui Xin looked furious when he heard her mention the dowry in public.
"You bitch who doesn't understand filial piety... you actually have the nerve to say these narrow-minded words in front of your mother's soul! Is this how the Wen family raised their daughter? Do you believe it or not, I will divorce you now!"
"If you really dare to divorce me, then I really have to kneel down and kowtow to you to say thank you! Don't just talk without doing anything and make people laugh at you!"
Wen's expression was extremely serious, with resentment in her eyes: "But even if I leave, I will get Qing'er back! If something happens to my daughter, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost!"
Hearing her talk about this matter, everyone's expressions changed.
Cui Xin's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.
"You still have the nerve to mention this?!"
Wen's eyes were determined and unyielding: "I know exactly who my adopted daughter is!"
"...How dare you say that!"
Cui Xin was enraged and pushed Cui Xiu away from him, raised his fist and was about to swing at Wen.
Mrs. Cui hurriedly wanted to stop him.
Xu Mingshi had already stood beside Cui. When he saw this, he was afraid that his mother would be hurt, so he rushed to pull her away.
"Get away!"
Cui Xin, who was half drunk and half blinded by anger, didn't even look at who it was. He just thought it was some blind boy who grabbed his arm, turned sideways and raised his foot to kick him away.
However, under such a pull, it was difficult for the drunken man to stand firmly. As soon as he raised one foot, his body was about to fall forward and press against Xu Mingshi!
And next to it is a brazier with burning fuel!
Xu Mingyi suddenly frowned.
A drunken burly man pressed down on Mingshi, and the brazier was knocked over again. The consequences can be imagined——
