When the maids and ladies in the upper room heard that Aunt Wang was gone, some were secretly shocked, as they were the very few who knew the inside story; some were secretly happy, as there was no Aunt Wang blocking their way, and they were on top. It's much easier.
No one really felt sorry for Grandma Wang. Who told her that she always pretended to be powerful and relied on Mrs. Hou's influence to bully other servants and failed to make good friends?
A maid came over holding a silver-red dress, ready to help Madam Hou put it on. Grandma Wang is the most capable person. If she is gone, Mrs. Hou must go over and take a look.
Mrs. Li of Zhenbeihou waved her hand and said calmly: "That's all, let's go down and send a woman to guard her. Ask Mrs. Wang Dong to come in and carry the person back tomorrow morning. Jin Feng, go home with your mother tomorrow, Yulu, and give twenty taels of silver to Jin Feng. It’s hot now, so don’t wait any longer. Let’s bury her tomorrow.”
Wang Dong is. Jinfeng's biological father and Grandma Wang's biological nephew, Grandma Wang was divorced and returned to her parents' home because she could not have children. She spent her whole life supporting her parents' family, all she wanted was for someone to take care of her until she died.
All the women and maids in the room bowed and retreated. Only Jin Feng and the maid holding the clothes did not leave.
The maid quickly put away her clothes, opened the small box and took out two silver ingots. She walked briskly to Jin Feng and said angrily: "Jin Feng, I'm afraid there will be a lot of things tomorrow. I'll just give you the money so that I won't be delayed tomorrow."
Jin Feng was upset, but he didn't dare to show it. He just took the money and knelt down to thank him. She knew the old custom in the house, where servants with status like her aunt were gone, and the reward was only ten taels of silver for burning and burial.
Mrs. Li hummed softly and sighed lightly: "I'll go home tomorrow and burn more ingot paper money. Alas... your aunt is also unlucky. She has only lived a good life for a few years. ..." As she spoke, Mrs. Li pressed the corner of her eyes with her handkerchief, showing a hint of sadness.
Jin Feng stepped back respectfully, but she did not see a look of joy flash across Mrs. Hou's face. And Yulu, who was serving on the side, looked at him seriously. A feeling of sadness over the death of a rabbit or a fox could not help but arise in my heart.
Yulu is one of the few insiders. She knows very well that Grandma Wang died for Madam. Although the life and death of servants like them are originally in the hands of the master, Madam is so She dismissed the matter nonchalantly, which really made her feel bad.
Recalling the old people in the house talking about how Mrs. Xianhou treated her servants, Yulu couldn't help but secretly sigh in her heart that her life was not good, and why she didn't meet such a good master as Mrs. Xianhou.
When Duanyang and the guards were lying on the roof, the courtyard soon became quiet, and the lights in each room were turned off one after another. The guard frowned and shook his head, but Duanyang sneered. He knew that step-wife Mrs. Li was a cold-hearted person who only had eyes for herself.
Duanyang and the guards quickly left the Hou Mansion, and when they returned to the Guozi Jiu Mansion, it was already twilight in the east, and the servants in the mansion had already begun to sweep the yard.
I know that all the elders and elders in the mansion are going to court and have to go out on errands. Duanyang and the guards went back to sleep.
Especially during Duanyang, he had not slept for four consecutive nights and was already very tired.
"Uncle Duanyang... wake up for lunch..." A boy's voice sounded outside the door. No one in the room responded.
The boy quickly opened the door and walked in carrying the food box.
On the bed, Duanyang was sleeping with his arms spread out. The boy smiled, walked over and pushed Duanyang's body, and screamed again.
"Ah..." Duanyang sat up in confusion, and when he saw who it was, he frowned and said: "Yin Axe, you stinky boy, what are you causing trouble! Your uncle is sleeping soundly... ..."
Silver Axe said with a smile: "Uncle Duanyang, it's not me who's quarreling with you, it's the Second Young Master who ordered me to bring you lunch."
Duanyang couldn't help but exclaimed: " It’s already noon? Why did I sleep for so long?” He jumped up while talking about Duanyang, and after two or three times of getting dressed, he was about to rush out.
Yinaxe pulled Duanyang and said with a smile: "Uncle Duanyang, don't panic. I sent someone a message and didn't want anyone to wake you up. When I saw you, it was past noon and you hadn't gotten up yet. I was afraid that you would I was so hungry that I asked the younger one to bring you lunch. The second young master said that he would go to bed after eating at least."
Duanyang shook his head and smiled. He didn't understand what the second young master was thinking. This was. Waiting is impatient.

After eating quickly, Duanyang and Yin Ax went to the Dongkuoyuan ahead.
Seeing Duanyang coming, the second son, Cheng Jinzhu, smiled sheepishly. With this smile, he lost his usual sense of maturity and prudentness that was off-putting. Finally, I feel a little childish.
"Uncle Duanyang, Jinzhu will apologize to you for disturbing your dreams." Cheng Jinzhu saluted with crossed hands in embarrassment.
Duanyang quickly dodged aside. No matter how young the second master is, he is still his master. It is already a blessing for him to say "Uncle Duanyang" to a servant. How dare he accept the courtesy of the young master.
"Second Young Master, please don't say that. I should have woken up long ago." Duanyang said while looking at Yin Axe, who didn't understand anything.
Cheng Jinzhu immediately said: "Yinaxe, Brother Gang is looking for you. Come over quickly." Silveraxe responded and trotted out.
"Uncle Duanyang, have you discovered anything?" Cheng Jinzhu asked eagerly as soon as the silver ax left.
Duanyang smiled and said: "Back to the Second Young Master, luckily nothing was dug out."
Cheng Jinzhu took a deep breath after hearing this, raised a smile on his little face, and murmured: "It's fine that it wasn't dug out. It's fine that it wasn't dug out."
"Second Young Master, Grandma Wang died last night." Duanyang said in a low voice.
“Oh, dead! If you die, you won't be able to get a confession. "Cheng Jinzhu frowned and said with regret.
"Uncle Duanyang, I thought about it for a long time yesterday. Do you think it is possible that Xuan'er found out that Grandma Wang was going to kill my little sister? It scratched Grandma Wang and rescued my little sister. Xuan'er wanted to send the little sister to her father. Something happened on the way and the little sister fell. Xuan'er only held on to a small piece of swaddling clothes..."
Cheng Jinzhu looked at Duanyang with hopeful eyes
After hearing this, Duanyang's eyes lit up and he nodded: "It's very possible. "
After Duanyang finished speaking, his eyes suddenly dimmed again. Cheng Jinzhu kept staring at Duanyang. When he saw his eyes dimming, his heart tightened, and his bright eyes also dimmed. Both of them thought about it again. Another possibility.
Xuan'er is a goshawk. It flies so high and falls from such a high altitude. Is it possible that such a small baby is still alive?
"Second Young Master?" , the villain will look for it along the road now. " Duanyang said and walked out.
Cheng Jinzhu grabbed Duanyang and whispered: "No, Uncle Duanyang, you have to take Xuan'er to find him. "
Duanyang nodded and said: "Okay, I will go back to Yongning Pass to find Xuan'er now.
Cheng Jinzhu shook his head again and said calmly: "Father will not let Xuan'er stay in Yongning Pass for too long. It will fly back soon. Uncle Duanyang, just wait for Xuan'er to come back in the capital." "
Duanyang thought about this and nodded in agreement, and then said: "Second Young Master, do you want to talk to my uncle? "
Cheng Jinzhu thought for a while, nodded and said: "I'll go talk to my uncle. Uncle Duanyang, go and rest for a while so that you can recuperate your energy. You will still be busy when Xuan'er comes back. ”
