After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 244 The news of death

Next, the General's Mansion was in chaos because of Lu Zhi's death.

According to the order of the eldest princess, the funeral must be handled in a one-stop manner, and it must be done in a beautiful manner, so shrouds and shoes must be prepared.

There should also be a lot of playing, playing, singing, etc., and at the same time, the palace should be notified, and the servants of the mansion should be sent to inform the dignitaries and dignitaries of the gods, so that they can send people to express their condolences.

Under such circumstances, Yao Shouning naturally couldn't stay in the general's mansion for a long time - the eldest princess wanted to keep her to play for a while, but was entangled by Guanshi Lu who came over from Wen Xun, so she couldn't do it all.

When he returned to the carriage, Yao Shouning was still in a daze when he thought of Lu Wuji's frightened face when he was notified to come back.

"It seems that something big has happened in the general's mansion?"

Zheng Shi's carriage had been parked in the stables of the General's Mansion. All he knew was that something had happened to the General's Mansion. Everyone was anxious and panicked, and they heard exclamations. When they came out, they met Lu Wuji who was in a hurry ...

But he didn't know exactly what happened, he only knew that someone told him that Yao Shouning wanted to use a horse, and then he saw his young lady was at a loss.

"Miss, are you okay?"

"fine……"

Yao Shouning responded tremblingly, saying:

"The prince is 'dead'!"

Zheng Shilen might as well hear the news, his body tilted, and he almost fell off the moving carriage.

Fortunately, he held the rein tightly in the critical moment, and grabbed the edge of the car with one hand in time to stabilize his body.

"What?!" he exclaimed.

Yao Shouning calmed down a bit, and said again:

"The eldest son is 'dead'. I want to go home and inform my parents and grandfather. Uncle Zheng, you have to hurry up."

Hearing this, Zheng Shi responded loudly, then shook the rein, and the horse galloped with all four hooves.

Fortunately, when we went back, the roads in the inner city were smooth, and only when we approached the northern city, the number of talents gradually increased.

The front gate of Yao's house was still surrounded by people, and even the houses of several officials nearby were surrounded by people.

Yao Shouning still borrowed the way from Mr. Zhao's family, climbed over the wall, and returned to his own home.

When she came back, the Wen family hadn't left yet.

Due to the rush of time and special circumstances, although the apprenticeship ceremony is simple, the basic procedures should be followed.

Mrs. Liu was sitting with her in the middle hall, when she heard her daughter came back, she couldn't sit still and jumped up.

Mrs. Wen on the side heard this and turned her head accordingly.

Although Wen Jingsui said his eyes lit up, but his temperament was calm, he did not turn his head in a hurry, but stood respectfully beside Liu Bingzhou.

"Shou Ning!"

Mrs. Liu took two quick steps, stood at the door, saw her daughter running into the courtyard, and then strode back to the house.

After she came in, she took off her cloak, and Mallow, who had stayed at home, made hot tea as early as the moment she heard the news, and handed it to her.

"Why did you come back so soon?"

Liu's face showed surprise, seeing her daughter in a hurry, and counting the time she spent going out, it was less than three hours, and the time for going back and forth had to be excluded. Not long.

Mrs. Wen sneered silently when she heard the words, looked Yao Shouning up and down, and frowned.

She had climbed over the wall and returned to the mansion, and when she came back, the cloak was unavoidably stained with sand, and it was not very tidy.

In addition, she ran all the way back to the room and was out of breath when she came in. From Mrs. Wen's point of view, she was simply unruly and decent.

Wen Xianrong saw his mother's expression in his eyes, and then looked at his elder brother, showing a bit of worry.

Mrs. Liu went up to cut her daughter's hair, and found that in winter, beads of sweat were running out of her forehead, so she couldn't help but took out a handkerchief to wipe her face.

"The prince is 'dead'!"

"what?"

Liu raised her volume, and with a shake of her hand, the veil fell to the ground without a sound.

She suspected that she had auditory hallucinations, otherwise why would she hear the news of 'the prince is dead' from her daughter?

The news that Yao Shouning brought back was too shocking, not only Liu Shi was taken aback, but even Wen Qingzhe who was sitting in the hall stood up.

Wen Jingsui and Yao Ruoyun raised their heads at the same time, everyone in the room was terrified, only Liu Bingzhou was sitting firmly in the middle with a cup of tea, and there was a smile that he tried to hold back when he heard this.

"The prince is 'dead'!"

Yao Shouning repeated the sentence again, and now the luck in Liu's heart disappeared.

Her complexion changed drastically, "Why did you 'die'? Really 'dead'?"

Liu still didn't believe it, so she hurriedly asked a few times.

"..." Yao Shouning didn't know how to answer his mother's question for a while. Lu Zhi's current situation is special, and he is not really "dead" if he says he is dead. If he is not dead, the general's residence is preparing for the funeral. ...

"say something!"

Seeing that her daughter did not speak for a long time, Mrs. Liu became anxious and urged her.

A bad premonition was born in her heart. She watched Yao Shouning's eyes fall on Mrs. Wen and the others, seemed to hesitate for a moment, then nodded:

"……Correct."

As soon as the words fell, Liu's heart suddenly became cold.

She suddenly felt ridiculous and regrettable.

"Why did you die?"

Mrs. Wen didn't know what was going on in her heart. When she first heard that Yao Shouning and Lu Zhi were getting close, she was filled with displeasure, but now that she heard that Lu Zhi was dead, she felt a little pity:

"I heard that the eldest princess has a son when she is old, and she is only an only son."

She also has a son. Speaking of this, she felt lingering fear, and subconsciously looked at Wen Jingsui.

After taking a look, Wen Jingsui's eyes fell on Yao Shouning, seeming a little worried.

Wen Jingsui was watching Yao Shouning.

When it came to Lu Zhizhi's 'death', she didn't show any sadness on her face, she was just telling the story plainly, conveying this matter to Mrs. Liu, it didn't look like she had any personal relationship with Lu Zhizhi.

He was relieved and then ashamed.

A gentleman is magnanimous, he should not have such dark speculations in his heart, and treat others with the heart of a villain.

"How did you die?" Liu asked anxiously.

"The son was bewitched before—"

When Yao Shouning said this, Liu uttered an exclamation:
"Ah!" She was taken aback for a moment, and then a look of remorse and pain appeared on her face:

"Monster Gu? Is it because of the demon energy?"

"Yes..." Thinking of the possessed fox demon on his cousin, Yao Shouning was also afraid that Liu's words would slip up, so he dared not tell her the truth, hesitated for a moment, and could only nod in agreement.

"Monster Qi... Monster Qi..." Liu's face was pale, and tears slowly accumulated in his eyes:

"It's my fault, it's my fault!"

"Mother—" Yao Shouning grabbed Liu Shi's hand. Her palm was cold and her body was trembling non-stop. The moment she was held by her daughter, she held Yao Shouning tightly like catching a life-saving duckweed:
"The prince was bewitched because he saved me—"

In other words, "The son died because of me!"

"No." Yao Shouning shook his head hastily when he saw his mother was sad:
"The son is bewitched by evil spirits because the evil spirits have already targeted him."

Yao Shouning's mind resurfaced in Yao Shouning's mind as the eldest princess said, and she gently comforted her mother:

"It's the evil spirit's fault. It is the evil spirit that harms people, and you are also harmed by the evil spirit."

Liu Shi looked at her with teary eyes, saw the worry in her daughter's eyes, and wanted to twitch the corners of her mouth, but such a movement was extremely difficult.

She tried not to cry, but arched her eyebrows, sucked her nose, and blinked back the tears in her eyes:
"I see."

There are Wen family members at home, so it's not the time for her to feel guilty.

Liu Shi suppressed her anxiety and said to Mrs. Wen:

"I made you laugh."

"Nothing." Mrs. Wen, who was a little difficult to get along with in the past, showed a rare generosity at this time.

She also knew about the Xicheng case that day, and also heard that the heir of Dingguo Shenwu Great General's Mansion was involved in a life lawsuit for saving the Liu family.

But Mrs. Wen didn't know about the son's bewitching before that, now listening to the few words between the mother and daughter, she could guess some clues.

She looked at Liu Shi with some sympathy, and before she could speak, she heard Wen Qingzhe say:

"It's really presumptuous of us to come here today. If you have something important to do, you might as well put this ceremony on hold for now. After an auspicious day is agreed upon in the future, my Wen family will prepare another generous gift, and then I will present all the etiquette—" After finishing speaking, he Looking at Liu Bingzhou:

"I don't know what Mr. Liu wants?"

"can."

Until this moment, Liu Bingzhou finally put down the teacup in his hand, and responded.

Mrs. Wen's lips moved, feeling a little regretful in her heart.

Although Wen Jingsui insisted on this 'apprenticeship', if the Confucian sage who appeared in the Yao family was really summoned by Liu Bingzhou, then it would be a great thing for Wen Jing to be able to worship Liu Bingzhou, a great Confucian in the world, as his teacher.

The son's head was kowtowed, and the tea was served, seeing that the ceremony was half done, if he came back next time, he wondered if Liu Bingzhou would make things difficult for his son.

But her husband had already spoken, and Mrs. Wen had always respected her husband very much, so naturally she would not question his words in front of outsiders.

"That being the case, we have to go back quickly."

When Wen Qingzhe spoke, he had already stood up:
"Since there are evil spirits in the world, and now they have killed people, I want to write a memorial to Datian, and ask the emperor to send a magician to investigate the matter thoroughly."

As soon as he said he wanted to leave, the members of the Wen family were ready to leave.

Wen Jingsui didn't speak, but Wen Xianrong was a little reluctant.

She didn't want to go home. At this time, she had a lot of things to say to Yao Shouning, and at the same time she couldn't bear Yao Ruoyun.

The purpose of this trip is for her elder brother to apprentice, she hasn't had time to talk to Yao Ruoyun yet.

But this was not the time for her to be willful, she could only sigh secretly, and followed behind her mother.

"mother."

At this moment, Yao Ruoyun, who had been standing beside Liu Bingzhou, suddenly called out to Liu Shi.

"what's up?"

Liu Shi forced herself to ask a question.

"The house is in a mess, and you still need to preside over it. Why don't you let me send Mrs. Wen and Mrs. Wen off for you." He looked calm, but when he said it later, his expression was slightly forgiving:
"I also want to say a few words to Xianrong."

As soon as the words fell, an intoxicating blush appeared on Wen Xianrong's round cheeks.

She had always been calm and generous in front of Mrs. Wen, but now she was a little shy when she heard Yao Ruoyun's words, but also felt indescribably sweet.

The two are engaged, and Daqing is not strict with men and women, especially for unmarried couples.

Yao Ruoyun is open and frank, her character is upright and upright, but she still has the spirit of a teenager.

Mrs. Wen also felt satisfied looking at this son-in-law, and nodded with a smile.

"Go."

The Liu family responded, and Yao Ruoyun happily went to see him off.

After the Wen family was sent to the gate, Mrs. Wen coughed lightly, and signaled to her daughter with her eyes, asking her to have a whisper with Yao Ruoyun.

The two boys and girls walked away a few steps, Yao Ruoyun first told Wen Xianrong what happened in the Yao family today, and then mentioned Su Miaozhen's nonsense after she was bewitched.

Due to the urgency of time, he just picked up a few key words in a hurry.

After hearing what he said, Wen Xianrong was taken aback for a moment, and finally looked up at him:
"How did you tell me this?"

She believed in Yao Ruoyun's character, and she was also very confident in herself. She felt that she was not inferior to that cousin of the Yao family, and she didn't believe that Yao Ruoyun would really change her mind.

But Su Miaozhen spoke nonsense and ruined Yao Ruoyun's reputation, maybe Liu would cover up one thing or two for her son, so as not to spread it.

If Yao Ruoyun didn't tell her, she wouldn't know about it at all.

"Why are you telling me?"

she asked.

"Because I don't want others to spread random rumors, and when they reach your ears, the rumors may change their flavor."

Yao Ruoyun remembered that her younger sister went out with the eldest son before, but it was rumored that two 'women' had eloped, and the three became tigers, "I hope I told you this, don't trust others."

He really attaches great importance to this fiancée, and he is unwilling to even have a little misunderstanding, and he is also afraid that Wen Xianrong will be anxious if he believes it to be true.

"Okay." Wen Xianrong responded with indescribable sweetness in his heart:
"I believe you."

Yao Ruoyun was very happy and said:
"I am far away from her, but since my cousin has such a misunderstanding, it can be seen that I still have something wrong. If I see her in the future, I will take a detour and never talk to her in private. Don't worry."

Hearing this, Wen Xianrong loved him even more in his heart, nodded in response:
"Well, if you really can't avoid it, don't avoid it, after all, they are relatives."

The two said a few words, Yao Ruoyun glanced at Wen Qingzhe and his wife in the distance, and Wen Jingsui, then whispered:
"My grandfather gave me a jade pen. The old man said that reading more books can cultivate literary spirit. If you have a high literary talent, you can cultivate the power of Confucianism, and then turn it into righteousness."

After finishing speaking, he spread his hand, showing a small jade pen in his palm:

"Don't be afraid even if there are evil spirits in the future, I will study hard, practice hard, and protect you and your family in the future."

Wen Xianrong's eyes became softer, and he began to think about how long it would be until the two of them got married.

On the other side, Wen Jingsui saw his younger sister talking to Yao Ruoyun. The two obviously abided by the rules of etiquette and had no close contact with each other, but the atmosphere of you and me was extremely strong, which made him envious.

……

At this moment in the main room of the lobby, after the Wen family had left, Liu Shi finally stopped holding on, and her body softened. Fortunately, Yao Shouning hugged her opportunistically, and half hugged and half supported her back to the chair and sat down.

Granny Cao stepped forward to push her chest and pat her back, and her tears flowed out:

"I am also responsible for the death of the son. How can I be worthy of the eldest princess and General Lu?"

Lu Zhi was kind to her in saving her life. The eldest princess and his wife even rescued Yao Hui from the prison that day. Now that Lu Zhi died of a demon, and he is the only son of the Lu family, Liu's heart was covered with a thick layer. thick shadows.

"Mother, mother, don't worry about being sad..." Yao Shouning comforted him, and before he finished speaking, he heard Liu Bingzhou say:
"Shouning is right. Why are you crying? The prince suddenly died of an evil spirit, and the general's residence may pass on to someone close to him."

Because of the Yao family's relationship with the General's Mansion due to the Xicheng case, someone might come to report the funeral, "Don't cry, cheer up."

"..."

Liu Shi was still teary, but after hearing what her father said, she felt that it made sense.

"But, the eldest son is dead, what should Shouning do?"

She turned to look at her daughter again, feeling sad again.

Yao Shouning had a hard time "love for the first time", she had been "beating mandarin ducks" before, preventing the two from interacting, and finally agreed to her daughter's request, but she didn't know that her son passed away unfortunately.

The more Liu thought about it, the more she felt guilty. She always felt that she was sorry for both Lu Zhi and her daughter.

While they were talking, the news of 'the son's death' spread in the Yao family, and soon Yao Wanning and Su Miaozhen all rushed over after hearing the news.

"The prince is dead?" Yao Wanning asked with a pale face as soon as she entered the room.

"The prince is dead!" Su Miaozhen also said at the same time.

The wound on her face had just stopped bleeding, and when she spoke now, the wound was affected, and the blood began to trickle down her jaw again.
