The little girl hides her secrets

Chapter 86 86. Frightening
After Yunxiang finished dressing, he was persuaded by two maids to drink some porridge, and then came to the mourning hall and knelt down in front of his wife's coffin.

In Shaoguo, according to the rules, the children of the deceased had to kneel in front of the coffin for a day and a night to show their filial piety.

At this moment, Yun was already kneeling on the cattail mat. Compared with the weeping servant behind him, his expression was indifferent, and the ancient well was calm.

Yun Xiang was sad in her heart, she knelt down softly, her eyes turned red instantly, seeing that Yun was still so indifferent, she immediately felt dissatisfied.

She choked up and said, "You don't feel sad at all when your mother passed away. Why are you so ruthless?"

Yun Huanqing's clear eyes showed a trace of coldness, and he said lightly: "I treat Madam just like Madam treats me."

Yun Xiang choked, thinking of something, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he turned his head away from looking at him.

When she was young, Yunxiang once fell in love with Yunhuan's jade inkstone, but before Yun refused to give it to her, she went to grab it, and broke the inkstone during the dispute, making a loud noise.

When the mother heard the sound, she came over to check anxiously. Seeing that she was crying, she couldn't help but give Yun a good blow.

Yun Huan was only six years old at the time, his wound was inflamed, and he had a high fever for several days. The doctor was in a hurry, but his mother never asked her, nor did she let her visit.

At that time, Yun Xiang was already eight years old, long before she could remember, and she clearly remembered the obscenities her mother uttered.

She scolded Yun for being a bitch.

Yun Xiang didn't speak anymore, her slender figure was trembling and sobbing like a delicate flower, covering her big back.

He really knelt until the next morning, when Yun got up weakly, he just followed the proper etiquette, and didn't want to stay for a second longer.

Yun Xiang's lips were pale, and he barely supported his upper body, and said weakly: "I really don't want to give up, can you please go back first, leave me and the two maids here alone overnight, and then we will bury my mother in the coffin tomorrow."

The maids and servants were so moved that they all praised the eldest lady for her filial piety, prepared a lot of food and drink for Yun Xiang, and added cotton robes before they scattered and left.

After everyone dispersed, Suyun went to close the door, and Yunxiang collapsed on the ground, knelt for a day and a night, her body couldn't take it anymore.

Bi Yue served Yun Xiang a bowl of hot soup, and said, "Miss, drink it, to warm your body."

Yun Xiang got up and drank the soup before feeling better.

She sat weakly on the ground, and said softly: "When night falls, you two quietly open the coffin to see if there is anything wrong with mother's body."

Suyun turned pale, and said tremblingly, "Miss, is this not very good?"

Biyu was taken aback for a moment, and she said in embarrassment: "Miss, don't you mean that the miraculous doctor uses madam to test poisons and medicines?"

Yun Xiang's eyes were black and blue, and even the powder couldn't cover it.

She said with a carefree look: "I can't help but think of this possibility. I hope I'm wrong."

At night, the moon and stars are sparse, the autumn wind is bleak, and the coolness seeps into the mourning hall, which is cold and strange.

The Prime Minister's Mansion fell into silence, Yun Xiang gathered his cotton robe and said, "Let's begin."

The two servant girls were so frightened that they tremblingly lit the oil lamps and moved to the coffin.

The slightly flickering candlelight shone on the red coffin, making it even more eerie.

The two maids swallowed together, and after a long time of mental construction, they finally pushed the coffin lid away together.

A pungent rotten smell mixed with the smell of earth rushed into the mouths and noses of the two maids, and they slowly turned their eyes to see an unforgettable scene in this life.

I saw that the maggot-covered corpse was folded strangely, the kneecap was broken, and the two feet were tightly attached to the sides of the head. Only in this way could it fit the corpse.

The two servant girls were so frightened that they fell to the ground, retching non-stop, and almost vomited their bile.

Yun Xiang didn't dare to go forward, the smell alone was enough for her to retreat to the edge, and she asked in a low voice, "How is it?"

Suyun stammered and said: "Madam's bones are long."

Yun Xiang couldn't understand at all. She was so smoked that she pinched her nose lightly and said in a muffled voice, "Bi Yue, tell me."

Biyue was even worse, she was shaking non-stop, and whenever she wanted to speak, she couldn't help retching.

Yun Xiang frowned slightly, anxious and frightened, struggling to take a step forward, saw the shadow of the candle flickering, and pressed back against the wall in fear.

After struggling back and forth for a long time, she finally plucked up the courage and leaned forward to take a look.

With just one glance, she fainted.

Yun Xiang's body hit the ground heavily, making a loud noise.

The two servant girls were startled, tried their best to stabilize their figure, quickly covered the coffin, helped Yun Xiang up, and called the rough envoy to carry Yun Xiang back to the room.

The next day, the story of Yun Xiang kneeling in the mourning hall until she fainted almost spread all over the capital, adding to her reputation as "the most talented woman in Kyoto".

When Yun Xiang woke up, he felt dizzy and his body ached.

Seeing her wake up, the two servant girls were overjoyed and surrounded her to take care of her.

Yun Xiang asked weakly, "Is mother buried?"

Suyun shuddered and said tremblingly, "Madam was buried this morning."

Yun Xiang's expression was peaceful, and when he thought of the scene last night, his face turned pale again.

The mother was originally more than five feet tall, and she walked in the mansion with dignity and majesty. She often taught her that a daughter-in-law should have the demeanor of a daughter-in-law, and she has always been the object of her longing.

But yesterday's corpse was at least eight feet long, and the exposed bones were as smooth as newborns, thin and frighteningly thin, with such a strange shape, how could it look like a human.

Yun Xiang clutched the brocade quilt tightly with both hands, and said tremblingly, "Mother was killed by that ghost doctor."

Suyun's face turned pale, she really didn't want to recall, she said timidly: "Madam has suffered a lot under the hands of that devil."

Bi Yue said: "You should tell Xiangye about this matter, if Xiangye knows about it, he will definitely not let him off lightly."

"Father won't believe it," Yun Xiang said with difficulty, "Not to mention that father needs him, now that mother has been buried, it is impossible to dig it out to prove it."

Suyun said in disbelief: "Is it just letting him go like this?"

Yun Xiang's haggard eyes showed a hint of coldness: "I will catch the opportunity sooner or later."

When she ascended the phoenix position, she didn't want to let anyone die.

Delicacy Pavilion, wing room on the second floor.

The second prince was dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe, standing with his hands behind his back, and there was a man kneeling in front of him.

The man is about 30 years old, short, but has a pair of big hands that do not match his figure. He is dressed in a suitable Imperial College green skirt, and he looks a little tired.

The second prince didn't look at him, and said in a deep voice: "Shen Jiang, are you sure about the test in three months' time?"

Shen Jiang hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, Cao Min devotes himself to studying hard every day, and the timing is sure."

The second prince raised the corners of his mouth, sat down casually, and looked down at Shen Jiang: "Royal father attaches great importance to imperial examinations. If you enter the top three, this palace will grant you the position of servant of the household department. If you can't, then this palace can only Abandoned you."

He wants to take advantage of the imperial examination to cultivate the influence of his mother clan. Among the members of the Shen family, Shen Jiang is the best. If he can get the top position in the imperial examination, with his own help behind him, he will definitely be able to occupy a place in the court.
