After rebirth, the down-and-out concubine married the cold prince

Chapter 36

Three days later, Liu Piaopiao's mother died because of dystocia.Liu Yirong felt unlucky, Hu Rui was just wrapped in a straw mat and buried in a mass grave after Hu Rui died.Liu Piaopiao wanted to go to worship, but never got permission.Perhaps this Liu Yufu has gone too far, you, Liu Piaopiao mentioned worshiping his mother, and Liu Yirong agreed this time for the first time.

For this reason, Liu Piaopiao has prepared a lot in the past few days, and she has never seen her mother.The servants in the mansion also kept silent about it.For so many years, Liu Piaopiao's impression of her mother is that Yunjing's oiran has both sex and art.She had also heard from other people how beautiful and lovable her mother was.It's just that if this is the case, why was he rejected by his father later.Not even willing to prepare a thin coffin for her after death.

She folded a lot of paper ingots by herself, her hands were sore and her eyes hurt but she refused to rest.He Zhi looked uncomfortable and made almond butter tea.The fragrance of milk overflowed, causing Liu Piaopiao to look up from the pile of papers.

Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying.

"Give A Jing and Shuan Zi some points."

He Zhi sat down beside her: "Miss, take a break, you've been stacking all morning."

Liu Piaopiao shook her head, "I always want to do something for my mother, if it wasn't for me, she wouldn't have died."

"How can this be your fault?" He Zhi comforted her, "Madam Hu will be very happy to see that you are living well now."

"I hope." Liu Piaopiao lowered her eyes, "I haven't worshiped her in the past 16 years, and I didn't have the opportunity until today. How can I have such an unfilial daughter."

"That's because the master doesn't allow it, and you can't do anything about it. Can't we go to pay homage to Madam now?"

After listening to He Zhi's explanation, Liu Piaopiao felt relieved, "Yes, so I want to burn more paper for my mother, so that she can live a better life down there. When will my mother's rank be enshrined in the ancestral hall?" That's good, so she can also receive more incense."

He Zhi brought almond butter tea to Liu Piaopiao, as if she had to drink it.Liu Piaopiao had no choice but to put down the things in his hands, took the tea and drank it in small sips.

"Yes, when the girl becomes the crown princess, Madam, she can enter the ancestral hall."

Liu Piaopiao didn't speak, she lowered her eyes and wondered what she was thinking.

Liu Yirong always felt that Hu Rui was unlucky, and even the things that were going to be worshiped could not be temporarily placed in the mansion.It would be against his will to say that Liu Piaopiao didn't have the slightest bit of resentment in his heart.One day husband and wife, one hundred days of kindness, besides, Hu Rui also gave birth to Liu Yirong's children, no credit but hard work, why does he hate Hu Rui so far.

Liu Piaopiao suppressed the bitterness in her heart, she had heard people talk about it when she was young.Before her mother died, she begged to see Liu Yirong, but she only got half of her sleeve.It means that you and I have nothing to do with cutting off our righteousness.Shortly thereafter, the mother died of outrage.

How unfeeling.

Without paying attention, the yellow paper cut Liu Piaopiao's fingertips.Blood flowed out, Liu Piaopiao came back to his senses, and piled up all the sacrificial supplies.When I went to the wine cellar, the rose liqueur I brewed a few days ago was ready.A faint fragrance wafted out, somewhat intoxicating.Liu Piaopiao closed her eyes and sniffed carefully.

Remembering that I promised Lu Ji to buy him a drink, many days have passed in the blink of an eye.After worshiping his mother tomorrow, invite him to taste his rose bar.

Liu Piaopiao woke up early the next day, and it was still dark when he arrived at the mass grave.The jackdaws neighed, and the croaking noise was unpleasant.He Zhi shrank back, but Liu Piaopiao didn't seem to feel anything in such a terrifying scene.

Countless grave mounds are raised, and it is easy to step on a grave that has been flattened almost without paying attention.I don't know how long this mass grave has existed. He Zhi only knows that his grandfather knew this place, and his grandfather's grandfather also knew it.

The graves were pressed against the graves, and the shallow buried ones were washed out by the rain, leaving a solitary bone.Groups of wild dogs were digging at the carrion, He Zhi twitched his nose, always feeling a rotten smell lingering around him.

Those dogs looked towards this side with ill intentions, with green eyes and sharp fangs.It seemed that in the next second, he would rush over and tear open his own flesh and blood, and after being eaten away, he would become a dead bone lying there.

Startled by his own imagination, He Zhi hugged Liu Piaopiao's shoulders.

"Girl, I'm afraid."

Liu Piaopiao patted her, "Don't be afraid."

The servant who followed immediately approached and drove the wild dogs away, and lit the bonfire again.The flames ignited to dispel the cold before dawn, and He Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Burn these papers, those buried here are all poor people."

He Zhi pouted, "No wonder it's been stacked for so many days, it turned out to be for these lonely ghosts."

Liu Piaopiao covered He Zhi's mouth: "Shh, don't talk nonsense here, be careful that they follow you."

One sentence frightened He Zhi to shut up and dare not speak any more, and honestly burned the paper.

Liu Piaopiao turned around and knelt on the ground.The tomb in front of him was very low, and the tombstone was just a piece of wood that had been worn away by the wind and rain for a long time, and even the words on it were blurred, only the word Hu Rui could be vaguely discerned.

Presumably Liu Yirong didn't want to admit that Hu Rui was from the Liu family, so he didn't sign her husband's name.

Liu Piaopiao looked at it, her eyes wet without realizing it.She lit the yellow paper, and the flames instantly swept across and illuminated her face.

"Mother," she choked up, "the unfilial child has come to see you."

She fell on the ground, there seemed to be countless things to say in her chest, but she couldn't say a word.Tears fell into the mud and soon disappeared.Liu Piaopiao opened her mouth, and the smell of paper ash and soil mixed into her lungs, and she couldn't stop crying when she coughed.Clinging to the tombstone with both hands, Liu Piaopiao rubbed against the tombstone, as if her mother was stroking her face.It's just that the wood is always cold, not as warm as a real hand, and not soft at all.

"Mother, my child misses you so much."

Naturally, there would be no response, but even so, it was enough to comfort Liu Piaopiao's heart.

She just sat there, feeling very warm next to her dead mother's grave.It seemed that after many years, she had finally found a place where she could accommodate herself.

The mother who gave birth to her with her life must love her, thinking of this, Liu Piaopiao couldn't help but twitched her lips.

She moved her lips, "Mother, the child will definitely move you into the ancestral hall."

Liu Piaopiao patted the dirt on her skirt, ready to leave.At this moment, a woman came to worship with a basket of paper money on her shoulders. Liu Piaopiao thought she was here to worship someone else, but the woman walked up to Hu Rui and knelt down.Liu Piaopiao was taken aback, others said that her mother had no father or mother, she was alone when she came, and she was alone when she went.It stands to reason that no one came to worship except himself.So, who is this woman?
Liu Piaopiao retreated to the side and asked, "Auntie, did you visit the wrong grave? This is my mother's grave."

The graves in the mass graves are next to each other, if you are not careful, you will worship the wrong person, making a foolish joke.But the woman looked up, and was so frightened that she dropped the basket in her arms.

"Ghost, ghost, I didn't harm you, you go to Liu Qian, she ordered me!"

She yelled and wanted to escape from here in a breakdown.Liu Piaopiao grabbed the woman with sharp eyes and hands, and they both fell on the muddy ground together.

Thinking about what she just said, Liu Piaopiao keenly realized that her mother might not have died of dystocia, but was killed by others.

Blood surged in Liu Piaopiao's chest, and she pressed the woman's arm tightly, so hard that she couldn't stop screaming.He Zhi also rushed forward at this time, and the woman was dizzy with a slap.

"Who are you, how dare you bump into my lady!"

Seeing that the woman was no longer moving, Liu Piaopiao cautiously let go of her hand.

"Who are you and why did you run away when you saw me? Tell me honestly, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

The woman raised her head, and looked at the boys guarding around with some embarrassment.Liu Piaopiao made a show, and He Zhi immediately gave the lead servant two taels of silver.

"Go to the side and wait." She turned around, "Can we talk now?"

Liu Piaopiao stood up straight and looked down at the woman.From such an angle, Liu Piaopiao's face was hidden in the shadows.In such a ghostly environment as the mass grave, apart from a sense of oppression, her outline is more like the long-dead Hu Rui.

The woman raised her head tremblingly, and said, "I am Mrs. Lin, and I used to be Mrs. Hu's maid."

Lin kneeled on her knees and crawled towards Liu Piaopiao, until now she finally recognized that the woman in front of her was not Hu Rui who came back from the dead, but Liu Piaopiao who she watched being born 16 years ago.

She grabbed the ground with her head almost piously, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, Liu Qian forced me. I didn't mean to kill Mrs. Hu, please let me go!"

Liu Piaopiao was trembling all over, if it wasn't for He Zhi beside him, he might have fallen to the ground immediately.

She held He Zhi's hand, her eyes were wide open, and she could hardly speak.Just repeating: "Killed, killed, killed."

It wasn't until half a moment later that he realized that he staggered down and grabbed Lin's arm.

"I had a mother, right? She was supposed to be alive, right!"

She cried and kept shaking Lin's arm.Asking again and again: "Tell me, why did you kill my mother!"

Liu Piaopiao turned around again, cried and laughed and said to He Zhi: "He Zhi, my mother shouldn't have died, I should have had a mother!"

Like crazy, she hugged Hu Rui's tombstone and cried loudly: "Mother!"

Lin just knelt down and kept repenting.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Liu Qian forced me, she forced me!"

Liu Piaopiao turned her head abruptly, her eyes were scarlet, and her eyes were ruthless: "Liu Qian forced you, how did she force you, you tell me clearly!"

Only then did Lin weep, telling Liu Piaopiao what happened back then.

She wiped her tears, looked at Liu Piaopiao anxiously, and said cautiously: "Mrs. Hu was pregnant with you back then. The doctor said that the fetal position was not correct. If she had to give birth, she might die. After the lady knew about it, she used my father to blackmail her." Me, asked me to put safflower in the ginseng soup that hung her life on the day Mrs. Hu gave birth."

Hearing this, Liu Piaopiao's heart felt like a knife had been cut.Safflower is a medicine for promoting blood circulation. Pregnant women who drink safflower have a high chance of miscarriage.What's more, Hu Rui was in labor at this time, and it was time to bleed.Liu Piaopiao almost couldn't catch her breath, she gritted her teeth, and said Liu Qian's name, wishing to tear her into pieces.

She braced herself and asked again: "Is this how my mother was killed by your two partners?"

Mrs. Lin shook her head, "Ma'am, she was lucky enough to give birth to you. After that, Madam Hu asked me to frame Mrs. Hu for rape, so she collapsed and died of exhaustion after childbirth."

Steal rape, steal rape.

No wonder, no wonder my father hated my mother so much, he hated her so much that he didn't want to see her again.

She took a deep breath, her heart pounding.

"Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing these things in the future?"

Lin's head was deeply lowered, her forehead was already flushed.

"I know, the lady was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so she beat me up and threw me into the river. Who knew that I was so lucky that I survived. It's just that my father was burned to death by her. I dare not Reporting to the official, I know that if the eldest lady knows that I am not dead, she will be killed without anyone noticing. Therefore, every Madam Hu's memorial day, plus the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, I will come back to worship her. I just hope that in the future, I can go to Jiuquan Go and kowtow in front of her to make atonement."

Liu Piaopiao couldn't cry anymore, her mother had suffered so much.After giving birth to her through untold hardships, not only did she not get pity from her father, but she was provoked by Liu Qian to death without seeing Liu Yirong.

Liu Qian is vicious, but Liu Yirong is unrelenting.

Liu Piaopiao's fingers brushed across her mother's tombstone, and said in a low voice: "Mother, my son is not filial, and I didn't know you had suffered such humiliation until today. It is my son who is useless. I have not lived up to my expectations for so many years. Let me seek justice for you. It is my son. Cowardly, I don't know how to fight. I have been bullied for so many years for no reason, and if I learn the truth today, I will definitely return this humiliation to them in the future."

She wiped away her tears and asked, "How did Liu Qian slander her mother?"

Lin raised her head and glanced at Liu Piaopiao, she seemed a little timid, but now she had to go all out and tell all the truth.

"Mrs. Hu was already weak after giving birth. Although the bleeding has stopped, she still needs to be given needles by the nurse every day to prevent bleeding again. The lady asked me to go to the folks and find a strong man to hide in the house, and lie to Mrs. Hu at night. The master will go to see her. Wait until late at night, when Mrs. Hu fell into a daze, and then let the man in. But in fact, at that time, the relationship between the master and Mrs. Hu had already collapsed because of the madam's instigation. Wait for the man to go in , the eldest lady asked the master to catch the adulterer again, and after this layer of tight layout, the master completely broke with Mrs. Hu. In grief, Mrs. Hu suddenly died, and she died in two days, leaving you, miss."

After all, Lin was going to bump into a tree in grief and indignation.

"I'm sorry Madam Hu, I'm not human!"

Liu Piaopiao grabbed her and gritted her teeth: "What's the use of you going to die now, the thing has been done, can you come back to life if you die now!"

"If you really feel sorry for my mother, just live well, and you will be useful in the future if you are wronged!"

Liu Piaopiao stopped crying and wiped away all her tears.He glanced at Lin on the ground: "Since I am alive, I will clear my mother's grievances and enshrine her in the ancestral hall. You should live well and point out Liu Qian's sins in the future."

He Zhi supported Liu Piaopiao, and he didn't even need to look to know that Liu Piaopiao's heart was completely ashamed.

She said softly, "Don't be afraid, girl, I'm still here."
