Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 177 The Death of Rong Feiyan (Please subscribe)
"Madam, is there anything going on with grandma?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

"It's okay. Grandma was already awake when I went there. I was just worried that Minglan didn't look well," Hua Lan said.

"There is nothing we can do about it, but I thought about it carefully. Now that the officials are covering up this matter, no one will say anything in the short term. There will definitely be discussions after a while, and the one who talks more should be Rong Feiyan. No one should talk about Sixth Sister," Yuan Wenshao said.

Gossip also depends on people. In comparison, Rong Feiyan's status is more noble, the Sheng family's reputation is average, Minglan is still a concubine, and there is no comparison with Rong Feiyan.

And he knew that Rong Feiyan would commit suicide, and more people would talk about it then.

When King Yan rebels, who will care about these things?

"That's what I say, but this matter is also a stain, and I can't hide it. It will be difficult for the sixth sister to marry into a good family." Hua Lan sighed.

"Maybe some people don't care about this." Yuan Wenshao said.

He felt that with Gu Tingye's character, he shouldn't care about these rumors.

"Hopefully."

Hua Lan sighed and did not continue the topic, but asked: "Official, what are the letters and golden beads you gave me before?"

"Don't ask too much about this matter. I don't know much about it yet. Go and burn the letter. The bead is well hidden and must not be seen by anyone." Yuan Wenshao said.

Now he, Qin Li and Minglan Hualan are the only ones who know about Zhuzi.

Qin Li was very loyal to him, and Yuan Wenshao couldn't do anything to kill someone just to keep it secret.

As for Minglan and Hualan, he still trusted them. Neither of them were people who couldn't hide things.

"it is good."

Seeing that Yuan Wenshao's words were so serious, Hua Lan simply took out the letter without even asking, without reading it, and burned it in front of Yuan Wenshao.

……

In the next few days, everything was calm in Bianjing, and no one talked about what happened on the night of the Lantern Festival.

In addition, rebels appeared in Jiangnan, and the leader of the rebels proclaimed himself emperor. The officials were furious and sent troops to annihilate the rebels.

This incident became the most talked about thing among the people in Bianjing after dinner.

On the fifth day after the Lantern Festival, a piece of news quickly spread throughout Bianjing City.

Qi Heng, the only son of Duke Heping and Princess Ning of Qi, was engaged to Princess Jiacheng, the beloved daughter of King Yong, and they chose a date to get married.

……

Moriya
Minglan basically stayed in her room these days and rarely went out, and she became much thinner.

When he learned about the engagement between Qi Heng and the head of Jiacheng County, even though he had expected it, he was still very uncomfortable.

"Girl, are you okay?"

Xiao Tao was a little worried when she saw Minglan sitting there blankly, neither crying nor making a fuss.

Seeing that Minglan didn't respond, Xiao Tao cursed: "It's in vain that the girl disobeyed the old lady for the sake of the young father-in-law. It would be better for him to just turn around and agree to marry the head of Jiacheng County. He is really not a thing."

"Xiao Tao, please stop talking and just leave me alone, okay?" Ming Lan said hoarsely.

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore. But when I went out today, Aunt Wei found me, and she asked the girl to find a way to go to Sanqing Temple." Xiao Tao said.

"I see."

When Minglan heard this, her silent heart felt a glimmer of light.

Because of the incident of being kidnapped that day and knowing that Qi Heng was going to marry the head of Jiacheng County, her heart was already dead and she was already planning to become a nun.

After hearing Xiao Tao's words, I remembered that I had not avenged my mother yet.

Thinking of this, Minglan cheered up and thought about how to go out.

Ever since what happened on the Lantern Festival, Sheng Hong had strictly ordered them not to go out.

Minglan's mind was blank and she couldn't think of a way for a while, so she said: "Xiao Tao, go and tell Auntie that I will find a way to go out and meet her in the next few days and ask her to wait patiently. Remember to bring some silver to Auntie when you go. "

"Yes." Xiao Tao responded.

……

Minglan was not the only one who was troubled by Qi Heng.

After these few days, Rong Feiyan has recovered somewhat.

Not eating, drinking or talking like at the beginning.

"Girl, the weather is nice today, let's go to the garden and bask in the sun. It's not good to stay bored in the room all the time."

Rong Feiyan's personal maid Yuanyang advised.

Rong Feiyan was silent for a while and nodded.

"Great, come and help the girl dress up."

Yuanyang said the same thing, but he didn't expect Rong Feiyan to actually agree.He quickly called the maid to dress up Rong Feiyan.

After Rong Feiyan finished dressing up, Yuanyang chose a peach-pink coat that Rong Feiyan liked best and put it on for her. He helped her up and said with a smile: "Girl, let's go."

Yuanyang helped Rong Feiyan to the garden and started strolling around the garden.

"Girl, here are the flowers you asked me to plant last year. It won't be long before these flowers bloom slowly, and they will definitely look beautiful then." Yuanyang said with a smile.

When Rong Feiyan heard this, a picture of flowers in bloom appeared in his mind, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly.

"Girl, you haven't eaten much these days and you are weak. Let's go to the pavilion over there to have a rest." Yuanyang said.

Rong Feiyan didn't say anything, just nodded.

Yuanyang helped Rong Feiyan walk towards the pavilion. When passing by the rockery, she heard a voice.

"Have you heard that the young master of the Qi family is going to marry the head of Jiacheng County?"

"Don't say this nonsense. The officials have warned you not to discuss this matter. If you are caught, you will be in trouble."

"It's okay, we are the only two here. What are we afraid of? The officials won't let us talk because we are afraid that the girl will hear. The girl hasn't been out for several days, what are we afraid of?"

When Rong Feiyan heard that Qi Heng was going to marry the head of Jiacheng County, her already pale face turned even paler.The body trembled slightly.

The reason why she was kidnapped was because of Qi Heng, but this matter had nothing to do with Qi Heng, and she didn't blame Qi Heng.

But she hated the Lord of Jiacheng County very much. Now the person she liked wanted to marry the person she hated the most. Rong Feiyan's already fragile nerves were a little unbearable.

Yuanyang let go of Rong Feiyan, quickly walked around the rockery, and shouted at the two rough ladies who were working on the other side of the rockery: "You bitch, what are you talking about? I'll tell the housekeeper later and let him pull you out." Tongues, let’s see if you still dare to talk nonsense.”

The two old ladies were startled. When they saw it was Yuanyang, the female envoy beside Rong Feiyan, they quickly begged: "Miss Yuanyang, we know we were wrong and we will never talk nonsense again. Please don't tell the housekeeper."

"Yes, the housekeeper will definitely beat us to death if he finds out. Miss Yuanyang is kind-hearted, please spare us this time."

"I…"

"what!"

Just as Yuanyang was about to speak, he heard Rong Feiyan's scream. He ignored the two old ladies and quickly turned around to find Rong Feiyan.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Rong Feiyan running in the direction he came from like crazy.

"Girl, wait a moment slave."

Yuanyang shouted and chased after Rong Feiyan all the way back to the yard.Rong Feiyan ran into the room, climbed onto the bed, huddled in the corner, and started crying.

"Girl, don't take those bastards' nonsense seriously," Yuanyang said.

Rong Feiyan couldn't listen at all and kept crying.

Yuanyang had no choice but to ask someone to notify Rongxian.

Rongxian was resting on duty last night. When he was woken up by someone, he was just about to get angry. After hearing what happened, he shouted angrily: "Beat those two people to death with sticks and throw them into a mass grave to feed the dogs!"

After saying that, he put on his clothes haphazardly and hurried to Rong Feiyan's yard.

"Who asked you to take the girl out?"

Rong Xian comforted Rong Feiyan for a few words, but seeing that she couldn't listen at all, he turned to Yuanyang and shouted angrily.

"Master, didn't you say that it's not good to stay in the house like this all the time? You asked me to wait for the girl to feel better and persuade her to go out for a walk." Yuanyang said aggrievedly.

"I…"

Rongxian was a little speechless, but this was indeed what he said.

"Sister, please stop crying. What's so good about that Qi Heng? I heard that he has some confusion with a concubine from the Sheng family. Brother promises to find you a better one." Rong Xian comforted him. .

I don't know if his comfort had an effect, but Rong Feiyan stopped crying.

"younger sister?"

When Rong Xian saw that Rong Feiyan was silent, he reached out and pushed her, only to find that Rong Feiyan was asleep.

"Quickly, lay her down, be careful, don't wake her up." Rongxian whispered.

"Yes!"

Yuanyang responded, and together with a maid, carefully laid Rong Feiyan down and covered her with a quilt.

Rong Xian looked at his sister, who had no trace of blood on her face and frowned, clenching her fists and looking a little ferocious.

"Qi Heng, my sister is like this because of you, and you turned around and married the person who harmed her."

At this moment, Rongxian hated Qi Guogong and his family.

……

midnight
Rong Feiyan woke up. Yuanyang heard the movement and said in surprise: "Miss, are you awake?"

"I'm a little hungry and want to eat something." Rong Feiyan's voice was weak and hoarse.

"Okay girl, I'll ask someone to do it for you." Yuanyang said.

"No, it's so late. Don't wake them up. Just go to the kitchen and see if there's anything edible to bring over." Rong Feiyan said.

"Okay, slave girl, let's go now." Yuanyang didn't think much and went happily.

Rong Feiyan heard Yuanyang's footsteps disappear, got out of bed, and started rummaging in the cabinet.

Soon she found half a piece of white yarn from the cabinet, went under the beam, and threw one end towards the beam.

Because of my weak body, I had to throw it three times before I managed to cross the beam.

Rong Feiyan stepped on the stool, made some strokes, and tied a knot.

"Sister, brother, I'm sorry. Feiyan has embarrassed the Rong family and really has no shame in living."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and stared at the stool.

Yuanyang came to the kitchen, woke up the cook, and asked him to make a bowl of porridge for Rong Feiyan.

By the time the porridge was ready, more than half an hour had passed.

Yuanyang came to the door with porridge, pushed the door open and said: "Girl, when I went to the kitchen, I didn't find anything to eat. So I woke up the cook. The cook said that you haven't eaten for several days, so it's not appropriate...ah~ "

Yuanyang walked around the screen and saw Rong Feiyan hanging in mid-air, eyes closed, motionless.

Yuanyang exclaimed and dropped the tray in his hand to the ground.

After the bowl holding the porridge broke, the hot porridge splashed everywhere.

A lot of it splashed on his body and was burned by the porridge. Yuanyang came to his senses and shouted: "The girl is gone."

……

"What are you talking about, the second girl of the Rong family is dead?"

The next morning, Hualan was feeding Yuan Wenshao some porridge. When she heard the news from Zhang An, her hands trembled and she spilled the porridge directly on Yuan Wenshao's body.

"Officer, you didn't get burned, did you?"

Hua Lan quickly put the porridge aside and wiped Yuan Wenshao's body with a handkerchief.

"I'm fine." Yuan Wenshao shook his head and said, "Zhang An, please tell me carefully."

"Master, I don't know much. I only know that the second girl of the Rong family hanged herself last night. When she was found, she was already dead. Rongxian sent someone to the palace early in the morning to report the funeral to Concubine Rong. We blocked the entrances to the Kaifeng Government Office, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, and asked them to give an explanation," Zhang An said.

"He wants to make things worse." Yuan Wenshao murmured.

Rong Xian didn't make a fuss before, firstly because he was afraid that a big fuss would damage Rong Feiyan's reputation, and secondly because although Rong Feiyan's reputation was damaged, he was fine.

Now that Rong Feiyan is dead, given their brother-sister relationship, it is normal for Rong Xian to do this.

"Official, now that a life has been lost and the matter has become a big deal, will the official take care of it?" Hualan asked.

King Yong kidnapped people and ruined Rong Feiyan's reputation. Now Rong Feiyan has chosen to commit suicide.

As a woman, Hua Lan naturally sympathizes with Rong Feiyan.

"It's impossible. If the officials wanted to investigate, they would definitely be able to find out the evidence. If they wanted to deal with King Yong, they would have dealt with it long ago. The reason why the officials didn't care about it shows that the officials' health is not optimistic. They won't take care of it now." Yuan Wenshao shook his head and said.

"Then the Rong family girl's death was in vain?" Hua Lan said with sadness.

"This matter is beyond our control. There is a lot of chaos now. If we continue to inform you, no one at home will be allowed to go out except for necessary purchases." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Official, before the death of the old Marquis of the Gu family, each family set up a roadside memorial ceremony. Now that the Gu family has freed up space, they said they would hold a thank you banquet. All the posts have been sent. Because Marquis Ningyuan is frail and sick and cannot entertain guests, Mrs. Qin It is not easy for a female family member to entertain male guests, so this time we will only entertain female guests. Should I go then?" Hua Lan asked.

Yuan Wenshao muttered: "It's better to go there."

There is still some time before King Yan's rebellion, so we can't shut ourselves up completely.

……

"Father, I have arranged for people to start spreading the word about the kidnapping of the second girl from the Rong family tomorrow. I have asked people to write more than a dozen scripts. Unexpectedly, this girl from the Rong family has not started yet. If we commit suicide, God is on our side." Zhao Wuji smiled.

"Haha, as the saying goes, everything depends on people and everything depends on heaven. Now that God is on our side, it means that we will definitely succeed this time." King Yan said with a smile.

"Dad, shall I send someone to contact Rongxian now?" Zhao Wuji said excitedly.

King Yan only has one son, and once the matter is completed, he will be the crown prince.

"No hurry." King Yan reprimanded: "How many times have I told you, the more critical the moment, the more calm you have to be. Rongxian sent people to block the gates of Kaifeng Prefecture, the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple Yamen, wasn't he just trying to If he makes a big deal out of things, do he expect the officials to make the decision for him? The best time is when he is desperate. Maybe he can also win Concubine Rong over."

"If we can get help from Concubine Rong, our chances of success will be even greater."
