Chapter 176

After eating, the poor boy and Mr. Lin had tea together, the poorer didn't speak, and Mr. Lin naturally didn't ask first, just drank tea on his own
"When will Mr. Lin go back?" Paoer suddenly asked

"Oh, I've finished my work, and I'm going to go back in a few days," Mr. Lin hurriedly put down his tea bowl and replied

"Master Lin will definitely have to pass through many prefectures and counties when he goes back this time," Paoer said while thinking about his words.
"That's natural" Mr. Lin replied
"Well..." Pao'er said again, "I have some gossip, and I would like to ask Mr. Lin to help spread the word along the way..."

"What kind of gossip are you spreading? Is it worthy of His Highness to give such personal instructions?" Master Lin asked
"As for how to make up the story, it's up to you to decide. It is said that the Fourth Prince intends to rebel..." Pao'er said

"Ah!?" Mr. Lin was obviously frightened.

"What's the matter? Is Master Lin in trouble?" the poor boy asked again
"No...it's not difficult..." Mr. Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I just don't know why? Isn't this fourth prince the biological father of His Highness? Rebellion will lead to the death of the nine tribes..."

"If he hadn't been my biological father, I wouldn't have spread it like this." Pao'er said with a smile, "It's just that Mr. Lin must not pass it on in person. Find a few smart people and go to the market to find talkative people to pass it on. Don't do it." Don’t bother you”

"Your Highness, don't worry..." Although he didn't understand Pao'er's intention, Master Lin still agreed.

"There is one more important thing to ask Mr. Lin to help," said the poor boy again.
"Your Highness, just ask." Mr. Lin was busy.
"I want to ask Mr. Lin to help me find Hong Yue's whereabouts. There was chaos in the palace that day, but I am very sure that they must have escaped, so after returning, Mr. Lin secretly sent a few appropriate people to visit there... ..." said the pauper

"This is not a difficult task. I will definitely handle it well, Your Highness, please rest assured," Lord Lin said

Many days passed, and the poor boy's life was going smoothly. However, the house was getting more and more chaotic. The old lady fell down and her situation was getting worse day by day. Seeing that the two young masters were about to be full moon, she still focused on them. I was thinking about holding a church party when the moon was full, and I was thinking about inviting the old immortal down the mountain at that time. However, people's destiny is determined by fate. Seeing that the next day was the day when the two young masters were full moon. , but this old lady died in the middle of the night, and the last few things she cared about were never done. It was originally a festive day, but now a mourning hall was set up to hold a funeral.
Over the past month, Prince Yu has been really upset. He is not welcome in the palace. The royal family and the royal family are staying away from each other. The courtiers in the same palace are also acting strangely. Even the people who came to express their condolences during the funeral in the past few days are very few. Those who had invited His Majesty together before The diligent Qingliu also had a serious face, as if he had done something unforgivable.
The old lady was going to mourn tomorrow. That night, the prince felt that the family was really neglected and felt more and more sad, so he walked alone to the poor boy's residence and talked about all the worries in his heart.
The pauper just listened silently. Seeing that the prince had finished everything he had to say, he poured him a cup of hot tea. "I know that dad is feeling depressed recently. As a daughter, I can't help you. Daddy shouldn't pay attention to what's going on outside." Those rumors will naturally dissipate over time. No matter how bad things are, your majesty and dad are both brothers. If there is any overnight feud, dad just relax..."

"You haven't seen the faces of those people. They are usually eager to kneel in front of the house and rush to fawn over people. Now when they see my carriage and horses from a distance, they turn around and run away as if they are hiding from some plague. Your grandmother The mourning hall has been there for these days, but not a single person has come to see it..." The prince does look a lot more haggard these days. "If they don't come, they won't come. We can't live without them, don't care. "Those snobs" the pauper comforted
"Your grandmother will be buried tomorrow, you should go and see her off." The prince arrived again

The poor child was unwilling to send her away since she was heartfelt, and the old lady had no affection for her, so she only gave her a nickname. Now that she is returning home from Hexi, she still wants her to go. Send it, she naturally refuses

"It stands to reason that I should go to see my grandma buried anyway, but dad knows that my grandma has never liked me and thinks I'm unlucky. Tomorrow is her big day. I'm afraid she won't be happy if I go..." Poverty Er said evasively
"The deceased is the most important person, and you are the most reasonable child. Now that your grandmother has passed away, forget about those things about her in the past. The filial piety is the most important thing for descendants. You should send it off, and everyone in the family should go. You just Your confinement sister-in-law and two little nephews are going, so why don't you go?" The prince advised again.
The pauper still wanted to shirk it, but seeing how uncomfortable the prince was, he really couldn't bear to hurt him anymore, so he gritted his teeth and agreed to avoid embarrassment to the prince.
"Since I'm going to the funeral, I'm naturally with all the women in the house. Ask Wu'er to go to the yard and tell Xiang Xing to bring a few more people to pack your things. You'd better move in with your second aunt. Let's live together. Now no one will stop you. If you go in and live together, your second aunt will have less to worry about..." The prince has arrived again.

"It's all up to daddy..." The poor boy responded.

When Wuer saw that Paoer agreed to the matter, he hurriedly went to the yard to find someone to help him move.
The whole family was in mourning, the prince was very worried, and he lost his usual air outside. The courtyards were much quieter than usual. Even the poor children moved to the courtyards and no one stopped them.
The second lady and Sheng Rongwen were naturally happy to see the poor boy come in, and helped with the work inside and out.
"My son, to be unfilial, this is a good thing..." The second lady hugged the poor boy and whispered, "If the old lady hadn't left, I really don't know when I would see you again. It’s great now, we can see you all day long in the future.”

"My aunt loves me, I know it in my heart, and I will give my daughter time to be filial to you," Qian'er said.

"Good boy, even though your two brothers crawled out of my intestines from beating me, I love you more. This is the fate of us two." After saying this, the second lady glanced at Sheng Rongwen, who was helping with the work. After settling the poor child's residence, he added, "My wife is also a lovable person and is honest with people. You can see how happy you are when you move in..."

"Sister-in-law...sister-in-law..." Pao'er hurriedly called her, "You have just given birth, don't work so hard, just let them do it..."

"No, I don't trust what they did. I couldn't go out when you came back, and I didn't take good care of you. After all, I am your sister-in-law. Now that I am lighter, I naturally have to take care of it myself... "Sheng Rongwen said
"Have a rest. Xiang Xing and Wu'er are both decent people. I think you should make some preparations when you go out tomorrow. You have two children with you, so you have to prepare properly. Don't let the children be wronged. ..." the second lady said
"What mother said is that the wife will go back and prepare first." After Sheng Rong finished speaking, she said goodbye and left.

The second lady suddenly remembered something, so she stopped her again, "I will bury the old lady tomorrow. I should rest in Baiyun Temple when I come back. There is no better place than at home. The beds are all crude things. Remember to bring more quilts." Don't feel wronged, child..."

Sheng Rongwen heard this and said goodbye.
"Baiyun nunnery..." Poor repeated
