Mrs. Suiyang Hou was crying all over the place. She didn't believe that her good son suddenly disappeared.

Didn't she agree that her son would go to Lanshan County to pursue Li Changhuan, and then when Li Changhuan liked Ji Heng there, she would send someone to propose marriage?

Married to Li Changhuan, the dowry was large.

She wanted to ask, but she was so filled with grief that she couldn't form a sentence.

At this time, Hou Ji of Suiyang was still a gambler, and he suppressed the grief in his heart. After all, he was his legitimate son. He had been carefully raised since he was a child and was talented, so he expected his son to shine for him.

"Mr. Tang, Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu, my son went to Lanshan County with you. Why did something happen to my son and he died so miserably?"

Tang Ziqian explained it to them when he came back before, but now Suiyang Marquis and Mrs. Hou don't believe it.

However, they were saddened by Ji Heng's death, and they understood the sadness of being parents.

Tang Ziqian saluted and replied respectfully: "Master Ji, when we went there, we were robbed by bandits, but they only robbed property, not lives. The four of us luckily arrived in Lanshan County safely. Except for Brother Liu, Brother Zhengyang and I, Brother Ji Heng has been staying in Gongsun Mansion."

"Everything was fine at first. We were walking around together and enjoying the local customs and customs of Xiguan, Lanshan County. But Brother Ji said he had received a letter from home saying that Mr. Marquis was seriously ill, and he hurriedly took people back to Beijing."

"Of course Brother Liu was worried about Brother Ji, and specially arranged six guards to follow him to protect Brother Ji's safety, but he didn't expect to encounter robbers halfway. According to the guards, they were all stunned and seriously injured. Wait until Wake up, Brother Ji has been killed."

"They did not dare to delay and had no choice but to return to Lanshan County again. This time General Liu and Gongsun Mansion sent two hundred people to escort us back to the capital."

Marquis Suiyang was stunned, touched his beard, and frowned slightly, "I'm not sick!"

Apart from losing some money in gambling some time ago, he ate well and slept well!

"This..." Tang Ziqian was speechless and turned to look at Liu Zhengyang and Liu Xiangan, "We all heard it. We sent Brother Ji outside the city at that time, and Brother Ji told us face to face."

"If I lie even half a word, I, Tang Ziqian, will die a miserable death."

This incident was such a big deal that Ji Heng died without catching up with Li Changhuan. Ji Heng's parents also placed part of the responsibility on him. Tang Ziqian felt very wronged.

Liu Xiangan quickly replied: "Master Ji, really, that's what Brother Ji said at that time. If it were for other things, we could still persuade Brother Ji to go with us. But when it comes to our parents being seriously ill, we can't stop it. .”

Liu Zhengyang quickly agreed, "Yes, what Brother Tang and Brother Liu said is true. By the way, Brother Ji's servant Liu Bao was also there at the time."

Lord Ji has already interrogated Liubao. It is true that he picked these three people up now because he was unwilling to do so.

Mrs. Ji choked with sobs, "How can you let Ji Heng travel alone on such a long journey? Shouldn't you follow Ji Heng back to Beijing?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Ziqian and the other three were unhappy.

Before, they understood Mrs. Ji's pain of losing her son, but now it's wrong to bite them.

It's a rare trip to Lanshan County, and of course you have to stay for a while. Maybe you won't be able to go there again in this life.

In addition, if they followed Ji Heng back in a hurry and encountered bandits again, they might also die.

The little sympathy I had for the Ji family was also exhausted.

"Mrs. Ji, we still have things to do in Lanshan County, so we didn't come back with Brother Ji." Tang Ziqian replied, "I have said everything that needs to be said. If there is nothing else, Tang will leave."

Liu Xiangan also saluted, "Liu takes leave."

Liu Zhengyang hesitated for a moment. He felt that Ji Heng's behavior was a bit strange when he left that day. He wanted to say something, but when he saw Suiyang Hou and his wife acting like this, he shut up. Don’t be so kind as to provide clues and end up blaming him.

"Liu takes leave." Liu Zhengyang also quickly saluted and prepared to leave with Tang Ziqian and Liu Xiangan.

"You..." Mrs. Ji stood up and wanted to ask more questions.

Lord Ji quickly stopped and watched the three people leave.

"Master Marquis, why are you stopping me? Our son is gone!" Mrs. Ji's eyes turned red again. She only had this son, and her only hope was gone.

She is already thirty-five and there is no way she will be born again

In the entire Hou Mansion, where will there be room for her in the future?

Lord Ji sneered, "What can you do if you stop them? The three of them did not go with Heng'er, and the local government also reported this matter. It really has nothing to do with the three of them."

"Are you saying that these three people harmed Heng'er just because they followed Heng'er to Lanshan County?"

When Mrs. Ji heard this, she shouted hoarsely, "Heng'er went to Lanshan County with them, so he must be responsible."

"Didn't you listen to what Liu Bao said? Or Heng'er persuaded Liu Zhengyang and Liu Xiang'an to go to Lanshan County together. Tang Ziqian is sending gifts for his grandmother. He has serious business, and he's not coaxing Heng'er to go there."

"Something happened now. They sent Heng'er here for the sake of being friends. If we are unreasonable, these three families will also break up with us."

Mrs. Ji had only one son, but Lord Ji had several and only one legitimate son.

Now that his legitimate son is gone, Lord Ji cannot ignore the future of the entire Suiyang House.

"Liubao, this useless thing, why didn't he die? Since Heng'er is also dead, there is no need to keep him. I want him to die with his mother-in-law and be buried with Heng'er."

Mrs. Ji is going crazy now. She can't wait to vent her anger and wants everyone to bury her son with her.

"Stop being ridiculous. I'm sad that Heng'er is dead, but life has to go on now. You arrange the funeral so that Heng'er can go away peacefully and maintain the dignity of the Hou Mansion."

"Haha..." Mrs. Ji cried loudly, sobbing silently, "My son is dead, and you still have a son! Of course you don't feel bad. If you don't do anything, I will do it myself. I want these three people to be buried with my son!" "

When the Marquis of Suiyang heard this, he was also startled, "Madam, don't be like this. I know you are sad, but you must not act recklessly! Although we are a Marquis, their family does not have a title, but they have it in the court. Senior official, can’t our family afford to offend you?”

Although the Tang family has declined somewhat in recent years, its heritage is still there and its in-laws are still there.

It's really not something you can do nonsense.

Mrs. Ji now realized that her husband could not take revenge, so she decided to take action herself.

However, Marquis Suiyang cannot be allowed to know.

"Master Marquis, what you are saying is that I am too paranoid." Mrs. Ji said in a deep voice, "I...I'd better organize a decent funeral for Heng'er and see him off on his journey."

Mrs. Ji lowered her head, but her eyes were sinister and cold.

She pawned her dowry to maintain the dignity of the Hou family. Her only son was gone, and she didn't want to continue spending money on a heartless and useless man. (End of chapter)
