Tianqi curled his lips, and said slightly unhappy: "I seem to have seen this person before, but I can't remember it. Mr. Tong, what's his name? Is he also from Wumeng?"

Tong Ke was slightly taken aback, as if a little embarrassed, and said slowly: "He is a person with an indifferent personality by nature, and he doesn't like to be known, and I have promised him that he will never be mentioned to outsiders. This is also a coincidence. I met a few people who came over and had a face-to-face meeting, but I’m sorry I can’t say more. After all, this person has been doing business between the two countries, which is absolutely not allowed in the court of the country. I really don’t want to add risks to this person, but it is It doesn't matter whether you know it or not."

Tianqi was a little annoyed, he was sure that he had seen that man before, but he just couldn't remember, frowned, and suddenly smiled on purpose, pretending to be distraught, and said: "Oh, I'm only interested in curiosity, but I forgot the truth Master Tong is about to face a great tragedy. Master Xuan, if you don’t hand over Tong Hao’s ashes to Master Tong, by the way, there may be one or two unburned bones in the ashes,—”

Tong Xiaoye looked at Tianqi in astonishment, he made it clear that he did it on purpose.

Just as he was about to explain, he saw his father's pale and astonished face. He was at a loss for a moment. He stared blankly at the box in Xuan Jinmo's hand, tears streaming down his face. He knew that Tianqi knew that Tong Hao was not dead. , but gloatingly mentioned.

"Father, actually—" Tong Xiaoye gave Tianqi a hard look, and said.

"It's actually better than suffering in prison." Xuan Jinmo immediately continued, "Father-in-law, let's go in and talk, it's windy outside."

Tong Ke's body trembled slightly, tears streaming down his face, and he let Tong Xiaoye reach out and help him into the front hall in a daze. After hearing the news, Tong's wife who rushed over hugged the urn and cried bitterly. My grandson, as the old saying goes, it's not bad at all to be relatives in the next generation.

Tong Xiaoye waved her hand, signaling the servants in the hall to back down, looked at Tianqi, and whispered bitterly, "Why do you deliberately torment people like this?"

"For the sake of your Tong family." Tianqi said half-truthfully, "Now that everyone knows that Tong Hao has been executed in prison, it is possible that you want your husband to waste all his hard work and get into a lawsuit. If the emperor knows that Tong Hao is not dead, ten Xuan Jinmos are not enough!"

Tong Xiaoye was extremely sad in her heart, only she knew that if it wasn't for protecting her, Tong Ke and his wife would not have to stay away from this place at all. It is far away from the capital, and the news is a little bit closed, just enough to ensure that her identity will not arouse suspicion from outsiders. If it wasn't for this, Tong Hao might be able to live a healthy and happy life under the care of Tong Ke and his wife.

At least he won't be left unattended after his mother's accident.

Thinking about it this way, she resented Xuan Jinmo again, and turned her head to stare at Xuan Jinmo. Xuan Jinmo was comforting Tong Ke, her words were steady, and her expression was sad. In the mezzanine of the carriage, there were some doubts about whether he knew.

"Father, mother." Tong Xiaoye looked at the upset Tong Ke and his wife, and wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say, her voice hesitated.

"It's not a bad thing to let them cry." Xuan Jinmo's voice sounded just right, "It will be boring if you are always bored in your heart."

Tong Xiaoye was a little frustrated. She had a feeling that these two people did it on purpose, but she couldn't tell. If she told Tong Ke and his wife at this time, it would naturally make them feel like a false alarm, and then they would be overjoyed. However, if it really spread, The emperor will definitely not spare Xuan Jinmo lightly.

"You hate them and that's why you let them really think that something happened to Tong Hao." Tong Xiaoye said to Xuan Jinmo who came to her side in a very low voice, with some complaints in her voice.

Xuan Jinmo said calmly: "Yes, but after their great grief, they can know that Tong Hao is not dead, and they will thank God, but, as for me, my mother will never come back. Tong Hao is dead. They will have other grandchildren. As for me, my mother is dead, and there will be no more. I am kind to them. If it were the same as before, I would definitely hide Tong Hao and let them live in sorrow forever middle!"

Tong Xiaoye was startled slightly, lowered her head, and said nothing more.

Tianqi looked at Tong Ke and his wife who were crying into a ball, and there seemed to be a little unbearable in his eyes. He glanced at Xuan Jinmo and was about to speak.

"No, wait until the funeral is held, it's going to make everyone in the house grieve." Xuan Jinmo said indifferently, "It's just a few cries, no one will die."

Tianqi raised his eyebrows and muttered in a low voice: "Anyway, he is also my savior, and he also knows my identity. I am just curious about who the man who left is. He didn't look at me, but I feel that he knows that I am Who, I look a little like him, but he deliberately doesn't look at me for one reason, that is, he knows me and who I am, so I'm annoyed, so I deliberately don't tell Tong Ke that his grandson is still alive, you Woolen cloth?"

Tianqi is not very clear about the grievances between Xuan Jinmo and Tong Ke, and some of them are just guesses.

Xuan Jinmo said in a flat voice: "I'm just protecting myself. If the emperor finds out, he won't spare me. I haven't planned to ruin my bright future because of the Tong family."

Tong Xiaoye lowered her head in frustration, unable to express her feelings.

Tong Ke woke up from his grief earlier than his wife, suppressed the pain in his heart, and ordered people to settle Tong Hao's ashes, and he would wait for Tong Hua'an to know the news before deciding how to settle Tong Hao's ashes.

The entire mansion was full of sorrow. Although Tong Hao had committed a lot of crimes, he was the blood of the Tong family after all, and he was dead, so all the guilt could be lightened.

The mourning hall set up for Tong Hao was prepared very quickly, and Tong Xiaoye sat in it a little dumbfounded, especially looking at Xuan Jinmo and Tianqi who had sad expressions on their faces, they were really sad and silent, which made Tong Xiaoye feel sad. Sorry for not showing the same sadness.

Especially since she is Tong Hao's aunt.

"Tong Hao's ashes are getting too much reaction in the capital, so I don't think Tong Hao's ashes should be buried in the capital for the time being, so as not to cause public outrage. If the father-in-law does not object, you can put Tong Hao's ashes here for the time being, and quietly pay homage to him." " Xuan Jinmo suggested calmly, with some appropriate sadness in his tone.

Tong Ke gave a long sigh, and said wearily: "You can't live without self-inflicted crimes, and he asked for it. I dare not bury him in the ancestral grave for what he has done, and let him stay here even if he is not yet an adult." Well, although this place is said to be far away from the capital, the folk customs are simple and the mountains and rivers are beautiful, I hope he will be a good person in his next life, even if he is just a villager in the mountains.”
