The ultimate rebirth of the abandoned woman

Chapter 683 Sad for the Death ([-])

Swah——

The door was opened, Xiao Nan appeared at the door with a pale face, and asked tremblingly, "Who? Who died?"

Yuhan didn't dare to look directly into Xiao Nan's eyes, she half lowered her head, and said slowly: "Ma'am, just now the Yang family came to report the funeral, Mrs. Yang's wife died!"

bang~~
Xiao Nan leaned softly against the door frame, and murmured in disbelief: "What? It's true? Auntie, she really went?"

As early as the moment Xiao Nan's body was tilted, Yuhan rushed to her side, supported her body, and repeatedly comforted her: "Madam, I know that you always respect Mrs. Yang, but the old man has gone, you , You have to mourn~"

Mrs. Yang, the former empress Xiao, Xiao Nan's aunt and grandmother, a woman who has enjoyed all the honor and has gone through ups and downs, a loving elder who loves the younger generation very much, she, she has gone?
Xiao Nan panicked so much, she wanted to reach out to hold down her beating heart, but found that she didn't have any strength in her hand.

"Ma'am, ma'am, please sit down and rest for a while!"

Seeing that Xiao Nan's complexion was not good, Yuzan hurriedly winked at Yushui. Yushui understood, and quickly rushed to the front, helped Xiao Nan's other arm, and together with Yuzan, took Xiao Nan back to the dormitory, helped him Then she got on the Humen Kang.

"I-I'm fine,"

Sitting on the kang, Xiao Nan felt that her body was supported, and her flustered heart gradually calmed down, and she slowly pushed away the support of the two maids.

Suddenly, Xiao Nan seemed to have thought of something, grabbed Yuhan's sleeve and asked repeatedly: "By the way, how is grandfather's place? Is there any news from the ancestral house?"

She remembered very clearly that in her previous life, not long after her great-aunt passed away, her grandfather and grandmother also passed away one after another.

Then there was Ding You, the collective of the Xiao family, Xiao Consort Xiao and Xiao Bo, who succeeded the duke of the country, and directly kept their filial piety for six years.

And at that time, a major event related to the country happened in the imperial court. The men of the Xiao family missed a good opportunity because they were far away from the political center.

Except for Prince Xiao, no one in the entire Xiao family can enter Zhongshu, let alone attend the small court meeting in the meeting hall.

In this regard, the Xiao family has been silent for a while.

It can be said that the death of Empress Xiao was the beginning of all this.

In order to avoid this situation from happening, or to delay this matter, after Xiao Nan was reborn, he often sent fruits and vegetables from the Taoyuan to the Xiao family, the Yang family and other close relatives.

In order to recuperate her grandfather and father's body, she even secretly mixed Yulu into the wine for them to drink.

Facts have proved that Xiao Nan's efforts were not in vain. In this life, although Old Duke Xiao's official career has been as ups and downs as in his previous life, he has always been in good health. The old man is over 80 years old, and he can still quarrel and run on the court with his beard pouted. people.He lived seven or eight years longer than his previous life.

Empress Xiao is also in good health. A few years ago, she was able to ride a horse for a walk around Leyouyuan.

Even half a month ago, when Xiao Nan went to visit the old man, she was still leisurely taking care of her precious peony in the greenhouse, and she didn't feel the slightest discomfort when chatting with Xiao Nan.

Okay, why are people gone?

Xiao Nan's mind was in a mess, and she couldn't figure it out, but she still heard Yuhan's answer clearly: "Master Guo? He is very good. The ancestral house is fine. By the way, I just came to report the funeral. People say that the old Duke, Concubine Xiao and the eldest princess have all rushed over, Madam, you-look—"

"Whoo~~~"

Xiao Nan let out a long breath, stood up, and said in a deep voice: "Take a clean plain suit, I'm going to Yang's house."

"Yes!"

Yuhan didn't delay, and immediately found out the plain clothes, and together with Yushui and the others helped Xiao Nan change and re-dress.

There is a curfew outside, but this curfew, like the law, cannot control the real dignitaries at all.

Xiao Nan bears the title of Mrs. Yipin Country on his head, so his status is already extremely noble.

Moreover, Mrs. Yang has a special status and a high seniority. Most of the dignitaries in the capital have heard the news of her funeral. Home.

Most of these dignitaries live in a few workshops, such as the Qinrenfang where the Cui family is located, and several families have already knocked on the door of the workshop and left the workshop.

However, it is said that the officials guarding the gate of the workshop had just closed the gate of the workshop, and before returning to their rooms to rest, they saw a carriage again, with two plain lanterns hanging in front of the carriage, and a big word "Cui" was written on the lantern.

At this time, the night was getting darker, and it was impossible to see who was coming until they got close, but just looking at the lantern, the clever little official had already guessed who was in the car.

"Dare to ask, but Mrs. Xiao?"

The little official ran a few steps quickly, rushed to the front of the carriage, clasped his fists and asked.

Qin Zhen, who was driving the car, let out a soft 'wow', stopped the car steadily, and then clasped his fists in return and said, "That's right, it's my wife in the car. Today—"

Qin Zhen was about to say, "Madam is going to Yang's family to attend the funeral, so I would like to ask Xiao Lang to make it easier for me." The little official nodded directly, "Mrs. Yang Tai passed away, I have heard about it, and I would like to express my condolences to Madam, so I ordered someone to open the workshop Door, everyone, wait a moment!"

After finishing speaking, the little official turned his head and gestured to his companion.

Those few people understood, and they came to the gate together, lifted the heavy latch, and opened the door.

"Madam please!"

After the small officials opened the door, they retreated to both sides of the door, bowed slightly, and sent Xiao Nan out respectfully.

Xiao Nan opened the window of the car, revealing half of his face, and slightly nodded at the head official, "Thank you, everyone!"

Yuhan hurriedly stuffed a purse to the woman who was following the car, and the woman trotted two steps to the little official, and directly stuffed the light purse into his hand.

The little official hid the purse in his sleeves familiarly, and rubbed his fingers together, hey, it's not a hard object, but brittle paper.

It's flying money!
The little official was delighted in his heart, he knew that these noble ladies were all generous, and he could get rich rewards just by being more respectful and active, tsk tsk, this deal is too worthwhile.

In fact, the little official is very smart, he understands that even if he doesn't take the initiative to open the door, he has to be obedient under the entanglement of those noble ladies.But when things really developed to this point, if they offended them, there would be nothing good for him.

You have to open the door left and right, why not be more active, so you can get a reward.If any noble lady is in a good mood, she might be able to promote him, seeing how smart she is.

No, Mrs. Xiao gave them a lot of rewards.

"Thank you ma'am!"

The petty official held the purse tightly, and seeing his expression, the other petty officials knew that the reward was quite a lot, so they immediately felt better and shouted in unison.

Xiao Nan didn't say anything, just hummed lightly, and signaled Qin Zhen to continue on his way.

After leaving Qinrenfang, turn onto the main road, the street is very quiet, there are almost no pedestrians, and the sound of the wheels of the car is very clear.

The carriage drove very fast, and arrived at Yang's house in less than a quarter of an hour.

Outside the gate of the Yang family, several carriages had already gathered, and several fine horses were tied to the horse tethering stone in front of the gate.

Outside the door, the servants responsible for ushering and sending off have already changed into plain clothes, and greeted the guests with sad faces.

Xiao Nan got off the carriage, and a man in charge greeted him, he recognized Xiao Nan, and hurriedly saluted, "Ma'am, you are here!"

Xiao Nan looked up at the Wutou Gate of the Yang family, and asked in a deep voice: "Grandma, grandma, did she really go?"

The steward wiped his tears with his sleeve, and replied with a strong nasal voice: "So that Madam can know that Madam Tai has passed away."

Xiao Nan's eyes became hot, and the tears that had been suppressed for a long time flowed out.

The steward hurriedly said: "Madam's condolences, Mrs. Tai went very peacefully, she, her old man left in her sleep."

There is no disease, no disaster, and the old man is 88 years old this year. In ancient times, the average life expectancy is only 50 years old. She is definitely an old birthday star. Her death is definitely a joy and mourning.

Xiao Nan nodded feebly, happy to mourn, that is also mourning.

The steward led the way and led Xiao Nan into the mourning hall.

There was a lot of crying in the hall, Xiao Nan found the traces of the female family members of the Xiao family through the blurred eyes of tears, he couldn't help but walked a few steps quickly, walked up to him, and asked in a low voice: "Mother, is grandma alright?"

Xiao Nan asked about her real grandmother, the memory of her previous life was so deep, she was really worried that her grandfather and grandmother would leave too.

The eldest princess was wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she saw Xiao Nan from the corner of her eye, and was about to talk to her, when she heard Xiao Nan's words without thinking.

She couldn't help frowning, and said: "What's the matter with your grandma? It's just that the spring was cold two days ago, and the old man suffered from the cold, and it's too late now, so she didn't come to Yang's house."

Xiao Nan knew that the eldest princess had misunderstood, so he quickly explained: "I, I didn't just hear about my aunt and I was worried about Ah Weng and Grandma."

With her head down, the eldest princess gave Xiao Nan a supercilious look, and said in a low voice, "Of course I know that you are doing it for the good of the elderly in the family, but this is the mourning hall, so some nonsense is not allowed! If outsiders hear it, it's not certain how--"

Xiao Nan said embarrassingly: "I'm not only talking to A Niang, I definitely won't talk to others." Oh, I'm really thinking too much, and I don't speak brains, I really deserve to be scolded.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, go and kowtow to Mrs. Tai first. The old man left something for you when he left."

The eldest princess knew that her daughter would sometimes be a little tricky, but a beating would be enough, she put a handkerchief under her nose and whispered.

"Yes!"

Xiao Nan greeted Yuan Shi and other sister-in-laws again, and then rushed to Mrs. Tai's main bedroom.

The old man had just left not long ago, and there was no small coffin yet, so he was still lying on the couch, surrounded by several female family members of the Yang family.

Xiao Nan didn't look at anyone else, he walked slowly to the couch, looked at the old man who seemed to be asleep, and the tears he had just suppressed flowed out again.

"Grandma, grandma, why did you go?"

Kneeling in front of the couch, Xiao Nan held his face in both hands, and wept bitterly.

At this moment, Xiao Nan couldn't tell whether she was mourning for Mrs. Yang's death, or mourning for the inevitable fate of her family...
