Chapter 603 The Concubine Has Gone (3)
The servants and servants below have already seen that the noble concubine has fallen out of favor, and now seeing that no master is paying attention to the funeral, all of them are playing petty and lazy.

When Caixia got the letter and rushed back, she saw that the coffin was not the best nanmu, and there were few objects buried with her. The burnt paper before the coffin was gone and no one added it in time. silhouette.Although it seemed that the mourning hall was solemn and sad, and the slaves and maidservants kept their voices and held their breath with sadness, and the monks and priests took turns to chant sutras, but in fact they were done hastily and vulgarly.

Caixia cried bitterly, feeling that her mother's death was a bit strange, and felt that her mother's funeral was too simple and felt aggrieved for her mother.

She yelled heart-piercingly, and kept saying that she was not filial and did not let the concubine Fang Gui enjoy a day of happiness.

Yun Xia was holding back sobbing, but when she saw her sister couldn't help it, the two sisters threw themselves on the coffin and wailed.

Seeing this, the third wife hurriedly ordered the girl and the mother-in-law to go over and help them, and dragged the two sisters to the small hall behind to rest temporarily.

"That day when I went back home to see my aunt, although I didn't see that she looked like a good person, but I saw that... It's only been a few days, why did she let go?" Caixia cried and asked the third wife, "My aunt passed away so quickly. Big things, why don't you see Fifth Brother guarding the spirit? Where is he?"

"Aunt Fang's illness has been dragging on for a long time, and it is not easy to barely sustain it until now. You should have heard something at your in-law's house, why do you ask such a thing? After being so stimulated, how can Aunt Fang Survive? As for your brother's unfilial son, he has no position to appear in front of your biological mother's spirit!" There was no outsider in the room, so the third wife naturally told the truth.

Caixia burst into tears when she heard the words, her original guess was finally confirmed, and she also understood the reason why the funeral was so simple.

But the person lying outside is her biological mother after all, if she doesn't speak now, the funeral of the biological mother will be handled by others.

Thinking of this, she wiped her tears and took off the bracelet on her wrist, and said sadly: "It was not easy for my aunt to pull our sisters up when she was young, and now it is too late to be filial... The bracelet on my wrist was originally given by my aunt. Yes, now asking mother to allow me to put it by my aunt's side is considered a little filial piety of mine." After saying that, she shed tears again.

The third wife immediately understood what she meant when she saw her, and said with a cold face: "I shouldn't have said these things to you, but now you are no longer an ignorant girl in the house, you have already married and grown up. When you got married At that time, in order to make your dowry decent, your aunt took out all the precious items. Now the old lady and the master are annoyed, not only because of what you know, but also because of what you don’t know enough The crime of beheading! If the old matriarch hadn't cared about the past friendship and the reputation of the Marquis, your aunt would be thrown into the wilderness now! I advise you not to care about anything, don't say anything, just do your best It is your duty to cry and see off your aunt. No matter what your aunt is, you are still a girl from the Hou Mansion, you must remember this!"

As soon as these words came out, Cai Xia was stunned, there was something more serious than Yi Ling's incest, what exactly was it?Could it be that the third wife invented it to scare her.Looking up to meet the third wife's serious and warning eyes, her heart flickered for a moment, and she was a little terrified.

With the death of her biological mother and the ruin of her own brother's future, who else in her natal family can she rely on?If she pissed off her father and grandmother again, she might really become a helpless duckweed.

Now that her in-laws know about the scandal in the mansion, even though they are all kind on the surface, she can clearly see the disdain in the eyes of her sister-in-law and mother-in-law.Because she is the young lady of the Hou family after all, so the in-laws' family dare not be presumptuous.Without the halo of Miss Hou Fu, she might be abandoned like a bad person.

Seeing her eyes flickering and then dimming, the third wife understood that she finally gave in.

The third wife couldn't help but feel a burst of disappointment in her heart. After all, her own glory and wealth are more important than the funeral of her biological mother.On weekdays, the noble concubine dotes on Caixia the most, always saying that she is the most similar in temperament to her.Now this is really true. Their mother and daughter are equally selfish, and they can give up anything without principle for their own benefit.

"Mother is right, but my aunt is our biological mother after all." Yun Xia next to me said in a tearful voice, "We are the young ladies of the Hou family, but we are also my aunt's daughter. Children should put the word filial piety first. My sister's behavior may not be in line with the rules, but it's just for a word of filial piety. My mother has believed in Buddhism for half her life and is the most kind-hearted, so let me grant my sister's request."

At this juncture, it turned out that Yun Xia, who had always been unpleasant and dull, dared to fight for some face for Fang Guifei.

Caixia was startled when she heard her sister's words, and in front of the third wife, she talked about her biological mother, opening and closing her mouth as filial piety.Even a girl like her who came out of the Hou's mansion to get married didn't dare to say anything clearly, how could my younger sister say whatever she wanted without any concealment!
You know, Yun Xia is still young, and she will have a long time in the Hou Mansion.If you offend the aunt, it will be difficult to find a satisfactory family in the future, and the rest of your life will be ruined!

Caixia hurriedly winked at her sister, but when Yunxia saw that the third wife didn't respond, she knelt down and begged bitterly.

Not only did the third wife not scold, but her eyes softened.She pulled Yun Xia up with her own hands, and said: "You can add things to the coffin if you want, but you can only put one. I think your aunt will know that seeing the things is like seeing you, and I will feel comforted. You My aunt has been clever all her life but she was mistaken by her cleverness, but she gave birth to a good daughter!"

Before Yun Xia could say a word of gratitude, the mother-in-law came in outside and said that the side concubine of Prince Rui's residence had come, and the third wife hurriedly left the two sisters and went out.

Seeing that she was gone, Caixia hurriedly started talking about her sister.

"My sister's words are all for my own good, I understand that in my heart. It's just that besides us, who else can speak for my aunt now? If we don't even say a word, my aunt will be so angry that she won't be able to close her eyes when she goes underground." Although Yun Xia is timid, she is a twisted person. If she gets into the horns of a bull, ten bulls will not be able to pull her back.

Cai Xia knew her temperament, besides, she was in such a mess right now that she was not in the mood to talk too much to her younger sister.She quietly asked Yun Xia about Yi Ling's whereabouts, but Yun Xia didn't know anything about it.

There were guests who came to mourn outside one after another. When Yiling was not around, their sisters accompanied them. They couldn't stay in the inner hall for a long time and hurried out.

The people who came to pay homage to mourning did not see Yi Ling, they were guessing wildly in their hearts, and some people who couldn't pretend to ask asked.The third wife only said that Yi Ling was already ill, and the birth mother was hit hard when she passed away.

This statement rounded up the rumor that Yiling was ill a while ago, and it was not so inconsistent that people would immediately expose it.But everyone looked at the specifications of the funeral with cold eyes, and they all had calculations in their hearts.
