Nine-fold lotus of the famous family

Chapter 302 Surprised by the accident, I hurried back to Danyang (4)
Ji Chonglian glanced at Pei Yan, seeing the care and warmth in his eyes, she felt warm in her heart, and nodded slowly.

Ji Mingxuan and Shi Yi are considered to be of the same generation, and now they are the only elders staying at home in the Ji family. Of course, they have to send the funeral ceremony on behalf of the Ji family. Oh, I am really jealous of talents! Eldest brother-in-law, you should also persuade elder sister, mourning, there are so many things to take care of at home, don't be exhausted."

"Yes, there is fourth brother Lao."

Although Shi Yi had a look of sadness on his face, he was a general after all, and he could afford to let it go. Now that Ji Mingxuan said these words of comfort, he would inevitably have to make a few generous speeches, "Brother Yong died for the country." , He left with honor, and our whole family is proud of him!"

People have already come to Shifu to worship one after another, and after offering incense, they cannot help but exchange a few words with the Shi family, and when they heard Shi Yi's words, they must praise and praise, and there was a burst of excitement from the mourning hall.

Naturally, there were men, women, old and young from each family who came to pay respects. After burning incense, they were all led to two places. Only the Ji family has been sitting in the mourning hall, and their relationship with the Shi family is incomparable. , whether it is to help or entertain guests, he can do his part, and at this moment the mourning hall is not so strictly divided into male and female seats.

After hearing this, Ji Minghui tightly clenched her clothes with both hands, but she loosened them after a while. She slowly raised her head, with a look of determination on her face, and the sarcasm at the corners of her lips disappeared in a flash.

Her son is gone, no matter how brave she is, who can compensate her for a living person?

Hu Shi and Yao Shi both came up to comfort Ji Minghui, but she just nodded politely and didn't say anything, but Shi Rou on the side thanked her obediently, wiping her tears away, but she didn't stop.

Ji Chonglian glanced over with regretful eyes, and happened to meet Ji Minghui's raised eyes, and the two met each other, but the latter bit his lip and turned his eyes away, obviously not wanting to look at her again.

Ji Chonglian only felt heartbroken, the last thing she wanted to see finally happened, and Ji Minghui still blamed it on her.

Yes, without her, how could Shi Yong resolutely join the military camp, and without her, how could Shi Yong have no bones left.

The Shi family did have reasons to hate her!

Ji Chonglian only felt uncomfortable in her heart. She staggered and took two steps back. Pei Yan grabbed her wrist, and a concerned voice sounded beside her ears, "Lian'er, are you feeling well?"

Ji Chonglian shook her head, tears fell silently, she just choked up and said: "I'm a little bored... a little uncomfortable..."

"Then I'll help you out to get some air."

After Pei Yan said this, he turned around and confessed to Zhou Yu who was beside him. Zhou Yu nodded and said in a low voice: "You go, I will tell the old lady later."

Seeing Pei Yan helping Ji Chonglian step out of the mourning hall, Ji Minghui's eyes flickered, but she just lowered her head and tightened the silk handkerchief in her hand. For some reason, as soon as she thought of Ji Chonglian's rejection of Shi Yong, she turned to After marrying Pei Yan, she couldn't calm down in her heart.

If back then... If Ji Chonglian had nodded and agreed to marry Shi Yong, what an enviable couple they would be now, and her son would never have thought of going to the Northwest to join the army, and he would never return.

Is this life? !

Shi Qiang originally greeted the guests, but from the corner of his eyes, he had already noticed Ji Chonglian's leaving figure, and there was a flash of hatred in his eyes, and he confessed a few more words, and then silently left the mourning hall.

The lotus pond in midsummer is full of countless flowers, red, pink, and green lotus leaves. It's really a pleasing beauty, but at this moment Ji Chonglian doesn't care to appreciate it.

Pei Yan supported Ji Chonglian to sit under the shade of a tree beside the lotus pond, reached out and wiped the fine sweat from her forehead with his sleeve, and said distressedly: "You caught a cold in Guangling, and now it's just a good day, and you're running around like this Tired, heartbroken, you don't care about your own body, at least think about me who is worried about you."

Pei Yan squatted in front of Ji Chonglian, her eyes were black and bright, but there was no trace of a smile on her handsome face, and the corners of her lips were tightly pursed.

Ji Chonglian pulled the corner of her lips, and forced a smile, "I'm sorry, I made you worry about me."

"The matter of your eldest cousin..." Pei Yan sighed, with a low voice, "I will send someone to investigate after returning to the northwest. I always feel that this matter is very strange, and I am afraid that there is something hidden..."

According to Shi Yong's current position and Master Shi's care, no one should drag him to take risks together. Now that there are no people, and even the corpse can't be found, this is even more strange.

"You mean big cousin...is it possible that he's still alive?"

Ji Chonglian's expression was startled, but then there was a sparkle in her eyes, she held Pei Yan's hand excitedly, and urgently asked for proof.

"I can't guarantee that."

Pei Yan shook his head, but he was not as optimistic as Ji Chonglian, "After all, someone watched him fall off the cliff with his own eyes. I just think it happened too coincidentally, and there is a hint of conspiracy..."

After staying in the Northwest Army camp for so many years, Pei Yan also became more cautious. It is not uncommon for him to encounter people who stabbed a knife in the back, or took credit for their merits, and even in critical moments, they used their companions to take the blame. Man, he has seen many of these things and will know how to guard against them.

But Shi Yong is different. He has only been in the Northwest Military Camp for a long time, and at most he is a new recruit. It is normal for him to be inexperienced. It is still unknown whether he was instigated and induced by others, so that he acted recklessly and made a mistake.

"OK then."

Ji Chonglian's mood dropped again in an instant, but she was also grateful for Pei Yan's heart.

A maid from Shifu walked over timidly, she kept her head down, stopped at a distance of five steps away from Ji Chonglian and the others, and bowed, "My cousin, Master Ji Si asked the maid to call you and said yes I have something to discuss with you."

Pei Yan was startled, then stood up, he should have gone when Ji Mingxuan asked him, but he was worried about leaving Ji Chonglian here alone.

Due to the large number of guests coming and going today, all the accompanying maids stayed in the large courtyard of the second gate, so as not to cause too many people to wander around indiscriminately, and Ji's house is adjacent to Shi's house, and Ji Chonglian came to mourn with her family. The Caiqiu I brought with me is not by my side now.

"You go, I will come back after sitting here."

Ji Chonglian nodded to Pei Yan, she often comes to Shifu, and she is not unfamiliar with the environment here, but Pei Yan is still not at ease, so she let the maid of Shifu stay here with her, and then turned and left .

After Pei Yan left, the maid took a step forward unexpectedly, which surprised Ji Chonglian. She raised her head suddenly, and saw that the maid's face was full of grief and indignation, her eyes were faintly red, almost He gritted his teeth and called out to her, "Cousin grandma!"
