Chapter 91 Woman in Red
All the servants in the government were panicked.
A banquet was being held in the front yard, and the guests were waiting for the dishes to be served. However, their dishes smelled so bad that they could not be served at all. Such an unlucky thing happened in the back house again, so it was not necessary to report it immediately.
"No, no, it's not good! Master, the two young masters committed suicide!" In the crowd, the two people who were originally shivering suddenly went crazy. They rushed out of the crowd and ran straight to the front yard, shouting as they ran.
.
Thinking about it, they had no choice but to take action and clear up the relationship in front of everyone before they could say anything else - they did not kill anyone, it was the two children who hanged themselves and it had nothing to do with them.
"Hurry up and stop them!" The nanny in charge is a capable person, so naturally she will not sit idly by. But the two of them ran very fast, but they couldn't catch up no matter how hard they chased.
Soon, everyone in the mansion knew about this.
Chen Zhumin and Chen Zhuying both hanged themselves and died. Their bodies were hung in the room for a month before they were discovered. In other words, the day they died was when the young master fell to the ground.
Dark clouds enveloped the entire Lu Mansion, and for a while, the joy disappeared. Even more good things, the theatergoers, spread the news like a miracle. The Lu Mansion seemed to be an ominous place, and the new wife of the Lu Mansion, He Jinwen, also came from her loving mother.
, turned into an image of harsh treatment of young children.
"Why are you on duty?" The guests dispersed, and Lu Guanting kicked the two wet nurses. Suddenly, they both fell to one side and fell to the ground. Their hair was disheveled and their eyes were sad.
"Master, we don't know either! When the young master landed, they were still fine. But the next day, when we went to see them, they had already died. At that time, people were coming and going in the house, and we didn't dare to report...
…”
"Why do you dare to retaliate today?! In front of so many people, now everyone in the court knows that my Lu family treated my youngest son harshly, causing two of them to hang themselves to death. How can I have the face to serve as an official in the court in the future?"
?!" Lu Guanting was so angry that he immediately asked someone from the government to send the two wet nurses to the government - no matter who was responsible for treating the young son harshly and murdering the young son, he could not be blamed. So who should bear the responsibility?
It can only be those two nannies who lied and refused to retaliate.
It would be fine if these two people could really keep the matter covered up, but they exposed it at this juncture. They couldn't let it go no matter what.
That night, the two wet nurses committed suicide in the jail. Lu Guanting quickly distanced himself from all involvement in the matter. The death of his youngest son was all caused by the two wet nurses, and he had no knowledge of it.
In order to express his condolences, he held a seven-day water and land ceremony at Hongshan Temple outside the city to save his two young sons. The money came from his private treasury and had nothing to do with the general accounts of the Lu family. None of the procedures were involved in the He family.
He Jinwen didn't even pay attention to him when he came forward.
She only cares about her children.
Looking at the swaddled baby waiting for feeding, she said: "It's okay if those two are gone. After all, gossip is only temporary. When this period of turmoil passes, it will not be a heartache in the future."
He Jinwen was born in an official's family, what kind of storms and waves has she never seen? At a young age, it's about wives and concubines fighting, and at a big age, it's like life and death fighting in the court, what kind of scene has she not seen? Zuo is just the child of two ex-wives who died.
My child, as long as her position is stable, nothing will matter.
Three days later, the Water and Land Assembly set up an altar at Hongshan Temple.
According to past practice, although the Water and Land Dharma Assembly is contracted and carried out by one family, when the presiding monks patrol the mountains and circuits, believers can follow them, knocking on sutras and chanting Buddha's name along the way, in order to accumulate merit. But this time,
Not long after the Water and Land Assembly opened, all the believers were kicked out and were not allowed to stay in the temple. Then, the road up the mountain was also blocked and no one was allowed to approach.
At first, everyone thought that Lu Guanting did not want others to discuss this scandal anymore, so he did things quietly. However, soon, people from Jiufangliao were invited to the mountain overnight. There were many people who went. It was heard that the people in the mountain
The paths along the way were all covered with torches - almost all the Jiufang laos who were staying in the capital were out in force.
On the mountain. The maple leaves around Hongshan Temple all turned red overnight. The scenery that should only be seen in autumn is strange and unsettling no matter how you look at the sudden arrival of spring. In the Hongshan Temple, the hand of the host holding a wooden fish is frozen.
, the whole person looked stiff, eyes wide open, looking at the incense table, brought from the Lu Mansion to offer the memorial tablet.
On the tablet, on the names of Chen Zhumin and Chen Zhuying, two lines of blood slipped from the top, flowing in an endless stream, staining the incense stand red. Then they fell to the ground in drops.
The blood appeared on the name of the tablet and could not be wiped off no matter how hard it was wiped. The host closest to the tablet had eyes wide open and no breath.
All the monks and nuns in the room have been under the spell of illusion, and are showing varying degrees of confusion - some of them can wake up, and some can never wake up. And for those who can't wake up, the faces of each of them have a look on their faces.
They were all extremely frightened.
"How could this happen?" He Xing, the general manager of Jiufangliao in Jingcheng, felt strong resentment as soon as he came in.
This grievance should have been reported directly to Jiufangliao, instead of being placed in the subordinate temple.
The people below quickly came to report: "Master Lu said that family scandals should not be made public. The impact of this matter must be minimized. The fewer people know about it, the better."
"Confused!" Now, everyone in the temple has been implicated. How can we reduce the impact? Now, I'm afraid everyone in the city knows about it.
They haven't seen anything like this in years.
"What kind of monster is up there that requires so many people from Jiufangliao?" At the bottom of the mountain, among the crowd watching the excitement, a woman in a red cloak, her whole body hidden in the cloak, asked the onlookers.
The believer said: "Hongshan Temple can't save it, so we can only find Jiufangliao to pacify the demon. But seeing that the battle is so huge, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to deal with it."
The onlookers also sighed: "I heard that two siblings hanged themselves together. I'm afraid it's too brutal, so we better not get close."
Everyone was about to leave, but the woman in the cloak had no intention of leaving.
Not only did she not leave, she also stretched out her right hand, revealing a wrist that was pale and not like living skin. A gold armband was particularly eye-catching. She lifted the branches in front of her and wanted to move forward.
"Girl, there's something weird over there, you'd better not go there." The kind person turned around and reminded her.
But she smiled, showing her beautiful, sharp chin, and said: "What a coincidence, I like to collect weird things in this world. The weirder the better."
As soon as the woman in red cloak finished speaking, she flashed and disappeared deep into the dense forest.
When the four or five people around saw it, they all shouted in surprise: "Ghost, ghost..." After saying that, they all ran away. Looking at the posture, it would take three to five months to recover.
