Although Qin Hanzhen had doubts, this was the Marquis Chengen's Mansion after all. As the daughter of the third-bred daughter of a separated family, and already married, it would not be good to do so in front of so many elders.
She was confused, so she just kept her doubts deep in her heart and planned to talk to her cousin Qin Jian privately later. If it was necessary to investigate, of course it would be better for Qin Jian, the future heir to the Chengenhou Mansion, to come forward.
With the help of people from the third room, and Qin Zhonghai and his son acting swiftly, Qin Song's body was quickly installed. Fortunately, Mrs. Xu had just been buried and the funeral shed in the front yard had not yet been demolished, so we could continue.
Yan Yong. Qin Shutao took the family manager and went out to find a suitable coffin in person. Qin Jian began to write funeral notes. And before Qin Zhonghai reported his father's death to the palace, he had to discuss it with Qin Bai and others.
How do you want to explain the cause of Qin Song's death? Privately, they must tell the truth to the Emperor and the Emperor, but it is better not to let too many people know about such a disgraceful thing, so they need an explanation on the table.
.
Qin Bai's idea is relatively simple: "My brother has been recuperating at home in the past few years without seeing outsiders. He has always used it as an excuse to recuperate from illness. Now it is said that he has been ill for a long time, and because of the sadness of his wife's death, his condition worsened and he finally died.
If it’s not cured, it makes sense.”
This is a more respectable statement. However, most people in the world know that Qin Song was rejected by the royal family and ordered to stay at home, rather than being really sick. Moreover, he has received many pets in private in the past few years.
He said that he would be so sad that his condition worsened because of his wife's death - who would believe it?!
Niu said: "I don't think you need to give him a good reputation. Just say that he drank too much, fell into the garden pond and drowned, or fell down from somewhere.
, that's alright. Anyway, he has always been an absurd person, and his absurd reputation is very loud in the capital, so it is not surprising that he died in a more absurd way. He is looking for death on his own, and your whole family is organizing the funeral for your sister-in-law outside the city.
, no one can blame you. Who told him to stay by himself to drink and have fun, instead of following his wife to her burial?"
Qin Zhonghai could only apologize. Although this was also a choice, if he didn't want the Cheng'enhou Mansion to become the center of rumors, he might as well handle his father's death as low-key as possible.
Mrs. Yao had been quite silent at first, just sitting aside and listening. At this time, she suddenly said: "Actually, Third Aunt's idea is quite good. People outside may not believe the illness, but if it is said that it is Hou
No one would doubt that I accidentally slipped and fell into the water after drinking. There are many high-ranking families in the capital who lost their lives after drinking and falling into the water. At that time, I would also like to deal with a group of servants who were waiting on me.
, just say that they did not serve the Marquis well, which is too derelict, so no one will make irresponsible remarks. In the future, when I meet others outside and talk about this matter, even if it is a bit embarrassing, our family pretends that we do not want to discuss it.
With the way things are going, it’s hard for others to say anything, so how much trouble can be saved?”
Qin Zhonghai glanced at his wife: "Stop saying a few words. You also know that if my father died because of such a thing, his old man would be embarrassed, and our family would not necessarily have any glory. If we meet someone who is kind and polite,
Of course, people will not mention it rashly in front of us. But if there are people who don't like us and insist on ridiculing us, can you still refute it?! People's death is ridiculous, and there is no way to stop outsiders.
.Even if you want to use the deceased as a big excuse to block it, people may not listen. You think it is easy, but I think it is very troublesome! In the future, whenever anyone in the capital starts gossiping, they will bring up the death of my father.
Let’s talk about it, ten years, twenty years, thirty years! No one will ever forget it! Even if you don’t think about yourself, you still have to think about your son’s face!”
Yao curled his lips and sneered: "Now if I want to whitewash the peace and find a decent way to die for the Marquis, I'm afraid it's too late. Since my wife has gone, in the past twenty days, has the Marquis ever
Aren't you just fooling around? Sometimes you get so drunk that you almost make trouble in the mourning hall in front! Even if others are making trouble in the Songfeng Hall in the back, there are only a few walls between Songfeng Hall and the mourning hall?! Don't say that!
Some of the relatives, friends and guests who were offering condolences had already heard the news. Even some of the closer in-laws were not deaf or blind! They were just pretending not to know to save face for our Qin family. At this time, we need to explain to the Marquis again
He died because of his grief for his deceased wife, whose illness worsened. Everyone knows it is a lie, and they still don’t know how to guess behind it! Don’t make people suspicious, it’s because we think the Marquis is confused and careless in serving him, and that’s why he was created.
His body is dead. Tell some troublesome censor to file a complaint, so you don’t want the reputation of your brothers and sons!"
Qin Zhonghai couldn't help but hesitated. In fact, he had thought about this problem and was a little worried. However, he walked and sat upright. If someone in the court came to question him, he would have his own way to prove his innocence. There was no one around his father at all.
There was a lack of people to wait on them, and their whole family was outside the city when the incident happened. How could there be any suggestion that someone would be killed by neglect? Qin Zhonghai was very calm and still insisted on his point of view.
When Mrs. Niu saw this, she said: "That's all, you and your wife can discuss it, but this is all your family's business. The old man and I have already expressed our thoughts, and in the end it still depends on your decision." But she did not forget it.
Remind Mr. Yao, "You kid is a bit too harsh in temperament. The servants in Songfeng Hall have all served your parents-in-law for many years. Even if you have neglected their duties this time, there are still many people who have followed you."
As for the city. Even if we want to hold them accountable for their incompetent service, we have to find out who was on duty and who neglected their duties, delaying your father-in-law's medical treatment. Everyone else will be punished, regardless of life or death. You
I think this saves trouble, but in the eyes of other family members, it is disrespectful to the elders. In other families, the old servants who serve the elderly like this until they die are all responsible for the master's family to take care of them until they die."
Niu's words were partly because Qin Hanzhen had just said a few words to her, and the other half was her own idea. The Songfeng Hall was so clean, not a single person was seen, not even the magpies and cuckoos were seen.
They must have asked Yao to be detained. Hongyan and the others made a mistake in the first place, and now they are sent to guard Xu's grave, so that's it. What's wrong with Magpie and the others? Even if they want to avoid the news leaking, they can't be so disrespectful.
Are you talking about human relations? So Mr. Niu wants to give Mr. Yao a beating.
Mrs. Yao was a bit sarcastic, with a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes. She lowered her head and said obediently: "Auntie is right. My nephew and wife will definitely handle it carefully and will never wrong anyone. The rest of the nephews and wives will also have merits and demerits.
We will discuss their merits and reward them so that they will not be in trouble. After all...they are people who have served the Marquis and his wife."
Mrs. Niu then nodded with satisfaction and turned to Qin Bai: "Shall we go back first? Once they set up a mourning hall and report their loss, it won't be too late to come over. Don't you want to go to the palace?"
Qin Bai sighed and looked at Qin Zhonghai. Qin Zhonghai looked uncomfortable. Although he rejected the suggestions of his uncle and aunt, he did not mean to be disrespectful, he just wanted to be more cautious. He stood up and whispered to Qin Bai and
Mr. Niu apologized, and Qin Bai waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, we husband and wife just came up with an idea, and it is indeed a bit ill-considered. You must have discussed it with your family, and come to me when you have an idea."
Qin Zhonghai hurriedly took his wife Yao and respectfully sent Qin Bai and Niu away. Qin Hanzhen and Zhao Mo also left, but before leaving the house, they went to find Qin Jian first. Qin Hanzhen simply said
After explaining what he found strange, Qin Jian, although looking haggard and tired, still agreed: "I will pay attention to this matter and tell you when I have news."
Seeing him like this, Qin Han couldn't bear it: "Actually, I just said it casually. You can tell the people below to pay attention, so you don't have to worry too much. You look very tired. You should take care of yourself."
Two funerals in succession are indeed quite tiring for a young man like Qin Jian.
Qin Jian smiled lightly and said: "I will take care of myself, but what needs to be investigated must be investigated clearly. It was my grandfather who died, can I still let those who are responsible for this escape? Even if
If you are an accomplice, you should still be punished."
Qin Hanzhen felt a little relieved when he saw this, and couldn't help but add one more sentence: "Xinlan went out of the city with us yesterday. We were tired from running around and it was very hard. Now something has happened in your house again, I'm afraid
Something will happen to her if she continues to be tired, so you have to be careful and look after her."
Qin Jian's smile suddenly became gentle: "Of course. Even if I tire myself, I still have to take good care of her. She is still pregnant with my child."
Zhao Mo patted his shoulder: "If you need help, just ask. You and I are not outsiders, so don't be polite to me. Later I will send the doctor and Ashou over. The doctor is tight-lipped, so I'll give it to you."
The couple will check their pulse and prescribe a warming prescription, which will not alarm outsiders at all; Ah Shou will give you a start. It is not convenient for him to do things in public, but he can still handle it by helping with some common chores.
of."
Qin Jian naturally knew how capable Ah Shou was and that he had many capable people under his command. The doctor at Suning County Prince's Palace was also very talkative and good at medical treatment, and was also very good at conditioning the body. He hurriedly and solemnly thanked Zhao Mo, feeling very grateful in his heart.
Zhao Mo said some words to him again before saying goodbye with Qin Hanzhen.
Back in the other courtyard, Qin Hanzhen changed into clean homely clothes and came to the living room to sit down. He still felt strange in his heart: "It was quite a coincidence that my great-uncle died. The eldest son became an official.
Ding, you can also keep your filial piety. Although the second uncle originally only had to keep it for one year, but now it has become three years, which is a bit of a disadvantage, but the eldest cousin has not been affected much."
Zhao Mo said: "The behavior of Marquis Chengen recently is indeed a bit ridiculous. It is not unreasonable to say that he died of detoxification due to drinking. Really, you feel weird, is it because the Songfeng Hall is too clean?"
Qin Han really knew that he understood what he meant, and couldn't help but feel sweet in his heart: "Yeah, I think it's quite weird. When we passed by, not to mention the girls and boys waiting in Songfeng Hall, even the rough lady was missing!
Also, what about those concubines who were messing around with my great-uncle? The third uncle said that when they got home, my great-uncle was still in the same state as when he first got sick, and those concubines who were having sex with him didn’t even give him any clothes.
And because they were afraid, they delayed seeking medical treatment. I felt strange, what did those concubines do during such a long period of time, apart from not notifying other people in the family that something was wrong and not calling a doctor?
It was too strange that they didn't even have time to put on some clothes for their uncle. Since they were too scared to seek medical advice to save the life of their great uncle, their protector in Cheng'enhou Mansion, how could they even give him any clothes?
He put on clothes and pretended that he didn't die because of messing around with them, and he didn't expect it?"
