Chapter 482 Life and death are boundless
When Qi Ning heard this, his heart trembled.
His body actually had nothing to do with Jinyi's family, but when he thought of the strange and eccentric Liu Suyi, he was very touched by his "sex" for his young son.
Then he suddenly thought that if Liu Suyi died of dysfunction, why would the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion have no news about this?
Qi Ning knew that the conditions of this era were not as advanced as those of later generations. There were many women who died of difficult labor. In this era, it should be ordinary things. Whether it is ordinary people or princes and nobles, such things will come to every family at any time.
Such things are not shameful things, but are extremely tragic.
Liu Suyi sacrificed her "sex" life for the sake of Qi's family. Logically speaking, the Qi family should have sympathy for the general's wife. Even if the family members in the deep courtyard did not care about it, it would never be possible to hide such a thing. However, the performance of Jinyi's family was that no one in the whole mansion allowed to mention Liu Suyi. If Liu Suyi died of a difficult labor, why would Jinyi's Marquis' Mansion be so heartless?
He only thinks that it is unreasonable.
"Uncle Xiang, then...will you see my mother's body?" Qi Ning asked immediately: "If my mother passed away, the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion would definitely 'fed' the funeral."
Xiang Baiying thought about it, then shook his head and said, "This is what I have always been worried about. In fact... because of this, I have found your father."
"ah?"
"It is rumored that your mother died of dying childbirth. I was sad and didn't care about anything else, so I wanted to see her for the last time. However, the Marquis of Jinyi refused anyone to see her." Xiang Baiying looked solemn: "Your mother is the general's wife after all. Although I have become sworn brothers,... since the Qi family has stopped me, I can't force myself to break in. I thought of sneaking into the Marquis of Jinyi after three o'clock in the evening. However, my martial arts at that time were not as good as the present. Moreover, the Marquis of Jinyi was on high alert at that time, and even called the people from the Marquis of Shenhou to protect him."
Qi Ning frowned, feeling more and more strange.
If Liu Suyi died of dying from labor, even if she closed the news to the outside world and did not want to disturb her, there was no need to mobilize the people from the Shenhou Mansion to guard.
The Shenhou Mansion is the "gate" of the yamen, which has nothing to do with the "gate" of each yamen, and is only responsible to the emperor. Those who "get it" are always just affairs in the martial arts world. Jinyi Marquis' Mansion is the marquis of the empire. If it were not special, it would be impossible for the people from the Shenhou Mansion to go to guard it.
"I was sad in those days. If I couldn't send her to the last journey, I would have lost my love for your mother." Xiang Baiying's eyes actually had a hint of wetness. "So I wanted to wait until her funeral day to secretly send her away, but... but I stayed in the capital for half a month, and there was no movement at all, and there was no funeral in the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion...!" Frowning, he sang for a moment: "The people from the Shenhou Mansion stayed in the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion for a full half month and finally withdrew."
Qi Ning's expression was also extremely solemn.
Eighteen years ago, the old Marquis of Jinyi was still alive, and Qi Jing was not the famous general of Chu. However, as the eldest daughter-in-law of Jinyi Marquis' Mansion, she died of childbirth and would inevitably have a grand funeral. Even if there was no movement in the Marquis of Jinyi Marquis' Mansion, Liu Suyi's family would definitely not sit idly by.
"I wondered in my heart that if your mother could not handle even a funeral for her after she passed away, how could she be able to do it well?" Xiang Baiying sneered: "I was young and energetic at that time, so I went to the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion to see Qi Jing. Your father asked me to enter the mansion. I told him about my swornship with your mother. He had known it for a long time. I asked him why he didn't hold a funeral for your mother, but he only said that your mother was a member of the Qi family. How to deal with it is a Qi family's business and has nothing to do with outsiders."
Qi Ning couldn't expect that there was such an old past story back then, so she couldn't help asking: "Uncle Xiang, what happened later? Did you see my mother's body?"
"Qi Jing only told me not to get involved in the Qi family's affairs in the future, so he no longer said anything to me." Xiang Baiying said lightly: "After I left, I sneaked into the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion that night. The mansion was as quiet as usual, and it seemed that your mother had never existed. I didn't see your mother's body in the mansion, but I saw you at that time."
"See me?"
"You are still in your infancy." Xiang Baiying's eyes were soft and he stared at Jining: "At that time, the grandmother of the Marquis of Jinyi's Mansion was taking care of you. I secretly looked at you and couldn't find your mother, so it was difficult to stay in the mansion. In the next two years, I sneaked into the Marquis of Jinyi's Mansion two or three times, and kept trying to find clues about your mother, but your mother had no news from then on. I also captured the servants in the Marquis' Mansion and asked. No one of the servants in the Marquis' Mansion knew where your mother was."
Qi Ning couldn't have imagined that such a strange thing happened in the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion back then, and frowned and said, "Uncle Xiang, are you sure my mother...she has passed away?"
"Actually, until now, I don't know whether your mother is alive or dead." Xiang Baiying smiled bitterly and said, "I have been secretly asking about your mother for years, but there is no news. Later, I succeeded as the leader of the Beggars' Sect and secretly sent people to find your mother, but there is no news." Chen Yin for a moment, then said, "Your mother's 'sex' is lively and clever. If she still lives in the world, it is impossible for her to leave any news. Moreover, your grandparents were still in the world at that time, and your mother would not not visit them."
"Yes, where is my grandfather now? Are you still in the capital?" Qi Ning suddenly thought that the maternal clan of Liu Suyi could not disappear, but he had never had contact with the Liu family before.
Xiang Baiying frowned and said, "You haven't seen your grandparents before?" He thought of something and sighed, "Yes, you used to... Well, that's it."
Qi Ning knew what he wanted to say.
The real prince of Jinyi was called Jinyi's fool, and his head was not clear. Since Xiang Baiying has always been very concerned about Jinyi's family, he naturally knows about this matter.
Everyone knows that Prince Jinyi was kidnapped and left Beijing. After returning to Beijing again, his mind became bright.
But few people knew that the current Jinyi Hou Qi Ning was no longer the Prince of Jinyi.
The prince in the brocade was not smart, and naturally did not know the worldly ways. Xiang Baiying naturally thought of this and sang a little, and then said: "Your grandfather was the 'suit's's son of the Ministry of Rites at that time. Less than half a year after your mother gave birth to you, your grandfather suddenly submitted a resignation to the court, and the court also agreed. I remember that at that time your grandfather was only in his early forties and was less than fifty years old, but he returned to his hometown in Yueyang early."
"My grandfather is from Yueyang?"
Xiang Baiying nodded slightly and whispered: "I can't go directly to see your grandfather, so I have been sending people to stare at him in secret, hoping to find a clue about your mother." Xiang Baiying sighed: "But your mother has never appeared in Yueyang in the past few years. I was still lucky in the first few years and hoped that your mother would still be alive, but... now it seems that your mother may have passed away long ago."
Qi Ning originally wanted to know Liu Suyi's condition from Xiang Baiying, but after hearing it today, the doubts in her heart became even more serious.
The aristocratic families have some secret things that are unknown to outsiders, but the strange situation like Liu Suyi is still extremely rare.
Thinking that Xiang Baiying had been thinking about Liu Suyi and searching for him over the years, Qi Ning felt even more fond of him and said softly: "Uncle Xiang taught me martial arts because it was because of my mother."
Xiang Baiying sighed: "When you were young, I had seen you secretly several times. In fact, I also had the intention of teaching you martial arts and self-defense. However, the Marquis of Jinyi is a pillar of the court. If you teach you martial arts and be discovered by the Qi family, it will cause trouble. I am a member of the Beggars' Sect and have never had much contact with the court. Back then, the Beggars' Sect signed iron-blooded texts with the Shenhou Mansion. People in the world should not be linked to the officials of the court, so if someone knows that I am circulating your martial arts, it will be very unfavorable to the Beggars' Sect."
Qi Ning understood and smiled and said, "I was not very smart at that time. Even if I teach me martial arts to my uncle, I wouldn't be able to learn it."
"Hahaha..." Xiang Baiying smiled and said, "I was so strange at that time. I thought that your mother was extremely smart, but why did she give birth to a confused boy like you. Fortunately, your intelligence is not inferior to your mother. If your mother knew you were now, she would be relieved." After a pause, she said, "Last year you were kidnapped and left the capital. I was not in the capital at that time. When I arrived in the capital, you had already turned into danger and felt relieved. Later, the capital city was infected with the poison. You helped the Beggars' Sect escape the catastrophe. The Beggars' Sect owe you great kindness. I have been looking for the truth behind the poison. I happened to find that the swing appeared in the capital city. He kidnapped you out of the capital, and I followed all the way to see what kind of "flower" he was going to play."
Qi Ning smiled and said, "It turns out that after I was kidnapped and left the capital, Uncle Xiang followed me all the way."
"If it weren't for this, I'm not a god, how could it appear so in time?" Xiang Baiying smiled and said, "It was not entirely because of your mother that day. You have kindness to my Beggar Gang. The Beggar Gang has a clear grudge. If you are in trouble, you will naturally help you." He asked, "Elder Zhuque gave you Zhuque Order, can you save it?"
"Ah?" Qi Ning immediately remembered that Elder Zhuque did give him the talisman and said that with the Suzaku Order, he could send the disciples of the Beggar Sect from the Seven Constellations of the Beggar Sect in the South. At that time, he thought that Elder Zhuque was grateful for his kindness to them, so he gave them generously. At this time, when he heard Xiang Baiying's question, he immediately understood: "Uncle Xiang, then... did you ask him to 'should' me?"
Xiang Baiying smiled and said, "Without the gang leader's reply, do you really dare to give such important things to others easily? The rumbling order can mobilize the disciples of the Beggar Gang from the Seven Constellations of the South. If the gift is not human, it is unimaginable to use the rumbling order to mobilize the disciples of the Beggar Gang to do evil." Speaking of this, Xiang Baiying's chest stagnated and coughed violently. Qi Ning hurriedly supported him, patted his back lightly, and said worriedly: "Uncle Xiang, is your injury very serious? It's really not possible. Let's set off for the Kuimulang branch now."
Xiang Baiying coughed for a while before shook his head and said, "Don't be anxious. When you go out now, you will easily be caught by them. Don't be impatient. I... I'm fine."
