"I have learned the kindness of Lord Mu. However, the affairs of the Zheng family have nothing to do with Lord Mu. We will solve it ourselves."
Mu Jingrui lowered his eyelids, as if he had expected such an ending.
Shangguan Yue and the eldest princess were able to plead for the Zheng family and keep the whole body in front of the emperor and be buried in peace. From this point of view, the Zheng family was not at the end of their lives.
Mu Jingrui didn't have to take action at all, but he couldn't stand Shangguan Wanning being hurt.
Zheng Binghong no longer paid attention to Mu Jingrui's reaction, but walked to the middle position and said loudly: "Everyone, what do you want me to do to let my father and brother go over? You can tell me, as long as I can do it."
These people who wanted to vent their anger for their families were already half weak when the musketeers of Shenji Camp arrived.
Everyone looked at each other, as if they were afraid of being retaliated. No one stood up for a long time.
Finally, after observing that Mu Jingrui seemed to not take action again, someone plucked out and said, "We... we want you to hold Zheng Guoxun's spiritual throne, kneel out of this street, and go to all the soldiers who died in vain.
apologize."
"No!" The eldest princess stood up without thinking and objected.
This street is so long, if Zheng Binghong really walked out on his knees, his legs might be ruined.
"My husband, don't." The eldest princess stepped forward and grabbed Zheng Binghong's arm, lowered her voice and said, "With Mu Jingrui, they dare not do anything. If you really don't want to accept Mu Jingrui's affection, then
I will go back to my house and mobilize people..."
"No need, just do what they said." Zheng Binghong turned around, looked at the two dark coffins meaningfully, and said bitterly, "This is what our Zheng family... owe them."
"Mr...."
Zheng Binghong ignored his wife and ordered the porter to lift the coffin again. He hugged his father and brother's spiritual throne and slowly knelt down.
"Uncle..."
"Brother..."
Shangguan Wanning and Mrs. Shangguan both started crying. They watched Zheng Binghong crawl on the ground and slowly walked forward.
The onlookers automatically stood in two rows and smashed the things in their hands towards the coffin and the spirit seat.
At this moment, Shangguan Wanning felt that the whole world had turned gray.
Such deep sorrow is an experience that I have never had in my previous life.
She thought that rebirth for a lifetime could protect her family from harm, but the result was...
Except for Zheng Binghong, almost all the people in the Yiyong Marquis' Mansion died.
Shangguan Wanning didn't understand why she had done her best, so why did she end like this? Not only did she fail to hold on to her relatives' lives, but she also destroyed the reputation of the Yiyong Hou Mansion for several generations.
Shangguan Wanning, like her mother, was seriously ill.
The destruction of the Yi Yonghou Hou's Mansion was delayed by Shangguan Yue's resignation.
During Shangguan Wan's rehabilitation period, Mu Jingrui did not come to disturb her again. The days passed without realizing it, and the end of the year was approaching.
After the first winter snow, the temperature dropped sharply. The emperor suspended court for three days, and Shangguan Yue also had more time to accompany his wife and daughter.
"Master, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I want to prepare some gifts for Xiaoxiao to give her some money to her, so that she can reward her with some money."
While having dinner, Mrs. Shangguan mentioned Shangguan Xiaoxiao, which made Shangguan Wanning a little dazed.
"No matter what, Xiaoxiao is also from our Prime Minister's Mansion. As the concubine of the King of Qin, she cannot make her too shabby. Master, what do you think?"
Shangguan Yue sighed softly. In fact, when he recalled, he really lacked care for his young daughter.
"Madam, please make the decision. Her mother passed away, so it's hard for you to remember." Shangguan Yue served a bowl of soup to Mrs. Shangguan and handed it over.
"Okay, I'll prepare." Mrs. Shangguan then turned her eyes to her daughter, "Ning'er, aren't you going to the palace to pay tribute to the empress dowager tomorrow? When I saw Xiaoxiao, I asked her if there were any missing items.
Please send it to you together.”
"Oh, I get it."
In fact, Shangguan Wanning didn't want to have any contact with Shangguan Xiaoxiao, and she always felt that Shangguan Xiaoxiao would not appreciate it.
There was another heavy snow in the evening. Shangguan Wanning went into the palace to pay tribute to the empress dowager. Under the guidance of the eunuch, he walked into the door. From a distance, he heard a crisp laugh.
"Ning'er is here?" The Empress Dowager smiled even deeper when she saw Shangguan Wanning, and waved to her, "Come on, come on, sit next to Ai's house."
"Empress Dowager, why are you so happy? Your face is smiling like a flower, and you all look twenty years younger." Shangguan Wanning sat down next to the empress dowager and teased with a smile.
The Empress Dowager poked Shangguan Wanning's forehead and smiled and said, "You are so sweet that you will please the Ai family. The Ai family is really happy today. If you say it, you will be happy too."
"Is that true?" Shangguan Wanning was a little curious. "Empress Dowager, what's the matter?"
"Your sister Xiaoxiao is pregnant."
Shangguan Wanning's heart skipped a beat and subconsciously looked at Shangguan Xiaoxiao.
Originally, there were only two nannys she had with her, but now, probably to take care of her body, they have become four.
When she and Shangguan Xiaoxiao's eyes met, she could clearly feel Shangguan Xiaoxiao's eyebrows rising, straightening her waist, and looking proud.
"Oh, the only princes who got married under the emperor are the crown prince and the king of Qin. The crown prince has been married for so long, and there are many women around him, but there is no movement. It's still your Shangguan family is lucky, Xiao Xiao is pregnant with the first child, the Ai family is the first one.
What about great-grandson.”
"Congratulations to the Queen Mother."
Everyone bowed and said auspicious and flattering words.
At noon, I asked my parents to leave. Shangguan Wanning was about to go back when she heard Shangguan Xiaoxiao calling her.
She felt a little irritated in an instant, but looking at so many eyes nearby, she still had to do the skills on the surface.
Shangguan Wanning turned around slowly, smiling.
"Is there anything wrong with my sister calling me?"
"Sister, can you talk with me?"
Shangguan Wanning felt that Shangguan Xiaoxiao had no more energy than she had just now, and her eyes were even a little lonely.
"elder sister……"
Shangguan Xiaoxiao held Shangguan Wanning's hand, full of begging.
Shangguan Wanning also wanted to hear what she was going to say, so she followed her to find out the secluded alley.
"Speak quickly and don't delay my return home."
Shangguan Wanning was too lazy to pretend to be intimately affectionate, and she threw away Shangguan Xiaoxiao's hand impatiently.
"Sister, save me..." Shangguan Xiaoxiao knelt down directly on the snow.
"You...what are you doing?"
What tricks do you want to play?
Shangguan Wan frowned.
"Sister, can you go home and talk to your father and aunt, and take me home to live?" Shangguan Xiaoxiao once again grabbed Shangguan Wanning's hand, and tears fell down.
