The old lady quickly helped and took out a gray money bag.
"Study to Jiaren and marry Jiayi! Don't marry someone like me!"
Wu Cuihua forced the money bag into Jiaren's hand and looked at the door again, but unfortunately no one came in again.
She was disappointed, and the light in her eyes slowly extinguished, but she still thought about it, "Mom, grave, grave..."
The old lady quickly responded, "Don't worry, I will do what I promised you. You will be buried in the broken gold Beach, a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, Jiaren and Jiayi will visit you and worship you every year and festival. You are the second wife's first wife, and no matter who he marries in the future, he will kneel down and worship you."
Wu Cuihua was finally relieved, and her eyes lit up. With the last tear, I finally let go of my son's hand.
Jiaren stared blankly at his mother's hand, which was dry and thin, nothing like in his memory.
In my memory, my mother rarely did housework because she was lazy, and her hands were white and fat. It hurt the most when she caught him and his brother pinching her a few times.
It seems that in the blink of an eye, it has become like this.
Why has it become like this?
"Mom!"
In the yard, Jiayin heard her brother's cry and suddenly raised her head to look at the room with red eyes.
She has no feelings for Wu Cuihua, but she feels sorry for her brother who has lost her mother and her second uncle who is suffering.
Presumably the same is true for the family members. If they had a choice, they would rather Wu Cuihua live in a good and prosperous place than die at such a young age in the early spring.
It's a pity...
The housekeeper was also worried. If he had known that Mrs. Wu who was washing clothes was the daughter-in-law of the Li family, he would have taken more care of her no matter what.
Now that this man died in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, he was still so miserable. How would he walk around in front of the Li family in the future?
If the Li family becomes angry, he will be resented!
Jiayin sat aside, seeing the chief steward sitting on pins and needles, and comforted him, "Master, my adoptive father said, he who doesn't know is not guilty."
The chief steward almost shed tears when he heard that, and he knelt down in front of the little boy. In front of the master.
"Miss, this old slave really didn't know that she was from the Li family. Moreover, when he rescued her, he treated her for a long time, but she was too seriously injured. The doctor said that she could live for a month. I didn't expect that she would be alive for a month. All the way to Xindu, she didn't die, but she refused to take medicine, as if she didn't want to live.
"I had no choice, so I arranged her to live here. I didn't assign any work or sign a slave contract. She didn't sign a slave contract on weekdays. He eats and drinks the same as everyone else. She was crazy and hurt her face. Everyone stayed away and no one bullied her. In the spring, she suddenly started washing clothes for everyone, demanding money, and everyone gave it. But she doesn't spend a penny and refuses to see a doctor or take medicine. She doesn't know what to do with the money..."
Jiayin guessed that in spring, when their family came to Jiangnan, the Marquis often went to Broken Gold Beach. Wu Cuihua probably heard someone from the Marquis's house talking about it. , originally determined to die, he changed his mind and planned to earn more money and leave it to his son.
Just as Mrs. Li came out holding Li Laosi's hand, she heard most of it and quickly helped the housekeeper with her own hands.
" Don't worry, housekeeper, our Li family is a reasonable family. At first, you didn't know that she was the daughter-in-law of the Li family. She was just a dying person on the roadside. It would be nice to save her and bring her to Xindu to help seek medical advice. No one can take care of an outsider like her own mother. Secondly, she was about to die before. Thanks to you, she lived for two more years and met her family before she died. It is our family's turn to thank you for her. "
The chief housekeeper breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart that was held high was finally settled.
He quickly wiped his tears and bowed his head respectfully, "Thank you, madam, for your understanding.
The old lady sighed, "Everyone is destined to die. No one can blame her for what she is doing now. "
She sat on the chair, hugged her granddaughter, and said, "I still need to trouble the housekeeper. Can you open the back door? " Our family wants to buy a coffin to carry the person back to Broken Gold Beach. "
"Old Madam, you are being polite, as you should be. Also, is the back door for slaves to enter or exit, or the side door from the front..." The big housekeeper suggested, but the old lady immediately rejected it.
"No, big housekeeper, just go through the back door. We have already caused a lot of trouble to the Hou Mansion. If we go through the front door, we are afraid that outsiders will talk about what happened to the Hou Mansion and it will be bad for the Marquis. "
The old lady was so sensible, and the housekeeper was really grateful.
He quickly sent someone to help Li Laosi buy a shroud and a coffin, and then brought them in through the back door.
The old lady asked for warm water and a cloth, and wiped Wu Cuihua's body herself. He kneaded his hands and face, and then put on clean middle clothes and shrouds. Li Laoer and Jiaren hugged Wu Cuihua and placed her in the coffin.
The back door was not far away, and the Li family did not need help from outsiders. Li Laoer and Jiaren carried Wu Cuihua Holding the head of the coffin, Li Laosi carried the tail of the coffin alone and successfully walked out of the back door.
The old lady was afraid that her granddaughter might have some negative energy due to her young age, so she directly entrusted the good news to the housekeeper.
"Will the Marquis come back in the evening? Then let Fu Niu stay here today. The house will definitely be messy. She is a child, so it is best to hide away."
The chief steward quickly agreed, and Jiayin did not go home without making any fuss. .
The family had to build a funeral canopy, choose a cemetery, and hold a memorial ceremony for the funeral, so they really couldn't take care of her.
Moreover, Er Bo Niang has done a lot of evil things before, but this ending is really disappointing.
Everyone in the family may have mixed feelings, so even if she went back, she would be in a hurry and have no choice.
The butler didn't dare to make any more mistakes, so he played with Jiayin in different ways this afternoon.
Lunch is also very rich, with six dishes and one soup, plus white rice and egg custard.
Jiayin tried her best to eat as much as she could without crying or fussing, and even took a nap.
In the afternoon, the Marquis finally came out of the palace.
The servants of the Hou Mansion stood guard at the entrance of the palace. When they saw their master, they quickly told him the whole story.
The Marquis frowned, thinking this was too surprising.
From the old stories of the Li family, he knew about this second daughter-in-law.
I thought that due to the hectic move of the capital earlier, this man would have died in the North. Unexpectedly, not only did he survive, but he actually died in his Marquis' mansion...
"Go back!" The Marquis got on his horse and galloped all the way back. In the mansion, go directly into the main courtyard.
In the east wing room, Jiayin hadn't woken up yet, and the big kang was burning very hot.
There was a maid standing by, dozing off with her chin in her hands.
As soon as Mr. Hou entered the room, the maid knelt down and did not dare to raise her head.
The Marquis asked, "How long has the eldest lady been asleep?"
"Go back to the Marquis, it's been an hour." The maid quickly responded.
The Marquis waved the person out, then picked up the fat girl, felt that her forehead was not hot, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiayin woke up in a daze and saw her adoptive father. She didn't know what was wrong, but she suddenly felt aggrieved.
"Father, wuwu, second sister-in-law is dead. My brother is crying so sadly."
"Father knows," Mr. Hou gently patted the little girl's back and comforted softly, "Father knows that you feel sorry for Er. Uncle and brother."
"No, the second uncle is very bad and bullies me. I don't like her. But she is dead and she is very pitiful..."
Jiayin choked up, thinking of her unscrupulous parents in the previous life, maybe there was something wrong with her. When they died, her mood would be just like her brother's at that moment.
She has been here for more than two years now, and she is probably dead in that world. I don't know when her parents, who have always regarded her as a burden and a stain, discovered that she was gone.
In other words, even if you find it, you won't care.
She always thought that having a family who loved her so much in this life would heal her from the pain in her previous life.
I didn't expect that at such a time, I would suddenly burst into tears...
"Father, I miss my grandma, my dad, and my mother..."
