PDLP Chapter 253 Rouze's Boomerang
Chapter 253 Rouze's Boomerang
What Xinghui didn't expect was that this seemed like just a small matter now, but it was enough to change many things in the future.
Xinghui saluted and turned away, ignoring Rongku.
Li Rongbao arrived, and Ulanara's close relatives also came one after another.
He still had a lot of people to deal with.
After all, dealing with relatives is much more troublesome than dealing with outsiders. Xinghui was upset in the front yard, and Rou was even more uneasy in the back yard.
In this backyard, Duoluo Gege should have been the one in charge.
However, after Fei Yanggu's funeral that day, Duoluo Gege fell seriously ill.
Duoluo Gege fell down, and Xinghui's newly married wife fell down soon after.
Therefore, the people in charge were only Yixiu and Rouze.
Everyone gathered in the backyard, and a clear dividing line emerged.
Yixiu was surrounded by Luyun, Jinghua, Ruoxi and several other concubines and princesses.
There were fewer people on Rouze's side. Apart from a few maids, there was only Shuhua sent by Concubine Yi, and two people she had been friends with before she got married.
But in the Ulanala Mansion, the servants in charge still tend to be gentle in their work.
When Luyun was a child, she lived in Ulanala's mansion as a relative and suffered from Duoroggege's cold eyes.
Now, when seeing Rouze instructing the servants to do things, her figure actually overlapped with that of Duoroggege.
This overlap immediately brought back bad childhood memories, and the more he looked at Rouze, the more he hated her.
Lu Yun snorted coldly and said, "This house is really strange. There is a wife standing here, but the concubine can bypass the wife and make the decision."
Luyun is now the legitimate wife of the Guoluo family. Although she did not marry the most favored son in the family, she is the real principal wife.
Luyun was not a legitimate daughter who was raised with great pampering. When she interacted with others, she did not care much whether the other person was born of a legitimate or illegitimate child.
It's just that I thought that in the past Rouze always acted like a legitimate daughter and bullied others. Now that she has become a concubine, it is natural that she will poke at the right places.
As soon as these words were spoken, the others exchanged glances, and saw strangeness or disdain in each other's eyes.
"Does this mansion still only value legitimate daughters and legitimate sons? Even if the legitimate daughter becomes the concubine of the illegitimate daughter, they still don't know how to restrain themselves?"
Among the crowd further out, some people who knew a little about the Ulanala Mansion were talking in low voices.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yun immediately responded:
"Not only that. I heard that there was a bastard son in this mansion, named Xingchan, but he was forced by the new head of the family, the former legitimate son Xinghui, to serve as a soldier on the front line."
Jinghua reached out and secretly pulled Luyun's sleeve, indicating to her that the occasion was special and it would be better not to make the matter known to everyone.
Lu Yun understood and immediately gave Jing Hua a look that reassured her, then continued loudly:
"Okay, I know I have to keep my voice down."
"Hasn't everyone noticed that Master Xingchan hasn't come back yet?"
"what?!"
"This is too much!"
"How can you not let a son go home to attend a funeral?"
Everyone was shocked and finally couldn't help but start talking.
More speculation followed.
Someone said: "This battlefield is ruthless, he must know that, maybe he wants to take advantage of the opportunity..."
A sneeze!
Xinghui, who was standing in the front yard, suddenly sneezed violently.
He frowned and looked outside. Although it was winter, the temperature in the capital was still much better than on the battlefield.
Why did I suddenly feel cold?
Rouze naturally heard such speculation.
But this is really unfair to Xinghui.
The reason Xing Chan was sent away was only because Xinghui was worried that Xing Chan would show up halfway and inherit the title.
As for being a soldier, Xinghui was just showing off his temper and he really had no intention of taking anyone's life.
Before, Rou Ze even advised Xinghui to take direct action, but Xinghui refused on the grounds that it couldn't be too obvious.
Rouze stood aside in silence.
After all, such a reason was not a glorious one, and she could only watch as everyone threw more and more dirty water and speculation on Xinghui.
The death of Fei Yanggu was more of an ordinary gathering in the capital.
It was not until a new round of paper burning began that everyone was infected by the atmosphere and slowly fell silent.
Xinghui, Rouze and Yixiu lit up incense sticks and candles, and the sounds of mourning and music outside came into their ears.
Kneel down and kowtow.
The burnt paper ghosts were like pieces of black butterflies, flapping their wings aimlessly and flying away with the wind, without a unified direction. In the blink of an eye, they fell to the ground and merged with the snowflakes that had not yet melted.
The other young people also knelt down and kowtowed three times, lit a stick of incense, and then helped the host family to light incense, filling stacks of paper money into the incense burner until all the paper money and incense sticks were burned out.
A little incense flickered, and was finally blown away by the wind.
-----------------
Xinghui still knelt quietly beside the tombstone.
I don’t know if it’s because I think that after the worship, more troubles will begin and I feel heavy in my heart; or because I think of my father and feel sad again.
Rouze took the handkerchief handed to her by Fangluo, wiped her hands, picked up another one and handed it to Xinghui, and pulled him up from the ground.
"After this is over, I will go back to Beile Mansion."
Rouze and Xinghui explained.
Xinghui nodded to show that he heard it.
Yesterday, he talked with Rouze for a long time, and they both mentioned briefly what they were going to do in the next few days.
Next, they will split up and act separately.
------------------
When she returned to Longjing Pavilion, Rouze was in a trance for a moment.
When he left, it was the 43rd year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi, and when he returned, another year had passed.
Because of Fei Yanggu's death, none of them attended the palace banquet.
He took a bath and changed his clothes, washing away the bad luck and fatigue he had acquired in the Ulanala Mansion.
Rouze set out to visit Hongchang.
After not seeing him for a few months, Hongchang had grown a little, but his brain had not recovered much.
"Sister, thank you for your hard work in taking care of Hongchang for me." Rouze stroked Hongchang's little face and greeted Qi Yuebin.
After all, he was her own son, and he had been given such high hopes, so Rouze felt a little distressed.
If it weren't for Yixiu, why would she be so worried now, and need to find a way to have another child with Yinzhen, and be separated from her own flesh and blood.
Qi Yuebin thought Rouze was here to take Hongchang away.
After all, her father has just passed away, and Rouze cannot sleep with him for the time being, so she might want to take her son back to take care of him.
