Mountain and River Pillow: Chapter 16
Wei Yun still kept his kneeling posture, lowered his head and did not dare to lift it up.
Chu Yu stood in front of the coffin, holding her hands on the dark coffin, and said nothing.
Although Wei Yun did not say who each coffin belonged to, there were etiquette rules for the placement of coffins. Wei Zhong was the marquis of the state, so he was naturally in the first row alone. Wei Yun was the prince, so On the left behind Wei Zhong's coffin.
In the distance, there was the repressed cries of Chang Street, Chu Yu's hands trembled slightly, she was about to say something, when she heard a mournful cry: "Liu Lang!"
As soon as she saw that Wang Lan couldn't stand it any longer, she jumped down from the steps with her skirt in hand, and went to the last row of coffins.
She was still pregnant, and the maid next to her was so shocked that she hurried to help her, but Wang Lan ran so fast that she threw herself on the coffin and burst into tears.
This howl seems to have broken some taboo, everyone no longer suppresses themselves, or weeps, or weeps loudly, for a while, the Weifu is full of doors, up and down the long street Inside and out, there were all crying.
Jiang Chun had cried a long time ago, even she had already died, so at this moment, she was still able to calm down, her eyes were red, she walked in front of Chu Yu, and said in a hoarse voice: "Young Madam, the seventh son is still kneeling."
Chu Yu suddenly returned to her senses, she turned around, and hurriedly went to help Weiyun: "Seventh son, please get up."
However, Wei Yun did not move, Chu Yu was slightly stunned, and whispered: "Seventh son?"
Wei Yun didn't speak, and his other leg knelt down, from one knee to two knees.
Chu Yu was stunned when she saw the young man kneeling in front of her and kowtow slowly.
"Sister-in-law," his voice was hoarse: "Xiao Qi broke his trust and didn't bring his eldest brother back."
When he went, he said that if Weijun lost a strand of hair, he would raise his head to see him.
However, he is still here now, and what he brought back is full of coffins.
He trembled slightly, and finally, like a teenager, he suppressed his voice: "Sister in law...I'm sorry..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt a hand fall on top of his head.
Though the hand was slender, it was extraordinarily warm. He listened to Chu Yu's gentle voice: "It's okay, Xiao Qi can return safely, I'm also very happy."
Wei Yun looked up blankly and saw the woman's eyes with tears in her eyes. The eyes were tough and gentle, with a strength to support people's hearts. In this howling sound, it seemed a little out of place, especially clear.
Wei Yun looked at her, saw her stand up suddenly, and smiled with him: "Stand up, come back thousands of miles, let's cross the brazier first."
Speaking, she greeted someone, put down the brazier, and helped Wei Yun stand up.
But at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from a distance, Wei Yun and Chu Yu looked up at the same time, and saw a dozen people in official uniforms of Dali Temple parked in front of Weifu.
Wei Yun clenched his fists, and everyone next to him was startled. The maid supported Wang Lan and hurriedly dodged away. Several young ladies who were originally attached to the coffin and cried bitterly also avoided.
The head of the man looked to be no more than thirty years old. He stood on the horse and looked at Wei Yun coldly. He raised his hand and said, "Someone, arrest him for me!"
The moment the sound fell, people from Dali Temple rushed up,
Wei Qiu stepped forward with his guards, drew his sword and confronted the surrounding soldiers, angrily said: "Cao Yan, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Speaking, Wei Qiu looked at the standing coffin, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly: "My house is full of loyalty and sacrifice for the country, and there is no way to arrest this only small child. The reason for the son to go to prison?! Don't you want to deceive people too much!"
Cao Yan is the youngest son of the Cao family. Many years ago, the Cao family sent the eldest son to the army of the Wei family. , and immediately took up the matter of arresting Wei Yun.
The grievances of the Cao Wei family are well known. Now that Cao Yan is here, everyone naturally thinks that Cao Yan is deliberately making things difficult.
Cao Yan sneered after hearing Wei Qiu's words: "What kind of thing are you? This is the imperial edict written by the Holy Master! Your Wei family is greedy for merit and greedy, and you harm my great Chu 70,000 The elite soldiers were killed in Baidi Valley, do you think the matter is gone when people die? Wei Yun," Cao Yan raised his voice: "If you know the face, don't struggle, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Wei Yun didn't speak, he looked up at Chu Yu.
While everyone was panicking, this person always looked calm and calm. When he looked over, she just said: "After stepping on this brazier, you will be able to enter the house after the bad luck."
“Sister in law…”
He made a dry voice, but Chu Yu held his wrist and dragged him across the brazier.
Then she held the wormwood and patted him lightly.
Everyone was quiet, watching Chu Yu as if nothing had happened, just gently sprinkled wormwood water on Wei Yun's head as if welcoming a homecoming wanderer, and then took it from the side Hand the wine glass to Wei Yun.
"Although I didn't return triumphantly, I prepared this toast when you left. Since you're back, let's drink it."
Chu Yu held the wine glass in both hands, and her voice was gentle.
Cao Yan frowned and shouted angrily: "Wei Yun!"
Wei Yun ignored him and looked at the woman holding the wine in front of him.
He thought that when he returned home, he should be faced with a mess, and the door should be full of mourning, and he should be supporting himself and carrying the Wei family forward.
However, he did not expect that he would be able to step on the brazier before coming back, drive away bad luck, and even drink a glass of toast like when his father and brother were still alive.
When he was young, his father and brother did not allow him to drink alcohol. And now if he doesn't drink it, no one will drink it.
He took the wine and poured it down.
Cao Yan was finally helpless, and shouted angrily: "Wei Yun, you are trying to resist the decree, Nancheng Army, you are standing there, are you planning to cover up the Wei family?!"
Hearing Cao Yan's words, Nancheng Army, who had been silent by the side, finally couldn't pretend to be dead. With a gesture of invitation, he said, "Seventh Young Master, please don't make it difficult for us."
Wei Yun glanced at him, then at Chu Yu, and finally nodded.
He held out his hand and let him be chained.
The shackles of dozens of pounds were on him, but he was still upright. Cao Yan asked people to pull the prisoner's carriage over, sneered and said with Wei Yun: "Seventh son, go up?"
Wei Yun didn't say anything, he looked back at the plaque of Weifu, and his eyes fell on Chu Yu.
"Wei's family...to take care of my sister-in-law."
"Don't worry." Chu Yu nodded, her voice calm and firm: "I'm here, the Wei family will be fine."
Wei Yun pursed her lips, but said, "Sister-in-law, also take good care of yourself."
Speaking, he swept his eyes to the young ladies standing beside him, and said loudly: "People can't be resurrected from the dead, it's the people who are alive that matter. Sisters-in-law, don't be too sad, brother. We all know this, and I hope your sisters-in-law can take good care of themselves."
Chu Yu didn't tell Wei Yun what happened at home, but only told where Liang's and Liu Xueyang were going. Wei Yun still didn't know the differences between the women in the family, and was worried about the loss of her husband because of several sisters-in-law too sad.
The third lady, Zhang Han, heard this, turned her head, covered her face with a handkerchief, and cried softly.
It was Yao Jue, and her eyes were red.
However, she and Xie Jiu came from a big family, they knew the situation of the Wei family, and they never dared to get involved, not to mention that the Yao family and the Wei family also had bad relations, and her relationship with her husband was far less than that of others. Young grandma is deep.
It's just a loyal family buried in the bones, a little conscience, will regret it.
Listening to Wei Yun's words, the butler looked embarrassed, he glanced at Chu Yu, afraid that Chu Yu would sue at this time. However, Chu Yu smiled and said with Wei Yun: "You don't have to worry, take good care of yourself in prison, we are all your elders, and you think better than you."
Wei Yun felt relieved, nodded, and got into the prison van.
The prison cart was moving slowly, and he suddenly said: "The Wei family is wronged! Father and brother are innocent!"
"Shut him up!"
Cao Yan's complexion changed greatly, and he swung his whip: "Shut up!"
Seeing him raising the whip, Jiang Chun subconsciously grabbed Cao Yan's whip, Cao Yan realized that he was being blocked, turned his head, and after seeing Jiang Chun, narrowed his eyes: "Second Young Madam? "
"Okay, very good," he glanced at the female family members of the Wei family, and said coldly: "Your Wei family is very good! Where is your madam?!"
No one spoke, Cao Yan raised his voice: "Is there no one in charge of the Wei family now? Or is the current leader of the Wei family a person who dares not even show his face?!"
"The eldest lady went out to save her relatives, and now the Wei family is temporarily in charge of the concubine."
Chu Yu stood up, her hands folded in front of her, and she bowed her head slightly: "Second Young Madam has just experienced the pain of losing her husband and lost her mind for a while, and I look forward to your lord Haihan."
Cao Yan's eyes fell on Chu Yu. After looking at it for a while, he slowly said, "The eldest lady of the Chu family? Married in, you haven't seen your husband yet, have you?"
Hearing this, everyone's faces became unpleasant, even Xie Jiu, who was standing by the side, also felt the humiliation.
However, Chu Yu's expression did not change, as if this was an ordinary question, and calmly said, "Exactly."
Cao Yan looked at Chu Yu, remembered something, and laughed: "I heard that the eldest lady is talented and intelligent, and has always been a person who knows the current affairs, the eldest lady knows that the Wei family has now been convicted, Those who are guilty," he raised his head and looked at the white flowers of the Wei family's mourning hall, "tsk tsk": "Is it inappropriate to give them such dignity?"
"You..."
Yao Jue couldn't bear it any longer, she made a loud voice, but was grabbed by Xie Jiu next to her, Xie Jiu lowered her voice: "Have you forgotten what your father and brother said? Hold back, In the future, you and I will have nothing to do with the Weifu!"
Yao Jue pursed her lips and turned her head away, not wanting to look any further.
She wanted to leave, but for some reason, she couldn't move when Chu Yu was there.
She looked at Chu Yu, saw that Chu Yu was neither humble nor arrogant, and asked Cao Yan: "Now the Weifu is convicted?"
Cao Yan's complexion changed, Chu Yu continued: "Since the case is still under investigation, they are not criminals, they fought for the country all their lives and returned with dignity, why not?"
"Does the young lady not understand what I said, or does it pretend not to understand?"
& nbsp; Wei Jun can't be a widow?!"
I won't embarrass Miss with this thin noodles."
Hearing this, Chu Yu sighed and lowered her head slightly.
"Since the lord is on good terms with my father, please give me this face, and let my father-in-law and uncles be buried in peace."
Cao Yan sneered, he sat up, beckoned to the back, pointed at the coffin and said, "Smash!"
Wei Qiu drew his sword and said angrily, "You dare!"
"Slave of sinners, An dare to draw a sword?!"
Cao Yan stared at Wei Qiu, and said with the others: "Come here, take down this slave!"
"Master Cao!"
Chu Yu raised her voice, she stepped forward and stood in front of the coffin and Wei Qiu, staring at Cao Yan: "Master Cao must do everything you need to do?"
"I've done everything, what about you?!"
When Cao Yan heard this, he laughed loudly: "Do you think the saint will still guard the house today?"
"Then try." Chu Yu stopped in front of the coffin and looked directly at her: "I am here today, if you want to touch the coffins of my father and brother, you will step over my body. ."
She put her hands in her sleeves and looked calm: "My concubine does not dare to do anything to Mr. Cao, Mrs. Cao wants to kill or slash, and the concubine will listen to you."
"Just look at it," Chu Yu's eyes stayed on Cao Yan: "Master Cao thinks that Chu Yu's life is worth much."
