Chapter 836 Chapter 836
Song Guanzhou's sisters-in-law, along with most of the mourning women in Prince An's mansion, stood behind Prince An's coffin. She glanced over, but did not see the old princess.
Before coming, Qi Yueniang mentioned it, roughly because the old princess was too sad, and the Empress Dowager's decree did not allow her to keep vigil and observe mourning.
This was also to prevent Prince An from calling him to keep him company.
This kind of thing happens a lot among the people. Some elderly people cannot die peacefully and have to grab two close relatives to accompany them.
At this moment, the mourning tent in front was slowly opened, and the light came out.
Qi Yueniang sighed, "Fortunately, no one was hurt."
Song Guanzhou shook hands with her and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law."
She wanted to say a few more words, but when she saw the black coffin exposed from under the paper covering and thought of the cause of Prince An's death, she sighed in her heart, if he were Prince An, he would also die with his eyes open.
Who did you offend for no reason?
What's more, the person who was choked to death in the original novel should be Princess Hong'an, Princess Hong'an many years later.
Rebirth made Jin Fuyun bolder, and he realized that such disasters could be created artificially.
Song Guanzhou sighed, with complex emotions welling up in his eyes. Cheng, the wife of Prince An, glanced inadvertently at the rumored young lady of the Pei family. There was no doubt that she was indeed beautiful.
But the woman looked down at her father-in-law's coffin several times, but she couldn't see clearly what was in his eyes.
Logically speaking, one should just come over and kowtow, with either a sad expression, shedding a few tears along with the filial sons and grandsons of the host family, or a serious expression, just for show.
The expression of the Pei family's daughter-in-law is rarely seen, and it is very strange.
It seemed like he sighed a few times, feeling it was a pity?
Cheng racked her brains but could not figure out what the relationship between this young lady and her father-in-law was. Just as she was at a loss for words, the mourning shed in front was propped up again and light shone in.
The monks continued to chant and meditate, and the drums, gongs and suonas continued to play.
The Pei family continued to burn incense, which had not yet been completed. It was as if nothing had happened. However, when the chaos broke out, everyone was worried, fearing that the strong wind would come again.
The monks were not chanting very attentively, and the mourning tent was supported by three or five pillars as thick as children's waists, but they were still worried that it would fall down again.
He recited two sentences of the Sutra of Rebirth and looked up again.
The whole funeral should have been solemn and dignified, but because of this incident, it made people panic.
After the condolences, Pei An walked up to Song Guanzhou and whispered, "Follow your sister-in-law closely for a while. Erlang sent someone to say that Aunt Qin is with the old princess. If you go there, Aunt Qin will keep you. Follow Aunt Qin today."
"Will you stay for a day?"
Pei An tightened her collar and said, "The funeral will be held after lunch. After returning from the funeral, we have to have a feast. I'm afraid we won't be able to go back until the evening."
Song Guanzhou sighed softly, "The Princess despises me, and I was thinking I'd go back soon to avoid poking anyone's eyes."
Ah!
Pei An lowered his head, the corners of his lips raised, "Don't worry about it, Aunt Qin is protecting you, she doesn't dare to say it."
Song Guanzhou raised his head slightly and looked at the gray sky.
"Is it going to snow?"
Pei An stood side by side with her and also looked up at the sky. "I'm afraid it's going to snow heavily. Diewu and Dieyi are waiting outside the yard. Be careful not to catch a cold. You are weak and you stayed up all night yesterday. You can't get sick."
Song Guanzhou pursed his lips and smiled, "I know."
After leaving the mourning hall, there were first-class servants standing under the wall. Diewu and Dieyi saw Pei An escorting Song Guanzhou out, and hurried over to greet them.
He took Song Guanzhou over and kept asking about his well-being.
Qi Yueniang and Xiao Yinxiu also welcomed their maids, but compared with Song Guanzhou, they still lacked the love and care from their husbands.
"Humph! She doesn't even know the occasion. Why are they being so intimate in such a place? She has no shame, but our Pei family still has some dignity."
Xiao Yinxiu glanced at him and was very annoyed.
Qi Yueniang took her arm and whispered, "The mourning tent fell down just now, and I'm sure Guanzhou was also frightened. Fourth brother gave me some instructions, and it's okay."
"The one who was hit was the monk in the courtyard. What does it have to do with her?"
Xiao Yinxiu couldn't stand it, but she didn't know that there was someone who couldn't stand it even more than her, and that was Jin Fuyun, who was standing on the embroidery tower of Prince An's granddaughter.
After she had explained the situation to Qiuying, she accepted Liu He's invitation and went to the second floor of the embroidery building. The maids brought the charcoal basin, but the smoke was thick before it was lit. Jin Fuyun stood up, limped to the window, and set up the window.
Unexpectedly, this rest building was facing the outer wall of the mourning hall, and Pei An and Song Guanzhou were standing hand in hand, clearly visible.
She stared at the loving couple in front of her and felt that her memory was a joke.
In her first life, she cared so much about Pei An. In front of outsiders, especially in such a solemn place, a couple would never be so close.
Respect is what she cares about most.
But the coquettish woman in front of him not only did not restrain herself, but also talked and laughed with Pei An, sometimes looking up, sometimes lowering her head. Looking at Pei An again, is he still the calm and self-controlled man?
No, no!
It’s not anymore!
Look, he personally helps that little bitch fix her hairpin and clothes. Which couple is like this?
Unconsciously, her eyes became more fierce. "Little bitch, I should have gotten rid of you long ago. I would have let you stay for another year or two, but you changed and even seduced my man."
When his eyes swept over Pei An again, he instantly became sad again.
My dear, I never knew that you actually liked such a woman. In the third life, you went out to marry and take concubines, but all of them were dignified and quiet. When you returned to Pei Mansion and rekindled our relationship as husband and wife, you didn't seem so reluctant to leave.
Why...
The Song family alone has completely changed you, and you have completely lost your former character.
A cold wind blew, pulling her mind away from the past. Her palm was pierced by her fingernails in her sleeve, and the pain woke her up.
Seeing her standing still in front of the window, Liu He walked over and asked, "Sister Fuyun, what are you looking at?"
Out of curiosity, I followed Jin Fuyun's gaze and saw many people standing in front of the courtyard wall where my grandfather's body was placed.
I can't tell who I'm looking at...
Jin Fuyun tilted his head and sighed, "The last time I met the prince, he was kind and gentle, with a kind and smiling face. I didn't expect that we would be separated by the Yin and Yang when we meet again. It's inevitable that I feel a little sad."
When Liu He heard this, he raised his white linen sleeves and wiped away his tears.
"No one could have imagined that my grandfather would leave like this."
As she was weeping, the maids rushed forward to support her, "Third Miss, you are weak and have been crying for a long time. The Crown Prince's wife has ordered that you can no longer cry."
Liu He was born with a weak constitution, so she was exempted from the mourning and kneeling ceremony.
She was the daughter of Prince An's fourth son, who had died of an acute illness some years earlier. Her mother, who had passed away early while giving birth to her younger brother, also lost her father when she was seven or eight years old. She raised her younger brother with the old prince and had a closer relationship with her grandparents.
After Prince An passed away, Liu He fainted several times from crying.
Her family was afraid that she would die at the funeral, so they arranged for maids to take care of her early on, and kowtow and kneel to her as a token of their respect.
