Chapter 246 – Hanging
Hua Hua whined and screamed, jumping to the inside of the bed to lie down.
Jiang Yishi also lay down, tossing and turning until the latter part of the night before falling asleep.
The next morning by the water fragrance wake up, Jiang Yishi look at the pillow, really Meng Zhimo did not come back.
At this time just at the beginning of the dawning hour, it was she who had asked Shui Xiang to call her yesterday, she wanted to make tonic soup for the old couple. The old couple was stimulated by this, especially the old lady, doubly struck, afraid that their bodies could not withstand it.
Walking out of the main room, the cool and fragrant morning breeze hit their faces. The sunrise in the east has just emerged from the roof, and the sky is tile blue. The mist on the ground has not yet dispersed, a dewdrop hangs on the leaves on the flowers, and the birds are all awake, chirping and singing ……
Without Fu’s piece of haze covering it, the sky was actually so clear and bright.
Jiang Yishi took a long breath, the fresh air seemed to surge through her body, so comfortable that she gave a light hmmm before walking towards the backyard.
When she arrived at the small kitchen, Sister Wu and Shui Zhu had already prepared the ingredients. They were talking about Fu, their laughter open and slightly abrupt in the silent morning.
Not only did they make the tonic soup, they also made the scallion pancakes that the old master loved, the trough cakes that the old lady loved, and the fried dumplings that Meng Zhimo loved.
When they were done, Jiang Yishi let the three maids take them and went to Fu An Hall.
Hua Hua woke up and followed them.
When I came to Fu An Hall, the maid said that the old master and the son of the old master have been in the outer courtyard, the old lady due to anger has not yet got up.
Jiang Yishi asked people to take the grandchildren’s breakfast to the outer courtyard, and went to the door of the old lady’s bedroom.
The old lady life hobby, not dress up clean up will not go out of the bedroom to see people. Even before the body is not good to get up, to see the younger generation, will let the subordinate to comb the hair, face wash, and even will be a little makeup.
A little later the old lady came out. She was obviously not in good spirits, walking a little shaky.
Jiang Yishi helped her to sit on the kang in the west side of the house, and took out the quilt soup and cakes, plus the breakfast sent over by the kitchen and the main kitchen, and set up a bed of several.
The old lady knew that Jiang Yishi’s tonic soup was good and asked, “Did you send it to your grandfather?”
Jiang Yishi smiled and said, “I sent it.”
The old lady then asked Grandma Bi, “How are Resignation Feather and Maiden Hua?”
Sister Bi said, “The second and fourth masters have been accompanying the third master, and the second madam stayed at Liudan Yuan yesterday to keep the second girl company.”
The old lady’s face became even more sorrowful, “With that shameless mother, resignation feather and Hua’er are pitiful.” Looking at Jiang Yi shi, she added, “Alas, girl Yue and resignation ink are even more pitiful, their own father doesn’t love them, and their stepmother’s lack of virtue and bad conscience. Master Husband and I are one busy, one sick, being deceived by that shameless Fu, sorry for those two children.”
Said, shed tears.
Sister Bi relieved, “Fortunately, God is long eyed, Shizi master and great aunt didn’t get screwed to death ……”
Jiang Yi thought sadly that in her previous life, Meng Yue and Meng Zhimo were the ones who were screwed to death.
Just after dinner, the second madam, third madam, second grandma, and Meng Yue came.
Several girls and maidens didn’t come.
The second madam said, “After half a night of enlightenment, girl Hua is finally better, she is still not awake yet.”
The old lady started cursing Fu again, and also scolded her eldest son a few times. She also had someone find a set of valuable jade head and face, a red jade pendant, and rewarded Meng Yue and Meng Zhimo respectively as a sign of comfort.
As they were talking, a granny from the outer courtyard came to report, ”Old madam, I heard that Fu hung herself in front of the Marquis Zhennan Mansion’s gate last night and died. Before she died, she also had someone send a letter to the old Duke of China, in the letter, she said that she lost her virginity before marriage because she was cheated by Zhao Hu, and Zhao Hu used this as a handle to force her to do things for the Marquis Zhennan. She doesn’t want to live, and she wants to die in front of the Zhao family ……
“The old Duke of State is furious and is ready to take the Shizi Master to fight up to the Marquis of Zhennan, and has also asked the Second Mistress and the Second Grandmother, the Great Aunt’s nursemaid, Sister Lin, to go to the front yard and follow the Second Elder Master and the Second Master to the Payment House. The family and the old lady, the Duke of State, the third master, and the second girl please ask the great grandmother to look after them.”
Calling on Sister Lin was a cry for Qu.
The crowd was startled.
The Second Lady and Second Grandmother looked at each other and hurriedly got up and went to the front yard. Meng Yue asked her maid to call Sister Lin to the front yard again.
The old lady said sadly, “Heaven’s sins can still be violated, but self-inflicted sins cannot be lived.”
Her body swayed and she was about to fall down again.
Jiang Yishi said, “Eldest sister help the old lady to bed and rest, third aunt go and watch the second girl.”
She also asked the two grannies to check on Duke Cheng and Meng Zhuyu.
Other than the old lady, those three people Jiang Yishi was not willing to look after, nor would she let Meng Yue take care of them.
Only after serving the old lady to bed did Meng Yue walk out.
Jiang Yishi was quite happy and didn’t deliberately suppress her emotions. She just hated Fu!
Seeing that Meng Yue’s complexion had been bad, Jiang Yishi asked, “Big sister isn’t happy that Fu died?”
Meng Yue sighed, “Ever since I found out that Fu did so many unethical things, I hated for her to die, and felt that calling her mother for so many years was dirtying my mouth. But just now when I heard that she died, my heart is still a little sad, and I don’t hate her as much. Alas, people die like lights, everything is taken away. She went to the Zhennan Marquis House to hang herself, must have felt more indebted to my father ……”
Jiang Yishi said, “I still hate her as before. If we hadn’t planned ahead, Big Sister, Resignation Mo, and Grandfather, would have all been killed by her.”
Meng Yue blushed and sighed, “I’m useless, Sister Lin always says I’m too soft-hearted.”
Jiang Yishi didn’t deny it and nodded, “Big sister’s heart is indeed too soft. When dealing with some people, some things, you absolutely cannot be soft-hearted. Otherwise, the one who dies is yourself.”
Soon, news came from the outer courtyard that the old Duke, Meng Qimo, and the second madam led a fight to the Zhennan Marquis’ residence, and the second master, Meng Qimo, and the second granny went to the Fu residence.
Those two grannies came again to report that the Duke of State was lying in bed asleep, and the third master was accompanied by the fourth master. They also said that the third master is like a fool, since yesterday, he did not eat, no matter how the second master, the fourth master persuade, he is lying on the bed and did not say a word …….
Jiang Yishi secretly grunted, she said, Meng Rui Yu is a useless man who can’t get up, once encountered a blow will not be able to do anything, and never recovered. In the past life, I was really blind, on the pole to marry him …….
As for Duke Cheng, he was a heartless and selfish man. He is difficult not only because he was cheated by Fu, but also feel shameless to see people. When the mood is cleaned up, he will happily find another woman to live with. Fu s words were right, Qu s and Fu s are his passers …… by, not just the two of them, all the people around him are his passers by.
At noon, Meng Yue stayed at Fu An Hall to look after the old lady, and Jiang Yishi went back to the Floating Life Residence.
Having not seen her mother for a long time, Xiao Zhaocun was humming uncomfortably again. Flower has long since returned, and the people at Fu An Hall can’t take care of it.
After Jiang Yishi finished her lunch, she carried Xiaozhaocun to the east courtyard to put him to sleep, and was about to go to Fu An Hall when Meng Lan and Meng Frost came hand in hand.
