Chapter 233: Life and Death

Upon hearing the news of Wang Lang's death, Eleven Niang was stunned for a moment.

Wang Lang is dead

How did you die?

Thinking of the things he did to Shiniang, and thinking that Shiniang’s temper was not that of Shiniang’s

The thought flashed across her mind, and her mouth suddenly felt dry.

You know, in this society, it is not a problem for a man to hit a woman, but if a woman kills a man, she will most likely have to pay with her life.

Shi Niang, please don’t do anything stupid.

You must know that they are all concubines. Unless it can be proved that Wang Lang is entirely at fault, otherwise, the Luo family will definitely not stand up for them.

She couldn't help but look towards Xu Lingyi.

But he saw Xu Lingkuan on the opposite side jump up with a cry: When and how did Wang Lang die?

Xu Lingyi saw his wife looking over with anxious eyes, paused, and said: What happened at Youshi in the afternoon. He drank too much and had a conflict with someone. Someone in Shuntian Prefecture knew about the relationship between our two families and sent someone specially.

Come and tell me.

The language is concise and there is no redundant sentence.

Eleven Niang felt strange when she heard this. Xu Lingyi seemed to be avoiding something.

But when I thought that this matter had nothing to do with Shiniang, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Just as he was about to ask in detail, the madam already expressed concern: If the perpetrator is caught, will the Wang family send someone to express condolences?

It was the boss who reported the crime, and the perpetrator was caught on the spot. Xu Lingyi hesitated a little when he said this, but soon returned to his usual gentleness and calmness. Death was like a light going out. Before, he was afraid of Xiao Wu and Wang Lang.

Mixed together, now that Wang Lang is gone, our two families are in-laws after all, so we should send someone to express condolences. But it is getting late today, and the Wang family has just received bad news. It is a time of grief. We should send someone tomorrow.

Go ahead, people

The madam nodded, looking sad: Wang Lang was the only son, and the Wang family was afraid that the sky would collapse at this moment. As she said that, as if she remembered something, she asked Eleven Niang if he had ever left a son and a half daughters.

Eleven Niang shook her head: No

She thought about Shiniang's experience and Jinlian's miscarriage. She wondered if Wang Lang had thought of this when he died and if he had any regrets.

The child's wife's eyes darkened when she heard this, she shook her head and sighed.

The fifth lady advised the queen: Wang Lang was so spoiled that he didn't know how high the sky was, and he was always brave. He often walked by the river, and how could his shoes not get wet? This was also his bad luck.

What do you know? It is the most uncomfortable thing for a white man to give a black man a gift. As the lady spoke, there was water in the corners of her eyes.

Mother Du took a look and hurriedly handed over the handkerchief: Madam, what are you doing? You are surrounded by several gentlemen. You are so sad.

Yes, yes. Seeing this, the third lady busily brought tea to the madam. Please drink some hot tea and feel more comfortable.

Grandma, don't be sad. Several children also rushed forward to comfort the madam.

Madam Tai took Ma Du's handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, then took the tea from Madam Three. She saw several children looking at her with their little faces raised in concern, and her heart suddenly felt warm.

As you get older, you tend to be sad about spring and autumn. She took a sip of hot tea and said it was getting late. Let's all leave. If there's anything else, we'll talk about it tomorrow.

Everyone should disperse.

Mother Du helped Mrs. Du wash her clothes.

Do you want me to send someone to ask about Mr. Hou?

No need. The Madam sighed deeply. The matter has come to an end and there is no point in talking more. Let the fourth child be quiet for a moment. When he has thought about it, he will naturally tell me.

Mother Du nodded and helped Madam change into her sleeping clothes.

Xu Lingkuan was silent all the way to the house.

The fifth lady looked a little worried and crumpled him with her elbow: What's wrong?

Xu Lingkuan said nothing, went to wash up in a dull manner, and lazily went to bed to rest.

The fifth lady thought for a while and leaned over with a pout: Ling Kuan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Otherwise, I'll ask Songxia to accompany you.

Songxia is a second-class maid beside the Fifth Madam. Ever since Xiaolan and the others became married, she has become the Fifth Madam's personal attendant. She is also a beauty with almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks.

No need. Xu Lingkuan looked gloomy and stretched out his arms to hold Danyang in his arms. Unexpectedly, Wang Lang died.

That's what it was for.

After all, they are young and he is soft-hearted.

Thinking of this, the fifth lady no longer dwelled on the matter of bedtime, but rested her head on her husband's shoulder, and said quietly: Yes, no one thought of it. To be honest, I didn't like him when I was young. I always felt that he was

The way he looks at people makes people feel creepy. I always feel that he is restless and will cause some trouble one day. But I didn't expect that he lost his life at such a young age. I just didn't know the perpetrator.

Who knows whether he is Wang Lin, the eldest son of Duke Mao, who is really unlucky to have such a younger brother. It has not been easy for her in the Jiang family these past few years. She has to please the elder and respect the younger one.

She also has to take care of her younger brother. If it weren’t for this younger brother who was holding her back, why would she be like this?

Xu Lingkuan listened to the fifth lady's chatter, touching her head with his hand, but his mind drifted to a far away place.

When the fourth brother taught him a lesson for the nonsense he and Wang Lang were doing, he looked cool on the surface, but he didn't think so in his heart. He ran away when he saw his brother teaching him a lesson. Now that he thinks about it, it's all thanks to the fourth brother, otherwise, he would

Before he knew how many ridiculous things he was going to do, Shuntian Fuyin sent someone to tell the fourth brother. It seemed that he wanted to hear what the fourth brother meant. He didn't know that Shuntian Fuyin was about the dismissal of the fourth brother.

I don’t know if people know it, or if they will be so attentive in the future. Although this matter has little to do with the Xu family, it is related to the fourth sister-in-law’s natal family after all. If Shuntian Fuyin doesn’t give him any face,

, it is a small thing for the fourth sister-in-law to have no face in front of her natal family, and it is a big thing for the fourth brother to have no face in front of the fourth sister-in-law.

I have to think of a way to help my fourth brother.

I just don’t know who the perpetrator is

It's a pity that I just heard the news of Wang Lang's death. I was so shocked that I forgot to ask my fourth brother who the perpetrator was.

Thinking of this, he sat up suddenly, with such a large movement that he almost pushed the fifth lady off the bed.

"Four treasures, four treasures," Xu Lingkuan shouted the name of his personal servant. "Go to Shuntian Prefecture early tomorrow morning and ask who killed Wang Lang."

The boy responded and left.

The fifth lady couldn't help but pull his sleeves and said coquettishly: The Marquis said he wouldn't let you interfere with Wang Lang's affairs, why did you get involved again?

Before she could speak, Xu Lingkuan already said: Don't I want to help my fourth brother?

The Fifth Madam was furious when she heard that, she didn't believe that he was trying to help Xu Lingyi: The Marquis still wants you to come forward.

Xu Lingkuan could not say that he was worried about the snobbery of Shuntian Prefecture Yin, so he did not take Xu Lingyi's words to heart, and said nonsense: If something like this happens, there will naturally be strength in numbers. The government is also afraid when they see it.

The fifth lady was speechless.

When had the government ever been afraid of crowds?

He wants to help Eleven Niang stand out, right?

She listened to her husband's nonsense, pulled the quilt, turned over and fell asleep with her back to Xu Lingkuan.

At this moment, Eleven Niang was helping Xu Lingyi hot her feet.

Apart from removing him from the post of Grand Governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, what else did the Emperor say?

She was a little worried.

Xu Lingyi was leaning on the recliner with his eyes closed, his expression a little grim.

said

But there is no following.

Eleven Niang hesitated for a moment, wiped her hands with the handkerchief stacked on the small teacup beside her, sat on the golden teacup next to the recliner, and asked him in a low voice: What did he say?

The warm breath comes to my face with the faint fragrance of roses.

He opened his eyes.

I saw a pair of eyes as bright as morning stars.

He smiled faintly: The emperor announced that Wang Jiubao would come to Beijing.

The emperor asked Wang Jiubao to come to Beijing.

The Wang family and the Ou family are world enemies again

Eleven Niang mused: In this way, the emperor is on our side.

Xu Lingyi nodded, with a faint smile in his eyes: Although Mr. Liang Ge and others objected, Mr. Chen Ge remained silent. Therefore, the emperor decided to send King Jiubao to Beijing to talk about the lifting of the sea ban.

Chen Ge always assists, and if he remains silent, he is 60% sure of the matter.

Eleven Niang didn’t expect Mr. Liang Ge to object: Didn’t Mr. Liang Ge come to see you during the Chinese New Year?

Xu Lingyi laughed at himself: He just came to check my reputation at that time. Firstly, I didn't want to get involved. Secondly, I thought that Huang Yu had bypassed him and sent Wang Jiubao's letter to me, and I was on guard.

Xin Xin played Tai Chi with him for a long time, but he didn’t express his opinion whether he supported or disapproved of the sea ban.

It seems that the ministers of the DPRK and China each have their own ideas on whether to impose a sea ban, and the matter is quite complicated.

Compared with this matter, she was more worried about the actions of the Ou family: since the emperor invited Wang Jiubao to come to Beijing, the Ou family should also take action.
