Chapter 77 The Marquis' Mansion is Over
Two men in black escorted Yan Qinghao all the way, sneaking along the dark alleys towards the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion.
The night was quiet. Because of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, most of the troops were guarding the palace, and there were fewer people patrolling outside.
This made it easier for them to escape.
The death squads arranged by Princess Su to rescue people all sneaked into the imperial city and came to rescue people immediately without even having time to rest.
There is absolutely no time to prepare support personnel outside.
So we can only play it by ear.
Although there are spies from the Northern Frontier in the Imperial City, these people are hiding very deeply. In addition, Qing An was arrested not long ago, implicating a group of people. Now it is too late to contact other people.
The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is getting closer and closer.
There was clearly some light at the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, and even in the darkness, one could clearly see the surrounding scenery.
Yan Qinghao had not been home for a long time and missed home a little. He hurriedly urged the man in black to leave quickly and saw the plaque of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion from a distance.
Then he saw the white flowers hanging on the plaque.
That's... something people would hang up when someone dies in the family.
"What's going on? Why is the Dingyuan Marquis' Mansion hanging a white banner?"
Yan Qinghao was a little dazed for a moment.
The man in black stopped, took a look around the mansion, chose a relatively low wall, and climbed up with Yan Qinghao.
The other man in black was exploring the way ahead. Both of them were seriously injured. If they hadn't run fast, they would have died in the Governor's Mansion today.
Even if the Governor's Office withdrew more than half of its personnel, it would still be difficult for them to break in smoothly.
Yan Qinghao and two men in black hid in the dark under the eaves of the marquis' mansion. After walking through two long corridors, he heard bursts of crying.
"Old lady... wuwuwu, why did you leave..."
The sound was from some servants in the Marquis' Mansion crying.
When Yan Qinghao heard the three words "old lady", his expression suddenly changed.
He lowered his voice and said, "Send me to the front hall!"
"Sir, absolutely not. It's best not to expose yourself to the public..."
Yan Qinghao gritted his teeth and said, "I have to see what happened. Go secretly find my second brother and third sister and ask them what happened?"
The man in black took the order and sneaked into the front hall to look for Yan Qingming and Yan Qingjiao.
Not long after, the man in black returned.
"My Lord, the two people you are looking for are in the mourning hall. I have just greeted them and asked them to send their servants away."
Yan Qinghao breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
The subordinates that Su'er found for him were quite reliable.
"Carry me in."
"yes!"
Soon, Yan Qinghao, escorted by men in black, entered the candlelit mourning hall.
A coffin was placed in the middle of the mourning hall, with three incense sticks burning in front of it. The eternal lamps on both sides swayed slightly in the wind, making the entire mourning hall look eerie.
Yan Qingming and Yan Qingjiao, both dressed in mourning clothes, were kneeling in the mourning hall. Yan Qingjiao's eyes were swollen like walnuts.
When she saw her elder brother being carried in from outside, her eyes widened and she couldn't control her emotions and burst into tears.
"Brother, why did you come back just now? Mother passed away, wuwuwu..."
Yan Qinghao didn't look at Yan Qingjiao, but glanced at the coffin.
Old Madam Yan was lying quietly inside, which made Yan Qinghao's face change drastically.
"mother!"
He was a little bit unbelievable. He had been away for less than a year, but he didn't even see Madam Yan for the last time!
Yan Qingming, who was kneeling next to him, looked pale and coughed from time to time with his hands covering his mouth. He looked like he was about to die at any time.
Yan Qinghao looked around, anger showing in his eyes.
"How did you take care of my mother? What on earth happened in the mansion during the year I was away?"
He just felt his whole head buzzing, and at this moment the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.
The man in black put him on a chair beside him, and Yan Qinghao's hands were shaking with anger.
Yan Qingjiao sobbed, "It's all because of that bitch you married. It's all because of her that Mother became like this. When Mother passed away, she took the divorce letter you gave her and left the Marquisate directly, without even observing mourning... She even took our Yan family's child away and said she wanted to sever ties with you. Why did you agree to her?"
Yan Qingjiao knew in her heart that she must not let her elder brother know that her mother's death was also somewhat related to her.
If she hadn't been so angry with Old Madam Yan that she was clamoring to elope with someone, Old Madam Yan's condition wouldn't have gotten worse.
Anyway, it’s right to put all the blame on Qin Mingzhu.
"She even killed my second sister-in-law, saying she had an affair with you, my eldest brother..."
Yan Qinghao's expression froze: "What?"
When Yan Qingming, who was kneeling beside him, heard this, his originally indifferent expression finally changed.
He slowly raised his head and looked at his elder brother with cold eyes, showing no joy at all for his elder brother's return.
"Brother, does my wife taste so good?"
Yan Qinghao's tone choked, and he immediately said with a serious face: "Don't listen to people's nonsense about this kind of thing."
Yan Qingjiao said, "Qin Mingzhu found your second sister-in-law's bellyband in your room, along with a lot of love poems. She said they were secretly given to you by your second sister-in-law..."
Yan Qinghao's face turned blue and red.
He had never expected that someone would notice this...
However, he was not too cautious about these things before. After all, in his heart, Lin Hongrong was not a good woman. She took the initiative to seduce him and climb into his bed, but he got tired of her after sleeping with her once.
He said to Yan Qingming seriously, "Second brother, how could I possibly lay hands on your wife? She is my sister-in-law after all. Someone must have deliberately framed her. Moreover, we brothers can have as many women as Lin Hongrong as we want. It is not worth it to ruin our brotherly friendship because of a woman."
Yan Qinghao flatly denied it.
Yan Qingming just stared at him for a while, and finally said nothing and looked away silently.
Seeing him become so sick and decadent, Yan Qinghao frowned, feeling that there was something wrong with his second brother.
"Second brother, what's wrong with you?"
Yan Qingjiao spoke, moving a little further away from her second brother with disdain, "What else can I do? Going to brothels to look for women every day, contracting a dirty disease..."
Yan Qinghao was obviously stunned.
If you get this disease, it means chronic death and your life span will definitely not be long. No wonder my second brother has this attitude.
He looked around and suddenly felt that the current Marquis' Mansion was very unfamiliar.
His mother died, Lin Hongrong also died, his second brother was half-dead from a disease, his wife ran away, and his newborn child was taken away...
Yan Qinghao's eyes suddenly became blank and his heart turned cold...
Deep down in his heart, he now had only one thought.
The Marquis’ Mansion is finished!
