Chapter 175 The Unliftable Coffin
Qin's father was a live-in son-in-law of the Qin family.
His surname is Chen and his given name is Changshan.
When Shen Changshan was seriously ill, he kept repeating the saying "fallen leaves return to their roots". His three sons were filial and did not bury their father in the Qin family's ancestral tomb after his death.
Instead, he followed his father's wishes and sent him back to his father's ancestral home, Furong County, which was three days' walk from the capital.
However, they didn't expect that something bad would happen not long after the coffin left the capital.
Originally, several tall and strong men were carrying the coffin easily, but suddenly the coffin became extremely heavy.
Several men were bent over by the weight, and Qin's filial sons and grandsons and servants rushed forward to help, and finally the coffin fell heavily to the ground.
It also broke the leg of a man carrying a coffin, and blood was seen.
If the coffin falls to the ground and blood is seen, it is considered unlucky.
Some people suggested asking monks or Taoist priests to take a look to see if there was any evil spirit.
Qin's eldest brother, Qin Sixian, was the chief academic officer of the Imperial College. He did not believe this statement and found a dozen skilled bodyguards to carry the coffin.
The coffin had taken root and sprouted, and no matter how hard the escorts tried, it didn't move at all.
Even though Qin Sixian believed that Zigong did not talk about supernatural things, he had to go to the temple.
Finally, eighteen monks carried the coffin back to Furong County while chanting scriptures all the way.
But problems arose during the burial.
When the monks were carrying the coffin into the pit, the rope suddenly broke and the coffin stood upright in the pit.
At this time, the monks recited the scriptures for salvation, and the coffin could not be shaken.
The Qin family panicked and had to invite a Taoist priest to perform a ritual.
Still no avail.
It was getting dark, and after days of traveling, we couldn't just spend the night in the mountains.
Qin Sixian asked the rest of the people to go down the mountain and rest first. He took a few servants to keep watch in the mountains and think of a solution the next day.
The third master of the Qin family felt sorry for his eldest brother's hard work, so he pushed Qin Sixian down the mountain and stayed behind to keep watch.
However, when he was relieving himself in the middle of the night, he fell and a sharp stone pierced his solar plexus, killing him instantly.
When the news reached the capital, Madam Qin fainted immediately.
Her husband had just passed away, and her youngest son had an accident. The blow was too great. Mrs. Qin had a high fever and did not wake up for two days.
In the early stages of Qin's pregnancy, she experienced the loss of her father, and due to the grief, the fetus was somewhat unstable.
When sending Shen Changshan back to Furong County, the three Qin brothers felt sorry for Qin, so they asked Gong Minglou to stay and take care of her, and did not let his son-in-law go with the coffin back to his hometown.
Therefore, Gong Minglou and his wife only found out about those things after Old Madam Qin fell ill.
Qin thought of her father-in-law's resentment and went to Anyuan Marquis' Mansion.
Hearing that Wei Qingyan was not there, he went to Dajue Temple again.
Her father-in-law's resentment caused her to lose her son. Now her brother is dead and her mother is ill. Qin is really scared.
When he saw Wei Qingyan, he felt like he had seen a savior. His knees went weak and he was about to kneel down, but Wei Qingyan supported him.
Wei Qingyan glanced at her belly, which hadn't shown any signs of pregnancy yet. "The Second Madam is pregnant. If there's anything, just send someone to let me know."
Qin can't be a bad person since she is liked by the eldest sister. She loves her family as well.
Qin's face was filled with tears. She pointed to the woman who was following her and said, "Thank you, young lady. This is my eldest sister-in-law from my mother's family. She is now in charge of the affairs of the mansion."
When Miss Chang helped her father-in-law to resolve the grievances, it was conditional.
But now she is a married woman, and no matter how worried she is about her parents' home, she has no say in their affairs.
Her two brothers were still in Furong County and her mother was in a coma, so she had no choice but to tell her eldest sister-in-law about the Gong family's resentment.
Fortunately, the eldest sister-in-law believed her and followed her to ask for help.
Since the eldest lady of the Qin family believed her sister-in-law's words, she would not question Wei Qingyan just because she was a young girl.
After she bowed to Wei Qingyan, she pleaded, "Please, young lady, save my Qin family. Please tell me what conditions you need."
Wei Qingyan couldn't think of what she needed the Qin family to do yet, but when the Qin family members showed up, she had a vague feeling that she should take on this resentment.
"Let's see what Shen Changshan's resentment is."
Qin's aunt and sister-in-law understood that this was a promise, and they hurriedly expressed their gratitude.
Wei Qingyan glanced at the eldest sister-in-law of the Qin family, who had a faint black aura between her eyebrows. She took out a paper talisman from her bosom and said, "Carry it with you."
If the grudge is not resolved in time, the next person to be hurt by the resentment will be Madam Qin.
Although Madam Qin was unaware that resentment was already evident between her brows, she guessed that the talisman paper was meant to ensure safety.
Seeing that Wei Qingyan had no intention of giving the talisman paper to Qin, he paused and put the talisman paper in Qin's hand.
After wiping away her tears, she explained to Wei Qingyan, "My sister is pregnant and hasn't been feeling well lately."
Gong Minglou understood Wei Qingyan's meaning and returned the talisman paper to Madam Qin, "This is from Miss Chang, please keep it.
The father-in-law was resentful, and the resentment spread to the descendants of the Qin family. Zhu'er is now a wife of the Gong family."
Madam Qin turned pale immediately and put the paper talisman away.
When something happens, think of your sister-in-law first.
Wei Qingyan had some feelings for Madam Qin and said, "Let's go back to the city."
There is a high staircase in Dajue Temple.
When he came, Gong Minglou was worried about his wife's health, so he carried her on his back. At that time, several people were anxious to find Wei Qingyan, so Gong Minglou took the initiative.
When he goes back now, his legs are still a little weak.
Seeing this, Wei Qingyan held Qin with his left hand and Madam Qin with his right hand, and used light skills to lead the two of them down the mountain first.
At the foot of the hill was their carriage.
Next to the carriage were Shi Yu and Jingzhe sitting upright on horseback.
When Wei Qingyan saw the other horse Jingzhe was holding, he understood.
Shi Yu must have known that Qin and others came to Dajue Temple to look for her, and guessed that she was going to Furong County, so he prepared a horse for her and accompanied her there.
It had only been a few days since Shen Changshan passed away, and the resentment was so great that one person in the Qin family had died and one was sick. Wei Qingyan did not dare to delay, so he asked Madam Qin to arrange for an insider to lead them and tell them the details of what happened on the way.
The eldest lady of the Qin family also thought so. When she came to Dajue Temple, she brought the person who brought the news with her.
Qin was worried that her elder brother would not believe her if she only sent a servant to take Wei Qingyan there, so she asked Wei Qingyan to wait for a moment.
Wait until Gong Minglou comes down the mountain and let him follow you.
Shi Yuben also had this idea.
The men of the Qin family have a typical teacher's temperament and may not be willing to believe in the idea of resolving the grudge. He does not want the Qin family to think that it was his Xiao Yan who came forward to help.
After glancing at Gong Minglou who was still halfway up the mountain, he winked at Jingzhe.
Jingzhe understood and jumped towards the mountain.
Soon Gong Minglou was brought down the mountain, and everyone rode their horses towards Furong County.
When they arrived, it was already midnight.
Go directly to the mountain.
The coffin still stood in the pit.
There was a temporary thatched hut next to it, with candles lit inside.
The movements of the few people alarmed the people in the straw hut.
Gong Minglou had never ridden a horse so fast before, and his buttocks were nearly broken into pieces. After he got off the horse, his legs were shaking as he walked. As he was being supported by his servants and walking towards the straw hut, he saw a man rushing towards him.
