Chapter 39: Big Sister Hits the Wall
When the eldest sister heard that she had died in battle, she was so sad that she had a miscarriage.
The eldest sister asked her youngest son Gong Jin to go to Beiling to break the basin for her and escort her coffin all the way back to Beijing.
The eldest sister was grateful to Shi Yu for collecting her body and avenging her, and she often visited him privately.
The eldest sister asked Gong Jin to smash the pot for her. The old lady of the Gong family found out and made her kneel in the ancestral hall for three days. She never forgave the eldest sister until her death...
After hearing this from Shi Yu, Wei Qingyan sat quietly in the night for a long time.
After returning from death, I suddenly felt that many people seemed unfamiliar.
She was so unfamiliar with them that she seemed to have never known them.
Shi Yu is, mother is, the late emperor is, and eldest sister is also...
Wei Qingyan felt panic-stricken and at a loss. She was not afraid of others treating her badly. What she was afraid of was that what she thought was bad was actually good that she could not repay.
There is no clue at all about how good the elder sister is.
Therefore, after her rebirth, she didn't visit her or ask about her affairs. They were like strangers in the past.
However, because the eldest sister had lost a child, she even pretended to be her youngest son as her "filial son". When she heard that there was a conspiracy behind her death, she immediately went to Du Xueyi to confirm it.
When she saw her elder sister fall ill, she only felt a little sympathy, but was more curious about why they were so resentful.
Shi Yu grew up with her, so how could he not understand her feelings at this moment, but she was Chang Qingnian, who had nothing to do with Wei Shiran.
No comfort needed.
"Miss Chang, is Sister Shi Ran's headache related to the ghost?" Shi Yu changed the subject. "Miss, do you have any solution?"
He remembered that when the secret guard relayed the story about Fang, he had mentioned the word "ghost grudge".
Wei Qingyan lowered his eyes and calmed down, then said calmly, "I was just thinking about this, but I still have no idea. I'll go over and take a look."
"Can I go with the young lady? I really hope she can get better soon." Shi Yu lowered his eyes and looked at her with a calm expression.
Wei Qingyan expected this and nodded, "So, Your Highness treats Madam Gong well because Madam Gong treats Wei Qingyan well, so Your Highness also treats Madam Gong well?"
Shi Yu nodded.
That's true.
At least it was because Wei Shiran was good to Xiao Yan that they had contact, and compared to Mrs. Wei, her biological mother, Wei Shiran, her half-sister, obviously did more.
Is it worth it?
Wei Qingyan secretly asked himself, am I worth your efforts?
Shi Yu seemed to have heard her thoughts and added, "Xiao Yan is worth it."
Wei Qingyan didn't know if he was having an illusion, but he saw a fleeting hint of affection in Shi Yu's eyes.
A strange feeling passed through her heart, her eyes flashed slightly, she stepped hard, jumped onto the wall and headed towards Gong Mansion.
The Gong Mansion was shrouded in black air.
The dark air is the thickest in the backyard.
Wei Qingyan entered the courtyard with the strongest resentment. Just as he was about to see whose courtyard it was, he heard Shi Yu's whisper, "This is Madam Gong's courtyard."
Knowing that she didn't understand the affairs of the Gong family, Shi Yu continued to explain, "Old Madam Gong passed away two years ago. Now this courtyard should only be guarded by servants."
He even knew the layout of the backyard of Gong Mansion. It seems that he is indeed close to the eldest sister.
Wei Qingyan didn't think much about it and asked in a low voice, "Apart from Madam Gong and the young master, is there anything unusual with other members of the Gong family?"
This resentment has been generated for a long time, and the image of obsession before death has become blurred. In addition, the merits are imprinted in Shi Yu's body. Wei Qingyan can only sense that it is Gong Mingcheng's father who has resentment after his death.
But I can't see why this resentment comes from.
Shi Yu breathed a sigh of relief. When he heard the secret guard say that the Gong couple had gone to the Anyuan Marquis Mansion, he guessed that she might come here in the evening, so he came here in advance to scout the way.
Seeing Wei Qingyan looking sideways at him, he pondered and said, "Thinking carefully, the Gong family has indeed not been doing well in recent years..."
Wei Qingyan combined Shi Yu's words and quickly sorted out the situation of the Gong family in his mind.
Compared with other families, the Gong family is relatively simple.
Gong Mingcheng's father, Gong Changying, once served as the Minister of Dali Temple. He had only one wife and two sons.
Gong Changying passed away three years ago, and a year later, Mrs. Gong also passed away due to illness.
Gong Mingcheng was the eldest son of the couple. He had only one wife, the eldest sister, and no concubines. He had two sons and one daughter.
The eldest son, Gong Jun, is married and currently has only one son. The child, who used to be a strong and energetic boy, is now very fragile.
The eldest daughter's marriage was once in trouble, and she later found a man from a low-class family and married him out of Beijing.
After the youngest son Gong Jin fell into the water, he became ill and was bedridden.
Gong Mingcheng's younger brother, who was more than ten years younger than him, had a wife and three concubines. He originally had one son, but three months after Gong Changying's death, he broke his neck while riding a horse. Now he has only three daughters.
After thinking it over, Wei Qingyan's heart sank.
The family is in turmoil and the children are uneasy, and the resentment is quite strong.
At the same time, I also understood why Mrs. Gong was angry with her eldest sister. Originally, there were only two grandsons left, and among the remaining two, one had to act as her, Wei Qingyan's, filial son.
Old people are superstitious and most of them would think it is unlucky, especially since the Gong family has always been in turmoil.
But she could probably understand her elder sister's thoughts.
According to folk sayings, if there is no filial son to smash the pot and support the coffin, the family will be extinct and the deceased will have difficulty resting in peace after death.
The eldest sister couldn't bear to see her off without anyone to see her off, and she couldn't rest in peace after her death.
Thinking of his elder sister, Wei Qingyan recalled the headache she had during the day, and wondered if she was feeling better now.
Then, he asked, "Where is Madam Gong's yard?"
As a man, she had come to the Gong Mansion with her father before, but had never entered the backyard.
Shi Yugang had also been to Wei Shiran's yard and led her there familiarly.
Before they arrived, they saw from afar a commotion in the yard.
A panicked voice came, "Quick, go get a doctor, the lady is in so much pain that she's banging her head against the wall..."
Wei Qingyan's pupils shrank slightly, and he reached out to grab Shi Yu's sleeve, "Find a reason and take me to see her, now."
Shi Yu pondered for a few breaths and came up with an idea. He pulled her with his backhand and said, "Follow me."
Wei Shiran fell ill today at Anyuan Marquis Mansion. Gong Mingcheng is by her side and will certainly accompany her. Gong Jun should also be there to show his filial piety.
However, the youngest son Gong Jin was frail himself, and the Gong family would not tell him about Wei Shiran's illness unless absolutely necessary.
Sure enough, when the two appeared in Gong Jin's room, he was leaning against the head of the bed, flipping through a book boredly.
When he saw the two people coming, he was startled at first and subconsciously wanted to call for help, but Shi Yu covered his mouth.
Shi Yu took off his veil. Gong Jin saw his face clearly, exhaled, and laughed, "Prince, why are you here?"
Without waiting for Shi Yu to reply, he continued, "You were wearing night clothes and came here secretly. Are you feeling better?"
There is joy and envy in his eyes.
Shi Yu nodded, "This is a secret, don't tell anyone else for now."
Gong Jin's eyes turned, as if he understood something. He nodded hurriedly, his thick eyebrows curved, "I'm not saying anything else. So, Your Highness, are you here tonight to see me?"
He went to Beiling to bring his uncle's body back to Beijing. Prince Rong treated him with great care and the two became acquainted with each other.
Shi Yu didn't know what was going on with Wei Shiran. He didn't dare to delay and said bluntly, "Your mother is ill. I brought people to see her, but it's not convenient for us to go there rashly..."
"I'll take you there." Hearing his mother was ill again, Gong Jin quickly threw off the quilt and stood up. "I have a hood in my room. You are the doctors I invited."
