Chapter 173: Feeling Proud
Chu Yici smiled and waved his hands, saying modestly: "This is a good omen for the Marquis' Mansion. My eighth brother and I are also blessed by you. I must tell my father about this so that he can be happy too."
Chu Jinyan found the legitimate son for the He family, and today a white crane descended on the He family. Could it be that the He family is really a blessed place?
So if he marries a girl from the He family, would this blessing also fall on him?
He Yu is likely to support the eighth brother because of He Zhiyi's relationship, so he will choose He Xiong's daughter.
After all, the place where the white crane landed was exactly the house where He Xiong lived.
The more Chu Yici thought about it, the more feasible it seemed to him, and even his blood began to boil.
"The sudden arrival of these two white cranes in the capital is a blessing for the Great Wei and His Majesty. I think they should be sent to the palace and presented to the Emperor." He Yu suddenly spoke.
He Xiong did not object, but his eyes were full of provocation when he looked at He Yu.
No matter what, the white crane landed in the courtyard where he lived, and the most fortunate people were still their second branch.
Old Madam He, who was standing in the crowd, was shaking uncontrollably with excitement. Her son had been suppressed by the first wife for so many years, was he finally going to rise today?
Because of this blessing, her daughter will most likely be favored by the two princes. No matter which imperial concubine she becomes, she will become a phoenix and live a glorious life.
In just a moment, Madam He's mind was already in turmoil, thinking that her son would rise to a high position in the future and surpass He Yu.
Lu Xiang looked at the leisurely white crane not far away, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously looked at Chu Jinyan, and saw that his thin lips were curled up with a hint of cold sneer, which was not at all like the shock and astonishment of everyone else.
Even if you weren't shocked by the white crane, you shouldn't have been mocking it, right?
Lu Xiang pondered secretly in his heart, and always felt that the arrival of the white crane was too coincidental and it seemed strange.
She doesn't believe in any blessed land!
Even if it is a blessed land, it is impossible for the second house to be mediocre and incompetent. After all, the general who will intimidate one side in the future is He Zhiyi.
Chu Yici nodded: "My Lord, what you said makes sense..."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly saw the white crane move, flapping its wings and flying towards a certain place.
Everyone was shocked.
Chu Yici subconsciously followed quietly, and the people behind him followed closely.
"Everyone, be gentler." He lowered his footsteps and whispered.
The two white cranes walked and stopped, and soon stopped at the gate of a yard. Everyone's attention was attracted by the white cranes and they didn't go anywhere until He Zhimiao exclaimed.
"This is your yard, Miao'er." He Xiong said in surprise, with uncontrollable surprise on his face.
This auspicious bird landed at the gate of his daughter's yard. Isn't this announcing to the world that his daughter is a lucky person?
God has eyes, God has eyes.
He Xiong was so excited that he didn't know what to do.
He Zhimiao also showed an expression of unbelievable ecstasy.
The guests looked at He Zhimiao with different eyes again.
For a moment, all kinds of envious and admiring eyes were cast on He Zhimiao, and the second wife was so proud that she could hardly tell east from west.
He Zhimiao had no doubt that she was the blessed person. Otherwise, why would the white crane, regarded as auspicious by the people of Wei, land right in the courtyard of their second house and find her courtyard accurately? It was obvious that it was attracted by her good fortune.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look towards Chu Jinyan.
When the Eighth Prince saw how blessed she was, did he also become obsessed with her?
Madam Anhou and He Zhimin's faces were as black as charcoal, and they were so angry that smoke was coming out of their heads.
What blessed person? It seems like this is just a show put on by the second wife for outsiders to see.
What a miscalculation! Why didn't she think of adding such a layer of gold to her daughter?
If the people from the second house could catch a white crane and put it in their own yard, then her master would naturally be even better.
Chu Yici looked at He Zhimiao in astonishment, and then turned to be gentle, with a determined light flashing in his deep eyes.
With such great blessings from heaven, my father will definitely treat He Xiong differently. I have to seize the opportunity to marry He Zhimiao before Chu Jinyan.
Just when everyone was shocked, stunned, or surprised, the lively and fluttering white crane suddenly screamed, and the next moment it fell to the ground, its body twitched, and then it stopped moving.
This scene happened so suddenly that everyone was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time.
"What's going on?" Chu Jinyan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly shouted coldly.
Lu Xiang glanced at Chu Jinyan quickly, then lowered his eyes, his eyelids twitching suddenly, feeling that Chu Jinyan was going to cause trouble.
He Yu stepped forward and gently moved Bai He's body: "Your Highnesses, Bai He is dead."
"What?" He Xiong exclaimed in disbelief. He hurried to Bai He's side, squatted down to verify it himself, then sat down on the ground with all the blood drained from his face.
how so?
The smile on Chu Yici's face disappeared all of a sudden. His deep black eyes stared at Bai He who suddenly died in front of him, and he felt depressed.
It was all in vain.
Seeing this, the wife of Marquis Wu'an tried hard not to laugh out loud, and exclaimed in fear of chaos in the world: "Wasn't he fine before? How come he died inexplicably as soon as he arrived at the fourth young lady's courtyard? Could this be a bad omen?"
After she finished speaking, as if she realized what she had said, she covered her mouth in panic and apologized to Chu Yici and Chu Jinyan: "I spoke out of turn, I hope your highnesses will forgive me, it's really..."
After she said this, she looked meaningfully at the dead white crane on the ground.
Even though she didn't finish, everyone understood what she meant.
That’s right. They had been following these two white cranes all the way. Everything was fine, but how could they suddenly die as soon as they got here?
The white crane is a symbol of good fortune. Its sudden death is definitely unlucky.
Because of the "slip of the tongue" of the wife of Marquis Wu'an, everyone looked at He Zhimiao in a strange way again. What kind of person is blessed with great fortune? From this point of view, it is clearly a sign that he is an ominous person.
He Zhiyi glanced at his own mother with a gleam in his eyes, and secretly looked at Chu Jinyan. Chu Jinyan shook her head at him imperceptibly.
Although things did not go as he expected, Wu'an Houfu's words did not conflict with his purpose.
Madam He Er was startled, and like a cat whose tail was stepped on, she pointed at Madam Wu'an and shouted, "Sister-in-law, you are talking nonsense. Are you trying to wrongly accuse my Miao'er with empty words?"
Madam Wu'an felt very proud. She held her head high like a proud hen and said to Madam He Er with a smile, "Why are you so excited, my second sister-in-law? I was just speaking the truth. Everyone saw that Bai He was fine before, but he died when he arrived at Miao'er's yard. How do you explain this?"
"That's not the case." He Zhimiao screamed, her beautiful face was in a state of panic. She stared at Madam Wu'an, wishing she could kill her with her eyes: "It has nothing to do with me."
