Does my aunt know why she was murdered in the Baizhu Forest?
The fifth brother Jing Shenghua was thinking, then looked up and found that his third and fourth brothers, who were also touching their aunt, were looking at him at the same time.
Both pairs of eyes showed deep worry.
In an instant, he understood.
[Ah, but it's also your own fault. You've been wandering around the world without any caution, insisting on making friends with Wu Er'er.]
Jing Shenghua: It’s actually him!
Fifth nephew: OK, I remember it.
"Although you are the youngest disciple of the Qingfeng Sect, Master likes you. As long as you have a strong backing, you are a candidate for the position of Sect Leader."
"However, Wu Er'er wants to kill you, not because he wants to become the leader of the Qingfeng Sect. Your master is a loyal minister of the late Emperor of Mingyao Kingdom and a powerful figure behind the imperial court."
If it weren't for this, the Emperor wouldn't have allowed you to return to Kyoto to lead the Imperial Guards.
My aunt guessed right.
As soon as he returned to Kyoto, he was summoned to the palace by His Majesty.
What they were talking about was becoming the commander of the imperial guards.
So my aunt... can predict the future?
Jing Shenghua glanced at his two brothers: "Third brother, fourth brother, come out for a moment!"
The third and fourth children were called into the yard.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on the palms of his hands.
"The secret you're hiding is related to my aunt, right?"
Before Jing Shenghua could finish his words, the fourth brother covered his mouth.
"Don't shout here, let's find a place to talk quietly."
When the three of them were in the room, they mentioned that they could hear their aunt's thoughts.
"We are all brothers. This secret must not be known to outsiders, in case they attack my aunt."
The third brother, Jing Shengtian, held his chin in his hand and hesitated, "My pursuit was despised by everyone. The fourth brother was blinded and had a miserable end. The fifth brother, you almost died in the Baizhu Forest because of Wu Er'er.
These are all revealed by my aunt, and we need to take timely action."
The fourth brother, Jing Shengshi, nervously pointed at his nose and said, "I'm the worst off. I'm blind and I was beheaded. And the key is, we don't even know why."
"Fourth brother, I am the most unlucky one. After all, if mother hadn't come to pick me up, I would have been pierced by thousands of arrows in the Hundred Bamboo Forest." The fifth brother Jing Shenghua spread his hands helplessly.
Seeing the two arguing, Jing Shengtian hurriedly interrupted: "Okay, stop comparing your misery. My aunt is so young, and she's already worrying about the general's mansion. As her nephew, we naturally have to share her worries."
"What does Third Brother mean?"
"Old Five, go deal with Wu Er'er's affairs. Don't let his evil scheme succeed. Old Four, close down your poetry societies and stay in the general's mansion."
"Okay." The fourth brother looked at Jing Shengtian intently, "Third brother, what about you?"
"My aunt is right. My pursuit is despised by the people of Kyoto. I must change their attitude so as not to bring shame to our General's Mansion."
Jing Shengtian clenched his fists, his expression looking like he was taking an oath.
The fourth and fifth brothers cannot see through their older brother.
They looked at each other and couldn't help laughing, "You've thought of a way for us, but what about you?"
"Are you done? Come quickly and protect your aunt—"
Jing Shengtian, who was in front, heard his two younger brothers mumbling and shouted.
“Here I come——”
When they entered the house again, they found that their second uncle had returned and immediately hid.
In this way, I spent the night hiding and accompanying my aunt.
The next morning, the three of them prepared to report the situation to their parents.
In the side hall.
Xi Yanlan raised her hand to interrupt them: "Let's talk about it later. Go to the door to greet your second aunt first."
"Second Aunt is back?"
"I'm back." Xi Yanlan held the teacup, looked intently at her three sons, and sighed.
"Why is mother sighing?"
"Lian'er's story has spread all over Kyoto. Mother, I wonder what your Second Aunt's attitude is?" She pondered, then added, "Let's go together to greet Ying. If they're arguing, perhaps we can help."
Sister Qiaoqiao kept saying that something would happen in the general's mansion and that all his family members would die tragically.
So, they must avoid such a situation!
In front of the house.
Baili Mei got off the carriage and saw her family members inside.
Her face was solemn as she walked up the stairs and glanced at her second daughter who was standing next to her husband.
Jing Shenglian knew that he had made a big mistake and did not dare to face it.
He stood huddled behind Jing Ruchang, his heart pounding, as if he had really done something shameless.
Everyone greeted Baili Mei, except Jing Shenglian, whose face looked as white as frost.
As they passed by, she called out to Jing Shenglian, "Lian'er, come to the study with your mother."
Xi Yanlan grabbed Baili Mei and said, "Sister?"
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I understand what you mean." Baili Mei smiled lightly and walked in front.
On the way back from finishing her work, Baili Mei felt very uncomfortable listening to the gossip about her daughter in the market.
Over the years, she has been looked down upon by everyone because of her status.
So there has never been any problem since I married into the general's mansion.
And what happened to her daughter was a blow to her.
But when I thought about what my sister Qiaoqiao had said before, I realized my own problem.
Therefore, there is no false judgment.
"Lian'er, is what's being said outside true?"
Jing Shenglian stood in the hall, not knowing how to start.
Outside the door, Jing Shengzhu was holding her sister, leaning against the door, worried about her.
Jing Shenglian clenched his fingers and knelt down towards Baili Mei: "Mother, what is said in Kyoto is true. My daughter was not a virgin when she got married."
"What?" After hearing this, Baili Mei slammed her palm on the table.
