Yongchang Hou's Mansion, full of mansions.
In the mourning hall, there were loud cries, and there were two coffins, one large and one small, which was particularly frightening.
Feng Liao and Prince Ying Fengshi were wearing plain clothes, and when they escorted Princess Xing'an who was also in plain clothes, all the filial sons, filial women, and filial grandchildren in the room turned around and bowed down to them.
"See Prince Ying!" "See Prince Heng!"
With the identity of the royal family there, Feng Shi and Feng Liao didn't need to say a word, and the Yang family naturally bowed their heads.
Feng Shi sighed and said: "The dead are respected. You don't need to be too polite."
The husband-in-law of Princess Xing'an, the son-in-law of the Marquis of Yongchang, Yang Jingyue stood up from all the filial sons and grandsons, and said to Princess Xing'an, "You should go and change your clothes."
When he said this, his expression was unusually peaceful, as if a husband was telling his wife something under normal circumstances, as if Princess Xing'an had never used the strategy of stealing the beam and replacing the pillar with Li replacing the peach, as if Mrs. Yang's death had nothing to do with Princess Xing'an Not related.
Princess Xing'an was overjoyed to see him so amiable, and quickly said: "Okay! Okay! I'm going to change my clothes now."
She had just returned from Prince Ying's mansion, she was only wearing plain clothes, and did not change into the mourning clothes of the mourning family.
Princess Xing'an took Aunt Xiao and others down to change clothes.
Feng Shi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Yang Jingyue with a pleasant face: "We are very worried about the death of Mrs. Tai and the seventh son. Maybe my brother-in-law will take us to the funeral to burn incense sticks for the deceased?"
Yang Jingyue was still very calm, and bowed to invite him.
Feng Liao frowned and followed Feng Shi, feeling that everything was so peaceful and smooth! Instead, he felt a strong fear in his heart.
He followed Feng Shi to the coffin to offer incense and offer sacrifices, and after delivering the libation ceremony, he was invited to serve tea in the front hall.
In the front hall, some close relatives and friends of the Yang family were already seated. Seeing Feng Shi and Feng Liao, they all came up to pay respects and flattery.
Feng Shi socialized with the relatives and friends of the Yang family in an unusually easy-going and humble way, Feng Liao followed up with the entertainment, feeling very bored, and thinking about Princess Xing'an, said: "Second brother, I'm going out for a walk."
Feng Shi nodded, and said: "Ask the guard Haosheng to follow you."
Feng Liao nodded, turned her head out of the front hall, and walked towards the mourning hall.
Su Mingjian and other guards quickly followed.
Feng Liao was walking, thinking about his brother-in-law Yang Jingyue's reaction today: Brother-in-law's behavior just now was too calm! Something is wrong. Something is wrong!
What exactly is Yang Jingyue going to do? No matter how bad my sister is, she is still a golden branch and a jade leaf. If Yang Jingyue didn't want to bring the Yang family into trouble, he wouldn't dare to do anything to his sister, right? Thinking about what my sister did, and the complicated cause and effect between him and Ruoruo, I feel even more irritated.
Before I knew it, I walked to the main hall of the Yang family where the mourning hall was located.
Feng Liao didn't approach, but just quietly stood under the verandah next to the gate of the courtyard, searching for the shadow of Princess Xing'an among the crowd of filial piety from a distance.
Not long after, he saw Princess Xing'an changed into mourning attire and came out of the inner room.
The princess of Xing'an County seemed to be going to kneel in the group of female relatives, but Yang Jingyue beckoned to the door of the mourning hall, followed by Aunt Xiao, and was called over, as if Yang Jingyue had something to order.
Then Feng Liao saw that Yang Jingyue smiled strangely at Princess Xing'an and Aunt Xiao, put his right hand into the sleeve of his left hand, quickly pulled out a dagger, took a step forward calmly, and plunged the dagger straight into the mouth. Aunt Xiao's chest.
When the dagger was pierced into her chest, Aunt Xiao trembled all over, and let out two dull "ho ho" sounds from her throat, her eyes widened.
She looked at Yang Jingyue in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe that Yang Jingyue had done such a thing to her!
Yang Jingyue turned his wrist calmly and indifferently, and stirred Aunt Xiao's body with the dagger.
Aunt Xiao groaned and completely lost consciousness. Her lost eyes were still staring at Yang Jingyue.
Yang Jingyue kicked Aunt Xiao away, and drew out the dagger.
Aunt Xiao fell at the door of the mourning hall, and large streams of blood gushed out from the wound on her chest, quickly soaking through the filial piety clothes on her body.
Princess Xing'an finally came to her senses and screamed loudly.
Feng Liao yelled: "Take him down!" He jumped off the porch and rushed towards Yang Jingyue. Su Mingjian, who was closely following him, grabbed him and hurriedly said: "My lord, don't go there! I'll get him!" He drew his sword and rushed towards Yang Jingyue.
The sound of the arrow piercing through the air sounded, and a sharp arrow shot straight at Yang Jingyue.
Yang Jingyue dodged swiftly, dodged the arrow, then turned around and pulled Princess Xing'an into his arms. He wrapped his left hand around Princess Xing'an's neck, and the dagger on his right hand, which was still dripping blood, pressed against Princess Xing'an's back heart.
"Don't come here!" Yang Jingyue leaned his back against the wall, holding Princess Xing'an hostage.
Looking across the crowd in the yard, he saw Su Mingjian and Feng Liao.
"Master Su, please stand where you are!" He smiled at Su Mingjian, "Otherwise, if I get scared, this dagger will be pierced into the princess' back."
Su Mingjian had no choice but to stop.
Feng Liao's guard Jiang Baogong at the gate of the courtyard drew his bow and set an arrow, but he couldn't shoot another arrow.
If Yang Jingyue's hand holding the dagger was exposed, he could still shoot his hand, but now that Yang Jingyue's hand holding the dagger is hidden behind Princess Xing'an, he can't act rashly.
"Yang Jingyue, what do you want to do?" Feng Liao raised her heart and shouted angrily in a trembling voice.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Guizi beside him ran to the front hall to invite Feng Shi.
All the female family members of the Yang family in the mourning hall came back to their senses, screamed and hid, and dragged away Yang Jingyue's mother, Mrs. Yongchanghou.
The grey-haired Marquis Yongchang still stayed in the mourning hall with a few men, and shouted at Yang Jingyue angrily: "You rebellious son, do you want to implicate the entire Yang family?"
"Father, King Heng, don't worry!" Yang Jingyue said with a sarcasm, "The princess is a golden branch and a jade leaf, I will not and dare not do anything to her. I have already killed that lowly maid who was a slave to a tiger and bullied others, and I let out a little bit of anger." Next, I just want to have a good talk with everyone."
Feng Liao finally let go of her hanging heart, and asked angrily, "What do you want to say?"
Yang Jingyue didn't answer him, but asked the housekeeper of the Yang family on the side: "Where is that bitch who falsified her birthday and cheated her into marriage? Why didn't she kowtow before her grandmother and seventh younger brother to plead guilty?"
The housekeeper of the Yang family glanced at Marquis Yongchang, Marquis Yongchang hesitated for a moment, then nodded. The butler took the people and left quickly.
"Yang Jingyue, you madman, how dare you hold the princess hostage? You are dying!" Feng Shi, who hurried over, was furious when he saw the situation in front of the mourning hall.
Feng Liao hurried to his side and whispered: "Second brother, calm down. Yang Jingyue has already said that he dare not do anything to his sister, but he just has something to say. Second brother, I am afraid that the relationship between sister and brother-in-law will be difficult! What? Do it?"
Princess Xing'an was held hostage by Yang Jingyue, trembling all over, and could hardly stand up.
Tears rolled down her eyes, and she said in a broken voice, "Yue Lang...you...do you hate me so much?"
"What do you think?" Yang Jingyue said loudly in her ear, "Princess, how did I treat you when I first got married? You asked me to dismiss Tongfang, so I dismissed Tongfang. You said I was wearing purple The clothes are beautiful, even if I don’t like them myself, I will wear them for you every day. You don’t like me being served by a girl, and you are too lazy to serve me, so I will take care of personal matters and tie my hair and crown by myself. You don’t want to be with me Separate, I will follow your words, stay in the capital camp, and never go to the border... I am obedient to you, right?"
Princess Xing'an thought of the intimacy of the two when they first got married, and the confrontation between swords and soldiers today, and her heart ached so hard that she couldn't speak.
"You keep saying that you love me, but you don't pay attention to my family at all. You don't pay your respects to the elders with excuses every three days. If you don't listen to me, I can only follow you, and the elders in my family can only Hold on..." Yang Jingyue opened his eyes slightly, and said sharply, "I don't understand, since you claim to be in love with me, why don't you take care of my face a little bit, and be a little respectful to the elders in my family? It's good to save face! But you don't even bother to do it!"
What Yang Jingyue said was directly accusing the princess of Xing'an of disrespecting her parents-in-law and elders.
Feng Liao thought about her behavior, felt ashamed in her heart, and dared not say a word.
Feng Shi, an upright gentleman who always "behaved righteously", couldn't help it anymore, and shouted: "Yang Jingyue, if you want to slander the princess's reputation, first show evidence!"
"Evidence?" Yang Jingyue laughed, "The two coffins in the mourning hall are the evidence! Find a woman with the right birth date to congratulate my seventh brother. This is my grandmother's last way to save my seventh brother! But such a big event , as the daughter-in-law and sister-in-law of the princess, she is also able to commit fraudulent activities, cheating my seventh brother, and making my grandmother mad! Did she put my seventh brother's life on the line when she did such a thing? In your eyes? Have you put my grandmother's mind in your eyes?"
His words of accusation were like a knife, and his voice was crying blood, which made Feng Shi speechless for a while.
Thinking of the sad place, Yongchanghou burst into tears, and knelt down in front of Mrs. Yang Tai's coffin, weeping bitterly. All the men of the Yang family beside him couldn't help wiping away their tears.
Princess Xing'an cried: "I... I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't expect things to turn out like this!"
"I know! You didn't do it on purpose, you just got used to doing whatever you want." Yang Jingyue snorted coldly, "But after something like this happened, how can I live with you?"
The owner of Xing'an County broke out, and accused Yang Jingyue in turn: "If you don't have this incident, are you willing to live with me? How long has it been since you came to the main house?"
With tears in her eyes, she said sadly: "If you hadn't been cold to me every day, I wouldn't have lost my mind and did such things in a moment of obsession!"
Yang Jingyue looked at her side face for a while, then suddenly smiled: "So, it's my fault? Princess princess, you remember: I am a human being, not a dog under your skirt! If the princess just wants to raise A dog under the skirt is boring, why do you need to marry? You can raise ten or eight heads. They will take care of you comfortably."
Feng Shi saw that the more he talked, the worse he became, and he deeply felt that today's matter was difficult.
He said dryly: "Okay, if you want to seek justice from the cheater, you have to finish the funeral of Mrs. Tai and Yang Qidi. How is it proper to make such a mess now?"
Yang Jingyue said with some self-mockery: "I'm already an unfilial descendant, so why not take this opportunity to make a fuss?"
Feng Shi couldn't help but said: "You can make as much trouble as you want! But... my sister is a weak woman after all, she is almost unable to stand up. Why don't you let her go first, if you have anything to say, let's sit down and talk slowly .”
Yang Jingyue's gaze fell on the butler and his party who hurried back, and he said in a low voice, "It won't take too long. Princess, please persevere!"
Behind the housekeeper of Yang's house, there are several women. A slender woman of fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed as a woman, was gagged and tied up and brought over—it was Yang Qi's grandma Wu Shi who was suspected of fraudulent marriage.
Yang Jingyue looked at the panic-stricken and terrified Wu family, but his gaze was extremely peaceful: "Wu family, you are greedy for wealth, you falsified your birth date, you cheated into marriage and came to the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, you are also a talent... What do you give to Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Wu?" Qilang kowtows a few times to make amends!"
Detaining Wu's mother-in-law, he escorted Wu to kneel before the coffin. Seeing that the master didn't order, he didn't bother to untie Wu or take out the cloth from her mouth.
Wu's hands were tied behind her back, her mouth was gagged, and she made hooting noises. She looked around in horror, especially Aunt Xiao's corpse lying in a pool of blood.
Yang Jingyue didn't want to watch her dawdling at all, so he shouted sharply, "Kowtow to apologize! If you don't kowtow yourself, I'll ask someone to kowtow against you."
Wu Shi didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and began to kowtow in front of the spirit, seven or eight times in a row.
Yang Jingyue turned to Princess Xing'an and said, "Miss Princess, should you also kowtow to my grandmother and seventh brother to make amends?" After finishing speaking, she pulled Princess Xing'an to turn around and put the dagger on her Under the ribs, go to the front of the spirit.
"I kowtow, will you spare me?" Princess Xing'an said slightly sarcastically. She didn't have any desire to resist, and let him hold her hostage to the spirit.
"Of course, you are the princess. If I get angry again, what can I do to you?" Yang Jingyue said with a sarcastic smile.
The people around looked at Yang Jingyue nervously, fearing that he would not be able to restrain himself and stab the princess Xing'an himself.
Princess Xing'an knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Yang Jingyue squatted beside her and smiled softly at her: "Princess, the thing I regret the most in this life is that I didn't destroy my face earlier. Otherwise, how could I be so unfortunate that you fell in love with me! "
With a strong swipe of the dagger in his right hand, a long gash was cut in the chest of Princess Xing'an. Then he forcefully pushed Princess Xing'an away, grabbed Wu Shi who was still kneeling in front of the coffin, and stabbed, stirred, and pulled the dagger...
Blood splattered everywhere.
Wu shi twitched and fell to the ground, the light in his eyes quickly dissipated. The wives who were holding her screamed.
Both Feng Shi and Feng Liao were startled by the bloody gash on the chest of Princess Xing'an and screamed.
One of them called "Sister" and the other "Sister", and rushed towards Princess Xing'an.
After Feng Liao checked the wound of Princess Xing'an, she let go of half of her heart: "It's okay, it's okay! My sister is only injured on the flesh, not the vitals."
Princess Xing'an stared blankly at Yang Jingyue in the mourning hall, as if she couldn't feel the pain of the wound.
Jiang Baogong's arrow had no chance to shoot out after all.
Su Mingjian and other guards rushed to the mourning hall to arrest Yang Jingyue.
After Yang Jingyue killed Mrs. Wu, he threw away the dagger in his hand.
He turned around and knelt down to Marquis Yongchang, and kowtowed: "My son is unfilial. He has committed the crime of murder and insulted the Yang family. Please open the ancestral hall and remove the son from the family tree!"
The Marquis of Yongchang couldn't hold back any longer, and burst into tears: "Yue'er! My good Yue'er! Why are you doing this?! Why are you doing this?!"
Mrs. Yongchanghou, who had been standing not far away and watching the situation anxiously, also knelt down on the ground, crying bitterly.
Yang Jingyue closed his eyes slightly, tears rolled down his eyes.
He kowtowed again to Marquis Yongchang: "Father, take care!" Then he kowtowed in the direction of Mrs. Marquis Yongchang, "Mother, take care!"
In the end, he silently kowtowed three times to Mrs. Yang and Yang Qilang's spiritual tablets before turning around and standing up. There were still tears on his face, but he showed a nonchalant smile to Su Mingjian and others: "Will you send me to Shuntian Mansion, or should I surrender myself?"
The filial piety clothes on his body were splashed with the blood of Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Wu, a dazzling scarlet...
