On the night of June 26, Uncle An Jing died of illness.
Early the next morning, Su Yan was taken aback when she heard the news. She hadn't heard the name Uncle An Jing mentioned for a long time. Now that she suddenly heard the news of Uncle An Jing's death, Su Yan still felt a little unreal.
Although the news of Uncle An Jing's death didn't touch Su Yan at all, but the proper etiquette still has to go, after all, ethically, the missing person is her father.
Chu Yan left early today, and Su Yan sent someone to send news to Chu Yan. After breakfast, she took out a plain suit and changed into it. It was not until before she went out that she remembered to ask, "What is Uncle An Jing?" Is it time?"
The mother-in-law who reported the funeral said: "It will be gone after the child's death."
"Okay, I see." Su Yan responded, and went out to sit on the soft sedan chair. Now that Uncle An Jing is gone, Su Yan didn't even feel a little bit in her heart, as if the person who died was someone she didn't want to do at all. .
Arriving in front of Uncle Anjing's mansion, Cai Xia carefully helped Su Yan off the sedan chair.
Su Yan raised her head and glanced at the plaque on Uncle Anjing's mansion. It may be because of its age, the gold paint on the plaque has peeled off, making it look mottled.
White silk and satin were hung at the entrance of the mansion, and white lanterns were hung on both sides of the gate, and the sad voice from the mansion was heard endlessly.
The housekeeper who was welcoming the guests at the door saw Su Yan and rushed out to welcome them: "Grandma Wugu is back."
Su Yan nodded, climbed up the steps with a blank expression, and walked slowly into Uncle Anjing's mansion.
In the coffin, the old lady stood in the dark coffin with her back to Su Yan leaning on a cane, and her expression was not seen.
Mrs. Wang and Aunt Li are burning paper money. The four men headed by Su Jing are kneeling on the futon in sackcloth and filial piety. The two children of Su Jing and Yang are already grown up, but Aunt Li’s brother Jin is still a child. , still ignorant, looked around fiercely, seeing Su Yan, he immediately got up from the futon, ran over like Su Yan and shouted with a smile: "Fifth sister!"
Su Yan patted Brother Jin's head, Aunt Li heard the voice and hurried over to pull Brother Jin away, telling him in a low voice not to laugh.
Mrs. Wang also stood up to meet Su Yan, her face was haggard and her eyes were full of sadness. It's just that this sadness seemed a bit fake to Su Yan, and she nodded with Mrs. Wang, and Su Yan entered the mourning hall.
Looking at the huge coffin, Su Yan bowed slightly, as a thank you for giving her life. As for whether Uncle An Jing just disappeared, or someone did something, Su Yan didn't want to know.
Mrs. An Jing heard the voice and turned around slowly. The old lady has silver hair, hunched body and leaning on crutches, with suppressed tears in her slightly cloudy eyes. She suppressed her voice and said: "Sister Yan I'm back?"
Su Yan took a few steps forward to support the old lady, and said in a low voice, "Grandmother, my condolences."
The old lady shook Su Yan's hand vigorously with her wrinkled hands, and sighed deeply: "Actually, it's better if your father left earlier, or you will suffer if you stay in this world."
Su Yan turned around and held the old lady, comforting her silently.
The old lady looked at Su Yan's tall belly: "Okay, you have a big belly, don't be tired. Sister Jian is also back, go talk to her, don't be bumped here, ah."
The old lady talked to Su Yan as if she was coaxing a child.
Su Yan nodded, let go of the old lady's hand, went to Anjing Boling's seat, took the incense handed by the maid, bowed three times and put it in the incense burner.
When she turned around and passed Uncle An Jing's coffin, Su Yan thought to herself: "The past is gone, if you can still be reborn as a human, please remember not to do bad things again in your next life."
More and more people came to express their condolences. Fearing that people would bump into Su Yan, the old lady hastily asked someone to lead Su Yan to the backyard. Hearing that Su Jian was in her room, Su Yan looked for it.
Walking on the small road with her belly out, looking at the familiar scenery and buildings around her, Su Yan suddenly remembered the scene when she just returned to the capital. At that time, she was still a little concubine, and she still had to plan carefully when facing the eldest lady and Su Rong, step by step.
It's only been three years, and everything has changed. Time flies so fast and so many things have changed. I really don't know what kind of situation this Uncle Anjing's Mansion will be in three years from now.
But I think it will get better and better when I come to Uncle Anjing's Mansion. Su Yan heard from Chu Yan that Su Jing's knowledge is good, and his temper is not crooked.
Just as she was thinking wildly, Su Yan arrived at Mrs. Wang's courtyard. Su Jian's room was still reserved, and the layout was exactly the same as before. When she saw Su Yan coming in, Su Jian stood up to greet her: "Fifth Sister is here."
The child in Su Jian's womb is still young and has not yet shown signs of pregnancy. She was dressed in plain clothes, her eye circles were slightly red, she looked at me as if I felt pity for her, and I don't blame the prince for pampering her so much.
But even though her eye circles are red, Su Yan can't see much sadness from Su Jian's face. It seems that Uncle An Jing really failed as a father.
"It's quite noisy in front, but you are quiet here." Su Yan's big belly was sticking out, and now Su Yan couldn't see her own toes when she was standing.
Su Jian pulled Su Yan to sit down and said: "Can you not be quiet? My mother is afraid that there will be some problems with my baby, so she asked me to burn incense and come here."
Instinctively, when Su Yan sat down, she took Su Jian's arm and took her pulse. The pulse was like pearls rolled on a jade plate. It was undoubtedly slippery pulse, and the pulse was quite strong.
Letting go of Su Jian's hand, Su Yan asked casually: "How is the Crown Princess? Didn't make things difficult for you these days?"
Hearing Su Yan mention this, Su Jian smiled softly: "She doesn't care about me now. Since she moved into the Prince's Mansion, more than ten women have been sent into our mansion at once. She is now guarding against those who I can't guard against it personally, how can I care about me."
When it was mentioned that there were many women around the prince, Su Jian's expression didn't change at all, and he didn't smell jealous at all, and even felt a little gloating at the prince's misfortune.
Su Yan knew that Su Jian really didn't take the prince seriously, otherwise she wouldn't have no reaction at all. Su Yan also understands that Su Jian gave Wang Zhu all her feelings when she was young, even if she is with the prince now, no matter how good the prince is, the man in Su Jian's heart is not him.
But this is actually not a bad thing for Su Jian, at least she won't be dazzled by jealousy and can stay awake at all times. And sobriety is the rarest thing for a favored concubine.
While Su Yan was still regretting, Su Jian suddenly sent out all the maids, and Su Yan also sent out her own maids when she saw this.
After the maid closed the door tightly, Su Yan took Su Jian's hand and asked, "You have something to say to me?"
Su Jian nodded and lowered her voice: "Fifth Sister, I don't want to be a concubine anymore."
