When Tong heard the news of Cui Mo's death in battle, he rolled his eyes and passed out.
Yuxi asked Qi Hao to bring the imperial physician.
Seeing Tong fainted, the imperial doctor hurried over and gave her two needles. When the needle goes down, the person wakes up.
Tong cried loudly: "Master, why did you go like this. Master, what can I do if you leave this family behind..." Before leaving this time, Cui Mo also said that this was his last time on the battlefield. . In the future, I will stay at home and enjoy the fun of having sweets and grandchildren. Unexpectedly, this separation turned out to be a farewell.
Qi Hao was also very uncomfortable, and when he heard Tong's sorrow, his eyes turned red: "Madam, please be sorry."
After leaving the imperial physician to wait in Cui's mansion, Qi Hao returned to the palace. Seeing Yuxi, Qi Hao said, "As my mother expected, Madam Cui couldn't bear the blow and fainted."
Yuxi sighed and said: "In this battle in Tongcheng, more than 200,000 people were killed in the battle. These more than 200,000 families have to endure the pain of losing their loved ones."
There are white-haired people giving away black-haired people, some have lost their husbands, and some have lost their fathers. For them, this is the greatest grief in the world. Thinking of this, Qi Hao looked sad.
Upon seeing this, Yuxi immediately changed the subject: "The Tongcheng war is over, and your father should be back soon." Cui Mo died in the battle, and the saddest thing was Yun Qing. She was not around, not even a person to comfort him.
Qi Hao looked up and said, "Mother, don't let Dad go to war again." This time about Cui Mo, Qi Hao's heart was overshadowed. He couldn't imagine what would happen if something happened to his father.
"Don't worry, this is the last time, and I won't let him go on an expedition in the future." In the future, there will be no major battles that require Yun Qing Yujia's personal expedition.
With these words, Qi Hao felt more at ease.
On the second day, Jiang Yizheng returned not long after he left. He happened to be seen by Yu Rong, who was about to go out shopping, and asked, "Azheng, what's the matter with you? What happened?" Judging from Jiang Yizheng's expression, he knew that it was not a good thing.
"My father-in-law is gone." Although Cui Mo is Jiang Yizheng's father-in-law, the two have only met three times. However, Jiang Yizheng still admires him very much. Now I heard that he was killed in battle, and I felt sad.
Yu Rong's expression changed drastically: "How come?" Although it is said that those who fight will inevitably die, Cui Mo is the age of leading soldiers. The probability of accident is extremely small.
Seeing Jiang Yizheng turning around and preparing to go out, Yu Rong took his arm and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I will tell Qianqian about this, and then accompany her back to Cui's house." Cui Mo died in battle. Although the coffin has not been shipped back, Qianqian must go home for the funeral as a daughter.
Yurong was anxious: "No, I can't tell her."
Jiang Yizheng stopped, looking at Yu Rong with a look of inattentiveness and said, "Mother, what are you talking about? My father-in-law died in battle, how can I not tell her about such a big thing?"
"No. If she can't bear such a big blow, the child will be in danger." Qianqian is pregnant again, but the month is very young, only one and a half months.
Children under three months of age are the most vulnerable. As for Cui Qianqian, her body is relatively weak. If Cui Mo is not agitated, her grandson is in danger.
Jiang Yizheng was too angry: "Mother, how can you say such a thing? My father-in-law is gone, and Qianqian, as a daughter, doesn't go to the funeral, how can you let her behave in the future?"
Yu Rong was a little guilty, but she quickly said with a stubborn neck: "Isn't this a special situation! I think my mother-in-law will also be considerate."
Jiang Yizheng was so angry that he said, "Mother, if you want to conceal such a big thing, you can't hide it. Moreover, if you really hide it, Qianqian will hate us forever in the future."
After speaking, he pushed away Yurong's hand that was holding him, and left angrily.
Yu Rong was also very aggrieved and said to herself: "Who am I doing this for? It's not for you yet."
Qianqian was surprised when he saw Jiang Yizheng: "Msang Gong, why are you back? Is the yamen okay?" The child couldn't smell a bit since he was hit on his body, and he vomited when he smelled it. During this time, Qianqian was tossed hard.
"Yamen happened to be fine today, so I asked for leave to come back to accompany you." After finishing speaking, he sat on the soft edge and asked, "How is it today, is it okay?"
Qianqian nodded and said, "Drank a bowl of white porridge in the morning." Not to mention meat, she can't even eat bird's nest, and can only eat boiled white porridge every day.
The couple chatted with each other, Jiang Yizheng deliberately chatted about the battle in Tongcheng: "Qianqian, I heard that more than 200,000 soldiers were killed in the battle in Tongcheng." Such a number is really amazing.
Qianqian was a little sad when she heard this: "After this battle, I don't know how many families are going to be shattered." After her biological father died in the war, her mother remarried, and she became an orphan without a father or mother. But she was fortunate enough to meet Tong and Cui Mo who regarded her as their biological daughters. There are also those unlucky children who are afraid that there will be no food to eat.
Jiang Yizheng lowered his voice and said, "Qianqian, I told you something, don't worry."
Qianqian's face changed, and she grabbed Jiang Yizheng's hand and asked, "Is there something wrong with my father?"
Jiang Yizheng nodded slowly: "Father-in-law, he died for the country..."
Before he finished speaking, Qianqian fainted.
After receiving the news, Yurong rushed over and saw Qianqian who was lying on the bed with a pale face. He couldn't help but cursed Jiang Yizheng: "I said I can't tell her, you don't listen. If something happens to my grandson, I will tell You are not finished." If Qianqian is in good health, she certainly wouldn't want to hide it. But Qianqian's pregnancy was difficult, and she was worried that Qianqian would be irritated and rob her of her baby.
Jiang Yizheng felt that he couldn't communicate with Yurong.
Qianqian woke up soon, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he would go back to Cui Mansion. Yu Rong said with a black face, "How can you go to Cui Mansion like this? You don't care if you don't care about yourself, why don't you even care about the child in your stomach?"
No matter how wronged Qianqian was before, he never refuted Yu Rong face to face. But now, when she heard these words, the anger in her heart rushed upwards: "My father is gone, you can still say such things, are you human?" She never felt that this mother-in-law was so cold-blooded.
Yurong's face turned purple with anger: "I'm sorry if my father-in-law is gone, but you are now a twin. You don't do it for yourself, but you have to take care of the children in your stomach."
"Go away, I want to go home." Even if he leaves, she will go home for the funeral today.
Jiang Yizheng saw that something was wrong, and personally pulled Yurong out: "Mother, don't make any more trouble. Mother, you go back to the house, and I will take care of the matter here."
After coaxing Yurong away, Jiang Yizheng immediately turned back and returned to the house. Seeing Qianqian was looking for clothes, he hurriedly walked over and took her hands and said, "Qianqian, I have called the doctor. When the doctor shows you, we will go to Cui Mansion."
Seeing that Cui Qianqian hadn't heard her, Jiang Yizheng said: "Qianqian, His Royal Highness went to Cui's mansion last night and told her mother-in-law about the news."
Cui Qianqian looked up at Jiang Yizheng and asked, "Are you saying that my mother knew that my father was gone yesterday?"
Jiang Yizheng naturally knew what Cui Qianqian was thinking: "Mother-in-law did not send someone to inform you of this matter last night, so she must be afraid of disturbing you." In fact, Tong is not afraid of disturbing Cui Qianqian, but she is in grief. There is no time to take care of the others.
Cui Qianqian couldn't help but touched her stomach, and said softly, "Msang-gong, my mother must be very sad, I have to accompany her." This meant that she wanted to live in Cui's mansion for a while.
It would be even worse not to let Cui Qianqian return to Cui's house to live with her.
Jiang Yizheng nodded and said, "Okay. But you have to promise me to take care of myself and my children."
Cui Qianqian nodded.
When I arrived at Cui's house, watching the white silk and white lanterns hanging at the door, Cui Qianqian's tears fell uncontrollably.
As soon as Tong saw Cui Qianqian, he hugged her and cried loudly: "Qianqian, your father is gone, he left me and left." That voice carried endless grief.
Cui Qianqian is a girl with a particularly tough personality. She saw that Tong's state was not right, and she endured Shangtong's relief and said: "Mother, if you want to let Dad see this now, he is not at ease. Mother, Dad often said The fate of a soldier is the shroud of horse leather. Now that he died for the country, we should be proud of him."
If Tong did not hear this, he continued to cry.
Ruo Qianqian wiped the tears from his eyes, and continued: "Mother, my younger sibling, she is young, so she doesn't know how to manage father's funeral. Mother, father has been tired all his life, you have to let him go gracefully."
When Tang Jinxiu heard this, he said hurriedly: "Mother, I have never taken care of a funeral. If my mother doesn't give me instructions, there will be mistakes." Therefore, Tang Jinxiu treats her as his mother.
Cui Qianqian took Tong's hand and choked sobs: "Mother, father is gone, we have to send him away decently."
Tong grabbed Cui Qianqian's hand and cried and said, "You are right, we have to send your father gracefully. Otherwise, I won't have the face to see him when I get to the ground."
Cui Qianqian's hanging heart finally let go. If you have something to do, you won’t be blindly immersed in pain and unable to extricate yourself.
Tong wiped his tears and let Cui Qianqian go to rest after calming down. Seeing Cui Qianqian's reluctance, Tong said, "I and your siblings are the affairs of the house, so you don't need to worry about it. You are pregnant with a child, so you can't be affected. Go back to your house and rest."
When Cui Qianqian saw Tong cheer up, he no longer acted aggressively, so he took the maid back to her boudoir before leaving the pavilion to live in.
Cui Weiqi also went to fight in Tongcheng, and Cui Weigao followed Brother You to Anhui. The two sons of the Cui family are not around, so the son-in-law Jiang Yizheng will naturally help entertain the guests. Until lunch, he took a moment to visit Cui Qianqian.
When it arrived, Cui Qianqian happened to be eating noodles. Seeing her eating a bowl of noodles, Jiang Yizheng felt much more relieved.
Cui Qianqian took the veil and wiped his mouth and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of myself and my child." Although she was sad, she wouldn't make fun of her.
