Chapter 865 The Funeral Begins
When they heard that Bai Xingyan had something to do, his heart was trembling when Fusheng and Fulai came. No one knew what Bai Xingyan was going to do and what he wanted to tell them. They were not afraid of doing things, but they wouldn't be killing people again, right?
The two of them walked to the edge of the bed with their teeth. They were far away and they hadn't noticed it. The closer they were frightened.
Fusheng's eyes were straight. Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you soaked in water?
Fulai was so anxious that he stomped his feet. No, where can the master go to soak in water in this cold weather? It’s because he didn’t take off his clothes? After saying that, he rejected himself. No, no, the master didn’t give him any instructions to prepare water and bathe. So what’s going on?
Bai Xingyan was so cold that he pulled the quilt and wanted to wrap it on his body, but when he wrapped it, he found that it was even colder, and his wet clothes were pressed against his body. He was so angry that he lifted the quilt and shouted at Fu Shengfu: Why are you still standing there? Changing clothes, changing clothes!
Fusheng hurried to find clean clothes. Fulai came over to help him take off the wet clothes, and asked while taking them off: Master, what's wrong with you? You're just giving me a message!
Bai Xingyanya was fighting and cursing himself in his heart. Maybe Bai Heran was not in Beijing for the past six months, and he lived so comfortably that he forgot what was the process of handling it after being soaked in water every night. How could he just put the quilt on his body?
I ask you, did you hear anything just now? Just this night, did you hear anything?
Fu Sheng Fulai looked at each other and shook his head. No, there was no other movement except the crying in the front yard!
There is no movement in Wutong Garden? No one has ever been here?
No! The two of us have been guarding outside the door, let alone people, and even a bird has not flown in.
Bai Xingyan was speechless, he was also confused. He thought that there were secret whistles around him, but he could not stop Bai Heran. So many secret whistles were protecting him together, so Bai Heran could take him out to soak in water without knowing it. Now why should he expect Fu Shengfu to come and two servants to stop the evil Bai Heran?
Forget it. He waved his hand and said, "You two will go to the front yard and get me some paper money. Remember, don't let people see it. Even if someone sees it, don't say it's what my country wants, do you know?
Fusheng doesn’t understand, Master, why do you want paper money? That thing is unlucky!
I will naturally burn paper money. Could it be that I can still write and paint on it? Go quickly, hurry up.
Fusheng didn't dare to ask any more and ran out of the house quickly. Fulai originally wanted to follow him, but Bai Xingyan felt that he was a little panicked in the house alone, so he pulled Fulai and did not let him go.
Fu looked at the wet clothes he had changed, and his heart was filled with anxiety. He had only been here for more than two months and had not experienced the scene of Bai Xingyan being soaked in water every night. This was the first time he met him today. He asked in a low voice: Master, do you think this is a water ghost asking for his life?
Bai Xingyan shivered, what a water ghost? What kind of life is it? If you don’t know, don’t talk nonsense. It would be better if there were really a water ghost.
He cursed in his heart that the water ghost was not afraid, but he was afraid that Bai Heran would use his secret tricks. The girl became evil when she came back from Luocheng and never played cards according to common sense. Just like this time, he couldn't understand how Bai Heran knew that he pushed Bai Yanyu into Yunmeng Lake? Seeing it? No, it was in the middle of the night, and if he saw it, he would not be able to save people!
Bai Xingyan was shocked when he thought of this, saving people? Bai Heran saved people? Yes, why did he forget this?
Bai Yanyu's body was never found, and he was soaked in water in the middle of the night. If the soaking water was really done by Bai Heran, it could only show one problem: Bai Yanyu was not dead and was rescued.
He plopped back to the bed, and Fulai was shocked. Master, the mattress is wet and hasn't changed yet. You can sit on the chair for a while before the servant packs the bed before you rest.
Bai Xingyan didn't react at all, so he sat motionless, but cold sweat broke out on his head and his body began to tremble again.
Fulai thought he was cold, so he quickly took the cloak and put it on him, then helped the person to sit on the chair, and then began to clean up the bed. While cleaning up, he turned his head to look at Bai Xingyan. He saw that Bai Xingyan's face was pale, his teeth kept fighting, and even his legs were trembling. It seemed cold and scared.
Fulai thought to himself that the biological father killed his daughter was indeed not something that could be done easily. Even Duke Wen was scared like this.
But he didn't know that Bai Xingyan was not afraid of Bai Yanyu, but Bai Heran. He was repeatedly thinking about the reason why he was soaked in water, repeatedly thinking about the possibility that Bai Yanyu was saved by Bai Heran, and repeatedly recalling the reactions of Hongshi and Bai Zhenzhen, who were closest to Bai Heran. He wanted to judge whether Bai Yanyu was dead. If he was not dead, if he was really saved by Bai Heran, then he would be finished.
Soon, Fusheng came back, holding a stack of paper money in his hand. He told Bai Xingyan: The fourth lady and the young master were in the mourning hall, and were guarding the third lady! The slave didn't dare to enter the mourning hall, so he asked a stack of paper money from a little girl outside, and gave the little girl a few copper coins, asking her not to speak out. The girl also told the slave that Mrs. Hong bought a very expensive coffin for the third lady, which contained the cloak and hairpins we had retrieved from Yunmeng Lake, and planned to be buried after the funeral and set up a tomb.
Bai Xingyan stood up, took the stack of paper money from Fusheng, limped to the charcoal brazier, and threw the paper inside tremblingly. While throwing it, he muttered: Yanyu, if you die, you will calmly wait below. My father will remember to burn more paper for you to make you live a better life below. If you are not dead, you will forgive my father this time. My father was forced to do so and there was no way to do this.
Fusheng and Fulai were so swollen that he heard it. Could the third lady still not die? How is this possible? Yunmeng Lake is big and deep, how can someone have a chance to survive if they fall in? Isn’t that maid named Lichun an example? What is the master doing?
Bai Xingyan kept burning paper, and then stopped talking, but kept burning. Fusheng opened the window, and the smoke was too big and choking. He wanted to persuade Bai Xingyan not to burn, but Fulai pulled him, shook his head, and said nothing.
Until the paper money was burned, Bai Xingyan lay back on the bed, closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep, but he kept thinking about whether Bai Yanyu was dead. Bai Heran pulled him to soak in water in the middle of the night. What was the meaning of it? According to the servant's reply, Hong's funeral was done by himself and he also paid for it. He should be dead, but what happened to himself being soaked in water?
The next morning was in a daze. Fusheng came in and woke him up. Master, get up earlier. The people in the mansion had gathered in the front yard and burned a lot of paper money. Mrs. Hong sprinkled white stickers, afraid that it would be time for someone to come to pay their respects after a while.
Bai Xingyan sat up and thought about these words. Someone came to pay his respects. If the person was not dead, it would be impossible to have such a big scene.
It seems that the person is still dead. The reason why he was soaked in water was probably because Bai Heran used to punish him in this way before, and it was easy to do it, so he still chose this method this time. Although there are still loopholes, for example, Bai Yanyu, according to what he said, was a mistake and fell into the water. His father was also a person who needed comfort, but why did he still soak him in water?
But at this moment, Bai Xingyan no longer wants to think about these things anymore. The more he thinks, the more loopholes he has. In the end, he can't just make up his mind, which only increases his worries. Why not think about it and take one step at a time!
In the front yard of Duke Wen Guo’s mansion, Hong looked at the white cloth banners in the mansion, the coffin without corpses in the mourning hall, and then the servants in the mansion were kneeling in the mourning hall or kneeling outside the mourning hall and crying constantly, and his heart became more and more disturbed.
She was unwilling to hold this funeral. If she wanted to follow her, she should send people to the lake to salvage it until the body was retrieved. Then the person was considered dead. What is it now? If you don’t see anyone in your life or die, will this person be gone if you have funerals?
But there were some things that could not be allowed to be, just like Bai Yanyu's death could not be believed. No matter how she was so nervous, she had to admit that Bai Yanyu was almost gone. After all, all her belongings were caught, and the beginning of spring was also caught. Yunmeng Lake was full of ice, so cold, how could Bai Yanyu still be alive?
She raised her hand and wiped her tears and asked Haitang beside her: Did the Baitiao be sent to each residence?
Haitang nodded, Madam, don't worry, I gave it all. The third lady has met many noble guests in the past six months and has received the post. It is estimated that in more than an hour, we will come to the door, so we have to prepare.
Hong sighed, and let the fourth lady and the young master bear it. Let them come for gifts or something. How about Aunt Lin? Have you woken up? Is the female doctor in the Geopause still there?
The female doctor lived in Xiangyuan and kept taking care of Aunt Lin. I don’t know if I woke up at this moment, but I guess even if I woke up, I would be dizzy again. Who can stand this kind of thing? Haitang wiped away her tears when she said this.
Someone came outside the mansion. Hong looked back and saw that it was the second master Bai Xingwu and his wife Tan, and the third wife Guan, with Bai Tongjian and Bai Haofeng. The two families came together, both wearing white clothes and plain clothes. Bai Haofeng even asked for filial clothes as soon as he entered the yard. He said that he was his younger brother and should be filial to his sister. Then he greeted her and took the initiative to kneel down to the mourning hall.
Bai Tongjian cried so much that his eyes were swollen. As soon as he entered the door, he rushed to the mourning hall and rushed to Bai Yanyu's coffin and cried so shockingly.
No one stopped her, after all, she started to sob in a low voice, and it looked like she was having a funeral.
Bai Xingwu entered the mourning hall to burn incense to Bai Yanyu. Tan and Guan came up to hold Hong's hand. Several women gathered around and cried for a while. At this time, Bai Xingyan also walked over from Wutong Garden, still looking sad.
