Chapter 296: Transmigrated into the Unfavored Cannon Fodder Wife of the Hou Mansion 7
The person who delivered the letter was a young servant dressed in gray. He said that he was carrying a letter to the son of Marquis Guangning on the orders of his master.
Xie Zheng also had many friends in Beijing, so the doorman was not surprised.
On the afternoon of the day he received the letter, Xie Zheng quietly left the house.
No one in the mansion cared about this little thing.
The weather was excellent that day. In the evening, the sky was filled with brilliant rays of light, burning the entire western sky like fire.
Zhuyin asked someone to move a recliner to the yard, and she lay down comfortably, ready to watch the show.
Soon, a thick smoke rose into the sky.
One of the servants shouted in panic, "The fire is coming!"
Not long after, a fire shot up into the sky. From Zhu Yin's perspective, it seemed as if it was burning together with the sky.
The entire Guangning Marquis Mansion was in chaos, and she yawned.
Soon, news came out: the fire started in the west courtyard of the mansion.
Where is the West Courtyard?
The residence where the old marquis recuperated during his lifetime now houses the tablet of the old Marquis of Guangning.
Just three months after the old man passed away, the fire broke out.
Marquis Guangning's face turned pale. If this got out, no one knew how the outside world would interpret it.
"Check! See who is the sneaky one who is so careless!"
But after much investigation, it was found that the person guarding the old marquis's tablet was the old butler who had always served the old marquis. He was cautious and loyal to the old marquis and would never be lazy.
No matter how hard we investigated, we couldn't find the cause of the fire. It seemed like such a big fire had started out of nowhere.
The fire was out and the sound of candles finally came.
Guangning Marquis glanced at her and looked around: "Where is the prince?"
Someone answered, "An old friend came to visit, and the prince went out to visit his friend."
Marquis Guangning frowned but said nothing.
Zhu Yin looked at the people kneeling on the ground in the yard and asked, "Butler Xu, what happened?"
Butler Xu also watched Zhu Yin grow up. He blamed himself and said, "It's my fault."
Zhu Yin said slowly: "Everyone knows that the butler is loyal to the old marquis. I don't believe that the butler failed in his duty."
Guangning Hou heard the hidden meaning in her words and said in a deep voice: "Suxin, if you have something to say, just say it."
Zhu Yin said seriously, "The old marquis's body is still warm, and the memorial tablet is on fire for no reason. I wonder what kind of retribution this is?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the yard fell silent.
The servants knelt on the ground, lowered their heads and dared not breathe.
Guangning Hou glanced at Zhuyin and said, "I know you have resentment in your heart, but there will be no next time for such treasonous words."
Zhu Yin smiled lightly: "Okay, I won't say anything."
She didn't even greet him, but turned around and walked away briskly.
That night.
The masters and ladies in Guangning Marquis' Mansion had a dream.
Early the next morning, Second Master Xie and Third Master Xie came in a hurry to find Marquis Guangning.
"Brother, did you dream about father last night?"
Marquis Guangning still had a dull headache; he had dreamed of the old man last night.
The father in the dream did not look like he was dying, but was full of energy and strong.
He only remembered that the old marquis kept pointing at his nose and scolding him, and not yet satisfied, he picked up a spear and swung it at him, beating him so hard that he rolled on the ground.
Until I woke up in the morning, the severe pain seemed to still linger in my body.
But he couldn't remember exactly what the old marquis cursed.
He asked, "Did you dream about it too?"
"More than that." Third Master Xie said with a bitter face, "Except for Lin Jie'er, who is just two years old, Xing'er, Che'er, and Yan Jie'er, everyone in my family has been scolded."
Mr. Xie nodded and said, "Not only was I scolded, I was also beaten half to death."
He felt sympathetic and wondered, whose father died and whose children and grandchildren would be beaten in their dreams?
It's truly one of a kind.
But after complaining, I felt endless fear in my heart.
He shuddered and said, "Brother, tell me, is the old man unhappy that we didn't take good care of his tablet?"
The old marquis lived a glorious life and was honored with great respect after his death.
After much thought, the burning of the tablet yesterday was probably the biggest injustice he had suffered in recent years.
Marquis Guangning was a military general who had killed countless people. He never believed in these theories about ghosts and gods.
But the whole family dreamed of their deceased father scolding them, so he had no choice but to believe it.
He immediately contacted the best craftsmen to repair the yard and re-erected the tablet.
Several of the old marquis' closest relatives, descendants, all came over to kowtow and apologize.
But it didn't work.
That night, everyone was beaten up by the old man in their dreams again, and he was even more brutal.
Moreover, the pain was so real that even though all the injuries on my body were gone when I woke up, the memory of being beaten was extremely clear.
By the third night, many masters in the Marquis' Mansion were afraid to sleep.
But it was no use. I would turn on the light and read a book or eat, and then at a certain time I would just close my eyes and fall asleep.
Then got beaten.
For a time, the Marquis's Mansion was in dire straits. Master Xie came to find his brother and discussed going to Guang'en Temple to pray for his father.
"There must be something wrong. Could it be that the old man is being wronged underground?"
There was also a dark complexion under Marquis Guangning's eyes.
His two younger brothers were beaten, and he was also beaten every day.
And maybe it was because he was the eldest son, but when his brothers got together to talk, he discovered that he was beaten even harder.
People outside didn't know what had happened in the Marquis' Mansion. They saw that, starting from Marquis Guangning, everyone had dark circles under their eyes, looked haggard, and their clothes were getting looser. They all praised the Xie family for being filial and said that the old Marquis was blessed.
The Xie family was simply in tears.
Unlike his father and uncles who were actively trying to find a solution to the problem, Xie Zheng felt very anxious.
Of course he got beaten too.
Moreover, he didn't dare to say that he was beaten harder than anyone else.
According to the brothers and sisters in the family, the grandfather was the most cruel to his three sons. The grandchildren were mostly scolded, and the older ones were also beaten, but not as severely as the three sons.
It can be seen that the old man is a particular person.
But others didn't know that the one who was beaten the most severely in the dream was not Marquis Guangning, but him, the eldest son of the marquis's mansion.
In his dream, he was stripped of his outer robe, pressed to the ground, and whipped severely with a horsewhip by his grandfather.
He was beaten so bloody that there was not a single piece of healthy flesh on his body.
If this happened in real life, he would be half dead even if he didn't die after being beaten like this.
But in the dream, the pain of being beaten was real, but when he woke up, his body was clean and tidy.
There is nothing but the pain that remains in the memory.
After being tortured like this for a few days, Xie Zheng fell ill as expected.
But what he didn't expect was that even though he was seriously ill and had a fever, his grandfather who had passed away in his dream had no intention of letting him go.
Still holding him down and pumping.
He was strangely ill and was being cared for, and when he was beaten in his sleep he could not help but beg for mercy.
Although Marquis Guangning was strict, he still cared about his eldest son and discovered the signs when he came to visit him.
He was silent for a long time, and then ordered his confidant: "Go and check what the prince has done these days when he was out of the palace."
