A fire was extinguished, and the cold current slowly penetrated in, and Xue Mei shivered gently.

Everyone was a little stunned.

A choking sound suddenly broke the silence.

Xue Mei looked over in the voice and saw a sad face.

The face is still very beautiful, but it is covered with a layer of gray, and the lips and face are white, like a statue made of white jade.

It's Xue Yutan.

After choking, she whimpered.

Her maid hurriedly persuaded her and asked the second lady to mourn; the Marquis of Yongning and the Old Lady also came to her senses.

Especially the Marquis of Yongning, he suddenly thought about why Xue Yutan cried: his mistress died, and the concubine Xue Yutan, a concubine, had been mourning for twenty-seven months, more than two years!

Her marriage with King Yu was originally meant to be early rather than late.

She also bewitched King Yu and asked his concubine to quickly get their wedding as soon as she became pregnant.

Now……

If a family who is more particular about marriage has not discussed the marriage during the filial piety period, they have to wait for filial piety to be expressed; if they have filial piety to be expressed, the process may be another half a year.

Nearly three years!

How many changes have been made in three years?

Xue Yutan only felt that all five were burned. She couldn't bear the pain and cried out.

The old lady and Yongning Hou seemed to have thought of this, and they both changed their faces.

Some even looked at Xue Mei and Xue Chi.

Xue Mei did not cry, but looked calmly: "I want to go in and see, my mother will not die."

She seemed to be even more sad and could not accept the news of her mother's death.

She walked towards the fire pit that had not yet been completely cooled.

Xue Chi grabbed her.

Xue Mei still had to struggle, Xue Chi held her in her arms and coaxed her softly: "It's okay, Mei'er, you still have your brother, you still have your grandmother and father, it's okay!"

Xue Mei's maid next to her also cried.

This behavior did not lose to Xue Yutan, at least others would not say that Xue Mei was cold-hearted.

After a quarrel, Yongning Hou asked everyone to go back. The people in the mansion had to wait until Yu Hui cooled down and check the situation inside.

Xue Chi sent Xue Mei back to Huining Garden.

Xue Run was going to follow him, but was driven away by Xue Chi.

The maid fed hot water, and Xue Mei and Xue Chi used hot veils to wipe their cheeks slightly stiffened.

After wiping his face, Xue Mei applied her own skin care products and was fascinated with the hot tea handed over by the maid.

Xue Chi was silent.

"...Brother, it's fine to enter Huai Pavilion, why did it suddenly catch a fire?" Xue Mei asked him.

Xue Chi pondered, and seemed to hear it.

After Xue Mei called him twice, he came back to his senses and whispered: "I don't know, I will investigate this matter secretly."

"good."

Xue Mei was very tired and had no appetite. Her head was buzzing, but she was sleepy. She sat on the chair for a moment, but she was still clueless.

She was a little sad for no reason, not sure whether it was her own emotions or the original owner.

It should be her own.

The original owner has been away for almost a year, and many of her feelings have slowly been worn away, leaving only a long-term memory of Xue Mei.

He is a mother after all.

After being burned to death like this, Xue Mei's emotions were hard to calm down. If Pan fell ill or died without illness, Xue Mei might not have been like this.

She couldn't remain indifferent.

The Marquis of Yongning personally investigated the cause of the fire entering Huai Pavilion, but did not report it to the official this time.

"The first house to enter Huai Pavilion is the first house. There are a lot of wood, and the wood is a little rotten." said Yongning Hou. "The eldest lady was probably knocked over by the candlestick and burned up without knowing it."

It was late at night.

The fire broke out, and Pan and two maids were unconscious in the thick smoke, and no one knew to ask for help.

"...The place close to Futang, there are some grays that do not look like wood, they should be bones, and there is also a burnt jade pendant underneath." Yongning Hou said again.

The eldest wife Pan was indeed burned to death.

The Xue family did not care about repairing the Huai Pavilion, so they hurriedly surrounded the location where they entered Huai Pavilion and held a funeral.

The funeral at the Yongning Marquis' Mansion alarmed many people.

Such a settlement can make the people in the capital care about his family's affairs. One is that the fire is more likely to attract attention due to disasters; the other is that the two daughters of Yongning Hou.

After the eldest daughter retired from the marriage, she had contacts with King Rui and Prince Ancheng. Although no one believed that the two princes admired Miss Xue. However, the oil-paper umbrella made Xue Mei into the eyes of many noble ladies.

She retired from the bride, and her various things were discussed. Therefore, some families wanted to marry Xue Mei.

Although the Yongning Marquis Mansion was ruined, Xue Mei earned herself a county lord. She was able to make friends with two empress dowagers, Concubine Dan Tai, outside the palace, and be the ancestor of the Lu family, and she was capable.

Many families valued her these things and wanted to marry her as the eldest daughter-in-law and manage the family in the future.

As soon as Pan died, Xue Mei had to keep mourning for twenty-seven months. She was already eighteen years old, and if she dragged on her, she was really an old girl.

Those who want to get married have been extinguished for a moment, and it feels a pity.

In addition to the Lord of Chengyang County, there is naturally Miss Xue Er, the prospective daughter-in-law of Concubine Dan Tai.

Regarding Miss Xue Er, there are more topics than those of Chengyang County Lord.

Now, Miss Xue Er, who can provoke Prince Yu to make a big fuss in Linhua Palace and the imperial concubine also wants to give in to her, also has to be filial, which is interesting.

In order to get the latest gossip, many people came to pay their respects and asked for a few words.

Pan's funeral was held very lively.

On the third day of the funeral, King Rui came to pay his respects in person, shocking Kyoto.

"...Mei'er, I've seen your mother call your elder brother 'master' before." Xiao Jingcheng said to Xue Mei, "So, don't be too sad, who knows what's going on."

Xue Mei: "..."

When Xiao Jingcheng was a cat, he was particularly gossipy and often eavesdropped everywhere.

"Your elder brother speaks very carefully and acts carefully. I have followed him for more than ten days, but I have not heard any valuable words, and I have never seen anything wrong with him and his two servants." Xiao Jingcheng frowned slightly, "The more I do this, the more I feel that he is strange."

After he said this, Xue Mei finally felt a little relieved when she remembered the woman who pretended to recite scriptures.

She joked with Xiao Jingcheng: "No matter what my elder brother is, you came this time, but the value of the Yongning Marquis Mansion has been raised. My second sister is quite beautiful, but I don't know how to guess outside."

Xiao Jingcheng: “…”

He thought of this and had only delayed it for a day, otherwise he would have come yesterday.

"It's okay, everyone knows that I'm about to marry you." Xiao Jingcheng said.

Xue Mei looked straight: "Unless you can find my real mother, you have to let the Hou Mansion recognize her, otherwise it would be bad for you if you marry her within twenty-seven months."

The saying "It's not good to you" made Xiao Jingcheng's heart surge.

He gently held Xue Mei's hand and let go: "I won't say it."

He was full of thought that he could get married in one year, but now all plans have been disrupted. Xiao Jingcheng was in a bad mood, but he couldn't reveal it.

"This matter has something to do with Xue Chi?" Xiao Jingcheng couldn't help but suspicion, "It's a pity that I'm not a cat now..."

Seven days later, the empty coffin with his clothes was moved to the ancestral tomb of the Hou Mansion, and the funeral was over.
