Chapter 562: The Heart

Capital, Cao family, Dongfu, front hall.

Seeing that it was already late at night, Cao Yin waved to Sun Jue and Seshtu and said, "I'll get up early tomorrow, so you can go back first!"

The Prince Ping and his wife were also here during the day. Because Cao Jia was a little uncomfortable, the couple went back first.

Cao Ying's face was full of sadness, and Cao Yi's eyes were red. After all, he had deep brotherhood and friendship, and it was not a good time to be a sister.

Zhao Jia has been bedridden these days, and Li has been resting due to tiredness a few days ago.

Nowadays, Chu Yu and Jing Hui sister-in-law are arranged by the inner house; Cao Yin brings two nephews and two sons-in-law to prepare.

After these days, Cao Yin lost weight, and seemed several years old, his face was full of blemish.

According to the rules, those who hang themselves, swallow gold, take poison, or die by accident cannot stop the soul and mourning at home. This person is a "bad death" and a taboo at home. Usually, they keep the coffin in the temple to prepare for funerals.

Cao Shuo's side concealed the cause of death.

Even Cao Ying and his wife and Seshtu thought Cao Shuo had an emergency and died, but they didn't expect to go to the other side. Only Cao Yi saw something wrong when he was attending the funeral for the first time, and his sister-in-law was not there, and even Cao Shuo's maids were missing.

She asked Chu Yu privately, but Chu Yu was still hesitant and said nothing, and was hesitant. Because this "seal order" was given by her father-in-law Cao Yin, although Chu Yu did not want to hide it from Cao Yi, it was not easy to disobey her father-in-law's orders.

It just so happened that Cao Yin wanted to search for the details of the sect. Seeing that Cao Yi was suspicious, he did not hide it from Cao Yi and told her the truth.

Cao Yi heard that these things were caused by gambling and were related to his mother-in-law's cousin, so he was also full of confusion.

Cao Yin asked her to be filial to her mother-in-law and ignore her parents' affairs. This is the duty of being a wife.

Having said that, Cao Yi finally buried his mind.

However, this is related to the reputation of my younger brother, so it is not easy to find the ancestral court to settle the score with great fanfare, so it can only make people keep a secret eye on it, seeing that he is not acting properly and unintentionally implicated Cao Shuo; or he still keeps his evil intentions and deliberately lures Cao Shuo to gamble, and has other intentions.

After being the Duke of the Kingdom for half a year, Cao Yi has had more clan relatives in socializing, so he has gained a lot of knowledge.

The four words "people's hearts are unpredictable" are always kept in her heart.

Although Cao Shuo and her were not born from the same mother, they were connected by blood after all, and it would be unbearable to do so if they go like this for nothing.

According to Zhao Jia's intention, she originally wanted to have a funeral for her son after 49 days of rituals. Although she was complaining about her son's unfilial behavior, she still hoped that her son could be reborn as soon as possible and become a human being again.

Cao Yin thought about it and decided to hold a "May 7th" funeral.

Cao Shuo has his mother and brother, who died young, and always has to leave room for the elderly at home to do their funeral.

After listening to his uncle's orders, Cao Ying stood up with some concern and said, "Uncle, my niece will go and see my mother first, and then..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard footsteps outside, and then the maid whispered: "Madam, big grandma, second grandma!"

As he spoke, Chu Yu and Jinghui helped Zhao Jia in.

Zhao Jia tied her forehead around her head, her eyes were already sunken, and she looked terrifyingly haggard.

In addition to Cao Yin, Sun Jue and Seshtu both stood up, and Cao Xiang and Cao Fu, who were originally standing aside, also bowed their hands.

"Why are you coming out? Just rest for a while." Cao Yin frowned and said, looking at Zhao Jia's appearance.

Zhao Jia lost her former aura and reacted a little slow. After a while, she replied: "Uncle, tomorrow is the day for San'er's funeral. You have to arrange this banner and basin. I was thinking in my heart that it was useless for me, my mother, and I felt wronged during my lifetime. I always have to make him decent in this last journey..."

Seeing that she was unrestrained, Cao Yin coughed and said, "I was just about to ask you this..." Having said this, he said to Chu Yu and Jinghui, "Sit down with the second wife."

Zhao Jia sat down, and Cao Ying and Cao Yi and his wife sat down one after another.

Although Chu Yu was the sister-in-law of Cao Yi and his wife, because he was a daughter-in-law, he could only stand with Jinghui.

"San'er has no son. Although he married a wife, it's... a mother-son fight. How could I look at him as a mother? The closest person in this bloodline is Tianyou, the cousin of his own brother. Is uncle willing to come and make a banner for our San'er?" Zhao Jia said as she choked, with a look of praying in her eyes.

Cao Yin felt a little embarrassed. This "top banner" and "falling the basin" were a major event.

Tianyou is Cao Shuo's cousin, and "rolling a banner" to his cousin, and "falling a basin" is nothing. In the future, burning paper and incense for his cousin during the New Year holidays is considered to be filial piety.

Only this "load-bearing" event is related to status. In addition to sacrifices, there is also property.

The second house has not split up, but since Cao Shuo has gotten married, he will have to leave one for his family in the future.

After the posthumous son left by Cao Shuo was born, if the girl was fine, there would be no point in saying anything; if it were a boy, it would be in an awkward situation. It would be better for Tianyou, the cousin who had fallen into a basin, to be justified.

Besides, Tianyou is the eldest son and his parents, and although Cao Yin is a grandfather, he is not easy to serve his son, so his wife should give up.

Cao Yin meant that he wanted to arrange for brothers Cao Xiang to "fall basins" and "top banners" for his brothers. Because they were of the same generation, they had no property and had load-bearing. Although there were some shortcomings, they could not be verbal in the future.

Now, seeing Zhao Jia praying like this, Cao Yin sighed in his heart, turned to look at Chu Yu, and said, "Wife, the boss is not at home, can you come and make an idea for him and let Tianyou be his third uncle a son for one day?"

Chu Yu has been very sad these days.

Although there are not many opportunities to come into contact with this brother-in-law, Chu Yu also likes him to be honest and polite.

Thinking about it again, although it was a separate room, her husband was like a brother and sister here. If she came back and got the news, she would feel even more and more uncomfortable.

After hearing the father-in-law want to ask, Chu Yu replied: "It depends on the master's instructions. The wife is completely different. The uncle has always loved his brothers, and even at home, he will respond."

Cao Yin nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll make the decision!"

He thought for a while and said to Zhao Jia: "My brother and sister-in-law, since you are your nephew's daughter-in-law, let's not talk about anything else. Tianyou will give his third uncle filial piety tomorrow. He only hopes that the third child's house will give birth to a male, which is a great kindness. Otherwise, ask the third daughter-in-law where she wants to stay. If she wants to stay, she will choose a child from her clan to bring him to Beijing to raise her."

Although Cao Yan has two sons, the Cao family's bloodline is only Tianyou. If he really wants Cao Shuo to be his heir, it would be inequality.

Zhao Jia only wants her son to be decent for funeral tomorrow, and she doesn't think so much about it.

When Cao Yin responded in advance, she was already very grateful; when she heard that she asked whether her wife was punctual or not, she was stunned and a little lost.

After Cao Yin asked, he realized that he had made up his words.

On the day when Cao Shuo was gone, others could hide it. The Minister’s Mansion was both his uncle and Yue’s family. How could he hide it?

Cao Shuo wrote the story of "letting a wife's letter", which finally made Cao Yin know.

Although they had not yet gone to the yamen to complete the final procedures, from the moment Cao Shuo wrote the "letter of his wife", the two had become "union and separation" and had nothing to do with each other.

Cao Shuo stayed for more than a month, but there was something strange about the relatives and female relatives who did not see Ruhui, the waning man.

The Cao family said to the outside world that Ruhui was in a bad health and was sad, so she went back to the Minister's Mansion to recuperate.

This is also what the Minister’s Mansion means, so it will not be too much for the deceased and not good for the dead or the living.

The funeral will be held tomorrow. If Ruhui doesn't show up, she will probably be unable to hide it.

Not only Cao Yin thought about this, but Zhao Jia also thought about it, but she couldn't help but feel like a knife.

If I hadn't forced my son to visit the minister's house, I wouldn't have let my son be so depressed, and I wouldn't have been like this today... Thinking of this, even Ruhui and Tianxiang were hated...

"If you have a good wife in your family, you will not suffer any disaster." This is true.

I didn't marry a wife or ask for a living ancestor. I just let her do anything good...

Thinking of Tianxiang, Zhaojia hated her more than Tianhui.

If you disturb the family and stay uneasy, you should have beaten to death with one stone, and you will have the disaster today.

Thinking of this, she complained to Jinghui, Cao Xiang, Cao Fu and others.

Jinghui is the eldest sister-in-law of the second wife and the head of the house. When she saw that her brother-in-law was wrong, she didn't know how to discipline and advise her. Cao Xiang and Cao Fu didn't know how to care for their brothers... If he could tell others what he was thinking about, he wouldn't be so unlucky...

Zhao Jia held the chair handle hard, and the palm of his hand hurt.

Even if I have taken care of less over the years, the flesh that fell from my body is the most difficult thing in the world is to be a mother.

After being pregnant for ten months, I was so excited that I was so sad that I was so sad that I was not alone…

The house is so quiet that people are afraid of people. These people in the family are going to "sit at night" tonight, but the girl and son-in-law who are going out are not considered filial piety.

Cao Yin sighed and said to Cao Ying and Cao Yi and his wife again: "Go back first, what time has it been? I will be busy for a long time tomorrow."

Sun Jue and Seshtu helped cook for a long time during the day, but they were still a little tired, so they stood up and responded.

Cao Yi looked at Zhao Jia's appearance. Although she couldn't bear to complain, she couldn't get intimate after all. She followed Cao Ying and left Zhao Jia, and she still called "wife".

Zhao Jia hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something, but she finally didn't say anything.

Cao Xiang and Cao Fu sent their sister and brother-in-law out. Cao Yi was also quite sad to see Cao Xiang getting older in the past month.

Thinking of Cao Yin's old attitude, Cao Yi was finally a little worried, stopped and turned to Cao Xiang and said, "Brother and waiter are not here. Now you should take more responsibility. After all, your uncle is old, so you should also pay attention to it."

Cao Xiang lowered his head and responded, Cao Yi said to Cao Fu again: "Xiaowu, you are the youngest son of a wife. You have to think of ways to help you unlock your wife more. This is the duty of being a child. And your aunt, you should also go and see her. She is the most soft-hearted and now she is not feeling good."

Cao Feng bit his lips and nodded, hesitated for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Three sisters, it is just grief that my mother has lost her third brother. Can't the third sister recognise her mother's name to comfort her kindness? If so, my mother should be able to feel much more relieved."

Cao Yi was stunned when he heard this, and Cao Ying, Sun Jue, Seshtu and others also looked over.

After a while, Cao Yifang shook his head and said, "You are still young. When you become your parents, you will know that this is the flesh on your mother's body, and it will fall off. It's not that you can supplement it if you want to supplement it. This pain is inevitable and irreplaceable. I have been raised by my parents for ten years and have not yet been rewarded. Why should I recognize my wife again?"

Cao Wu stopped saying awkwardly, Cao Xiang begged: "Three sisters, it's for the honorific, let's go over what's past. Third sisters don't complain in their hearts, it's... the family..."

Seeing the appearance of Mr. Cao Xiang, Cao Yi reached out and touched his forehead, and said, "If you can say this, you have grown up. You are kind and you should be blessed. I have no complaints. I have received too much blessing. How can I be greedy or dissatisfied? Don't worry, I am the daughter of the Cao family and your sister. Remember what you should do and what you should do."

Only Seshtu understands this sentence.

Sun Jue's expression was a little strange. Looking at his wife who was not good at speaking, he felt a little dissatisfied.

Apart from the secrets of Cao Yi's life experience, Cao Yi's words should have come out of his wife, the eldest sister.

When the sister-in-law saw that her sister was stupid, she told her what she didn't expect. Or relying on her identity as the Duke's wife, she put forward this trick and treated their sister and brother-in-law as nothing?

Outside the second gate, the carriages of the Sun family and the Duke's mansion were already set up.
