Wei Yun still maintained the kneeling position, lowered his head, and did not dare to lift it up.
Chu Yu stood in front of the coffin, holding his hand on the dark coffin without saying a word.
Although Wei Yun did not say who each coffin belonged to, the placement of the coffin had its own etiquette rules. Wei Zhong was the prince, so he was naturally in the first row. Wei Yun was the prince, and was on the left behind Wei Zhong's coffin.
There was a suppressed crying sound in the long street in the distance. Chu Yu's hand trembled slightly. Just as she was about to say something, she heard a shrill cry: "Liu Lang!"
Immediately, when I saw Wang Lan could no longer hold back, she rushed down the steps with her skirt and searched for the last row of coffins.
She was still pregnant, and the maid next to her was so scared that she quickly went to support her. However, Wang Lan ran very fast. She pounced on the coffin and started crying heart-wrenchingly.
This cry seemed to have broken some taboos. Everyone no longer suppressed themselves, either sobbing or crying loudly. For a moment, the whole house of the Wei Mansion was full of crying, inside and out of the street.
Jiang Chun had already cried, and even died, so at this moment, she could calm down. She walked to Chu Yu with red eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Mrs. Young Master, the Seventh Master is still kneeling."
Chu Yu suddenly came back to his senses. She turned around and hurriedly helped Wei Yun: "Seventh Master, please get up."
However, Wei Yun did not move, Chu Yu was slightly stunned and whispered: "Seventh Young Master?"
Wei Yun didn't say anything, and his other leg also knelt down, from kneeling on one knee to kneeling on both knees.
Chu Yu was stunned and saw the boy kneeling in front of her and slowly kowtowed.
"Sister-in-law," he said hoarsely: "Xiao Qi broke his promise and did not bring his elder brother back."
When he went there, he said that if Wei Jun had one less hair, he would come to see him.
However, now he is still alive, and what he brings back is full of coffins.
His body trembled slightly, and finally he spoke in a suppressed voice like a boy: "Sister-in-law... I'm sorry..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt a hand fall on his head.
Although his hand was slender, it was particularly warm. He heard Chu Yu's gentle voice: "It's okay, I'm very happy that Xiaoqi can return safely."
Wei Yun looked up blankly and saw the woman's eyes holding tears. The gaze was tough and gentle, with a force that supported the hearts. It seemed a little out of place and particularly clear in the howling sound.
Wei Yun looked at her and saw her suddenly get up and smiled at him, "Stand up, come back thousands of miles, go through the brazier first."
As she said that, she called someone, put down the brazier, and helped Wei Yun stand up.
However, at this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from afar. Wei Yun and Chu Yu looked up at the same time and saw more than a dozen people in the Dali Temple's official uniforms parked in front of the Wei Mansion.
Wei Yun clenched his fists, and everyone next to him was shocked. The maid helped Wang Lan and quickly dodged. The young ladies who were originally crying on the coffin also dodged.
The leader looked only thirty years old. He stood at the horse and looked at Wei Yun coldly, holding up the imperial edict and said, "Dali Temple is ordered to capture Wei Yun inmate," he said, "Come on the way, arrest him for me!"
The moment the sound fell, the people from Dali Temple rushed up.
Wei Qiu took the guards and rushed forward, drew his sword to the surrounding soldiers, and said angrily: "Cao Yan, what are you talking nonsense!"
As he said that, Wei Qiu looked at the standing coffin, holding the sword's hand trembled slightly: "The whole family of our Wei Mansion sacrificed their lives for the country. How could there be any reason to capture this only young master and be imprisoned?! Don't bully people too much!"
Cao Yan is the youngest son of the Cao family. Many years ago, the Cao family sent their eldest son to the battlefield to hand him over to the Wei family's army, but was beaten to death because they did not uphold military discipline. Therefore, the Wei family was in trouble. Cao Yan immediately took charge of the capture of Wei Yun in Dali Temple.
The court is well aware of the grudges between the two families of Cao Wei. Now that Cao Yan is here, everyone naturally thinks that Cao Yan deliberately makes things difficult for him.
After hearing Wei Qiu's words, Cao Yan smiled coldly: "What are you? This is the imperial edict written by the emperor! Your Wei family is greedy for me and is competitive, and killed 70,000 elite soldiers of the Great Chu in Baidi Valley. Do you think that if someone dies, it will be gone? Wei Yun," Cao Yan raised his voice: "Don't struggle if you know the truth, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!"
Wei Yun didn't say anything, he looked up at Chu Yu.
While everyone was panicked, the man kept looking calm. When he saw him, she just said, "If you step over this brazier, you will be able to enter the house after you have bad luck."
"sister in law……"
He made a sound dry, but Chu Yu grabbed his wrist and pulled him over the brazier.
Then she held the mugwort and patted him gently.
Everyone calmed down, and looked at Chu Yu as if nothing had happened. He just welcomed a wanderer who returned home and sprinkled mugwort water on Wei Yun's head, then took the wine glass from the side and handed it to Wei Yun.
"Although I didn't return triumphantly, I prepared this Zhujie wine when you go. Since I'm back, I'll drink it."
Chu Yu held the wine glass in both hands, his voice gentle.
Cao Yan frowned and shouted angrily: "Wei Yun!"
Wei Yun ignored him, he looked at the woman holding the wine in front of him.
He thought that when he returned home, he would face a mess, a whole family of wails, and he should be the one who supported himself and carried the Wei family forward.
But unexpectedly, he could still walk through the brazier before coming back, drive away bad luck, and even drink a glass of wine like when his father and brother were still there.
When he was young, his father and brother did not allow him to drink. But now if he does not drink this wine, no one will drink it again.
He took the wine and poured it down violently.
Cao Yan finally felt helpless and shouted angrily: "Wei Yun, are you trying to resist the order? Nancheng Army, are you standing there planning to shelter Wei's family?!"
Hearing Cao Yan's words, the Nancheng Army, who had been by the side, could not speak, finally could not pretend to be dead. The leader took a deep breath, and he reached out and made a respectful invitation to Wei Yun and said, "Seventh Master, please don't make it difficult for us to do it."
Wei Yun glanced at him, then looked at Chu Yu, and nodded in the end.
He reached out and asked someone to put shackles on him.
He was carrying dozens of kilograms of shackles on him, but he was still straight. Cao Yan asked someone to pull the prisoner's carriage and sneered at Wei Yun and said, "Seventh Young Master, go up?"
Wei Yun didn't say anything. He looked back at the plaque of the Wei Mansion and his eyes fell on Chu Yu.
"The Wei family... leave it to my sister-in-law for her care."
"Don't worry." Chu Yu nodded, his voice calm and firm: "I'm here, there will be no trouble in the Wei family."
Wei Yun pursed his lips, but said, "Sister-in-law, you must take good care of yourself."
As he said that, his eyes swept to the young ladies standing beside him and said loudly: "A person cannot be resurrected by death, and the living is important. Sisters-in-law should not be too sad. Brothers know about it, and I hope that all sisters-in-law can take good care of themselves."
Chu Yu did not tell Wei Yun about the family changes, but only told the whereabouts of Liang and Liu Xueyang. Wei Yun still didn't know the disagreement between the women in the family, and was worried that several sisters-in-law would be too sad for losing their husbands.
When the third young lady Zhang Han heard this, she turned her head, covered her face with a veil, and cried in a low voice.
Even Yao Jue's eyes were red even red.
However, she and Xie Jiu were born into a big family. They had long known the situation of the Wei family and would never dare to involve them. What's more, the Yao family and the Wei family were also intimidated, and her relationship with her husband was far less than that of other young grandmothers.
Just because the loyal family is buried, if you have a little conscience, you will feel sorry for it.
Listening to Wei Yun's words, the housekeeper showed dismay. He glanced at Chu Yu, afraid that Chu Yu would complain at this time. However, Chu Yu smiled and said to Wei Yun: "You don't have to worry, take good care of yourself in prison. We are all your elders, and you can think more easily than you."
Wei Yun felt relieved, nodded, and got into the prison car.
Cao Yan's face was already very bad, and he urged the man to say, "Please go to the heavenly prison!"
When Wei Yun sat cross-legged and turned his back to his female family at home, he put away his weakness and worries just now and turned into peace.
The prison car slowly walked, and he suddenly spoke: "The Wei family was wronged! My father and brother are innocent!"
"Shut him up!"
Cao Yan's expression changed drastically, and he whipped over: "Shut up!"
Seeing him whip, Jiang Chun subconsciously grabbed Cao Yan's whip. Cao Yan noticed that he was blocked, turned his head and squinted his eyes after seeing Jiang Chun: "Madam Second Young Master?"
"Okay, very good," he glanced over the female family in the Wei family and said coldly: "Your Wei family is very good! Where is your eldest wife?!"
No one spoke, Cao Yan made a voice: "Is there no one in charge of the Wei family now? Or is the current chief of the Wei family just a person who dares not even show his face?!"
"The eldest lady is out for visiting relatives, and now the Wei family is in charge of the matter."
Chu Yu stood up, and she fell in front of her hands with her hands folded in front of her, and lowered her head slightly: "Mrs. Second Young Master has just experienced the pain of losing her husband, and she was demented for a moment, so I hope the Lord will forgive me."
Cao Yan's eyes fell on Chu Yu, and after a moment of looking, he slowly said, "Miss of the Chu family? He hasn't seen her husband yet, have you?"
Hearing this, everyone's faces became not very good-looking. Even Xie Jiu, who was standing aside, felt the humiliation.
However, Chu Yu's expression remained unchanged, as if this was just a very ordinary question, and he said calmly: "That's it."
Cao Yan looked at Chu Yu, not knowing what he thought of, and laughed: "I heard that the young lady is talented and intelligent, and has always been a person who knows the current affairs. Do you know that the Wei family has been convicted and a person who is guilty now," he raised his head and looked at the white flowers of the Wei family's mourning hall, and said, "Tsk tsk": "Isn't it appropriate to give them such decency?"
"you……"
Yao Jue could no longer bear it and suddenly spoke, but was pulled by Xie Jiu beside him. Xie Jiu lowered his voice: "Have you forgotten what your father and brother said? Hold on, you and I will have nothing to do with the Wei Mansion in the future!"
Yao Jue pursed his lips, turned his head, not wanting to look at it again.
She wanted to leave, but for some reason, Chu Yu was there, so she couldn't move.
Her eyes fell on Chu Yu, and when she saw that Chu Yu was neither humble nor arrogant, she asked Cao Yan: "Is the Wei Mansion convicted now?"
Cao Yan's expression changed, and Chu Yu continued: "Since they are still investigating the case, they are not criminals. They have been fighting for the country for their whole lives and returning with a decent return, what's wrong?"
"Does the young lady not understand what I said or pretend not to understand?"
Cao Yan gritted his teeth and spoke. He suddenly approached her and said in a pressing voice: "There is no male in the Wei Mansion now, and there is only a fourteen-year-old child left. Could Miss Chu still want to be a widow for Wei Jun?!"
Chu Yu raised his head and looked at Cao Yan calmly. Seeing her expression shaken, Cao Yan then said, "Miss with the Wei Mansion should know that I have a good relationship with Ling Zun. I will not embarrass the lady even if I give me this thin face."
Hearing this, Chu Yu sighed lightly and lowered his head slightly.
"Since the adults have a good relationship with my father, please give me this face and let my father-in-law and uncles be buried safely."
Cao Yan sneered, he sat up, waved to the back, pointed to the coffin and said, "Smash!"
