Two hundred and sixty-four: Passing away of Ping Xiangxi (Part 1)
Two hundred and sixty-four: Ping Xiangxi passed away
After Bai Shinian comes back, she doesn¡¯t need to worry about her two children. Except for occasionally intervening in business matters and dealing with the affairs of the two residences, Wen Wan is very leisurely. Coupled with the pampering of her husband, both sons are well-behaved and sensible. Wenwan's current life is like soaking in a honeypot.
Xia Yu came to see Wen Wan. He came with two scrolls: "Princess, this is a gift from Prince Chun's Palace." Other gifts usually have to be approved by Xia Yao and Xia Ying before they are reported to Wen Wan. But the one in Prince Chun¡¯s Mansion is a bit special.
Wen Wan asked the maid below to open the scroll. Wen Wan wanted to see where Yan Qixuan's painting skills had reached.
?? That's not bad.
Wenwan smiled softly. If he didn¡¯t have this talent, he wouldn¡¯t be praised by the teacher. You know, the teacher never praised her, he always called her Kuchiki!
Wenwan didn¡¯t give any more comments, she just asked people to collect the painting and keep it well. The painting skills are good, but there is still room for improvement.
The maid outside came over and said: "Princess, the seventh lady of the Ping Mansion has come to ask to see the princess. The slave girl saw that Mrs. Ping's eyes were red and swollen with tears. I'm afraid she has something to ask the princess for."
Wen Wan looked at Xia Yao: "What happened?" No, what could happen to Ping Mansion? Could it be that something happened to Ping Shang Tang? No, what can happen to Ping Xiangxi?
Xia Yao pursed her lips, originally she didn¡¯t want to tell Wen Wan. But now she had to say: "Ping Xiangxi is about to die. It took so long, and the doctor said it will be just in the next few days." Su Zhenzhen was afraid that this was why he came to the door.
Wen Wan was thinking about whether to meet or not. Bai Shinian didn't know where he came from, and he decided in one sentence: "Let her come in!"
Xia Ying¡¯s pupils shrank after hearing this. But he quickly lowered his head to hide the expression on his face. She had to remember that the princess cared about the Marquis, and the Marquis was the husband of the princess.
Seeing Wen Wan looking at him with a gloomy expression, Bai Shinian said softly: "See you! I don't want you to bear the reputation of being unfilial." Being unfilial will be despised in this dynasty.
Wen Wan actually didn¡¯t want to see her, but Bai Shinian¡¯s husband had this attitude. You can imagine the attitude of others. Wenwan said in her heart that she really didn¡¯t want to see her. But when it comes to this point, you can see it even if you don¡¯t see it. Wen Wan said sadly: "Let her come in!"
Zhenzhen saw Wen Wan and said to Wen Wan with difficulty: "Wen Wan, the doctor said that my father-in-law will be here in the next few days. My father-in-law is also very calm. He just wants to see you, Lord Marquis and Mingrui Mingjin." Wen Wan, if you can, you can" Zhenzhen swallowed all these words when she saw Wen Wan's half-smiling expression.
She smiled softly, it was none of her business whether Ping Xiangxi died or not. The relationship has been severed long ago, why should I go see her if I want to see her now that she is dying?
I really don't want to come here, but I have to say it today: "Wen Wan, in fact, my father-in-law has been regretting it all these years. Wen Wan, these years. My father-in-law always asks my husband how are you doing, every day? They are all concerned about Master Hou's safety and ask Mingrui and Mingjin every day. "Wen Wan, father-in-law, he has always wanted to apologize to you, but he just didn't dare to take this step. If you can, go ahead." Meet him. Meet him and fulfill his last wish."
After hearing this, Wen Wan sat there and smiled for a while: "Regret? There is no regret medicine in this world. I have nothing to do with him anymore. Let's go!" Wen Wan was calm at first, but after hearing these words, she remembered What happened back then left a fire in my heart.
It¡¯s really a pity to leave.
Wen Wan said to Xia Yao: "Xia Yao, I regret it a little. If I had known better, I would have let him return to the west earlier. Otherwise, he would come here to disgust me." She has nothing to do with Ping Xiangxi. But just having the title of biological father made her give in again and again. Over the years, she has given in enough. I don¡¯t want to give in anymore.
Xia Yao thought for a while and then said: "Princess, if you don't want to go, don't go. So what if someone says a few words to you?" Xia Yao knew Wen Wan's temperament. Now I regret not taking action. If you really get to that point, you can't do anything anymore. And he didn't attack Ping Xiangxi any more than he did others. Once this matter is exposed, the princess's reputation will be ruined. So this is something that must never be done.
Wen Wan didn¡¯t respond, but her expression was gloomy.
Bai Shinian came in and looked at Wen Wan with a bad look on his face, and he didn't know how to persuade her at the moment. Bai Shinian couldn't understand the tangle in Wen Wan's heart. I just don¡¯t think it¡¯s a big deal to meet him.
Wen Wan felt a little confused. Looking at Bai Shinian's questioning eyes, she finally said: "Ping Xiangxi is going to die. He wants toSeeing me for the last time, I also want to see you, father and son. "
Bai Shinian touched her hair and was silent for a long time. Finally, he said: "Go, I will go with you tomorrow. If you don't go, you will definitely regret it when you get old. Why don't you just meet me, don't worry as long as I'm here, I won't let them bully you anymore." ¡±
Wen Wan shook her head: "Husband, I don't want to see him. Husband, I really don't want to see him." She had already been mentally prepared for Mr. Fang's words before. But when the time comes, he really doesn't want to see Ping Xiangxi.
Bai Shinian didn't know that Wen Wan's reaction was so intense. Holding Wen Wan in her arms, she said, "Okay, okay, if you don't go, I won't go. I'll take Mingrui and Mingjin with me tomorrow."
Wen Wan knows that people in this era attach great importance to the word filial piety. Wen Wan was a little surprised that Bai Shinian compromised so quickly: "Hubby, I really don't want to go. Don't blame me for being petty."
It was the first time that Bai Shinian saw Wen Wan with such a big emotion. Although filial piety is important, a wife is more important: "You are petty enough, you don't care about one more." Wen Wan has a lot of small problems. For example, being pretentious can kill people when it becomes pretentious. Not much else to say.
Wen Wan hugged Bai Shinian's neck, went up and kissed him: "My husband is so kind."
Bai Shinian tapped Wen Wan's nose and said, "Don't think so much. If you think too much, you will get older easily" Wen Wan is most afraid of being called a yellow-faced woman.
Wen Wan murmured: "Even if you are old, you are not allowed to despise me. Bai Shinian, you promised me that you will be good to me all your life. You can't turn your back on me, let alone despise me." She really fell in love with this man. This kind of love may not be as strong as in the previous life, but it is deep in her bones. If he turns his back on her, Wen Wan doesn't know if she can persist.
It¡¯s not that Wen Wan doesn¡¯t believe in Bai Shinian, it¡¯s just that the happier she is, the more Wen Wan is afraid that these are all a dream. The fear of waking up will be gone again.
Bai Shinian rubbed Wen Wan's head: "Fool, we are husband and wife, how could I abandon you? It's too late to hurt you." After thinking about it, he said, "You forgot, I will abandon you, from now on Brother Rui and Brother Jin will You don¡¯t want me anymore. I¡¯m just a lonely old man. How pitiful is it? It¡¯s too late for me to wait for you, so how dare I turn my back on you.¡±
Wen Wan knew that Bai Shinian was merciful to him: "Bai Shinian, thank you, thank you for loving me so much, thank you for letting me have Mingrui and Mingjin. Bai Shinian, thank you for making me so happy. Thank you." With that, Tears welled up. She always felt that her current happiness seemed to be stolen and unreal.
Bai Shinian felt the uneasiness deep in Wen Wan's heart. His wife was defensive and sensitive. He knew that it was useless to say anything and could only do: "Daughter-in-law, why don't we go back to the house and continue the unfinished business?" The completed move?" It was originally a joke. Unexpectedly, Wen Wan agreed.
Bai Shinian was surprised for a moment, but Wen Wan took the initiative to entangle him, so he naturally refused. The two goblins fought twice. Finally, Wenwan was exhausted and fell asleep.
Bai Shinian touched Wen Wan's forehead: "Daughter-in-law, what are you afraid of?" Wen Wan was in a bad mood today, so forget it. But I haven't been in a good mood these past two days. But after thinking about it over and over again, he couldn't figure out what was wrong with Wen Wan. Business matters are said to be smooth sailing. There was nothing wrong with the court, and he and the children were both fine. Except for Ping Xiangxi's matter, Bai Shinian couldn't understand it. Ping Xiangxi's matter was really not a big deal! Wenwan, who is used to seeing wind and rain, cannot be afraid of meeting Ping Xiangxi.
Xia Yao shook her head and said with a smile: "It's a good thing that the princess's mansion has a strict door. If it didn't spread, it would be publicized in daylight, which would be very unpleasant."
Xia Ying looked at Xia Yao as if she were looking at a monster: "So what if others know? What's so unpleasant about this? Love between husband and wife should not be taken for granted." There was no such thing as spreading the news. The people in the inner courtyard, especially the main courtyard, all had their mouths as tight as needles and threads. Where will the news get out?
Xia Yao was speechless.
Xia Ying looked worried and said: "Xia Yao, have you noticed that the princess has been a little restless these past two days." The princess has looked particularly agitated these past two days. If it was just about Ping Xiangxi, it would be impossible. The princess has never taken Ping Xiangxi seriously.
Xia Yao thought for a moment: "Maybe it's because of the changing weather!"
Xia Ying thought for a while and then said: "I hope it's what you said. But if the princess goes out, we'd better send more people." I don't know if it's her misunderstanding, but she always feels that something bad will happen if the princess is uneasy. occur.
Xia Yao nodded.
Mingrui was completely repulsed by Bai Shinian asking him to visit Ping Xiangxi. It may just be due to respect for his father and his father's prestige. When he wants to objectAt that time, after seeing his father's cold face, he didn't say anything in the end.
Mingjin was not as easy to talk to as Mingrui. After hearing what Bai Shinian said, he said, "Dad, who is Ping Xiangxi? I ??don't know him. Why should I go see him if he is dead?" It's not like Mingjin didn't know. Who is Ping Xiangxi? It's just that he thinks this person is just air. I don't even want to see him.
Bai Shinian said with a cold face: "Why are there so many words? Just go if you are told." The eldest son had nothing to say, and the younger son always opposed him. It¡¯s been half a year and I still haven¡¯t straightened things out.
Mingjin looked at Bai Shinian being unreasonable, muttering and saying nothing. But the look betrayed serious dissatisfaction. According to Mingjin, this is what mother said, a silent protest.
Mingrui was originally feeling uncomfortable (to be continued.
