Does your husband only love his wife?I turned around and left the house to marry a villain

Xiao Wenbai's death did not surprise Gu Changning too much. On the contrary, it was within his expectations.

If he had not ascended the throne in advance and gained control, sent the best medicinal materials in the palace to the Xiao Mansion in a steady stream, and sent the most qualified imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital to accompany Xiao Wenbai, Xiao Wenbai would have died a year ago.

At this time, the Xiao family soldier who was announcing the death took out Xiao Wenbo's suicide note from his lapel and said, "Before the prince passed away, he wrote a letter to the emperor."

"Bring it here." Gu Changning said.

Xie Jinyun immediately asked the wet nurse to take the two children away, and most of the palace servants serving in the room also left.

Jiang Huai took the letter from Xiao Jiajun and handed it to Gu Changning.

Gu Changning spread out the letter.

The handwriting on the letter was not Xiao Wenbo's. The font was delicate and silky, and looked like a woman's. It was written by Xiao Sangwan.

The letter read: [Your Majesty, when you read this letter, I have already gone to see my grandparents. I am relieved to see my sister marry a good man under your protection. However, there is only one thing I would like to ask Your Majesty to agree to.]

[Don't make a big fuss about my funeral. Xie Jinhua went to Da Zhou to look for medicine for my health. She has been gone for more than a month. She should be in Da Zhou by now. Let the news of my death reach her ears later.]

[When she returns to Yanjing, everything will have been settled. Let it be. I wish the emperor peace and prosperity when you are here.]

There are a few tear marks on the letter, which are probably the tears shed by the writer when he was writing it.

After Gu Changning finished reading the letter, he remained silent for a long time.

He did not have much contact with Xiao Wenbo, and even Gu Changning's memory of his biological mother was submerged by the long reincarnation, but the Xiao family had a strong cohesive force, making everyone in the Xiao family full of blood and continuing the inheritance of the Xiao family's ancestral precepts.

Seeing this, Xie Jinyun stood up and walked past him. Gu Changning suddenly raised his head and reached out to hold Xie Jinyun's hand, saying, "Jin'er, where are you going?"

Xie Jinyun paused, his eyes fell on Gu Changning's lonely face, he reached out and stroked his ears and said: "I'm not going anywhere, I'll stay by your side with you."

Like an obedient child, he handed Xiao Wenbo's suicide note to Xie Jinyun.

Xie Jinyun sat next to him, opened the suicide note, read it, and fell silent.

In fact, to put it bluntly, Gu Changning had already prepared for Xiao Wenbai's funeral. He had prepared for the funeral in the same manner as the previous emperor's. He also planned to use Xiao Wenbai's funeral to send the coffins of the Xiao family members that were transported back from Lingnan to the tomb next to Emperor Jingren. If he didn't hold a grand funeral, none of the living members of the Xiao family would be able to swallow this, and the dead members of the Xiao family would have to live with the bad words of others.

Xie Jinyun knew that Gu Changning had waited too long for this day: "Don't you understand what Master Xiao did?"

"I don't understand." Gu Changning said, "Even if I don't hold a big funeral for him, the most basic funeral standards don't allow him to be buried quietly. He must be announced to the world first. By then, Xie Jinhua will know about his death very soon. He can't live anymore, and he's afraid that woman will be sad."

"Yes, the prince is dead, but I'm still afraid that my sister Jinhua will be saddened by the scene." When Xie Jinyun said the four words "sadden by the scene", Gu Changning's lips moved slightly, and all the complaints were swallowed back.

"They are all pitiful people." Xie Jinyun said, "They are the same as us, pitiful people. When I was eleven years old, I thought I was married to a dead person while holding a tablet. Sister Jinhua became a widow as soon as she got married. The prince loved her but couldn't get her. You left your biological mother at the age of nine and lived in a foreign land for a long time. You were a hostage for ten years. Sang Wan also guarded the prince for ten years. During these ten years, her brother and sister lived a cautious life, and we are also working hard for a better future. It has been very difficult along the way. If you are in trouble, you can keep your promise and temporarily close the door of the Xiao family without hanging the white silk lanterns. I will be the villain. I will write a letter to tell Sister Jinhua that she has the right to know about Xiao Wenbo's death. Our concealment is the greatest pain for her."

Xiao Wenbai's funeral was not just his funeral, but the funeral that all the members of the Xiao family who had died in the past ten years deserved. What the late emperor owed them should be repaid one by one from this moment on.

Gu Changning acquiesced to Xie Jinyun's words.

Xie Jinyun wrote a short sentence to Xie Jinhua: The prince is running out of energy, please come back soon.

The black eagle flew across thousands of miles of mountains and rivers with the letter and brought it to Xie Jinhua.

In just ten days, Xie Jinhua rode back non-stop and soon saw a woman in white on the streets of Yanjing. She stopped in front of the gate of the Xiao Mansion, dismounted, and quickly knocked on the door of the Xiao family.

When Manager Xiao opened the door and saw Xie Jinhua, who looked so thin that she looked unrecognizable, he quickly invited her into the mansion, then ran all the way to the inner courtyard and reported to Xiao Sangwan and Jia Xian, "Miss, son-in-law, Miss Xie is back."

Xiao Sangwan was a little surprised: "Why did Sister Xie come back at this time?"

"If I don't come back early, are you planning not to hold Xiao Wenbai's funeral?" Xie Jinhua walked in from outside.

She rode at full speed all the way, and when she felt tired, she would lie down on the horse's back to take a nap. She ate and drank on horseback. When she returned to Xiao Sangwan, Xie Jinhua was so thin that her bones were just skin and bones. Her eye sockets were red and her eyeballs were full of bloodshot, so Xiao Sangwan almost didn't recognize her.

"Sister Xie, why are you so thin?" Xiao Sangwan stood up, walked quickly forward, took Xie Jinhua's hand and asked.

Xie Jinhua said: "When I received the letter from the Queen, I had just entered the Great Zhou territory. It took me ten days to rush back. Where is Xiao Wenbo?"

When Xiao Sangwan heard her mention "Xiao Wenbai", his throat choked and he couldn't speak.

Xie Jinhua stared at Xiao Sangwan, his sadness was filled with anger, and the emotions that had been pent up for a long time burst out in an instant: "Sangwan, you know the situation of your Xiao family better than anyone else. Your brother has always been a person of great concern to the outside world. If you drag him out and bury him casually, then the world will think that the Xiao family was sorry for the Yan State ten years ago, and ten years later, the Xiao family is still sorry for the Yan State, so they suppressed the funeral and died quietly, afraid that the world would know about their death, and they couldn't raise their heads after death."

"I don't need him to be so kind and considerate of me. I know very well how his health is. I have long been prepared to accept death. I am not as fragile as he thinks. Where did you bury him?"

Xie Jinhua's words and expression frightened Xiao Sangwan.

She felt that if she buried her brother hastily, Xie Jinhua would definitely dig up Xiao Wenbai's grave.

But it was Xie Jinhua's words that moved Xiao Sangwan: "My brother hasn't been buried yet. His body is well preserved in the ice cellar."

Xie Jinhua was excited and angry, but after hearing the answer he wanted, his body softened and he nodded, "You don't have to consider my feelings. Send him off properly. He is a meritorious general, and he deserves a funeral. Letting him go is a good thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Jinhua's eyes went dark...
