Mrs. Huo's coffin was placed in the middle of the main hall, and the concubines, headed by the ninth aunt, knelt down on their knees. In the hall, only women's crying was heard, and the maids were on one side, pouring tea and moistening their throats secretly from time to time.
Outside the main hall, hundreds of Huo's people stood in the courtyard, dressed in filial piety and sobbing in a low voice. The guests who came to mourn were heartbroken and their eyes were red unconsciously.
Housekeeper Huo Fu stood in the corner, scolding the girl beside him: ”go, even if you tie up, you have to tie the eldest lady out. Today is the day for the eldest lady to be buried. As the eldest daughter, she has no reason not to show up!”
”Yes, I'll take some women with me to bring out the first lady.” The scolded girl said and hurriedly went to find someone.
In the room, aunt LAN, Mrs. Huo's confidant, knelt down in front of Huo Dieyi and kowtowed with a bang: ”it's all the fault of the maidservant. She didn't kill that bitch in time and let her exploit the loophole to get her wife into the prison. Otherwise, she would not die in the prison.”
Huo Dieyi clenched her fist, turned blue, bit her lip and asked, ”aunt LAN, I remember you were taken to the cell at that time. Can you see how my mother died?”
”Miss Hui's words, madam, she is like crazy. She constantly scolds Huo dieying's name and bumps her head against the wall. The maid yells her throat, but she doesn't respond. The head is covered with blood. The maid yells, but no one responds. One night later, the lady just lies in the cell and walks away alone.”
Aunt LAN is crying a snot a tear, constantly kowtow.
”Aunt LAN, are you my mother's loyal servant?” Huo Dieyi raised his eyes and said with a miserable smile.
Aunt LAN vowed: ”maidservant is willing to pay everything for his wife. Without his wife, there would be no maidservant today.”
”In that case, aunt LAN, you can go with my mother.” Huo Dieyi said, squatting in front of aunt LAN. A dagger slipped out of her sleeve. She drew out the silver blade and stabbed aunt Lan's abdomen.
Only listening to a dull hum, aunt LAN widened her eyes, looked at Huo Dieyi incredulously, covered her abdomen and fell heavily on the carpet.
Huo Dieyi quickly pulled up aunt Lan's right hand and put it on the dagger in her abdomen.
She calmly took out the handkerchief, wiped the blood on her hands, hid the handkerchief, knelt on the carpet and cried.
Squeak, the door was pushed open by the girl who came to look for Huo Dieyi. She saw aunt LAN lying on the ground at a glance. She was so scared that she covered her mouth and was stunned on the spot. The two women behind her were so scared that their legs softened. She sat on the ground and looked at Huo Dieyi in shock.
Huo Dieyi knelt down beside aunt Lan's body and said in a dumb voice: ”just now aunt LAN came to my room to say goodbye to me. She didn't leave my mother alone. She blocked my face and killed herself to accompany my mother.”
”Aunt LAN, committed suicide?” The girl screamed.
The two women were also scared to cry. Wiping their tears, they knelt down beside aunt Lan's body.
Huo Dieyi raised his face and said, ”Why are you crying? Aunt LAN is a loyal servant. Don't you carry her out quickly, buy her a coffin and bury her with my mother?”
”Yes, I'll do it now!” Several people were scared, carrying aunt Lan's body to Mrs. Huo's coffin. The coffin had to wait for the servants to deliver it.
Huo Dieyi knelt down in front of the ninth aunt.
Huo Dieyi announced sadly: ”ladies and gentlemen, aunt LAN, who has been with my mother for many years, does not want my mother to go to huangquan road alone. She follows my mother. Aunt LAN is a loyal servant of the Huo family. I hereby announce that the Huo family will bury her.”
This words, startled people around gape, at this time a harsh voice sounded.
”Aunt LAN, an old woman who is greedy for life and afraid of death, will commit suicide? It's a joke. Can't miss Huo resent her and point out that Mrs. Huo assassinated Huo dieying, so kill her? ”
Nine Yi Niang pinches a PA son to sneer a way.
Many people around heard that Mrs. Huo bought a murderer to kill Huo dieying. Because of the uproar, Mrs. Huo died in the prison of Fu Yin, and the people of the government became important again. Everyone could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Now nine aunt mercilessly exposed, and aroused the interest of the idle people to see the play, have stood around staring at.
