   Chapter 716 Extraordinary Trouble (2)

  Lu Mingyu was startled and looked at Zhao Yu.

   Zhao Yu's eyes were swollen like peaches, and her voice was hoarse: "Second sister-in-law, I didn't discuss this with His Highness, it's my own idea."

   "I am the fourth aunt of their sister and brother. From now on, I will raise them as my own children, and I will not let their sister and brother suffer any grievances."

   That's a good idea.

   From a moral point of view, it is very suitable for the fourth uncle and four aunts of the first cousin to raise nephews and nieces.

  Emotionally, Zhao Yu felt very guilty for their sister and brother because of Meng Yunluo's death, and she will take good care of Li Zhen and her brother in the future. Moreover, Li Xian has a clear mind, and Zhao Yu is soft-hearted, so he will not treat the child badly.

   More importantly, the two brothers and sisters can leave the capital and live anew in the mountains and rivers. It's much better than being imprisoned in the house.

  Lu Mingyu didn't think about it for a long time, then nodded: "I will answer you about this matter."

   "The two brothers and sisters will be entrusted to you in the future. The clothing and food allowances of the two brothers and sisters will still be allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. They will be sent to you once a year."

   This is also to save Zhonggong's face, so as not to spread any unpleasant words.

   Zhao Yu didn't argue with Lu Mingyu about this, she nodded and replied, "Okay, I thanked the second sister-in-law on their behalf."

  Lu Mingyu's anger was almost gone, and looking at Zhao Yu's dejected and pitiful appearance, he felt a little distressed. She stretched out her hand and held Zhao Yu's hand: "Don't worry about this."

   "In the end, she doesn't want to live anymore. No one can stop someone who wants to die."

   "You are quick-talking and say a few more words. If you really want to talk about it, you should blame me for beheading the Marquis of Guangping, and blame the emperor for ordering Li Hao to send him to the army."

   Zhao Yu was startled, and she couldn't help crying and wiping her tears: "My lady, don't say that."

   "You don't have to be nervous." Lu Mingyu's eyes were bright and his voice was calm: "This is the truth. When their siblings ask questions in the future, you might as well tell the truth."

   "Li Hao plotted to assassinate, and the Marquis of Guangping rebelled. They were all heinous capital crimes. They all deserved what they deserved."

   "I have a clear conscience, and the emperor also has a clear conscience. They will grow up and resentment in the future, so let them be."

   Zhao Yu's heart tightened, and she said reflexively, "No. They are all sensible children, and they won't resent the second brother and the second sister-in-law."

Lu Mingyu said indifferently: "It doesn't matter if you are resentful or not. In fact, you are willing to take them out of the capital, and it also saves me a lot of heart. Otherwise, as an auntie, I can't do nothing. Let them move into the palace. Stay here, they won't have a good time."

   Zhao Yu whispered shamefully: "If I hadn't talked a lot, the third sister-in-law wouldn't have sought death so early. I'm sorry to their sisters and brothers, I should treat them better in the future, and the right should be atonement."

  Lu Mingyu said softly: "It's getting late, you go back! This matter, you and the fourth brother have a good discussion. If the fourth brother is not happy, don't be rude."

   Zhao Yu nodded.

   Exhausted and exhausted, Zhao Yu took a carriage back to the house.

   Their palace and the third prince’s palace where funerals are held are close at hand. Across a wall and many courtyards, it seems that mourning cries can be heard.

   Zhao Yu couldn't help but red eyes again.

Li Xian was sullen. Seeing Zhao Yu's appearance, he couldn't let it out. He sighed and put Zhao Yu in his arms and coaxed: "Don't cry. Third sister-in-law wants to kill herself, and it has nothing to do with you. .Don't push yourself too hard and take the responsibility on yourself."

   Zhao Yu fell into Li Xian's arms and cried: "I will definitely correct the problem of talking nonsense in the future."

   Li Xian sighed again, reached out and patted Zhao Yu's back.

Zhao Yu cried a lot, and said what she had said to Lu Mingyu: "...I didn't discuss it with you, I made a decision on my own, and I have already told the second sister-in-law. We will bring their sister and brother together. Go to Jindi and live with us, okay?"

  Li Xian: "..."

  My own nephew and niece, and I can still dislike the trouble!

Li Xian swallowed a sigh in his throat: "Okay. However, you have already thought about this matter. Raising children is not as simple as eating and drinking. In the future, I will take care of government affairs in the domain, and things in the back house. It's all up to you. Can you take care of the three children by yourself?"

   Zhao Yu wiped her tears with her sleeve: "Yes."

   No matter how hard or tired she is, she has to endure it silently.

   Li Xian glanced at Zhao Yu helplessly: "Okay, this is what you said. Don't make trouble with me in the future when you are troubled."

  …

   After seven days of cessation, Meng Yunluo was buried in the coffin.

   Li Zhen and Li Wei, dressed in white filial attire, knelt in front of the grave, kowtowing and burning paper for her mother.

  Li Zhen cried for a few days, her voice was hoarse and her eyes were red and swollen. Now she can't cry anymore. He knelt down in front of the grave. Li Wei picked up the yellow paper and threw it into the flame.

   Li Xian and Zhao Yu stood aside, full of sympathy.

  Pity Li Wei, I still don't understand how tragic it is that his parents died.

   Li Jue, who adopted the name of Li Changyu, knelt before the grave with Li Chen. They are all juniors, and they are coming to the funeral today.

   Liang's mother and son, who hadn't stepped out of the house for almost two years, also came.

   Liang looked at Meng Yunluo's tombstone and shed a few tears. Li Tang knelt in front of the grave, kowtowed respectfully, and then accompanied Li Wei to burn the paper.

   At this moment, three figures of different heights appeared in front of the grave.

   is the three siblings of Li Jue, Li Xuan, and Li Cong.

  The Empress was in the palace, and it was inconvenient to leave the palace, so she let three children come. Li Jue is not only the eldest son of Li Jing, but also the Prince of Wei. It is also a very respectable thing for him to come to the funeral.

   Li Jue, Li Xuan, and Li Cong knelt down together and solemnly kowtowed three times.

   Li Zhen, who had been numb all the time, finally reacted. She blushed and said in a low voice, "Thank you, cousin Xuan, and cousin Xuan."

  Li Zhen has read in the palace and is most familiar with Li Xuan. However, for more than a year, Li Zhen has been confined in the mansion, and Li Xuan has not seen her for a long time.

   As soon as we met today, Li Xuan was startled by Li Zhen's thinness and gauntness, and couldn't help but whispered, "Cousin Zhen, the pain of losing your mother is hard, take care of you."

   Li Zhen was so distressed that she couldn't squeeze a smile, and nodded silently.

  Li Jue also glanced at the thin and thin Li Zhen with pity, and said softly: "If there is anything in the future, just tell me, I will support you."

  Li Zhen burst into tears and choked: "Thank you cousin."

  Li Wei got up from the ground, looked at this, then looked at that: "Sister, who are they? I don't know why."

  Li Wei has rarely seen outsiders since he was born. In the past two years, he had been imprisoned in the palace, and he had never seen Li Jue and the others.

  Li Zhen wiped her eyes with her sleeves, took Li Wei's hand, and taught him to recognize them one by one. Li Wei obediently followed and called someone. Instead, the grief that had been so intense before had faded away.
