Chapter 431: Night before the ceremony 1

Just when I was feeling the mood, a servant suddenly came to report that someone asked for a meeting.

I was also a little surprised to see who came to ask for a meeting at night, so I quickly tidied up my clothes and followed the servants to the hall.

In the hall, there was a man waiting anxiously. When he saw me coming out, he had already come up and whispered respectfully, "Head of the Family!"

Those who call me the head of the family are basically from the Deng family.

I couldn't help but look at him carefully. He was wearing ordinary clothes, but he looked dusty and tired. It seemed that he had been here after a long journey.

This made me feel nervous and I had a bad premonition, so I asked quickly, "What happened!"

The servant didn't say much nonsense and hurriedly said, "My master is critically ill!"

"What?"

I suddenly felt like I was struck by lightning and stood in the hall. After a while, I quickly grabbed his collar and asked anxiously: "What did you say, say it again!"

Because he was a little shorter than me, he couldn't help but stand on tiptoe, and a look of pain appeared on his face, but he still said, "My master is critically ill, the old lady wants you to go back quickly!"

I heard it thoroughly this time. What he said was indeed that the old man was critically ill.

I couldn't help but feel nervous. Although mine is not the real Deng Long, I have completely integrated Deng Long's role in my heart over the years and regard the old man as my own father. Now I heard that he is critically ill, how can I not be anxious? This anxiety has become a mess, so I put down the servant and said to the servant next to me: "Immediately ask someone to notify the wife and the young masters, and we will go back to Shangling immediately."

By the way, I now have a son and three daughters.

Hearing the noise outside, Feixue and the girls also walked out of the house with their clothes. When they heard me hurriedly saying that they were going to Shangling, they suddenly felt something was wrong. They immediately surrounded him, and Feixue asked, "What happened!"

"My father is critically ill!"

I quickly said, "We want to rush back immediately!"

After saying that, he planned to go back to the house to get things.

"etc……!"

Zhou Wu, who was beside him, immediately spoke and stopped him, "You can't leave yet!"

"Why?"

I stopped, looked back at Zhou Hua and said, "My father is seriously ill now. I can't go, can I stay here?"

"Don't forget what day tomorrow is!"

Zhou Ma reminded me, "Tomorrow will be the completion ceremony of the temple!"

I immediately remembered that after five years of construction, the temple has been fully completed and can be put into use immediately, and a grand completion ceremony will be held tomorrow.

However, the matter of the old man's critical illness is now greater than anything else, so I waved my hand patiently and said, "I can't care about so much now. The old man is critically ill. I have to go back, otherwise it will be too late!"

Zhou Ma still said unyieldingly, "But you didn't think about the consequences? The temple is a big project, and tomorrow's completion ceremony is also very important. Now, the Great Zhou, Dayue and other important figures and envoys from other countries have arrived in the city and are waiting to attend tomorrow's ceremony. Now, as the master, if you leave, wouldn't you give face to both countries?"

"Face, face..."

I shouted, "I don't care about face. I just want to go back to Ling now! Go back to Ling, do you understand?"

Everyone around me was stunned. At home, I had never had such a big anger. I didn't even say heavier words. Now I suddenly became a different person, which made them stunned.

After reacting, Zhou Huan's two lines of tears flowed out of his eyes, and then cried: "Do you think I don't understand your feelings? I am your wife, he is also my father, but the matter must be divided into severity and urgency! You are going to go, but you have to give the two countries so many envoys to Liang? What should you do if the third brother and the others do?"

"When the emperor and grandmother were critically ill, I asked you to go back with me, but you were busy and couldn't get rid of it. I only had one person to go back. Do you know that one of her biggest regrets was that she didn't see you before she died. But I complained that nothing happened? I understand the severity of the matter, but you, a woman, don't you understand you, a big man?"

After saying that, he started crying.

Feixue hurriedly went over to hug her, letting her shoulders lean on her shoulders, and gently patted her back, comforting: "Don't cry, don't cry! She is so old, she is still like a child, and she will make jokes when others see it!"

However, Zhou Hua did not stop crying.

Feixue looked at me helplessly and said, "Actually, what the madam said is right. There are many envoys tomorrow, and His Majesty Xiao even attended in person. If you, the master, are no longer there, it would be unreasonable! Let's do this, we sisters set off overnight and return to Shangling. You will be chasing after the ceremony. The carriage is slow, and it is easy to catch up in a day!"

After hearing this, I turned my head and looked at the others, and they all nodded in agreement.

Actually, I feel very guilty about being angry with Zhou Ma just now. I understand that Zhou Ma has good intentions, but when I hear the old man is sick, my heart suddenly loses its limit and becomes confused. When Zhou Ma says, I can't control myself. Now, after hearing Feixue say this, I know that this is the best way in front of me, so I nodded.

After obtaining permission, someone immediately went to install a carriage and arranged personnel to protect it in Langya's military camp, which was necessary. Feixue helped Zhou Hua into the house, while Jing'er and others began to pack up their clothes and prepare to set off.

I am now empty in the entire hall, and my head is now in a mess. On the one hand, the old man's illness made me feel uneasy. On the other hand, the completion ceremony tomorrow, the number of people coming will definitely set a record high, and the number of heavyweights is definitely one of the best in recent years. Another is the attitude towards Zhou Wu just now.

After a while of trouble, I was better off looking for Zhou Ma, so I came to Zhou Ma's door. I was about to knock on the door, but I saw Feixue coming out of another room, so my outstretched hand also shrank back

Feixue smiled softly and said, "It's just knocking, it's all old husband and wife. I'll still laugh at you. My sister was very sad just now, so you have to comfort her!"

"I think so!"

I said lightly, I was caught by Feixue, and I couldn't bear the face.

"You!"

Feixue shook her head and said, "You should take care of yourself. I don't care about you. My sisters are waiting below. I want to go down!"

I took the luggage from Feixue's hand and said, "I'll give it to you!"

She smiled slightly, then nodded.

When they arrived outside the door, Jing'er and the others had been waiting for them. The maids and servants helped them carry their luggage, while the little guys were being held by other maids. Outside the door, where was the carriage waiting.

After careful instructions many times, I reluctantly sent them to the carriage and slowly disappeared into the darkness as the coachman was skillful driving.

I didn't take my hand back until I couldn't see them. As soon as I turned around, I saw Zhou Wu standing behind me.

"My son!"

I said a little strange.

Zhou Ma, who had just cried, had a slightly red eyes and said angrily, "What are you looking at? I'm here to give it to my sisters!"

I touched my nose with a little embarrassed and said, "I'm still angry?"

"What am I angry?"

Zhou Ma said angrily, "I can't make it angry with you!"

"Yes, yes!" I quickly agreed, "I won't be angry!"

As she said that, she went over and held her hand. She made a profit, but she didn't.

I whispered, "It was all mine just now, don't be angry, okay?"

When I was like this, her eyes turned red and she choked up, "Why am I not angry? You have never been so fierce than me, and you are in front of your sister!"

I quickly explained, "Aren't I so angry that I'm confused? You happened to be talking again at that time, just..."

"You mean I asked myself?"

Zhou Wu raised his head and looked at me, tears swirling in his eyes.

"Okay, OK!"

I hugged her and said, "It's all my fault, it's me! You have to attend the ceremony tomorrow. There are so many people watching it. It's not good if your eyes are swollen. You will be present in this city tomorrow."

"I don't care. If my eyes are swollen, I'll say I've been bullied by you. Please ask the Prime Minister and the Emperor to make the decision!"

Zhou Wu didn't speak well, but his tone was obviously relaxed.

I smiled and said, "The so-called honest officials can't make a decision on family matters! It's hard for us young couple to quarrel, your emperor brother is not easy to interfere, right?"

Zhou Hua pinched me gently, and then said with concern: "Do you think my father is seriously ill?"

I have no clue about this. This old man is old and once he gets sick, his life will be in danger. Although I hope he has nothing to do, the shadow in his heart will never go away. So I shook my head and said, "I don't know either, but I hope the guitarist will have God's blessing. Nothing should be done!"

Then I patted her shoulder gently and said, "Okay, it's late, let's take a break soon! I plan to go to the temple to see it."

Zhou Mu's face changed and he said, "I'm still going now?"

I nodded and said, "I feel very confused, and the construction ceremony will start tomorrow. I feel a little worried, so I plan to go and take a look!"

"I'll go with you!"

Zhou Hua pulled my arm and said anxiously.

I shook my head and said, "You should rest early and attend the ceremony tomorrow. Look, His Majesty Xiao's concubines are all here, and you may lose to them tomorrow!"

Although the words I followed were jokes, she still nodded.
Chapter completed!
