Traveling through life as a widow: six sons to support her in her old age

Chapter 262 The Tomb Robbers Are Coming

"Brother, is this old country woman worth all the trouble?"

"Humph, didn't you hear that she was kind to the princess and her husband? These two are grateful people. What do you think of what they did to bury this old woman in the Yu family's ancestral tomb?"

"Are we really going to rob the tomb? There must be someone guarding it. Brother, I haven't lived long enough. That's the eldest princess. If we are discovered, we will be dead."

"Money can move people's hearts, but what's there to be afraid of a dead person?"

"Brother, I'm afraid of the eldest princess."

"The princess won't be back at night. Let's take action while they are back."

"If they track us down, we will be easily exposed."

"You are stupid. You don't know how to find a scapegoat. Just give each family twenty taels."

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that, brother, you are so smart."

The leader was full of confidence, "Let's take action tonight."

"Why not wait two days?"

“Today’s burials are all newly dug out, and nothing has changed since we went through them tonight.

If you wait two days, the new soil will become the old soil, and the color inconsistency will be too obvious. "

"Didn't you say you weren't afraid of getting caught?"

The leading man slapped him and said, "Use your brain. Although you can be a scapegoat, it's better not to get caught. You are such a spendthrift and don't know how to save money at all.

Do you know how hard it is for us to make money? How can I take care of you if you act silly all day long? "

"Brother, I'm just reminding you kindly. Don't be angry. I was wrong, okay?"

"Humph."

Lan Qiyan, who was watching the coffin being buried in the ground, suddenly looked back.

Yu Zian asked worriedly, "What happened to Yan'er?"

"I always feel uneasy. After all, I have offended too many people. Will someone rob my tomb?"

"Didn't you make a lot of anti-theft devices?"

"We did it, it was just a precaution, but we hope it won't happen again."

"Then how about I send someone to guard it?"

"No, I'll be on guard tonight."

"But can you keep watching?"

"Yes, I want to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, so I must catch this chicken."

"Mom, I'll accompany you." Yu Ze stepped forward and said.

"No, go home to see your wife. She is pregnant and it is not convenient for her."

"Mom, I'll stay." Yu Xiu said.

"I'll stay too, everyone else go back." Yu Qi said.

Lan Qiyan nodded and said, "Alright, let the second and fourth brothers stay, and everyone else go back."

"Yan'er, I'll go get ready."

Lan Qiyan held him back and said, "You go back too. Don't let anyone know that I stayed here."

Yu Zian thought about it for a moment, then nodded, "I understand."

The entire burial process took two hours, and Lan Qiyan's legs were numb from kneeling.

Afterwards, Yu Zian led his men back in a mighty procession, and from time to time he looked into the carriage behind him.

Lan Qiyan was sitting at Old Lady Yu's grave holding a glass of rice wine, "Mom, I don't even want to say anything to you. Your twisted personality is not very pleasing to us, and you like to endure hardships.

You said that even though they crawled out of your belly, they inherited Yu Laishui's vicious genes and have no respect or filial piety towards you.

But you still can't let them go. Look at me, my status now is second only to those two guys in the palace.

If you follow me, you will be respected as an old lady. It would be great if you can walk your birds, fight your dogs, and take care of your great-grandchildren when you have nothing to do.

Your children and grandchildren have their own blessings. If your children and grandchildren are unfilial, you will enjoy the blessings, but what about you?

He has risked his life, so why doesn't he go and apologize to Yu Ziqing?

I can save his life, but how he survives has nothing to do with me.

Mother, I have a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment. I am sincere to my benefactors and kill my enemies with a single blow. Sigh, these are all from my heart. I regret it so much. Do you think it would have been better if I had tied you up and brought you to the capital at that time?"

"Mom, even if you tie me up, I won't be happy and will run back in the end."

"Second brother, do you think mother was wrong? If mother had given them money and made them local gentry with a large number of maids and servants, would your grandmother not have died?"

Yu Xiu looked at the man beside him and kicked him, "Old Four, I'm not smart enough, you answer it."

Yu Qi's face was still covered with tears, and her eyes were empty. "Mom, don't you know what kind of people they are? If they have money, the people around them will be in trouble.

The mother did nothing wrong, and the grandmother's love for the child was also right. There is no right or wrong in this world. Everyone has different positions and perspectives. You don't have to be sad about it."

Lan Qiyan opened the cup and placed the rice wine on the grave. "Mom, this is newly made by me. Please try it. I was waiting for you to praise me when you come back, but it's not too late now. Please try it."

Then she stood up. At this moment, a gust of wind blew from somewhere, lifting the hair around her ears, as if Old Lady Yu was caressing her.

Lan Qiyan's eyes became hot and he almost couldn't hold back anymore.

It turns out that losing a loved one is not just a momentary pain, but a dampness for the rest of your life.

"Mom, are you going to cry again? My dad said that if he sees your eyes are swollen tomorrow, I will be beaten." Yu Xiu quickly took out a pink handkerchief.

Lan Qiyan grabbed the handkerchief and asked, "Where did you get this?"

Yu Xiu was confused, "This was given to me by my father. He said it was specially used to wipe your tears."

Lan Qiyan took the handkerchief and smelled it, "It smells quite good."

"It's just too fragrant. It makes my clothes smell fragrant. People who don't know would think I'm putting on perfume powder." Yu Xiu said nonchalantly.

"It seems that mother has never used a handkerchief. When she was in Yushi Village, she used tree leaves." Yu Qi added.

Lan Qiyan glared at him and said, "You don't have to explain it so clearly. I'll leave this matter to you. Find out. I'm in a bad mood right now."

"Don't worry, mother. If he has any problems, I will kill him for the sake of justice."

"You don't have to kill him. Just make him leave the house. If you kill him, your grandmother will be sad."

Yu Qi sighed, "I know, don't think too much, Mom, maybe it's a misunderstanding."

"It doesn't matter. I'm not a good person either. If he can find it, I can find it too."

Yu Xiu snorted angrily, and the tall and majestic image of his father collapsed in his heart.

The mother and her two children chatted for a long time until it got dark, and then the three of them hid themselves.

After a while, a burst of hurried footsteps came closer and closer.

Lan Qiyan took a closer look. Is this the tomb robber?

Why do I feel like a fool going out?

Why are you walking on tiptoe? Is the ground hot?

"Mom, they're not professionals."

"You can also see that their temperament is not right, right?"

"Tools, mother, please look carefully, the tools are wrong."

"I can't see it, a long stick?"

"Shovel, mother, they are holding shovels." Yu Xiu explained in her ear.

Lan Qiyan touched his chin and said, "It seems that he saw the burial objects during the day and became greedy for money."

"almost."

"That's easy, I'll just blast them for you."
