Gu Qingzhou got into the car and asked the adjutant to go to the racetrack on the outskirts of the city.

Si Xingpei's plane was parked there.

When Si Xingpei went to Hebei this time, he drove a truck, and the plane was still in Taiyuan.

Gu Qingzhou said to the adjutant: "After taking me on the plane, you immediately go to Hebei to find a teacher and tell him that his wife has passed away and let him go back to Yuecheng."

The adjutant was surprised and repeated the question: "Mrs. passed away?"

Gu Qingzhou didn't know the details.

The telegram she received was still sent from the headquarters in Nanjing. It is estimated that the commander-in-chief received the news and sent them back while sending them back. The matter is certain.

How he died, it is not clear in the small telegram.

"Madam, do you want to go to Hebei to find the division seat first?" The adjutant reminded Gu Qingzhou, "This subordinate knows the position of the division seat, and you can stop the plane if you find an open space temporarily."

Gu Qingzhou was confused.

She was so worried because she didn't know the nature of the matter.

As soon as she heard that Mrs. Si was dead, she first thought about whether her husband was suspected of being a suspect, and then thought about what to do with the military governor.

Two things agitated in her heart, and she lost her sense.

"Then go to Hebei first." Gu Qingzhou said.

The plane arrived at a major town in Hebei a few hours later and found Si Xingpei.

Si Xingpei was in the headquarters of a small army head at that time.

He was also deeply surprised by the news of Mrs. Si's death.

He spent half an hour first handing over his official duties to his trusted subordinates and Ye Dujun's personal guard, and then hurriedly boarded the plane with Gu Qingzhou.

After sitting firmly, Gu Qingzhou asked him, "Is there any news before?"

"I promised to let her go, and I won't leave anyone to monitor her." Si Xingpei said, "I'm also quite surprised."

Gu Qingzhou said: "Overseer let us go back to the funeral..."

Si Xingpei said: "It's okay, even if she died strangely, it has nothing to do with us. Now she only has Qiongzhi, what kind of big trouble can Qiongzhi make?"

Si Xingpei was indifferent to Mrs. Si's death and could hardly be gratified.

Gu Qingzhou was restless.

Seeing her shrinking neck, Si Xingpei couldn't help but say, "What are you worried about?"

"I'm worried about the Overseer." Gu Qingzhou said, "What the Overseer suffered is really like the sky has collapsed."

Si Xingpei patted her head: "The Overseer is a soldier. He is used to seeing life and death, and he already has these plans to part with life and death. He can survive."

After all, he hugged her tightly.

He was very busy these days and was contacting some small army leaders. He didn't even take a shower when he was running around. The uniform was dirty and messy, so he let go of Gu Qingzhou.

There was also his military uniform on the plane.

He found a brand new set and went to the side to replace it.

In the afternoon of the golden sunshine, the plane landed in Yuecheng.

The racetrack belonged to Si Xingpei and was waiting for him.

Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei got off the plane, and the car was ready at the racetrack.

Si Xingpei drove the car, and the car all the way back to the Overseer's Mansion.

The Overseer's Mansion has not yet been mourned, because his wife is still in the hospital and has not been brought back, nor has he been buried. The Overseer and Si Qiongzhi are both in the hospital.

The family is the head of the fifth concubine.

Seeing Si Xingpei, the fifth concubine's expression changed slightly. After a long while, she spoke, and her eyes were slightly red: "The young marshal is back?"

"What's the matter?" Si Xingpei asked her.

The fifth concubine was about to explain that Mrs. Si's body had been brought back.

Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei hurried out and stood on the steps.

The adjutant lifted the stretcher and carried Madam Si's body into the lobby.

The reason why I have waited until now is not because of others, but because Qiongzhi went to a hospital in Guangzhou for an internship and inspection for two months a few days ago.

When I received the notice, I had to wait for Si Qiongzhi to come back, so I waited until now.

"Abba." Gu Qingzhou stepped forward and whispered.

The commander-in-chief nodded, his footsteps slightly faltered, very haggard.

Si Qiongzhi's eyes were red and swollen from crying.

Gu Qingzhou and Si Xingpei came back, Si Qiongzhi also arrived, and Mrs. Si's body was taken back.

The coffin was prepared at home, so someone sorted out Mrs. Si's remains.

Gu Qingzhou watched her burial with his own eyes.

When she was put into the coffin, everyone looked up to her, and her cleaned face was calm and kind.

When she was alive, Gu Qingzhou had never seen such a kind demeanor of her, and her heart was inexplicable, and her eyes were hot.

Si Qiongzhi cried very hard, and the fifth concubine hugged her tightly.

The lid of the coffin was closed and the mourning officially began. It was already dusk.

Gu Qingzhou and Si Qiongzhi wore burlap and filial piety, and burned paper in front of the spirit, while Si Xingpei went out to report the funeral.

The commander-in-chief sat next to him.

Si Qiongzhi kept crying.

Gu Qingzhou burned for a moment, then walked to the commander's side: "Abba, your condolences."

I just went to report the funeral, and there are no mourners at the moment. The mourning hall is all the aide-de-camps and concubines of the Si family.

The commander-in-chief sat there silently, his back seemed to be unable to straighten.

Gu Qingzhou's heart is sour.

Hearing Gu Qingzhou's words, he just nodded again and didn't speak.

He didn't dare to speak, for fear that the cry would pour out and he couldn't control it.

"Father, what's wrong with Madam?" Gu Qingzhou asked again.

The commander-in-chief waved his hand.

He didn't want to answer.

Gu Qingzhou couldn't ask any more questions, and still knelt before the spirit.

"Sick." Si Qiongzhi, who was sobbing beside him, spoke up and answered Gu Qingzhou's question.

She has no anger and resentment, only endless sadness.

While crying, she said: "After returning to Yuecheng, Mu's mother fell ill every day, and after that, she vomited blood and was admitted to the hospital.

She couldn't eat, so she relied on infusions to support her, and her spirits went bad for a while. She was reluctant to let her go to Nanjing, saying she didn't want to see her father.

The doctor was very worried about her, and I was very worried about her, but I didn't expect it so soon. "

Having said this, Si Qiongzhi burst into tears.

Gu Qingzhou didn't expect that she was willing to say these words to herself, let alone that she would not pull and blame Mrs. Si's death on herself.

Although Si Qiongzhi had changed a lot the last time they met. But she was so clear, Gu Qingzhou was still surprised.

For a while, she didn't know whether to comfort Si Qiongzhi.

After Si Qiongzhi cried, he wiped away his tears and continued to burn the paper.

"Qiongzhi, your condolences too..." Gu Qingzhou comforted her, although his tone was thin.

Si Qiongzhi hummed from his throat and continued to burn the paper.

When Si Xingpei came back after nine o'clock in the evening, relatives and friends already knew about Mrs. Si's death.

Relatives from other places sent adjutants to inform them.

Si Qiongzhi was already supported by the servant, and went down to drink some water.

A servant took over for Si Qiongzhi.

Si Xingpei put on a stick of incense, and then pulled Gu Qingzhou and said, "I've been kneeling for a long time, let's go eat something."

The commander-in-chief was still sitting, and Si Xingpei asked him, "commander, would you like something to eat? The mourning hall will be temporarily taken care of by the adjutants."

The commander-in-chief said: "You all go, I will wake up the lady tonight."

Gu Qingzhou wanted to say something, but Si Xingpei had already grabbed her arm and dragged her out.

She had been kneeling for a long time, her knees were sore and it was inconvenient to walk, so Si Xingpei slowed down and said, "You don't have to be so filial, just look at it."

His words were unpleasant.

Gu Qingzhou thought about it, he was already at the limit of being able to take a stick of incense, so he didn't say anything more.

"Si Xingpei, what should I do?" Gu Qingzhou said.

"What are you going to do?" Si Xingpei didn't understand this.
