I accidentally became the Eighth Lady in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 118 Digging Graves

The fourth brother looked at the village chief and the group of villagers worriedly. He didn't know what they were discussing. He didn't go close to listen, but ordered his men to find some tools. He knew that the grave had to be dug today. With the stubbornness of the eighth brother, he knew that when the eighth brother returned to the capital, there would be another bloody storm in the capital!

Coming to this village twice, each time he had a different experience. Looking at the new grave, the fourth child also had a rare grudge against his father. The fourth child thought that the eighth child was willing to give up everything, so why couldn't he agree? The fourth child was still young, and had not experienced the nine sons' struggle for the throne, nor had he sat on the supreme position. He was not as cold-blooded as he was in the later period. The fourth child now was just a brother who loved his younger brother!

Soon, Lao Si's men and the villagers came with tools in their hands. Lao Si saw this and hurried forward to help Lao Ba up. Lao Ba refused and pushed Lao Si away, almost causing Lao Si to fall! Fortunately, Lao Jiu helped Lao Si in time, otherwise, he would have fallen and no one knew what would have happened!

The fourth brother: "The eighth brother, you misunderstood. I didn't mean to stop you. I just wanted to remind you to use tools. It's faster to dig with tools!"

The words of Lao Si comforted Lao Ba's nerves that were about to collapse. Lao Ba said nothing, looked around, and then snatched the tools from a villager and started digging. The villager who was robbed looked at Lao Ba in confusion at first, but when he reacted, he immediately became ferocious. These were the few tools in his family. If they were broken, how would he work in the future? But before he could get angry, the village chief stopped him. The villager looked at the village chief and shook his head in disapproval. The villager could only squat aside angrily, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became, but he had no choice but to squat aside and watch!

There is strength in numbers. They soon saw the coffin. With their efforts, they quickly cleaned up the dirt on the coffin. Lao Ba stood next to the coffin, hesitated for a moment, put his hand on the coffin, and did not push the coffin open immediately. Lao Jiu and the others were watching from the side. They knew that Lao Ba was afraid to see what was inside the coffin. It was really Yunyan!

But even if he hesitated, how long could he hesitate? Lao Ba still pushed hard and directly overturned the coffin lid. Looking at the charred corpse in the coffin, Lao Ba blinked sadly and reached out to pick up the jade pendant worn on the corpse!

The fourth, ninth and tenth princes were all shocked when they saw the jade pendant. They didn't even need to look at the words on the back to know that the jade pendant belonged to the eighth prince, because they also had one. Each of these princes had one, and each piece of jade was the same. Their jade pendants were all cut from a single piece of jade, but with different words on them, because the words on them were engraved with their respective names, which were given to them by their royal father on the day they were named!

Lao Jiu's eyes also turned red, thinking back to the first time they met, although he thought Yun Yan was annoying, he never thought of taking Yun Yan's life! Not to mention Lao Jiu, even Lao Si and Lao Shi felt a little sad!

Laojiu: "Myna...!"

When Lao Ba heard Lao Jiu's shout, he came back to his senses. His blurred vision made it difficult for him to see the jade pendant in his hand, but by rubbing it with his hands, he could clearly tell what it looked like. Because before it was given away, he often played with it! Even with his eyes closed, he knew what it looked like!

Lao Ba really saw through himself, this damn memory. If this jade pendant was fake, he would be able to deceive himself and observe that the person inside was not Yunyan. When he thought of this, Lao Ba's chest began to hurt more and more. Even though Lao Ba tried his best to endure it, he couldn't hold back the sweetness in his throat!

Lao Ba immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, directly into the coffin, and the jade pendant on Lao Ba's hand was also stained with some blood! If it were in the past, he would have wiped it clean in time, but he couldn't take care of much now. Lao Ba just clenched the jade pendant tightly, propped one hand on the coffin, and kept coughing!

When Laojiu and the others saw Laoba vomiting blood, they immediately became panicked. Seeing him coughing non-stop, they hurriedly patted Laoba's back. While patting, they said worriedly: "Ba Ge..., Ba Ge, are you okay? Ba Ge, maybe we misunderstood you, maybe this is not Miss Yunyan? Yes..., we guessed wrong, we guessed wrong, Ba Ge...!"

But the comfort from Lao Jiu was of no use to comfort Lao Ba. Lao Ba kept coughing up blood, which made Lao Si's icy face full of cracks. He anxiously tried to drag Lao Ba up, but Lao Ba was unwilling to go up and held on to the coffin tightly!

The fourth brother looked at the blood coming out of the eighth brother's mouth, and felt as if he was going to spit out all the blood in his body. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood when he saw him clinging to the coffin. But now that things have come to this, no matter how angry he is, he has to clean up this mess!

The fourth brother tried to pry his hands apart while angrily saying, "Eighth brother... you dug this grave, what else do you want to do? Look at the horrible state you are in now, let go!"

The Ninth and Tenth Brothers both felt sorry for their starling, but they couldn't pry open the bird's hands. This was the first time they felt so useless. They had already felt useless when their starling disappeared. Now, looking at their starling's crazy appearance, that deep feeling of powerlessness once again surged in their hearts!

Not only Lao Ba, but even the villagers who were surrounding them were complaining about the commotion here, because digging graves was originally an extremely unlucky thing, and now Lao Ba was vomiting blood and was being watched. In their opinion, this time it was even more unlucky. They wanted to step forward, but when they saw those ferocious-looking men drawing their swords and blocking them in front of them, they only dared to complain in front of the village chief.

The village chief looked at the situation, and he had no choice! If he had a way, he would not let Lao Ba dig the grave. Digging graves is an extremely immoral thing. Not only does digging graves damage the Yin virtue, but it is also extremely disadvantageous to the owner of the burial place, and it is easy to break the feng shui of this place! The village chief could only appease the villagers. It was unclear whether the village chief's words were to appease the villagers or himself. In short, it gradually became quiet!
