Chen Yuan gave General Chen a strange look: "Do I need someone else to teach me these things? I'm not a fool."

General Chen: "..."

So am I a fool?

General Chen coughed lightly, pondered for a moment, and then said with a somewhat solemn expression: "If it is true as His Highness the Ninth Prince said, Concubine Li may really have something on her mind."

"Don't worry, A Yuan. I'll go to the palace tomorrow to find out what His Majesty has to say."

Chen Yuan nodded and said: "In short, I will not marry the prince."

After saying that, he left gracefully.

General Chen shook his head, dumbfounded for a moment.

On the other side, after Chen Yuan went out, he inspected the store and checked the account books.

When I came out of a medicine shop, I saw a funeral procession passing by not far away.

Paper money fluttered down, and a few fell at Chen Yuan's feet.

Chen Yuan stood behind the crowd and listened to some people talking.

"The once glorious new top scholar ended up like this, ugh."

"When he was in high school, I saw him beating horses and paraded through the streets, which was very impressive. It's only been a few years since he became like this..."

"I heard that he spoiled his concubine and killed his wife. Is this retribution?"

"Isn't this a sign of the world? Back then, Miss Lu from the Zhongyong Hou Mansion supported him in his studies, but after marriage, he actually got together with Miss Lu's sister, married her back, and finally reconciled with Miss Lu. It’s not surprising that such a heartless person would end up like this.”

"I just pity the child. After all, the child is innocent. How old is he? How come..."

The crowd fell silent and no one said anything more.

Chen Yuan looked at the funeral procession and had a guess in her mind.

The coffin was small, and it didn't look like an adult's, but like a child's.

Chen Yuan pursed her lips, turned back to the medicine shop behind her, and asked softly: "Has the medicine for the young master of the Tang family been prepared on time?"

Lu Jiuqing had promised Tang Xiuyan that he would prepare medicinal materials for the child for several years.

The shopkeeper was obviously very impressed by this, and quickly replied: "According to the boss's instructions, each month's portion is prepared in advance, and no one is left behind."

Chen Yuan glanced at the funeral procession outside: "Then what..."

The shopkeeper looked outside and obviously knew something about the matter. He said softly to Chen Yuan: "Although the medicinal materials are ready, no one from the Tang family came to get them."

Chen Yuan was stunned and frowned: "What's going on?"

"Didn't Mr. Tang get locked up some time ago?" the shopkeeper whispered, "Since then, no one from the Tang family has come to get the medicine."

Chen Yuan: "..."

Chen Yuan pursed her lips: "How could it be? Tang Xiuyan is not here, isn't there Lu Menghua?"

That is Lu Menghua's biological child. As a mother, doesn't Lu Menghua care about the child?

The shopkeeper muttered: "We don't know much about this either."

Chen Yuan remained silent.

Although she had no favorable impression of Tang Xiuyan, the loss of a child still made her heart heavy.

As those who watched the fun said, the child is innocent.

Chen Yuan felt a little blocked. After leaving the medicine shop, she walked along the street and unknowingly arrived at the Tang Mansion.

Looking up, there was a white lantern hanging in front of the Tang Mansion, and the door was closed. It looked very depressed. There was no lively atmosphere like it once was full of bustling people.

Chen Yuan watched for a while and was about to leave when he saw the closed door suddenly opened from the inside and a group of people walked out.

The woman with the first head is dressed in a gorgeous red dress, with exquisite makeup, and her hair is full of jade beads, which is so luxurious.
