Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter

Father He looked at the body that was soaked beyond recognition and was filled with emotion for a moment. He didn't know how to describe his current mood.

He ordered the servants: "Change the wet clothes on Madam, prepare the mourning hall immediately, and notify the second young lady and the princess of the county in Liu Mansion."

Wait for the servants to leave.

He's father asked the kitchen maid, "You deliver meals to Madam every day, didn't you notice that she ran out of the yard?"

The cook replied nervously, "Madam was having a severe mad attack, and she didn't like to eat meals, but ate more snacks, so I only brought her food every few days, so I didn't notice that she had run out of the yard."

Father He did not ask any further, thinking back to the time when Chen Lerong had been clamoring to come out every day.

I guess she wanted to see the lotus flowers in the lake, and secretly hated herself for bringing Chen Lerong to the lake to see the lotus flowers earlier, so that this wouldn't have happened: "I know, you go down!"

Bai Lian stepped forward to comfort her: "Don't be too sad, no one wants this to happen."

Father He patted Bai Lian's hand and said, "Thank you for your hard work in Madam's funeral."

"I am willing to help you share the burden."

……

"What did you say? Mother drowned in the lake?" He Shuzhen looked at the servants of the He mansion with disbelief.

"Yes, the body was found floating on the lake this morning," the servant replied truthfully.

He Shuzhen felt dizzy and couldn't accept such a thing for a while: "My mother is crazy and was locked in the yard. How could she run away?"

"It was the Madam who opened the door herself and sneaked out."

He Shuzhen felt that her mother's death was not that simple: "Did Aunt Bai secretly murder her mother?"

The servant didn't dare to respond: "Second Miss, if you don't believe that Madam fell into the lake by herself, you can report it to the police."

He Shuzhen was furious and couldn't help but yell, "How come you don't know anything? Are you deliberately hiding it from me?"

The servant knelt on the ground in fear: "Every word I said is true."

"I got it. Get out of here right now." He Shuzhen shouted angrily. She went back to her room, changed into black clothes, and called Liu Chen to go back to the He Mansion.

At this time, white silk was hung in the He Mansion and a mourning hall was set up in the lobby.

He Shuzhen held the coffin and looked at Chen Lerong, whose face was disfigured by the lake water, with tears in her eyes: "If I had known that something like this would happen if I brought you back to the mansion, I would have let you stay in prison. At least you could still be alive."

Hearing this, Father He felt very uncomfortable: "Your mother's death was an accident."

He Shuzhen would not believe this, but she had no evidence to prove that her mother was murdered: "I don't want to hear these words."

He's father was very unhappy, but at this moment, he held back and said, "You are Chen Lerong's only child, you should guard the funeral hall for her."

"Of course." He Shuzhen would not let anyone else keep vigil for Chen Lerong, and glared at Bai Lian who was standing next to He's father.

Bai Lian didn't care.

……

Upon learning that Chen Lerong had drowned, He Shulan was surprised, but she quickly reacted.

She did not continue to ask: "I am not Chen Lerong's biological daughter, so I don't need to stand vigil. I will return to the He Mansion to pay my respects in a few days."

The servant stood there, hesitant to speak, wanting to persuade her that although He Shulan was not the lady's biological daughter.

But she is also her stepdaughter, so even if she doesn't stay at the mourning hall, she has to go back to the He Mansion to stay.

Thinking that He Shulan was now the Princess of the Prince's Mansion and had a noble status, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and said, "Then I will go back first."

After the servants of the He Mansion left, He Shulan was worried about Bai Lian and could not tolerate Chen Lerong who had gone crazy.

Let Chunxia go to He’s house and ask what’s going on with Bai Lian?

As human life was at stake, Chunxia did not dare to stay and went to He's house immediately.

In less than half an incense stick of time, he came back and told He Shulan what happened.

Hearing that Chen Lerong fell into the lake and drowned, He Shulan didn't know how to describe her feelings.

……

In the past few days, the He Mansion has been visited by many guests. He Shuzhen had to keep vigil and had no time to entertain the guests, so he handed the matter over to Liu Chen.

Liu Chen took this opportunity to make friends with these officials, hoping to get a position in the capital.

However, these officials, knowing that Liu Chen had been dismissed from office, said hello and no longer had much contact with him.

This made Liu Chen very angry, and he could only watch the officials coming and going.

As night fell, the He Mansion fell into silence. He Shuzhen, who had been kneeling all day, wanted to take a break and asked Liu Chen to kneel for him.

Liu Chen refused: "It's not my mother who died, I don't want to kneel."

"You..." He Shuzhen's face turned red with anger, but she was helpless and could only watch Liu Chen go to the next room to sleep.

She continued to kneel in the mourning hall.

On the day of the funeral, He Shulan and the Prince came to the He Mansion to pay their respects.

He Shuzhen loudly questioned He Shulan: "Why did you come back only today?"

"Chen Lerong is not my biological mother, so there is no need for me to go back to the He Mansion to guard her. Moreover, I am the Princess of a County Prince, and my status is noble, so it is even more impossible for me to guard Chen Lerong's body."

He Shuzhen was filled with rage, but she didn't dare to express it because He Shulan was right.

When the time came, the servants came in, lifted the coffin and walked out of the house.

He Shulan and the prince returned to the mansion. It was already dark and they were preparing to go back to the yard to rest.

The servant called him, "Prince, Princess, the imperial physician in the palace has been waiting in the mansion for a long time."

The prince frowned. The imperial physician coming to see him at this time must be no good news, but he had to go.

Just walked into the living room.

The imperial physician stood up and walked to the prince: "The people who were cured before have started to get sick again one after another. I came to discuss this matter with you on purpose."

The prince's expression became serious: "What's going on? It's already been cured, why does it relapse again?"

"I don't know either. There aren't many people suffering from relapses right now, so I came to ask you what to do."

After hearing what the imperial physician said, the prince was silent for a while: "Since there aren't many people suffering from relapses, let's arrange for them to be treated in the pharmacy in the capital."

"Okay." The imperial physician received the reply and immediately went to make arrangements.

The prince can no longer rest now, he must go to the scene to command.

"I will go with you."

The prince turned his head and glanced at He Shulan: "There are not many sick patients this time, and there are enough manpower, so we don't need your help. You should have a good rest in the mansion."

"I'd better go with you. Maybe you need my help." Seeing that the prince was still hesitant, He Shulan continued, "I have been taking care of patients in the temple for so many days. I have more experience."

The prince did not refuse: "Okay, you come with me."

People were asked to get on carriages and come to the pharmacy. More and more patients were sent here.

The prince began to make arrangements.

He Shulan followed the medicine boy to take care of these patients.
