Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

It was a dark and windy night with no one around. A dark shadow quietly jumped into the woodshed where Liu Yujing was imprisoned.

"Aunt Liu," he said.

Liu Yujing, who was half asleep and half awake, immediately had tears in her eyes when she saw the person coming.

"You are finally here! I have been doing everything according to your instructions. Now that the truth has been revealed, you must not ignore me!"

"This matter involves a lot of things. Even if I want to help you, it's difficult for me to intervene. You have always been a person who considers the overall situation. I believe you know what to do this time, right?"

Liu Yujing was so frightened by the heartless words of the man in black that her legs went weak and she fell into the haystack.

"You...what do you mean?"

"If you die, no one will investigate this matter anymore, and everything will be settled. Isn't that great?"

"You are such a heartless person! How can you be so ruthless! You want me to take the blame for you? I'm telling you, it's impossible! I..."

Before she could finish her harsh words, the man in black stuffed a rag into Liu Yujing's mouth.

"After all these years, you know best what kind of person I am. You'd better be sensible, so that you can die more easily when the time comes."

Liu Yujing whimpered twice, and seeing that the man in black had no mercy on her, she gave up struggling. She looked at the man in front of her steadily, her eyes full of despair and resentment.

"Don't look at me like that."

Seeing this, the man in black loosened his grip on Liu Yujing and gently covered her eyes.

"Go with peace of mind. I promise you that as long as you are obedient, I will make sure everything goes well for your daughter. I will protect her both in-laws and in the future."

With tears in her eyes, Liu Yujing trembled and laughed a few times with her head raised, as if everything in the past had become a joke. In addition to sarcasm, that sharp laughter also carried a bit of unknown sadness.

"Okay, it's fair to exchange my life for Mian'er's bright future. I hope you can... keep your word."

……

Liu Yujing died in the woodshed, with a few bloody words on the ground:

The sin is serious, and this is the only way to redeem myself.

The news that the Seventh Young Miss had forced Second House concubine Liu to death spread like wildfire, reaching the entire Duke's Mansion by the next morning.

After Chen learned about this, she severely scolded a group of gossipy maids and old women, ordered everyone in the mansion not to discuss the matter anymore, and then busied herself dealing with a variety of matters, and then fell ill.

As it was the day when the first wife Xu Wanfeng was getting married, Liu Yujing's going was more or less unlucky.

Xu Wanfeng has always been a difficult person to get along with, and because of this matter there is bound to be another commotion.

All she said was that Xu Xingyin couldn't stand seeing her doing well, so Xu Xiuzhu took this opportunity to put Xu Xingyin under house arrest.

Since he couldn't go out, he just went out. Xu Xingyin went into Chen's yard to take care of her and told her the whole story.

Chen didn't seem to care about the matter of life and death. He was stunned for a moment holding the medicine bowl, and suddenly said something out of the blue.

"I think the Shen family's kid is pretty good. Madam Shen is also interested. Why don't we decide on him right away?"

Xu Xingyin was shocked by Chen's unconventional thinking, "Mother, what are you talking about!"

Chen lowered her eyes, and there was no trace of her former spirit on her bloodless face.

She was like a monk who had seen through the mundane world. Her eyes showed neither sadness nor joy, but were filled with endless compassion.

"Your father's illegitimate son Xu Chaoming passed the imperial examination a few years ago, but his ranking was not high, so he has been waiting for a vacancy in the Ministry of Personnel. These days, your father has been running around for him and using many connections to find him a position. It's not a high position, but if he is willing to work hard, I think he will have a promising future."

"Now that the Zhennan General's Mansion has collapsed, your father has no scruples anymore. He even thought of using his status as a concubine to suppress me. Today, Chao Ge's petition to be crowned as the Crown Prince was suppressed by your father again. At this critical moment, he ignored the rules set by our ancestors and stopped the petition! It's clear that he wants to help that illegitimate child take the throne!"

"It's just the position of a prince. I'm not someone who covets these things. But he wants to take what my son deserves to give to others. I will never agree to this! If I back down from this step, how can you two brothers and sisters have a good life in the mansion in the future?"

"Your father has never liked you. Now that Aunt Liu's death has caused a lot of uproar, he must be harboring resentment in his heart. You are a girl, and I have my protection in other aspects, so he can't control you. The only thing he can do is your marriage. But now I have to take care of your brother and take care of this matter at the same time, so I can't avoid being too busy. So Jiaojiao, this matter can't be delayed."

Xu Xingyin naturally understood what Chen said, but when he thought about the marriage, he still felt a little resentful, so he pouted and stammered.

"Mom, I don't think this is urgent."

"How can I not be anxious!"

Chen's tone was very excited. She sat up straight with a thud and coughed violently for a while because she was out of breath. Xu Xingyin was so scared that he patted her back to help her calm down. It took her a while to calm down.

I don’t know if it was because I coughed too violently just now, but there was a thin layer of mist in Chen’s eyes.

"Mother, of course, doesn't want to keep you for a while longer! But my health is getting worse and better now, and I can't always look after you and your siblings. As long as mother is still alive, I will not let you and your siblings suffer even if I risk my life. But what if I am gone..."

"Bah bah bah!"

Xu Xingyin didn't understand what she was saying and immediately interrupted Chen, "Mother, please don't say such unlucky things!"

"Look, you are even more superstitious than me at such a young age."

Chen smiled in a reproachful manner, then sighed and said seriously: "It might be a good thing to leave the Duke's Mansion early, out of sight and out of mind. If the child of the Shen family is useful, who will make things difficult for you in the future? As long as you live well, it doesn't matter where you are."

"Mother……"

"My children, I have to pave the way for you, so that I can feel at ease."

"..."

Seeing the tears in Chen's eyes, Xu Xingyin finally did not refuse. This was a reflection of her mother's love for them, as well as her helplessness towards the current situation.

Whatever, you have to get married, right?

October is a good time to get married.

Xu Wanfeng got married on this day. As Chen was unwell, the matter was taken care of by Yang from the first wife.

The eldest wife had enough money, and the house was furnished in a grand manner, but being too wealthy was not in keeping with their status, so Chen made all the adjustments inside and out, which satisfied Old Madam Xu.

This day was probably a really good day, as there were many weddings taking place in the capital, and even the main streets were bustling with red.

Apart from Xu Wanfeng, the most grand wedding team was Yang Mingxue's. It was said that they spent a hundred taels of silver alone, which made a bunch of girls jealous.
