The next morning, the people in Pingyang Marquis' Mansion were still in grief, so Zhou Minglang came to Pingyang Marquis' Mansion with the imperial edict.

The Marquis' Mansion, which was already in a state of chaos due to the disappearance of its male owner, became panic-stricken again.

Shen Rong didn't expect that her son would inherit the title like this.

The imperial edict had been issued. Shen Rong had originally wanted to hide the news of Changsheng from grandparents for a while, but now she could no longer hide it. After receiving the imperial edict, she took the child back to the Shen family.

After Grandpa Six and Grandma Six learned that Changsheng was missing, the two old people were so sad that they almost died. It was only because the two young ones stayed with them that the two old people felt a little better.

"Sanniang, what are you going to do? Changsheng's funeral..." Sixth Grandma reluctantly brought up this topic that no one wanted to talk about.

When Changsheng disappeared under such circumstances, everyone knew that there was a high probability that he would not come back, so it was normal to hold a funeral.

But Shen Rong was unwilling to do so. "Changsheng is just missing, he is not dead, I won't hold a funeral..."

Sixth Grandpa disagreed, "Falling from such a high place, how could that person have a chance of survival? Besides, there are many wild animals in the mountains, I'm afraid..."

Sixth Grandma agreed with her expression, "We haven't found their remains, and if the funeral is not handled properly, Changsheng won't be able to rest in peace in the underworld. Changsheng's wife, you have to think carefully. Changsheng had a miserable life and died in pain. We can't let him suffer in the underworld..." As she said that, the old lady couldn't help crying again.

Sixth Grandpa nodded. They were already old and firmly believed in these matters after death.

Shen Rong couldn't bear to watch, but when she thought of Changsheng, her heart ached again, "Grandpa, grandma, Changsheng must be fine, he just disappeared, I have asked Wang Qing to take people to look for him..."

After hearing what Shen Rong said, the two decided not to bring up the topic again. Sixth Grandma thought about how Shen Rong had been so brave before and had gone to Jiangnan alone, so she couldn't help but warn Shen Rong.

"These two children will depend on you from now on. You can't go on a long trip like you did before. It's not safe outside these days. If something happens to you, what will happen to the two children in the future..."

Shen Rong nodded, "Don't worry, grandma. The child and I will be at home waiting for the father to come back."

When Shen Rong, her son and her two children returned to the Marquis' Mansion, they found a white banner hung in front of the door.

"Who hung this up?" Shen Rong's face turned pale and she was shaking with anger.

When the concierge saw that it was Shen Rong, he hurriedly replied in a low voice: "It's the old lady..."

When the lady learned that Changsheng had fallen off a cliff and was unknown whether he was alive or dead, she fell ill and never got up.

Shen Rong didn't want to hold a funeral either.

Seeing that the mansion was quiet, Chen jumped out to take charge.

Shen Rong couldn't help but scolded: "Take it down quickly, the old marquis is just missing, he is not dead yet!"

Pingping has inherited the title, and Changsheng has become an old marquis.

After saying this, she let go of the two children's hands and personally pulled off the white cloth hanging on the gate.

Seeing this, the doorman hurried forward to help.

"Ouch! What are you doing?" A sharp voice came from inside the door.

Shen Rong knew the person coming was Xiao Chen without turning around.

She ignored Xiao Chen's exclamation and meticulously pulled down the white banner on the door.

"Shen, stop it! The person is dead, and you still don't give the old marquis a grand ceremony. What do you mean?" Little Chen stepped forward to stop her.

"No way! He is not dead yet! He is just missing, not dead!" Shen Rong said without thinking.

The people outside the gate saw a white banner suddenly hung in the Pingyang Marquis Mansion and stopped to curiously see what was going on.

Those who knew the situation talked about it one by one, and the onlookers finally knew what had happened in the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.

After listening to the argument between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, everyone had different opinions on whether to hang the banner or not.

"If you ask me, this person is just missing, why are you in such a hurry to hold a funeral?"

"I'm afraid it's not as simple as missing. The emperor issued an imperial decree this morning, declaring that the five-year-old son of Marquis Pingyang will inherit the title. If the person wasn't really gone, the emperor wouldn't have allowed a child to be a marquis."

"That's right! The emperor has spoken clearly. If someone dies, it would be unreasonable not to hold a funeral."

"Tsk tsk tsk... What a pity! The Marquis' wife looked so young and beautiful, yet she became a widow at such a young age... What a pity."

"Who says it's not true? I heard that the old marquis was knocked off a cliff a hundred feet deep while suppressing bandits. He died for his country, but he left behind this orphan and widow."

Everyone started discussing it.

Chen listened to the discussion outside the door and looked at Shen Rong, "Now that the imperial decree to inherit the title has been issued, you can't delay the funeral."

Shen Rong didn't care what everyone was talking about, she just looked at Chen stubbornly.

"If I say I won't do it, then I won't do it. If the old lady is free, she should go and take care of the old lady!"

Even though the imperial decree to inherit the title had been issued, Shen Rong still did not plan to hold a funeral for Changsheng.

Seeing that Shen Rong was unmoved and not wanting to make fun of herself at the doorstep, Chen glared at Shen Rong and went back to the yard.

Shen Rong brought the child and ordered the servants to take down all the white banners in the mansion.

She has already thought about it.

Wang Qing left early this morning, and she would never hold a funeral before he came back.

If he returns without bringing back any news about Changsheng...

Shen Rong closed her eyes, then she could only hold one...

The events at the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion did not cause much stir in the prosperous capital city.

Ever since Changsheng got into trouble, only people from the Duke's Mansion who were close to him came to visit the Madam.

Mrs. Zhou Er just got pregnant. I heard that the fetus is a little unstable and she has not left the house for nearly a month.

Even if she wanted to come and comfort Shen Rong, it was not convenient.

At night, after Shen Rong coaxed her two children to sleep, she lay in bed alone, her mind full of immortality, and she couldn't fall asleep.

She remembered that she had not practiced the skills taught by her master last night and this morning, so she forced herself to practice the Changqing Jue.

Now that Changsheng is not here, there are only the elderly, the weak, women and children in the mansion. She needs a little force to intimidate the servants in the mansion, and she needs more force to protect her two children.

Shen Rong forced herself to calm down, silently recited the skills, made a hand gesture, and a ball of green light appeared at her fingertips.

This ball of green light is much more condensed than the initial one.

Shen Rong knew better than anyone that this ball of green light was very powerful.

Falling on the green plants can make them grow a circle, flipping the fingers and changing the attacking tactics, the green light can completely eliminate the vitality of the green plants.

Although Shen Rong had never experienced what would happen if such green light hit a person, she could feel the terrifying energy emanating from the green light.

Shen Rong couldn't sleep, so she just practiced all night long.

I thought she would be very tired after not sleeping all night, but it turned out that not only was she not tired, she was even more energetic than before.

After Shen Rong discovered this change, she couldn't help but admire in her heart that her master was worthy of being called a living immortal, and the martial arts he practiced were also extraordinary.

Thinking of the extraordinary features of this technique, Shen Rong couldn't help feeling sad again.

If Changsheng had practiced this technique in advance, perhaps nothing would have happened.

Unfortunately, at that time, she was concerned about her master's rule that the skills must not be passed on to outsiders, so she did not dare to pass the skills on to Changsheng privately.
