Shen Zhili was completely covered in the quilt, speaking in a muffled voice:

"Thank you, Madam. It's all up to you!"

Xiao Shuxue raised the corner of his mouth, said nothing more, and walked straight out of the yard.

The weather is getting warmer, but it's still a little cold when the sun is not out.

When I walked into Tingyuxuan, it was completely silent, as if there was no living creature here.

Xiao Shuxue walked into the room and saw Xie Xilan lying on her back with her eyes wide open and blood all over her mouth and nose.

The once pretty face now looks like a devil!

Qiu Sang knelt in front of the bed like a piece of wood, and even when Xiao Shuxue and his men entered the room, he did not react at all.

When the old nanny saw this, she quickly stepped forward and pushed Qiu Sang: "Madam is here, why don't you pay your respects quickly?"

He blinked a few times as he spoke. How Xie Xilan's funeral would turn out was entirely in Xiao Shuxue's hands. Qiu Sang should beg Xiao Shuxue for help now.

Qiu Sang's eyes were blank. She looked around at everyone and suddenly her eyes rolled back and she fell on the edge of the bed!

"Oh, what's going on?" The old nanny hurriedly helped the man up. Seeing that Qiu Sang's already purple forehead was bleeding again, she could only bite the bullet and ask for instructions:

"Madam, look at this..."

"Take her downstairs and bandage her. We still have to keep vigil later, so don't make it look too ugly!"

Xiao Shuxue was in no mood to argue with a servant. She glanced at Xie Xilan, waved her hand and said:

"Find someone to bury her. Let's keep the body for a day. Bring Shen Yitian and Shen Yunran to see her for the last time."

"Madam, would one day be too short?" The maid came up to remind her that Xie Xilan was the concubine granted by the late emperor, so even if she could not have five days, she should have at least three days.

"One day is good enough!" Xiao Shuxue turned and left the room, throwing down the handkerchief that had covered her mouth and nose just now: "According to the Marquis's intention, I'm afraid we have to carry her out now!"

"Would the old lady be informed?"

"Go tell her that this is the daughter-in-law she personally went to the palace to ask for, so of course we have to see her off before she leaves!"

When Shen Yitian and Shen Yunran were brought in, it was already daybreak and the streets were gradually filled with bustling sounds.

"Mother, mother..." Shen Yitian had lost a lot of weight, and it was not pleasant to be locked in the yard to study.

"Why did my mother die? Was it you who caused her death?" Shen Yitian rushed forward, waving his fists, his face full of resentment: "It must be you. You saw that my father treated my mother well, so you became jealous. You killed my mother!"

Xiao Shuxue's maid was good at boxing and kicking. Just as she was about to attack, Xiao Shuxue waved her hand to stop her: "Although he is a little stupid, he is still a filial child."

Shen Yitian was held down by the servants, and he was unable to exert any strength. He thrashed about and cursed for a long time, and could only ask Shen Yunran for help:

"Sister, go find father quickly and ask him to avenge mother!"

Shen Yunran seemed not to hear and just kept crying with her head down.

"Sister, please go quickly. Mother was killed by her. You have the best ideas. Please think of a solution!"

"Haha, Shen Yunran is now my legitimate daughter, and your mother is just her aunt. How can you, a bastard, order her around?" Xiao Shuxue laughed coldly.

Shen Yunran froze, and quickly looked up at Xiao Shuxue, then quickly lowered his head, pinching his clothes with his fingertips, and pursed his lips.

Shen Yitian was unable to react. What was the difference between legitimate daughter and illegitimate son, mother and aunt? He only knew that his mother had said that he, his sister, and his mother were a family, and that they were relatives who should support each other.

"Witch, what nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand. When I grow up, I will cut you into pieces!" Shen Yitian kept yelling.

Xiao Shuxue looked at Shen Yunran with some envy: "It's a good thing that your brother is stupid. At least he won't doubt you."

Shen Yunran shivered and called out like a mosquito: "Mother..."

"Alright!" Xiao Shuxue was impatient to talk to the child and waved her hand: "You stay here to accompany her. It's not good to let her be too lonely."

When they reached the hanging flower gate, Nanny Wang, who was beside Old Madam Shen, came over quickly and bowed to Xiao Shuxue:

"Madam, Madam Lan..."

"Dead!" Xiao Shuxue's face darkened: "Why didn't the old lady come?"

Nanny Wang replied tremblingly, "The old lady didn't sleep well last night. Now she heard the bad news and was too sad to get out of bed. She asked me to tell her that everything is up to her."

Xiao Shuxue laughed loudly, turned around and shouted into the house: "Xie Xilan, you have been competitive all your life, have you ever thought about dying and only me being the one to see you off?"

"Lan'er, Lan'er!" The voices cried out in sorrow.

Xiao Shuxue looked over and saw an old man in green clothes stumbling down the corridor.

"Lan'er, how is my Lan'er?" Xie Huaizhong saw Xiao Shuxue, his eyes sparkling with expectation: "The princess has invited a doctor for my Lan'er? Can he cure her? I also brought a doctor here today, so it's a good opportunity for us to see the doctor together."

Xiao Shuxue didn't say anything, just turned sideways and let the person pass.

The saddest thing in the world is when the elderly die before them.

Xie Huaizhong hurriedly dragged the doctor into the yard, and the servants who followed behind reported to Xiao Shuxue:

"When we were at the door, we had already informed Mr. Xie that Madam Lan had gone. I don't know how he forgot about it when he got here."

"How can he believe it without seeing it for himself?"

In the room, Xie Xilan had already wiped her face clean and changed into clean clothes. She was just waiting for the coffin to arrive so that she could be put into the coffin.

"Why did you dress Lan'er like this?" Xie Huaizhong stretched out his hands, his eyes bloodshot.

He pulled the doctor over and said, "Doctor, please check on Lan'er. She was the most mischievous when she was little. She must have thought of some bad idea again. Please wake her up so I can teach her a lesson!"

The doctor who was held back had a bitter face. He could save living people, but how could he save this dead person who had already been buried?

"Thank you, sir. I'm sorry for your condolences!" The doctor pulled his clothes back with all his strength, found an opportunity and slipped away!

Today is so unlucky. I thought it would be a big deal early in the morning, but who knew it would be a wasted trip!

The doctor ran into a coffin being carried in from outside and could only mutter to himself: “Seeing the coffin brings fortune, seeing the coffin brings fortune!”

Xie Huaizhong wanted to touch Xie Xilan's face, but his hands were shaking so badly that the nanny next to him couldn't bear it:

"Thank you, sir. Madam Lan is gone. You have to take care of yourself! You still have two grandchildren!"

Xie Huaizhong then saw Shen Yitian being forced to kneel down by two people, cursing.

Shen Yunran stood far away with his head lowered, and his expression could not be seen.

"Ran'er, come here!" Xie Huaizhong waved at her: "Come here, come to grandpa!"

Shen Yunran hesitated and did not move. The old nanny hurried over and pushed him forward:

"Quickly persuade your grandfather not to be too sad, he still has to take care of you..."

"Snapped!"

"ah!"

The old lady exclaimed!
