Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

The next day, in Le Xiao Courtyard, the three maids were having lunch with Li Shuangwan.

Chen Rong was indeed very talented in cooking. Knowing that Li Shuangwan had been eating light meals these past few days due to her injury, she cooked several dishes for her in different ways.

The same ingredients take on a different flavor after being cooked by her. She has learned 50% of the 28 cooking methods, such as frying, stir-frying, roasting, stir-frying, boiling, blanching and shabu-shabu. Not only are the dishes colorful, fragrant and delicious, but she can also make them into various styles that make people's mouths water.

Li Shuangwan took a towel to wash his hands and said to Chen Rong, "Serve them both a bowl each. Come and sit with me to eat."

Yizhu and Luoman are now able to sit up and eat three meals a day, but they cannot sit for too long as their injuries are too severe.

Roman blinked. “Ah Rong, come on, I want the steamed goose with bamboo shoots, and the crispy braised meat, and yes, the steamed yellow croaker with loofah.”

Yizhu was shocked when she heard the names of the dishes. These past few days, they had been lying in bed recuperating from their injuries, and Chen Rong had been cooking all kinds of delicious food in different ways every day.

The princess came to dine with them every day, and made them all fatter.

"Princess, you've spoiled us too much. Look at how Roman doesn't follow any rules now."

Li Shuangwan smiled: "Rules are made by people, and I say it's okay. You should heal your injuries as soon as possible, so that you can do things for me earlier, right? I can't finish all these dishes, so I can't waste Arong's kindness."

Chen Rong blushed shyly. When she smiled, she had two small dimples, which made her very lovable. "I don't have any other skills, I just like to think about food. When I was in the farm, I often went out to dig wild vegetables without telling my parents."

Roman was chewing on the steamed goose meat with bamboo shoots. The delicious taste made her eyes narrowed in satisfaction.

"Aren't all wild vegetables bitter? How can they be delicious?"

"Well, after blanching it and removing the bitter leaves, it tastes really delicious. My parents didn't allow it at first, but my grandfather said who said girls have to stay in the yard. If you like to cook, you can do it. If you like to dig wild vegetables, you can go ahead and dig them, but you have to pay attention to safety."

Luoman and Yizhu were extremely envious of Chen Rong for having such a protective grandfather.

Li Shuangwan: "So I made a wise decision to bring you from the manor to my side."

"It's already noon, why hasn't Miss Yao come back yet?" Chen Rong muttered.

Roman rolled his eyes and said, "She had an appointment with Princess Jianing, so she just went out happily."

Yizhu had a serious look on her face. Miss Yao had just arrived in Shengjing City and didn't know how careful she had to be in every place in this noble mansion. She had to think over every word she said three times before speaking.

She reminded carefully: "Princess, I think you'd better find an appropriate time to talk to Miss Yao. What if something you said is not right... Ning of Jianing County has been spoiled by Her Royal Highness the Princess again."

Luo Man sneered at Yi Zhu, "You are the only one who speaks tactfully. Princess, Yi Zhu and I have been holding this in our stomachs for a long time, and today we really have to speak it out. Miss Yao doesn't seem to be a quiet person. In the past few days since she came to Prince Heng's mansion, she has been running out every day, either attending the plum blossom viewing banquet or the tea party, and she has met only the ladies of the noble families."

"Those girls have more complicated minds than others. They are always arrogant. Miss Yao used to be an opera singer. Don't let her bring trouble to you and the General's Mansion."

Li Shuangwan was very pleased that her two personal maids could think so much.

She rubbed Yizhu's head, and then touched Luoman's fair and tender face: "I know what's going on. Don't worry, I will never let her ruin the reputation of the General's Mansion. Look at the two of you, you are worried sick. Don't think about anything during this period of time, just take good care of your injuries."

As they were talking, Chen Ping hurried over.

Seeing that Chen Ping's face looked strange, Li Shuangwan didn't rush to ask, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Yes, Rong left some food for me, and I've already eaten it."

"Why are you in such a hurry to come to me? What happened?"

"Princess, I just received news that Xu Jianzhou was found murdered early this morning. His death was extremely tragic."

Li Shuangwan's eyelids jumped suddenly. Of course she knew Xu Jianzhou.

He was Ling Heng's great-uncle, who was abducted by human traffickers when he was young. As to when he was found and brought back to the Lin family, she was not sure.

In her previous life, she found out after Ling Heng ascended the throne that the reason why Xu Jianzhou did not change his surname back to Lin after being found was to secretly take over the Lin family's assets for Ling Heng and exchange them for the Xu family's assets without being known to the outside world.

"All the bones in his body were broken one by one. He didn't die on the spot. He was fed laughing drugs. Many doctors couldn't cure the poison. Everyone in the Xu family watched Xu Jianzhou laugh uncontrollably. When he died, his whole body was unrecognizable."

The girls huddled together in fear.

"The strange thing is that no one noticed any movement in his yard the night before. Normally, he would have screamed as his bones were broken one by one, but even the concubine who slept next to him didn't notice anything."

Li Shuangwan knew without thinking that the concubine must have been drugged.

Roman said in fear, "Oh, my God. This Xu Jianzhou has been ranked first on the Northern Jin rich list for decades. Such a rich man must have a lot of guards and masters in his mansion, right? How powerful must the person who killed him be? He died so miserably. Did he offend some master?"

Li Shuangwan didn't say anything. As for Ling Heng's good uncle, Xu Jianzhou, she also knew something about him. He was a very influential figure.

There is no other reason, he is just very good at business. He has been ranked first on the Northern Jin Rich List for many years, and no one can shake his position. Let’s put it this way, the wealth of the second and third place combined is not as much as that of Xu Jianzhou alone.

But he did all kinds of evil.

In his previous life, he enjoyed wealth and splendor. Only half a year after Ling Heng ascended the throne, he changed his surname back to Lin. However, when he was in his fifties, he took too many aphrodisiac pills and eventually died in his concubine's bed.

She even accidentally heard Huang Sheng say something to Ling Heng about dying, but she didn't find out clearly.

Originally, such a scandal would have been suppressed because of Emperor Ling Heng.

But Xu Jianzhou's wife was a fierce woman. Not only did she chop off the concubine's limbs, she also turned her into a beauty bowl and made the whole city famous about Xu Jianzhou's death.

The so-called beauty bowl is a beautiful woman's mouth that is used as a spittoon for spitting or filth. Most of the women who are made into beauty bowls do not live long.

Xu Jianzhou's wife was so angry that her gums were bleeding. She even placed the "beauty bowl" made by the concubine in the downtown area for passers-by to play with.

Finally, she heard the news and ordered people to rescue this "beauty bowl".

The concubine died within a few hours.

Even though it only lasted half a day, everyone knew about it.

This is how Xu Jianzhou died in this life. He did so many evil things that he deserved to die.

She thought of Gu Xingyan.
