Lu Chengyi's death was like a stone thrown into the bottom of a lake under such a tense situation. There were ripples on the surface, and it soon returned to calm.

People in Beifu were still running around, but Wei Shuhua, the first witness, hadn't shown up for a long time. Gradually, there were some bad rumors in the market.For example, the Second Young Master Lu had an affair with the Second Miss Wei, and the Second Young Miss held a grudge because of the Second Young Master's marriage...

Lu Ding, who was still in high spirits yesterday, seemed to have aged a lot in an instant when he saw his son's cold body.

"The Hou Mansion still can't find any news about Wei Shuhua?"

The butler bowed and said: "The servants of the Hou's mansion are very talkative. No matter how you ask, they only say that Miss Wei Er is ill. The old matriarch also posted a post to invite the imperial physician in the palace, and the imperial physician also said that Miss Er is seriously ill."

Lu Ding's face gradually darkened.

Sun, who was watching the spirit at the side, said: "My husband died for no reason. This justice must be brought back. The daughter-in-law is a female relative, so it is more convenient to visit. I also ask the father to allow the daughter-in-law to meet the second lady at the Hou's mansion. These right and wrong are always important. Make it clear. There are rumors outside, some things are related to the reputation of the husband and the second lady, we can't just sit idly by. We can't ask the husband to bear the stigma after death."

"Besides, we don't know who released the rumors outside. If the matter was not done by the second lady, wouldn't we be in the hands of those people? For the Shanghou Mansion, we let go of the real culprit who killed your husband. If so , your husband's spirit will not rest in peace even in heaven."

Lu Ding glanced at his usually quiet daughter-in-law, hesitated for a while, and said, "Go, you must see Wei Shuhua. The truth is to see what the Hou Fu wants to do."

The coffin was quietly parked in the mourning hall, the candlelight was flickering and dancing, and there seemed to be a figure faintly condensed in front of Nuo Da's inscription, as if talking in a low voice.

Although Lu Ding thinks highly of his eldest son Lu Chengfeng, he likes his second son Chengyi most in his heart.Because all his expectations are placed on Cheng Yi, he is a gentleman, refined and upright.He hates evil like a hatred, and is open and aboveboard.

In fact, Lu Ding knew in his heart that even if this matter was related to Wei Shuhua, she must not have killed the person.It's just...he suddenly closed his eyes, as if he couldn't see Lu Chengyi's bright eyes, as if he could cover up the darkness deep in his heart.

He got up to leave, and told Mrs. Sun: "Good luck, take care of the mourning hall."

Responding respectfully, Mrs. Sun lowered her eyes and turned the brazier in front of her.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Sun changed into plain clothes, left from the corner gate of the Xiangfu, and went to the Houfu in a low-key manner.Coincidentally, they ran into Feng Yu and his wife in Hou's mansion.

"The second young lady also came to see the second young lady?" Feng Yu asked.

Sun said: "Outside matters have to be resolved, and hiding like this is not an option."

Feng Yu glanced at the rough envoy who was following Sun, and said, "My wife is in the room of the second young lady, please please the second young lady. It's just that the second young lady is weak, so some irrelevant people should stay outside and wait." Well, so as not to make the Second Miss' condition worse, that would be a sin."

The mother-in-law said: "Our young lady has worked hard for the past two days and is not feeling well. The mother-in-law is a little worried..."

Feng Yu frowned: "Master, there is no place for a slave to interrupt, but don't bully the second young lady for her generosity."

Sun sternly said: "Still not retreating."

The woman had no choice but to wait in the corridor.Housekeeper Wei brought tea and chatted with Feng Yu.The woman wanted to hear what the inner room was saying, but she couldn't hear anything clearly.

After a while, two women came out from the inner room, one was Mrs. Sun, and the other was of course Feng Yu's new wife.

Mrs. Sun said to Guanjia Wei: "Second Miss is seriously ill and hastily came to the door. I'm really sorry. I would like to ask Housekeeper Wei to report, I wonder if I can see Mrs. Wei. I have disturbed your house a lot because of my husband's affairs in the past two days. I have to make amends to the old lady."

Housekeeper Wei said with a smile: "Madam Er Young, you are too polite, the dead are the most important."

Housekeeper Wei sent a maid to go to Xikuayuan, and after a while, the maid came back and said: "The old lady asked the second young lady to go to the Xiaohua hall."

So the butler Wei led a group of people to the small flower hall in the west courtyard.Of course, the women who came with them were all left outside the courtyard.

Feng Yu took the opportunity and said: "I heard from Ah Zhao that the old matriarch's courtyard has a nice view. It's rare to visit the old matriarch. I want to take my wife around."

Madam Xu smiled and asked the maid beside her to lead the way, while she and Housekeeper Wei were outside the flower hall.Only Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wei are left in the house.

"Miss Wei Er is seriously ill, she should take a good rest." Sun expressed her position with one sentence.

"You don't blame her?" Apparently the old lady knew what Lu Chengyi was thinking, and she died because of the Wei family incident, leaving her orphans and widows.

Sun was stunned for a moment, and said: "I have complained. But my husband said that although he doesn't like officialdom, since he is an official, he wants to seek the well-being of the people and put the country's righteousness first. It's just that my husband didn't think about it. My father and teacher, who have always been respected, secretly teamed up to design border generals, without paying any attention to the lives of border people."

She lowered her eyes: "I never thought that Mr. Xiang would be so ruthless that he would even take advantage of his own son."

Mrs. Wei sighed: "Although my son has different political views from the Xiangye, the two families have no enmity. If we say that we have an enmity, it is probably because of Lu Zhan's incident back then. I didn't expect that the Xiangye had a crush on the Houfu in his heart. Hate so much."

Mrs. Sun thought for a while, and said: "According to my husband, Mr. Song is very dependent on Mr. Song, the guest of the family. Mr. Song's idea about the Second Young Master Wei is also Mr. Song's idea."

"Mr. Song?"

Sun said: "My husband doesn't know where he came from, even Mr. Song's name was unintentionally learned a few days ago. His surname is Song, his first name is Yue, and his courtesy name is Maoli."

"Song Yue..." Mrs. Wei murmured softly, always felt that the name was very familiar, but couldn't remember where she heard it.

"The second young lady wants to seek justice for Cheng Yi?"

Mrs. Sun nodded and said: "My husband has been upright all his life. I don't want him to be used to do unrighteous things after his death, even if that person is his father and his mentor. One more thing, the death of my husband It probably wasn't what Xiangye did, but I believe that Xiangye may know who killed my husband."

The reason why Mrs. Sun approached Old Madam Shangwei was precisely because she knew that Lu Ding would not give her justice.

Mrs. Wei said sadly: "You are all good boys. I will do my best on this matter."

Mrs. Sun blessed her body: "There is Mrs. Lao Wei."

After Mrs. Sun left, Feng Yu and his wife just came back from a stroll in the garden.

At that time, Concubine Feng Gui asked Mr. Yu to meet Feng Yu, and Mr. Yu made good friends with the Hou Mansion. After being entrusted by Mrs. Wei, she found a daughter of a small official's family for Feng Yu.Coincidentally, this little official was once a guest of the Hou's Mansion, but outsiders didn't know it.

It was only after realizing the twists and turns that Feng Yu realized that the Feng family had already boarded the Wei family's boat before they knew it.In other words, the Wei family had no intention of supporting the sixth prince from the very beginning.Think about Mr. Yu's original step-by-step teaching, but since more than three years ago, he suddenly changed his method.It turned out that from then on, the Hou Mansion already had plans.

Of course, Feng Yu might struggle if he was someone else, but since it was the Hou Mansion, he was happy to see it succeed.Although the two parties have not made it clear before, they can reach a tacit agreement on many things, which also shows the positive attitude of both parties towards cooperation.

"It's time to create momentum for the eldest prince." Old Madam Wei said in a deep voice.

Feng Yu said solemnly: "No matter what happens in the future, the Feng family will never forget the kindness of supporting and supporting the Hou family."

It's not the first time Feng Yu has come to the Hou's Mansion, he can guarantee that there is no other master in the Hou's Mansion except the old matriarch.Wei Yuan, the most mischievous young master of the Marquis Mansion, probably will not be at the mansion long ago.With the arrangement of the Hou Mansion in this way, I am afraid that what they do will be difficult and dangerous.

Feng Yu's promise at this time really made Mrs. Wei look at her with admiration.She didn't get along with Feng Yu much, she only knew that he was a relatively timid child, but he also had a sincere heart.

Mrs. Wei nodded, "I hope you will remember what you said today."

Ping'er stumbled into the hall and said in panic, "Your Highness, the emperor has granted Dongyue's request for a marriage marriage, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare a guard of honor, and set off on another day!"

Fan'er was shocked: "Then the Wang family didn't say anything?"

Ping'er said: "The Wang family retired, saying that they supported the emperor's decision. The emperor even compensated the Wang family for this."

Fan'er said angrily: "It's really a mistake, that young master of the Wang family is so courageous."

Chang Le on the side looked calm. She lowered her head and embroidered a handkerchief. She heard the words and said, "Young Master Wang is not an official, so how can he have a chance to face the saint. These matters are nothing more than those discussed by the adults. We only have to obey orders." .”

Fan'er said: "How can the princess get married before she reaches Ji?"

Chang Le said calmly: "It's just a political marriage, how can there be so many rumors. Even the wedding ceremony has not been completed, and a mere envoy from East Vietnam can welcome back the eldest princess of the Shang Kingdom. I'm so anxious about things in Huaizhong."

Fan'er cried: "The empress's body is not yet cold, how can the emperor, how can..."

Chang Le put down his bandages, and comforted him: "Okay, I once told my mother that as a princess, I should fulfill the mission of a princess. Since the emperor asked me to make a marriage, what else can I say."

Changle is very smart.Obviously, there was still a strong force in the court to contend with, but the wind suddenly changed in the past two days, which means that it is the best choice for her to leave the palace at this time.As for Pei'er, I believe my great-grandmother will make good arrangements.

She knew that there were not only people from the Hou family in this palace, but also people from the eldest grandson whom her uncle liked and respected very much.He is very powerful and will definitely protect Peier well.

"Qin'er, since it's a foregone conclusion, go down and pack your bags. It doesn't need to be too complicated, just take some emergency valuables."

Although Qin'er didn't understand, but seeing the princess's calm expression, without any sign of anxiety, her nervous heart also calmed down.

Yes, she is just a servant girl, she can't control those things, but she can take good care of the princess.It is a long way to go to East Vietnam, and I don’t know how to live in a strange place, so prepare more gold and silver ornaments that are convenient to carry, so that you can reward the servants, so that your eyes will not be darkened.

Once the Changle marriage was finalized, the wind direction of each palace also changed.Because this means that the emperor no longer loves Princess Changle.After all, getting married is very important, even the most ordinary princess should have a corresponding big gift.However, a majestic eldest princess was sent to Dongyue by the emperor like a gift. It is not surprising that those people had other thoughts in their hearts.

"...the palace has started to deduct the expenses of Yongning Palace." Ani Xiang carefully rubbed Concubine Cui's shoulders.

Concubine Cui Gui has been diagnosed as pregnant, but the time is short and has not been announced to the public, so Fennel is always very careful in serving her.

Concubine Cui lay lazily on the couch, and said with a sneer: "It's just a bunch of idiots. No matter how long Changle falls out of favor, she is also the eldest princess of Qi. Although the emperor agrees to make a marriage, but the love for Changle for so many years will always make people feel sad." He felt guilty. He reminded the people in our palace not to join in the fun. When necessary, he had to rescue the other side, so as to show the dignity of the palace."

Fennel's voice should be yes.

Concubine Cui gently caressed her lower abdomen, and pointed out: "Princess Changle is married, and there is a little prince who is more than three years old. It is inevitable that people will be tortured. Establishing a son and a son, if the son and the elder are gone..."

Fennel's heart skipped a beat, and the strength in her hand became lighter.
