After the old general received the news at the Xilin training ground, he hurriedly took a fast horse and rushed back to the general's mansion.

Mrs. Lu brought Jin Xiwen back to the main courtyard and asked Ming's mother to come and see her.

After Ming's mother examined the baby, she was taken outside by Mrs. Lu.

"How is it? How is Wen'er?" Mrs. Lu asked Ming's mother.

"Madam, the second young lady..." Mother Ming hesitated to speak.

"Tell me quickly, what happened to Wen'er?" Mrs. Lu was extremely anxious.

"It will be difficult for the second young lady to get pregnant again." said Ming's mother.

Lu staggered and almost lost her balance. "You, what did you say?"

"Madam, please accept my condolences." Ming's mother uttered these four words.

Lu no longer responded and stayed where she was.

The old general came back at this time. Lu's eyes were dull and she threw herself into the old general's arms.

"Master, Master..."

The old general patted Lu's back gently to comfort her.

"It's okay, it will be fine. I will find all the famous doctors in the world to cure the child!"

Mrs. Lu didn't say anything. Her mind was full of the fact that Jin Xiwen was now the same as Jin Suting.

Yu Jingfeng also died, and her daughter became a widow who had lost her child.

The thought of this made her heart ache so much that she couldn't breathe.

——

When Jin Suting woke up early in the morning, she heard this shocking news.

"You said Yu Jingfeng is dead? Jin Xiwen's child is gone?" She was more than just shocked, her jaw dropped.

The two young couples who were in love with each other last night broke up this morning, separated by the Yin and Yang.

"Miss, please keep your voice down. Madam is too sad and has fallen ill." Qin'er reminded in a low voice.

This kind of thing shouldn't be spread everywhere, but Jin Suting is the eldest daughter, and she will know it sooner or later.

Tan Er told Jin Suting in advance before the news spread throughout the general's mansion.

When Lu Mingxian arrived at the mansion this morning, he attracted a lot of people's attention. After all, those who had seniority in the general's mansion knew that Lu Mingxian had not visited the mansion for two or three years.

This time he came directly to see the lady, which is really strange.

Tan'er asked Xiao Hei to find out the news. Xiao Hei was very clever and good at making his brothers and sisters happy.

In just a quarter of an hour, she brought back the new news, so Jin Suting was the third person in the general's mansion who knew about this tragedy besides the old general and Mrs. Lu.

"Did it happen on South Street?" asked Jin Suting.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm also wondering why we're in a ghost place like South Street." Xiao Hei's little head was filled with big doubts.

"Could it be a problem with the carriage?" Jin Suting guessed correctly, "A man as courageous as Yu Jingfeng wouldn't be willing to go to South Street on his own. Besides, it was already dark at the time. You said the carriage was overturned when you were discovered, right?"

"Well! No one can go in to see it, but what I heard from the guard at the door was really shocking." Xiao Hei got goosebumps when he thought about it.

Jin Suting frowned and said, "Let's go to the front hall and take a look."

Tan Er immediately stopped her, "Miss, things are already chaotic enough. If you go over there, Madam might vent her anger on you."

Jin Suting sat back on the bed, patted Qin'er's hand, and gave her a reassuring look, "Okay, I won't go. You're right, I always feel that if I go there, she will definitely take her anger out on me."

"I'd better stay here with you, hehe." Jin Suting said as she rubbed Qin'er who was half sitting up on the bed.

——

The Imperial Palace at this time.

After Yu's father and mother learned that their only son was in trouble, Yu's mother fainted.

Yu's father also forced himself to follow the officers and soldiers to the crime scene to identify Yu Jingfeng's body.

He has been in the business world for many years and has seen all kinds of storms, but with his son's body in front of him, the once lively person is no longer there, replaced by a cold body.

He knelt in front of Yu Jingfeng's body and cried bitterly.

The saddest thing in the world is to see the young die before the old.

He relied on his last bit of consciousness to hold on and had Yu Jingfeng's body transported back to the general's mansion.

What hit him the most was not just this news. Someone from the General's Mansion came to report that the baby in Jin Xiwen's belly could not be saved.

Yu Fu couldn't hold on and fell down.

He thought there was still one last hope, that their Yu family would not be extinct.

But God would not let him go, nor would he let his imperial palace go.

What happened on South Street caused a sensation in the entire Funing City.

Even the Queen Mother sent someone to visit the General's Mansion and pay her respects to the old general.

The old general has been in a trance these days, avoiding visitors and even refusing entry to the eunuch sent by the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother did not blame anyone. After all, such a big thing had happened, and it would be the same for anyone.

The business of the Yu Mansion plummeted, and both Yu's father and mother fell ill.

Some even say that the business world in Funing will soon change.

Amidst all the rumors, the prince's concubine selection banquet was held as scheduled.

On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, colorful lanterns were hung high in Zuixian Tower, and the entire building was booked out.

The eunuch Bai Gonggong who was beside the Queen Mother was in the building, directing the busy palace maids and eunuchs.

The Crown Prince's concubine selection banquet was specially held outside the palace so that all the noble ladies of Funing could attend.

Zuixianlou is the most suitable place, with a grandstand and an elegant environment.

Although something happened in the general's mansion, it did not affect the two remaining daughters in the family from attending the banquet.

Since Mrs. Lu was ill, Mrs. Wang brought Jin Xiyan and Jin Suting to the banquet.

Jin Xiyan was dressed up gorgeously, with all the pearl hairpins on her head pinned on top of her head, her skirt also chosen to be the brightest pink, and boxes of rouge all over her face.

The whole person looks like a big rooster competing for beauty.

Jin Suting was completely different. She wore a light blue embroidered skirt and a light blue pearl hairpin.

Without makeup, she looks like a banished immortal walking out of a painting, so beautiful and pure that it is beyond description.

The banquet began at nightfall. There was singing and dancing in Zuixian Tower, and the noble ladies of Funing took their seats one by one.

The Queen Mother made a rule that no one else could follow, not to mention her own mother, even her personal maid was not allowed.

Wang had no choice but to go back, but Qin'er was not so obedient. She insisted on coming here today despite her injury, just to protect Jin Suting and prevent the same thing from happening again.

Jin Suting was puzzled. Qin'er couldn't even protect herself when she was injured, so how could she protect her?

But she couldn't resist Qin'er's stubborn temper, so she brought her along.

Finally, Jin Suting and Jin Xiyan entered Zuixianlou, Wang went back, and Qin'er gritted her teeth, used her lightness skills to fly to the roof, and took a panoramic view of the whole situation.

After all the noble ladies of Funing were seated, the Queen Mother slowly came out from behind the curtain.

"Greetings to the Mother of the Nation. Long live the Mother of the Nation—"

The ladies all knelt down beside their seats and bowed.
