"No……"

With great difficulty, Wang managed to utter a single word.

How could she think and do such a thing?

Her son also has the surname Huo!

Only when the Huo family prospers can her son live a life of extreme luxury.

"No? Then how dare you bribe a monk to scheme against the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion? Hmm? You don't think the Marquis of Zhongyong's wife is as stupid as you, do you?"

Huo Minglang moved his foot away, then lowered his head, staring coldly at the disheveled woman.

My heart was completely unmoved.

What made you fall in love with this woman in the first place?

He couldn't remember.

It even seemed somewhat unbelievable.

How could I possibly fall for such a foolish person?

"She found out? No, that shouldn't be the case. Ah, she... doesn't she dote on Ninth Master?"

Because her mouth was swollen from being slapped, Wang had great difficulty speaking, and it took her a long time to say a single sentence, which only exacerbated the pain in her face.

Huo Minglang felt that continuing to talk to the Wang family would be a waste of time.

“You can’t die now, but you will die on the way. Don’t worry, I will have Liu raise our son well. She’s timid and won’t dare to do anything.”

Huo Minglang thought, why not poison her and make Wang Shi die from weakness?

How ironic!

This was the method of death that Wang had previously devised for Liu.

The time and the manner of death were exactly as predicted.

Wang cried out in terror, "No, please, I... I can't die, sob sob sob, please..."

Why do you want to kill her?

Why did you have to kill her?

"If you don't want to implicate your family, then obediently help me finish this charade." Huo Minglang said this and left.

A moment later, two guards arrived and, without saying a word, forcibly administered the medicine to Madam Wang.

Wang felt a burning pain in her throat, so intense that she rolled on the ground in agony!

It hurts!

It hurts so much!

"Ah, I..."

She opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't speak clearly, and her throat hurt terribly.

The guards had left sometime earlier.

Wang's personal maid, Baoque, entered.

Wang reached out to her in terror: "Baoque, my throat, my throat..."

After that, not a single syllable was uttered.

There were no more sounds, not even a groan or an apology.

Overwhelmed with shock, anger, and pain, Ms. Wang fainted.

Soon, the news reached Aunt Liu's ears.

Now, the entire Huo family mansion is under the control of Consort Liu.

However, Aunt Liu still only considered herself a concubine and never interfered in important matters. Naturally, she would not bother Huo Minglang with trivial matters such as how much meat to buy today.

It can be said that she grasped the scale quite subtly, just enough to tickle Huo Minglang's itch.

Therefore, Huo Minglang was more willing to delegate power to Aunt Liu.

As for Aunt Liu, she neither fawned nor acted cleverly. Whether you came or not, she treated you the same.

This comfortable and carefree feeling was something Huo Minglang had never experienced before.

Or perhaps it's a state that Huo Minglang had never cared about or liked before, but now he likes it exceptionally much.

Therefore, the servants in the mansion immediately changed their tune.

In particular, the Wang family completely lost power.

Therefore, everything about Madam Wang quickly reached Aunt Liu's ears.

After the servants left, Concubine Liu instructed several of the old matrons in the mansion:

"The manor forbids any behavior that would take advantage of the Wang family's misfortune. Furthermore, no one is allowed to discuss the Wang family or today's events. The young lady and young master must not be mistreated. Anyone who disobeys will be immediately sold out. Do you understand?"

This is the first time since she entered the mansion that Aunt Liu has shown her tough side.

She said, "You old ladies have all seen what happened to Madam Wang. If any of you think that any of you are more important to the master than Madam Wang, then go ahead and cause trouble! I'll admit defeat if the master doesn't beat you to death!"

Huo Minglang is someone you absolutely cannot mess with now.

If you puncture his lung, he'll definitely die!

The old women trembled with fear, remembering how Madam Wang had once managed to drive the Princess out of the General's mansion, but now...

Several nannies nodded hurriedly, swearing that they would manage all the servants well and absolutely not allow anyone to say a word out of turn in the mansion.

"Okay, go ahead."

Aunt Liu rubbed her temples, feeling a little tired.

She simply wanted to live a peaceful and quiet life, but now it seems that's unlikely...

-

The Imperial Palace.

Emperor Huiwu summoned Princess Duanyang to the palace.

"Your Majesty, is there any good news from Chenyi?" Princess Duanyang entered with a beaming smile.

Since the Second Prince was arrested, the people who had prevented her from writing letters with Chen Yi and those who had drugged her have been identified.

He is the seventh prince.

The Seventh Prince's aim was to frame Huo Minglang, who was a man of the Second Prince. Huo Minglang's downfall was naturally a heavy blow to the Second Prince.

However, the second prince was no pushover either. Before being imprisoned, he uncovered the truth and presented it to Emperor Huiwu.

Emperor Huiwu was naturally furious.

However, the royal family could not afford such a scandal, so Emperor Huiwu suppressed the matter.

Emperor Huiwu had already decided that he would send the seventh prince to guard the imperial mausoleum in two months. In fact, during this period, Emperor Huiwu had already shown signs of this by reprimanding the seventh prince's birth mother, Consort Rong, for a trivial matter and demoting her to the rank of concubine.

For the seventh prince, those two months were a period of great anxiety.

In response, Emperor Huiwu compensated Princess Duanyang with many good things, making up for her suffering over the years.
