Chapter 114: Set up the mourning hall and place the coffin!
Kong Dezhao personally applied medicine to Yu Shengsheng and wrapped it with a silk handkerchief.
It was a bit funny, but the pain was definitely relieved a lot.
Kong Dezhao's large palm easily grasped her entire jaw: "You want to hurt yourself like this? I didn't agree. Didn't I say that if there is any problem, let me handle it."
Yu Shengsheng looked at his face so close to her, and her originally anxious heart was pushed to a direction she had never thought of by hatred.
Perhaps Kong Dezhao is not the best candidate for a husband, but at this moment, he is her best way out.
Grandma Wu died, and she had no ties and had to leave the Su family. The Su family wanted to keep her, just to give her to Kong Dezhao.
In that case, why should the Su family get this benefit?
All the previous hesitation, unwillingness and resistance are gone, leaving only hatred and the desire for revenge.
Yu Shengsheng pursed her lips, her eyes were red and swollen, like a soft and harmless little rabbit.
"Grandma Wu is dead... They forced Grandma Wu to death. I want to take Grandma Wu away and hold a funeral for her, but..."
Qi Mubai watched from the side, his chest rising and falling slightly, his fingers curled and tightened in his sleeves.
The Emperor feared the Prince of Nanshun, but the Prince of Nanshun was so arrogant! Why?
"Sir," Qi Mubai said, "this is the Su family's affair. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you..."
Kong Dezhao didn't say anything, didn't even look at him, Kong Mao went up and slapped him.
Just now he was hit on the left by Leopard, and now he is hit on the right by Kongmao.
"Since this is the Su family's business, what are you doing here?" Kong Dezhao snorted coldly, glancing at Su Zhiyi, "Why? You haven't even married yet, but you're already rushing to become the Su family's son-in-law? Are you going to be a son-in-law?"
Qi Mubai wiped the blood from the corner of his lips, his face was numb with pain, and hearing these words made his face burn hotter than being slapped in the face.
Kong Dezhao let go of Yu Shengsheng: "I can do whatever you want. It's a small matter. Come, put the body down first."
Yu Shengsheng nodded, and Kong Mao walked over, took Grandma Wu's body and put it on his back.
Kong Dezhao then turned around and looked at the corpse of the secret guard on the ground.
"Whose man is this?"
Su Zhiyi gripped the armrest of the wheelchair tightly, pursed her lips and said nothing.
Su Dingqin took a step forward and was about to speak, but Kong Dezhao said coldly, "Think it over first."
Su Dingqin continued, "He is indeed my man. I asked him to protect Zhiyi, and he obeyed me."
"That means it's yours," Kong Dezhao said nonchalantly, "In that case, let's go together."
Madam Su asked, "What... together? What are you going to do?"
"This prince has said that he will do whatever Shengsheng wants," Kong Dezhao stood in the middle of the yard, giving orders with full energy, "Come here, pass the order down, set up the mourning hall, and place the coffin!"
"Yes!" the guards said in unison.
The Su family's faces changed in shock.
The old lady shouted, "How can this be possible? She is just an old slave. Giving her a thin coffin is already a favor. How can you do this..."
"In my opinion, you are just an old woman. Do you want to hold two funerals at the same time?"
The old lady choked and almost fainted from anger.
Madam Su looked at Yu Shengsheng and said, "Shengsheng, please speak up. How can this be tolerated?"
"I say," Yu Shengsheng met Kong Dezhao's gaze, "very good."
Kong Dezhao narrowed his eyes, then burst into laughter.
"Well said!"
Yu Shengsheng glanced at Jin Baobao and said, "And Baobao and Nanny Zhou, both of you must stay with me."
"Okay, no problem," Kong Dezhao waved his hand.
Nanny Zhou, who had been forced to kneel outside, limped in, her eyes wet before she spoke.
Kong Dezhao's men worked efficiently. Within an hour, the mourning hall was set up and the whole house was draped in white. The coffin was made of fine golden nanmu wood, and candles were burning high, with mist curling up.
Kong Dezhao also ordered people to go to the temple outside the city to invite eminent monks to perform a ritual to pray for the deceased.
Anyway, no matter how grand the event is, just do it.
Kong Tu held a stack of bills in her hand and said, "My young master is doing this for your Su family. I have these bills for now. We will settle them all after the funeral is over."
The Su family: “…” Not only did they lose face, they also lost money.
The old lady couldn't bear it and fainted from anger.
Su Dingqin was so angry that he looked like a medicine barrel about to explode. Seeing this, he wanted to send the old lady back to the courtyard so that he could do a few more rounds of boxing to vent his anger.
As soon as he took a step, Kong Dezhao said slowly: "Major General, you can't leave."
Su Dingqin turned around and asked: "What else do you want, my lord?"
"Since you admit that the killer is yours, you must take responsibility. You can't just let someone who intends to kill me go."
Su Zhiyi was jealous and angry when she saw Kong Dezhao defending Yu Shengsheng so much, especially since no one in the Su family dared to do anything to Kong Dezhao, which made her feel even more aggrieved.
Yu Shengsheng, that bitch, why!
"When did my sister become the prince's wife? How come I didn't know..."
"Who do you think you are?" Kong Dezhao sneered, his tone extremely sarcastic, "Are you worthy enough to know about this prince's affairs? You'd better take care of yourself."
Kong Dezhao stroked the feathers of the Saker Falcon and said, "Make mourning clothes for the young general and the princess, and help them put them on."
Su Dingqin was stunned: "What?"
Su Zhiyi thought she had misheard: "Why should this princess wear mourning clothes?"
"It seems like you are really used to turning a deaf ear to my words. What did you say just now? Whoever the killer belongs to will be held responsible. The Major General said that it is your two people's people."
"Of course, you two have to be responsible for that. The way to be responsible is to wear mourning clothes for the deceased, keep vigil, carry out the funeral procession, and carry the coffin."
Yu Shengsheng lowered her eyes. She felt happy for a while, but then sad again. She would rather not have all these as long as Grandma Wu was alive.
Su Dingqin and Su Zhiyi were both stunned and too angry to speak.
Mrs. Su was shocked: "How can this be possible?"
Su Yanshu's face turned pale: "Sir, this is really inappropriate. If outsiders knew about this..."
"I want to let outsiders know, let everyone in the capital know, what will happen if you don't listen to me."
Su Dingqin gnashed his teeth and said, "I won't do it! This is outrageous! Kong Dezhao, don't think you can do whatever you want. This is the capital, not Nanshun."
"Since we are Nanshun, we have to be reasonable. Our Su family is not an ordinary family. We are also a family of military commanders and have made great military achievements. My father is still guarding the border and has not returned yet. How can we accept this humiliation!"
"If it weren't for the fact that you are a military family, and if your father hadn't come back yet, do you think that I could easily resolve the matter of letting the assassin attack Shengsheng?"
Su Yanshu said in a cold and calm tone: "Sir, this is indeed inappropriate. The funeral can be held, and we can also say that she was a loyal servant, raising her grandson to adulthood, and lighting a perpetual lamp in the temple. That's all fine."
"But it is not possible for my brother and Zhiyi to wear mourning for him."
Kong Dezhao tilted his head to look at him.
Su Yanshu met Kong Dezhao's gaze and said, "If the prince insists on doing this, I will go to the East Palace and file a complaint before the emperor."
