Chapter 559: Funeral Glory
The laughter in the room suddenly stopped.
There was a flash of impatience in Shen Wan’s eyes.
It has been so long since we heard any news about the second, third, and old lady, that I was a little overwhelmed when I heard about it for the first time.
The old lady was seriously ill and actually sent someone to tell her that she wanted to see the princess...
Chen Wan really couldn't imagine what the old lady had to say to the princess. Was it because the Jiang family asked the princess to marry the prince to bring good luck, and the princess and the Jiang family had no contact for so many years. However, she sent a letter from home, wanting to see the princess, but the princess left her when she was about to give birth and went to such a far place in Shengzhou. Did she think that the princess was not vindictive and was easy to talk to, and she wanted to take advantage of him?
Or after the family was divided, seeing that the fourth branch had not yet moved out of the mansion, she thought that the fourth branch was just being stubborn and refusing to move out, so she talked to the princess and allowed the fourth branch to stay in the mansion. Did she want to move back?
No matter which one it was, the princess had no intention of meeting the old lady. Considering that the old lady was seriously ill, she asked Mother Zhao to go on her behalf, which was considered to give the old lady enough face.
Mother Zhao went to see the old lady. When she came back, it was already afternoon. Shen Wan was about to take a nap when Dong'er came in and said, "Princess, Mother Zhao is back after seeing the old lady..."
Before Shen Wan could ask, Shanhu spoke first, "Why does the old lady want to see the princess?"
Yinchuan said, "It's definitely not a good thing."
Ever since the Crown Prince's wife married into the Jingbei Palace, nothing good has happened to anyone who has had anything to do with the Old Lady or the second and third wives, and this time will be no exception.
Dong'er said, "It's not that there's no good news. The second and third masters have been demoted, and no one wants to marry the second and third daughters. The old lady hopes that the prince will help the second and third wives for the sake of brothers..."
Brothers?
Not to mention Chen Wan, even Dong'er felt disgusted when she said these words.
How dare the Second and Third Masters talk about brothers? When the Second Madam was trying to replace the Prince with her, why didn't they give up their evil thoughts because they thought of being brothers with the Prince? Fortunately, the Prince protected them closely, otherwise it would have been the Crown Prince who was sent to the Prince Qing's Mansion and was killed.
They have already torn their relations apart, and the old lady has no gratitude towards the prince and princess, yet she has the nerve to say this.
Fortunately, the princess didn't go. Even Mother Zhao shouldn't have gone. It would have been a waste of her ears.
But there is more to it than that——
Dong'er said angrily, "The old lady wants to move back to the prince's mansion and hold the funeral from the prince's palace."
Shen Wan was angry when he heard this, but not surprised.
When the old lady moved out of the palace, she refused to leave and left a message that her funeral would be held in the palace after her death.
The old lady of the Jingbei Palace passed away, and all the civil and military officials in the court came to pay their respects. They asked her, the old lady, to live with the second house and set up a mourning hall in the second house. Now that the second master is no longer an official, not many people will go to pay their respects to the old lady.
The old lady enjoyed wealth and glory throughout her life, and she also wanted posthumous honors.
But since the family has been divided, and she is the biological mother of the second and third masters, she actually wants to go back to the palace mansion to hold the funeral. This is simply disgusting to her and the princess.
Coral asked, "And then?"
Dong'er said, "Mother Zhao helped the princess reject the Second Master..."
Mother Zhao will definitely help the princess reject this matter, but based on Shen Wan’s understanding of the old lady and the second and third rooms, they will not give up.
There will definitely be some trouble.
What are you afraid of?
The next day, Chen Wan was sleeping soundly when Shanhu woke her up. Chen Wan asked, "Why did you wake me up so early?"
Shanhu said anxiously, "Princess, please wake up! The old lady is dead. The second and third masters have sent the old lady's coffin to the Jingbei Palace..."
With a start, the sleepyhead disappeared in an instant.
Shen Wan was still a little dazed, "Say it again."
Coral reported it again.
The fast-moving fetal qi of the sinking qi.
No one is as shameless as the old lady and the second and third wives.
Knowing that neither she nor the princess would agree to her funeral being held in the palace mansion, he just acted without prior consent and sent the coffin over. She and the princess had to agree to this whether they agreed or not.
As long as parents are alive, the family will not be divided.
In order to avoid being criticized, the prince specifically asked the emperor for permission to let the old lady move out of the prince's mansion with the second and third wives.
After the old lady's death, the funeral had to be held in the palace mansion. It was natural for her and the princess to disagree, but now the second and third masters directly sent the old lady's coffin to the palace. She and the princess did not let the coffin in and asked them to take the old lady's coffin away. It was their fault.
Shen Wan was very angry. Chun'er came in and said, "Prince's Consort, the princess is asking the old lady to leave the funeral procession from the palace mansion..."
Is it okay to disagree?
Outside the palace gate, people coming and going were watching.
When a person dies, all debts are settled. Even if there were any grudges in the past, now that the old lady is gone, can they, the living, still hold so many grudges against a dead person?
But the second and third masters knew that she and the princess were unwilling, yet they still used such means to force them. If they just let it go, then she and the princess would be too easy to bully.
Chen Wan doesn't like to bully others, and she never does anything to kill anyone, but if they do it on the first day, don't blame her for doing it on the fifteenth.
I hope they don't regret it.
Taking a deep breath, Shen Wan suppressed his anger.
"Send someone to invite the prince and tell him I have something important to discuss with him."
The old lady of the Jingbei Palace, which had already separated from the family, died. The news that the second and third masters sent the coffin to the Jingbei Palace spread throughout Kyoto.
Everyone was confused by this operation.
Although the family will not be divided as long as the parents are alive, now that the family has been divided, whichever son the old lady married to will be the one to handle her funeral after her death. How can she go back to the Jingbei Palace to handle it?
Princess Jingbei and Princess Qingning are too easy to talk to.
Especially since Princess Qingning was pregnant.
Someone in the know said, "It's not that Princess Jingbei and Princess Qingning are easy to talk to. They are forced to do so. Second and Third Masters Xie dragged Old Madam Xie's coffin to the gate of Prince Jingbei's mansion early in the morning. No matter how unwilling Princess Jingbei is, how can they let them take the old lady's coffin away?"
This matter was handled unfairly by Second and Third Masters Xie. Princess Jingbei was not a cold-hearted person, so she could only agree to let the old lady's funeral be held in the prince's mansion.
But this put the civil and military officials in the court in a dilemma.
The old lady's funeral was held from the second house, so you don't need to go to pay your respects.
But it would be unreasonable not to go to pay condolences when the Jingbei Palace is holding a funeral.
Well, not only do you have to go to pay your respects, you have to go in person.
But it is obvious that the more people come to pay their respects, the more unhappy Princess Jingbei and Princess Qingning will be.
My head is spinning.
Chen Wan sent someone to pass on the message. This was the first time that Chen Wan looked for Xiao Huaijin after he recognized his ancestral home. At that time, the emperor also wanted to look for Xiao Huaijin. Xiao Huaijin sent someone to tell the emperor and then came to the Jingbei Palace.
No matter how important my father’s affairs are, they are not as important as my sister’s affairs.
Xiao Huaijin entered Zhaolanxuan and asked, "What does my sister want to talk to my brother about?"
Xiao Huaijin jogged all the way here, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Shen Wan said, “Second brother, do me a favor.”
Xiao Huaijin felt a surge of joy at being trusted.
After all, with her father's love for his sister, she only needs to ask. She goes to him instead of her father, which shows that she trusts him as her royal brother.
Xiao Huaijin asked hurriedly, "What help?"
