“Wuwuwu…”
Xiao Xier didn't know that her tear glands were so developed. She cried as she pleased in the funeral hall, crying sadly and loudly.
Su Ningjie and Su Ningwen also cried hard, but their tear glands were not so developed, so their eyes were swollen from crying. They hung their heads and sobbed softly.
Su Xingyi knelt beside the three siblings, but he didn't cry. His expression was quite sad and angry.
The old couple of the Xiao family were worried that if they came out they would be exposed and the show would fail, so they claimed to be sick and did not come out.
Liang was a natural actress. She led the housekeeper and servants to receive the officials and their families who came to pay their respects.
It was the first time that the officials who came to pay their respects saw Su Xingyi.
As Lin Fang expected, Su Xingyi was not wearing any makeup, but only her profile could be seen.
Just a side profile is enough to amaze everyone.
Although the three children's faces were all red from crying, you could tell at a glance that they were all good-looking.
It’s a pity that Prince Shun is a king of a different surname with no power but a title, he doesn’t have his own palace, and he has three burdens.
Otherwise, based on Su Xingyi's looks, he would be someone that many noble ladies in Beijing would want to marry.
At this time, the servants in the yard called out: "Madam Fang, Madam Yun comes to offer condolences on behalf of the Queen Mother."
Su Xingyi tilted his head to the side and glanced at Nie Ying.
Nie Ying understood and quietly left the mourning hall through the side door.
Su Xingyi picked up the paper money and threw it into the paper money pile one by one.
Lin Fang came with a purpose, and as soon as she came in, her eyes drifted directly to Su Xingyi.
Although I only saw half of his true face, his sad and angry expression was very similar to that of the person from more than 20 years ago.
Lin Fang was actually a little bit unbelievable. That child was definitely dead and thrown out of the city. How could he still be alive?!
Regardless of whether he is that child or not, the Queen Mother must be informed as soon as possible.
Lin Fang and Yun Gu completed the process and left the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.
"Afang, let's go to Jintailou first. The Queen Mother hasn't had their signature dishes for a long time."
Lin Fang nodded and got on the carriage.
When they arrived at Jintai Tower, the palace servants parked the carriage in a side alley. Lin Fang was thinking about something and looked a little tired.
Aunt Yun asked her to wait in the car and went into Jintai Building herself.
After half an incense stick of time, Yun Gu was respectfully escorted out by the shopkeeper. When she arrived at the side alley, she was stunned.
The alley was empty.
Where is Lin Fang?
Why don't you wait for her?
Could it be that the Queen Mother sent someone to look for her?
Yun Gu did not dare to delay and quickly asked the owner of Jintai Tower to arrange a carriage to take her back to the palace.
The Empress Dowager was deeply distressed by the death of Xiao Lingyu. She sent Yun Gu and Lin Fang to offer condolences and then went to her bedroom to rest.
Yun Gu returned to the Cining Palace, but the Empress Dowager had not woken up yet.
Aunt Yun put the food box away, pulled the head palace maid aside and asked, "Where is Aunt Fang?"
The head maid was surprised. "Didn't she go with you to the Protector's Mansion to pay her respects? Didn't she come back with you?"
Yun Gu was puzzled. "Didn't the Queen Mother send someone out to look for us because of something urgent?"
"You went to the Duke of Huguo's mansion to offer condolences, and the Queen Mother went back to her bedroom to rest. She hasn't woken up yet. How could she have sent someone to look for you? Did something happen to Nanny Fang?"
Yun Gu was anxious. She thought something must have happened to her, but she had no enemies.
"...Madame Fang's mother, who is almost eighty, may not have much time left. Perhaps today. I'll arrange for someone to go to the Lin family on the outskirts of the city to check on them. If it's nothing serious, don't alert the Queen Mother."
Yun Gu sent the senior palace maid away, and then arranged for a trusted young eunuch to go to the Lin family to investigate.
Changchun Palace.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Lingyu has passed away. All the noble families in the capital have gone to pay their respects."
Cui Wan breathed a sigh of relief. This little bitch was finally dead.
But she felt a little regretful that she was too soft-hearted at the beginning!
When she was on the way to exile in the Xiao family, she was worried that the Xiao family would make a comeback because of Xiao Lingyu because of what Master Ci'en said, so she decided to kill Xiao Lingyu at that time.
Unexpectedly, the emperor married her off to a disabled and poor person halfway through.
She married a country bumpkin and it was impossible for her to be with Feng Jinyu. In the poor village, she would never have a chance to make a name for herself. Rather than killing her, it would be better to let her suffer.
Because of her kindness, her Cui family fell.
"Your Majesty, when will the eldest prince take action?"
Cui Wan lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, "Wait until the First Prince's Mansion relaxes its vigilance before taking action. It's better not to spread the news to Qinglian yet."
"Yes, my lady."
＊
Fewer and fewer officials came to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion to pay their respects. Su Xingyi was worried that the children would be tired, so he took them back to Youhuang Courtyard first.
The three little ones entered the room, picked up the probiotic vitamin C spring water prepared by Xiao Lingyu, and drank three large bowls in a row.
"Thank you for your hard work, kids. I'm sorry for making you suffer." Xiao Lingyu called the three children over and applied the eye patches he had prepared in advance to them.
"It won't be hard for mother. It's just that we have deceived all the dignitaries in the capital. If mother suddenly shows up, will we offend them?" Su Ningjie has met many dignitaries today.
"Second brother, don't worry, you won't offend them. Even if you do, they won't dare to complain. If you find out the real culprit behind the scenes, they will understand."
Su Ningwen nodded, "My sister is right. When the murderer behind this is found...the day when the truth comes out, they will only be shocked."
Once the father's identity is restored, the civil and military officials will treat the father with respect.
At this time, Nie Jiu's voice came from outside, "Your Highness, Lord Meng Gaoyang has something important to see you about. I have taken him to the Lakeside Pavilion."
"Daddy, I want to go with you."
Su Xingyi felt that there was no problem with Su Ningwen following him, "Xiao Yu, I'll leave the two children to you to take care of. I'll take Brother Wen over."
"Go ahead."
Meng Gaoyang looked at the shimmering lake thoughtfully.
Meng Chuan stood beside him, looking around. Su Xingyi and Su Ningwen entered his field of vision without him noticing.
"Sir, Prince Shun is here with the young master."
Meng Gaoyang quickly stood up, looked up, and seeing his demeanor, his guess became 80% certain.
"Greetings, Prince Shun."
"Master Meng, I've already told you that I'm Wen Ge'er's father. You don't need to be polite when you see me from now on." Su Xingyi helped Meng Gaoyang up. "I wonder why Master Meng wants to see me?"
"I think Prince Shun will personally arrest the person behind the murder of the princess."
Su Xingyi nodded, "That's right. If we don't find out who's behind this, it will be hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart."
"Prince Shun, you're new to the capital and may not know much about it." Meng Gaoyang pushed Meng Chuan in front of Su Xingyi. "This is my subordinate Meng Chuan. In the capital, he's a know-it-all."
"I, Meng Chuan, greet His Majesty and am willing to serve you and obey your orders!"
"Ah? ...Stop being polite." Su Xingyi looked at Meng Gaoyang, "I wonder what Master Meng means?"
"Meng Chuan will stay by your side until you find the murderer behind the scenes. I will serve you and command you. I hope you will accept my offer."
So it turns out that they were here to send someone off for him!
After all, Nie Ying and his friends grew up in Dongjun, and the information they could get in Beiyi was limited. Having a Beijing Baishitong would definitely help them get twice the result with half the effort.
"Okay, I will accept it."
