Xiahou Chongyuan could understand Madam Hou, so he waved his hand and sent away the two guards who were blocking her.

"Madam, if you want justice, you must have solid evidence. Sometimes, what you see may not be what you think."

After saying that, Xiahou Chongyuan asked Liu Yue to light a stick of incense for him, and then asked her to push him out of the mourning hall.

The Marquis's wife was like a lunatic, and it was impossible to reason with her. Besides, the purpose of his coming here today was not to reason with this woman.

He came just to confirm one thing.

——Mo Weixin, is she dead or not?

Of course, he would not openly ask people to check the body for any abnormalities in front of the mourning hall in public. He could only wait and see when Mo Weixin was buried.

If she really wasn't dead, she wouldn't have been buried as usual.

"You can't leave!"

However, he didn't expect that the Marquis's wife was determined to ask him for an explanation today. Seeing Liu Yue pushing him out, she actually crawled after him and blocked his way.

The usually dignified and scholarly wife of the Marquis now acted like a mad woman, grabbing onto the wheelchair and shouting and yelling.

She called Xiahou Chongyuan by his name, and every word she said was a request for justice, and every word she said showed that she wanted to repay Song Qingxue's life.

Xiahou Chongyuan looked at her coldly, "Madam Hou, do you know that calling me by my name is a crime of disrespect?"

He was really annoyed to deal with such a crazy woman, so he had to use his own status to pressure her.

Upon hearing this, Madam Hou suddenly calmed down.

Seeing that her grip on the wheelchair loosened a little, Liu Yue quickly stepped forward and pulled her away.

"You!" Madam Hou suddenly pushed Liu Yue, stood up unsteadily, pointed her finger at Xiahou Chongyuan, and yelled, "Xiahou Chongyuan! You are simply going against your conscience! Heaven and earth can bear witness to how Xin'er treats you! How could you betray her like this? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?!"

"What are you arguing about?" Without waiting for Xiahou Chongyuan to say anything, Marquis Anding walked over quickly with his hands behind his back.

She glared at Madam Hou with an extremely unhappy expression, and said mercilessly, "Today is the day Wei Xin is buried. As her mother, why are you making a fuss in front of her mourning hall?"

Facing the Marquis of Anding, the Marquis's wife was obviously not as angry as before. "I just want to seek justice for Xin'er!"

"Alright! Hurry up and go in." Marquis Anding said in a low voice, then turned to Xiahou Chongyuan and said in a slightly slower tone: "Chongyuan, my wife is only losing control of her emotions because she lost her beloved daughter. Don't treat her like that."

"Won't."

"In that case, please follow me to the front hall for a cup of tea."

Xiahou Chongyuan looked at him inquiringly and nodded.

Marquis Anding was naturally in no mood to drink tea before his beloved daughter was about to be buried. After calling Xiahou Chongyuan to the front hall, he sent all the servants away, and then closed the door before speaking to Xiahou Chongyuan.

"Chongyuan, what do you think about the matter that I asked Bai Song to come to the palace to talk to you about a few days ago?"

Although Xiahou Chongyuan clearly refused, in order to fulfill his beloved daughter's last wish, Marquis Anding had no choice but to replace this refusal with consideration.

When Marquis Anding called him to the front hall for tea, Xiahou Chongyuan had already guessed what he was going to do, but he didn't expect that he would go straight to the point without any detours.

Xiahou Chongyuan did not answer immediately. Instead, after hearing the question, he stared at the Marquis for a long time before speaking.

"This title cannot be given to me."

Marquis Anding frowned immediately, and his face, which had already been marked by many traces of time, seemed to have aged a few years in an instant.

"Chongyuan, I know this request is indeed a bit unreasonable."

As he spoke, he observed Xiahou Chongyuan's expression. Seeing that his expression did not change, he continued, "You should know that Wei Xin has always been in love with you all these years. She has waited for you until this age and has never married. Now she is dead. As a father, I am doing this to fulfill her wish."

"So Chongyuan, I beg you to give Wei Xin a status so that she can fulfill her wish and have a good journey."

After hearing this, Xiahou Chongyuan was silent for a moment, and then he couldn't help but laugh.

"My Lord, regarding the death of Princess Changle, I will definitely give you the best explanation, but if you want me to grant her a title, I'm sorry I can't do it."

Now he understood that the position of princess was not to be exchanged for benefits, nor could it be used as a favor to anyone.

He has the best candidate for the princess in his mind, so he doesn't plan to let anyone else take the position of princess.

"Chongyuan, do you really not care about your old relationship with Wei Xin at all?" Marquis Anding's tone was a little angry, but he was the Marquis Anding after all, and he couldn't act like the marquis' wife and disregard his image. He could only stare at Xiahou Chongyuan with eyes filled with anger.

Xiahou Chongyuan heard too much about old love today, and he felt a little annoyed.

His face turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "I hope you can understand, my lord. If you don't care about our old friendship, I won't even give you an explanation!"

Xiahou Chongyuan's words were naturally very chilling to Anding Hou, but he could do nothing except being angry.

Xiahou Chongyuan held great power in the court, and although he had a certain amount of military force, it was not enough to threaten him. Moreover, he could not easily say something about rebellion.

Although he loved his daughter, he did not love her so much that he would risk his own life just to gain a status for his dead daughter.

Besides, his love for Mo Weixin was not simply because she was his daughter.

If the children of a noble family want to be favored, they must be outstanding and useful.

Mo Weixin did it without a doubt. As a useful daughter, she naturally received her father's favor, but this favor was only based on her usefulness.

Marquis Anding allowed her to remain unmarried because he believed that she would be able to enter the Regent's Palace and become the supreme Regent Princess.

And now that she is dead, Marquis Anding would ask for such a title for her, which would only be a waste of her last usefulness.

If you don't have the ability to enter the palace while you are alive, then you can ask for the title of princess based on our years of friendship after you die.

Anyway, the dead don't need face, so it doesn't matter how Mo Weixin got the title of princess. As long as he goes out, everyone knows that he is the regent's father-in-law.

As long as he has such a title, he will be able to succeed much more smoothly in the court.

After all, his willingness to expend so much energy on this matter was merely paving the way for himself.

The Regent is such a big piece of fat meat, who wouldn’t want to have a piece of it if given the chance?

After all, supreme power is so enviable. Since he is already a high-ranking official, why not work hard to become the one above everyone else?

But he didn't expect that Xiahou Chongyuan would disregard their old friendship and refuse to give in no matter how much he tried to persuade him!

Xiahou Chongyuan didn't say anything more to Marquis Anding. He shouted Liuyue in the hall, and when Liuyue came in, he asked her to push him out.

When crossing the threshold, Xiahou Chongyuan felt a little annoyed when he saw Liu Yue's somewhat laborious movements.

Pretending to be disabled is sometimes really troublesome.

I just hope Xiahou Chun can reveal his true colors as soon as possible so that he can stand up and walk independently in front of people.
