Chapter 88, Crying in the Marquis' Mansion
"Yes." The palace maid asked no more questions and left with several martial arts masters.
"Aunt, what happened to you?"
Princess Yan'er stepped forward to support her. She knew that they were under a curse the moment they put on the talisman.
But it shouldn't break out so quickly.
The eldest princess' face was distorted, and her nails dug into the palms of her hands.
"Why didn't everyone in the Xu family die? The late emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty dared to shelter them. Where did he put the face of our country!"
At the beginning, the late emperor promised her that this matter would be solved secretly.
Why are there still descendants of the Xu family today?
Why are those descendants who know her shameful history still alive in this world?
She is a princess of a country, and she has suffered such a great humiliation for two years. Now twenty years have passed, and someone told her that the person who hurt her is still alive!
She thought that she had washed away the shame after returning to her country.
Unexpectedly, she never expected it.
Most of her life was shrouded by that stain, which could not be shaken off.
Princess Yan'er was shocked. She was only seventeen years old now and had no idea what had happened to her aunt in the past.
She only heard that her aunt came to the Great Xia Dynasty twenty years ago and then disappeared for two years before she was found.
It seemed that a lot of things must have happened in those two years, which caused her aunt to collapse like this.
She tried her best to comfort her, "Aunt, now is not the time to collapse. Wu Mo's curse was used on us. You have to ask him to find a way to solve it for us. Otherwise, if we die, how are you going to take revenge!"
She said a lot more, and the princess slowly regained her sanity.
The princess murmured, "Call Wu Mo quickly."
Night.
A room in the embassy was heavily guarded. Taoist Wu Mo helped them to remove the curse. Both of them almost lost half their lives due to the pain.
Taoist Wu Mo still failed to remove it in one go.
He said, "Princess, please be patient. This curse was cast by my master. It will take some time."
"How long will it take?" The eldest princess glared at him and asked.
"Probably one or two months." Taoist Wu Mo lowered his head silently. Since he cast this spell, he had never thought about removing the curse.
The Queen Mother and the Concubine Dowager have used them up, and they will die.
What does it have to do with their Nanmei Kingdom?
"What?" The
eldest princess, who finally felt relieved a little, felt severe pain all over her body again.
This pain lasted until dawn.
They didn't dare to think that they would have to spend every night like this for the next month.
How painful it would be.
In the early morning, when the sun just came out, the eldest princess went to wash and change her clothes.
The people who were sent out came back, and they brought back a woman who was covered in wounds and dying.
"Did any commotion happen?"
"No, it was Princess Yaner who came up with a plan and asked us to kill a woman randomly on the street." A palace maid replied,
"We scratched the woman's face, threw her into the prison, and swapped this person out. We also pretended that she committed suicide out of fear of crime, so no one could recognize her."
"Well, it was done well."
After all, she was from the Great Xia Dynasty, not from their Nanmei Kingdom.
It was an honor for her to die a worthy death.
When the princess saw Xu Rourou lying paralyzed on the ground, she gritted her teeth and asked, "What did she do to be tortured like this?"
"Princess, it is said that she stole the previous emperor's golden medal of immunity from death to save her father, and was detained and interrogated by the current emperor." The maid replied. The
princess stepped forward and kicked her, snorting coldly,
"Stupid, your father is such a rubbish, and you dare to steal the golden medal of immunity from death to save him. The people in the Xu family are really all rotten mud, a family of bastards!"
"Princess, her hands are boned, her back and body are all tortured, and she is only one breath left. What should we do with her?" The maid asked.
"Find a doctor, don't let her die."
A trace of vicious light flashed in the princess' eyes.
It would be too easy for her to die now.
She wants to make everyone in their Xu family live a life worse than death.
///
A few days later, the Marquis' Mansion received the news that Aunt Xu committed suicide out of fear of crime.
The body was sent to the Marquis' Mansion.
Li and Xu Xinbo hurried over with the old lady, and they were shocked to see this.
"Silly child, the people of Nanmei Kingdom have come to Beijing, and your good days are coming. Why do you want to commit suicide out of fear of crime?"
The old lady cried and couldn't speak.
Xu Rourou died. Will their Marquis' Mansion always be like this?
Jing'an Marquis has been in charge of the overall situation for so many years, and now he is going to lose everything?
"Mother-in-law, Rourou doesn't have the blessing to be the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. It's useless for you to be so sad!" Li comforted.
"Rourou is my sister, and she is my only relative. Madam, please let the old lady cry."
Xu Xinbo's eyes were wet, and more of it was unwillingness to do so.
He clenched his hands so tightly that veins popped out.
Liu Wan had clearly promised to rescue Rourou, so why did Rourou die in prison!
It's all Liu Wan's fault! It's all Liu Wan's fault!
Xie Jinan hurried over, and his eyes turned red when he saw the corpse covered with white cloth.
The woman who had treated him sincerely, the woman who often praised his bravery and had childhood sweetheart memories.
Dead.
Xie Jinan knelt in front of the corpse, covering his face and trembling.
Xie Jinqiu and his wife also came, and seeing this, they only advised people to mourn.
Xie Jinzhao and Li Duoduo, who came later, were all shocked by the corpse wrapped in white cloth.
Liu Wan also came. In order not to scare Wan Wan, she did not take care of the child. The old lady and Xu Xinpu scolded her like crazy.
"Now that Rourou is dead, are you satisfied?"
"You clearly promised to save her life, Liu Wan, I really didn't expect you to be such a person!"
Xu Xinpu's eyes were red, and he wanted to take action.
But as soon as he rushed forward, he was silently grabbed by Qingsheng, and he couldn't move at all.
"You are not allowed... to approach... the grandmother." Qingsheng lowered his head and said silently.
Liu Wan's face was indifferent. She ordered people to close the door and dismissed the extra servants.
She said to everyone, "Don't you look, is this Aunt Xu?"
Xu Xinpu was stunned.
What does Liu Wan mean by this.
Seeing everyone's slow reaction, Liu Wan stepped forward and tried to lift the white cloth, but her hand was grabbed by Xie Jinan.
"Enough!"
"Liu Wan, she's dead, what else do you want? Rourou has been gentle and sensible all her life. She just wanted to save her father. Not only did you not save her, you also did this..."
Xie Jinan's eyes were red until the moment Rourou died.
He knew who his heart was with.
He was too greedy, and he wanted Liu Wan's life experience, knowledge, and gentleness. He also wanted his childhood sweetheart Bai Yueguang to accompany him by his pillow.
Now that Xu Rourou is dead, it has undoubtedly become the biggest regret in his heart and a cinnabar mole engraved on the tip of his heart.
If he had known earlier, he would not have brought her home.
It would be better if he had a family outside to run around, which is better than the current result.
Liu Wan shook off his hand and said to the old lady, "Old lady, I have done this, please keep your promise."
"Keep your promise? Rourou is dead, Liu Wan, how can you be so shameless..." Li scolded her.
The old lady was calm for a moment, raised her hand to stop everyone, "Quick, open it and see if it is Rourou inside."
