"I thought, as you said, my mother is still the wife of the general..."
"But you actually...!"
"How could you do such a thing? Don't you feel guilty about it?"
Her eyes were red, filled with anger and sadness.
That expression was so contagious that the people around who were whispering to each other before suddenly stopped talking unconsciously.
What exactly happened?
One of the eunuch leaders in the team sent by Emperor Jing to help stood up and said, "Miss Ling Wu, aren't you not allowed to come here? What's going on?"
This eunuch is just an ordinary eunuch, with only one thought in his mind.
The emperor sent him to lead the team to the general's residence to help with the funeral arrangements for the general's wife, but he kept saying that it must be done in a grand manner without any mistakes.
Now seeing Ling Yanran appear, with the same expression and words, I had a bad feeling in my heart.
After all, as someone who worked in the imperial palace, he had heard a lot about what was going on between the young ladies in the Ling Mansion.
But he quickly and carefully recalled it. He had witnessed the whole process and there would be no problem with the general's wife's funeral.
Therefore, I want to find out quickly and go to the right place to resolve the problem.
Why is he making such a fuss here? He will be going back to report soon!
I don't want to make any mistakes at this time!
"This eunuch..." Ling Yanran turned her gaze towards her, angrily, "Ask her! Ask my good third sister who is so hypocritical! Ask her what she did!"
The eunuch's eyes fell on Baili Feiyue, with a polite smile on his face, "Miss Ling San, do you think Miss Ling Wu has misunderstood something?"
Baili Feiyue was also puzzled, "Did the person I sent to take care of her do something wrong?"
He looked at Ling Yanran and said, "Fifth sister, what's wrong with you? If there is anything, can't you wait until I get back to talk about it?"
"Fifth sister? Are you really calling me Fifth Sister?!"
"Of course, you are my fifth sister, so what's so strange about me calling you that?"
"Okay! Very good! Since you still call me Fifth Sister, then what about my mother? What is my mother in your heart!"
"Of course it's the General's Mansion, one of the wives my father married in a formal ceremony."
After all, there was a lady who was briefly promoted and was on an equal footing with Li, although that lady passed away soon.
It would have been fine if she didn't mention it. As soon as she mentioned it, Ling Yanran's powerless fingers under her sleeves began to tremble uncontrollably!
That incident was also a big slap in the face for her failure!
He took a deep breath and said, "Since my mother is the wife that my father married in a formal ceremony, does she have the right to be buried in the Ling family's ancestral tomb?"
Ling Xue'er, who had been silent, spoke coldly, "Fifth sister, Madam Li has been buried here. What's your question?"
“Heh, heh, heh…”
Ling Yanran let out a series of sad laughs that made anyone who heard them sad and heard them cry.
"Burned in peace? Buried in peace?"
"Is it really my mother who is buried in here?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
When these words were spoken by the young ladies in the general's mansion, they immediately thought of all kinds of conspiracies and tricks.
"Third sister, I call you Third sister again! You said at the gate of the mansion that you would take good care of my mother's funeral and find someone to take care of me wholeheartedly. Was it just to cover up the fact that you would never let my mother enter the Ling family's ancestral tomb!"
"I thought you had really forgotten the past to some extent... How could I be so naive!!"
Although it made no sense, the eunuch's bad premonition became even stronger.
Sure enough, Ling Yanran said, "If it wasn't for a servant who had received a little favor from my mother and wanted to quietly say goodbye and thank her for the little favor she had done him, and accidentally discovered this secret, my mother would have been buried in the wilderness for the rest of her life without even knowing it!"
"How can you be so cruel to be so mean to a deceased person! You would rather bury a stranger's body in the Ling family's ancestral tomb than avenge my mother by throwing her to who knows where!"
What!
Everyone present was shocked!
If this is true, then it is really...
Before Baili Feiyue could say anything, Ling Xueer frowned slightly and her tone became even colder, "Fifth sister, what nonsense are you talking about. It's Madam Li inside. I saw the coffin being loaded with my own eyes!"
Ling Yanran was already extremely sad, and she was even more emotional after hearing this. "With her methods, it would be easy for her to switch the names! Or are you an accomplice?"
Without waiting for Ling Xue'er to speak, he looked at the eunuch again, "Eunuch, you were sent by the emperor, and the emperor also promised in person to take good care of my mother's funeral! But they pretended to obey, and insulting my mother was one of the reasons, and most importantly, they were disobeying the emperor's order!"
The father-in-law also looked solemn.
Look at Ling Yanran, then look at Ling Jing.
Whether this is true or not, it is difficult to deal with.
Miss Ling Wu is now the mother of King Qi's child. King Qi now seems to be the most likely person to ascend to that position in the end.
Third Miss Ling is now also gaining fame. No matter what the Emperor thinks in his heart, at least he is treating her well on the surface.
You can't afford to offend either side!
"Ms. Ling Wu, this is quite serious. Do you have any evidence?"
"Of course I do!"
Soon after the words were spoken, a man stepped forward timidly with his head lowered.
"This eunuch, I didn't want to believe it at first! You can ask him, he is the one who discovered it! If he hadn't been unable to get over the guilt in his heart and came to tell me secretly, I would have really thought that my mother was buried in peace!"
The eunuch looked calm and looked at the man who walked forward.
The man knelt down and said, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The person in the coffin was indeed not Madam Li!"
"Asshole! How dare you, a servant, open Madam Li's coffin and take a look!" Ling Xue'er said coldly, "If you want to harm someone, use your brain first!"
The man trembled and kowtowed again, "Eighth Miss, I didn't open it on purpose. It was an accident. I was too sad and lost my balance, so I accidentally opened it..."
What he said was indeed true. All the servants in the mansion had been replaced by Aunt Lan.
He was not considered Mrs. Li's man, and he only entered the mansion a year ago.
At that time, Madam Li was celebrating the fifth young lady's birthday. She was so happy that she rewarded all the servants in the mansion with money, and the outer servants also received two strings of coins.
He was just a handyman in the outer courtyard. He was not Madam Li's confidant and he even had few opportunities to meet her.
But these two strings of cash saved his elderly mother's life.
He was truly grateful; Mrs. Li was truly his benefactor.
When Madam Li got into trouble before, although he was worried about his benefactor, his benefactor had indeed done something wrong, and he, a peripheral servant, was truly powerless.
He was really sad when Mrs. Li came back this time.
Because I thought I had no chance to repay the favor.
Everything he said is true!
Not a single word of falsehood!
He had indeed gone to worship secretly and accidentally bumped into it!
