Chapter 676
Upon hearing the Second Prince's wife's words, the Second Prince paused, then put the pastry he was about to put in his mouth back down.
The Second Prince's wife was stunned by his actions.
"Did Wanwan send you to find me?"
“Of course not,” the Second Prince’s wife said. “I noticed that the child had something on his mind, and I asked him a few questions before I found out. I’m here now just because I can’t stand seeing that the child unhappy.”
The Second Prince sighed: "Wanwan doesn't know our current situation, but don't you know either?"
Meeting the bewildered gaze of the Second Prince's wife, the Second Prince sighed deeply.
Come to think of it, this whole thing is his fault.
For so many years, in order to avoid causing the Second Prince's wife any trouble, he kept everything from her. Now, in this predicament, he really has no one to blame but himself.
The second prince could only sigh and say, "I will try, but it may not work."
"With you personally taking charge, how could there be anything you couldn't accomplish?" the Second Prince's wife said with a smile.
The second prince gave a wry smile and did not reply.
He is the second prince, while the other is the eldest prince, and he also holds the title of the eldest son of the legitimate wife. Before he returns to the position of crown prince, he will probably only be able to sit on equal footing with the eldest prince.
The Second Prince's Consort didn't just think about her own happiness; she sent someone to inform Yun Wan.
Hearing that the Second Prince had indeed agreed, Yun Wan was secretly delighted, thinking that she had indeed made the right move.
As for the Second Prince's words, Yun Wan felt they were just polite formalities.
However, a few days later, instead of news of Su Zhengyu's safe release, the news that Su Zhengyu had died tragically in prison came.
This news caught everyone off guard.
When the news reached the Huo family, even Yunxi was taken aback.
"How did he die?"
"They said he suddenly fell ill in prison. He was fine the night before when the jailer gave him food, but when the jailer went to check on him the next day, he was already dead," Le'an said.
Yunxi frowned: "Is that all?"
That's far too efficient.
Le An nodded: "That's what they say to the outside world, but Jingzhao Prefecture is the territory of the First Prince, so Su Zhengyu's death is probably related to the First Prince."
"This is the First Prince's territory?!"
Le'an nodded again: "Yes."
Seeing Yunxi's surprise, Le'an couldn't help but ask, "Miss, you didn't know this before?"
"I...I don't know."
It really was a case of blind cat catching a dead mouse.
But for her, this is a good thing.
The Su family must be in complete chaos by now.
——
Just as Yunxi had predicted, when the news of Su Zhengyu's death reached Su's father's ears, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
The Su family was thrown into chaos. Five or six people went out to fetch doctors, and in the end, seven or eight doctors came. There was almost not enough room for Su's father to stand by his bedside.
Fortunately, despite the initial chaos, Su's father's condition eventually stabilized.
After a night, Su's father finally woke up slowly, but the light in his eyes had already faded.
His life wasn't exactly smooth sailing, but it was certainly one of great achievements. Unexpectedly, in his old age, his daughter went insane, and his son, who had taken over most of the family business, died...
Such a blow would be difficult for even a person in their prime to withstand, let alone an elderly person like Su's father.
So even though he woke up, the servants dared not say anything, for fear that saying the wrong thing would lead to someone's death.
