Ni Yueshan took a look at the key and took it with complicated eyes. Being in charge of household affairs was not what she expected, but she would not refuse.
After the housekeeper handed over the keys and left, Ren Mei sighed beside him and said, "Mrs. Tian is gone. I wonder what will happen when the young master comes back."
*
When Ni Hongbo in the palace learned of Tian You's death, he took a leave of absence that day and went to Tian You's house to visit Tian You.
Tian You's body had been neatly dressed and placed in the hall. Servants knelt beside her and cried. Ni Hongbo, trembling a little, walked over slowly. When he saw the body, he could no longer suppress his grief. He knelt on the ground and called out loudly, "Mother, mother, don't scare Hongbo, wake up soon!"
He had only been back in the palace for a few days when Tian You was murdered!
He was kicked out of the house, divorced, and killed!
If someone hadn't done it on purpose, he wouldn't have believed it!
"Where's Dad? What can I say, Dad? My mother is dead, so why don't you let someone bring her body over?"
The servant beside him said somewhat depressedly: "Master, Aunt Tian has been divorced..."
"I am still the eldest son of the Ni family. How can my mother be divorced and kicked out of the house?"
Ni Hongbo roared, his heart filled with indignation. His eyes were bloodshot as he stood up and said, "Now, immediately, put my mother's body into the coffin. I want to take my mother back to the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
After nightfall, the gate to the Prime Minister's Mansion was already closed. Ni Hongbo had Tian You's body brought outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. He personally walked forward and began to knock on the door vigorously: "Someone, come quickly! This young master is back!"
The door was quickly opened, and when the servant saw Ni Hongbo coming back, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Master, you are not..."
When the servant saw the coffin behind Ni Hongbo, he was stunned: "Master, this doesn't make sense. Aunt Tian is a divorced woman."
Ni Hongbo grabbed the servant by the collar and demanded, "What you're saying is unreasonable. Am I not the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion? Can't I bring my own mother back?"
Seeing Ni Hongbo's bloodshot eyes and the expression on his face that made him want to beat him up, the servant quickly begged for mercy, "Yes, I know I was wrong. I will report this to the master right away."
"What is there to report? I brought my mother back, do I need to report anything? Get lost!"
After pushing the servants away, Ni Hongbo ordered them to quickly carry Tian You's body into the prime minister's residence.
Although Ni Gaofei had already fallen asleep, the servant still reported the news to him: "Master, the eldest young master ordered people to carry Tian Yi Niang's coffin directly into the prime minister's residence..."
Ni Gaofei frowned on the bed and opened his eyes. Why couldn't he have two days of peace?
"Report this to Yueshan. I have nothing to do with this matter!"
His serious and unhappy voice echoed in the room. The servants did not dare to say anything more and just did as Ni Gaofei asked.
In the courtyard, Ni Hongbo ordered his servants to quickly set up a mourning hall to comfort Tian You's soul in heaven.
A voice sounded not far away: "Brother, you knew that Tian You had been divorced, but you still insisted on bringing the body back. Do you think Tian You's body brings good luck, or do you think that Dad's words are useless?"
"I am the eldest son of the Xiangfu, and my mother gave birth to me. I brought my mother's body back. What's wrong with that?"
"Dad asked me to manage the Prime Minister's Mansion, but you insisted on sending Tian You's body into the mansion. Big brother, you can't blame me for being ruthless and merciless!"
Ni Yueshan said this with disdain, and then ordered the servants: "Carry the coffin of Concubine Tian to Yu Shu Pavilion. Also, since the eldest young master likes the divorced Tian You so much as his mother and wants to hold Tian You's funeral in the Prime Minister's Mansion, then go and inform the people of the Tian family that Tian You has died and invite them to attend the funeral."
"Yushu Pavilion will be the Tian family's residence. Come on over if you want. You're welcome!"
Ni Hongbo looked at Ni Yueshan with red eyes: "You are really good, forcing me to treat the Xiangfu as the Tian family. Do you want to sow discord between my father and me?"
"Father is not a heartless person. My mother held a certain status in his eyes. She died and was divorced. Father cannot be so heartless as to not allow mother's coffin to be carried into the Prime Minister's residence."
Ni Hongbo insisted, pointing to the courtyard exit: "You can leave now, get out."
Ni Yueshan chuckled. Ni Hongbo must have felt that Tian You’s death was closely related to her, and he had no good face for her at all. Ni Yueshan didn’t care at all and walked away calmly.
Qingdie followed Ni Yueshan and said, "Miss, as long as you give the order, I will go and deal with the young master!"
