Calling her Miss Cousin, she must be from the Yao family. Feng Yuheng and the others left the tavern reluctantly. Xuan Tianming wanted to accompany her to the Yao Mansion, but she refused and said, "I can handle this kind of family affairs at midnight by myself. Don't get involved. It's embarrassing."
Xuan Tianming nodded, "If you say so, it's true when you think about it. Never mind, Seventh Brother and I will send Xiangrong back first." Looking back, Xiangrong was being supported by Xuan Tianhua. He was drunk and talking nonsense. Sometimes he called him "Seventh Prince" and sometimes he yelled "Xuan Tianyi, you bastard". It was really unbearable to watch.
Feng Yuheng waved his hand, "Hurry up, don't let Xiangrong get into trouble."
The few of them separated in front of the tavern, and Feng Yuheng got on the carriage brought by the Yao family's servants and rushed back.
At this time, at the gate of the Yao Mansion, the left prime minister Lu Song came in person, accompanied by a group of servants, carrying a fine coffin and talking to Yao Jingjun, the eldest son of the Yao family. Lu Song said, "My daughter died tragically. I heard that the Yao family actually set up the mourning hall in the side room, and have not brought the coffin in until now. I don't know why the Yao family did this, but as Yao'er's father, I should do something for her. This mahogany coffin is a gift from our Lu family to the Yao family!"
The words were polite, but who couldn't understand the hidden meaning in these words! This clearly meant that the Yao family was unfair to Lu Yao, and also pointed out that the Yao family couldn't even afford a coffin and had to ask her family to send it.
But Yao Jingjun ignored him and told Lu Song in a serious manner: "It is set up in the side hall because the cause of Lu Yao's death is still under investigation by the government. The exact cause of this accident needs further investigation. After the government investigates and clears Lu Yao, the Yao family will move the mourning hall to the main hall. Also, as for the coffin, we have also prepared it, and someone is making it, but we are not as fast as Lord Lu." He raised his hand while speaking and ordered the servants: "Send the coffin sent by Lord Lu to the mourning hall." Then he clasped his fists towards Prime Minister Lu and said: "I'm sorry to have cost you Prime Minister Lu. The mahogany coffin that the Yao family is making is just ordinary material. We are really not as rich as the Lu family. However, our Yao family has been exiled to the deserted state for many years, but we can't compare to the Lu family who have been operating in the capital for many years and accumulated a lot of wealth."
Lu Song's face turned red and white, and he simply threw his sleeves and shouted angrily: "I won't talk to you. Go and ask your father Yao Xian to come out!"
Yao Jingjun was puzzled. "According to seniority, Prime Minister Lu and I are relatives. We are of the same generation, and my father is the elder. Why would a funeral of a younger generation disturb my father so late at night? He is not in good health and has already gone to bed."
"Go to bed?" Lu Song was furious. "Such a big thing happened at home, and he can still sleep?"
Yao Jingjun also frowned and said in a cold voice: "Prime Minister Lu, although I have no official position, it does not mean that I have to be afraid in front of you. My Yao family has always been upright. Today, the daughter of the Lu family died, why can't my Yao family sleep? If you have something to discuss, I will also stand in front of you, but what does this have to do with my father? Do you want the elders of the Yao family to guard the mourning hall of your daughter of the Lu family?"
Lu Song also knew that his accusations against Yao Xian were untenable, and he didn't want to come here in the first place. But today Lu Yao got into trouble, and the Yao family treated him like this. He really couldn't bear it! In addition, Lu Yao's body is still in the government, and the Yao family didn't go to get it back. What's this?
He glared at Yao Jingjun fiercely and made a demand to him: "You, the Yao family, must take back Yao'er's body! No matter what, she is the daughter-in-law of the Yao family!"
Yao Jingjun shook his head, "There's nothing I can do."
"you……"
"Me what?" Yao Jingjun looked at Lu Song in confusion. "You are a left prime minister of the first rank, and you can't get the body back from Jingzhao Yin. What can I do as a civilian with no official rank?"
"Yao Jingjun!" Lu Song yelled angrily, "Don't refuse a toast and then drink a forfeit. Everyone knows that Xu Jingyuan listens to Feng Yuheng. She is from your Yao family, so naturally it is your Yao family that should have the final say!"
"Who is calling this princess's name directly?" Suddenly, a life-threatening voice came from behind. Feng Yuheng got off the carriage and stood in front of the left prime minister Lu Song. Lu Song was so frightened that he subconsciously took two steps back.
"Yao Jingjun, you're looking for help?" Lu Song didn't say anything, but suddenly said this. Feng Yuheng's sudden appearance made him a little confused. He had already found out that Feng Yuheng was watching the lanterns on the street with the Ninth and Seventh Princes, so why did he come back at such a short time?
"What do you mean by looking for help?" Yao Jingjun looked at Lu Song with disdain, "Ah Heng is my niece. She is originally the daughter of the Yao family. How can she be considered a helper?"
"That's right." Huang Quan interrupted, "It's only natural that my young lady is in charge of the Yao family's affairs, so how can she become a helper? Besides--" She stared at Lu Song, "Who was the one who kept calling Feng Yuheng Feng Yuheng just now? You were the one who mentioned him first, and you called him first. Why, now that my young lady is standing in front of you, are you scared?"
Lu Song was so angry that his heart was boiling with anger. He pointed his finger at Huang Quan and said, "You are just a slave. Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this?"
Huang Quan said nothing. In terms of status, she was indeed not qualified, but Feng Yuheng took over the words for her - "I myself couldn't bear to beat or scold the maid that Prince Yu's Mansion sent to me. What right do you have to discipline servants for His Royal Highness Prince Yu? Why don't I... why don't I send someone to call His Royal Highness Prince Yu over, and you scold this girl in front of him?"
Lu Song was so exhausted that he almost fell backwards, but he really didn't want to confront Feng Yuheng directly, so he could only say angrily: "What are you saying, Princess? I dare not."
"What is there for Prime Minister Lu to be afraid of?" She looked at Lu Song, "This is the gate of the Yao family. You have already extended your hand to the Yao family. What is there for you to be afraid of? Oh, if I heard correctly, you were planning to make a scene at the government office just now?"
"When did this happen?" Lu Song stamped his feet anxiously. When did he say he would make a scene at the government office? He just wanted to get Lu Yao's body back. He didn't care much about that daughter, especially after Lu Yao ruined Lu Ping's face, he hated her even more. But no matter how unhappy he was, she was his daughter after all. If he left her body in the government office and let Xu Jingyuan investigate, how could the Lu family save face? "The princess must have misunderstood." He tried to speak calmly to Feng Yuheng, "I just love my daughter so much and didn't want to make a scene at the government office. But the Lu family didn't go to get Yao'er's body back, and they set up the mourning hall in the side hall. I just want to ask, why is that?"
"Doesn't Prime Minister Lu know?" Feng Yuheng explained to him, "A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. If she is not treated badly by her husband's family, it means she is unlucky. If Prime Minister Lu insists that the Yao family's behavior is inappropriate, then why not set up Lu Yao's mourning hall at the Lu family? If you want to set up a main hall, set up a main hall. If you want to set up a side hall, set up a side hall. You can set up as much pomp and circumstance as you want. How do you think?"
"You..." Lu Song was once again speechless.
But Feng Yuheng continued, "As long as the Lu family sets up the mourning hall, this princess will ask the Jingzhao Yin for a favor and get Lu Yao's body back. But once that happens, it means that Lu Yao will return to the Lu family and have no connection with the Yao family anymore. The Yao family will make up a divorce letter, and from now on, the two families will be even."
"No!" Lu Song was shocked. "Princess, it is a great shame for a woman to be divorced. Yao'er did nothing wrong, and her death was an accident. The Yao family has no reason to divorce her!"
Feng Yuheng smiled, "Lord Prime Minister Lu, please don't be too sure about what's right and wrong. The body is still in the government office. Jingzhao Yin Xu Jingyuan is a famous judge. Who knows what he will find out. As for the Yao family divorcing her, this is your Lu family's idea! Don't you think the Yao family didn't hold a decent funeral? So the Lu family had to take her back and hold it themselves. A married daughter returns to her parents' home to hold a funeral, which only means that she has no husband's family, and her husband's family is still there, so there is only one way, which is to be divorced." She shrugged, "So you see, it's all your own will, and we are just cooperating."
Lu Song felt that he and Feng Yuheng couldn't make sense at all. This princess and the Ninth Prince were of the same character. They had their own factions, their own countries, and even their own ways. No matter what happened, they could always come up with their own reasons. He was also stupid. Why was he standing here and reasoning with the Ninth Prince's wife? Wasn't this asking for trouble?
Therefore, Lu Song decided not to pay any more attention to Feng Yuheng, and only said to Yao Jingjun: "Go and call Yao Shu out. Yao Xian is the elder, and he, Yao Shu, is always the younger, right? Even now, he still wants to call me father-in-law. I want to see him. If you stop me again, it will be the fault of the Yao family."
Yao Jingjun nodded, "Of course, Prime Minister Lu is right." After that, he ordered the servants around him, "Go and call the young master."
The servant hurried away, and soon Yao Shu walked out of the mansion.
His wife died today. Although Yao Shu was already disillusioned with Lu Yao, she was the person he had been with for such a long time after all, and her sudden death made him feel emotional even if he was not sad.
Yao Shu was very polite. He greeted Lu Song and then heard Lu Song ask, "My dear son-in-law, Yao'er had an accident today. I want to know what your attitude is towards this matter?"
Yao Shu frowned slightly. He had expected the Lu family to come knocking on his door, but he had not expected it to happen so soon. On the night of August 15th, no one could spend the night in peace.
He had already made plans in his mind, and he was not afraid of this question. He just bowed and said, "Since my father-in-law wants an attitude, then I will give the Lu family an attitude. Today, Lu Yao and my mother fell into the water together, and we have learned that Lu Yao is a very good swimmer, and he would never be trapped so helplessly because of a small lotus pond. Therefore, we suspect that Lu Yao fell into the water intentionally, and my mother was used by him and deliberately dragged into the water. In this regard, the Yao family has decided to report the case!"
