The news of the Fourth Prince's wife's death really caught Du Jingyi by surprise.

Wasn't he fine the last time we saw him? But now, after such a short time, he's gone?

Old Madam Gu had seen many separations of life and death, so although she was a little surprised by the news, she quickly adjusted herself and said to Du Jingyi.

"You and your sister-in-law can go over and take a look. I'll take care of Brother Tai, don't worry."

"Yes, Grandmother."

If Shang Ji was at home, then Shang Ji and Du Jingyi would go together, but he was still training troops in the camp and had not returned yet, so Madam Gu asked Du Jingyi and her eldest sister-in-law Liu to go together.

My eldest sister-in-law Liu is now a person with an imperial decree, so it is only right for her to go to the Fourth Prince's mansion with Du Jingyi to pay her respects.

The two of them then boarded the carriage that had just been unloaded and headed straight for the Fourth Prince's residence.

On the way, both of them looked confused, so the sister-in-law lowered her voice and spoke.

"An accident? What kind of accident could it be?"

Du Jingyi shook her head. She couldn't say what had happened before she knew the whole story, but her intuition told her that there must be huge interests involved. After all, the Fourth Prince's wife was the legitimate daughter of the Pingding Marquis's Mansion, how could she die just like that?

The Pingding Marquis' Mansion is probably in even worse trouble than outsiders like them.

The carriage slowly arrived at the gate of the Fourth Prince's mansion. This was Du Jingyi's first visit. Unexpectedly, the visit was not for a banquet but for a funeral. Du Jingyi was really sad.

After exchanging a glance with sister-in-law Liu, the two of them went in together.

When they arrived at the front hall, they saw that the mourning hall had been set up and there were a lot of people crying inside. Du Jingyi was still wondering whether he should shed a few tears to express his condolences, but he never expected that someone from the Guo family had also come.

The ones who came were Madam Guo San and Madam Feng Shao, and they both looked unhappy.

Although everyone knew that the Eastern Palace and the Fourth Prince were incompatible, they should still come to see the death of a prince's wife, so the families of all the civil and military officials in the court came at this time.

This naturally includes the Duke's Mansion, Prince Fu's Mansion and the Wei Family.

When meeting Madam Wei, Du Jingyi and her elder sister-in-law Liu simply bowed. Even though the conflict between the Duke's Mansion and the General's Mansion was known to everyone, when it was time to behave, Du Jingyi would not let anyone point out their problems.

It's a pity that no one took them seriously.

The Princess of Fu glanced at the two of them, her eyes filled with indifference and a hint of complacency. Du Jingyi was still puzzled. Someone had died in the Fourth Prince's mansion, so why was the Princess of Fu so proud? She saw that Silang's wife and Wei Jialian, who were standing next to her, also had hostility in their eyes.

The Gu family and the Wei family are in a situation where they will fight to the death.

The four people in front of me are all from the Wei family, and each one is more hateful than the other.

Du Jingyi was busy staring at Silang's wife, but Mrs. Wei bypassed Du Jingyi and stared at her sister-in-law Liu. The look in her eyes seemed as if she wanted to eat her alive, which made people shudder with fear.

Seeing this, the eldest sister-in-law Liu couldn't help but take a small step back, her heart beating very nervously. Fortunately, she listened to her grandmother, Old Madam Gu, and didn't let Ping'er come back at this time. Otherwise, with the abilities of them and their son, something bad would happen within half a year after they returned to the Duke's Mansion.

Seeing the white banners hanging everywhere in the Fourth Prince's mansion, sister-in-law Liu felt a sense of dreadful slowness.

Du Jingyi, on the other hand, stood in front of his sister-in-law Liu without saying a word, and when he looked at Madam Wei, he did not show any fear.

The people protected by the Gu family are not the ones for Mrs. Wei to threaten here with her power.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wei did not insist any further, but sneered and shifted her attention. It was their turn to go into the house to express condolences, so she entered the hall with Princess Fu, Silang's wife, and Wei Jialian beside her.

When Mrs. Feng Shao, who was standing next to Mrs. Guo San, saw this scene, she couldn't help but complain.

"In this situation, any girl from another family would stay at home to avoid suspicion. But the Wei family is so capable that they don't even let the girls go."

The person she was talking about was naturally Wei Jialian.

After being reminded by Madam Feng Shao, Du Jingyi glanced around and realized that the people who came were indeed the wives who were the mistress of the house or the women who were married and had children, and there were no girls.

Wei Jialian was the first one to come, but she had a lot of excuses. She said that she happened to be a guest at Prince Fu's mansion and rushed here when she heard the news. It was hard to accuse her of any fault.

But Du Jingyi looked her up and down and found that she was particularly charming today, which was different from her usual bright and flamboyant appearance, and she was unique.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

In an instant, Du Jingyi remembered the look in Wei Jialian's eyes when the Seventh Prince married Miss Zhao a few days ago. He stared at their figures thoughtfully, wanting to see what these people were up to! In the mourning hall, the people with mournful expressions were all from Pingding Marquis's Mansion.

The marquis's wife and her daughters-in-law all cried extremely sadly. There was real pain of losing a daughter in their hearts, but of course there were other factors as well. It was rare for the family to have a prince's wife and a legitimate eldest son. Although the child was not in good health, he still had a position.

Moreover, my daughter and the Fourth Prince were a loving couple. If time allowed, they would have a chance to have another son. But now, my daughter is gone, and this easy opportunity is gone too.

There was only one fragile child left. Even if the Pingding Marquis's Mansion sent a thousand or ten thousand people to guard her day and night, they might not be able to protect the child. Therefore, not only did their daughter die, but the family's interests were also damaged. How could they not be sad?

The Fourth Prince was sitting on a rosewood chair nearby, looking quite decadent. He looked like a completely different person from the high-spirited man he used to be. Anyone who saw him would say that it was a love story between a man and a woman, and a husband would grieve over the loss of his wife.

"My sister, please accept my condolences. If she knew about this, she would be sad and uneasy to see you like this."

The one who spoke to comfort her was Concubine Ying. She had been in the palace for many years and could be considered the oldest person to enter the palace except for the Fourth Prince's wife. So after the Fourth Prince's wife passed away, the affairs of the harem became her responsibility.

At this moment, it is natural to comfort the Marquis's wife with a sad expression.

"My poor daughter died so early, and we, the old men, had to bury our young daughter. How can I live with such heart-wrenching pain in the future?"

The marquis's wife cried bitterly, and her daughters-in-law beside her tried to comfort her many times.

Standing next to Concubine Ying was Concubine Liu, whose eyes were swollen from crying. She was holding the only son of the Fourth Prince's wife, and she was so distressed that if outsiders didn't know their identities, they would probably think they were from the Fourth Prince's wife's family.
