Zhao Yunzhu actually agreed with this statement.
Later, Miss Zhang did not survive, but Mr. and Mrs. Zhang were fine.
In response to Miss Zhang's departure, the Zhang family only hung two white lanterns at the door of the house.
Old Madam Zhang sighed and persuaded her son and daughter-in-law that her granddaughter had become a nun and her fate with her family was over in this life, so all her affairs after death should be handled by Qingyun Temple.
Zhao Yunzhu was not too surprised by the Zhang family's decision.
Afterwards, Mr. Zhang resigned three times because Madam Zhang was unwell, and wanted to move his family back to his ancestral home so that Madam Zhang could spend her old age in peace.
Empress Dowager Liu was originally unwilling, and the emperor tried to stop her several times.
But in the end, because he felt he owed the Zhang family, he finally let Lord Zhang leave Chang'an.
Ever since the incident with the Zhang family, Prime Minister Liu has not shown up again, and he still feels a little resentful towards the Zhang family.
It would have been fine if they had not become relatives, but instead his son now has the reputation of being a wife-killer. But now, every family in Chang'an who is of marriageable age is secretly looking for suitable men for their daughters.
After all, everyone was saying that even with a remarkable woman like Old Madam Zhang in the Zhang family, they were unable to control the bad luck of the Liu family.
How can my family have such good fortune?
Of course not.
The only thing he could do now was to give up his last remaining fantasy, arrange a marriage for his daughter as soon as possible, and get away from the Liu family as soon as possible.
The Zhang family packed their bags with great fanfare, and these days, Mr. Zhang was frequenting drinking parties with his colleagues.
Mrs. Zhang watched the servants pack up their things.
After all, once I leave, I'm afraid I won't come back again.
Mrs. Zhang has been feeling better these days.
…
In Prince An's Mansion.
Zhao Yunzhu had just finished breakfast when Linglong came into the room with the invitation from the Zhang family.
"Miss, this is the post from the Zhang family."
Zhao Yunzhu took the invitation from Linglong, and Mrs. Zhang asked her to visit her tomorrow.
"Ma'am, shall we go?"
"Go ahead, pick out two herbs from the storeroom, and follow me to the Zhang family tomorrow to see off Old Madam Zhang."
Not long.
Linglong picked out two boxes from the storeroom. "Miss, this is a fifty-year-old ginseng, and this is a hundred-year-old ginseng."
Zhao Yunzhu opened the box and looked at the ginseng inside. She said with satisfaction, "Well, they're good. Oh, and I'll go to the storeroom and pick out two fox fur cloaks. One for Old Madam Zhang and one for Madam Zhang."
Afternoon.
Zhao Yunzhu looked at the gifts on the table that were to be given to the Zhang family tomorrow, and felt satisfied.
"Miss--"
Aunt Hua lifted the curtain and walked into the room with a serious expression. She looked up and saw Zhang Yunzhu looking at something on the table.
Zhao Yunzhu heard something strange in Nanny Hua's tone and raised her head. "Nanny, what's wrong?"
"Miss, Lord Wang and Madam Wang are here." Nanny Hua secretly glanced at the young lady's expression.
"Someone from the Wang family?" Zhao Yunzhu frowned slightly.
Why did Lord Wang suddenly come to Chang'an?
This is quite surprising.
"Please ask them to go to the front hall. I'll clean up and come over."
Zhao Yunzhu stood up and was about to change her clothes, but saw Aunt Hua still standing there, and she said "hmm" suspiciously.
Nanny Hua finally spoke up, saying, "Lord Wang and his wife refused to come in. They insisted on waiting outside for the young lady to leave. Quite a few people have gathered outside, and no matter how the steward tries to persuade them, it's useless."
Zhao Yunzhu frowned, and there was a hint of displeasure in her eyes.
How can't you see that?
I'm afraid that Lord Wang and his wife are here today with ill intentions.
"Let's go and see what the Wang family is planning to do today."
Zhao Yunzhu quickened her pace. Nanny Hua called Linglong and Xiayue to follow, and also called three strong maids to take action according to the situation later.
It's always better not to be on guard.
At the main gate of Prince An's Mansion.
Lord Wang had his hands behind his back, his face solemn, while Madam Wang was holding a handkerchief to the corners of her eyes.
A lot of people had gathered in front of Prince An's mansion.
"Master Wang, Madam Wang." Zhao Yunzhu glanced at the two of them and then asked, "Why doesn't Master Wang go in and talk? Standing outside like this will make outsiders gossip about Master Wang and Madam Wang."
Lord Wang's face was unfriendly, and he snorted coldly, but he still had to follow the rules of etiquette. "Concubine Yun, I came here today to ask Concubine Yun for my naive little daughter."
Madam Wang lowered her hands and looked at Zhao Yunzhu in a hoarse voice, "Please, Concubine Yun, return our little daughter to us. We only have this one daughter."
"Master Wang, Madam Wang, please go in and talk."
Zhao Yunzhu patiently continued to persuade him. After all, it would be really bad to cause a scene in front of Prince An's mansion.
“No need.”
Seeing Lord Wang's resolute statement, Zhao Yunzhu's face turned cold. Since they had been given a way out, they didn't want it.
Forget it then.
Zhao Yunzhu turned around and instructed the servant behind him, "Go and bring some chairs over. Don't let others talk about the lack of hospitality in the palace."
Lord Wang's face froze.
I watched as the servant from Prince An's mansion brought in three chairs.
"I don't know why Lord Wang and his wife came to Prince An's Mansion to ask for someone?"
"Empress Dowager Liu had asked Miss Wang to return home early to reunite with her family. Miss Wang somehow became acquainted with General Liu and is now staying at his house."
Zhao Yunzhu narrowed her eyes and looked at the two of them with a smile.
She continued slowly, "Later, Miss Wang became involved with Madam Liu's nephew. Madam Wang also knew about this."
He turned his head, his sharp gaze falling on Madam Wang. "But this concubine is quite curious. Why did Madam Wang leave three days before Miss Wang got married?"
Mrs. Wang's face froze and she said defensively, "I... I don't know!"
Zhao Yunzhu chuckled and immediately understood something from Mrs. Wang's words.
"It seems that Miss Wang deliberately concealed this from Madam Wang and deliberately sent Madam Wang away. Only then did I understand the reason behind this."
"It just so happens that Miss Wang specifically invited me to attend her wedding banquet. Since Lord Wang and Madam Wang are here today, I will tell you everything I saw that day."
After saying that, Zhao Yunzhu raised her eyes and glanced at the crowd around her. She was the one who ordered the manager not to drive the crowd away.
Since the Wang family came to cause trouble today, I might as well let more people know what happened that day.
"Today, please bear witness to this, so that no more slander against Prince An's Mansion will be spread in the future."
Someone in the crowd cheered quietly.
Zhao Yunzhu smiled and looked at Lord Wang and his wife. "That day, Madam Liu drank the tea Miss Wang offered her and died of poisoning. To prove her innocence, Miss Wang drank the poisoned tea herself."
"The maidservant of the Wang family is quite strange. She insisted that I was the one who forced Miss Wang to death. However, the poison in the tea had nothing to do with me, the concubine. How can I even claim that I forced Miss Wang to death? After all, I have no connection with the Liu family."
"By the way, Lord Wang didn't interrogate the two maids around Miss Wang?"
