Chapter 33: Bad News

Since then, the people of the Cheyue Palace's Mansion have been looking for Nangong Mama's body, and the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere that was originally due to the joy of the prince's wedding has become extremely dignified. Feng Huanling felt that the eyes of the people under her had become a little strange, and even some were already obvious disgust and hatred.

Originally, she thought that Qixiang would only be unfavorable to her, but she didn't expect that she would use the means to kill Nangong Mama and frame her personal maid.

Although the murderer identified by Qixiang is Su Yue, who doesn't know that the personal maid has always done things for her master?

However, the night before, the tonic prepared by Nangong Mama was accidentally found by Feng Huanling to be poisonous, and anyone would naturally think that she must have ordered Su Yue to assassinate Nangong Mama to vent her anger in anger.

Just when Nangong Mama's body was still missing, there was another shocking and unfortunate news from the Prime Minister's Mansion - Aunt Su accidentally fell into the water and died!

When Feng Huanling rushed back accompanied by Long Yucang, there should have been a little remnant of the Prime Minister's Mansion that had been celebrated earlier by the wedding, and his eyes were already full of plain eyes.

Almost at the same time as King Cheyue and his wife, there was also Su Fengchang, who was the head of Jiuqing, but seeing that he was dressed in mourning clothes and full of grief and indignation, no one looked at him and rushed straight to Feng Wanquan first.

"Uncle Yue is angry, Mo Lan's death was really an accident, but after all, I still blame me for not taking good care of her, please punish Uncle Yue."

Feng Wanquan and Su Chen were originally colleagues, although they were a few years younger, their positions were higher.

But since he accepted someone else's daughter as his aunt, it is reasonable to respect his father-in-law, not to mention that Su Molan's death is really worthy of his Feng family.

"Reprimand? Hmph, the prime minister is really good at laughing, the lower official is just a small Fengchang, where can he dare to blame the prime minister? ”

Su Xi sneered, flicked his sleeves fiercely and shook off the hand that Feng Wanquan was wrapping around, "Xia Guan just wants to know how the little girl died?" Although she is just an aunt in the house, after all, she is still the daughter that I Su Chen raised in the palm of her hand since she was a child, and she can't die like this. ”

Then he walked to his daughter's coffin, looked at his daughter who was no longer angry in the cold coffin, Su Fengchang, who was over fifty years old, had red eyes in an instant, and shouted sadly, "It's too late for my father."

Su Chen, who has not remarried since the death of his wife, has a great relationship with the only concubine, so although Su Molan is only the daughter of the concubine, she is quite favored by her father, and she regards it as as precious as the youngest daughter of the concubine.

If it weren't for Su Molan's enchantment, who fell in love with Feng Wanquan, who was the youngest prime minister in the history of the Divine Dragon Kingdom, Su Xi would not have wronged her to marry a concubine at all!

Now looking at his daughter's cold corpse, no matter how much he regrets it with tears, it will be too late after all.

"Father, I have the same doubts as my grandfather, Aunt Su was fine when I returned to the door a few days ago, why did I return it in a month, and the person was suddenly gone?"

The last time I went home, I only heard that the medical fairy could cure the dumb disease, and when I saw him again, Feng Huanling was already able to speak, and immediately everyone in the mourning hall focused their eyes on her.

"Ling, Ling'er, you can actually speak?"

Su Chen, who was much older in an instant due to the violent death of her eldest daughter, looked at her granddaughter who had been mute since childhood with teary eyes, and couldn't help but be filled with joy and sorrow.

"Grandfather, thanks to the prince who invited the medical immortals of Yuanling Mountain, I was able to cure my dumb disease."

Feng Huanling pulled Feng Huanbing, who had been standing side by side since entering the door, and formally greeted his grandfather together, watching him with tears staggered, but because of his granddaughter's dumb cure, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

"Thank you for your kindness!" Su Xian first bowed deeply and sincerely thanked King Cheyue, and then hugged the shoulders of the two granddaughters and said in a trembling voice, "My two good grandsons, I have suffered you. ”

In the past, Su Xi also visited the Prime Minister's Mansion from time to time in his spare time, and whenever he asked Su Molan how well she was doing in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she received a positive response.

But he didn't react until he saw his daughter's body today, whether it is the royal family or the back house of the family, it will never be peaceful, and the daughter who was too well protected by himself before marriage became an aunt in the Prime Minister's Mansion, how can he not be bullied?

"My mother's death is really wrongful, and I hope that my grandfather will be the master, and my mother will be fair."

Feng Huanbing's tears are like pearls with broken threads, and the grief and indignation are overflowing.

As soon as he was reminded by his eldest granddaughter, Su Chen instantly perked up, and once again focused on confronting Feng Wanquan, and the questions he asked before had not been answered clearly.

How did Aunt Su, his daughter Su Molan, die?

"Lord Yue, this morning the cuckoo got up and was about to wait for Aunt Su to get up, but found that she was not in the room. It can't be found in the Magnolia Courtyard, and when the cuckoo went out of the Magnolia Courtyard all the way to the garden, he saw Aunt Su's whole person floating on the lotus pond. After coming over to check, it was estimated that Aunt Su should have fallen into the pool in the middle of the night last night or early this morning, and there were no other external injuries on her body, but she died of drowning. ”

Although Feng Wan was a little sad in the whole way, his mind was obviously very clear, and he explained the matter clearly in a few words, and used the judgment results as the most powerful testimony to prove that Aunt Su's death was just accidental.

"Lord Su, the concubine also asked Jing Zhaoyin about the cause of Sister Su's death, and Lord Teng analyzed that Aunt Su may have been unable to sleep at night due to the summer heat, so she went to the lotus pond alone to cool off, but she didn't fall into drowning."

Mo Shi had two tears on his face, and looked at Su Chen with pity, but in fact, he was clearly helping Prime Minister Feng to exonerate him, proving that Aunt Su's death was just an accident, which was the result of Lord Jingzhao Yin Teng's verdict.

"Okay, now that Lord Jing Zhaoyin has decided the case, the old man has nothing to say. Now the old man just wants to be alone with his two granddaughters for a while, I wonder if the prime minister can do it? ”

This requirement is not a non-trivial invitation, Feng Chengquan is naturally difficult to say that it cannot be fulfilled, when even if he takes others to leave the mourning hall temporarily, even the King of Cheyue is invited out together.

There was no need for Su Chen to ask, Feng Huanling sighed lightly and took the initiative to explain: "Now that my mother and relatives have died tragically, it is not good for my granddaughter to hide her grandfather anymore." As early as a few months ago, I almost died in the lake with my second aunt because I accidentally bumped into the eldest lady and the shopkeeper of a shop outside the house. If it weren't for the luck of King Cheyue's rescue, I'm afraid of ......"

Although Miss Fengsi fell into the water in the prime minister's mansion, she would naturally have heard of it with Su Chen's status, because there was no danger at that time, and the maids and grandmothers involved were all punished, so he didn't pursue it too much.

He would have thought that behind this seemingly unexpected thing, there were many hidden secrets that no one knew.

"The prime minister's wife has a private meeting with the shopkeeper? Ling'er, can you take a closer look? Do the two have a personal relationship? ”

This matter is not trivial, and Su Chen must understand it.

"This ...... In fact, the granddaughter only saw it from afar at that time, but she couldn't see if the two had any personal relationship, but she just saw a secret conversation near the small door where no one was. But even so, Mama Chen and Cai Ling, who were used by the eldest lady, were designed so that I almost died. ”

In Feng Huanling's memory, he really didn't have much impression of Mo's private meeting with the shopkeeper, it was just a fragment of the picture.

"Because she has personally experienced a dangerous situation, her granddaughter will suspect that it is not accidental that her mother's death is not accidental, but even if Jing Zhaoyin has already been decided, it is not difficult for us to find out the truth, but it takes more time to arrange......"

According to the custom of the Shenlong Kingdom, the deceased can only be buried after the first seven years.

On the first seventh, the seventh day after the death of the deceased, the living believe that the soul of the deceased will return home on the "first seventh".

Therefore, on the first seven days, relatives should prepare a table for the soul of the deceased in the mourning hall, and then avoid sleeping peacefully, so as not to let the soul of the deceased see the family and become worried and unwilling to be reincarnated.

This day is undoubtedly an extremely terrifying day for those who sincerely remember the deceased, but it is undoubtedly an extremely terrifying day for those who have ghosts in their hearts.

Feng Qingyuan used the excuse that her injury had not healed, and she had only worshiped Aunt Su once a few days ago, and she wanted to use an excuse to avoid it on the first seven days, but she heard that King Cheyue personally accompanied Feng Huanling to prepare a banquet, and the eldest lady sent someone to persuade her to go over according to the rules.

Due to the extremely hot weather at the end of summer, in order to prevent Aunt Su's body from decomposing too quickly, a cooling wall was erected near the coffin, so that the temperature in the mourning hall was maintained in an unusually cool state.

However, although the day is closed to relieve the heat, it is inevitable to add cold at night, especially when the evening breeze carries the cold through the mourning hall, the people around the coffin will feel a cold wind passing by.

"Mother, third sister, do you say that your mother will really come back today?"

It was already dark, and Feng Huanling, who was preparing for the first seven banquets, still had no intention of leaving, and took the initiative to ask in an ethereal tone.

"This ...... The prince is a person who cultivates the truth, so he must know more about it. ”

Feng Qingyuan was furious when she was asked, but when she looked at King Cheyue, she was immediately relieved, and even wanted to talk to him about this topic.

If it were normal, Long Yucang didn't care about her at all, but tonight he said patiently: "Unless it is a soul who died of a very serious resentment, after the first seven finally go home to see it, the soul of the deceased will return to the underworld and be reincarnated with peace of mind." ”

Mo didn't have the heart to discuss these with them, but when he heard King Cheyue mention "the soul who died of an unjust soul with a lot of resentment", he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine, "What if it is a soul who dies unjustly?" ”

Long Yucang didn't respond immediately, but coldly glanced at the pale-faced eldest lady, and hesitated for a while before saying: "If the deceased is not a good death and has too much resentment, he may turn into a powerful ghost and ask for her life from the wicked person who killed her on the first seven days." ”

Boom!

When Feng Qingyuan, who had always been dignified and steady, heard this, she suddenly stood up with a pale face, and said in a trembling voice: "It's not too early, since the banquet has been prepared, we should also avoid it." ”

After listening to King Cheyue's explanation, Mo's face was not much better than that of his daughter, and he immediately echoed and dismissed everyone.

After Ren Long Yucang walked out of the mourning hall with his waist in his hands, Feng Huanling glanced at Feng Huanbing on the other side, and saw her nodding slightly before going against her.

The night was dark and the wind was high, and with the gusts of night wind through the garden, it catalyzed the eerie sound of ghosts crying and howling.

The more Feng Qingyuan thought about King Cheyue's words, the more frightened she became, so she insisted on pulling her mother to accompany her back to Qingfeng Temple.

And Mo's heart was also furious, although Aunt Su really didn't kill her personally this time, but at least she had to be considered an accomplice, and in the past, she framed and tortured Aunt Su, so it was inevitable that she would be humbly afraid.
