Chapter Ninety-Three: I Have Decided Up
Xin Nian looked at Gu Changting's eyes, the sadness in her eyes didn't seem to be fake, she trembled her lips, and she wanted to tell Gu Changting desperately that Princess Qin did not die of illness, she was killed by someone, and she was killed by Concubine Liao, who was like a snake and scorpion.
After a period of thoughts, I finally suppressed this impulse.
Xin Nian herself was surprised by her attitude towards Gu Changting: When did it start? Did she really start relying on this man? So much trust in him? I don't want to think about it, even if the concubine is insidious and vicious, it is also his biological mother. Even the Liao family secretly instructed people to harm the Qin family with poisonous snakes, and he brought it over in a daze, can he still expect him to deal with his mother impartially because of the death of Princess Qin?
However, the more I think about it, the more unjust I become: A good person like Princess Qin, could she die in vain? The culprit has done all the bad things, how can he still enjoy glory and wealth? Is there really no heavenly retribution in this world?
Thinking like this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but pile up a miserable smile, but his eyes became more and more cold, and he suddenly heard Gu Changting ask Lychee in a deep voice, "Before the princess died, did she have any last words to explain?"
"Back to the prince, no."
"My sister didn't have a last word to explain, she just said that she should have gone a long time ago, and she was able to struggle to this day, thanks to the great changes in her family back then, the prince never abandoned her and never practiced it, so that she would not be wiped out in this harsh world."
Gu Changting's heart hurt even more, he shook his head and sighed, "This is all the righteousness that should be between husband and wife, I didn't know that she was thinking about it until now."
When the words fell, there were mixed footsteps in the courtyard again, but it was the Liao family and several children who had also arrived.
No matter what they thought in their hearts, everyone still had to cry a few times after all. Xin Nian had no tears at this time, looking at the Liao family and the others' coy attitudes, she only felt disgusted, thinking that if Princess Qin's soul was not far away, she would definitely not want to see these people crying here. Because he said to Gu Changting: "My sister is a good and quiet person, not to mention that in less than a year in the house, she has encountered two great tragic things, and people's hearts are bleak, but it is good for everyone not to be too sad."
How could Gu Changting not hear this off-string sound? Nodding his head, he ordered everyone to go out, he glanced at Princess Qin again, and said to Lizhi: "You are the dowry girl brought by Fengrong, you don't need to do anything else at this time, just keep the spirit here."
"Yes."
Lychee agreed, and Gu Changting also came out of the house. As soon as he sat down in the hall, he saw Concubine Liao's dowry Qian hurriedly walked in and reported: "When the concubine heard the news, she cried in the room, and at this time, she was afraid to see the princess sad, so she sent the slave and maid over to take a look, and by the way, I also want to ask the princess, what should I do after the princess's death?"
"What do you say? Feng Rong is the princess, so naturally she will be buried according to the princess's etiquette."
Gu Changting frowned. Qian nodded hurriedly and said, "The concubine said the same thing. That's it...... The funeral is very complicated, and the concubine is afraid that her grandmother will be too tired by herself, so she should find two people to help her......
As he spoke, he looked at Gu Changting's face, only to see his eyes heavy, suddenly waved his hand, and said lightly: "Although the funeral is important and cumbersome, but a few months ago, the house has already passed once, even if the mother has to take care of it well and can't preside over it, several aunts are also experienced. Feng Rong's funeral, I think according to her original intention, should be handled by the Xin family, with the assistance of the Gu family and others, that is."
"Huh?" Qian was surprised, Concubine Liao had already said that Gu Changting would probably hand over this matter to the Xin family privately, but he didn't expect that the prince would be so direct, and he didn't save face for his grandmother at all.
"Cousin?"
Liao Shi stood up suddenly, but saw Gu Changting look at her, and said in a deep voice: "You are not good these days, not to mention that there is a lot of work in the house, which is enough for you to be busy, so you don't have to interfere in the princess's funeral."
Liao stayed in place, like being struck by lightning, and the whole person froze: the princess's funeral is such a big event, as the head of the house, she can't even participate, how neglected and humiliated is this?
Even Xin Nian didn't expect Gu Changting to be so resolute, she thought that she would have to give the Liao family a step down, even if she was in charge of this matter herself, and give the Liao family a name for funeral.
looked at her husband quietly, Liao's body trembled like a swing, but Gu Changting didn't even look at it, so Xin Nian understood in her heart:
This master has anger in his heart, and his temperament is not small.
"Lord Wang." A cautious voice came from outside the door: "The palace sent someone to pass on the message, and the emperor will let you enter the palace."
"Got it."
Gu Changting replied in a deep voice, stood up and looked at Xin Nian: "The princess's funeral will be handed over to you, you must handle it well...... Before he finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "That's it, I also told you in vain, where is the need for me to say more about the relationship between you and Fengrong."
"Yes. Don't worry."
Xin Nian saluted lightly and watched Gu Changting stride away. After a while, Liao Shi seemed to react, suddenly turned his head and stomped his feet, and chased after him quickly.
Aunt Feng, Aunt Qiu, Aunt Gu looked at each other, but Xin Nian was not interested in knowing what the two would say: Since Gu Changting was empathetic and wanted her to take care of Princess Qin's funeral, then he would do his best to give this sister a beautiful funeral.
Let's talk about Liao's family, because Gu Changting walked fast, she chased after her for a while, and shouted again before her husband stopped. She came to the other party out of breath and asked, "What do you mean, cousin?" You...... How can you do this to me?"
"Not for you." Gu Changting looked at her and said lightly, "It's Feng Rong. Don't get me wrong, it's not what I meant, it's what Feng Rong meant."
"What does the princess mean? The princess is dead, even if she has any thoughts, can she still trick the corpse and tell you? Don't use the princess as an excuse, it's obviously you who spoke."
Gu Changting was unmoved: "Yes, Feng Rong has already returned to hatred, what is her mind, she will never be able to resort to it again. But even so, I know it in my heart."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Liao Shi and said in a deep voice, "Cousin, don't you understand? Or do you think Feng Rong will want you to handle her funeral?"
"I ......"
Liao's words were stopped, and he suddenly woke up in his heart: Gu Changting still remembered that he had instructed someone to murder Princess Qin. So this time, he didn't save any face for himself, and maybe he even put the princess's death on his head again.
As soon as he thought of this, Liao's tears were about to fall: "Cousin, this princess's matter really has nothing to do with me, you ...... You've taught me everything."
Her tone softened, Gu Changting also sighed, and said softly: "It has nothing to do with it, Feng Rong will not want you to handle her funeral, I have made up my mind, you don't need to say more."
