The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Yu Hua found this unbelievable, "Begging for alms? Doesn't Han Muran even let you eat?"

Jing Tan shook her head. "It's because we can't eat in the same dining hall as them. They eat meat and fish all day long, while we are vegetarians. So, we have to go out and beg for alms!"

Shang Xi clenched her fists even tighter. "This is outrageous! I'm taking over this!"

If this isn't addressed, the Prince Pang's mansion will be implicated!

The Han family has no bottom line; they even dared to use the Prince Pang's Mansion as a front for such despicable acts. This matter absolutely cannot be left unresolved.

After parting ways with Huaiji and Jingtan, Wang Fuzhi boarded the carriage. Ge Dongqing clung to the curtain and discussed with Shang Xi, "Niece-in-law, Uncle Ge won't be coming to this place anymore. Please don't tell anyone when you get back, okay?"

Shang Xi simply couldn't bear to look at this person.

"Uncle Ge, what's the use of me hiding it for you? Your calligraphy is still hanging in the main hall of Tingfeng Nunnery! Every young nobleman who comes here to steal a piece can appreciate it! I could keep this a secret if I just kept quiet!" Shang Xi pulled back the sedan curtain, completely blocking Ge Dongqing from the outside. Then she shouted to the coachman, and the wheels slowly began to roll, leaving Ge Dongqing bewildered.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of Prince Pang's mansion, and Shang Xi saw a child looking around curiously.

"Your Highness, you're back!"

Shang Xi looked up and saw that Da Yan had come specifically to wait for her at the door. "Didn't your prince let you go out to play today?"

Although Cheng Feng has a stubborn temper and looks down on Da Yan, he always treats Da Yan with special consideration.

"The prince gave me leave, and I went out for a trip and came back."

Shang Xi casually placed her hand on Da Yan's head. "So, are you waiting here for me, or for the Prince?"

"I'm waiting for the Princess Consort. The Prince is in the Old Madam's room! I didn't dare go near him. Princess Consort, please go and see him!"

Seeing the expression on Da Yan's face, Shang Xi felt a little uneasy. "What happened? Wasn't the prince taken away to listen to music this morning? It's not even noon yet, why is he back?"

Big Eyes frowned. "I don't know either. When I came back, I heard that the old lady was ill and the imperial physician had come!"

"My mother-in-law is sick? How did she get sick? She was perfectly fine before I left home!"

Big Eyes looked distressed: "I don't know either!" He'd only been back a short while!

Shang Xi didn't have time to ask any more questions and ran towards the direction of Old Madam Wan's courtyard! Yu Hua chased after her!

The courtyard of Old Madam Wan was completely silent, and the servants tiptoed around, not daring to make a sound!

Cheng Feng had a gloomy face, holding a prescription in his hand, which the imperial physician had just given him. Cheng Feng saw Shang Xi enter but didn't say anything. He told Da Yan, who was behind Shang Xi, to see the imperial physician out of the mansion, and Da Yan obediently did so.

Shang Xi asked Cheng Feng, "Is it some kind of sudden illness? Mother was perfectly fine when I left the manor this morning!"

Cheng Feng handed the prescription to Xing'er and asked her to arrange for someone to get the medicine.

After arranging these things, Cheng Feng finally spoke, "Don't be nervous, don't get anxious!"

Shang Xi sat down next to Cheng Feng, with only a small table between them. Cheng Feng pushed a glass of water from the table to Shang Xi, but she didn't touch it.

"Heartbroken? What kind of heartbreak is this? Does Mother know that You Ning is under house arrest and is worried about her grandson?" That's all Shang Xi could think of!

Cheng Feng shook his head, his face not looking good: "It has nothing to do with our son. It's just that people from the Han family came."

"The Han family? What are the Han family doing here?" Mentioning the Han family, Shang Xi couldn't contain her anger at all, and her voice involuntarily rose.

Cheng Feng glanced towards the inner room and said, "Keep your voice down, don't upset your mother-in-law!"

"What exactly did the Han family say?" Shang Xi's face was even uglier than Cheng Feng's, mainly because she was furious!

Cheng Feng stared at Shang Xi for a moment before speaking, "Han Nianxia committed suicide!"

"What?" Shang Xi and Yu Hua exclaimed almost simultaneously!

Cheng Feng glanced at the two women who were about to jump in fright and quickly said, "Stop shouting! You're not dead!"

Shang Xi and Yu Hua breathed a sigh of relief.

Shang Xi patted her chest and began to ask, "When did this happen?"

"Last night!"

"It was also last night. Was this pre-arranged or what?" Shang Xi was quite shocked!

Cheng Feng asked, "Who else committed suicide last night?"

"Princess Zhuoyang, she also failed to die in her suicide attempt!"

Cheng Feng wasn't so shocked. "It's understandable that the princess of a fallen kingdom couldn't withstand the blow!"

"How could Han Nianxia commit suicide!" Shang Xi never thought that Han Nianxia would take her own life one day. She was an exceptionally cheerful and carefree person.

Cheng Feng said, "He cut his wrist with a shard of the glass lamp; any later and he would have been dead!"

"Because of what?"

"Because she didn't want to marry Sui Ming! Her mother came to our house for two days in a row, urging your mother-in-law to go to the palace to ask the emperor for a marriage decree. Your mother-in-law agreed, and the whole Han family celebrated. Only Han Nianxia cried for a whole day, and then committed suicide at night. I heard that the blood she shed soaked the quilt!"

Yu Hua's mouth was wide enough to fit an egg, and she listened while sighing. "They say it's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, so why are they all trying to kill themselves!"

Cheng Feng looked at Yu Hua and asked, "You Ning wants to eat the small yellow croakers you fried yourself, did you fry them?"

Yu Hua slapped her forehead hard. "You were only thinking about your brother Chen's little tasks. You and Shang Xi ran off for over an hour. I'd better hurry up and fry some fish and bring it over. The kid's probably waiting to eat. By the way, Cheng Feng, didn't you send someone into the palace to find out why the Crown Prince is under house arrest?"

Cheng Feng said, "The old lady is sick, how can she take care of him! Go fry some fish for him! He'll definitely be waiting for lunch!"

Yu Hua turned and ran outside, muttering as she ran, "Oh dear! I'm afraid the food will get smothered!"

As soon as Yu Hua left, Shang Xi asked Cheng Feng, "Tell me! What was the reason this person committed suicide?"

Cheng Feng said, "The Han family was worried that your mother-in-law would have to go to the palace to ask for permission in the next couple of days, so they came in a hurry to ask her to postpone it until Han Nianxia has recovered!"

Shang Xi was incredulous, then gave a mocking laugh: "He's about to die, and he still won't give up!"

"Isn't that exactly right? Your mother-in-law couldn't withstand such a shock; she fainted on the spot!"

Shang Xi was too embarrassed to say it now, because this was just the beginning! The real excitement was yet to come!

Why did Han Nianxia attempt suicide?

"The Han family didn't tell us the truth about Han Nianxia's suicide, but I think Han Nianxia must have known about some of the Han family's dirty deeds of forming cliques and engaging in corrupt practices. She was simple-minded and couldn't understand it, so she committed suicide!" These were just Cheng Feng's speculations, but thinking about what Han Nianxia said when she was taken back by Madam Han, Cheng Feng's words made a lot of sense!
