[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

"I'm relieved that you think this way." Nanny Zhou reached out and hugged Princess Anyang. "You are the strongest child I have ever seen!"

Princess Anyang leaned in Nanny Zhou's arms, quietly feeling the warmth of her loved ones.

After a while, she suddenly raised her head from Madam Zhou's arms and said seriously, "Madam, do you know how my parents died?"

"Why do you suddenly think of asking this?" Nanny Zhou let go of Princess Anyang and looked at her in confusion.

"Tell me, were they murdered by someone?" asked Lady Anyang seriously.

Nanny Zhou thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I don't know. I only know that after the news of the general's death came back from the battlefield, the lady fell ill due to excessive grief. A few days later, she followed the general. I was sent by the lady to be by your side to take care of you. So, I heard about the death of the general and the lady from others, and I didn't see it with my own eyes."

When she came here, the parents of Anyang County Lord were already dead. What she said were just the things in her original body's memory.

After she took over this identity, her main focus was to raise the Princess of Anyang County, and by the way, to give herself more say in the mansion, so that she could live a more comfortable life after crossing over. She never thought about investigating the cause of death of the two.

After all, according to the original body's memory, the cause of death of the general and his wife was clear and there was no doubt about it.

It was not until this moment that Princess Anyang's words made Nanny Zhou suspicious.

"County Lady, have you heard any news? Is there any hidden reason behind the death of the general and his wife?"

Princess Anyang showed a trace of doubt between her eyebrows, "Even the nanny doesn't know? No! I must ask clearly!"

Princess Anyang's eyes became firm, "Madam, tell someone to invite my stepmother over. I have something to ask her."

"No, I had such a big incident, didn't she come to see me?"

Facing the puzzled look of Anyang County Princess, Nanny Zhou had a complicated expression. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly said, "The general's wife was assassinated on her way back to Beijing from Fahua Temple this afternoon. She has passed away."

"What did you say!?"

Princess Anyang looked at Nanny Zhou in disbelief. "You said, my stepmother is dead? How is that possible? Didn't she make an appointment with Mrs. Rong from Shun'an Marquis's Mansion to go to Fahua Temple to burn incense today? How could she be assassinated?"

Nanny Zhou grabbed Anyang County Lady's shoulders and looked at her seriously, "It's true. I also felt it was very sudden. But the body of the general's wife has been transported back to the general's mansion. At this moment, the general's mansion is already in ruins. The messenger who brought the news of the death has already rushed to Datong."

"Why did it happen so suddenly? Who did it? Has the murderer been caught?"

"No." Madam Zhou shook her head. "The man was assassinated when he first entered the city. There were a lot of people on the street at the time. It is said that someone quietly threw a small stone in the crowd, which flew in through the carriage window and hit the general's wife on the temple, killing her instantly. By the time the city guards came to seal off the scene, the murderer had long disappeared. Now the case has been handed over to the Jingzhou government office for investigation. But I don't know if the murderer can be caught."

Princess Anyang bit her lip and pondered for a moment. As if she suddenly thought of something, she asked, "Didn't my stepmother go to the Fahua Temple with Madam Rong today? My stepmother is dead, so what about Madam Rong? Is she okay?"

Nanny Zhou calmly shook her head, "Madam Rong is fine. For some unknown reason, Madam Rong left the Fahua Temple before noon. The general's wife had the vegetarian meal in the temple and returned to the capital in the afternoon. The two did not go the same way."

When she learned that Yuan was dead, she was also shocked. Fortunately, after asking, she learned that Rong En had returned to Beijing before Yuan, so she was relieved.

However, Princess Anyang was shocked. She suddenly grabbed Madam Zhou's arm tightly and said nervously, "Madam, such a quick and decisive method of killing requires people with strong martial arts and good wrist strength. Do you think Tingqin and the others have such ability?"

Madam Zhou nodded, then shook her head. "Tingqin might be okay. Ruhua is not so good. Moqi and Huishu should also be possible. However, none of them have any reason to assassinate the general's wife."

"I know it wasn't them. I just wonder who would have done it? And what's their purpose?"

She hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but guess: "Mammy, do you think the person who killed my stepmother was someone close to Madam Rong?"

Madam Zhou was startled, and then shocked again, "Why do you think so?"

"I just suddenly thought of Miss Xiu Zhang who was beside Madam Rong. I think her skills must be no worse than those of Ting Qin and the others."

Princess Anyang swallowed hard and said carefully, "Besides, why did Madam Rong suddenly abandon my stepmother and return to Beijing alone? She returned to Beijing at noon, and my stepmother had an accident in the afternoon. I always feel that there is something wrong."

Before, he was completely focused on Princess Anyang and didn't realize that Yuan's death was related to Rong Enqing.

Hearing what Princess Anyang said, Nanny Zhou couldn't help but frown.

This incident just happened to Princess Anyang. Could it be that Rong Enqing will also be involved in the murder case?

"It's too late today. I'll go to Shun'an Marquis's Mansion tomorrow morning and ask about the situation first."

Nanny Zhou thought about it and decided to find out what happened with Princess Anyang first.

"County Lady, please tell me about your story first. Can you tell me what happened after you entered the palace today? Why were you sent back by Wu Mingyu? Who did you..."

Although it was cruel, Nanny Zhou still wanted to find out what happened.

Anyone who hurt Princess Anyang must be punished accordingly, and she must ensure that this incident will not cause secondary harm to the Princess. Anyone who knows about this incident must find a way to keep it secret.

Princess Anyang knew that Nanny Zhou cared about her and what she was planning, so she did not hide anything and told her everything that happened today.

Finally, she smiled and comforted Madam Zhou, saying, "Madam, you don't have to do anything, and you don't have to let Moqi and Huishu do anything in private. Wu Mingyu has already killed Liang Yulan and all the people who bullied me. Leave the rest to Wu Mingyu."

Madam Zhou pondered for a while, but finally shook her head, "I'm afraid this matter can't be resolved peacefully."

Liang Yulan hired someone to humiliate the Princess of Anyang County, which was a heinous crime. She deserved death! But the prerequisite was that Liang Yulan was still alive!

Now that Liang Yulan is dead, everything has changed!

Even though it wasn't the Anyang County government that killed the person, I'm afraid it would still cause trouble.

At the same time, in Shun'an Marquis's Mansion, Rong Enqing also had a good sleep.

But what awaited her was the news of Yuan and Liang Yulan's death.

And Xiu Zhang and Nanny Gong who were kneeling in front of her.
