My sister must marry someone else? Why are you crying when I marry the King of War?

Deng Hengchang pointed to the sky and swore to Shao Xun: "I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation. Before that, please be careful with your words. This is really not my fault. What I don't want to see most is that they get into trouble right now. If something happens to them, I can't escape the responsibility. Wouldn't that make me suspicious? Please believe me, my Lord!"

How could Shao Xun believe him?

He was being rude to the fullest: "Don't try to flatter me. I may not be an official, but I'm not stupid! You killed them and then used this trick to fool me. Isn't that a good way to clear your suspicion? I have to be stupid to believe you."

"This is the Dali Temple, and you are the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, Lord Deng, don't tell me that you are just a decoration, and you can't even guard three prisoners. Your words now sound like an attempt to cover up the truth! Now that the person is dead, there is no evidence anyway, Lord Deng can rest assured! But I can't swallow this breath, and I will file a lawsuit."

"This—My Lord!"

"Shut up, Master Deng, and listen to me!"

Shao Xun left with An Xueming in anger and immediately impeached Deng Hengchang. At the same time, the second prince, Prince Duan, and Concubine Yan did not miss this opportunity. A group of officials impeached the Deng family for lax family management, covering up everything, and defying the law. Memorials were presented to the emperor one after another.

The prince was very angry and said that the matter must be investigated thoroughly and the innocent people must be given an explanation.

The Crown Princess was scolded and was very angry. She quickly packed some generous gifts and asked someone to take them back to her mother. She also asked her mother and second aunt to go to the Marquis of Wu'an's mansion to visit the wife of Marquis Wu'an and Miss An.

If the two of them were willing to help put in a few good words, the situation might actually turn around.

Madam Deng Da and Madam Deng Er were also anxious, and immediately ordered people to prepare a car and head straight to the Wuwei Marquis Mansion.

Madam Shao and Mrs. Fu had no idea how the matter had turned out, but they were very pleased to see the two ladies of the Deng family coming to visit with generous gifts and speaking so politely and with such a humble attitude.

Especially Mrs. Fu, who felt even more flattered when everyone complimented her with a smile on their face and called her "Second Madam Shao".

You have to know that because the second branch of the family did not inherit the title and Mr. Shao had no official position, even if Fu used the name of Wuwei Marquis's Mansion to socialize in the circle, some ladies from prominent families would not pay much attention to her.

It was obvious that she was not included in the circle at all.

The Deng family is the Crown Princess's maiden family, and Madam Deng is the Crown Princess's biological mother. After such politeness, how could Fu not be flattered?

The two wives of the Deng family had originally planned to visit Lin Yulan and An Xiaoqi in person. Fu didn't want Lin Yulan and An Xiaoqi to contact them, so she smiled and said, "I'm afraid it's not convenient for them to entertain guests right now. Don't worry, ladies, I'll take care of it. It was the servants who were ignorant that caused the accident. Now that we have investigated it clearly, how can we blame the second young master and young lady Deng? Besides, Lin and Xiaoqi were safe and sound, so we can't make a fuss about it! We will meet each other sooner or later, so it's not right to be so fussy."

Madam Deng Da and Madam Deng Er heard her say this, and seeing that Madam Shao listened with a smile, which was equivalent to tacit agreement, they were relieved, "Madam Shao Er is right, that's exactly the truth!"

As soon as the two wives of the Deng family left, Madam Shao instructed Mrs. Fu: "The Deng family is a reasonable family. Since they took the initiative to come to negotiate peace, it would be too self-righteous for our family to use Qiao. You should talk to Mrs. Lin and tell her that it was my words. I don't need to teach you how to say it to the outside world, right?"

Lin Yulan and An Xiaoqi are the victims. As the wife of Marquis Wuwei, Lin Yulan's status is much higher than An Xiaoqi's. As long as she expresses her opinion to the outside world, neither An Xiaoqi nor Shao Xun can say anything.

Otherwise it would be unreasonable.

Fu was filled with enthusiasm because she was treated well and valued by the two ladies of the Deng family. She was determined to complete the "task" assigned to her by the two ladies of the Deng family so that they could see her ability and make friends with her in the future. She agreed to Madam Shao's request and could not wait to go straight to Chunhui Garden.

As for the generous gifts brought by the two ladies of the Deng family, they naturally remained with Mrs. Shao.

Naturally, all of Mrs. Shao’s things will belong to the second wife in the future.

Lin Yulan was lying on the bedside, bored and pretending to be seriously injured, flipping through a book casually. Xiaoqu was sitting beside her, doing needlework from time to time.

Hearing that Second Aunt was coming, Lin Yulan hurriedly hid the book under the quilt. Xiaoqu hurriedly helped her lie down, covered her with a thin quilt up to her chest, and fiddled with the incense in the incense burner. A faint medicinal fragrance rose with the light smoke and filled the bedroom.

"Second Madam!"

Xiaoqu knelt down to greet him.

Lin Yulan looked at Fu and forced herself to sit up, "Second Aunt is here..."

Xiaoqu hurried forward and helped his master sit back on the pillow.

"Hold on, is my niece-in-law feeling better?" Mrs. Fu sat down on the embroidered cushion in front of the bed and looked at Lin Yulan with a smile: "She looks pretty good."

Lin Yulan pulled the corners of her mouth and gave a slightly bitter smile.

Xiaoqu and Qianrui carefully put on makeup for her, but she looked as pale and haggard as yesterday, and no one knew how Fu could tell that she looked good.

The Marquis hasn't said anything yet, so it's impossible for her to look good.

"Thank you for your concern, Second Aunt. I'm still not feeling well. If I've been rude in any way, please don't blame me."

Mrs. Fu smiled even more kindly: "How can that be possible? My niece-in-law will take good care of you. You are still young and your health looks good. You will be fine in a few days!"

Xiao Qu looked up and Lin Yulan shook her head slightly at her.

Fu said, "The Deng family has already investigated what happened yesterday. Because the young master and young lady of the An family had a conflict with the second son of the Deng family, the second son of the Deng family's trusted follower, Ah Mo, felt sorry for his master and wanted to vent his anger, so what happened yesterday happened. Ah Mo has committed suicide out of fear of crime. You and Xiao Qi are fine, so let's just leave it at that. What do you think?"

Lin Yulan's heart sank slightly. She guessed that Fu's intentions were ill-intentioned and she thought she was here to gloat over someone else's misfortune. She didn't expect that she was here to act as a lobbyist.

"It's better to resolve a feud than to create one. Ah Xun's reputation is already very bad. He is the kind of person who will make trouble out of nothing. With this excuse for making trouble, why wouldn't he make a big fuss? If he makes a fuss, won't his reputation be even worse? Niece-in-law, as a wife, do you want to see this?"

"Besides, we are all in the same circle. If things get awkward, wouldn't it be awkward when we meet in social gatherings in the future? What's the point? Taking a step back will open up a new world and benefit everyone."

"That's what the old lady meant!"
