It's all ruined, who cares about the chastity arch
Chapter 118 What happened to the Zheng family?
"But young lady, the perpetrator's martial arts skills are extremely high, and there are only a handful of people who can employ such a master in the capital."
"Prince Liang?" Su Wanyu whispered the name. Apart from him, she really couldn't think of anyone else who would have such a deep hatred for the royal princess.
Siqi hesitated for a moment: "The princess left the palace when she was young, so there is no reason for her to be hostile to the people in the palace, unless she has a grudge against Mr. Lu."
"My biological mother's enemy..." Su Wanyu's heart sank, and she tightly grasped the shoes in her hand. "This must be what my mother hesitated to say before she died."
"Then Miss, do we still need to go and meet each other?" Siqi asked cautiously.
Su Wanyu smiled with determination: "Yes, of course I will go. Go and make arrangements. Three days later, I will meet the Regent at Luo'an Temple."
"Yes, Miss." Siqi bowed her head respectfully and walked out of the room lightly, just in time to pass by Xiao Guo who was hurrying in.
The hem of Mrs. Guo's clothes swayed slightly with her hurried steps, and her face showed a bit of anxiety.
"Wanyu, Wanyu." She called repeatedly, her voice filled with worry that was difficult to conceal.
Su Wanyu turned around upon hearing the voice, her eyebrows slightly knitted, a hint of inquiry flashed in her eyes: "Madam, what's the urgent matter that requires you to rush like this?"
Little Guo's face was solemn, and her usually gentle face looked particularly serious at this moment: "I just received news that your majesty and Zheng Yinyin accidentally fell into the water while boating on the lake and unfortunately died."
"Fall into the water..." Su Wanyu whispered, sighing in her heart. Her brother's decisive character was exactly the same as her father's.
She quickly stepped forward and patted the back of little Guo's hand to comfort her: "Don't worry, since it was an accident, we should deal with it calmly. I will send someone to pick him up and everything will be fine."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Guo's frown relaxed slightly and she nodded gently: "Then what about the old lady..."
Su Wanyu answered firmly: "I will personally explain the situation to the old lady. You take people to pick up the fourth young lady and take her home. I will take care of everything."
"Okay, whatever you say." Mrs. Guo responded. Her originally nervous expression relaxed a lot, as if she had found support.
Su Wanyu walked into Old Madam Zheng's courtyard, where she was sitting alone by the window, stroking her forehead with her hand, muttering to herself: "What evil has befallen our Zheng family? Why are disasters happening one after another?"
"Old lady." Su Wanyu called softly, slowly approaching, holding a delicate incense burner in her hand, which contained calming incense, intended to ease the old lady's mood, "My daughter-in-law has sent someone to take Yinyin home, you don't have to worry too much."
Mrs. Zheng tilted her head when she heard this, her eyes showing a bit of fatigue: "What's the matter with you coming here?"
Su Wanyu gently opened the lid of the incense burner and lit the incense inside. The elegant fragrance immediately spread out: "I heard that the old lady was upset about Yinyin's matter. I came to see you specially, hoping to share your worries."
Old Madam Zheng glanced at her sideways, with a hint of reproach in her tone: "Wanyu, your mother-in-law has passed away, and your eldest sister-in-law can't be relied on. The responsibility of housekeeping will eventually fall on your shoulders."
Su Wanyu gently fanned the smoke from the incense burner, her expression calm, "Old lady, my sister-in-law has managed the house in perfect order. We have all seen her ability and responsibility."
Old Madam Zheng frowned, and suddenly pushed the incense burner on the table away, saying sternly: "You clever fellow, don't think I don't know your little thoughts. You deliberately let it go, do you want to watch the Zheng family decline step by step?"
"But you must understand that if the Zheng family really collapses, you, as a member of the Zheng family, will also be implicated."
"Even if a married daughter is divorced, she will not be able to escape the criticism of the world. You are too naive to think that you can stay out of it!"
Su Wanyu lowered her head, her eyes fell on the incense ashes scattered on the ground, she raised her eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Old lady, have I ever thought about divorce? You are worrying too much. I don't want to be a housekeeper, but I just don't want to add more troubles."
"As for the rise and fall of the Zheng family, what does it have to do with me? I just want to have a clear conscience."
"Old lady, don't be too sad. It's not good to hurt your body. After all, there are still many days to come, and we still have a lot to face."
After saying this, she turned and left, her eyes accidentally glancing at the tilted pine potted plant in the house. With mixed feelings in her heart, she finally left Mrs. Zheng's room silently.
Old Madam Zheng sat up on the bed, looking at her from behind, cursing, "You are just a girl of humble origins, yet you dare to play tricks in front of me. When the day comes when your Su family falls, I will see how you can still be so proud!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a severe headache and covered her temple.
"Someone! Call a doctor!"
When the maids in the courtyard heard the noise, they hurriedly ran to tell others and hurriedly went to call for the doctor.
Ever since Zheng Chengyan made her sick, Mrs. Zheng had been suffering from frequent headaches. Especially after Concubine Bu Hui passed away, the pain at night became more severe, often making her feel like she was dying.
Despite inviting many famous doctors, the disease could not be cured and instead became increasingly worse.
In just one month, Mrs. Zheng became so thin that her bones were just skin and bones, and her jet-black hair quickly turned white.
Shortly after Su Wanyu left Old Lady Zheng's courtyard, the people sent by Mrs. Guo brought back Zheng Yinyin's body.
Zheng Yinyin's whole body was wet, her face was pale, and her eyes were wide open with fear before death, making her look extremely desolate.
Su Wanyu walked forward and gently closed her eyes, as if seeing her off.
The Zheng family had just dealt with the funeral affairs of Guo and Concubine Hui, and were unable to hold a decent funeral for Zheng Yinyin, not to mention that this happened in front of the emperor.
So, the Zheng family quietly prepared a coffin and buried her quietly in the cover of night.
Su Wanyu stood aside, quietly watching the coffin slowly sink into the ground, feeling mixed emotions.
The queen who was once high and mighty and domineering could no longer oppress her.
The glory of the past is ultimately like a dream, vanishing with the wind.
Zheng Chengyan stood not far away, looking at the coffin that was gradually covered by mud. His lips were pale and his eyes were empty, as if his soul had drifted away with the wind. It was unknown what he was thinking about.
Su Wanyu did not wait for him. She turned around and returned to the mansion with firm steps.
Not long after, Zheng Chengyan quietly boarded an inconspicuous carriage, chose a remote road, and secretly went to the Prince of Liang's Mansion.
The King of Liang was in the courtyard, leisurely playing with the bird in the cage. When he saw Zheng Chengyan coming, he asked jokingly, "Why do you have the leisure to visit me today?"
Zheng Chengyan's expression was gloomy, and he responded in a low voice: "My fourth sister accidentally fell into the water at the emperor's place, and has..."
Upon hearing this, King Liang did not show much surprise on his face. He continued to play with the bird cage in his hand, with a meaningful smile on his face: "You, the Zheng family, should feel lucky that His Majesty only punished her this time and did not spread his anger to the entire family."
