When Xu Chen heard Duke Xu asking him, he quickly said to Duke Xu, "I understand, but I can't swallow this anger."

Duke Xu smiled and said to Xu Chen, "Good boy, if you can't swallow it, I can't swallow it either, but we really shouldn't make a scene with the General's Mansion now. If we really make a scene, we won't lose any benefits, but His Majesty will benefit from it."

When Xu Chen heard what Duke Xu said, he said to him sadly, "Father, are we just going to swallow our anger?"

Duke Xu said to Xu Chen, "No, we won't just swallow our anger. This is why I found Doctor Li for you. If there is anything in the future, Doctor Li can explain that it was indeed your wife who died after she went out with the General's Mansion. And Doctor Li can tell them that she died of poisoning. This means that the General's Mansion is closely related to your wife's affairs."

When Xu Chen heard what Duke Xu said, he bowed and said, "Father is very thoughtful. I have learned my lesson."

Duke Xu said to Xu Chen, "I know you have a deep relationship with her, but now is not the time to have a deep relationship. I will ask someone to bury her quickly. When the time comes, no matter what happens, as long as it is useful to you, I will ask Doctor Li to help."

Xu Chen looked at Su Yao on the bed with reluctance, and finally, as if he had made a decision, he said to Duke Xu, "Okay, father, I agree to let him rest in peace."

When Duke Xu heard Xu Chen's resignation, he patted Xu Chen's shoulder and said to him, "I know you feel bad, but now is not the time to feel bad. We need to turn the power of sadness into motivation. After all, we still have a lot of things to do."

After hearing what Duke Xu said, Xu Chen nodded and said, "Father, I will definitely cheer up."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, Duke Xu walked out.

Not long after Duke Xu left, the maid came in again to clean up Su Yao.

Xu Ming took Xu Chen away directly. The two stood in the yard. Xu Ming comforted Xu Chen and said, "Brother, I am sorry for your loss."

When Xu Chen heard what Xu Ming said, he looked at the door with a painful expression on his face and said to Xu Ming, "Second brother, do you think we can really avenge your sister-in-law?"

Xu Chen said to Xu Ming, "Don't worry, big brother. Since father said so, then father will definitely find a way. And father has always been looking forward to your return. Now that you are back, then we will definitely find a way to avenge big sister-in-law."

After hearing what Xu Ming said, Xu Chen said to Xu Ming firmly, "Thank you very much, second brother."

Xu Ming smiled and said to Xu Chen, "Brother, you are being polite. After all, we are a family. If there is any problem, we should handle it together. Brother, you don't have to be so polite."

At this time, the nanny came out again and said to Xu Chen, "Master, we have prepared the remains of the Master's wife. Do you want to go and take a look?"

When Xu Chen heard what Nanny said, he hurried in. Nanny wanted to follow him in. Xu Ming said to Nanny, "Maomao, just wait outside for a while. Let Big Brother say goodbye to Big Sister-in-law."

Xu Chen walked in quickly and saw that Su Yao's face was peaceful, as if she was just sleeping. Her eyes were closed, and there seemed to be a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

Her hair was scattered on the pillow, as black as ink, exuding a faint fragrance. The plain clothes she wore were as white as snow, without a single wrinkle, as if telling of her purity and elegance. Her hands were folded in front of her chest, as if she was guarding something precious. Her skin was as white as mutton fat, revealing a sickly paleness, lifeless.

Xu Chen looked at "Su Yao" like this. Although he knew that this person was not real, Xu Chen felt very uncomfortable. After all, the person who had been in the same boat with him had left.

Although he and Su Yao were not husband and wife in reality, they were husband and wife in name only. In Xu Chen's heart, he didn't know whether he regarded Su Yao as a sister or a wife, and Xu Chen had never dared to cross the line.

He just put Su Yao there, but now that Su Yao left, Xu Chen felt that the place was empty. Xu Chen himself seemed empty as well, and he didn't know what to do.

Looking at Su Yao lying on the bed, Xu Chen was at a loss. He reached out and gently tidied up Su Yao's not-so-messy hair, and said softly, "I hope you can live a safe and smooth life. Don't meet someone like my dad again. I hope you can be with your family all your life. That way I will know that you are living well in a faraway place. Then I can feel more at ease."

After Xu Chen finished speaking, he stood up and left, saying to the people outside, "Someone come here!"

The nanny came in and said to Xu Chen, "Young Master!"

Xu Chen said to the nanny, "Let the eldest young lady rest in peace!"

After Xu Chen finished speaking, it was as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and he fell backwards!

Xu Ming reached out to hold Xu Chen, and nervously said to Xu Chen, "Brother!"

Xu Chen was supported by Xu Ming and whispered to Xu Ming, "It's okay, don't worry!"

Xu Ming nodded and said to Xu Chen, "Then big brother, let me help you sit in my yard."

Xu Chen nodded, and Xu Ming took Xu Chen away.

General House

"What did you say"

When Liyue heard the news that Muman brought her, she looked at Muman in surprise.

Mu Mian said to Li Yue again, "It is true. The Duke's Mansion has already started setting up a mourning hall for Madam Xu!"

Liyue looked at Mumian in surprise and said, "So fast!"

Mumian nodded. Liyue was surprised and thought about it, then said to Mumian, "Does mother know?"

Mu Mian shook her head at Li Yue and said, "Madam doesn't know yet, but she should know soon."

Liyue said to Mumian, "Let's go to our mother's yard."

Li Yue left immediately after saying this.

When they arrived at Qingping's yard, Qingping had just heard what Madam Zhao said, and was sitting there in surprise, not moving!

Liyue walked in and saw Qingping's surprised look.

Liyue quickly walked over and said to Qingping, "Mother, are you okay?"

Qingping saw Liyue and said excitedly, "Mrs. Xu really...!"

Liyue did not answer Qingping's words, but looked at Mumian. Mumian understood and left with everyone.

Li Yue saw that everyone had left, and then she said to Qing Ping, "Don't worry, mother! It's not Aunt Su, Aunt Su has already left."

After hearing what Liyue said, Qingping breathed a sigh of relief and said to Liyue, "That's good, that's good, I thought it was...!"

Qingping at the back didn't dare to continue, and said to Liyue, "Then should we go and take a look? After all, in the eyes of the world, our General's Mansion has a good relationship with Madam Xu!"
