The imperial concubine is charming and charming, and only seeks power and wealth

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, although the river was not closed, there were very few ships at the major docks.

In times of peace and prosperity, the people are rich and every household has surplus food. No one is in a hurry to go to work and earn money before the fifteenth day of the lunar month.

Time was urgent, so Wang Shaofu gave up the water route and went straight to the capital by land, galloping at full speed.

There had been no vehicles passing by on the official road for a long time, and the snow had not been cleared in time, forming a thick layer. Horse hooves would sometimes slip when they stepped on it.

Wang Shaofu didn't care, tightened the reins, and galloped out, leaving the crowd in a cloud of dust.

The snowflakes fell in small pieces, covering his shoulders and face.

He never closed his eyes from sunrise to sunset, and apart from drinking a few sips of liquor, he did not eat a single grain of rice.

It took him half a month to travel, traveling day and night, and he arrived in the capital in less than four days.

Wang Yushi Mansion.

This century-old ancestral home of the Wang family is hung with white sails from inside to outside. Guests come and go in front of the door, and the servants in the house wear white sails around their waists, which looks solemn.

Wang Shaofu dismounted and staggered as he stepped onto the steps. He broke away from the crowd's support and headed straight for the mourning hall.

Xie An Ning died on the second day of the first lunar month. On this day, except for those who were really close to him who would come urgently, most people would not visit him.

However, she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang clan and the eldest daughter-in-law of the eldest son. Her status in the Wang family was the most honorable, except for the old couple of the Wang family and Wang Shaofu, and her funeral could not be neglected.

My husband is not in the capital, so there is no reason to bury him hastily. Ten days of keeping the body is not enough.

Therefore, there are many guests coming to pay their respects, and there are quite a few guests in the mourning hall at this moment.

As early as the moment Wang Shaofu entered the door, the Wang family had received the news and were waiting in the mourning hall.

Seeing her handsome and well-behaved son look like a haggard and savage man, Old Lady Wang was so shocked that she was speechless.

Her face was filled with heartache, she took out her handkerchief and shed tears, "Xie Shi died with her daughter, this is something no one wants, don't torture yourself, think positively."

Wang Shaofu's eyes only saw the coffin in front of him with the big word "Dian" engraved on it.

He ignored his weeping mother and his cracked lips moved slowly.

"go out."

Old Madam Wang stopped crying.

Old Master Wang frowned, "Your mother is still struggling to handle your wife's funeral, even though she's already old. How can you speak to her like that?"

Several guests nearby tried to persuade him.

"Everyone get out!"

There was silence in the hall.

"Alright, alright," Old Lady Wang said, wiping away her tears. "The pain of losing my wife is beyond words. Let's all go out and let the eldest brother have one last word with Mrs. Xie. That will complete their lifelong love as husband and wife."

Even though her son contradicted her in front of others, she was still so considerate. Who wouldn't praise her for being forgiving and kind?

Soon, the hall, which had been bustling just now, was empty except for a few of Wang Shaofu's confidants.

Wang Shaofu stared at the coffin motionlessly for a long time, then slowly walked over.

He put his hand on the coffin lid and exerted force suddenly, trying to open the coffin.

"grown ups!"

Wang Yong and Wang Wu wanted to help, but were stopped by Wang Shaofu with a look.

What kind of look is that?

Bewildered and cruel, like a desperate trapped beast, once the critical point is reached, it may rush forward and bite your neck, or even die immediately afterwards.

The two guards were frightened by this look and retreated repeatedly, not daring to move again.

Wang Shaofu had not eaten a single grain of rice or closed his eyes for four days. His body was like the last vestige of weakness. It took a lot of effort for the heavy coffin to be slowly pushed open.

Xie An Ning, floating in the air, looked into the coffin.

The Wang family did a good job of putting on a good show.

The 'self' inside had her appearance well-preserved, with her hair full of jewels and her face delicately made-up.

In the dead of winter, even if the body is kept for more than ten days, the smell of the body is not noticeable.

However, she died of illness. She had not had a proper meal in the last period of her life, and her face had become thin and unrecognizable.

Now that he has no breath at all, it is even more frightening.
