She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

He didn't even cry when he learned about his life story yesterday.

Now that he saw the woman who had raised him for many years had lost her breath, he could no longer bear it.

"Concubine mother." Shangguan Zishu shouted heartbreakingly.

But the person on the bed could no longer respond to him.

As the news from the palace spread.

The Pingyang Marquis' Mansion also received the news soon and was needless to say shocked.

The current Marquis of Pingyang, Luo Yichen, is Concubine Luo's brother, and he had a very good relationship with the prince back then.

Ever since his sister schemed to enter the palace, their relationship has become distant.

Concubine Luo married into the prince's palace and gave birth to a son, who later became the crown prince.

This is certainly a good thing for their Marquisate.

The Pingyang Marquisate has been on the decline. The title of marquis is the last one for the next generation, and the next generation can only have the title of earl.

The Marquis' Mansion has no outstanding children, only a prestigious title.

So they are very optimistic about Shangguan Zishu.

Just waiting for him to come back and help my grandparents after he has achieved great things.

As a result, the news shocked Pingyang Hou so much that he almost choked to death on his breakfast.

Early in the morning, he was having breakfast when the housekeeper hurried in to report to him that two women in Prince Rong's mansion had hanged themselves last night.

One of them was Concubine Luo, the aunt of the Marquis's Mansion.

"What did you say?" Pingyang Hou slapped the food stuck in his throat, calmed down, and asked loudly.

"My Lord, it's true." Seeing that the Lord didn't believe it, the butler nodded vigorously.

Pingyang Hou's face turned cold.

That's okay.

He had to go and get an explanation.

Marquis Pingyang immediately found his wife, packed up a little, changed his clothes, and got on a carriage to Prince Rong's Mansion.

When he arrived at Prince Rong's Mansion, he asked the gatekeeper whether it was true that Concubine Luo committed suicide.

Only when he got a positive answer did he truly believe it.

Then, without anyone leading him, he led his wife directly into Concubine Luo's yard.

Then he saw Shangguan Zishu lying beside Concubine Luo's bed, crying loudly.

The prince and princess just stood quietly by.

There was also a woman who looked very much like her younger sister, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying. She was being supported and comforted by the eldest young lady's wife.

"My Lord." The prince just bowed. Since the guest is here, he should take the initiative.

"Your Highness, my sister was fine, why did she commit suicide? The palace must give an explanation."

When Pingyang Hou saw his sister lying lifeless on the bed, he was so angry that his tone was full of questions.

Normally, when he saw the prince, he would smile and take the initiative to greet him, and would never dare to speak to the prince in such an unreasonable way.

"Alas, I cannot bring myself to speak of the scandalous affairs of Prince Rong's Mansion. Ziqi, please be more articulate and tell the Marquis about it. She is his sister after all."

The prince did not intend to hide it from him. As a member of his wife's family, Marquis Pingyang had the right to know.

At the same time, he also wanted to know how his sister entered the palace and what kind of person the young lady of his Pingyang Marquis Mansion was like. He would probably be too embarrassed to tell anyone.

Yu Yuanzheng helped Shangguan Ru sit on the chair, then stepped forward and squatted towards Marquis Pingyang.

Then she told the story of the ugly things that happened in the palace.

But it undoubtedly stabbed Shangguan Ru and Shangguan Zishu in the heart again.

Of course, Yu Yuanzheng did not tell anyone how the third branch treated Shangguan Ru.

There's no need to let Marquis Pingyang know that.

After listening to Yu Yuanzheng's story, Pingyang Hou and his wife simply couldn't believe it.

Back then, his sister was not raped by the prince, but by Shangguan Hongchen from the second house.

Moreover, Shangguan Zishu is not the child of Shangguan Hongchen and his sister, but the child of the third wife.

Shangguan Ru is his biological niece.

He was so angry that he wanted to kill Shangguan Hongchen.

"Let's go find that bastard." At this time, Pingyang Hou had lost his mind and even dared to say curse words in front of the prince.

He pulled his wife and went angrily towards the second house.

When she reached the second room, she rushed in without caring about anything. The maids and servants could not stop her, nor did they dare to stop her.

At this time, the second wife felt as if the sky had fallen.

The second wife kept wiping her tears beside the second master's bed.

She would never have thought that her husband would dare to do such a thing.

No wonder the second lady and my husband care so much about Zishu.

All this is because in their hearts, that is the second wife's child.

Later, Zishu inherited the throne, which means that the second branch inherited the throne.

How dare they.

They never thought about what the consequences would be if the prince found out one day.

The prince is the only legitimate eldest son of the Shangguan family.

They actually dared to plot against the prince in this way.

Now the secret is finally revealed.

The second wife is about to be expelled from the palace. How will they live in the future?

The second master was lying on the bed, moaning.

He had lived for forty-one years and had never received such a severe punishment.

Thirty military sticks easily took half his life.

However, the secret guards who beat people were very skillful. They did not break any bones, but only injured the skin and flesh, causing pain but not taking anyone's life.

At this point, he grimaced in pain even when he moved.

At this moment, there was a noise outside the door.

Then someone rushed into the room.

"Shangguan Hongchen, you bastard, I'm going to beat you to death."

Marquis Pingyang had never been so angry in his life.

He didn't care that the second wife was present, he just went up and pulled the man off the bed to the ground, then kicked him hard.

The second master was already seriously injured, and this time it was even more serious. He screamed as loudly as a pig being slaughtered.

"My Lord, you can't do that. My husband was beaten with thirty military sticks yesterday. If you kick him again, he will die." The second wife shouted anxiously.

She wanted to stop them, but was stopped by the wife of Marquis Pingyang.

He kicked the Second Master five times in a row, and only withdrew his kicks when he saw that the Second Master was about to pass out from the pain.

He really didn't dare to kick him to death. After all, Shangguan Hongchen was a member of the royal palace and the son of the old Prince Rong.

The second master, lying on the ground, kept crying out in pain.

His face was terribly pale.

I really felt like I was going to die in the next moment.

"Hmph, you've brought this upon yourself, and you deserve to die." Marquis Pingyang had no sympathy for him at all.

In the past, the two of them had been to brothels and drank together.

But that was also for the sake of being a young man from the royal palace, so we made friends with him.

He didn't expect that he had harmed his sister many years ago. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and he wanted to kick him again.

But he was stopped by the Marquis' wife.

"My husband, forget it. If someone dies, it won't be worth it to blame my mansion. We are here to solve the problem. We can't let my sister die in vain." The Marquis's wife was very calm.

The dead cannot be resurrected, but they have to take care of their affairs after death.

"Shangguan Hongchen, you must give an explanation to my mansion today, otherwise I will beat you every time I see you in the future. I will keep my word." Pingyang Hou was unusually tough.

He had never dared to be so tough in front of the people in Prince Rong's Mansion before.

"People...people...are dead. What do you want...to explain?" The second master finally caught his breath and spoke in a broken voice.

He also didn't expect that the woman was so depressed that she actually hanged herself.

He didn't even think about what would happen to a woman who was old and ugly and was divorced.

The Marquis' Mansion had no room for her.

"My sister married into the palace for twenty-two years, but ended up being divorced and committing suicide. And all this is because of you."

"How can you blame me for this? It was she who plotted against the eldest brother but failed. I just took advantage of her. If she had been a womanizer, she wouldn't be in this situation today?" The second master didn't think it was his fault.

Luo Xinyi did it herself.
