So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

The maids who remained in the courtyard were all deeply moved upon hearing this.

They were slightly taken aback at first, then quickly exchanged glances.

They had long felt that the general's mansion was getting worse day by day. A few days ago, they heard that the mansion's accounts were in dire straits and it looked like they were about to go hungry. Even whether the monthly wages could be paid on time was now uncertain.

Once the manor runs out of money, being sold off is an inevitable outcome. After all, who in this world would support a group of idle people for nothing?

Thinking of this, a barely perceptible sense of relief and awe flashed in each other's eyes.

This lady is tough, which shows that she can keep things under control. She might even be able to lead the people in this courtyard to a good life. Moreover, she is backed by the Yun family, the most famous and largest imperial merchant family. It's impossible for them to lack money. As long as they serve her diligently, their future should not be too bad.

Seeing that the maids' expressions had achieved the desired effect, Canglan said to Lianqiao, "Lianqiao, the room should be ready now. Please take me back to rest."

After saying that, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she turned to the servants in the courtyard and instructed them, "Fang Yuhong's body will probably not be brought back until tonight. You should all go and rest. There's a good show to watch tonight."

Although Lian Qiao did not understand what her young mistress meant, she would go through fire and water for her mistress as long as it was her mistress's word.

She was still feeling sorry for her young mistress. Just the day before, she was overjoyed to be marrying into the Fang family and had prepared gifts for everyone in the family. She had put so much effort into it. Who could have imagined that General Fang would die so soon after she married into the family? His death was so unfortunate.

Won't I be left to live like a widow from now on?

Fortunately, Miss has become quite formidable. Look at the Fang family; none of them are easy to deal with. If Miss were weak and easily bullied, who knows how badly she would have been bullied.

Before long, dusk was falling, and the Fang family was bustling with activity as the coffin containing Fang Yuhong's body was slowly carried into the mourning hall.

Madam Fang immediately sent someone to Shangqing Courtyard to summon Canglan. Fang Yuwan also stood to the side. After exchanging a glance, the two began to wail loudly: "My son, how could you be so heartless as to leave us so early!" The crying was earth-shattering and extremely tragic.

"Brother, today is your wedding day. How can you disregard your own health? What are we going to do after this?"

……

On the other side, Lian Qiao informed Cang Lan of Madam Fang's summons, but Cang Lan remained calm and said, "Let's serve the dishes first. After a long day of work, everyone must be hungry."

Before long, the food was served. Cang Lan looked at the servants around her and said in a calm tone, "You should all eat too. You need to be full to have the energy to do your work."

The maids of Shangqing Courtyard were all taken aback. They hadn't expected their new master to be so approachable. They were all flattered and thanked him before going to eat.

In the front hall, Madam Fang and Fang Yuwan had been crying for a while. Granny Zhang quietly walked to Madam Fang's side and whispered a few words in her ear.

Madam Fang's face turned deathly pale instantly, and her heart skipped a beat as a bad premonition washed over her. Then, she heard the maid beside her stammer, "Madam, the young mistress said...she'll come over after...dinner."

Upon hearing this, Madam Fang and Fang Yuwan trembled with anger. Fang Yuwan gritted her teeth and whispered, "Mother, what's going on? Didn't brother say that that bitch Yun Muqing was very fond of him? Now that brother has just left, why is she so indifferent? She doesn't seem sad or upset at all. Did she already know about our plan?"

A flicker of panic crossed Madam Fang's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure, taking a deep breath to suppress her anger.

"She really is a worthless piece of trash. Her husband died, and she didn't even show the slightest grief. She doesn't even respect me, her mother-in-law. Now she won't even bother with appearances. She's truly a fool!"

But whether Yun Muqing knows it or not, this show must continue. When she arrives, she will definitely be taught a lesson.

There's nothing we can do about her right now, so we can only wait patiently.

So the mother and daughter stopped wailing and sat down to the side. They seemed to be overwhelmed with grief, but in reality, their eyes were empty and showed no sign of sorrow.

Not long after, Canglan appeared silently.

She stood aside, coldly observing the mother and daughter before her, a mocking smile playing on her lips, and said, "I'd like to ask, why do his own mother and sister show no sign of grief here now that my husband is gone? That's really strange."

Upon hearing the sound, Fang Yuwan and her wife stiffened abruptly, a hint of embarrassment flashing across their faces as if they had been discovered.

Fang Yuwan immediately stood up, pointed at Cang Lan and said loudly, "Yun Muqing, stop making baseless accusations! My mother and I are just overwhelmed with grief, how dare you slander us like this!"

Now that my brother is gone, you're still bullying my mother-in-law and sister-in-law in front of him. I think you don't respect my brother at all.

Put your head down, my foot!

Cang Lan completely ignored Madam Fang and her daughter, striding towards the half-covered coffin. She looked down at Fang Yuhong inside the coffin.

His face was pale, and he was completely lifeless!

He acted quite convincingly, it seems he took some kind of Rejuvenating Pill. However, since he chose to play dead, she wanted to see how long he and Lin Shuang'er could stay outside without her money!

But we can't let him off so easily right now!

Fang Yuwan and Madam Fang were startled by Cang Lan's sudden step toward the coffin, and a hint of panic flashed in their eyes.

Madam Fang gave Fang Yuwan a look that was ruthless and resolute, as if to say, "Proceed according to plan. We must not let her ruin our plans."

Fang Yuyu understood immediately and stepped forward, her face twisted with anger. She pointed at Cang Lan and cursed, "Yun Muqing, you're a jinx! If my brother hadn't wanted to come back and marry you as soon as possible, he wouldn't have been rushing so desperately, and his injuries wouldn't have worsened, leading to his death on the way back."

Do you know? My brother had already won a great victory in this battle. If he had returned to court a few days later, the emperor would surely have rewarded him, and a promotion would have been just around the corner! But now, you've ruined all of that!"

She became more and more agitated as she spoke, her eyes reddening, and the muscles in her face trembling slightly with anger, as if she were truly heartbroken over Fang Yuhong's death.

This scene was performed with remarkable skill. Fang Yuwan's grief-stricken expression and tearful accusations were so convincing that anyone who saw her would be fooled into believing that she was a loving younger sister who deeply cherished her brother and was heartbroken over his death.

This is why the original owner treated her sister-in-law, who bullied her, so well, even preparing her dowry. It's all thanks to this "good show" now!
