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

Just then, a servant announced from outside the door: "Your Highness, Granny Zhang requests an audience."

Cang Lan raised an eyebrow slightly. "Let her in."

Granny Zhang swayed her obese body as she walked in, her waistline jiggling with each step.

She gave a laborious bow, her face plastered with a fawning smile, and said, "Princess, Princess, you are truly remarkable!"

Canglan remained calm and gestured for her to continue.

Granny Zhang quickly added, "Just now, Fang Yuwan and Lin Shuang'er went out."

Not trusting them, I secretly followed them. Guess what? They first went to the "Fine Silk Shop" and picked out several clothes there, all made of fine silks and satins, very exquisite.

Then she went to 'Xiangyun Pavilion' and bought a bunch of rouge and face powder. Finally, she went to 'Juzhenlou' and ordered a table full of delicious dishes, all of which could be taken home.

Granny Zhang paused, licked her lips, and continued, "I was listening from the side, and they actually put all these grievances on your behalf, Your Highness! This is too much of a bullying!"

Upon hearing this, Lian Qiao's eyebrows shot up, and she said angrily, "What kind of people are they? They're going too far! They put the bill under Miss's name when she went to 'Jishetang' for treatment, and now they're causing trouble at these other shops!"

"Miss, please wait here. I'll go to those shops right away and make things clear. Their accounts have absolutely nothing to do with the Yun family!"

Cang Lan raised her hand and waved it gently, "Don't worry about them. If they want to put it on my tab, then let them."

Seeing Lian Qiao's puzzled expression, Cang Lan smiled faintly and explained, "In a few days, I will leave the Fang residence in style."

"I didn't spend this money, so if they come asking for it back, I'll have no idea. At worst, I'll take it to the authorities; those people won't easily offend me, much less become enemies of the Yun family."

Seeing this, Lianqiao gave up.

Then Canglan instructed Lianqiao to give Granny Zhang some reward money. Granny Zhang was overjoyed and left Shangqing Courtyard with profuse thanks.

……

"Mother, please eat quickly. These are all the signature dishes of 'Juzhenlou'. They've all been charged to Yun Muqing. She spends so much money every day, she definitely can't remember where she bought these things or how much she spent."

Fang Yuwan said smugly as she stuffed a mouthful of food into her mouth.

Immediately, a look of jealousy appeared on her face, and she said sourly, "She's just a merchant's daughter. What she eats, uses, and wears isn't top-notch? Which noble lady in the capital can compare to her in terms of food, clothing, and daily necessities? She's truly extravagant."

Lin Shuang'er listened from the side, feeling extremely jealous.

Recalling that she had never received such treatment before or after being with Fang Yuhong, she couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark: "That's right, just now at 'Qiluofang,' the fabric of those clothes was something I've never worn in my entire life. My cousin and Chengze have never worn clothes made of such fine material either."

As she spoke, she even wiped her eyes in a mocking manner, putting on a sad expression.

Sitting in the main seat, listening to the two of them, Fang sighed impatiently and said, "Alright, even eating can't shut you up."

Fang glared at Lin Shuang'er, increasingly disliking Lin Shuang'er's petty and narrow-minded manner.

Immediately afterwards, Madam Fang put down her chopsticks, her expression turned serious, and said, "You two, after you finish eating, go and tidy up that scenic courtyard in the backyard tonight, bury your eldest brother there, and let him rest in peace."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuwan frowned and said reluctantly, "Mother, look at my hands, they're for rough work. If my hands are injured, how can I get married?"

Lin Shuang'er quickly made an excuse, saying, "Madam, Chengze might have a fever tonight, and I have to stay with him. I really can't leave."

Fang's face instantly darkened. With a loud "bang," she slammed her large hand on the table, glaring at Fang Yuwan before yelling, "That was your older brother! His body is barely cold, and you're already thinking about slacking off! Given our family's current situation, we need to quickly resolve your brother's matter so that no one else can find out!"

Then, Fang turned to Lin Shuang'er and said coldly, "Chengze will be guarded by me and Granny Zhang tonight, so you don't need to worry about him. If you really care about this family, don't make excuses here. If people find out that you had an affair with my son before marriage, ten of you wouldn't be enough to kill you!"

Fang Yuwan and Lin Shuang'er lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound after being scolded.

Before long it was midnight, and it was pitch black.

Fang Yuwan and Lin Shuang'er reluctantly came to the backyard with their tools.

Lin Shuang'er had been digging for quite a while, but Fang Yuwan was still dawdling and didn't want to move. In order to get back as soon as possible, she could only urge Fang Yuwan: "Yuwan, hurry up!"

Seeing this, Fang Yuwan could only pretend to dig for a while, but soon she began to complain: "Oh, my arms hurt and my back is so sore. Shuang'er, I'll rest for a while. You've done this since you were little, so you'll definitely do it better than me. Just wait for me to rest for a while and I'll be fine."

Although Lin Shuang'er was dissatisfied, she dared not say anything because she was living under someone else's roof, and could only grit her teeth and continue digging.

Fang Yuwan also stopped to rest from time to time. The two of them put in a lot of effort and finally dug a big pit.

They hurriedly carried Fang Yuhong's body inside, quickly covered it with soil, and tamped it down with their feet. Exhausted and panting, they then hastily left the backyard.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the streets and alleys of the capital, a day that should have been peaceful and serene. However, a piece of news, like a bombshell, caused a huge uproar among the crowd: Fang Yuhong, the deceased general of the Fang family, actually had an illegitimate child.

The topic was being discussed everywhere – in streets and alleys, teahouses, and private schools.

"Have you heard? Something terrible has happened at General Fang's mansion! Fang Yuhong has an illegitimate child!"

"Is this news true?" someone asked skeptically, unable to resist interjecting, "I heard that General Fang was exceptionally good to his betrothed wife. He even risked his life to return for the wedding ceremony in order to marry her, which aggravated his injuries and led to his death."

"Tch, you're so wrong! This news came from the doctor at Jishetang. That illegitimate son was bragging to Princess Yun that he would be the heir of the General's Mansion. He was punished by the princess yesterday. The doctor saw that the child was the illegitimate son of the heir of the Fang family and was estimated to be about four or five years old."

"Oh dear, no wonder I heard that after the young master Fang died, he immediately gave the county princess a letter of divorce. He probably wrote it beforehand, thinking he would return after achieving military merit and then dissolve his engagement with the county princess!"
