After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince
Chapter 41: Crushing bones and ashes
As soon as I stepped into Biyun Courtyard, Lingfu came to greet me.
"Auntie, you're finally back! I heard that Fourth Miss... Are you alright?"
Wu Weiwei turned around at her and said with a smile, "Look, I'm perfectly fine, everything in the yard is alright, isn't it?"
"Well, everything else is fine, except..."
Seeing Lingfu hesitate, Wanqiu looked at her curiously, "What's wrong?"
Lingfu usually speaks her mind freely, but she has never been like this before.
Seeing Lingfu staring at her with a strange expression, Wu Weiwei thought of Qingwen and her heart skipped a beat.
"how?"
"Auntie, when you went to Yong'an Hall just now, Cuiyun, who serves the young master, came over..."
What did she say?
Wu Weiwei's expression was serious.
Seeing her like this, Wanqiu also became nervous.
"That is, Cuiyun said that the young master dug up the cousin's grave and even shattered her bones into ashes."
she whispered.
"Ah, why?"
Miss Biao is not the prince's favorite, so why would he...?
Wanqiu exclaimed in surprise.
But in an instant, she looked at her own aunt.
But Wu Weiwei remained expressionless.
"Because that corpse didn't belong to Miss Biao at all, right, Lingfu?"
"Aunt, how did you know?"
Lingfu exclaimed in surprise.
Wu Weiwei smiled wryly, "I guessed."
It seems my plan to prevent the female lead from returning has failed.
When Cuiyun came over and spoke to her, Lingfu was shocked.
But if the body buried at Lingjiu Mountain is not Miss Cousin's, then where did the real Miss Cousin go?
Tongzhou, Jianghe Pharmacy.
"Sister-in-law, let me prescribe a few prescriptions for you first. Take them home and take them for now. I will prescribe more for you after your condition improves."
"Thank you, Dr. Bei. I really don't know how to thank you enough. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would be..."
The elderly woman held her hand, repeatedly expressing her gratitude.
He Yuyan frowned slightly and subtly withdrew her hand from hers.
"As a doctor, this is what I should do."
After the woman left, He Yuyan got up and prepared to close the shop.
The old lady told her to go home early today, saying that she was about to get married and there were some things she needed to clarify with her.
“Young lady, I can close the door, why are you doing it yourself?”
Dingxiang came out from the backyard and saw the girl struggling to carry the long plank. She couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
"It's alright. Since this is the life I've chosen, I'll face it alone."
After the master and servant worked together to close the shop door, He Yuyan bought some food from the stall before heading towards the Jiangyang County Government Office.
Since the engagement, the old lady seems to have gradually revealed her true colors.
Today it's not about salt and oil money, tomorrow it's about Jiang Yang's clothes getting old and needing new ones, and He Yuyan tolerated all of this.
But these past few days, the old lady has actually started to probe, asking how much money her deceased parents had left her.
It sounded like they wanted her to hand over everything so they could keep it for her.
For Jiang Yang's sake, she endured it.
After all, she knew that once she married into the Jiang family, she and Jiang Yang would be husband and wife.
Jiang Yang treated her so well; she should have done her part to help him get promoted.
But when she chose him, she didn't want him to have a successful official career or a life of wealth.
If that were the case, why did she choose to escape from the Marquis's mansion and instead come to the impoverished and remote Tongzhou with him to live a life of hardship?
If she willingly gives it up, that's her choice; if she doesn't want to, no one can force her.
"Young lady, the old lady asked you to go home for dinner today, is it because she's after your money again?"
"Dingxiang, do you think I'm an unfit 'daughter-in-law'?"
The old lady asked her for money, but she made excuses not to give it to her. Could it be that she really did something wrong?
Dingxiang sighed.
“What are you saying, young lady? Dingxiang is your maid. I was just being kind to you. How could I possibly advise you to give the money to the old lady?”
He Yuyan smiled faintly.
Fortunately, she not only had Jiang Yang by her side, but also a loyal maid.
As soon as the two arrived at the entrance of the county government office, Jiang Yang came to greet them.
"Yan'er, didn't I tell you not to bring anything over anymore? Doing this makes it seem like we're getting distant."
Jiang Yang rarely put on a stern face, and pretended to be angry.
"Brother Jiang, I just felt it wouldn't be right to come empty-handed."
Jiang Yang pinched her cute little nose. "Don't do that again next time, or I'll really get angry."
"it is good."
He Yan'er snuggled her head into his arms.
Gently rubbing her head, Jiang Yang said, "I know what Mother has been doing lately."
Yan'er, please be patient for a while.
After the wedding, I will move out of the county government office and live with you at the Jianghe Pharmacy. Then you won't be living with your mother, and she probably won't cause any trouble.
If she asks you for money or anything else in the next few days, try to handle it if you can.
If not, I'll tell her that I'm her son, and she can't really take her anger out on me..."
The two walked into the backyard together, and Jiang Yang began to give He Yuyan a long, detailed explanation.
Dingxiang stepped slightly behind and walked behind. Seeing how much the young master doted on his daughter, she felt that the girl was still worth it.
Just as one wave of trouble at the Marquis's residence subsided, another arose.
In just one afternoon, the news that the young lady had faked her death spread throughout the entire Marquis's mansion.
Qingsong Courtyard.
"Aunt Wu, you've arrived."
Cuiyun said warmly.
"Hmm, how is your young master?"
Wu Weiwei peeked inside and spoke in a softer voice.
"The Crown Prince is in the study."
Since learning the truth about his cousin's faked death, the young master hasn't eaten for a whole day. Aunt, please go and persuade him!
Hunger strike?
He's quite devoted, actually.
Wu Weiwei nodded to Cuiyun and carried the food toward the Bamboo Garden Study.
According to the plot of the novel, the heroine will be brought back by the prince after yesterday's spring banquet.
But because of her obstruction and the butterfly effect, the Crown Prince has not yet set off.
So, the book says that when the female lead was found by the prince, she was already engaged to the male supporting character, and they were just one step away from getting married.
The journey from the capital to Tongzhou takes anywhere from ten days to half a month.
According to the plot of the book, even if the prince were to ride at full speed to Tongzhou now...
It will be at least ten days from now?
So, in these ten days, has the female lead already married Jiang Yang and had a wedding night prank?
Thinking about this soon-to-be-realized fact, Wu Weiwei smiled.
Pushing open the door, one sees the Crown Prince sitting listlessly at his desk.
He was also holding a wine jar in his hand.
The portrait of the female lead, which was spread out on the table last time, was the very same one.
Upon seeing it was her, Lu Hanting gave her a cold glance and said, "Get out!"
Wu Weiwei was stunned.
This man is far too materialistic!
He just found out his beloved was still alive, and he's already giving her the cold shoulder?
If we wait for the female lead to return, wouldn't that...?
However, she was not so easy to please.
She lowered her eyes, her face quickly replacing them with an innocent, utterly forlorn expression as she looked at him.
"Your Highness, I heard from Cuiyun that you haven't eaten all day."
Drinking on an empty stomach is bad for your health, so I've brought you some food to tide you over.
Even if it's just for your cousin who didn't die, you should still eat something, right?
