The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Chapter 224: Pursuing the truth
When the Yang family heard that the regent princess had arrived in person, Mrs. Yang ignored her sadness and quickly opened the middle door and led everyone in the Yang family to the gate to greet Gu Deyin.

This battle was quite big. When Gu Deyin saw it, he knew in his heart that she represented Xiao Mingzhang and came as soon as possible. This was an honor for the Yang family, so Mrs. Yang also gave her enough dignity. This was a matter of mutual benefit.

So when Mrs. Yang wanted to give her a gift, she quickly stepped forward and supported the old lady.

"There is no need to salute the old lady. Get up quickly. I am quite presumptuous in coming here. I am afraid that I will disturb the old lady's funeral..."

"Princess, please don't say that. This is offending me. Please come in quickly."

Old Mrs. Yang has a good family background. Her family's family status was supported by the old man. Her sons are all mediocre people. Now that the old man is gone, the Yang family is afraid that they will be defeated in the future. If they can get some favor from above, they will be better in the future. The Yang family still has a chance to make a comeback.

So Gu Deyin rushed over as soon as possible, and she was grateful.

As for the question of whether to stand in line or not, there is no need to worry about it now. The old man is dead, and he cannot be blamed for anything that happens in the future.

Of course, in the future, whether the world will belong to the regent or the little emperor, there are still two opinions.

It's just that her old man is stubborn and insists on being loyal to the emperor, so he has been unwilling to get close to the regent. In her opinion, this is the behavior of a fool. In comparison, the regent is more kingly.

So Gu Deyin helped her to strive for a good reputation, and she did not struggle to brush off her kindness, but the gratitude on her face must be there, otherwise she was ignorant.

After all, there are countless pairs of eyes staring at this scene.

The Yang family's nephew and female family members followed the two of them back to the house. The nephew was fine and had no interaction with Gu Deyin, but the female family members looked a little ugly.

They had met Gu Deyin before when she was the daughter-in-law of Xuanning Houfu, but at that time, her family had real power, so naturally they were not afraid of an honorable family like Xuanninghoufu, which had only a name but no real power, so it was not a big deal. He likes Gu Deyin, who has a high ranking in the Hou Mansion.

Unexpectedly, the situation changed, and Gu Deyin turned around and became the concubine regent, which made them feel quite uncomfortable.

The mourning hall was quickly decorated, and Gu Deyin came forward to express his condolences, and then Mrs. Yang accompanied her and sat in the main hall where guests were received.

After the greetings, Gu Deyin asked directly without going around in circles.

"Old madam, I have often seen the old man before. His body has always been strong and strong. I remember that he also likes to eat elbows. The prince often discusses state affairs with the old man until midnight, and the old man has no problem eating a single elbow. , why, just took a nap? "

Mrs. Yang's expression was a bit ugly, but she quickly covered up the ugliness with sadness and just said.

"Thank you, Princess, for still thinking about my old man. He used to say that the pork elbows cooked in the Palace are so authentic and cannot be compared to the ones made in the Palace. At that time, I thought that I must thank the Princess, but I didn't expect it. Before the trip could take place, the old man passed away..."

It seemed that when she got to the point where she was sad, she covered her face and started crying.

When other people saw the old lady crying, they also wiped away their tears, for fear of being accused of not being sad.

Gu Deyin had no choice but to comfort her, and then Mrs. Yang stopped her tears and continued.

"As people get older, they sleep less. The old man always takes a short nap before getting up to deal with business matters. But today he couldn't sleep. He was surprised and hurried to the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment. In the end, it was a step too late. The imperial doctor said that the old disease had recurred. The old man left..."

This statement was consistent with what was said during the funeral today, but Gu Deyin could still tell that Mrs. Yang was hiding something.

On normal days, she would not ask further questions, but today, she just wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"Old madam, let's have a few words alone."

What she said now was quite forceful and not in a discussion tone.

Mrs. Yang was stunned for a moment, unable to adapt to Gu Deyin's change of attitude. However, she was just stunned for a moment, and soon regained consciousness. Knowing that she could not refuse, she had no choice but to nod.

She turned her head and glanced at her children and grandchildren. Everyone understood, stood up, bowed to them, and left obediently.

When there were only Gu Deyin and Mrs. Yang in the room, Gu Deyin spoke in a serious tone.

"Your Majesty is away on an expedition in person. This is a troubled time at this time. Madam, the impact of your sudden death on the current situation, I don't need to say anything. Madam should also know..."

Mrs. Yang was startled, "Princess, do you doubt that my old man's death was not simple?"

Gu Deyin actually couldn't tell. She frowned and said, "It's hard to tell."

Mrs. Yang was silent. She knew Gu Deyin's reason for coming, but the family scandal was not to be publicized. There were some things she couldn't say. After all, it was related to the old man's face. Now that he was gone, his face couldn't be lost. Thinking of this, she put away her unnecessary expression and said softly, "Princess, my old man is just old. The time has come. There is no other reason. Now that you have expressed your condolences, please come back."

This is an eviction order.

Gu Deyin's face darkened. She could understand why Mrs. Yang wanted to cover up the truth about her death, but she understood, but her reason did not allow her to be emotional at this time.

"Old madam, I am here to find out the truth. If I didn't want to give you some dignity, I wouldn't be sitting here with you. The promise I can give you is that the truth I am pursuing is only It will exist here and will never be exposed so that the boss loses his dignity after death."

She has said her words to the fullest. If Mrs. Yang refuses to cooperate, then she will ask the Ministry of Justice to investigate. By then, what kind of rumors will be spread will be out of her control.

Mrs. Yang's body trembled slightly. She had underestimated the regent princess before.

After struggling internally for a long time, she finally stared at Gu Deyin with a pair of cloudy eyes, "Can the princess swear not to reveal a single word to the outside world?"

"I could have sworn it."

Gu Deyin raised her hand calmly and said, she has no grudges against the Yang family, what is she going to do to them?
Only then did Mrs. Yang tell the whole story.

Even though Mr. Yang was getting older, he still didn't change his lustful nature. He was given a young girl to warm his bed, which he gladly accepted. During this period, he quite doted on this bed-warming girl.

Unexpectedly, this bed-warming girl was restless. She had an affair with someone and was caught in the affair by Mr. Yang. He was so angry that Mr. Yang suddenly suffered from an old illness on the spot and died.

After saying all this, Mrs. Yang wiped away her tears and said, "He died so disgracefully, how could I dare to tell anyone about it? Princess, I am really ashamed to say this..."

She has always turned a blind eye to her husband's scandalous affairs. She didn't care when she was young, and now she is even less concerned when she is older. Who knew that this old man would actually fall into this?
Gu Deyin didn't expect the truth to be so ugly and ridiculous. A man would still miss an eighteen-year-old girl when he was eighty years old. He would complain, but it was hard to say whether there was something fishy in it.

Just a bed-warming girl, with no name and no status, why did Mr. Yang get so angry that he died of an old illness?

"Old madam, you didn't tell the truth."

She spoke volumes.

When Mrs. Yang heard this, she was startled again. The Princess Regent's senses were really sharp, and she immediately hit the part she wanted to hide most.

After struggling in her heart for a while, she finally said with a look of defeat and hatred.

"That bitch doesn't hook up with anyone, but he hooked up with my eldest grandson. Otherwise, how could the old man be so angry? What a misfortune for our family..."

Gu Deyin was really shocked this time. Is he so bloody?

After finishing the inner gossip, she comforted Mrs. Yang for a few words, and then she asked to meet this bed-warming girl.

Mrs. Yang has told all the most unsightly family scandals, so naturally she won't hide her dirty tricks from the public.

Soon, the servants escorted in a young woman who was tied up.

The woman was beaten until there was no good skin on her body, and she was kicked to the ground as soon as she came.

Gu Deyin frowned slightly, it seemed that the Yang family had used lynching, "Raise your head, let me take a look..."

Before she finished speaking, the woman suddenly raised her head and stared at Gu Deyin with a pair of red and swollen eyes.

Gu Deyin was stunned. Although the face was swollen into a pig's head, she could still vaguely recognize the person.

When the woman saw Gu Deyin's face clearly, she ignored the people who were escorting her behind her, forced herself to kneel forward, and said, "Second sister-in-law, please save me. I don't want to die here, second sister-in-law..."

When the woman suddenly called Gu Deyin Second Sister-in-law, everyone present was confused.

Mrs. Yang was the first to react. She opened her eyes wide and asked, "Are you from the Xu family?"

The woman shrank when she heard Mrs. Yang's voice. Finally, in order to survive, she raised her head and looked directly at Gu Deyin and nodded.

"I am the concubine of the Xu family's eldest family."
