Chapter 97 National Mourning
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

His Majesty looked at his little son crying below, and fell on his back without any warning!

All the officials and their families standing on both sides of the hall watched these shocking events with shudders in fear.

Xie Shuning was even more confused. What was going on? Why didn’t things develop like in the previous life?
She was so shocked by the Seventh Prince's repeated calls of "Father" that she felt as if she were struck by lightning.

In the previous life, the Seventh Prince was able to ascend the throne with the support of Prince Qing, was it because Prince Qing was his biological father? !
Kang Jintang was also trembling, he really wanted to cut Xie Shuning into pieces.

How could he have any career in the future? It was all ruined by Xie Shuning!
Zhong and Rong Peilan supported each other and looked at each other in surprise. Neither of them had expected that they would witness such a royal secret at the last moment.

-

It was already afternoon when Rong Peilan and Zhong returned home.

The mansion was also in a mess, and the servants in the mansion were trembling with fear and didn't know what to do.

When the two doormen saw the lady and the young lady coming back, they burst into tears and said, "Madam, you are finally back."

Zhong's legs were a little weak, but she still managed to hold on.

Rong Peilan thought about what happened to Manager Wu and Bai Yu before she left. Even though she still didn't want to believe it, such a huge change in the mansion still needed someone to deal with it.

She whispered, "Where are Manager Wu and Bai Yu?"

The expressions of the two doormen darkened. "Butler Wu is no longer alive. Sister Bai Yu..."

Manager Wu was killed outside the flower hall. His body had not been dealt with in time, and only a piece of white cloth was covered on him.

Bai Yu was humiliated on the spot by Guan Jinghong in front of everyone, and there was not a single piece of good flesh left on his body.

Bai Yu huddled in the corner, her clothes torn and her eyes dull.

She screamed and cried from time to time, and no one could get close to her.

Rong Peilan looked at her and just sighed slightly.

He waved his hand towards Chen Chun and said, "Knock her out and let the court doctor check her out."

Chen Chun's knife was sharp and swift, and he chopped off the back of her neck, causing Bai Yu to faint.

Ji Xing trotted in from outside, "Madam, Young Madam! His Majesty has passed away!"

Rong Peilan and Zhong looked at each other, was he really dead this time?
Ji Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The death knell in the palace has rung!"

Zhong was the first to react. "Quick, get Bai out first, Manager Wu——"

She took two steps, remembered something, turned around and saw a person covered with a white cloth on the ground. She couldn't help feeling sad.

"Mr. Wu has no children in his life. The mountain behind our farm has good feng shui. We will give Mr. Wu a proper burial."

Jixing slowly lowered his head, "Yes..."

As the sky gradually darkened, dull bell sounds could be heard from the palace.

This is the death knell for the country.

The eunuchs in the palace wore mourning clothes, carried the funeral bell and began to go from street to street to announce the death.

Overnight, the entire capital was covered in white.

I only heard that the imperial concubine was heartbroken and had already passed away with His Majesty.

The concubine's suicide for love was just a fig leaf.

Not only the imperial concubine, but also the three-year-old child probably has no chance of survival.

During the period of national mourning, drinking, feasting, and visiting relatives and friends are prohibited.

Ji Yunzhang had not returned home for many days. Rong Peilan did not expect that the first people to come to his house would be Song and Xie Shuning.

When Rong Peilan heard Haitang's report, she thought Haitang had mistaken someone.

During the national mourning period, they still dare to come, are they really not afraid of death? !

Looking at Song and Xie Shuning, who were wearing servants' coarse cloth, Rong Peilan frowned. "Don't my aunt and cousin know that this is a period of national mourning?"

Song put on a flattering smile, "Sister Lan, if it weren't for something very important, your aunt wouldn't dare to come to your house at this time!"

She couldn't help but move her butt forward a few inches on the stool, a little closer to Rong Peilan.

"My nephew's husband is now a big hit in front of the nobles, and Sister Lan's blessing is still to come!"

Xie Shuning was different from Song's flattery. He looked dazed from the moment he entered the room and kept muttering something different, different.

Even when Song called her, she was unaware.

Rong Peilan ignored Song's compliments, just looked at Xie Shuning's abnormal appearance, and said calmly, "There is no doctor in my house. If my aunt wants to see my cousin, it's better to go to the clinic."

Song almost couldn't hold back the smile on her face. She could only glance at her daughter who had become weird since the day she castrated herself.

"Nothing, your sister is fine, she's just too scared."

"Afraid?" Rong Peilan sneered, "Cousin, you feel afraid now? Why didn't you think of being afraid when you expressed your loyalty to the rebel king?"

Song was finally embarrassed, "Sister Lan has married into a rich family now. Aunt has only said three words to you since you came in, but Sister Lan started to attack you with sarcasm. Are you annoyed that your aunt, who raised you, is bothering you?!"

Rong Peilan looked at Song's changing face and snorted coldly, "Aunt is brave and fearless, but Lan'er is very timid. What's the situation now? You came to my house in disguise like this, does uncle know?"

Song's face twitched, but Xie Qingde naturally didn't know about it. He was a conservative person to begin with. If he knew that she went out in disguise and violated the etiquette, he would probably really divorce her!
As soon as Rong Peilan saw Song's expression, she knew that they had gone out secretly.

Although I don't know why they would take such a big risk to come to my house, it's definitely not a good thing.

Thinking of this, Rong Peilan stood up while holding her belly, "Aunt, you should go back quickly. If my uncle and the palace blame us, I can't bear it."

Xie Shuning's attention was attracted by Rong Peilan's round belly. She suddenly stood up as if stimulated by something and rushed over.

He was still shouting, "Why is it still like this! Why is it still like this!"

Due to the sudden change, Rong Peilan had no time to dodge and could only turn sideways to protect her stomach.

The imagined pain did not come, only a wailing sound was heard.

When he opened his eyes again, he saw Chen Chun knocking Xie Shuning down with one punch.

Under Xie Shuning's nose, two bright red bloodstains meandered down from his nasal cavity.

Song herself was reluctant to touch her daughter, but now she was beaten by a servant until she bled.

She no longer cared about the purpose of coming to the Marquis' Mansion. She lost her mind when she saw her daughter injured. She didn't care about the etiquette of a noble lady and rushed up to fight with Chen Chun.

"How dare you hit my daughter? I'll tear you apart!"

Chen Chun simply stretched out a hand and gave a gentle push, and Song took several steps back, losing her balance and falling to the ground.

Song started practicing her familiar routine again, sitting on the ground and slapping her thighs.

"What a sin! I worked so hard to raise my eldest sister-in-law's daughter..."

"aunt."

Rong Peilan interrupted her, her little face full of anger, "If you want to cry, go out and cry louder!"

"Go and get everyone in Yanjing to cry over here, so they can see how I, your niece, bully you, your aunt!"

Song suddenly stopped crying. It was a different time now and she had specially disguised herself before going out. How could she dare to go out and cry?

The injured Xie Shuning was unaware that the blood from his nose had already flowed down to his chin. The front of his clothes was soaked with blood, which looked horrifying.

She just stared at Rong Peilan's belly, and occasionally let out some strange laughs.

Chen Chun looked at Xie Shuning's creepy appearance, and without waiting for the young lady's instructions, he stepped forward, grabbed her lapel and belt, and lifted her up!

In the astonished eyes of everyone in the front hall, he threw the man out!
