After An Ming said this somewhat complicatedly, he looked at Lin Jinglan intently, wanting to see if she was angry or sad.

To An Ming's surprise, Lin Jinglan's expression was very calm, showing no emotion or anger at all, as if she had expected such a thing.

On the other hand, Uncle Qi and Su Xiaoluo were angry and angry.

"I didn't even look for the young lady, but now I say that the young lady is dead, and give the young lady such an unpleasant reputation. It's really too much."

Su Xiaoluo slammed the table, wishing she could go and cause a scene in Dingbeihou Mansion right now.

"Master Hou, they have indeed gone too far."

Uncle Qi also frowned and said, after the Marquis and others came back, the young lady must have had a very difficult time in the Marquis' mansion.

"Lan'er, you said you are dead, how can you marry me now? After all, we are about to get married."

Gu Junheng smiled and leaned closer to Lin Jinglan and asked softly.

"Getting married? If my guess is correct, my father has already asked Your Majesty to cancel our marriage. After all, I am a dead person and can no longer delay the marriage of the noble Lord."

In fact, Lin Jinglan's guess was correct.

"Madam, you are so powerful. The Marquis of Dingbei went to the palace the day before yesterday to express his love to His Majesty, requesting to cancel the engagement. However, His Majesty's attitude is unclear and he has not given any clear instructions."

An Ming nodded, with a slight look of admiration on his face. He was indeed the person their prince wanted to marry. He was indeed different from the ladies in the capital.

"How can this be good?"

Gu Junheng seemed to be joking again and said something to Lin Jinglan.

Lin Jinglan turned her head, with a smile on her lips.

"Don't worry, Prince Jun, we will definitely get married."

A simple sentence, as if expressing love to Gu Junheng.

Prince Jun, who had always been arrogant and arrogant, suddenly felt his face getting hot and his heartbeat quickening.

What did she mean when she said this? Did she really want to get married to herself? Did she have a different idea about herself?

Lin Jinglan had no idea what was going on in Gu Junheng's heart.

"Since my funeral is in full swing, if I don't join in the fun, won't I let down some people's wishes? I have a day off today and set off early tomorrow. I must arrive in the capital at the busiest time."

No one objected to Lin Jinglan's decision.

After the group finished eating, they went back to their rooms to wash up and have a good rest.

Soon it was the morning of the second day, and Su Xiaoluo helped Lin Jinglan get dressed.

"Xiaoluo, we are not attending a banquet, so there is no need to dress up."

"What you said is not right, Miss. We want to appear in front of everyone at your funeral. Not only will you be beautiful, but you will also be beautiful and beautiful, so that everyone can see that you are living a better life than anyone else."

Su Xiaoluo spoke to Lin Jinglan seriously.

"Okay, everything you said is right."

Listening to Su Xiaoluo's words, Lin Jinglan suddenly felt that what she said made sense, so she let Xiaoluo help her dress up.

After everything was packed up, the group left the town and headed for the capital.

This place is about a hundred miles away from the capital. Their carriage took its time and arrived in the capital just in the afternoon.

"Do you think if people from Dingbeihou Mansion saw you, they would think you had seen a ghost."

Gu Junheng leaned against the window of the carriage and asked Lin Jinglan with interest.

"Won't you know when you wait?"

After Lin Jinglan answered casually, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Gu Junheng and asked again:

"By the way, I asked you to help settle the mother and daughter Xiaojiu in Heifeng Village before. Where are they now?"

This mother and daughter are of great use to Lin Jinglan.

Lin Qingyun's design almost cost her her life, and she also smeared her reputation everywhere. She would not just let this debt go.

"Here in the capital, if you need me, I can hand him over to you at any time."

Gu Junheng agreed readily.

"Okay, I'll have someone pick them up in two days."

"Xiao Lan'er, you said that I have helped you a lot in the past two months. Please tell me how you want to repay me."

Seeing Lin Jinglan calmly talking to him about things, Gu Junheng couldn't help but joke.

"Didn't you say that yourself before? We are husband and wife, and you should help me."

Lin Jinglan's reasonable attitude made Gu Junheng choke up.

It seems she was right.

"Miss, we have arrived at Dingbeihou Mansion, do you want to go in now?"

Su Xiaoluo suddenly spoke to them outside the car, and Lin Jinglan gently opened the curtain. At this time, the carriage stopped on the other side of the gate of the Marquis Mansion. There were many carriages and horses parked at the door.

It seemed that they all came to express their condolences to Lin Jinglan.

There was also a white sail hanging on the door of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and it was solemn. Lin Jinglan did not expect that her daughter, who was not valued by her parents, would be in such a scene after her death.

"My reputation has been ruined by them, so why do so many people come to the funeral?"

Lin Jinglan really didn't understand this.

"After all, the status is different. She is the future Crown Princess of Prince Jin's Palace, and she is already famous as His Majesty's Empress. The dignitaries in the capital are all fine people. How could they not understand these truths."

Gu Junheng waved his folding fan and explained to Lin Jinglan.

"No wonder, but it's better this way. After all, more people make it more lively, right?"

He looked at Gu Junheng and laughed at the same time.

At this time, there was a coffin placed in the lobby of the Hou Mansion. The faces of Lin Xiaotian and his wife were full of grief. Lin Qingfeng's brother and sister were also wearing linen clothes and were extremely sad.

Lin Qingxue, in particular, almost burst into tears. She looked very heartbroken over the death of her sister.

"Qingxue, please forgive me and accept the change. Your sister is destined to suffer this fate, and she cannot escape it."

Someone who was close to Lin Qingxue came to comfort her.

"My sister is such a good person and is about to get married, but she encounters something like this. Her life is so miserable."

As if Lin Qingxue couldn't help it, she hugged Mrs. Lin and continued to cry.

There were many people in the hall, but almost all had their own ideas. Many people felt that Lin Jinglan's death might be a relief.

After all, he left his brother behind and ran away, and was humiliated by bandits. Even if he didn't die, he would be too embarrassed to see anyone.

"You are talking nonsense. You are all talking nonsense. The lady is not dead at all. The lady will be back soon."

Everyone in the lobby was having their own thoughts and chatting with the Lin family.

A somewhat crazy maid rushed in, yelled at Lin Qingxue, wanted to go up to the coffin, and kicked away the basin of burning paper money.

However, he was quickly caught by two guards. Lin Xiaotian looked at Qiaoyan with an angry look on his face.

"Qiaoyan, you deserted your master, escaped alone, caused Jinglan's death, and did such a terrible thing. We originally wanted to wait until Jinglan's funeral before dealing with you, but you actually wanted to make a big fuss at my daughter's funeral. , I will never tolerate you this time, come here, take her down and give her fifty canons."

Qiaoyan's face was full of tears, her face was full of unwillingness, and she murmured that the lady was not dead.

The guard pressed down on Qiaoyan and was about to go down. He gave her fifty strokes with the cane, basically killing her.

Everyone just watched, and no one came out to say a word for this poor little girl.

Just as he walked to the door, several people walked up to him.

"Father, mother, Qiaoyan is mine. It is up to my daughter to decide how to deal with it."
