Rong Huai thought for a moment after hearing this, and before Princess Rongjun and Li Chaoyun arrived, he threw the short knife in his hand next to Shen Wu's body.
Su Qingyu ordered people to take out Shen Wu's body, cover it with a white cloth and carry it to the door of the main room. He also sent people to inform several masters and ladies of the Shen family, but the old lady kept it secret for the time being.
By the time Princess Rong and Li Chaoyun arrived, Lanyuan had returned to normal, except that there were thirteen more corpses on the ground.
Li Chaoyun specially and secretly brought Princess Rong into the mansion today just to make Shen Yue and Rong Huai's relationship real and to finalize the marriage.
But when the two of them arrived at the door with their servant woman, they saw many guards outside Lanyuan.
Li Chaoyun's heart skipped a beat. It looked like a guard from the West Courtyard. Could it be that this matter had alarmed Shen Zhixiu?
In order to completely distance herself from the matter, she had been pretending to be sick all morning and did not dare to send anyone to inquire. Only after Princess Rong entered the mansion did she pretend to be better and get up to accompany her.
After entering the courtyard, he did not see the servant woman who had been serving Shen Wu before.
On the contrary, there were many servants from the West Courtyard who looked hurriedly and didn't know what they were busy with.
Li Chaoyun was getting more and more panicked, but he forced a smile and walked inside with Princess Rongjun.
"I came to appease her today just to give you face." Princess Rongjun said with a smile.
Li Chaoyun hurriedly explained: "I am also doing it for the sake of my uncle and aunt. She is the crown prince's concubine. If she is relieved, she can give birth to a legitimate son as soon as possible."
Princess Rongjun snorted when she heard this, "I have agreed with Huaier before that we will take his two cousins as concubines and give birth to children who will be adopted into the main wife's name."
"Huaier originally agreed, but for some reason he regretted it yesterday."
Li Chaoyun naturally knew why Rong Huai regretted it, but he pretended not to know.
The two of them talked and walked to the main room.
The ground at the door of the main room was bright and white.
Li Chaoyun was shocked, "What's going on?"
Princess Rongjun was also confused. What were those things covered with white cloth on the ground?
Rong Huai and Su Qingyu also walked out of the main room. When they saw Princess Rongjun, Rong Huai looked sad.
"Mother, Wu'er is gone."
Su Qingyu also walked to Princess Rongjun and said, "My condolences, Princess."
He looked at Li Chaoyun again, "Why is the princess here too? Are you feeling well?"
Li Chaoyun had not yet recovered from Shen Wu's death, but when he heard Su Qingyu's question again, he said casually: "Much better, thank you Third Aunt for your concern."
Princess Rongjun couldn't believe that Shen Wu had gone like this, and was opening the white cloth to look. Seeing that it was really Shen Wu, he almost fainted.
Although she was not happy with this daughter-in-law, she was still the eldest concubine of Prince Rongjun's palace. It was hard for her to accept that he had gone so suddenly.
"What's going on? How can people just say it's gone?"
Rong Huai supported his mother and explained sadly.
"Wu'er has been feeling depressed because of her miscarriage. Today, the servants were not attentive in serving her, so she was a little annoyed."
"I came to see her, and she argued with me again, and later she got violent. We both got angry. She hit me, and I hit her."
"But I didn't expect that she couldn't think about it for a moment and committed suicide with my short knife."
Only then did Princess Rongjun realize that Rong Huai's face was still injured. Thinking of Shen Wu's red and swollen cheeks just now, he believed Rong Huai's words.
However, Li Chaoyun's thoughts changed quickly and he looked at the servants on the ground, "What about these people?"
Su Qingyu said coldly: "If they hadn't served carelessly, how could anything have happened to the young lady? It's me who is the master, and I will kill these unscrupulous slaves with a stick."
After saying that, he looked at Princess Rongjun apologetically, "I was so angry just now that I couldn't hold back my temper. Princess, please don't blame me for being nosy."
After all, she was a servant of the Rong family. If she made a move, she would have to give the Rong family an explanation.
Princess Rongjun did not doubt that he was there. Although she was dissatisfied with Su Qingyu, she had no intention of pursuing it at the moment.
He said, "The third lady has quite a bad temper."
Not long after, the eldest master of the Shen family, Shen Zhiheng, the second master, Shen Zhishu, and the second wife, Yang, also came.
Shen Zhiheng was extremely sad after losing his two daughters in just over a month.
He squatted on the ground, lifted up the white cloth on Shen Wu's body, and saw the injuries on her face at a glance.
After getting up and listening to Rong Huai's explanation, he punched Rong Huai in the face.
"You beast, you dare to attack my daughter when she is still in confinement."
Shen Wu was his eldest daughter, and she had been raised under his knees since she was a child. The first child always has deeper feelings than the subsequent children.
The rest of the Shen family also stared at Rong Huai suspiciously, especially Shen Zhishu, who even doubted whether Shen Wu committed suicide. The dagger belonged to Rong Huai. If the two had a quarrel, Rong Huai might have killed him.
When Princess Rongjun saw that her son had been punched, her expression suddenly changed.
"I said my in-laws, Wu'er is gone. I know you are the most uncomfortable. But you can't take your anger out on my son. How can a couple not quarrel, and my son didn't expect this to happen."
Shen Zhiheng had calmed down a lot after punching him, but he knew that it would be useless to say anything at this time. Rationally speaking, we should work with the Rong family to organize her daughter's funeral and leave her with the last dignity.
But Princess Rong's words made Shen Zhiheng furious.
"A quarrel? Can you be beaten to death by quarreling? I still doubt whether my daughter committed suicide."
Princess Rongjun couldn't bear it when she heard this. She was a fierce and unreasonable person, and she yelled at Shen Zhiheng.
"Which of your eyes saw my son beating someone to death? My son's face is also injured. Are you blind and can't see?"
"And your daughter has not given birth to a legitimate grandson for our Rong family for so many years. We have been lenient enough to her."
"Now that she committed suicide, you still have to blame us, so let's find a place to have a good talk. I will enter the palace tomorrow, and I will ask the emperor to comment. When he was a mediator, he gave our family such a good wife. of."
Shen Zhiheng was already sad, but after being scolded by Princess Rongjun again, he just felt a splitting headache.
Princess Rongjun was famous for being a free-spirited person. She really dared to enter the palace to seek comment from the emperor.
The emperor did not want to touch the Rong family, so whichever family Princess Rongjun sued would basically be in trouble. In severe cases, you will be punished, in mild cases, you will be reprimanded.
Fortunately, she doesn't cause big troubles, it's all trivial matters in the inner house.
Later, all the ladies in Beijing understood what was going on and would not offend her easily.
Shen Zhiheng wanted to reply, but for a grown man, it was really inappropriate for him to argue with a woman. In addition, his daughter had just left, so he didn't want to make things too embarrassing.
Su Qingyu thought for a while, then stepped forward and said, "Brother, you still have to decide what happens next."
"Should the coffin used as a dowry for the eldest lady be buried in the Shen family, or should it be returned to the Rong family?"
"There is also a memorial shed. The Rong family will also build it."
"The eldest lady only has two daughters. Whether she wants to adopt a son or not, we have to discuss it with the Rong family."
Su Qingyu looked sad and her eyes were red.
Shen Zhiheng said with a choked voice: "My brother and sister remind me that I will go to discuss the following matters with the Rong family."
Li Chaoyun remained silent, wondering what went wrong. He looked around but didn't see Shen Yue.
"I heard that the eldest lady called the third lady to talk to her this morning. Why didn't she see the third lady?"
"Such a big thing happened, didn't it scare her?"
