Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Yang Luo blinked at Li Shuangwan and concentrated on taking her pulse. The other ladies also stretched out their hands for her to feel.

"The old lady and the other ladies are all in good health, but they have been too worried recently and have been keeping vigil all night, so they are quite weak and need to be well replenished. Don't take the medicine. I will ask the kitchen to switch to medicinal food during this period."

Li Shuangwan also nodded: "Medicine is three-part poison, food supplements are the best. Old Madam, ladies, he is gone, you should relax and live your life well."

Zhuang forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Princess Heng. Mother has warned us. We will slowly let go of this anger. You asked Miss Luo to take care of us. We don't know how to thank you. The word "thank you" is too light. Today, I will bring my sisters-in-law to kowtow to you."

As soon as Zhuang knelt down, the others followed suit, and Li Shuangwan hurriedly helped them up.

When everyone stood up, Li Shuangwan sat next to Madam He and said, "Madam, have you ever thought about leaving Shengjing City?"

The ladies were all startled.

Madam He sighed deeply: "To be honest with Princess Heng, I have been thinking about this matter for a while. Now that everything in the mansion is done, we can live our own lives behind closed doors, but this Shengjing City, ah, it is better to leave."

Li Shuangwan understood how much sadness was contained in this long sigh, and the nanny beside Madam He also understood it.

The ladies looked at each other and finally said, "We will all listen to our mother."

Old Madam He was very pleased. After all, their families were all in Shengjing City. Since the incident at the He Mansion, they had lost contact with their families.

Even though Emperor Jingzhang issued three imperial edicts and the General's Mansion was named the Duke of Protectorate Mansion, they resumed contact with their natal family, but they still abided by the previous rules and the contact was not too frequent.

Li Shuangwan said: "Old Madam, since you have decided to leave, it is better to leave early."

Old Madam He was surprised. She originally wanted to send the old housekeeper back to repair the house over there before setting off. It would take at least one or two months. There were a total of one or two hundred female relatives and servants in the mansion. It would take several days just to pack the luggage.

It can be seen that Li Shuangwan looked at her cautiously, and thinking about this funeral of "imperial grace", Mrs. He immediately understood.

"The He family's ancestral home is in Lin'an. The funeral is over, so we will set off in three days. Tomorrow I will go to the palace to ask the Queen to leave."

Several daughters-in-law were shocked: "Mother, isn't this too hasty?"

Zhuang knew her mother-in-law's thoughts best: "Don't rush, everyone should go back and let their servants pack simple luggage as soon as possible."

Li Shuangwan said: "Madam, why not take the water route to Lin'an?"

"Water? We need to hire a boat. With so many of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to hire a boat that big in a short time. Even if we go by land, there may not be enough carriages. We can only take a few close friends with us first, and let the rest pack up, and then we can slowly set off."

Li Shuangwan smiled and said, "Did the old lady forget? I have a restaurant that specializes in seafood business, so naturally I have a cargo ship that transports seafood. It's cold today, and they are all resting at home. If the old lady doesn't mind, I will let them go. However, this ship has always been used to transport seafood, so it's a bit simple. I'm afraid it will be unfair to the old lady and the ladies."

Madam He's eyes were red again, and she held Li Shuangwan's hand tightly: "What are you saying, Princess Heng? I don't know how to thank you."

Everyone in the hall wanted to thank Li Shuangwan again, which made her laugh and cry.

After the ladies left, only the old lady and Aunt Cuizhi were left. Li Shuangwan said, "Old lady, you should go to the palace tomorrow to ask the queen to leave. The queen may not see you."

Madam He was such an insightful person that she nodded and said, "I know, but whether or not to do it is my etiquette as a lady of honor. It is the Queen's decision whether to see her or not. So, I will write a letter. If she doesn't want to see me, I will ask the palace maid to deliver the letter of request to the Queen on my behalf. That will be all I have to do."

Li Shuangwan shook her head: "Old Madam, please don't write this letter. The Queen won't see you. Just kowtow a few times at the palace gate and say a few words of thanks to the Emperor and the Queen. Let the imperial guards and the people see your courtesy."

Madam He looked at Li Shuangwan.

Li Shuangwan shook her hand and nodded at her.

Old Madam He felt really upset. Why did the royal family have to be so deceiving? All the men in the He family lost their lives because of Ling Yun's scheme, but the emperor just imprisoned them and got away with it.

Li Shuangwan had just returned to the yard when Chen Ping arrived. His face looked really ugly. Not only that, but there was also deep anger in his eyes.

Li Shuangwan took the hot towel from Yizhu and wiped his hands, while asking, "What's wrong? What's going on?"

Chen Ping wiped his eyes and said, "Princess, the emperor is too shameless!"

Chen Rong was startled: "Brother, what are you talking about! Walls have ears, don't cause trouble for the princess."

Chen Ping also knew that what he said was extremely treasonous, so he knelt down and said, "I was reckless, please punish me, Princess."

Li Shuangwan handed the handkerchief back to Yizhu: "Get up, I know you are a steady person and won't say such things easily. Don't worry, there is no one else in this yard."

Chen Ping then stood up and said, "Although the emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to handle the funeral of the Duke of Huguo, in fact, not a penny was spent. The two assistant ministers of the Ministry of Rites forced Madam He to take out 40,000 taels of pension silver to hold this grand funeral."

Li Shuangwan closed his eyes deeply, and then closed them again. Why could the Northern Jin court be so shameless? On what basis!

Roman exclaimed, "Oh my God, the people were saying that the emperor was benevolent and wise, and that he treated the widow of the Duke of Protectorate well. It turns out that all this was fake, fake!"

Li Shuangwan looked around at the people around him, and several maids understood and took a few steps back.

She whispered a few words to Chen Ping, who looked solemn, "Yes, Princess, don't worry, I understand. When Madam He and the others arrive in Lin'an, I will let the beggars spread the word."

"Not only Shengjing City, I want everyone in the world to know how shameless Emperor Jingzhang and the Ling family are!"

"I know what to do. I will let those beggars leave today. After a month, the news will spread everywhere. Even if the emperor sends the Royal Guards to investigate, they will never find out about the He family."

"You said it was the left and right assistant ministers who forced Madam He?"

"Yes."

"Then give them this great gift!"

"Yes."

……

It is the twelfth day of the first lunar month. According to past tradition, today is the day when the Queen Mother invites female relatives from all families to the palace for a banquet.

Li Shuangwan was naturally among those invited.

Such palace banquets are the most boring. They are nothing more than the girls from various noble families performing their talents, the ladies from various families gathering around the queen and concubines to chat, or looking at the girls present and choosing a suitable daughter-in-law for their sons.

When the queen gave a banquet, no one dared not attend.

Although Li Shuangwan felt bored, he still brought Roman with him.
