Seeing Zhu Anhe coming, Ling Heng kowtowed to her several times, tears streaming down his face, saying that he was sorry to his father-in-law and mother-in-law for not protecting A Wan well.

But his eyes glanced several times at Zhu Rongshu, who was wearing plain clothes behind Zhu Anhe.

Zhu Anhe was upset and wiped her tears with her sleeve. Tears kept falling from the corners of her eyes, as if they would never stop. Everyone who came to pay their respects in the mourning hall also followed suit and wiped their tears.

"Your Highness, I am deeply distressed by Wanwan's sudden misfortune. I have no energy to sort out her things. But she still has many things in the General's Mansion, so I ask Your Highness to allow Shu'er and I to take Yizhu and Chen Ping back first, sort out their things, and send them to the northwest first, so that her father and brother can have some thoughts. I will come to pick them up after the funeral of Luoman and the others is over."

Yizhu is a thoughtful child, so she has to go back and let her meet Wanwan.

And there is Chen Ping. At the beginning, it was said that her identity was a little nun who was taken in by someone in a nunnery in Cangzhou. Now, she has been changed to the daughter of the Duke of Daliang. They both have to know about it so that they can be prepared to avoid any mistakes later.

Such a request was reasonable and logical, and there were so many people watching in the mourning hall, how could Ling Heng not agree? He said in a hoarse voice: "Of course they should. When Ah Wan was here, they served us wholeheartedly. I will ask the accountant to give them an extra 100 taels of silver each."

After hearing this, Yizhu and Chen Ping kowtowed to Ling Heng to express their gratitude.

Seeing the eldest lady, Luoman, Chen Rong, and Dong'er who was newly transferred to serve Li Shuangwan, the three of them burst into tears. Now when they heard that Yizhu and Chen Ping were going to pack up the princess's belongings first, they cried even more sadly.

Zhu Anhe, with red and swollen eyes, helped them up one by one and told them to come and pick them up in a few days.

Then she said to Ling Heng, "Your Highness, I will go to the palace right away. Wan Yuzhi was too cruel. Wanwan died so tragically. As a mother, I will ask the emperor for justice even if my knees are rotten. You are Wanwan's husband. Come with me to the palace and we will go to ask the emperor together."

Those who came to the mourning hall were all servants from the mansions of various noble families. After returning, they would report to their masters one by one what they saw and heard today.

Ling Heng looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him.

Ling Heng looked sad, but he was extremely resentful in his heart. Li Shuangwan was dead, and Wan Yuzhi had been thrown into prison. This stupid woman Zhu still wanted to cause trouble and wanted to take him with her. Wasn't this forcing his father?

Wan Yuzhi said those words in front of so many people. As a son, wouldn't it be even more embarrassing for his father to know that his father had been cuckolded for such a long time?

Ling Heng looked sad and choked up, "Mother-in-law, Ah Wan loved to stick to me when she was alive. Whenever I came home from work, we were always together. But now she is lying alone in the cold coffin. She must be scared. How can I bear to leave her behind? Please let me accompany her for a few days."

After saying that, tears fell like rain.

Someone came out to smooth things over: "Alas, His Royal Highness Prince Heng is deeply in love. General's wife, please let Prince Heng accompany Princess Heng for a while. The body will be buried after three days, so you won't be able to accompany her in the future."

"Yes, Wan Yuzhi killed Princess Heng, and the general's wife entered the palace. The emperor will definitely give you justice. Your Highness has already begged the emperor a few days ago."

There were many people coming and going in the mourning hall to pay their respects. Zhu Rongshu had just finished paying her respects. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she still looked dazed. She could hardly stand still.

At this moment, someone pushed her hard, and Zhu Rongsu suddenly fell forward, with her hand immediately pressing on the edge of the brazier where paper money was burned.

The basin was knocked over with a bang, sparks splashed on her hands, and Zhu Rongshu screamed in pain and threw away the unburned paper money on her body: "Ah, who is it, who pushed me, aunt, someone pushed me. Ouch, it hurts, it hurts... Cousin, it really hurts to be burned by fire, ouch..."

The crying in the mourning hall became louder.

Ling Heng's face suddenly darkened: "Someone, come and check who dared to attack my cousin."

For a moment, the mourning hall was in chaos.

Ling Heng also helped Zhu Rongshu, who was lying on the ground, up, and his hand seemed to pass across her temples inadvertently.

There was no sign of wearing a human skin mask, actually!

Zhu Anhe was so heartbroken that he stepped forward immediately, took the person from Ling Heng's hands, and helped her sit down aside: "Shu'er, how are you? Did you see who pushed you?"

Zhu Rongshu's eyes were filled with tears. "Aunt, it was a servant from Prince Heng's mansion. He bumped into me on purpose, but I didn't see his face clearly. Woo, it hurts."

Zhu Anhe said angrily: "Your Highness Prince Heng, what kind of monsters are there in your palace? My daughter's death was not tragic enough, and someone actually wants to harm my niece!"

Ling Heng had no choice but to apologize.

Zhu Anhe didn't appreciate it at all. Seeing Huang Sheng from the Imperial Hospital just there, he nodded to him and said, "Doctor Huang, you are a great doctor. Please help my niece. My brother is worried about me going back to Beijing alone, so he asked her to come with me. I can't let Shu'er's hand become disabled."

Zhu Rongshu's face was filled with pain, sparks splashed on the back of her hand, it was really painful, and she hated Ling Heng even more in her heart, this bastard, no wonder her cousin didn't like him, he wanted to confirm her identity, wouldn't he find another excuse, what a sinister villain!

Huang Sheng was also shocked. He knew that Prince Heng wanted to confirm the identity of this girl, but there was no need to go to this extent. Besides, the Queen Mother had just issued an imperial decree at the beginning of the year to grant her a marriage to Prince Jing. If his hands were disabled or left with spots, he would be in trouble.

Eh……

Huang Sheng hurriedly squatted down, rolled up Zhu Rongsu's sleeves to check her, and while cleaning her wound, he secretly put his hand on her pulse.

Sipo pulled the man out and threw him in front of Ling Heng: "Your Majesty, this is the man who deliberately bumped into my cousin."

The man knelt on the ground, looking at Zhu Rongshu viciously: "You were blind first. You stepped on my foot just now and almost broke my hand, but you didn't even say a word of apology! How come you feel pain after hurting yourself! Ha, the lives of people like you who are born noble are lives, but the lives of us slaves are not lives!"

"I, when did I step on you?" She looked at the man's hand. Although it was rough, there was no sign of being stepped on.

Ling Heng noticed her gaze and ordered with a gloomy face: "Take him out and beat him to death!"

Sipo dragged the man away.

The man was still cursing: "No one in your Zhu family is a good person. Li Shuangwan deserves to die. She should have died a long time ago. Let me go, let me go!"

Sipo grabbed the rag from the servant's hand and covered his mouth with it.

He also felt strange as to why such a person was arranged to perform this play.

"Wait." Zhu Rongshu shouted.

Si Po naturally only listened to Ling Heng's words and dragged the man out without looking back.
