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

She knew best how poor Chun Ning's health was.

What's more, he was born half a month earlier than in his previous life.

I'm afraid it's even weaker.

If it weren't for his care day and night, Chun Ning would not have lived to the age of nine.

Chun Ning needs to be taken care of very carefully at this time. In an occasion like this with so many people around, it is not appropriate to carry her out.

Li Shuangwan just glanced at the child and turned away.

In this life, whether Chun Ning is dead or alive has nothing to do with her.

The people in the mourning hall looked at them with somewhat different eyes at this moment.

Someone even whispered, "The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion is now relying on its military achievements and really doesn't take the royal family seriously. The Crown Princess is pregnant with such a big belly, and the old lady missed her and actually called her back directly."

"That's right. He thinks he has done a great deed, so he looks down on others."

"Poor His Royal Highness, poor little prince."

Li Shuangwan turned a deaf ear to such words.

Brothers Li Huaiying and Li Huaiyi supported the old lady as she staggered over.

The old lady trembled as she walked in front of Ling Heng and knelt down in front of him.

"Your Highness, I am guilty. I didn't know that something like this would happen on the way back to the palace. If I had known, I would never have let the Crown Princess go back."

As he spoke, he beat his chest repeatedly, tears streaming down his face.

Miaomiao was the one she loved so much since she was a child. She thought that her good fortune was still to come and that their second branch could also count on her for a bright future.

Who would have known that she would die just like that.

Ling Heng helped her up: "The old lady doesn't blame you, it was an accident. The servants who served the Crown Princess were not dedicated, and they have all been beaten to death by me."

When she heard the word "beaten to death", the old lady's face turned even paler.

She didn't know how much she regretted at this moment. Knowing that the Crown Princess was pregnant, how could she let Madam Cai go to the East Palace to tell her that she missed her?

Even if he missed her, she, an old woman, could go to the East Palace by herself. Why should he let her make this trip?

An hour later, Li Shuangwan, Gu Xingyan and others came out of the East Palace.

When leaving the East Palace, Li Shuangwan couldn't help laughing when he saw Li Yuanqiao's embarrassed look.

Li Yuanqiao glared at Li Shuangwan angrily.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Gu Xingyan had already pulled Li Shuangwan to get on the carriage.

Li Yuanqiao suddenly felt like joking. He crossed his arms and looked at Gu Xingyan with a raised eyebrow. “Your Highness the Ninth Prince, there will be no good results if you offend your brother-in-law.”

Gu Xingyan raised his foot in the air and paused for a moment before continuing to get on the carriage.

Gu Xingyan's calm voice came from the carriage: "If the young general can't even tame a horse, it would be better for him to take off his armor and go home to take care of his wife and children."

The carriage rumbled away, leaving Li Yuanqiao and Ye Yuma staring in dismay.

On the carriage.

Li Shuangwan said: "It seems that the old lady has no idea where Li Shuangmiao went after leaving the Zhenguo Mansion yesterday. The Second House has kept this from her."

Gu Xingyan reached out and removed the incense ash from Li Shuangwan's hair: "Guess who is buried in the coffin?"

"Li Shuangzhi?"

Gu Xingyan nodded: "Li Shuangmiao's body was thrown into a mass grave."

"My second uncle and second aunt..."

Gu Xingyan sneered: "Ling Heng warned them not to collect Li Shuangmiao's body."

He glanced out the window: "So by now, Li Shuangmiao's body should have been almost eaten by wild dogs. And Zhou Caiyao's body, Ling Heng had people dig it out half a month ago."

Hearing this, Li Shuangwan's stomach felt like it was churning and he suddenly started to dry heave.

In the previous life, the entire family of the General Guarding the Country were slaughtered, their bodies thrown into a mass grave, and the scene of dozens of wild dogs eating them was as vivid as if it happened yesterday.

The corpses that had not been collected in time had their intestines turned outward, their brains spilled out, and their faces were unrecognizable and horrifying.

Gu Xingyan was startled and hurriedly patted her back, saying worriedly: "Yanyan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Did you eat something bad? Uncle Zhou, go to the People's Hospital, quickly!"

Zhou Bo quickly turned his horse around.

Li Shuangwan grabbed Gu Xingyan's arm and shook her head at him.

Gu Xingyan poured warm water for her.

Li Shuangwan took it and drank it in small sips. Only then did he feel better.

Gu Xingyan looked at her worriedly, and saw that she was in pain: "What's wrong with you? Did you remember something?"

Li Shuangwan's eyes were red, and his hands unconsciously grasped Gu Xingyan's arms tightly, his body trembling.

"In my previous life, the bodies of all 381 people in my Zhenguo Mansion were thrown into a mass grave. When I ran over, I saw several wild dogs gnawing on the bodies. If it weren't for Zhang Shiyi, my father, my family..."

Gu Xingyan stroked her back again and again: "Okay, don't think about it. We still have time in this life. We will never let this happen again."

He lifted Li Shuangwan's face and gently kissed away the tears on her face.

"Yan Yan, I promise you, I will do my best to protect you and your family, and the same thing as in the previous life will never happen again."

"Stop thinking about it, okay?"

He has always known that since his rebirth, Yanyan has never let go of the burden of guilt.

He blamed himself for all the consequences of the General's Mansion.

She always believed that if it weren't for her own reasons, her entire family wouldn't have been slaughtered if she had married Ling Heng.

"None of this is your fault. Didn't you say that Ling Heng is good at disguise? In the end, even my uncle and aunt were deceived by him and assisted him wholeheartedly."

"Stop taking all the blame on yourself, okay?"

Li Shuangwan hugged his waist tightly, buried her head in his arms, and cried one by one: "Xingyan, Xingyan..."

"I'm here. I've always been here."

Gu Xingyan hugged her tightly with heartache.

……

Yi Qing and Zhuangzi were kneeling in front of Ling Heng at this moment.

Ling Heng took out the portrait of Li Shuangyan, shook it open and held it in front of Zhuangzi: "Is the woman you saw her?"

Zhuangzi took a closer look and shook his head: "Well, it seems not."

"Look carefully. If you tell even a single lie, I will make you be buried with the Crown Princess!"

Zhuangzi hurriedly took the portrait from Ling Heng's hand, looked at it carefully again, with a sad face.

"Your Highness, I, I really can't remember clearly. At that time, the master and servant came to ask for directions, and I only opened the gate a little. The person in the portrait looks a bit like him, but, but it seems that he doesn't look alike."

Ling Heng frowned: "Asking for directions? What directions did she ask?"

"She asked her subordinates how to get to Suzaku Street."

Ling Heng gently stroked the jade ring on his hand. Li Shuangyan is a princess, how could she go out without even a maid?

He remembered clearly that she had a maidservant who was skilled in martial arts.

Moreover, during this period, she always brought this maid with her when she went in and out of the store to check the accounts.

Even if her own brother Li Yuanqiao is not available, what about Zhu Anhe?

Would you feel comfortable letting a girl who had just arrived in Northern Jin go out on the street alone?

Or is it because she has martial arts skills and therefore is fearless?

Ling Heng instinctively denied this possibility.

Moreover, Li Shuangyan has several shops on Zhuque Street, so how could he not know the way there?

He looked at Yi Qing with a venomous snake-like gaze and said in a cold voice: "You are Li Shuangmiao's personal maid, why didn't you follow her to Xingshui Hutong? Tell me everything you know, without leaving out a single detail."

It would be a lie for Yi Qing to say she was not afraid, for she knew that the twenty or so servants brought by Li Shuangmiao had all been killed.

Seeing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a livid face at this moment, it was even more certain of Li Shuangzhi's importance in the Crown Prince's mind.

But on second thought, all this had nothing to do with her. The Crown Princess insisted on going yesterday, and she had done all the persuasion she could.

She was punished by the Crown Princess to kneel in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion for a day and a night, and all the servants in the mansion saw it.
