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

But during these three days, Ling Heng was extremely busy. As the year was coming to an end, the Ministry of Rites already had a lot of things to do. In addition, Emperor Jingzhang suddenly wanted to hold a ritual for his ancestor, so a mountain of things piled up in the Ministry of Rites.

As he was unpopular and only a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Rites, all kinds of trivial matters piled up in front of him.

In addition, with the death of Butler Wu, before he could cultivate capable confidants, he would have to personally contact all the secret agents and businesses under his name.

He also needs to find out who the third group of people are, and he also needs to take care of a woman who lives in a separate courtyard and is often overwhelmed by the burden of bearing a child.

I saw a lot of weight loss in just a few days.

He should have stayed in the White Horse Temple during this period of time and not come back, but now Li Shuangwan is injured. If he doesn't come back every day and use the excuse of caring about him, Li Shuangwan will become suspicious.

After all, he wanted to kill the two maids around her two days ago.

Although Ling Heng hid it very well, Li Shuangwan still saw the fatigue and tiredness on him.

This had never happened in his previous life. Even when he ascended the throne, his father and brother were there to support him.

He still did his job as emperor with ease.

Therefore, in ten years, that good-looking appearance that bewitched people did not leave many traces of time.

In contrast, she is only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but her body looks like a woman in her fifties or sixties.

Early that morning, the doorman brought a visiting card. It was sent by my grandmother, who wanted to come and see her in the afternoon.

It was inconvenient for my grandfather to come to Prince Heng’s Mansion, so he had to let his old wife go instead.

When her grandparents heard that she had been attacked and injured in the suburbs, they were extremely worried. However, the palace was different from other palaces. If they wanted to visit her, they had to send a visiting card in first.

Li Shuangwan didn't want to see them at first, for fear that the two elders would feel sorry for her.

But she thought that if she didn't see them, they would be even more worried and would think that she was seriously injured, so she said to the doorman, "Go tell the person who delivered the invitation that I will be at Le Xiaoyuan to meet my grandmother this afternoon. Also ask him to tell them that I am fine and that they don't need to worry."

The concierge responded.

Three days had passed. Li Shuangwan's injuries were not serious and the pain in his body had long since ceased, so he asked Chen Rong to clean him up. After a nap, he waited for his grandmother in Le Xiaoyuan.

Just after the hour of Wei, Old Madam Zhu came with her old maid and brought a lot of nourishing foods.

As soon as he saw Li Shuangwan, his eyes turned red and he called her his darling. He touched her sleeve and wiped his tears, saying things like, "Why have you lost a lot of weight since the last time they met?"

Li Shuangwan ushered them in and sat them down. Chen Rong served them tea and said, "Grandma, I'm fine. I just had a minor skin injury and it will heal soon."

As she spoke, she stood up and stretched out her arms for Madam Zhu to examine.

Madam Zhu wiped her tears and pulled the man to sit down. "In the clear and bright world under the feet of the emperor, they actually assassinated him. It's simply lawless. Wanwan, don't worry, your grandfather has already reported it to the emperor, and he will definitely get to the bottom of it."

Li Shuangwan held Madam Zhu's hand and said, "Okay, I believe that Grandfather will be able to find out the murderer behind the scenes and give him a good beating."

Madam Zhu glanced outside and asked in a low voice, "Where is His Royal Highness Prince Heng? Didn't he make the decision for you?"

"He has also sent people to investigate."

Madam Zhu's expression relaxed: "Thank goodness, you are fine." Then she lowered her voice and asked, "Do you know who those people who saved you are?"

Naturally, this could not be known to grandpa and grandma. Li Shuangwan shook his head and said, "They all wore masks and left without saying a word after killing the person."

Old Madam Zhu nodded. In fact, she had her doubts in her heart. Several of the princes were already adults, and her son-in-law commanded a large number of troops. If she married Prince Yu Heng tonight, there was no guarantee that no one would want to give Ling Heng a warning.

But she couldn't say these words casually.

Madam Zhu looked around again and said, "Hey, where are the two maids beside you? Why don't I see them?"

Chen Rong was serving behind Li Shuangwan. When she heard this, she secretly looked up at her master.

Li Shuangwan smiled and said, "I'll ask them to go out and do something for me. They'll be back soon."

Madam Zhu sighed softly and held Li Shuangwan's hand tightly. "Wanwan, you need to have more people of your own. Once they leave, you will only have this one girl to serve you. How about your grandmother pick a few trustworthy ones from the Zhu Mansion and send them over? Or you can go to the human traffickers and buy a few girls with clean family backgrounds and retrain them."

Li Shuangwan knew that she had too few people to use, but what she was going to do was too dangerous, so the more people the better. She shook her head and said, "No, there are plenty of servants in Prince Heng's Mansion. If I need anything, I can tell them."

Old Madam Zhu wanted to say something but hesitated. After thinking about it, she finally didn't say it.

"It is unfilial to make you and grandpa worry."

"Look at what you're saying. Isn't it normal for your grandfather to worry about you?" She looked at Chen Rong and said, "Miss, please go and guard the door while I have a private chat with Wanwan."

Chen Rong: "Yes, old lady."

How could Li Shuangwan not know what her grandmother meant?

After Chen Rong left, Madam Zhu got straight to the point: "Grandmother, how come I heard that you brought a girl back from the Lotus Class and said she was your sister? You can fool me about other things, but this is absolutely impossible. How can I, as a grandmother, not know whether the child survived or not?"

Madam Zhu looked at Li Shuangwan worriedly. "This matter has been spreading around these days. Grandmother has wanted to come and ask you what's going on. But your grandfather said that what's true won't be false, and what's false won't be true. He told me to stop interfering, saying that your mother is coming back anyway."

She did not attend Madam Lu's birthday party. She had always been at odds with Madam Lu, and the two of them could not agree on anything, so she just asked the housekeeper to send a gift.

Mr. Zhu did go there, but he didn't mention the matter when he came back.

"Wanwan, tell me, are you hiding something from us? How much does that girl look like you? I want to see her, too. She lives in Prince Heng's mansion, right?"

Li Shuangwan smiled awkwardly. This matter indeed could not be hidden from her grandmother.

"Grandma, it's not that I won't tell you, but it's not the right time to tell you about this. As Grandpa said, Mom will be back soon anyway. That girl is definitely not my biological sister. Dad was there when Mom gave birth to me. They told you a long time ago that my sister's body was stiff, so how could she come back to life?"

Madam Zhu was not a person who would argue. Seeing Wanwan saying this, she said, "Well, you young people should do whatever you want to do. Just be careful to protect yourself. It's not that grandma thinks the worst of people. The girl probably knows everything in her heart. But she still lives in Prince Heng's mansion, which shows that she has other intentions."

Li Shuangwan took Madam Zhu's arm and said, "Wanwan knows that grandma loves me the most."
