Chapter 153 - 153 It's a Fake Death
153 It’s a Fake Death
“Zhao Ruifeng probably misunderstood something. I’m not a weak woman.” Jiang Xi raised her hand and waved it with a smile as if she wanted to fan away the death energy around her nose. The Fang family’s young lady in the carriage had died, but this death energy seemed to be a bit different. He felt that something was not right.
The neighbor laughed, thinking that this little girl was really interesting. Were her small arms and legs not weak at all?
On the Fang family’s side, the people from the Fang family seemed to have received the news in advance. They ran out and carried miss Fang in. Miss Fang’s father seemed to have aged a dozen years overnight. His hair had turned much whiter, his back was bent, and his eyes were much more turbid.
“My daughter, my poor daughter! What do you want your mother to do? A white-haired person sending a black-haired person away… How can you bear to do this?” A woman stumbled out and hugged Miss Fang’s body, crying so hard that she couldn’t control herself.
Master Fang’s nose was a little blocked, and his eyes were slightly red. “Send someone to the palace to report the funeral. The crown prince’s matter can not be delayed. Let the crown prince and the Emperor choose another crown princess.” After he finished speaking, Master Fang’s tears fell.
Speaking of this matter, it was also a coincidence. The time of the Fang family’s young lady’s death happened to be the time of the selection of concubines in the palace, and the people of the imperial family were the most unfeeling. Of course, Master Fang understood this logic.
“Just say that Yu’er is not fated with the crown prince, so the marriage with the crown prince will be invalid. Please choose someone else for the crown prince to marry.” Master Fang’s voice was choked with sobs. The servant boy who had received the order hurriedly went to the palace to report. Miss Fang Yu’s health had been delayed time and time again. The servant did not expect that she would pass away during the selection. Their family’s Young Miss’ death anniversary was someone else’s wedding.
The Fang family did not dare to delay any longer, afraid that the crown prince would marry a new crown princess after the selection. If that were the case, Fang Yu would not be able to be buried, so the Fang family quickly organized the funeral.
On the other hand, Jiang Xi felt uncomfortable. She felt that there was something wrong with the aura of death. She thought about it for a long time but could not figure it out. A person with a deep fortune would always have a faint light on their body. A colorful light could make people feel refreshed. A person on the verge of death would have a dark aura and would be surrounded by a deathly aura. Approaching them would make people feel depressed. However, the Fang family’s girl was not quite the same. There was a faint seven-colored light enveloped by a large area of black. It was as if someone had forcibly cut off her life force, but that life force had not been completely cut off.
“Ah! It’s a fake death!” Jiang Xi’s expression changed and she stood up instantly.
The Fang family quickly sent news to the palace, saying that the crown prince’s unwed crown princess was gone. It was said that when the empress heard this news, her body went soft and she fainted. When she woke up, she kept saying that the child had a hard and unfortunate life. She then rewarded the Fang family with many things and asked the Fang family to bury Fang Yu as soon as possible. Logically speaking, even though the crown princess had not married into the family, the crown prince still needed to show filial piety for a hundred days toward Fang Yu’s family. However, the Fang family said that this marriage did not exist and that the crown prince should choose a new crown princess now. The empress declined a few times and agreed. After all, if the crown prince really showed filial piety to Fang Yu’s family, the crown prince could not choose the next crown princess among the girls from the selection.
“Did the empress really say that? Let’s bury Yu’er earlier? Does the crown prince know about this? Yu’er has been engaged to him for a few years and has done a lot for him, but he doesn’t show any gratitude at all?” Supported by a maidservant, Madam Fang wiped her tears with a handkerchief. “When Yu ‘er was first engaged to the crown prince, the crown prince was making a scene in the palace, saying that he wanted to marry Zhao Panpan. At that time, so many people knew about this, and our Yu’er lost all face. Later, when the crown prince grew up, he hung out with Zhao Panpan every day. The two even spent many nights in the empress’ palace. When Yu’er heard the news, she shed countless tears and was ridiculed countless times. Now that Yu ‘er is gone, the crown prince did not even come to see her. In any case, the two have been engaged for so long…”
“Be careful with your words!” Master Fang suddenly spoke out to stop her. Only then did Madam Fang realize what she had said. How could they slander the imperial family behind their backs? It was just that they had wronged her Yu’er. After she died, she still had to make way for the people in the palace.
“Yu’er is an unmarried daughter and can’t be buried in the ancestral grave. I’ve picked a good place to bury her.” Master Fang sighed.
