Chapter 714: Someone is causing trouble in the funeral hall
Li Cheng hurriedly rushed forward with the servants of the Li family and worked together to close the coffin. If it wasn't daytime, he might have been frightened. Shu Xue's death was actually quite horrific.
He gave orders almost with his eyes closed throughout the process, and also pretended to help move the lid of the coffin.
Madam Li invited the imperial concubines to sit in the living room, but given the current situation, how could anyone stay still?
Because the Fourth Princess screamed so loudly, everyone in the mourning hall was in a panic. They didn't see the corpse, and they didn't know what the Fourth Princess saw that scared her so much.
There was also some doubt in the eyes of the Third Princess, and she kindly supported the arm of the Fourth Princess.
Jiang Fenghua found Li Cheng's expression funny. He disliked Shu Xue so much that he pretended to be affectionate and wanted to seek justice for Shu Xue, but he didn't even dare to look at her. Mrs. Li was also very surprised.
At this moment, she caught a glimpse of the woman hiding in the corner. The woman saw her and smiled at her, then raised her index finger to signal her not to make a sound. She then quietly moved her body in an attempt to hide herself.
Jiang Fenghua moved his body to cover the woman and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and help the Fourth Princess to rest! Her face has turned blue from fear."
The Fourth Princess' maid then helped her walk away. Zhang Yurou felt her legs go weak and she wanted to say goodbye.
Before she could speak, Jiang Fenghua said, "Princess Three, please accompany Princess Four. I will burn three sticks of incense for Madam Li and then come over."
The Third Princess said, "Yes."
Yuan Wenqiang also felt strange, but at this moment she also saw the figure hiding in the corner, and she immediately understood that Lu Xuefei used to be close to Queen Jiang. It was only later that she found out that Lu Xuefei was actually the daughter of Lu Tingwei. She also wanted to go to the Lu family to propose marriage for her brothers from her natal family, but was rejected.
The Third Princess was also puzzled. Was it Lu Xuefei who pushed open Shu Xue's coffin? What was she going to do?
At the same time, Jiang Fenghua saw the woman hiding in the corner quickly blend into the crowd. She smiled slightly. She seemed to have seen her before. What a cute girl. Was it she who pushed the coffin open?
Hongxiu was standing behind the Fourth Princess just now. When most people were walking forward, she pushed the Fourth Princess. She originally wanted to let the Fourth Princess get closer to the coffin to test her reaction, but she didn't expect that this test really proved that she was guilty.
Li Cheng walked up to Jiang Fenghua and said, "I'm sorry to have frightened Your Majesty." He wanted Jiang Fenghua to leave quickly.
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "Mr. Li, please accept my condolences."
Li Cheng didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Jiang Fenghua. He knew her methods. But at this moment, Jiang Fenghua gave him a different feeling.
I waited until she lit the incense in front of the coffin and said sincerely: "Shuxue, I hope you can bless me to catch the real murderer and give you justice. If you are in heaven, you will definitely not let go of the murderer who really killed you! If you hear my voice, please respond to me."
At this moment, the three incense sticks that had been lit suddenly broke in Jiang Fenghua's hands. Seeing this, Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "Sure enough, there is an injustice, Mr. Li, your wife has appeared."
Li Cheng was standing next to her, watching the incense in her hand being broken for no reason. Shock flashed in his pupils. It was not he who killed Shu Xue, so if she wanted to find someone, she should go find the murderer who killed her.
At this time, Mrs. Li suddenly came over and said, "Xue'er's death was indeed too tragic. The murderer has not been executed yet. Xue'er will certainly die with regrets."
Madam Li quietly pulled Li Cheng and told him to stop being dazed. It wasn't him who killed Shu Xue, so what was there to be afraid of?
Jiang Fenghua stared at Madam Li's actions, "Madam Li must love your daughter-in-law very much!"
Madam Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Of course I love her very much. Xue'er died so tragically. Your Majesty, you must take care of Xue'er. It was that Jin Ji who killed my Xue'er."
She had no choice but to marry Shu Xue for her son, as her son's reputation was ruined by Jiang Jinyan. No one was willing to marry their daughter to Cheng'er. It was also Shu Shilang's wife who took the initiative to matchmake with her, saying how good her niece was, how gentle and quiet she was. Unexpectedly, after marrying her, she found out that this girl was very gossipy, lazy, and had no manners. She often spoke ill of her mother-in-law behind her back. If she died, she died. It was her own fault that she was a short-lived person.
"The government has not yet made a final judgment, so Madam Li, you can't say anything careless." Jiang Fenghua said lightly.
"My son caught the murderer red-handed. Your Majesty, it is not right for you to protect the murderer. I know that the murderer is the brother-in-law of your mother's family. Your Majesty often says that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people. He did something worse than an animal, and yet he doesn't allow people to say anything..."
Mrs. Li had suffered a lot from Feng Jingyuan in the past, but now she finally felt that she was right. The Li family lost a daughter-in-law, and the Jiang family will lose a son-in-law. Feng Jingyuan must be very miserable!
"I never said that Madam Li cannot speak. If it is true, I will of course punish the murderer according to the law. However, if Madam Li takes the lead in spreading rumors and slander before the case is investigated clearly, she will also be convicted. So Madam Li, you should be careful with your words and wait for the final judgment of the government! If it is really Jin Ji, he should pay with his life." Jiang Fenghua said this to Madam Li and also to the ladies present.
At this moment, a woman suddenly stepped out from the crowd and said, "The Queen said that a life must be paid with a life, but my daughter is dead. Who will pay for her life? Who will return my daughter's life? My poor daughter, she died so tragically!"
Jiang Fenghua stared at Madam Helan and felt that she looked much older after not seeing her for half a month. Her once black hair was now completely gray.
She thought to herself: How pitiful are the parents in the world. I don’t know how Helan Yanran is doing, but Shang Hong is on duty in the imperial city every day.
Jiang Fenghua suddenly reacted. Why did Madam Helan suddenly come to the Li family in this state? Did someone bring her here on purpose? She stared in the direction of Madam Helan and saw a man dressed as a servant following her stealthily not far behind her.
She said to the guard in a cold voice: "Xiao Liu, catch the boy in the blue cloth."
No one could react. The boy turned around and ran away. However, he was no match for the secret guards and was quickly caught.
Everyone sighed when they saw this, not understanding why the queen had people take action.
Jiang Fenghua said, "Xiao Liu, ask him whose servant he is?"
The secret guard responsible for protecting Jiang Fenghua was specially selected by Ye Ying. He kicked the servant on the buttocks and said, "The Queen is asking you a question! Tell the truth, otherwise your buttocks will be broken."
The servant rolled his eyes and said, "I am not a servant of anyone. I heard that someone died in this family, so I wanted to come in and have a feast."
Xiao Liu asked, "Why are you running?"
"If I'm found by my master, I'll be sent to the government. Who wants to go to jail? I'm just a commoner. How can I fight against an official?"
Jiang Fenghua didn't believe his words, because he came in with Madam Helan. She walked up to the servant and asked coldly, "Where do you live and what's your name?"
"I have no home, the whole world is my home, my name is Jing Yun."
Jiang Fenghua smiled, "Xiao Liu, search him."
