Chapter 713 Who opened the coffin?
Zhang Yurou actually didn't want to come, but she couldn't not come, so she had to come. She also sat in the carriage of the Fourth Prince's Mansion. The maid helped her get off the carriage, and her legs were shaking a little.
The maid asked, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Yurou calmed down and didn't even dare to look at the white sail on the plaque on the door of Li's mansion. "I'm fine, you hold me up."
Jiang Fenghua got off the carriage first and saw that the Fourth Princess looked pale. It seemed that she must be harboring evil thoughts. She was clearly frightened by the appearance of "Su Qingqing" that day and was later pulled back by the Fourth Prince. It turned out that Zhang Yurou was afraid of ghosts!
It must be because he has done too many bad things.
At this moment, a gorgeous carriage stopped in front of the Li Mansion, and the Third Princess Yuan Wenqiang got out of the carriage. She immediately saw Jiang Fenghua and Zhang Yurou standing on the side of the road. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and then she immediately put on a smile.
She got out of the car and walked respectfully to Jiang Fenghua: "Your humble servant pays respects..."
Jiang Fenghua quickly stopped him, "No need to be so polite, Third Prince's wife. This is outside the palace, and I am only wearing casual clothes, so there is no need to perform these empty formalities."
The Third Princess' eyes were full of smiles, "Yes, can I call you Fenghua outside the palace?"
Jiang Fenghua paused, he was indeed a smiling tiger, it was not easy to learn the skill of the Third Princess.
Jiang Fenghua said: "Of course, but today we are here to pay our respects to the Li family, so the Third Prince's wife should be more solemn."
After all, someone died.
The Third Princess immediately stopped smiling, "Your Majesty is scolding me, Wen Qiang obeys your orders."
Her three children were all granted the privilege of entering the palace to study, so she had to try her best to curry favor with them, fearing that they might be wronged in the palace. She only hoped that they would study hard under Tutor Jiang, and that their future success would depend on whether they could excel more than others by the emperor's side.
When they walked towards the Li family, the Li family's doorman recognized the third and fourth princesses, but did not know the queen.
The doorman bowed quickly and said, "I greet the Third Princess and the Fourth Princess. This is..."
The Third Princess hurriedly said, "Go and inform Madam Li that there is a distinguished guest."
The doorman took one look at Jiang Fenghua and felt that she had an outstanding temperament and was noble and extraordinary. He quickly replied "yes" and ran in.
Jiang Fenghua didn't have time to stop them. Soon, Madam Li, Li Cheng and others came out one after another. When they saw Jiang Fenghua, their pupils trembled slightly and they knelt on the ground quickly, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to the Queen."
Madam Li disliked Jiang Fenghua and the Jiang family very much, but since the other party was the queen, she did not dare to act presumptuously.
Following her were the families of court ministers. Whether they came to watch the fun or to pay their respects, everyone was still a little shocked when they saw Jiang Fenghua.
At this time, everyone exchanged greetings again.
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "I am leaving the palace in casual clothes, so no need to be polite. Today, I am here to pay my respects just like everyone else, so please be casual! The dead are the greatest."
She then said to Madam Li, "This palace, the Third Princess, and the Fourth Princess would like to burn some incense in front of the mourning hall."
Madam Li said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please. Princess, please."
However, everyone present also learned from Madam Li that the murderer was the Queen's brother-in-law. Now that the Queen has arrived, no one knows how the government will judge this case.
Everyone felt very sympathetic towards Shu Xue, her death was so tragic, and they demanded that the government severely punish the murderer, but the Jiang family was behind the murderer.
Jiang Fenghua knew what they were thinking just by looking at their eyes. They must have thought that Jin Ji was the son-in-law of the Jiang family, and that he had done something unforgivable, so the Jiang family would cover up for him.
If the Jiang family really did such a thing, the Jiang family's backbone would never be straightened in the future. This shows how vicious the person who framed Jin Ji was.
Her face was full of kindness, but her eyes flashed with a sharp cold light. If the mastermind behind the scenes was not caught, the Jiang family would be in a dead end. She would never allow this to happen.
The people who were talking in front of the mourning hall just now stopped talking when they saw the queen arrive.
Anger flashed in Mrs. Li's eyes, but she dared not say anything. Seeing her son act like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw Jiang Fenghua, she became even angrier.
Jiang Fenghua looked in the direction of Li Cheng. She actually didn't know Li Cheng. Seeing a man respectfully accompanying Mrs. Li, she guessed his identity. He didn't look like a decadent man whose wife had died. Instead, he looked like a soldier who was ready to fight at any time, with his eyes full of vigilance.
Is she a tiger?
Jiang Fenghua spoke first, "Don't stand at the door, come in!"
They only dared to let the Queen go first, so Jiang Fenghua was the first to step into the Li Mansion.
In such an occasion, the Third Princess still had some sense of propriety. She saw Zhang Yurou walk to the back and pushed her, "Fourth Princess, aren't you going in?"
Zhang Yurou smiled awkwardly, "Princess Third, please go first!"
The Third Princess wondered to herself, when did she become so "modest"?
The Third Princess did not think too much about it. The noble ladies present were all familiar with her, and they all went into the Li Mansion together, talking one after another.
Hong Xiu stood at the back. She walked up to the Fourth Princess and asked, "Why don't you go in, Princess?"
The Fourth Princess was very nervous. She lifted her legs as if they weighed a thousand pounds and followed closely into Li's residence.
There was a mahogany coffin placed in the hall of the Li family, and even the auditorium was decorated grandly, as if they were afraid that others would not know that someone in the Li family had died.
Jiang Fenghua knew their purpose, which was to make a big deal out of the matter and frame Jin Ji. They wanted the Jiang family to bear the blame. Someone from the Li family had died, and the people of the entire Shengjing City knew about it!
"Third Princess, Fourth Princess, please follow me to burn some incense for Madam Li!" Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice.
The Third Princess followed her, but the Fourth Princess did not dare to approach. She only heard the Third Princess shouting, "What's wrong with the Fourth Princess?"
Jiang Fenghua said: "The Fourth Princess must be scared, she is timid."
The Third Princess said, "You have the best relationship with Madam Li, so what are you afraid of? Don't be afraid, let's go together!"
Zhang Yurou was pulled by her and just as she walked to the mourning hall, she even felt someone pushing her from behind. Before she could react, suddenly, she fell towards the coffin without knowing what was happening.
Zhang Yurou's hands were seen on the coffin, and her head almost hit it. At this moment, her posture was as if she was crawling on the coffin. For some reason, the coffin was half open. Shu Xue was wearing a new pink shroud. She liked pink the most. Her body was covered with pink flowers.
Zhang Yurou even saw Shu Xue's face and eyes. Her eyes were wide open with fear, and her mouth seemed unable to close. The Fourth Princess was so frightened that she screamed on the spot: "Ah!"
Jiang Fenghua glanced in the direction of the coffin. No wonder Zhang Yurou was so frightened. Shu Xue's death was indeed horrific.
She didn't have time to care about Zhang Yurou. She just saw that the coffin was opened a crack.
Instead, the Third Princess kindly helped the Fourth Princess, "Fourth Princess, are you okay?"
Zhang Yurou was so frightened that she had difficulty breathing. She pointed at the coffin and said coldly, "Why is the coffin open?"
At this time, the servants of the Li family came forward to check, and they were also shocked, "Who opened the coffin?" It was clearly closed!
