Chapter 712: The Princess Is Strange
Zhang Yurou's face changed. She tried to regulate her breathing, but the news she received was that Concubine Su was dead!
Could it be that Concubine Su was not dead yet? Was it Concubine Su that she saw on the Lantern Festival?
But Xie Yang said that the Concubine Su he saw in the palace that day was fake, and Concubine Su was actually dead. Xie Yang had known that she had been in contact with Concubine Su but did not expose her. There were even people of Xie Yang around the emperor.
Zhang Yurou felt terrified when she recalled the scene of that night. The memory of that night was very clear in her mind and she couldn't forget it even if she wanted to. It was as if the soul of Concubine Su was following her and wanted her help.
She calmed herself down. It was all fake. She tried hard to keep a smile on her face.
Jiang Fenghua mentioned Concubine Su in front of her. Did she know something?
She was thinking again: Why did Jiang Fenghua say that she was not dead yet? Did she really fake her death? How could someone as smart as Concubine Su die so easily?
Zhang Yurou was stunned and confused. She wanted to go back and ask Xie Yang whether Concubine Su was dead.
She said: "I have to go back first..."
Feng Jingyuan said, "The meal is ready, why are you leaving? Eat first and then go back!" Ruan Ruan gave her a look, and she understood immediately.
Zhang Yumo also remembered what Jiang Fenghua had said to her, and thought more about why she came to apologize today. It seemed that there was nothing suspicious, but she knew her cousin too well. She had never been a person who would take the initiative to admit her mistakes and apologize since she was a child, not to mention that it was a conflict between children, so it was even more impossible for her to apologize on behalf of her daughter.
She smiled and said, "Cousin, please stay for dinner!"
Jiang Fenghua also said, "Princess Four, please stay at the Jiang residence for dinner. There is nothing else for you to do at home. The emperor has already ordered all the princesses and sons of the princes to go to the palace to study. Princess Yi should have gone to the palace as well!"
Zhang Yurou smiled and said, "Yes, he entered the palace."
"The Fourth Princess will come to the palace this afternoon to pick up the little princess from school. Please come with me!" Jiang Fenghua said.
Zhang Yurou thought of Xie Yang's instructions again. She wanted to get closer to Jiang Fenghua. She said, "Okay! Yi'er will often go to the palace to study in the future. I may have to bother the Queen more often."
"I and the Fourth Prince's wife are sisters-in-law. In ordinary families, sisters-in-law should be closer than real sisters. The Fourth Prince's wife often comes to Kunning Palace to accompany me and relieve my boredom." Jiang Fenghua smiled, her eyes as gentle as water. Since Zhang Yurou wanted to act with her, she would accompany her to the end.
Zhang Yumo took a sip of tea to hide the doubts in her eyes. What are the queen and cousin pretending to be? It's so tiring!
Zhang Yumo said, "After breakfast, I want to go to the Jin Mansion to see Sister Rumeng." Jiang Rumeng is older than Zhang Yumo, so she always calls her sister.
Feng Jingyuan said, "I made some food for Mengmeng. Moer, you can take it and persuade her to eat some. I will stay at home to watch over Xiaochu and will not go."
Zhang Yumo said, "Okay, don't worry, mother. Sister Rumeng will get through this. There may be good news when my husband comes back."
When Zhang Yurou heard them talking, a scornful smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her lips. What she didn't know was that all her expressions were seen by Jiang Fenghua.
Jiang Fenghua thought to himself: It seems that Zhang Yurou knows something!
Jiang Fenghua said: "Mrs. Li is dead, the Fourth Princess knows about this, right?"
Zhang Yurou said calmly: "I heard about it."
"Mrs. Li and the Fourth Princess have a very good relationship, right?"
Zhang Yurou paused, "I...we don't actually..."
Zhang Yumo said: "My cousin and Shu Xue have had a good relationship since they were young. They often play together. She can be considered my cousin's best friend! It's strange that Shu Xue and I have known each other since we were young, but she doesn't like to play with me, but I don't like to play with her either." Shu Xue was not good at academics, so she was naturally jealous of her. But my cousin was the most gentle and lovely, and the Shu sisters liked to play with her.
Jiang Fenghua said: "Then the Fourth Princess must know Madam Li very well."
Zhang Yurou originally wanted to say that she was not familiar with him, but Zhang Yumo said it first, so she couldn't say that she was not familiar with him. She said, "I know him a little bit."
"Sister-in-law, please accompany me to the Li family to burn incense! Sister-in-law, your good friend has passed away, you must be very sad!" Jiang Fenghua asked again: "Have you been to the Li family?"
Zhang Yurou suddenly became nervous, "Not yet... not yet."
"What happened to the Fourth Prince's wife?" Jiang Fenghua could see that Zhang Yurou must know the cause of Shu Xue's death.
Zhang Yurou covered her eyes with a handkerchief and pretended to rub her eyes until they turned red. "Speaking of Shu Xue, I feel very sad. I dare not go to visit her. I still cannot accept that Shu Xue is dead, so I came to chat with Mo'er early in the morning. She died so tragically."
Jiang Fenghua sneered: She really acted like it.
Jiang Fenghua said in a deep voice: "The Fourth Princess hasn't even seen Shu Xue's body yet, how do you know she died tragically?"
Zhang Yurou was stunned. "I...I heard about it."
"Who told you that?" Jiang Fenghua pressed on.
"When I went out in the morning, I went out with my prince. I met Minister Shu on the way. He was talking to my prince, and I happened to hear it." Zhang Yurou explained.
Jiang Fenghua said calmly, "I have also heard that Madam Li died tragically. I heard that she was raped and murdered. She must have suffered a lot of injustices and must have been very helpless before her death. It is indeed very pitiful. A good girl is gone like this at such a young age."
Zhang Yurou said: "I heard that her murderer was..."
"Sister-in-law of the Fourth Prince wants to say that you heard that he is the husband of my second sister. Sister-in-law of the Fourth Prince, please don't believe it. The government is still investigating the case. Before the case is fully investigated, we cannot determine that he is the murderer." Jiang Fenghua said.
Zhang Yurou nodded, "Yes, the government will investigate it thoroughly!" How could a murderer who was caught on the spot be cleared of all charges, unless the Queen and the Jiang family covered up for him and showed favoritism to him, which would be great.
Zhang Yumo also said: "We will definitely investigate thoroughly and clear Jin Ji's grievances. I believe in him too."
During the time she was at the Jiang Mansion, Jin Ji and Jiang Rumeng often returned there. Jin Ji was a man who loved Jiang Rumeng very much. His heart and eyes were full of his wife. How could such a man rape and kill another woman? Besides, Shu Xue was not as pretty as Jiang Rumeng.
After having breakfast at Jiang's house, Jiang Fenghua invited Zhang Yurou to go to Minister Li's house together. Zhang Yumo did not go with them. She went to find Jiang Rumeng.
Zhang Yumo had once been engaged to Li Cheng, and the Li family was very hostile towards her, so Mrs. Jiang did not recommend that she go to the Li Mansion, and she had no plans to come.
White sails were hung inside and outside the Li Mansion. Hong Xiu whispered, "The eldest master asked us not to come and stay at home to wait for news. Lin Yu hasn't sent any news yet. If we rush to the Li Mansion, will it cause unnecessary trouble?"
Jiang Fenghua said: "Don't worry, I believe in my elder brother. He will leave the case in the hands of Prefect Zhang." Besides, it is Xie Shang who has the final say on who will handle the case.
Now everyone is laughing at the Jiang family. Wouldn't she be talked about if she hides?
Instead of hiding, it is better to deal with it directly. She must find the flaw.
