Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 252 Buried

Huang Wanwan pondered Fang Ziqing's words, and it was already evening when she left the palace.

She strolled leisurely back home.

Huang Fan happened to be returning from the public office. He turned around and saw his daughter's carriage, so he stood at the door to wait.

"Why are you back so late? Did you go to the Liu family again?"

Huang Wanwan was stunned. Her father actually thought she had gone to the Liu family?

"It's because Ziqing hasn't seen me for a long time and misses me. I just came back from the palace."

Huang Fan was somewhat surprised, "You didn't even go and ask about the Liu family."

"Why should I ask about the Liu family's affairs? Don't you already know?" Huang Wanwan felt flustered just hearing those two words.

"You child, you urged me to stand up for the Liu family, and now you've turned on me again? With your fickle temper, how will you explain things to your future in-laws!" Huang Fan had many children, but he still favored and doted on Huang Wanwan, always feeling that his daughter's character was most like his own.

“That was something Father should have handled, how did it become him standing up for me?” Huang Wanwan automatically ignored the second half of the sentence about choosing a spouse.

Huang Fan, however, was very interested in choosing a spouse. "I also met your aunt today. She asked about your marriage and suggested a few families. You can go and meet them when you have time."

"?!?!" Huang Wanwan's face instantly turned cold. "I'll make my own decisions. She can manage the people in her own residence. She should mind her own business!"

After saying this, she picked up her skirt and went into the mansion.

Huang Fan sighed, "Look at this dog's temper!" He complained to the butler beside him.

The old butler chuckled, "You often say that the young lady's character is most like yours, so don't complain now."

"Sigh..." Huang Fan was speechless for a moment, only lamenting that things were not going well in the palace lately. "The Crown Prince and the Third Prince are probably going to have a fight over Wanwan. Just in case, we should arrange Wanwan's marriage this morning, so that our family won't be dragged into it."

The housekeeper agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "Our young lady is indeed not young anymore."

Huang Fan took it to heart and stepped into the mansion.

At that moment, a deafening roar and cry erupted from the Zhenning Marquis's residence.

Wei Gongming's eldest son suddenly convulsed and foamed at the mouth. Tian Yage urgently called a doctor to treat him, but it was too late. The child had completely died!

"Someone must have deliberately tried to kill him; he was perfectly fine during the day!"

"Who is it? Who is it?" She grabbed several maids in the room and beat them wildly, she had completely gone mad!

"My lady was feeling unwell during the day, and I told you that," the maid Qiaomei cried, looking very aggrieved. "You said you would call a doctor later, but no one expected my lady to suddenly fall ill. I did tell you!"

"You only said he wasn't feeling well, but you didn't say he was about to die. How can you blame me for this?" Tian Yage had already scratched Qiaomei's face raw!

"Is it because you also want to sleep with the prince, and are jealous that I gave birth to his child, that you deliberately want to kill my son!"

"No, this servant didn't... Madam also came to see the young master today, it wasn't just this servant who was watching over him," Qiaomei quickly protested!

Tian Ya Yun's hand froze, and she suddenly looked at Li Shu.

“I check on Huang’er every day, and today was no exception. It was only when I mentioned that Huang’er didn’t seem well that Qiaomei noticed he had a fever. When I asked her again, Qiaomei said that her sister had called a doctor, but he wouldn’t arrive until the afternoon…” Li Shu pursed her lips, the story already memorized.

Qiaomei said softly, "Yes, it was indeed Madam who noticed that the young master was a little feverish, so this servant told Aunt Yun..."

"So, you're the one who couldn't take good care of my son, but you're blaming me? You're the murderer who killed my son! I'm going to beat you to death to make you pay for my son's life!" Tian Ya Yun turned around and pinched Qiao Mei, refusing to let go!

Qiaomei coughed violently as she was being pinched. Guan Shi looked at her grandson's motionless body, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted!

Wei Gongming, however, remained unusually indifferent, keeping his eyes fixed on the child on the bed without going over.

Li Shu looked at him and said, "We still need to have a doctor make a diagnosis to find out why Huang'er died... Although it's true that children under the age of three die young, Huang'er has always been healthy, so it shouldn't have happened so suddenly."

Wei Gongming remained silent.

Guan Shi was woken up by having her philtrum pressed, and just then she heard this sentence, "Shuniang is right, Huang'er has always been in excellent health... Was she injured at the Left Chancellor's residence yesterday?" She suddenly brought up Liu Yuechu, "It was that little girl from the Liu family who made Huang'er fall! That little woman is so strange, she wasn't even afraid of that poisonous scorpion, she must have deliberately poisoned her!"

"Yes, it's her, Liu Yuechu's sister!" Tian Yayun looked at Wei Gongming, "Cousin, you must send someone to arrest her right now and make her pay for Huang'er's life!"

Li Shu also looked at Wei Gongming, her handkerchief almost torn to shreds.

After thinking about it for a long time yesterday, she decided to listen to Jiang Yunjiao's method and kill the unfilial son directly, then frame the Liu family!

She also wanted Wei Gongming to hate the Liu family and completely sever any improper thoughts in his heart!

Liu Yuechu has already killed his own son, how could he still harbor feelings of love for her?

Wei Gongming stood still, expressionless. After a long silence, he summoned his servants and said, "Choose the best coffin and arrange the burial."

"Yes," the servant immediately replied.

Li Shu's eyes narrowed, and she only gave the order to begin the burial, without taking any further action.

Tian Ya Yun rushed over first, "Cousin, aren't you going to settle accounts with the Liu family?!"

"What accounts? That's just your guess." Wei Gongming remained remarkably calm.

"It was she who made those poisonous powders and medicines, which hurt my son, and Huang'er even fell hard!!!" Tian Ya Yun's voice was hoarse from shouting.

"Do you expect me to go to the Dali Temple to file a complaint, and then have the county coroner perform an autopsy on my son to examine his injuries?" Wei Gongming said calmly. "When you returned yesterday, you didn't ask a doctor to examine Huang'er. A day later, you said the Liu family murdered him. Do you think the Liu family will admit to this crime?"

Tian Ya Yun's vision went black, and she staggered two steps, nearly fainting.

Li Shu was also a little flustered; she hadn't expected Wei Gongming to think that way.

"Even if the Liu family doesn't acknowledge him, the young master still has to stand up for Huang'er..."

"Why did you carry Huang'er to see Liu Yuechu yesterday?" Wei Gongming turned and questioned. "If you hadn't carried him, how could he have had this accident?"

"The matter of the Left Chancellor's residence is over. I, the young master, have also said that I would not pursue it further. Moreover, the Third Prince is trying to win over the Liu family and has other plans. None of you are allowed to cause trouble for the Liu family, otherwise don't blame me for turning my back on you and not being polite. I will not let you off lightly!"

After saying this, Wei Gongming went to the door to find someone to carve a stele, but there were no words.

Children who die before the age of three are not buried in the Wei family ancestral hall.

Tian Yage slumped to the ground, and upon hearing Wei Gongming's harsh instructions, she suddenly let out a strange, cold laugh.

The laughter sounded like the wailing of ghosts in the middle of the night, startling the entire mansion and making everyone uneasy.

Suddenly, she stood up and slammed her head against the stone wall beside her...
