The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1745 Liu Dalan is killed

With large eyes that could read the room, he said, "Young Master, should I go out and chase Officer Sun away?"

Cheng Feng raised his hand to cover his eyes, looking utterly exhausted. After a long while, he said, "Take Constable Sun to see my elder brother and Tie Zhu. I have no heart to deal with their family matters today."

"Understood." Big Eyes ran off quietly, not daring to waste a moment.

Wan Lianxing said to Cheng Feng, "Feng'er, take care of your own family affairs first before you go and manage someone else's household. Right now, it's time to give your father a proper burial and take good care of your mother. You are the pillar of the family, so you have to pull yourself together."

"Uncle, I understand!" Cheng Feng had no time to consider his elder brother's family affairs. Liu Dalan's death was just an accident for him, and he was not greatly moved.

Cheng Tiezhu and Cheng Laoda whispered a few words to each other and then followed Constable Sun outside. Just then, Yu Hua bumped into them and asked, "Tiezhu, where are you rushing off to?"

“Aunt Yuhua, this can’t be explained in a few words. Let’s go to the yamen.”

Upon hearing that it was the yamen (government office), and at this time, Yu Hua knew that something terrible had happened. "Tie Zhu, what on earth has happened!"

Big Eyes said from the side, "I know everything, Butler Yuhua, let me tell you!"

Big Eyes whispered a few words in Yu Hua's ear, and Yu Hua's legs went weak and she took a step back. "Really? Su Aixiu would dare to kill someone?"

Yu Hua had met that person many times. Her character was impeccable, and she was also remarkably patient. Yu Hua could never associate her with the murderer.

Big Eyes said, "Look how quickly they left, it must be true! Even Constable Sun came, how could this be fake?"

Yu Hua thought that a death is a big deal, regardless of who killed the person. Yu Hua's heart skipped a beat, and she told Da Yan, "Don't tell anyone yet."

Big Eyes nodded obediently, looking like he understood everything.

Inside the mourning hall, Shang Xi was burning paper money in the brazier when Yu Hua whispered a few words in her ear. Shang Xi leaned back, equally incredulous, and asked, "Really?"

No matter how shameless and despicable Liu Dalan was, she didn't deserve to die. Nobody wanted her to die. It would have been one thing if she had died of illness, but she was killed by her daughter-in-law. Shang Xi was shocked when she heard this, mainly because they knew both the dead person and the murderer.

Yu Hua nodded. "It's true, Boss Cheng and Tie Zhu both left with Constable Sun."

Shang Xi said, "Liu Dalan is He Ye's mother after all. With such a big thing happening, we should tell He Ye!"

Yu Hua said, "That's what I think too! I'll go talk to He Ye then!"

When He Ye learned of this, her face turned pale and her lips trembled. Cheng Qingsheng said he would take her to the yamen to ask about it, but He Ye shook her head coldly, "I said I would never see her again. I never went to see her while she was alive, and I won't go to see her now that she's dead."

Yu Hua saw that the man was about to burst into tears. "You're just being stubborn! Qing Sheng, find a room and take He Ye to rest."

Chen Qingsheng said, "Why don't I go to the yamen (government office) and ask around to see how the person died!"

He Ye shook her head: "You are not allowed to go either. The Chen family has nothing to do with the Cheng family's affairs."

"I'll do whatever you say! I'll take you to rest; you don't look well!"

After they had gone some distance, Chen Qingliao said, "We used to be from the same village, and now we're in-laws. It wouldn't be right not to go and see what's going on. I'll go to the yamen and ask around to see why Su Aixiu wanted to kill Liu Dalan."

Yu Hua and Chen Qingliao shared the same idea: "Go and see if you can help them."

……

In Madam Wan's room, a royal physician was taking the pulse of the unconscious Madam Wan, with Wan Baiqian attending to her and Cheng Feng standing guard by the bedside. "Royal physician, is my mother alright?"

The imperial physician shook his head. "The princess's condition is not good. Her pulse is weak and without root, which is caused by excessive grief and is a sign of exhaustion of her heart energy."

Cheng Feng didn't understand at first, "What do you mean?"

Wan Baiqian understood, and she cried as she said, "The imperial physician said that Mother's life is in danger."

Sitting in the chair, Wan Lianxing could no longer contain himself. "Imperial Physician, please tell me how to treat this!"

"Your Majesty, quickly prepare a calming decoction, and if combined with acupuncture, we can still give it a try."

Wan Lianxing made a decisive decision: "Then what are we waiting for? Quickly treat my sister-in-law, and there must be no mistakes."

"Sir, obey!"

Before long, Madam Wan's head was covered with needles, and her pulse became stable.

Wan Lianxing said, "Qian'er, your mother has just been saved. You stay here and take care of her. Don't let her go to the mourning hall!"

"Uncle, I persuaded my mother to stay; she'll go to the mourning hall once she wakes up!"

"Do you want to see your mother go with your father?"

Before the words were even finished, Madam Wan, who had just opened her eyes, started clamoring to go to the mourning hall to keep Master Wan company.

Wan Baiqian's tears fell in a steady stream. "Uncle, look at this, how am I supposed to comfort her?"

Wan Lianxing sighed and said to Physician Li, "Just knock my sister-in-law unconscious and let her rest for two hours."

"Your Majesty, I obey!" Physician Li only used one needle, and Madam Wan remained motionless on the bed.

Cheng Feng stood there, stunned. "Will this work?"

Wan Lianxing said, "Why not?"

Not only did it happen, but Wan Lianxing's entire world fell silent.

Just then, Da Yan came in and whispered to Chengfeng, "Young Master, the gatekeeper said a stranger came with a child to ask you to recognize him as his grandfather!"

"I'm already in complete chaos, and you just make things worse!"

Big Eyes took a step back, afraid that Cheng Feng would get angry and hit her. "Young Master, shall I send your granddaughter away?"

"My son is only ten years old and just got married today. Where did this granddaughter come from? Throw her out and don't bother me again."

Big Eyes asked cautiously, "Your Highness, could it be that your illegitimate son gave birth to your granddaughter?"

Cheng Feng kicked Da Yan in the leg, "Get out of here, I only have one son."

Before Da Yan could even get up, a wail rang out from the doorway, a loud, wailing sound that almost rivaled Cheng Youning's mourning for her grandfather.

Cheng Feng became anxious, "The Emperor is here! Who is disturbing His Majesty! Get rid of them!"

"Grandpa, it's me, Xinhe!"

Cheng Feng felt like crying. "Xinhe, who brought you here?"

"There was no one at home, so Xinhe was scared and knocked on her neighbor's door, asking her to bring Xinhe over."

Seeing the outstretched little hands, Cheng Feng had no choice but to pick her up. The child's face was covered in snot and tears, and Cheng Feng, who was in a bad mood, didn't have the heart to wipe them away. "Don't cry, okay?"

"Grandpa, my mother has been kidnapped by a group of people! Please go and save her!"

“Your father is gone, your family will be back soon.” Cheng Feng glared at Da Yan. “What are you looking at? Don’t you have any sense? Hurry up and take this child away.”

"Oh!"
