Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 529 Funeral

Prince Ning's Mansion.

Qin Xin described the outside world to Shen Wantang in vivid detail. After she finished, she sighed, "Princess, people outside are saying that Mr. Liao is a real man, a good man who has a clear distinction between love and hate and is loyal and righteous!"

"No one expected that instead of being angry at Miss Shen because Madam Shen poisoned his mother, he treated Miss Shen even better."

"You didn't see how proud Miss Shen was along the way. She showed off to everyone she met how well her husband treated her."

Shen Wantang shook his head slightly: "Shen Mingxuan is still as brainless as ever. But Liao Youhe surprised me a little. He is so patient and calculating."

Qin Xin was puzzled: "Princess, what are you talking about? What forbearance, what conspiracy?"

Du Juan was even more confused than Qin Xin: "It's really strange. When we came out of the cell just now, we met Mr. Liao. He clearly hated the young lady to the core. How could he change so quickly? Could it be that he has already believed that his mother's death had nothing to do with the young lady? Has he forgiven the young lady?"

Qin Xin and Du Juan stared at each other, both feeling that something seemed to be wrong, but they couldn't tell what exactly was wrong.

Shen Wantang's calm voice sounded: "Don't worry, with Liao Youhe's personality, he won't be able to endure it for too long, and there will be a result soon."

Qin Xin and Du Juan looked at each other.

The two of them had not solved their previous doubts, and now a new doubt emerged: Why does the Crown Princess seem to know Liao Youhe so well? She didn't have much contact with him, and she only met him a few times in total, right?

Five days later.

Qin Xin came back hurriedly from outside, and she almost ran into the house: "Crown Princess, something big has happened!"

"what happened?"

"Miss Shen is gone!"

Shen Wantang paused while flipping through the book: "Shen Mingxuan? Dead?"

"Yes!"

"How did you die?"

"Hang yourself!"

"Shen Mingxuan is not someone who would hang herself."

"Really! She even left a suicide note!"

"What suicide note?"

"It's all spread out now. Miss Shen found out that it was her mother who poisoned her mother-in-law. She felt sorry for her husband and felt ashamed to live in this world, so she committed suicide!"

Shen Wantang closed the book and looked out the window.

Although she had anticipated Shen Mingxuan's death, she was not very happy when she actually heard the news of her death.

Especially since she knew in her heart that the person who killed her was Liao Youhe, she couldn't be happy at all.

He was her husband in her previous life. He behaved almost perfectly in front of her. Apart from being gay, he had no other weaknesses.

Strictly speaking, being homosexual is not a weakness, because it is a romantic thing in the capital.

In the afternoon, the Shen family came to report the death.

In the evening, Shen Wantang returned to the Shen family.

The Shen family was in dead silence, with only a faint sound of crying being heard.

When Shen Wantang got closer, she saw that it was Liao Youhe wearing mourning clothes, kneeling in the mourning hall and crying.

Her father Shen Guannian didn't cry, and neither did her elder and second brothers. Only Liao Youhe was crying.

Shen Wantang showed a mocking expression. It was really ironic. Liao Youhe acted so realistically that he almost outshined the Shen family's own people.

Shen Guannian didn't like Liao Youhe. He drove him away with a gloomy face: "Liao Youhe, get out of our Shen family right now. My good daughter is dead after marrying you, and you still have the nerve to cry?! And my wife is still in prison because of you! You are a jinx! Get out, get out now!"

Liao Youhe let Shen Guannian scold him. He seemed to be extremely sad. He did not talk back or refute. He knelt there crying and burning paper money for Shen Mingxuan.

If an uninformed person saw this scene, they would definitely think that Liao Youhe was deeply in love with Shen Mingxuan and that the loss of his beloved wife made him extremely painful.

After burning the paper money, Liao Youhe stood up. He was hunched over, his face was pale, his expression was numb, and he limped out.

Shen Wantang looked at his back and felt that he might be eager for Shen Guannian to scold him away, otherwise he would have to keep pretending here.

Shen Mingxuan was already married. After her death, her funeral should have been held at her husband's house. But now she was taken back to the Shen family. This shows how much Liao Youhe hated her and he was unwilling to take care of her funeral affairs.

After driving Liao Youhe away, Shen Guannian looked at Shen Wantang: "You still remember to come back? You still know that you are a member of the Shen family? I thought you climbed up the high branch of the Ning Wang Mansion and didn't even know your last name!"

Shen Wantang said in a very calm tone: "Did I want to marry into the high-ranking branch of the Ning Palace? My parents ordered me to marry, and the matchmaker said so. I just followed my father's order to marry. It was obviously my father who wanted to marry into the high-ranking branch. It's a pity that you didn't get it."

"you!!!"

Shen Guannian was so angry that his face turned blue: "How dare you say that?! Who should I blame for not being able to get close to you? It's you!"

"You unfilial daughter, if you had been willing to say a few good words for me in front of Prince Ning, I wouldn't have been reinstated until now! As a result, Prince Ning and Princess Ning are both unconscious, and it's useless for me to climb up to them!"

"I think you are a star of misfortune. Anyone who gets close to you will be killed by you! First it was your aunt, then your husband, then your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and now you have killed even your sister!"

Shen Wantang said coldly: "Master Shen, please be careful with your words! My father-in-law and mother-in-law are not dead yet, why are you cursing them for no reason? Shen Mingxuan is dead, but what does this have to do with me? Did I let her die?"

"Your sister was fine. She suffered so much in prison but she didn't die. But after she got out, she committed suicide! Who else can she blame if not you? You are the one who killed her!"

Shen Wantang sneered, "Lord Shen is so majestic! Unfortunately, you have no brains, no wonder you have not been reinstated. If I were your superior, I would not want such a stupid subordinate like you! It's nothing else. Letting someone like you be an official is a disservice to the salary given by the court and to the common people!"

Shen Guannian was almost mad at her and fainted: "You little beast, how dare you say such a thing?! I see I haven't beaten you for a long time, you don't even know who your father is! Come on, use the family rules! Hold her down and beat her hard!"

However, none of the Shen family's servants dared to step forward.

Every time Shen Wantang returned to the Shen family, she brought a bunch of maids and guards with her. She guarded against the Shen family like they were thieves. How could anyone get close to her?

Seeing that no one listened to his orders, Shen Guannian's face became even uglier. He looked at Shen Wantang with hatred in his eyes: "Why didn't you die, you bastard! Your sister is much better than you. If she married into the Ning Wang Mansion, not only would she not die, but she would also help me get close to Ning Wang and let me get my job back!"

"Sir Shen, stop dreaming. Your beloved Shen Mingxuan will be useless even if she marries Prince Ning! You still can't get along with Prince Ning, and you still can't get your job back!"

"you!!!"

"I have come back to attend the funeral. It is almost time for me to return to the palace."

After Shen Wantang finished speaking, he turned and left.

Shen Guannian roared behind her: "Who allowed you to leave? Come back here! You will keep vigil for your sister tonight!"
