The Marquis's Mansion is a cannibalistic hell, the daughter of the emperor is being bloodbathed

Chapter 255: Postponed for 3 months

There was total silence in the Chengde Hall, save for the slight sound of Emperor Wen Jin's dragon robe when he dipped his brush into ink.

The King of Qi broke out in a cold sweat on his back. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that the Queen went to the East Palace last night and his men didn't find an opportunity to take action, so they simply gave up the action and left.

As soon as this person left, people from the Imperial City Bureau surrounded the entire Eastern Palace and summoned several princes into the palace. Even Prince Rui, who had not been seen for a long time, dragged his sick body into the palace.

What is the emperor going to do?

Is he going to release Prince Rui from his house arrest? Or has Prince Rui already won the emperor's favor again?

"Your Majesty, I heard that Su Yuejie was already seriously injured, so it's normal that he can't hold on any longer." King Qi said.

He guessed that his father must know that he had been invited to a banquet at the Marquis of Chengping's Mansion yesterday, so he told him directly about Su Yuejie's situation.

"You seem to know a lot about it." Wen Jindi glanced at him.

His fourth son was a useless guy who only knew how to follow women around. He even made a special trip to the Imperial City to pick up Su Yunrou's mother without even considering his own identity.

The King of Qi lowered his head and said nothing.

"Prince Rui, your future princess's eldest brother is dead. What do you think?" Emperor Wen Jin put down his pen and looked at his third son, who had lost a lot of weight and had a pale face.

"According to the rules, I should send someone to say hello."

Prince Rui was a little confused about what Emperor Wen Jin meant and could only give a conventional answer.

"Then let someone go and ask." Emperor Wen Jin said.

He had just finished speaking when he saw the chief eunuch walking towards him.

"Your Majesty, the second young lady of the Marquis of Chengping's residence, Su Yunrou, wants to see you. She is kneeling outside the palace gate right now."

"Oh? Did you say what it was about?" Wen Jindi asked.

The King of Qi pricked up his ears nervously. The King of Rui kept his expression unchanged, but there was a coldness in his eyes.

"It is said that her elder brother Su Yuejie passed away. They had a deep relationship and wanted to observe mourning for him for a year. Please grant me your permission, Your Majesty."

Emperor Wen Jin had actually expected this to happen, and his smile inevitably had a hint of majesty.

Our dynasty governs the world with benevolence and filial piety. According to the rules, it is reasonable for Su Yunrou to mourn for her brother for a year. If it is for parents, the mourning period can be as short as one year or as long as three years. The definition of mourning period depends entirely on one's benevolence, righteousness and filial piety. Some people do not observe the mourning period or only observe it for one month. I just didn't expect the people in the Marquis' Mansion to be so anxious that they came to the palace so soon?

"Prince Rui, what do you think?" Emperor Wen Jin looked at Prince Rui.

A storm was raging in Prince Rui's heart, and he felt a pain in his chest due to anger.

That bitch Su Yunrou said she was in mourning for Su Yuejie, but in fact she was just delaying their wedding.

"The second lady is quite affectionate towards her brother, so there is no problem for me as your son." After Prince Rui finished speaking, he coughed several times.

Emperor Wenjin glanced at him, thought for a while, and said to the chief eunuch, "Please postpone it for three months and let her go back."

"The slave obeys the order."

The news quickly reached Su Yunrou. When she heard that it would only take three months, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

This is too little. She thought she could drag it out for a year.

Prince Qi was also extremely dissatisfied. He thought his father would directly cancel the marriage between Yun Rou and Prince Rui, but it was only delayed for three months.

"The prince is seriously ill. You, his brothers, should stay out of his sight," said Emperor Wen Jin.

Many princes understood the situation and thought that the crown prince was about to die. After all, his illness was getting more and more serious.

The King of Qi lowered his eyes. If the Crown Prince died of illness, it would no longer be the King of Rui's fault. What a pity!

All the princes left the palace with their own thoughts, but the seventh prince, Prince An, ran to find his mother without any worries. Before leaving, he asked Emperor Wen Jin: "Father, are you going to have dinner with my mother later?"

"No!" Wen Jindi said unhappily.

He wanted to continue teaching Prince An a lesson, but he just ran away.

After these people left, Emperor Wen Jin sighed.

"It would be great if the prince could have their blessing."

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be fine." Li Yuncheng comforted.

Emperor Wen Jin shook his head. He knew the prince's condition too well. It was not easy to make him get better.

"Let's not talk about the Crown Prince. You should keep an eye on the Prince of Qi. After he came back from the Marquis of Chengping's Mansion, he sent people to Cuiwei Villa. I don't know what he is doing."

"My minister obeys."

After receiving the imperial edict, Li Yuncheng left Chengde Hall.

……

After Su Yunrou came back, everyone in the Marquis of Chengping's Mansion knew that her wedding had been postponed for three months.

When Liu knew about it, she just nodded and said nothing.

Su Zhiyi thought it was a good idea. This way, she would have time to find a way to marry the King of Qi.

The old marquis and old lady Kang also thought so. Little lady Kang and others were not very happy. She wished that Su Yunrou would marry into Prince Rui's mansion tomorrow, but now she had to wait for another three months for no reason.

Su Qingwan had already expected Su Yunrou's behavior, so she was not surprised.

However, she still sent someone to the Prince of Qi's palace.

"Your Highness, Prince Qi, my fourth young lady said that she would go to the north of the city to get things after the eldest young master's funeral." After seeing Prince Qi, Qing Er told Prince Qi what Su Yunrou had said.

King Qi looked at Qing Er coldly. The more time, the better. He wanted Su Qingwan to die in extreme pain.

"I understand. Go back and tell her that the things are ready and she can pick them up anytime."

After Qing Er wrote down the words, he returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

After listening to this, Su Qingwan nodded calmly.

After Su Yuejie's body had been kept for seven days, the day of the funeral finally arrived.

Except for the old marquis and Mrs. Kang, everyone else in the marquis's mansion went to attend the funeral.

Su Qingwan was also in the funeral procession, and the group quickly left the outer city and headed for the Su family's ancestral tomb.

Just as they were passing Fengyu Pavilion, the funeral procession collided with a group of exiled prisoners.

Liu cried so miserably that she didn't even notice who was in the Fengyu Pavilion. After today, her son would no longer be by her side.

"Hahahaha! Liu, you bitch, you deserve this day. Hahahaha..."

After confirming that the name on the tablet was Su Yuejie, Mrs. Liu couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw how sad Mrs. Liu looked.

Her laughter was so loud that everyone in the Marquis' Mansion looked over.

Madam Zhou reminded Liu: "Madam, those are people from the Zhang family. Your sister is making fun of us!"

She had a deep hatred with the Zhang family, and now when she saw them, she felt a dull pain in her arms.

"Hahaha, Liu, you deserve it. I didn't expect that there would be a day when you would have to bury your loved ones. What should I say? Should I say this is your retribution? Do you think no one knows that you harmed our Zhang family? Hahaha, God remembers it. Your son's early death was the retribution for your evil deeds. You will be the next one. All of you in the Su family will die, hahaha..."

Mrs. Liu laughed extremely wildly, completely lacking the bearing and self-control she had as a lady of a wealthy family.

Liu was so angry that she was shaking all over. This bitch, Mrs. Liu, actually dared to scold her and curse her. If she didn't beat her to a pulp today, she would no longer be named Liu.

"Hit me, tear that rotten mouth of Liu Shi apart for me!"
