Mrs. Zhang was frightened by her daughter's ferocity. She stopped crying abruptly and looked at Zhang Linghui in surprise, who seemed like a madman. She didn't dare to cry anymore.
Neither the mother nor the daughter spoke again, and a deathly silence spread in the room.
Fortunately, after a while, Nanny Zhang knocked on the door gently and called out "Madam Crown Prince", breaking the depressing silence.
Zhang Linghui closed her eyes, covered her still aching heart, hummed and asked someone to come in, and asked weakly: "What's the matter?"
Things have been happening one after another recently, and every one of them is bad. Zhang Linghui is just holding on now, and everything at home and outside is a mess.
Nanny Zhang lowered her head, a little hesitant.
Seeing this, Zhang Linghui's head began to hurt. She laughed at herself and said, "Well, how bad can things get now? What happened?"
Aunt Zhang felt a little sad, but she still lowered her head and said softly, "Madam, the things have been sent back. The steward said that they were not able to see the prince."
It happens again!
Zhang Linghui stood up anxiously and even couldn't help scratching her hair.
She had sent people to try to send something to Xu Rui countless times, but it had never been delivered. This made her really scared - she didn't know how Song Heng would torture the prince in the imperial prison.
Madam Zhang stopped crying and tried to comfort Zhang Linghui despite the pain in her throat: "Don't worry, the prince is still the prince, but he is the future duke. Song Heng dare not do anything too extreme."
How could I not dare to go too far
Song Heng is a mad dog!
Zhang Linghui's mouth was dry, but she didn't want to say anything to her. She just stood up coldly and was about to walk out. Halfway through, she didn't wait for Madam Zhang to ask, but looked at Madam Zhang and said, "I can't control Zhang Jingchan's affairs. She wanted to climb up the social ladder, but she didn't see if she had the ability. Now she has offended people. It's her own fault. I advise you not to waste your energy thinking about using me as a connection. I tell you clearly that I can't even protect myself now, let alone have time to care about her."
Mrs. Zhang wanted to say something but stopped herself. When she saw her daughter leave without looking back, she suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
Until she returned to the Zhang family, she was still immersed in her daughter's words, unable to figure out what they meant.
The eldest master of the Zhang family was extremely anxious. When he saw her coming back, he asked hurriedly, "How is it? What did Linghui say?!"
Mrs. Zhang sat down unhappily and said unhappily, "What can I say? What can I say? She is too busy with her own affairs..."
"But this is a big deal!" The eldest master of the Zhang family couldn't help but stamp his feet in anger: "You are really short-sighted! Now something has happened in the Duke's Mansion, but as long as Jingchan's problem is solved, she will become the prince's concubine. Will the prince still ignore our family's affairs?!"
He was very dissatisfied with his daughter, and his beard stood up in anger: "Really, what's the point of raising her up like this?!"
Can't help at all.
Mrs. Zhang opened and closed her mouth, but in the end she felt sorry for her daughter and couldn't help frowning: "Linghui has helped the family so much over the years, how can you say that? Besides, she is already in a difficult situation now. When I went there, I saw Tongzhou and Tongji crying out of fear. Not only do you not feel sorry for your daughter, but you also force her like this. How can she help?"
The eldest master of the Zhang family exhaled impatiently. In his opinion, Zhang Linghui just didn't care about her mother's family. Otherwise, wouldn't Jingchan's matter be a good thing
But she seemed to have been stepped on and kept persuading them to find a way to push the matter aside.
Pushed
Not to mention that Concubine Li said she liked Jingchan and wanted Jingchan to be her concubine.
Even if Concubine Li didn't say anything, they finally had this opportunity, how could they let it go? !
That’s His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang, the oldest prince in the world!
He snorted, stroked his beard and sneered: "Stop talking nonsense, I don't care, ask her to help Jingchan's matter quickly. If Jingchan is delayed, it will delay our Zhang family. I will treat her as if I don't have a daughter!"
Mrs. Zhang was shaking with anger.
My husband really does whatever he wants.
At this moment, if he went to tell Zhang Linghui such things, Zhang Linghui would be even less likely to care about the family affairs. She pointed at Master Zhang and said angrily: "I won't say anything! If you want to say it, go and tell her. Now that such a big thing has happened in the Duke's Mansion, how can you ask her to help solve it? You are going to force her to death!"
The couple was arguing when a servant suddenly ran in from outside and reported in a hurry that Xu Ying was dead.
What?!
Master Zhang stopped arguing, frowned subconsciously, and then let out an "ah", looking very puzzled.
How could such a thing happen at this time? Logically speaking, it shouldn't happen!
Although there had been rumors that Xu Ying was seriously ill and unable to move, so he was recuperating outside the city, the Chengguo Mansion later sent a large number of people with various medicines and doctors. Even so, Xu Ying still died
Mrs. Zhang's heart suddenly tightened again. After a while, she raised her voice and ordered people to prepare the carriage and sedan chair so that she could go see her daughter.
After all, Xu Ying was Zhang Linghui's uncle and the second son of Duke Chengguo and his wife. If he died, the Xu family would definitely become even more chaotic.
It’s a pity that the servants of the Xu family are too arrogant. After something happened, Zhang Linghui couldn’t control herself.
She was in a hurry to go out, but Master Zhang reached out and grabbed her, hesitantly shook his head and said, "Don't go there."
Mrs. Zhang thought she had misheard and looked at her husband in disbelief. "No matter how capable Linghui is, she has no experience in handling funerals! What will she do if I don't go there at this time? Mrs. Xu has also left Jingchan's matter alone. Are you going to let her handle it alone?"
What if I can handle it alone? That's what Master Zhang thought. He snorted and said, "If I say you can't go, then you can't go. What she is like is her own business. Why are you causing trouble? You can't go!"
He always felt that things were not going well.
Now that Xu Ying is dead, there is no evidence to prove anything, so the Song family can say whatever they want, right
He doesn't really want to get involved in this mess.
Madam Zhang was so angry that her head was buzzing. She pushed Master Zhang away and was about to leave. But just as she stepped out of the door, she saw another servant running in, crying and saying, "Madam, someone from Shuntian Mansion is here, and they want to take Master away."
Master Zhang, who had just chased out, was stunned for a moment, like a clay statue, unable to move.
Wang Tuiguan from Shuntian Prefecture had already come in with a smile on his face. He bowed to Master Zhang and said, "Master, please come with me. Someone has accused you of forcing someone to death."
