Chapter 1,271
Wang died of anger before he finished speaking.
There was still a mocking smile on her lips, which made Ling Yu frown.
Although Ling Yu didn't expect Wang's confession to bring down Concubine Shao, she could at least have one more bargaining chip against Concubine Shao.
Unexpectedly, Wang was so concerned about Concubine Shao that he would rather die than betray her.
The eldest aunt was shocked by Wang's death. She stared blankly, not knowing whether to sympathize with Wang or resent her for being vicious to Lan Huijuan.
Ling Xiangsheng was afraid that Wang's viciousness would implicate him and make Prince Yi and Ling Yu hate him.
He quickly said to Ling Yu: "Ayu, Wang committed suicide out of fear of crime. She deserves it! Don't resent her!"
"My father is sorry for you and your mother. I didn't even know that the Wang family had done these evil things... My father will definitely move your mother's grave to the Ling family's ancestral grave one day..."
"No need! My mother has already been laid to rest, and I believe she doesn't want to be buried in the Ling family's ancestral grave!"
Ling Yu interrupted Ling Xiangsheng coldly. She had no good impression of this cheap father.
But it was Wang who poisoned Lan Huijuan.
Even if Ling Xiangsheng did not treat Lan Huijuan kindly and ignored Lan Huijuan's bullying by Madam Ling and Wang, other than that, he had not done anything extremely sinful.
Ling Yu and Ling Xiang also grew up in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. They looked at the monks rather than the Buddhas. For the sake of the old Marquis, she could no longer argue with Ling Xiang.
The old Marquis felt heavy in his heart. He knew that even if his family was kind to the Ling Yu brothers and sisters, it could not offset the harm done to the Ling Yu brothers and sisters by Wang's poisoning of Lan Huijuan.
He had no shame to speak for his family, so he could only look at Ling Yu guiltily and said tentatively: "Since Wang is willing to die to atone for her sins, let her have a break..."
"Grandpa, this is father's family matter. How to deal with the Wang family's posthumous affairs, Ling Yu won't have much trouble!"
"But...I won't come to pay homage to Mrs. Wang!"
Ling Yu said in a deep voice.
If the Ling family continues to bury the Wang family, they can only be buried as the second wife of the Ling family. As the daughter, Ling Yu has to pay mourning tribute to the Wang family according to the rules.
How can this be!
Ling Yu would never show filial piety to someone who killed her mother and poisoned herself!
"Need not!"
The old marquis also knew what Ling Yu was thinking, and immediately said firmly: "Ling Xiangsheng, find someone to send Wang family out of the city overnight, and tell the public that Wang family is sick and sent her back to her hometown to recuperate!"
"I'll send you a message of condolence from my hometown after a while!"
In this way, even if Wang died in his hometown, Ling Yu would not have to travel thousands of miles to attend the funeral.
"Ling Yan should also be sent together, lest she still misses King Wei and brings trouble to the Ling family!"
The old Marquis said tiredly: "When she recovers, I will find a match for her in her hometown! The dowry will be paid by my father, so I won't treat her badly!"
Ling Xiangsheng was stunned. He was reluctant to send his daughter away.
But thinking about the future of himself and Ling Feng, he still relies on Ling Yu and Xiao Lintian for support. If he doesn't do this, they will be angry.
"Yes, listen to father!"
Ling Xiangsheng glanced at Wang on the ground with disgust, went out to find two cronies, covered Wang with a piece of white cloth and carried her out.
The old Marquis looked at his eldest aunt: "My eldest daughter-in-law, you and Wan'er can move back tomorrow! The whole family in the Marquis's residence is counting on you!"
The eldest aunt opened her mouth. During this period of time, she had established her own business. She didn't have to wait on the old man at home, and she didn't have to worry about trivial matters at home. She lived a very comfortable life, so she didn't want to come back to wade in troubled waters.
But the old Marquis only has two sons. Ling Xiangsheng is going to his hometown to arrange the Wang family's funeral. There are a lot of things in the house, does the old Marquis have to do it himself?
"Okay, Father!"
The eldest aunt could not refuse and could only agree.
