"Old lady, can this really make this matter as if it never happened?"
When Ms. Liu saw this scene, she couldn't help but ask, after all, if Liu Shuxuan ended up like this, would it be like this if her daughter's affairs were also discovered in the future.
It was a matter of her daughter's life and death, so she couldn't help but be cautious.
"Haha." The old lady also smiled self-deprecatingly: "It's just self-deception. It's just that doing this can finally cover the Hou Mansion with a fig leaf. You will feel the taste of this in the future."
Mrs. Liu and Liu Shirui looked at each other and said nothing further.
At noon, news came from outside the house that Zhang Yifeng, under Zhang Yuhang's persuasion, personally approached Xie Yongling. Because of this matter, the two had a big quarrel in Xie's house. Xie Yongling kept silent about the matter and threatened that it had nothing to do with him.
Because of this incident, the two ended up having a huge quarrel, which even alarmed Mr. Xie, and eventually broke up on bad terms.
When Zhang Yuhang returned to the Hou Mansion, he saw that the Xingyong Hou Mansion was already covered with white cloth and a piece of manuscript.
Without waiting for Zhang Yuhang to confirm, Xiao Ma took the initiative to step forward and said that it was Mr. Liu Zuan who hanged himself in the room.
Three feet of white silk, a plain manuscript, to end this remaining life.
As for Liu Shuxuan, when she heard this scene, she was so frightened that she fainted, but no one was sure whether she was really fainted or completely asleep now.
Sun's mood is extremely bad now. Even the old lady is not willing to get into trouble now.
Arriving at the lobby, almost everyone in the Hou Mansion was gathered here, except Sun and her daughter.
"Old lady, it's me who is incompetent. If Xie Yongling refuses to admit it, the third brother can do nothing if he comes forward in person."
The first time he saw the old lady, Zhang Yuhang took the initiative to apologize.
"Well, I can't blame you. Xie Yongling has a plan for a long time. Ever since Wang Yu's incident, he has been deliberately making us slack off and relax our vigilance against him. Even if he didn't ask you to invite your brother over, he still would have done it when we were both in Kyoto. There will be other ways, he has been plotting against us from the beginning."
The old lady's expression was very bad at the moment. She originally wanted to invite people from the clan to resolve the issue of Liu Ziheng's entry into the family tree as soon as possible, but who knew it would turn out like this.
But he also thought about how he had told his brother everything before, and now that he was dead, he had to hide the matter for the time being.
It is indeed difficult for an outsider to be recognized by these clan elders, and it is even more difficult for him to inherit the title of Marquis Xingyong.
But what if according to what Zhang Yuhang said, this child is originally a bloodline of our Hou family?
It couldn't be Shirui's, so what if it belonged to his brother?
The same year when these sons and daughters of the family died in battle, it was also the time when Liu Shirui fell into a coma due to dystocia. If she accidentally left her own blood outside before going to war, who would be able to tell the difference?
Even if it is a blood test, then Liu Ziheng is definitely of Liu's blood.
Thinking of this, her originally depressed mood was somewhat relieved.
"No matter what, I will remember this grudge. If you dare to scheme against our Xingyong Hou Mansion like this, this heir apparent of the Xie family will be my mortal enemy, Zhang Yuhang. Once I have the chance, I will never let him go."
Zhang Yuhang's expression was gloomy, and his tone also showed that he and Xie Yongling would never give up.
"Old lady, Miss Shuxuan, just... left."
At this moment, Grandma Zhou came from outside the door and told everyone present the news.
Everyone present looked at Nanny Zhou in disbelief. They did not expect that Liu Shuxuan, who was so afraid of death, would actually have the courage to face death.
But they suddenly thought that it seemed that Grandma Zhou had been by their side ever since the Sun mother and daughter returned. You must know that Grandma Zhou was the old lady’s maid, and she was also the maidservant of the old lady in the Marquis’ Mansion. He is the most trustworthy person.
But no matter what they thought, after hearing this, the old lady just nodded lightly, "I understand."
Then he looked at everyone: "Now there is nothing to hide, Yuhang."
"Old lady, if you have anything to do, just give me your instructions."
Zhang Yuhang immediately responded.
"You are now employed in the Supervisory Office. Think of a way to spread the news that the elder and young lady of my Hou family have committed suicide. The sooner the better, the better. Only by letting everyone know the outcome can we avoid more rumors. Rumors continue to spread."
The old lady's words at this moment were extremely heavy and very certain.
Zhang Yuhang cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, old lady, I'll go right away and I will make sure this matter spreads as quickly as possible."
After saying this, Zhang Yuhang turned around and left.
"Ms. Liu, go and say hello to some of the relatives and friends who are usually close to our Hou Mansion. Although it is not honorable for my brother to leave, he is also an elder of our Hou Mansion, so he should be treated with the utmost courtesy.
The two of them have left. We should still give them a gift on this last journey. We can't let them go so lonely. "
Mrs. Liu also nodded without any sign of rejection.
Seeing that the arrangements were almost complete, the old lady said directly: "Okay, let's arrange everything properly and let's go." '
Everyone bowed their hands and left, each going about his or her own business.
Supervising Tiansi, Zhang Yuhang found Chu Yun immediately after arriving.
"What, that clan elder and Liu Shuxuan are dead?"
Facing Zhang Yu's request, Chu Yun looked at him in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face.
As a member of the Tiansi Supervisory Bureau, this kind of thing has almost become widespread now. It would be strange if he didn't know about it.
Zhang Yuhang said: "Why else would you be asked to spread such news? You have been here in Tiantiansi for a long time, so this little thing shouldn't trouble you, right?"
Chu Yun shook his head, "Of course there is no problem, but didn't you do this behind the scenes? Why are you stepping forward to solve this mess now? Don't tell me that you can't bear to let your grandpa and grandson do it. It’s a human tragedy, you are simply not a human being, you can even think of such damaging ideas.”
Zhang Yuhang faced Chu Yun's teasing, but he pretended not to hear it, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, and then said lightly: "You are slandering, it is obviously Xie Yongling who is not a son of a man, so I still I asked my third brother to go to Xie's Mansion and have a big fight with him, how come it turned out to be my arrangement."
Chu Yun was so angry that he laughed. If he didn't know this guy's background, he would have been deceived by him. "Okay, you can do whatever you want. You and I are brothers, and the Lord has also given orders. You want me to obey your arrangements, so there is no problem at all in this matter."
Seeing that the matter was done, Zhang Yuhang stood up and said thank you, and wanted to leave directly, but as soon as he reached the door, Chu Yun's voice came from behind: "I know you have endured a lot, but this world is not only darkness. You can do things by any means necessary, but I hope you can have a clear conscience.
Otherwise, it is a moment of joy, but as a brother, I don’t want your world to be dark forever, with no hope. If that is the case, you will be greeted by despair in the end. "
