With a delicate smile, the rough guy bows down for the beauty

Chapter 233 The family letter is worth ten thousand gold

After returning home, it was already late.

Someone went to report to their parents, and the two sisters went back to their houses to rest.

Su Junning was always thinking about the incident that happened by accident today, feeling a little uneasy.

Seeing that her expression was not good, Nan Xu thought she was frightened, so she asked Yingmei to cook a bowl of soothing soup.

"Miss, drink this bowl of calming soup before going to bed. If you meet those people for no reason at night, don't sleep and have nightmares."

"Where did we go on the road that diverged today?" Su Junning took the bowl and asked.

Nan Xu frowned, "My servant heard from the coachman that it was going to the mass graves before, and the ones that the lady saw today were not clean, so I'm afraid they were going to be sent there."

It is not uncommon nowadays for slaves to die in any family, no body to be collected, or beggars on the street who died of illness, etc., are usually thrown into mass graves.

But when Su Junning heard that it was a mass grave, her eyes became more thoughtful.

After drinking the soothing soup, he ordered in a low voice.

"In the past few days, I have been watching some news from outside, especially the affairs of the royal family. There are no details. As long as it comes out, I will know."

Nan Xu was a little strange, but still responded neatly.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, when Su Junning was having breakfast, Jichun brought back the news.

"Miss, Princess Chen died of illness. It is said that it happened in the early hours of this morning. The Zichen Palace is already building a mourning hall."

Su Junning paused holding the spoon, frowning slightly.

"Apart from Princess Chen, are there any other royal family members who have business?"

"No, right now Princess Chen is dying of illness."

Jichun shook his head.

"Okay, I see, you guys go out, it's enough for Nanxu to serve you." Su Junning lowered her eyes and continued to drink porridge.

But Nan Xu also saw that she had something to tell her alone, so after closing the door, she took the initiative to ask.

"Miss, do you think this matter is strange?"

Su Junning nodded, recalling the scene of last night in her mind.

"The female corpse we ran into last night, I vaguely heard that when the two servants carried the corpse to the car, they seemed to mention the palace, the empress, and so on. Today, there is news that Princess Chen died of illness. Is this true? What a coincidence?"

Hearing what she said, Nan Xu's expression also changed.

"Miss, don't you think that the female corpse last night is Princess Chen? Well, how is this possible, how could a dignified princess be thrown into a mass grave?"

"Yes or no, it's just my guess." Su Junning ate a spoonful of porridge and said slowly, "The royal water is deep, and everything is possible. I remember that Princess Chen suddenly complained of illness. It's time for the grandson."

Nan Xu nodded, "It was at that time that King Jin and the Seventh Prince got married this time, and Princess Chen said she was sick and did not attend. I think it was true that she was sick and couldn't get up. Otherwise, she would have died for more than a month."

When talking about this, Nan Xu was still a little bit embarrassed.

Su Junning lowered her eyes, "Thinking about it this way, Princess Chen's illness is a coincidence, and it's also a coincidence that she died. There are so many coincidences in the world. Sometimes, the impossible may be the truth."

Hearing these words, Nan Xu couldn't help but shuddered, and quickly prepared food for Su Junning.

"Miss, don't talk about it. It's so scary in the early morning. After all, it's an outside matter and has nothing to do with us."

"Look how scared you are." Su Junning just smiled, "I don't want to say anything."

After breakfast, the Cui family sent someone to pass on the message, telling them to change into plain clothes and go to Chen Wang's mansion together to express their condolences.

Of course, a noble family like Chenwang's Mansion cannot be offended, etiquette must be fulfilled.

Led by Su Yi, the whole family soon went to the Prince Chen's Mansion.

White hangings were hung everywhere in the palace, and in the mourning hall, a black coffin was placed in the center, and the young son was being coaxed by the wet nurse to kneel on the ground and burn paper money.

But Su Junning watched, there was no trace of sadness on the little prince's face, only bewilderment, curiosity, and a little impatience.

This can't help but make people strange.

It stands to reason that children are the most clingy to their mothers. Even though Yin Shi has been ill for so long and may not be able to take care of the children herself, she should always meet each other frequently. The child doesn't seem to be affected at all.

Even if he is a little younger, but at the age of four, he should know people.

But Su Junning didn't have a chance to think and observe, so she was dragged by Cui to the backyard.

Come here, you have to eat a funeral banquet before you can leave.

As soon as she entered the women's seat in the backyard, Su Junning saw Xu Sini who was helping to greet the guests.

At that time Xu Sini heard the movement at the door and was about to come up to speak, when she turned around and saw Su Junning, her complexion also turned cold quickly.

"My wife greets the Seventh Prince and Concubine." Cui spoke first and saluted respectfully.

Su Junning closed her eyes, and together with Su Wanyin, bowed to her in a polite manner.

Today was at the Prince Chen's Mansion, and there was a funeral, Xu Sini also knew it was not the time to find fault, so she did not intentionally make things difficult.

Just wave your hand and let people pass by without courtesy.

It's just that when the person concerned doesn't want to be busy, there are some people who can't stay idle.

Li Lingxi, who was busy with the work at hand, came over at this moment, and happened to see this scene, so she leaned forward and deliberately said beside Xu Sini.

"Yo, my brother and sister are married now, and they are much more tolerant. In the past, I and the fourth miss of the Su family had a quarrel over a man, but now we meet each other, and we are still amiable."

The two were not on good terms in the first place, but now because of their marriage, they each helped their husbands, so naturally they became more antagonistic.

However, Li Lingxi has a flamboyant and domineering personality, Xu Sini has suffered a lot and has already calmed down a lot, so she won't listen to her instigation at this moment.

He glanced at her lightly.

"Third sister-in-law has time to talk to me about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds here, so why don't you spend some time in taking good care of Su's side concubine's baby, so that Brother Sanhuang can be happy with his son when he returns from victory."

When mentioning Su Zhiyi's pregnancy, Li Lingxi's face immediately changed.

With a cold snort, he shook his sleeves and left.

Not far away, Su Junning, who had already sat down at the table, took all this into consideration silently, and couldn't help but sigh.

Why do women make things difficult for women?

After Princess Chen's funeral was over, the city of Bianjing was quiet for a while.

The summer sun was so vicious that Su Junning didn't dare to go out at all, and spent all day lounging around in the mansion with Su Wanyin.

The more idle people are, the more they think about things in their minds. Whenever they calm down, they can't help but think about what Shen Qianwei is doing at this time, and wonder what the situation in the western region is like now.

In the era of slow news, even if it is urgent to send a letter from the western region, it will take about ten days. For ordinary letters and materials, it can be as fast as twenty days or as slow as a month. I don’t know the letter. Can he receive it.

The days went by day by day, and finally, in Su Junning's expectation, two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the servants of the Shen family delivered a brocade box.

"Madam said, our young master entrusted someone to bring it back to you, miss, please keep it safe." The boy who delivered the things said with a smile.

Su Junning was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Nan Xu to give him money, and opened the box in the hall without thinking about going back to the room.

Inside is a hairpin carved from wood, with a letter pressed under the hairpin.

Seeing the rough appearance of the hairpin, Su Junning knew that it must have been carved by Shen Qianwei herself, and the corners of her lips could not help but curl up slightly.

At this time, I know what it is, the beacon fire lasts for three months, and the family letter is worth ten thousand gold.
