Prince please enthrone

Chapter 178 'Surprises' again and again

"No, no," the housekeeper explained bravely, "It's... Aunt Hong, when she was found in the house this morning, she was already... dead."

"What!" Ye Lan's eyes darkened, and she almost fainted.

"Quick! Help me to her yard, I want to see her for the last time!"

When Ye Lan arrived with the support of the housekeeper, she happened to meet Mrs. Zhen who had heard the news.

After hearing the news of Hong Ling's murder, Mrs. Zhen was overjoyed at first, and then puzzled.

She hasn't done anything yet, who would be so kind to help her get rid of Hong Ling, a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh?

After seeing Hong Ling's tragic situation, the butler immediately ran to Ye Lan, and did not report Zhen's discovery of Zhen's jade pendant in Hong Ling's hands in time.

So when Zhen saw Ye Lan, she pretended to ask, "Master, what's the matter? What happened to Hong Ling?"

Even an ant in the Ye Mansion knew that because Hong Ling seduced Ye Lan and Ye Huaizhuo successively, Zhen Shi hated Hong Ling to the core. Advertised her beautiful image of caring about Hong Ling.

Unexpectedly, Ye Lan didn't even look at her, and walked towards Hong Ling without looking back, and kept shouting as if she was summoning a soul; "Ling'er... my Ling'er... ..."

Zhen's face immediately turned as black as charcoal.

She stared at Ye Lan's distraught back, thinking viciously, that little Lang Hoof died well and wonderfully!Dead croak!
It also prevents this old shameless person from disgusting himself with her in the future.

Zhen shook her handkerchief and followed into the courtyard gate.

There was wailing in the courtyard, and the servants knelt all over the ground.

As soon as Ye Lan entered the room, seeing Hong Ling dying on the bed, her legs went limp, and then she staggered towards her, hugged Hong Ling's already stiff and cold body and began to cry and cry:
"Hong Ling...my Ling'er! You died so miserable..."

He completely lost the usual majestic appearance of the prime minister, as if he had really lost his most beloved woman.

The housekeeper trembled at the side and said, "Old, master, look what is in Aunt Hong's hand... We saw it as soon as we came in, but no matter how hard we try to break Aunt Hong's hand, we just can't get it out..."

Ye Lan cried for a while, followed the butler's reminder with tears in her eyes.

Sure enough, Hong Ling held something in her right hand, which looked familiar, Ye Lan went to get it, but Hong Ling held the thing tightly, and unexpectedly couldn't take it out for a while.

"How could this be..." Ye Lan woke up. There are two possibilities for people to hold something so tightly before they die. One is that this thing is very important, and the important life can not be lost.

The second is... This is the physical evidence left by the murderer when he committed the crime!
Ye Lan immediately wiped away her tears and worked together with the butler to finally pull out the jade pendant that was as big as a palm.

Seeing the whole appearance of this blood-stained jade pendant, Ye Lan's heart sank.

This is... Hetian jade!He will not admit it wrong, this is the piece of Hetian jade that Mrs. Zhen has worn on her body for many years and has never taken it off!
He remembered that this piece of jade was passed to her by Zhen's mother. Zhen loved it very much and wanted to keep it and pass it on to her next eldest daughter-in-law.

But, but, why did this piece of jade appear in Hong Ling's hands? !

Coincidentally, at this moment, Mrs. Zhen opened the curtain and entered the room, and saw the jade pendant in Ye Lan's hand for the first time, and exclaimed, "Why is my jade pendant in your hand!"

She also said, why did she miss the jade pendant after going out for a trip, and sent many servants to look for it, but of course they couldn't find it. Unexpectedly, the jade pendant was stolen by Ye Lan!
When did he take away his jade pendant?
Zhen Shi was still confused, when suddenly, the jade pendant was raised high and smashed towards her face in a thunderous manner.

Ye Lan jumped in anger, pointed at her and opened her mouth to scold: "You poisonous woman! I knew it... I knew it was you who killed Hong Ling!"

what?

No one had time to react, the palm-sized jade pendant smashed straight on Zhen Shi's face with the prime minister's anger and hatred.

It hurts, but it's not just the pain on the face.

Zhen Shi was stunned, she never dreamed that Ye Lan not only threw things at her, but also dared to yell at her in front of so many servants.

Heh, heh... What is the wife of the prime minister, what is the head of the house, at this moment, she, Zhen Shi, loses all face!

For the sake of Ye Mansion's reputation, Ye Lan still didn't let Hong Ling's death alarm others, even the government.

But after Hong Ling's death, he not only promoted Hong Ling as his wife, but also recorded her name in the family tree, buried her in the Ye family's cemetery, and buried her with the Ye family's ancestors.

Zhenshi...what can I do?

She was so angry that she wanted to make a big fuss, so that everyone could accuse Ye Lan of being a heartless person!But Ye Lan looked at her as if she was looking at a dead person, which made her dare not make trouble even if she wanted to.

Just wait, for all the humiliation she suffered today, tomorrow, she will definitely get it back thousands of times!
And what she has to face is not only the eccentricity of her husband, but also the estrangement of her son.

After hearing the news of Hong Ling's death, Ye Huaizhuo was completely depressed, and drank his sorrows all day long, making himself a man, a ghost, and even his studies.

Zhen's mouth was frothing anxiously, but no matter how she explained to her son that she really didn't kill the man herself, all she got was ridicule and sneer from her son.

Even Ye Ruoxu is deliberately avoiding her and trying to please Ye Lan. After all, the person who really controls the family is Ye Lan, the head of the family.

And just when the Zhen family was almost surrounded by enemies, the emperor issued an order to go to the mountain to escape the summer heat. Ye Lan did not hesitate to ask to accompany him. The one who went with him was Ye Mingjun's mother, Aunt Tong, Tong family.

The person in charge of the housekeeper became the third aunt Wu who was released exceptionally, and Zhen's right to be a housekeeper was deprived.

The reason is: the eldest lady Zhen's heart is vicious, and she is not suitable for the post of housekeeper for the time being, so she ordered Zhen to contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors, and make a decision after repenting.

decide?

Zhenshi knew in her heart that this time, Ye Lan had made up her mind to suppress her to the end, and she would never stand up again.

Zhen Shi has indeed done a lot of bad things, but she will not admit to the bad things she has done, and how can she be willing to let people put shit on her head for the bad things she hasn't done?

She thought, if she found the real murderer and cleared herself of her grievances, at least she would take back the housekeeping power from that bitch Wu.

She even thought of the day when the jade pendant was lost, when the child bumped into her on the street.

Unfortunately, when she sent someone to look for it again, the child had long since disappeared, and there was no way of knowing where he had gone after he stole the jade pendant.

But she knew that someone must have plotted against her behind her back!
It's best not to let her find this person, otherwise, she will peel off his skin and eat his flesh raw!
Just when Mrs. Zhen cursed the black hand behind the scenes viciously for eighteen generations, the door curtain was lifted, and the confidant maid rushed in, and said:
"Ma'am, I'm sorry, something happened to the second young master's restaurant!"
