When Yuan Hao saw her kneeling down again, he said, "Why are you so afraid? I am your father. We, father and daughter, can talk to each other casually. Don't be cautious and get up."
"yes."
Shen Wanyue stood up timidly and sat back down.
Yuan Hao looked at her face that resembled Mu Xuechu's, and couldn't help but sigh with pity: "I am sorry for your mother and have made her suffer for so many years. I will make it up to you mother and daughter in the future."
Shen Wanyue Congshan Ruliu said with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Father."
"well."
Yuan Hao was very satisfied with what she said about his father. He wanted to ask more about the matter between Shen Chi and Mu Xuechu, but he heard Zhou Quan's voice coming from outside: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xiao wants to see you."
Yuan Hao raised his eyebrows: "Let him come in."
Not long after, Xiao Chengyi walked in. He bowed to Yuan Hao and said, "Your Majesty, someone from the General's Palace just came to announce the funeral and said that my aunt unfortunately died last night. Please allow me to take the county owner back to attend the funeral."
Yuan Hao looked shocked when he heard this, and asked in a trembling voice: "Who did you say is dead?"
Xiao Chengyi lowered his head and replied: "It's my aunt, the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, Mu Xuechu."
Yuan Hao was shocked when he heard the words Mu Xuechu, and Shen Wanyue, who was sitting on the chair, stood up staggeringly, grabbed Xiao Chengyi's arm and asked: "My mother? This is impossible, how could my mother do this? die? "
Xiao Chengyi calmly pulled out his arm and said: "The person who announced the funeral is still in the temple. I am surprised that something happened suddenly. The old lady fainted when she learned about my aunt's death. There is no one to take care of her now. It’s a mess.”
Shen Wanyue fell to the ground, looking dazed and muttering: "Mother."
Yuan Hao was also quite surprised. He froze for a while before he came to his senses and asked in a deep voice: "How did she die?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "According to the person who reported the funeral, Sanchi Bailing committed suicide. There was no suicide note in the room, but I guess my aunt's death may have something to do with Brother Rui."
Yuan Hao frowned and looked at him: "Brother Rui? What does it have to do with him?"
"Your Majesty, you don't know. Brother Rui accidentally fell into the lake a few days ago. Although he was rescued, he may never wake up again because he drowned for too long.
My aunt blamed herself for this, blaming herself for not taking good care of Brother Rui. Since then, she has been taking care of Brother Rui without any clothes on, but her spirit is getting worse and worse, and she is also in a trance.
I think she heard about Shen Chi's assassination of His Majesty yesterday, and felt that Brother Rui might be deeply implicated, so she probably committed suicide."
Xiao Chengyi justified himself and gave Yuan Hao a reasonable explanation, but his move was actually to make suggestions for Yuan Hao and relieve Yuan Hao's anger.
If there is no reasonable explanation for Mu Xuechu's suicide, then the people will believe Shen Chi's words and think that His Majesty forced this miserable couple to death.
For the sake of his own face, even if Yuan Hao knew that Mu Xuechu died for Shen Chi, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and agree with Xiao Chengyi's words.
Sure enough, everything was as Xiao Chengyi expected, and Yuan Hao accepted his words.
"She is also stupid."
Yuan Hao sighed softly and waved his hand: "Go back and deal with her funeral!"
It has to be said that Xiao Chengyi, a young man who is smart and sharp, can always cater to his thoughts and always considers him. He left Chenchi's body intact and is now explaining Mu Xuechu's death.
This young man is a rare talent.
Xiao Chengyi thanked him and stood up and left.
Yuan Hao glanced at Shen Wanyue who was sitting on the ground, and all the sympathy and debt he had towards her before was now gone because of Mu Xuechu's death.
