Why her mother only has him in her heart and has never loved Shen Chi is all lies.
If you didn't love Shenchi so deeply, why would you commit suicide for him and leave your children behind?
Yuan Hao felt unwilling to give in, but what's the use of being unwilling to give in when everyone is dead?
He didn't want to see Shen Wanyue's face that looked like Mu Xuechu's, and her tone was no longer as kind as before: "You can go too, she is your mother after all, give her a good last journey for me."
Shen Wanyue came back to her senses, said yes with red eyes, and retreated tremblingly.
Just as soon as she left, Yuan Hao threw the tea cup in front of him, gritted his teeth and murmured: "You would rather die than be my concubine. What good is he?"
It's a pity that no one can answer this question for him.
...
After Xiao Chengyi received the imperial edict, he left Fahua Temple with Mu Yun'an.
Mu Yun'an has not shed any tears since she learned of her aunt's death. She just said nothing with her eyes red, feeling deep sorrow in her heart.
The carriage galloped all the way towards the capital.
Xiao Chengyi sat in the carriage and looked at Mu Yunan's dazed look. He couldn't help it. He reached out and held her in his arms and whispered: "Don't be sad, your aunt is not dead."
Mu Yun'an was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and looked at him in confusion.
Xiao Chengyi stroked her red eyes and said, "It was my idea. Your aunt did hang herself last night, but she was saved by Xuandu."
After hearing this, Mu Yun'an became even more confused: "Then why did the people in the house come to report the funeral?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "If your aunt does not die, she will not be able to escape the fate of entering the palace. Your Majesty will not let her go, so I asked Xuan Du to spread the news of your aunt's death with falsehoods."
Mu Yun'an understood what he meant, she sniffed and said, "So that's it, I thought my aunt was really dead."
She lay in Xiao Chengyi's arms and sobbed a few times, and asked with some worry: "But what should I do if my aunt is bent on seeking death?"
No one can save someone who wants to die.
After Shen Chi died, her aunt would naturally not live alone. It would be better if there was a child between them as a tie, but both of her aunt's children are His Majesty's.
Xiao Chengyi patted her back gently and said: "No, you believe me, your aunt will never commit suicide again, she will live well.
It’s just that when we return to the house later, you must not expose the secret, we have to hold a grand funeral for your aunt so that everyone will believe that she is dead, do you understand?"
Mu Yun'an nodded, and soon the carriage returned to the capital. When they arrived at the door of the General's Mansion, they saw that the door had been hung with white cloth and spiritual flags.
There were many people watching the excitement in front of the mansion.
After Mu Yunan got out of the car, she cried sadly and shouted: "Auntie."
The servants of the house were all dressed in mourning clothes and came out to welcome him. For a while, everyone burst into tears in front of the door. The sad scene made the people watching the excitement unable to hold back their tears.
Just when Mu Yun'an was exhausted from crying, another carriage stopped.
Shen Wanyue got out of the car and looked at the spiritual flags hung at the General's Mansion. She cried and called her mother and was about to go in. Unexpectedly, she heard Xiao Chengyi say: "Stop her!"
Then the guards of the General's Mansion stopped Shen Wanyue.
Shen Wanyue looked at Xiao Chengyi with a surprised look on her face and asked, "Why don't you let me in?"
Xiao Chengyi folded his hands and bowed respectfully: "Princess Kangle has a distinguished status. You are now a member of the royal family. It is not appropriate to come to pay homage to my Mu family. Princess, please go back!"
