It suddenly occurred to Yun Shang that she had forgotten to inform the Lord Hua Guo's mansion after she sent the letter to Ning Qian and Luo Qingyan. The Lady Hua Guo loved her so much that she couldn't accept the death of her granddaughter-in-law.
Xia Huanyu sighed slightly and said, "please don't be angry, your ladyship. Lady Rui's death hasn't been confirmed yet. The girl is very smart. She won't die so easily."
Lady Hua Guo stamped her crutch at his words, and fell into silence again.
But the seventh prince said, "after I knew the matter, I sent someone to look into the Qi Lan Town. The owner of the only Inn in the Qi Lan Town told me that Lady Rui stayed there for a night, he had a very deep memory because of her beautiful appearance. Lady Rui left an inn early on the day she was killed, and they didn't see each other afterwards. People in the town said that the next day after Lady Rui was killed, some people in the town inquired about Lady Rui's whereabouts in house to house, and also said that they said their master had been assassinated in the mountain half a day's distance from the Qi Lan Town, but she was nowhere to be found. I sent some people to the mountain to look for the body and traces. There are many traces of fighting in the mountain, but it seems that some people have cleaned the place, and no traces have been found, even the corpses."
Yun Shang couldn't help but frown at the words. She had heard that someone was looking for her in the name of her subordinate when she was waiting for Qian Yin to wake up from the coma in the Qi Lan Town, from house to house.
No one spoke in the hall. Yun Shang heard the sound of Lady Hua Guo's crutch falling heavily on the ground.
After a while, the Butler came back, out of breath. "Yes, we got it. The size was measured when Lady Rui made clothes and shoes for the last time." Then he handed the paper over to the eunuch.
As soon as he saw that, Liu Wenan took the paper from the butler and handed it to Xia Huanyu. After reading it, Xia Huanyu frowned and said, "5 feet high, 6 inches long..." Which was in accordance with what the coroners had said.
Yun Shang sneered coldly in her heart. Now she was sure that there must be spies among the people who served her.
After Xia Huanyu said that, nobody said a word in the hall. With a sigh, Xia Huanyu frowned and said, "well, let's prepare for the funeral."
Yun Shang raised her eyes and glanced around the hall. The seventh Prince frowned and didn't say anything. And Su Qi also had a sad look on his face, but a secret smile appeared on his lips. As for Lady Hua Guo, she was livid with rage. After a while, she suddenly stood up, but her body wobbled. After a while, she managed to stand firm. "I'm sorry, your majesty. I'm sorry but I have to leave now. " Then she turned around and left the meeting hall.
