Chapter 486: Winning Zhang's Family and Coming to Condolences
At the same time, the news that Zhang Zhenniang died of poisoning and died in prison had spread all over the world, and the Shen family was also involved in rumors.
Public opinion was directed at the Shen family. In order to retaliate against Zhang Zhenniang for testifying against Shen Yu, the Shen family had a grudge and poisoned Zhang Zhenniang.
The Shen family is really unlucky, no matter what, Zhang Zhenniang gave birth to a daughter for Shen Yu.
People also sympathized with the innocent child. They originally thought that the Empress Dowager took pity on the child and spared Zhang Zhenniang's life, but they did not expect that they could not escape death in the end.
How could the Shen family be so cruel? However, the Zhang family only quietly took away Zhang Zhenniang's body and did not cause any trouble to the Shen family.
The Zhang family is afraid of the Shen family, so they don't dare to cause trouble.
No one knows the attitude of the Zhang family. Yesterday, Aunt Wan personally delivered the child to the Zhang Mansion and handed it over to Mrs. Zhang.
At this time, the Zhang family also hung up their white sails.
In fact, contrary to etiquette, Zhang Zhenniang is already a member of the Shen family, and she should be a ghost of the Shen family when she dies.
Mrs. Zhang's eyes were already swollen from crying. If her daughter's body was sent to the Shen family, she was afraid that the Shen family would not let it go.
Zhang Yong also felt sorry for his daughter who suffered such a catastrophe, so he set up a mourning hall in Zhang's house for her.
Except for Zhang Zhenniang's brothers and sisters, no one came to Zhang's house to express condolences, so the door of Zhang's house was also closed.
It's not that everyone doesn't understand etiquette, it's just that everyone sympathizes with the child, not Zhang Zhenniang.
At this moment, someone suddenly came in front of Zhang's house.
The doorman didn’t recognize the person coming either. After the person handed over the name card, the doorman opened his eyes wide in shock. He only left the door ajar and ran towards the hall...
"Sir, Madam, we have guests. They are from Duke Chen's Palace and Prince Wei's Palace."
Princess Wei wore a veil on her face, Mrs. Chen Liu was also young, and the wife from the back house did not appear in public. The Zhang family's lintel was not high, so naturally there was no contact.
At this time, General Zhang, Mrs. Zhang and their children were tremblingly supported by their servants and rushed towards the gate.
Seeing Princess Wei and Mrs. Chen Liu, Zhang Yong and his wife were also stunned.
Therefore, Zhang Yong and his family members hurriedly saluted: "I'd like to see you, Princess Wei."
"General Zhang, there is no need to be polite. I have also heard about Zhang Zhenniang's misfortune, so I want to come and burn incense in front of her mourning hall." Princess Wei said warmly.
Zhang Yong was a little stunned and said: "Princess please, Mrs. Chen please."
Princess Wei and Mrs. Chen Liu were welcomed into the mourning hall, and they also offered incense in front of the mourning hall.
Mrs. Zhang had already lost her strength from crying, as if she would fall down if the wind blew, and she was about to salute.
Princess Wei quickly said: "Mrs. Zhang, I would like to express my condolences. We are all mothers. People with white hair give birth to people with black hair. When something happens to their children, it is only the mother who feels pain in her heart. There are rumors outside about the orphan girl Zhang Zhenniang left behind. Finally, The poor ones are the children."
Princess Wei ordered her servants to send gifts again, and also brought gifts to the child, saying: "These are the wishes of the Empress Dowager. She thought that by sparing the child and her mother's life, the two mother and daughter would meet one day. Come to think of it, after all, there is still a separation between yin and yang.”
Mrs. Zhang was in trouble and couldn't express her pain, and Princess Wei's words hit her heart.
All she could do was shed tears, knock out her teeth and swallow blood.
At this time, she hated the Shen family, but Zhang Yong was Shen Bi's subordinate and was promoted by Shen Bi, so they got married. Unexpectedly, he harmed his daughter and let her marry a beast. Zhang Yong didn't even dare to fart even after he died.
It was after receiving Mu Lingwei's letter that Princess Wei came to the Zhang Mansion to express her condolences. If this matter could be used to provoke discord between the Zhang family and the Shen family, the Shen family would lose another arm.
At this time, only Princess Wei is most suitable to come to the Zhang family to express condolences.
Shen Chen also came to Zhang's house to ask for the body, saying that Zhang Zhenniang and Shen Yu would be buried together, but Mrs. Zhang did not agree.
Shen Chen also said that they did not expect Zhang Zhenniang's death and put all the blame on Mu Lingwei. They also said that they suspected that Zhang Zhenniang's death was related to Princess Anyang...
So Zhang Yong had no idea for a while. His daughter often supported the Zhang family during her lifetime. She never said whether her relationship with Shen Yu was good or not. They didn't even know that her granddaughter was abused by her own grandmother.
All this was covered up very well by Zhang Zhenniang.
Zhang Yong was a martial artist, so he couldn't figure out why Princess Wei suddenly came. He also guessed that it might be the intention of the regent. After all, the regent was temporarily taking over the Ministry of War.
He is also a general who leads troops, and the regent may want to win over him.
He wondered if taking refuge with the regent would help him find out the true cause of his daughter's death.
He only dared to think in his heart and did not dare to say it out loud.

On the other side, Yan Qi brought Mu Lingwei to the east of the city.
The plaque on the door does not have the name Yan Mansion, but the words "Huang Mansion".
Yan Qi asked people to drive the carriage directly into Huang Mansion.
At this time, it was Boss Huang from Cuiyuxuan who came to greet them.
When Mu Lingwei saw him, she was slightly stunned, then smiled and said politely: "Boss Huang, we meet again."
"The common people have met the princess." Boss Huang said respectfully.
Mu Lingwei smiled slightly, knowing that Cuiyuxuan was not a simple person, and said: "I am a doctor and I am here to treat your master. Boss Huang does not need to be polite."
Huang Zushi was slightly stunned. It turned out that she had guessed that Cuiyuxuan was the property of the Yan family.
Mu Lingwei was brought into the wing room, which was filled with a strong smell of Chinese medicine.
Lying on the bed was a pale man, forty or fifty years old. Because he was seriously injured, he looked more than ten years older than his actual age.
He hanged himself with a century-old ginseng in his mouth and was in a semi-conscious state.
There is no trace of his shrewdness and ability as the helmsman of the Yan family. He seems to be just an old man who is sick and looks extremely kind.
"Father." Yan Qi came closer.
He shouted for a long time, but did not wake up Yan Ye. Yan Qi checked his breath again. He was still breathing, so he must have fallen asleep.
"Mr. Yan, please tell me about his situation first, such as how he was injured."
Therefore, Yan Qi did not hide anything and said: "More than two months ago..."
After he finished speaking, he added: "It was an arrow wound, but even after the arrow was pulled out, it still didn't heal. Instead, the injured area became more and more swollen. It may be that the arrow was poisoned and the remaining poison was not removed, so it never healed."
After hearing this, Mu Lingwei suddenly said: "I heard that Master Yan is a good person."
Yan Qi was slightly stunned again and said, "Doctor Mu also heard about my father?"
Mu Lingwei nodded: "I've heard that if it's Master Yan, I will do my best to save him, and I can also treat him for free."
He was surprised: "Why?"
"Just because he is more tolerant to the small businessmen who are running around for a living." She said: "My uncle is often favored by Master Yan, although Master Yan may not know him."
Yan Qi was a little surprised. He also asked about Boss Mu, who was a traveling trader.
He smiled politely: "My father sympathized with others, but some people did not pity him. So since my father was seriously injured, I have been hiding him. His life and death is also related to the fate of the entire Yan family."
Mu Lingwei heard something else, so she didn't ask anything else and said, "Let me check his wounds first."
