Zhang Hanyan, the biological sister of Rong Guogong, the adoptive mother of Emperor Chu Ren, and the grandmother of the current emperor Duanmukang.
After the death of Emperor Chu Ren, she was named Empress Dowager Huazhao. She was the most noble woman in the entire Western Chu, but she was also the woman Duanmuyan hated the most.
"Yan'er." Lin Chu gently brushed Duanmuyan's head: "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you."
"No." Duanmuyan shook his head and frowned: "I will deal with Zhang Hanyan by myself, Master, please don't interfere."
Lin Chu looked at her with a smile: "You think your master's courage is too small. I still don't pay attention to a mere empress dowager."
Compared with Tianyu, Xichu is nothing? Not to mention a self-righteous old woman!
"Master, don't you know?"
"Know what?"
Lin Chu lowered his eyes and stared at Duanmuyan, feeling ominous suddenly in his heart. The little girl's bright and round eyes kept flickering, hiding deep worries.
"Brother Zhi..."
Duanmuyan paused for a moment before speaking again: "He has already gone to Duke Rongguo's house to recognize his relatives. Duke Rongguo has reported to the Ministry of Household Affairs and will soon move brother Zhi's account from the Lin family to the Zhang family."
"What?"
Lin Chu's pupils shrank sharply, what is Rongguo's palace? It can't even compare to a toe of Lin's father. Lao Chen gave up on the Lin family and ran to the Zhang family to recognize his ancestors and return to his clan?
Crazy?
"You really don't know?" Duanmuyan looked at Lin Chu with some confusion: "This is strange. I thought there would be no secrets between you and Brother Zhi."
The speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. Neither she nor Lao Chen can be honest with each other. In the final analysis, it is because they cannot completely trust each other.
Lin Chu shook his head, not thinking about the inexplicable irritability in his heart. He looked at Duanmuyan and said calmly: "What are your plans for the prince-consort's funeral? But, are you going to be buried with your mother?"
"No."
Duanmuyan shook his head: "My father once said that if something unexpected happens to him one day, he will be sent back to his old house. He said that dust will return to dust and soil will return to soil. That is the place where the Hua family should exist. It shouldn't be
Even if what you get is taken by force, you will have to give it back one day."
Duanmuyan's eyes dimmed for a moment: "I didn't understand these words before and thought he was pretending to be noble. Now I know that what he said has always been true to his heart."
The ancestors of the Hua family were originally just a poor farmer, with food and clothing being a problem.
Just because Hua also climbed up to the eldest princess who protects the country, she became the so-called powerful person in the capital.
However, the Hua family's deep-rooted family spirit has never changed. After many years of wealth, they have only learned to plunder from the princess's mansion.
Due to his filial piety, Hua also had to obey Mrs. Hua's name and bring wealth to the clan. In fact, he was extremely reluctant in his heart.
Now that he is dead, he no longer has to worry about that family.
In addition, all the elite members of the Hua family died in Wangjiang Xiaozhu, and the Hua family line will decline rapidly. As he said, things taken by force must be returned one day.
It turned out that he had chosen the ending for the Hua family early on.
Lin Chu nodded: "That's fine."
"But you need to remember these points when you are buried. You are not allowed to erect a monument or a grave. Otherwise, I am afraid that he... will be uneasy under the spring."
Duanmuyan raised his head, with some doubts in his eyes, but he only said hello in a low voice. She was never a gentle woman, but she obeyed Lin Chu's words.
Lin Chu sighed, knowing that she might have misunderstood that he had resentment towards Hua Yi, so he raised his hand to straighten her clothes.
"After the death of the Prince Consort, the Hua family is bound to wither. Those people are used to sucking blood. Once the benefits are gone, how can they not feel resentful?"
