Chapter 982: Chapter 829: Ruthless and Resolute

"What, Princess Consort Ma is dead?!"

Daohua’s face was filled with shock as she looked at Wang Manman, who had hurriedly run into the room. She was so surprised that the account book fell out of her hands.

Wang Manman quickly nodded, "The person who came back to report was the butler nanny from Princess Consort’s side, so there’s no mistake."

Daohua immediately asked, "How did she die?"

Wang Manman: "The butler nanny said the Princess Consort accidentally fell from a stone staircase tens of meters high while offering incense at the temple, and died on the spot."

"Madam was so scared she fainted right there. Luckily, the Duchess of the Wei Kingdom was also there to offer incense, and she took care of her. Madam didn’t suffer any harm, but still, it caused some stress to the baby."

"The Prince has already taken people to the temple. It won’t be long before they bring back the Princess Consort and Madam."

Daohua was stunned for quite a while before she could digest the news of Princess Consort Ma’s death.

Wang Manman looked at Daohua, "Miss, now that the Princess Consort is dead, should we also prepare the Pingxi Hall?"

Daohua let out a breath, "You go prepare it."

Once Wang Manman left, Daohua frowned deeply.

She couldn’t believe that Princess Consort Ma would be so careless to fall from the stairs to her death. She had a whole bunch of maids and old women around her.

Was it Luo Qiong’s doing?

Just as Daohua was lost in her thoughts, Xiao Yeyang returned.

Upon seeing him, Daohua hurriedly went to greet him, "Princess Consort Ma is dead, do you know?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded his head.

Daohua grabbed Xiao Yeyang, "How did she die? The butler nanny who came back to report said she fell down the stairs. I don’t believe this explanation."

Xiao Yeyang sneered, "This Luo Qiong is quite something, I underestimated her before," he said before taking a drink of tea, then continued, "It was Xiao Yechen who did it."

Daohua: "Xiao Yechen? Is the man Luo Qiong had an affair with really the son of the eighth Prince?"

Xiao Yeyang nodded.

Daohua fell silent for a moment before asking, "Why would Xiao Yechen want to kill Princess Consort Ma? Did she catch him and Luo Qiong in a secret meeting at the temple?"

Xiao Yeyang sat down with Daohua, "Princess Consort Ma was suspicious of the child in Luo Qiong’s belly. She brought a midwife today to verify Luo Qiong’s pregnancy period."

"Luo Qiong managed to deceive even you. How could she possibly fool the experienced midwife? Once Princess Consort Ma knew the truth, do you think Xiao Yechen would let her live?"

Daohua noticed the sweat on Xiao Yeyang’s forehead and quickly wiped it away with a handkerchief, "Why are you sweating so much?"

Xiao Yeyang: "Xiao Yechen killed Princess Consort Ma. I got excited and made some noise. Xiao Yechen realized someone was watching him, and he immediately fled. I chased him for quite a while, but in the end, due to being held up by two dead soldiers, I let Xiao Yechen escape."

Daohua: "Doesn’t that mean Xiao Yechen knows you are investigating him?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head, "I was dressed in Hidden Guard attire, with my face covered."

Daohua fell silent, then her voice suddenly rose a few notches, "Xiao Yechen fled after the incident, so did Luo Qiong arrange everything about Princess Consort Ma afterwards?"

Xiao Yeyang sneered, "That’s why I say I underestimated her."

Seeing her own mother dead in front of her, she still managed to jump right into covering up the truth. Regardless of how she deceived the maids and old women, just her mindset alone is not something ordinary people can compare with.

Daohua fully agreed, "Indeed, it seems I need to be cautious around her in the future." She paused, "What do you think was Xiao Yechen’s purpose in returning to the capital?"

Xiao Yeyang narrowed his eyes, "That’s what I want to know, too. Xiao Yechen had barely saved his own life; he wouldn’t return to the capital without reason."

Daohua: "Could he be coming back to take revenge for the eighth Prince?"

Xiao Yeyang shook his head, "No, if he wanted revenge, he would not have been so calm these past months. He must have some other purpose for his return to the capital."

At that moment, Wang Manman walked into the room, "Miss, Sir, the Prince has brought back the Princess Consort and Madam to the Prince Residence."

Daohua and Xiao Yeyang exchanged a glance, got up, changed into plain clothes, and went together to Pingxi Hall.

...

After the news of Princess Consort Ma’s death returned to the Prince Residence, the butlers immediately started preparing the residence. Now, white cloth hung in every courtyard of the Prince Residence.

Soon, Wang Manman returned and whispered to Daohua, "First Madam has suffered a miscarriage scare, and the Prince has asked her to lie down in the room, with the Duchess accompanying her." _{frёewebnoѵēl.com}
