My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Losing My Mind

Translator: 549690339

For a time, Wang Shiwu’s mother’s chastity for Chu Silang became a good story, and most of them praised her chastity. When the Chu family mentioned Fifteenth Wang, each of them was full of praise. The enmity between him and the Wang Clan had disappeared completely, as if nothing had happened.

Although the Wang family was dissatisfied, their daughter had threatened them with her death, so they could only accept it.

On the other hand, Fifteen’s mother’s brother and sister-in-law had some objections. It was true that the Wang family was a great clan, but they were only a side branch. Their family business was huge, and the clan could not take care of them in all aspects. Wang Shiwu’s mother’s father was the Crown Prince’s servant, so he didn’t have much wealth. Over the years, his family’s property was limited, so he wasn’t very rich.

When it came to benefits, people would inevitably think too much.

In this aspect, the Chu family had done it beautifully. Fifteenth Wang’s mother had kept her chastity for Chu Silang and vowed not to marry for life. She had even thought about adopting a son in the future. He would be the Chu family’s daughter-in-law. Other than the betrothal gifts that were still kept by Fifteenth Mother Wang, the matriarch of the Chu family, Madam Wang, also secretly gave her a good manor and three thousand taels of silver as a supplement.

Moreover, she had made it clear to her sons beforehand that if she died in the future, the branch of the eldest branch would be split up, and Chu Silang’s branch would be included.

Chu Silang was dead, but there was still Wang Shiwu’s mother. She was from the fourth branch.

Madam Chu had always been a man of her word, and her sons were filial. There was no one who did not agree. No matter what, she had to leave a legacy for Fourth Sister so that she could have a successor in the future. Moreover, Fifteenth Mother Wang was a reasonable person, so they could not stir things up. If the adopted son was chosen from their families, wouldn’t everything belong to the Chu family in the end?

It could be considered that Wang Shiwu’s mother had thought things through.

Logically speaking, a widow should stay in her maiden family so that she could remarry in the future without involving the man’s family. However, Fifteen’s mother’s situation was different. She had to stay with Chu Silang for the rest of her life. Therefore, after discussion, the two families decided that if Fifteen’s mother wanted to stay with her mother, she could stay with her. If she wanted to adopt the child or if her family was in trouble, she could move to the Chu family at any time. The fourth household would always be hers.

Even the Wang Clan couldn’t find any reason to make such arrangements.

Since they couldn’t get a share of the Wang family’s property, the few brothers and sisters-in-law also stopped. Madam Yuan of the Wang family wanted to keep her daughter for a few more years. She wanted to live freely in her in-law’s house, and it was a in-law’s house without a husband.

The matter of Wang Shiwu’s mother had come to an end, and the lawsuit between the Chu family and the owners of the cow and dog had officially come to an end. The Chu family refused to compensate, and the owner of the cow was sentenced to behead the supervisor, while the owner of the dog was sentenced to exile.

From Chu Silang’s death to Wang Shiwu’s determination to become a widow, the Chu family’s lawsuit had come to an end. An entire month had passed, and the big show had come to an end. However, Emperor Yuheng was still in the middle of the show. Noble Consort Liu’s corpse was still in the Eternal Harmony Palace, and Emperor Epsilon would run over and cry every day.

It was strange to talk about this matter. According to Emperor Yu Heng, the heavens had pitied her, and her true feelings touched the heavens and earth. However, Imperial Consort Liu’s corpse did not rot at all. She still looked the same as she did when she died.

It was just that Noble Consort Liu had originally died from poisoning. Her seven orifices were bleeding, and she died with grievances. Although she had her eyes closed, her purplish face was really not good-looking. Wei Desheng felt nervous when he got close to her, but Emperor Yuheng seemed to be blind. He could not see mountains or water. It was as if he was still looking at the beauty of Noble Consort Liu when she was alive. If he did not make himself cry every day, it would be a waste of time.

Emperor Epsilon was infatuated, but the ministers were not satisfied. It had been almost 49 days. If he still did not come out, would he have to wait for 81 days?

It’s just a noble consort. If you stop for such a long time, how long will you stop if the Empress dies in the future?

If the time was too short, it wouldn’t be worthy of his name. If it was too long, would he still be able to stay in the palace? He could just change it to a morgue.

The courtiers were furious, and the memorials fell into Taiji Palace like snowflakes. The emperor could be sad, but it would not do if the grief affected the government and etiquette.

Not only were the courtiers unhappy, but even the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager in the rear palace could not bear it anymore. They all requested that Noble Consort Liu’s funeral be carried out early.

In fact, there was a tradition in Daliang that people had to summon their souls after they died. The so-called summoning was to stand on the roof with a banner and shout the name of the deceased. However, their Emperor was the one who cried when the eunuchs above were shouting. The eunuch did not know what was going on, but he was so frightened that he lost his balance and fell off the roof, breaking half of his leg.

Empress Dowager Pan almost died of anger when she heard this. She didn’t know if her dead son was as filial as her!

Previously, she had thought that her son had lost his beloved concubine and was inevitably sad. It would be fine if it was in the past and she would let him do as he pleased. Who knew that there would be no end to it. It was already the wrath of heaven and the resentment of men.

As the courtiers were in a state of turmoil and the harem was filled with complaints, Empress Dowager Pan rose up for the first time and called Emperor Yu Heng over to scold him. She was really afraid that this guy would go crazy. It was only a month until the new year. It would not be good if there was a dead person in the palace during the new year, right?

Who was this?

Emperor Yu Heng appeared to be fine and had a good attitude when he admitted his mistake, but he turned around and did nothing.

In the end, it was already halfway through the twelfth lunar month when Pan Shuo returned to Jiankang. The tomb he built for the imperial concubine took nearly three months before it was finally completed.

Emperor Yuheng was reluctant to part with Liu Guifei’s funeral.

On the day of the funeral, he ordered the concubines and courtiers to dress up in plain clothes and weep for the funeral.

It was like a farce, but it was able to send Concubine Liu away. It was an order from a crazy emperor. Countless lessons in history told people that they could reason with a wise ruler and make a fuss. It was best to listen to an emperor who had already lost his mind, because one did not know when his madness would hit you. The courtiers gave in and accompanied the emperor all the way to Longshan, the Fengshui treasure land that the emperor had originally chosen for himself.

Who knew that before he died, Noble Consort Liu died, so this place was given to his beloved concubine.

Emperor Yu Heng cried uncontrollably. In the end, it was the Prince of Huaiyang who relied on his flesh to carry the Emperor back to the palace.

Before he left, he even went to Jiaofang Palace.

Empress Wang did not change into plain clothes like the concubines, but she was not as beautiful as before. She avoided the emperor’s taboos and felt humiliated.

The Prince of Huaiyang briefly explained the schedule of the funeral, and finally raised his teacup and took a sip, asking the Empress to dismiss the irrelevant people.

Only when there were only a few trusted aides left in the hall did Prince Huaiyang raise his eyelids.”Sister-in-law, we’re family. There are some things that I have to hide. The cake shop where Concubine Liu was eaten to death…Some of them said,” He’s dead. I’ve erased everything that I can and shouldn’t say.””

“However, as long as you do something, there will always be traces left behind.”

“Please tell nephew, Crown Prince, this matter is unusual. If brother finds out, I’m afraid none of us will be able to cover for it. The people working around him should be cleared so that they wouldn’t give themselves away in the future..”
