Chapter 287: The Daughter of a Minor Official Whose Family Was Destroyed by Someone (3)
"You, you, you... is it you?"
He took several deep breaths, his eyes widened, his chest heaving, and he looked like he would die at any moment.
Shuangshuang smiled and told him the correct answer.
"That's right! It's me!"
"Let... be bold!"
"How dare you!
Are you Chen family members as outrageous and disgusting?
This is also a lesson for you!
Remember in your next life, never underestimate anyone.
Even an ant has the right to live!
When you treat others as fools, others will treat you as a fool in return."
You you you...how dare you! "
Both of them gnashed their teeth and said, "Why wouldn't I dare? If I don't dare, you will get this retribution?"
Chen Yunsheng was so angry that he stretched his neck and shouted, "Come... someone come!"
Unfortunately, due to lack of strength, the sound was stuck in his throat. Shuangshuang saw that he was still angry and wanted to make trouble.
He was so angry that he used his spiritual sense to sever all his heart meridians. Then he spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards, officially dead.
After a long while, Shuangshuang finally started to cry loudly in sorrow.
"Someone come! Someone come quickly! Something's happened to the Second Master!"
Servants immediately ran in from outside, including the court doctor who had been guarding the next room.
The court doctor hurriedly took Chen Yunsheng's pulse, but he couldn't find it no matter how hard he tried. He was so scared that he fell to the ground.
"Mrs. Er Er, the Second Master…"
"What's wrong with him? Go get him some medicine!"
The court doctor shook his head and said, "Second Madam, please accept my condolences. My son is gone."
Shuangshuang's eyes rolled back and she fell down.
Next, the Prince of Leling’s Mansion held the funeral of the second master Chen Yunsheng.
With the foreshadowing from the imperial physician, the prince and princess were mentally prepared, so they both cried until they fainted.
Every time he fainted, the mourners would sigh.
"This Chen Yunsheng really married a wife who values love and friendship.
It's a pity that he was such a coward that he lost his life for such a shabby man."
When the Yan family received the letter and came to pay their respects, they were all heartbroken when they saw Shuangshuang's emaciated appearance.
However, due to the power of the palace, they could not bring themselves to take Shuangshuang back and remarry her.
Instead, Shuangshuang shook her head firmly at them.
"Don't worry! I'm fine. Even for the sake of the child, I will take good care of myself."
In the following days, Shuangshuang closed the door tightly, hid in the yard with her children to observe mourning, and shut out all the disturbances outside.
Because the princess did not like Shuangshuang's status as a widow, she directly ordered that Shuangshuang should not go to pay her respects or visit her in the mornings and evenings.
Shuangshuang is happy to have some free time, so as long as the main courtyard doesn't come to see her, she will never go over to show her presence.
But unexpectedly, it happened not long after Chen Yunsheng’s 47th day of death.
On this day, the housekeeper of the princess's courtyard suddenly came to Xuezhu Courtyard.
Unlike his usual sideways glances at people, this time he was actually very respectful, with a smile on his face.
"This old servant pays his respects to the Second Madam."
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it, please stand up, mom.
I wonder if Mom came here to ask for instructions from the Princess?"
"Second Madam is truly as foresighted as a god. It is indeed the Princess who sent this servant here. Please, Second Madam, come over."
Both of them were surprised, "But I..."
"It's okay. The princess said that we are all family, so why should we be so taboo about such things?"
Shuangshuang went to pay her respects to the princess in the morning, and the princess suddenly held Shuangshuang's hand very intimately.
He also had a rare smile on his face, instead of the stern look he had before.
Shuangshuang was puzzled and asked Xiaojuzi silently in her heart.
"What's wrong with her? Every time she came here, she acted like I was the jinx to her son, and she never looked happy."
Little Orange was very carefree and didn't feel guilty at all about telling Shuangshuang in advance.
"You said she suddenly smiled at you, what good could come of that?
There's an old saying, "If someone shows kindness without any reason, he's either a traitor or a thief. Just be careful."
Shuangshuang listened to Xiaojuzi chattering on for a long time, but he didn't get to the point.
He interrupted impatiently, "Alright, alright, just tell me why."
"Why? She's after your son!"
Just at this moment, the princess and the prince's wife looked at each other, and the princess's smile became even brighter.
"Second daughter-in-law, mother wants to ask you for something."
"Mother, you are being too serious.
We are all family, so just say whatever you want to say.
What are you talking about asking for help or not?"
"I knew you were a good person, but it was that evil creature in my family who didn't know how to cherish you."
They just looked at her quietly without saying anything, letting her talk.
Seeing that Shuangshuang did not answer, the princess had to continue speaking after a while.
“Oh, that’s it!
You also know that your eldest brother and his wife have been married for so many years, but they have never had a son or a daughter.
Therefore, I would like to adopt your child to your eldest sister-in-law. She will then be the eldest son and grandson of the Chen family and inherit the royal family business. What do you think?"
When Shuangshuang heard this, she immediately picked up the child standing aside.
Holding her tightly in his arms, he said, "Mother! What do you think of your daughter-in-law?
You also know that your daughter-in-law only gave birth to this one son, but if she adopted him to the Crown Prince's wife.
What about the daughter-in-law?
What about our Second Master's affairs after his death?"
The princess was furious when she saw that Shuangshuang, who was usually honest and never cared about the affairs of the mansion, dared to refuse her proposal.
"You're confused! Even though he was adopted by your eldest brother and his wife, he's still your son!
From now on, when we burn incense in the ancestral hall, your share will certainly not be missing!"
Shuangshuang was stubborn, looking very confident because she had a son, and kept shaking her head.
"Mother, please don't treat your daughter-in-law like a fool!
If he is really adopted by them, he will be their son in the family tree from now on!
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess want to adopt a child. There are so many members of the Chen family, why do they have to snatch my child away? "
The princess became even angrier, but she still controlled her temper and tried to persuade him kindly.
"But you also have to know that if your elder brother and his wife really adopted a child from the royal family, he would be the prince of the palace.
Are you willing to watch helplessly as the throne that originally belonged to your son is handed over to someone else?"
Both of them were unmoved and responded directly!
"Oh, as long as my father and mother would rather give the title of the palace to someone else than to their own grandson, what else can I be unwilling to do as their daughter-in-law?"
Seeing that Shuangshuang refused to listen, the princess became angry and embarrassed.
"You, you, you are such an unfilial person. How can you disobey your elders on such an important matter?
I'll make the decision today. One day, I'll have your father open an ancestral hall and register the child under his great aunt's name!"
