Remarrying Chun Yuan

Chapter 275 Incense Ash

"Did Father agree to my aunt's request that I get married within a hundred days?" Huang Wanwan didn't answer, but asked directly instead.

“What your aunt said makes sense… but don’t worry, I will definitely find out the truth about Dingxiang and I will never let your mother die unjustly.” Huang Fan had lost his previous emotions and became more rational.

"So, you still broke your promise to Mother." Huang Wanwan smiled knowingly.

"So who do you want to marry? Do you want to wait until after the mourning period? By then you'll be too old..." Huang Fan only touched on the sore spot.

"You agreed without hesitation before my mother passed away, but your attitude changed after just a few words from my aunt. Should I also consider that your statement about seeking justice for my mother was just a perfunctory remark?" Huang Wanwan was filled with disappointment, even despair.

She couldn't imagine that her mother would die for such a man, even if that man was her father. She felt it was so pathetic and not worth it at all!

"Wanwan!" Huang Fan said, his hands behind his back, "I'm afraid that if the things at home are exposed, you'll be... ruined for the rest of your life..."

"If Father refuses to find the poisoner for Mother and insists on my marriage within a hundred days, then I would rather perish with him and personally announce this to the world." Huang Wanwan was already determined to go all out.

"!!!" Huang Fan was extremely shocked, but he was only surprised for a moment before looking towards the door.

At this moment, Madam Ding entered from outside. She hadn't expected Huang Wanwan to be so stubborn. "You silly girl, how could you be so irrational and ruin the Huang family?!"

"If it's ruined, it's ruined. What's the point of keeping such a filthy and rotten home?"

Huang Wanwan looked at her father coldly, "I have already sent Yan Ge'er away, so you don't need to look for him anymore. If Father does not keep Mother's promise, then you can forget about ever seeing him again."

Huang Fan was utterly shocked!

He never expected his daughter to hide their young son!

"Where did you send him? Bring him back quickly, he's only four years old!"

"I feel that nowhere in the world is safer than the Huang family." Huang Wanwan adopted a nonchalant attitude, "I'm all alone now, what do I have to be afraid of?"

She pushed Huang Fan aside and went out to instruct the housekeeper on the funeral arrangements for Madam Huang.

Huang Fan and his older sister exchanged a glance. Neither of them could believe that this was the same Huang Wanwan they knew. She seemed like a completely different person!

"How could this girl be so reckless!" Ding Huangshi hadn't expected it either. "We absolutely cannot let her spread this around, otherwise your official position will be ruined, and the Huang family's future will be over!"

"What can I do? Promises made time and time again, only to break them again and again? In the children's hearts, I've become a worthless piece of trash. Is this what my elder sister wanted to see?" Huang Fan sneered self-deprecatingly.

"I did all this for you, how can you be so ungrateful?" Ding Huangshi was filled with resentment.

"I'm just asking you, is it really true that Xiuru's illness has absolutely nothing to do with you?" He had begun to suspect his eldest sister.

Ding Huangshi's body trembled. "That lilac isn't mine..."

"Alright, I understand." Huang Fan stopped her from saying anything more, but the coldness in his words already revealed his estrangement. "From now on, elder sister, you should interfere less in family matters. The Duke of Jingguo is getting old, and it's not appropriate for you to keep going back to your parents' home."

After saying this, he went to inquire where Huang Wanwan had been these past few days. He had to find his son first, otherwise he would lose control of his daughter!

Ding Huangshi gritted her teeth in anger, "See? My entire youth has been wasted on this heartless ingrate!" she cursed, trembling.

Aunt Liang naturally heard the siblings arguing and quickly ran over to persuade them, "Master, please don't take it to heart. Uncle was just in a moment of anger and said some harsh words."

"What do you mean by saying harsh words? He just thinks I'm meddling! If it weren't for me, would he have been able to get such a good marriage? If he had really married Consort Chun as his principal wife, he would never have become the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. He's just delusional!" Madam Ding was furious.

Aunt Liang quickly looked around to make sure no one was there before muttering softly, "Don't blame Uncle, you were indeed a bit agitated just now. And the fact that Huang Shi's death was caused by Ding Xiang, could it be that there really was someone in the manor who killed her?" She naturally thought of Aunt Chun.

"Of course she hopes Xiuru will go to see the King of Hell soon. That fool promised to make her his legal wife." Ding Huangshi also couldn't stand Chun's arrogance, but what could she do when her brother was bewitched and was about to die under this peony?

"So you can keep quiet and never mention the past..." Aunt Liang urged.

Ding Huangshi's face darkened, and she was full of regret. "I was bewitched back then."

"When Uncle finds out about Aunt Chun, he might let it go, considering she gave birth to his eldest son and two daughters," Aunt Liang advised.

"The key is to prevent that girl Wanwan from causing trouble. I thought of everything, but I never expected her to be the first to rebel!" Ding Huangshi thought she could control her niece, but she didn't expect that she would be the first to rebel.

"So where could the young master be hidden?" Aunt Liang asked curiously.

"Where else could he be hiding? It must be the Liu family." Ding Huangshi didn't want to delay. "Let's go now and bring Yan Ge'er back."

As she thought this, Aunt Liang immediately sent someone to prepare a car.

At this time, Lin Mengyu and Liu Yuechan had returned to the Liu family and told them everything that had happened in the Huang family.

"...Wanwan and Uncle Huang were on good terms at first, but then the concubine of the Duke of Jingguo's mansion appeared, and Uncle Huang changed his mind." Lin Mengyu sighed.

She now thinks that Madam Lin's rigid and dogmatic ways weren't so wrong after all; at least the Huang family wouldn't have had so many filthy incidents, which were absolutely out of control!

Liu Yuechu was also stunned. She thought her father was already irresponsible for abandoning her and running away with her. But she never expected that Huang Fan, who was always kind and smiling, would be so cruel and vicious to his wife.

"No wonder she sent Yan Ge'er out first. Otherwise, once Yan Ge'er was under her control, she would agree to whatever Madam Ding asked for," Liu Yuechu sighed.

Despite her fiery and strong-willed nature, Huang Wanwan is actually more responsive to gentle persuasion than force.

Although she didn't bring Yan Ge'er out on ordinary days, she still cared about this younger brother. Besides, Yan Ge'er was sensible and smart. When he snuggled sweetly into her arms, even she, who wasn't his older sister, felt warm and heartbroken. How much more so would Huang Wanwan feel?

"Yuechan, what are you doing?" As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Liu Yuechan carefully fiddling with the incense ash.

Liu Yuechan scratched her head, "Brought from Madam Huang's room..."

"Is there something wrong with this incense ash?" Liu Yuechu asked.

"I just think it smells a little like cloves. But Madam Huang knows she has a strong reaction to cloves, so why would she use this stuff?" Liu Yuechan wasn't sure if she was just imagining things.

Liu Yuechu and Lin Mengyu exchanged a glance. Could it be that there was more than one person who harmed Madam Huang?

"Master, the concubine of the Duke's mansion has arrived at the gate and wants to take Yan-ge'er away!" The gatekeeper rushed over, shouting as he ran.
