"I'm not wearing the mourning garment, take it away!" Xia Sizhu didn't even glance at the clothes in Ling'er's hands as she spoke.
"Miss, that's not good!" Ling'er held the mourning garment, at a loss of what to do.
"What's wrong with it? First, it's not my mother. Second, it's not good for me at all. Third Xia Wei is not my father, so why should I wear mourning clothes?"
She was still living in the Prime Minister's Estate. Firstly, she couldn't be at ease with Aunt Liu, and secondly, she should have a place to marry.
Although she had no objections, she could still live in the palace. Since she was already used to living in the Prime Minister's Estate, she did not want to change it. It had only been ten days anyway.
In the end, Ling'er still couldn't win against Xia Sizhu. She chose a simple set of white clothes and put them on. If the First Madame died, she wouldn't wear mourning clothes. She would wear a white one anyway, so it was better not to show off too much.
When Xia Sizhu brought Ling'er to the front hall, she discovered that the first wife's mourning hall had already been set up.
"Why didn't you come out wearing mourning clothes? Someone is going to give her another copy. "
Xia Wei saw Xia Sizhu coming out wearing white clothes and frowned as he spoke.
"No need, I'm not wearing it. I don't think I have a good relationship with the eldest lady. She can dress her in mourning clothes."
Xia Sizhu glanced at the coffin and spoke to the first wife, who was neatly dressed and had a clean appearance.
Even after looking at her for so many years, she was still the most pleasing person to look at.
"If you don't want to wear it, then so be it!" Xia Wei deeply looked at Xia Si Zhu and said.
Xia Sizhu raised her eyebrows. Did Xia Wei eat the wrong medicine? How could he just let her go like this, neither hitting nor scolding? That shouldn't be! Did his personality change?
While Xia Sizhu was still confused, Xia Caixi, Xia Caisi, and Dongfang Li had arrived.
"Mother, why don't you want to hang yourself? If Grandpa and Uncle leave, you leave too. How are we going to live if you leave me and my little sister behind?"
Xia Caixi leaned against the eldest wife's coffin and began to cry, crying sorrowfully.
"Mother!" On the other side, Xia Caisi was already in tears.
Xia Sizhu didn't sympathize at all with the two of them. Now that their mother and uncle were dead, their backers were gone.
As for the Prime Minister's estate having Aunt Liu, and Xia Wei being a cruel and merciless person, and even killing their uncle, he naturally wouldn't help them much.
What's more, the two of them had never been more of a chess piece in Xia Wei's game, so it was impossible for them to be more prepared for it.
Chavez had married his wife to climb, and his daughters were his ladders.
Xia Wei definitely already had some grudges against them. He wouldn't kill them, and he definitely wouldn't treat them well either. Xia Wei only needed to guarantee that the Crown Prince would ascend the throne in the future. The Empress was one of them.
Since Dong Fang Li was a heartless person, the two of them would probably have a tough time staying in the crown prince's mansion.
Ever since Dongfang Li entered, her gaze had been fixed on Xia Sizhu's body, not moving away from her.
Xia Si Zhu felt the expression in Dong Fang Li's eyes and turned his body slightly to the side, using his back to block Dong Fang Li's gaze.
"Did you and that slut, Aunt Liu, harm my mother as well? I'm going to kill you."
The crying Xia Caixi suddenly pulled out a knife from her sleeves and stabbed it towards Xia Sizhu's chest.
This was because Xia Sizhu was very close to Xia Caixi, and had just turned to block Dongfang Li's gaze, exposing her chest just like that to Xia Caixi.
Xia Caixi's movements were quick. In the blink of an eye, she had arrived at Xia Sizhu's chest. Xia Sizhu coldly watched as she prepared to dodge the attack at the last second.
To her surprise, she found a hand blocking her chest even faster than her.
Xia Caixi saw that the person who had arrived wanted to withdraw, but she couldn't control her blade and directly stabbed into his arm. She reflexively pulled out her dagger.
Xia Sizhu looked at the approaching person in astonishment. The dagger in Xia Caixi's hand had fallen. Xia Caisi stared blankly at this scene. Aunt Liu and Xia Wei were so shocked that their mouths were agape.
"Big Brother Li, do you feel any pain?" Xia Caixi looked at Dong Fang Li's bleeding arm, her already red eyes turning even redder.
She didn't want to do this. She only wanted to kill Xia Sizhu. She didn't want to hurt Big Brother Li Li.
"I'm fine!" Dong Fang Li withdrew her hand from Xia Si Zhu's and said indifferently.
"Hurry and bandage the crown prince." When Xia Wei saw that the wound on Dongfang Li's hand was bleeding profusely, he told Xia Sizhu.
"Why me?" Xia Sizhu raised an eyebrow. There were so many people here, but it was only a small wound. Anyone could bandage it.
"The Crown Prince was injured because of you, aren't you going to do something?" Xia Wei knew that Xia Sizhu didn't want to be tough, so he had no choice but to be soft.
Xia Sizhu rolled her eyes. Although she did not want Dong Fang Li to block the blade for her, Dong Fang Li still blocked it for her. She should repay this favor to her. Should she help her bandage it?
Xia Sizhu walked to Dong Fang Li's side and, under Dong Fang Li's slightly bright eyes, picked up Dong Fang Li's clothes.
With a hiss, he tore a piece of cloth from the hem of Dong Fang Li's clothes, and then roughly wrapped it around Dong Fang Li's wound.
"Hiss ~" Xia Sizhu's strength was not light at all. She even wanted to touch Dong Fang Li's wound. Dong Fang Li sucked in a breath of air in pain, and was about to pull her hand back.
"Don't move. Don't blame me for having crippled your hand." Xia Si Zhu threatened as he grabbed Dong Fang Li's hand.
"Are you done!?" When Dongfang Li heard this, she could only suppress the anger in her heart. Only when Xia Sizhu had finished assembling the knot did Dongfang Li finally ask this question.
"Alright!" Xia Sizhu patted Dong Fang Li's hand and said.
"Xia Caixi is here to settle our scores!" Xia Sizhu said as she looked at Xia Caixiu, who was looking at her maliciously.
"Xia Sizhu, you killed my mother, so it should be us settling the score with you." Xia Caisi also spoke with red eyes.
"How do you know I killed the First Lady? "What about the evidence?"
The corner of Xia Si Zhu's mouth slightly quirked upwards, completely ignoring Xia Caixi and Xia Caisi's questioning.
Putting aside the fact that they didn't have any evidence, even if they did, they wouldn't be able to touch her.
Speaking of evidence, their faces instantly turned ugly.
"Without evidence, even if you guys were to break through the heavens, you still wouldn't be able to prove that I was the one who caused your mother's death." As expected, there was no evidence.
"Your mother hanged herself because she heard that her mother's family was dead. It had nothing to do with me."
Xia Si Zhu looked at the two of them and told them about the eldest wife's death.
"Xia Sizhu, Aunt Liu, just you wait. Sooner or later, I will find the evidence that you two killed my mother."
Xia Caixi's eyes were filled with hatred. She would definitely seek justice for her mother.
"I'll be waiting for you anytime." Xia Sizhu gave Xia Caixi a brilliant smile. Would she be afraid of Xia Caixi?
At this moment, Xia Caisi suddenly fainted and Xia Sizhu caught her in time.
That was because the direction Xia Caisi fell in was precisely where Xia Sizhu was. If he couldn't catch her, Xia Caisi would fall onto her body.
Xia Si Zhu looked at Xia Caisi and raised an eyebrow. Just as he was about to toss her out, he heard Xia Wei's voice again.
"Sizhu, look at Cai Si's face. Why did she suddenly faint?" Because the Crown Prince was here, Xia Wei pretended to be a kind father.
