Yang Chenglinâs face was filled with disbelief. However, when he saw his sisterâs solemn expression and remembered the conversation between Mrs. Cui and her, he was convinced.
However, was their motherâs death really the fault of Mrs. Cui? Thinking of this, he looked at her and asked, âIs there any evidence to prove that Mother was killed by Mrs. Cui?â
âTo be honest, I also thought she died of illness, but later 1 overheard she froze to death. When Cousin Zhou confirmed the Hardy Ice Plant in my tea, I suddenly remembered the cause of Motherâs death.
âHowever, they did it too discreetly. The people who served Mother were either sold or dismissed by Mrs. Cui. 1 canât verify it for sure.â
âWho said Mother froze to death?â Yang Chenglin clenched his fists and asked with a darkened face.
âIt was Yang Wanyu who accidentally let it slip. She said Mrs. Cui sent someone to cut off Motherâs charcoal supply, soâ¦â
Yang Chenglin stood up immediately. Since it came from Yang Wanyuâs mouth, it was basically confirmed.
Thinking of this, he quickly ran out. He had to go to prison and ask his father if he knew about this.
Yang Wanning immediately grabbed him and asked, âWhere are you going?â
âIâm going to ask Father.â
âDo you think he will admit it?â

âSit down.â Yang Wanning pulled him back and sat him down, saying, âI didnât tell you before because I was afraid you would act impulsively.
âIâm telling you now so we donât have to care about Mrs. Cui. Itâs their fate whether they live or not.â
Yang Wanning feared her brother would still make a fool of himself, so she stood up and said, âLetâs go. Weâll pick someone up.â
âWho?â
âDo you still remember Mrs. Sun, who was by Motherâs side?â
âI do. Sheâs part of Motherâs dowry, someone who never married.â
âYes, I think she should know something. Letâs go to the manor and take a look.â
Yang Chenglin hesitated for a moment before nodding and following her out.
After they went to the kitchen to get some food, they took Chunxi with them and rode a carriage to the manor in the suburbs.
Once they had left the range of Zhou Yingâs divine senses, she no longer followed them. Instead, she focused her attention on Yang Wanyu.
The two siblings were left alone in Prince Huiâs living room. There was not even a single person to serve them tea.
After about 15 minutes, Yang Chengsen stood angrily and said, âSis, what is Brother-in-law doing? Weâve been waiting for so long, but thereâs no one even here to greet us.â
Yang Wanyu smiled bitterly. She knew this would happen but still held a glimmer of hope. âLetâs wait a little longer. His Highness is busy.â
âIsnât our issue more urgent?â Yang Chengsen sat down angrily.
However, no one came. Even Yang Chengsen quickly understood that the First Prince was turning a blind eye to them.
The siblings looked at each other and got up to walk out.
At this moment, Consort Hui walked over from afar. âSister Yang, shouldnât you wait for a while? His Highness should be back soon.â
âIf His Highness isnât in the residence, why didnât the servants say so earlier?â Yang Wanyu looked at her and asked indignantly.
âOh, my, such a temper. I just returned from my parentâs home and didnât know there were guests.
âThe servants shouldâve guessed your intentions, so they left you for His Highnessâ presence.
âYou should know that the members of the royal family and the first-grade officials are in the palace at this time.â Consort Hui smiled and replied.
However, today was an exception. The First Prince did not enter the palace after breakfast. Instead, he stayed in his study with his advisors and did not come out.
So, this meant the First Princeâs absence was definitely intentional. He refused to meet the Yang siblings..
