Yang mansion.

In the hall of worship, the cries were soaring, and the coffins, one large and one small, were particularly shocking.

When Feng Liao and Prince Feng Shi wearing plain clothes escorted the Princess of Xing’an County, all the filial sons and grandchildren turned around to bow down and salute them.
“See Prince Ying!” “See Prince Xingjun!”

They had the status of princes and the Yang family naturally bowed their heads.

Feng Shi sighed and said, “The dead are to be respected. You don’t need to be polite.”

The husband of the Princess of Xing’an county, stood up from among the filial sons, and said to the Xing’an, “It’s time to change clothes.”

When he said this, his expression turned out to be very peaceful, it was just like a husband telling his wife something under normal circumstances, as if the Princess of Xing’an County had never used a stolen beam to replace a pillar*, as if Mrs. Yang’s death has nothing to do with the Princess of Xing’an County.

(Steal a beam to replace a pillar: playing tricks secretly, substituting false for truth and superior product for a bad one)

The Princess of Xing’an County saw that he was so pleasant, and she felt a little overjoyed, and quickly said, “Okay! I’ll go and change.”

She had just returned from the Prince’s Mansion, and was wearing only plain clothes.

The Princess of Xing’an County took Aunt Xiao to get dressed.

Feng Shi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Yang Jingyue in a cheerful manner, “Mrs. Yang and Yang Qi died. Our hearts are very upset. Brother-in-law may bring us to them so we could light an incense for the dead?”

Yang Jingyue was still very calm and bowed.

Feng Liao frowned and followed Feng Shi. Things were too peaceful and smooth! It made him feel terrible.

He followed Feng Shi to light the incense in front of the dead, and after the ceremony, he was invited for tea in the front hall.

In the front hall, some close friends and relatives of the Yang family were sitting. They saw Feng Shi and Feng Liao.

Feng Shi was very easygoing and humbly talked with the Yang family’s relatives and friends. Feng Liao followed the discussion with a few words, but he felt really bored. He remembered the Princess of Xing’an County and said, “Second brother, I’ll go for a walk.”

Feng Shi nodded and urged, “Let the guard follow you.”

Feng Liao nodded, turned away from the front hall, and walked towards the spiritual hall.

Su Mingjian and other guards quickly followed him.

As Feng Liao walked, he pondered about his brother-in-law Yang Jingyue’s reaction, ‘The brother-in-law’s performance just now was too calm! Something is wrong. Very wrong!’

What was Yang Jingyue going to do? No matter how bad his sister was, she was from the golden branch. If Yang Jingyue wasn’t scared of affecting Yang’s house, how would he dare not give a lesson to his sister? He thought about what his sister did which complicated things between him and Ruoruo, he felt even more irritated.

Unconsciously, he walked to the Yang Jiaheng courtyard where the spiritual hall was located.

Feng Liao didn’t approach, but just quietly stood under the veranda beside the gate of the courtyard, searching for the shadow of the princess of Xing’an among the crowd of filial piety.

Not long after, he saw the Princess of Xing’an County who changed her clothes, walk out of the inner room.

The Princess of Xing’an County was going to kneel with the females but was called by Yang Jingyue to the entrance of the spiritual hall. She went out followed by Aunt Xiao, and it seemed that Yang Jingyue ordered something.

Then Feng Liao saw that Yang Jingyue smiled very strangely at the Princess of Xing’an County and Aunt Xiao. He stretched his right hand into the sleeve of his left hand, quickly pulled out a dagger, stepped calmly, and stuck the dagger straight in Aunt Xiao’s chest.

When the dagger pierced into her chest, Aunt Xiao shuddered, two dull sounds stuck in her throat, her eyes stared round.

She looked at Yang Jingyue with astonishment, and she seemed totally unable to believe that Yang Jingyue had dealt her with this poisonous hand!

Yang Jingyue turned his wrist calmly and indifferently stirred the dagger in Aunt Xiao’s body.

Aunt Xiao groaned and completely lost consciousness. Her lost eyes were still staring at Yang Jingyue.

Yang Jingyue kicked Aunt Xiao away and pulled out the dagger.

Aunt Xiao fell on the door of the spiritual hall. A large amount of blood poured out from the wound of her chest, soaking her Xiao Yi dress.

(Xiao Yi: Chinese mourning clothes. White coat, pants and one white headbelt or hat.)

The Princess of Xing’an County finally snapped out of daze and screamed.

Feng Liao shouted, “Get him down!” He jumped off the Veranda and rushed towards Yang Jingyue. Su Mingjian, who was next to him, grabbed him and said, “Don’t go there! I’ll get him!” Pulling his sword, he rushed to Yang Jingyue.

The sound of an arrow broke through the air shot straight at Yang Jingyue.

However, Yang Jingyue agilely dodged the arrow, then turned around and pulled the Princess of Xing’an County into his arms. He wrapped his left hand around Princess of Xing’an County’s neck and the bloody dagger on the right hand reached her heart.
