The Physicist Wife Who Overturned The World

1133 Blame Herself

Xue Fanxin did not interfere in Hai Lan’s matter. She stood by the window and watched as she was escorted away by the soldiers. As for Hai Lan’s outcome, she did not pity her at all, because she was not worth pitying.

Women were so strange. They often placed their hatred on innocent people, especially when it was to do with matters between women. Some women just could not bear to see other women being better than themself. This was why the phrase ‘women are quick to envy’ appeared.

Hence, it was best for her not to appear, in case she was attacked.

Xue Fanxin no longer thought about Hai Lan. Just as she was about to do something else, Heiran walked over and reported to her. “Consort, Consort Dowager Jing is dead.”

“When did she die? How did she die?” Xue Fanxin was not shocked by Consort Dowager Jing’s death at all and asked for some details very calmly.

From the day Consort Dowager Jing was banished to the cold palace, she knew that she would not live long. She was just a stupid person, a servant who tried to overthrow her master. With her intelligence and ability, how could she live long in the cold palace without Ah Jiu’s protection?

“She was killed by Fuling last night.”

“Fuling? Why is it her?”

Consort Dowager Jing had fallen out with Ah Jiu because of Fuling. She had not expected her to die at Fuling’s hands in the end. This was really unexpected.

Could this be the reason Ah Jiu allowed Fuling to remain back then?

That was unlikely.

Heiran knew that Xue Fanxin was shocked, and even she was surprised. “When the Empress placed the Emperor under house arrest, she held great power. Those princes who had some power and strength were removed or crippled. The Third Prince was also eliminated by the Empress. Once the Third Prince fell, Fuling lost everything. She placed her anger on Consort Dowager Jing and strangled her to death last night, then hung herself from the beam.”

“They brought this upon themselves.”

“Consort, what should we do with Consort Dowager Jing’s funeral? Should we do it with the ceremony of a Consort Dowager or as a palace maid?”

“I have to ask Ah Jiu about that. Wait a moment.” Xue Fanxin sent a voice transmission to Ye Jiushang through the Reverse Spirit Heaven Wheel. “Ah Jiu, Consort Dowager Jing was killed by Fuling. How do you want to arrange her funeral?”

Ye Jiushang replied, “Just do it according to the rules of the Ye royal family, and whatever position she holds now.”

In the past, he might have valued Consort Dowager Jing a little, but now, he had no feelings for a person who had forgotten her roots and tried to overthrow her master.

Consort Dowager Jing had already been removed from her position as the Consort Dowager long ago. Her current identity was only that of a palace maid and a maidservant. Her funeral was done hastily and a coffin was simply buried. There was not even a mourner.

Who would have thought that the high-spirited Consort Dowager Jing would end up like this? But who could be blamed?

She could only blame herself for courting death.

The second day after Consort Dowager Jing’s burial, Xue Fanxin carried incense and offerings to her grave to pay her respects.

Just as Xue Fanxin was paying her respects to Consort Dowager Jing, gusts of cold wind suddenly blew in the surroundings, extinguishing the candles. The paper money on the ground fluttered non-stop.
