Chapter 147 Condolences
Qin Yanfeng asked her what happened, but Jiang Xian refused to say anything.Helpless, he had to agree to come back tomorrow.

Jiang Xian was very happy.

The original asking price was 8000 taels, but in the end, Song Qi only accepted a jade hairpin. This transaction made Jiang Xian feel that she had taken advantage of it.

The next day, she got up early to freshen up and picked out a set of plain white dresses.Before leaving, Jiang Xian whispered to Cui Nong, but Cui Nong was puzzled, seeing Jiang Xian's serious face, she didn't ask any further questions.After Madam Xu prepared the things, the group headed to Duan Shilang's mansion.

The Shilang's mansion is no more luxurious than Yuguo's mansion.

The first seven days have passed, Duan Shilang has gone to court, leaving only one family member in hemp and filial piety.The autumn wind is rustling, white flower elegiac couplets are hung on the door lintel, it is cold and desolate.

Madam Xu went up the steps and handed a name card to the doorman.Seeing Jiang Xian's high status, the door boy didn't dare to neglect, so he hurried to pass the message.

When the mistress of the family died and Duan Shilang was not around, the only one who could call the shots in the house was Duan Jinqiu and the concubine Aunt Li.

Duan Jinqiu just lost her mother and was in a bad mood, and she didn't want to see outsiders. These days, Aunt Li took care of her inside and out.When she heard that the Young Madam of Duke Yu's Mansion came to visit unexpectedly, she ran over with small steps and hurriedly saluted, "I am from the Li family, and I have met the Young Madam."

Aunt Li's charm still exists.

She has no children and is cautious in dealing with things, so she is doing well in the Duan Mansion, and has never been squeezed out by the mistress.

Jiang Xian ordered Cui Nong to bring in the elegiac scrolls, took the gift from Nanny Xu, and handed it to Aunt Li, "I went back to Beijing a few days ago, and I was deeply sorry to hear that Jin Qiu's mother had passed away. If you take the liberty to come to the door, I hope Aunt Li will not be offended."

Aunt Li was surprised when Duan Jinqiu had a relationship with Jiang Xian, so she refused to accept it, and took the gift box, "Don't blame, don't blame, young lady has a heart."

"I want to pay homage to my aunt, please ask my aunt to lead the way."

"Please."

The mourning hall of the Duan family's mother is in the main hall. If you walk around the screen wall, you can see rows of black and white wreaths, pears, tangerines and other offerings on the table, and the smoke from the incense burner.

Jiang Xian stepped forward, folded her skirt and knelt on the futon, folded her hands together, and sincerely read a silent eulogy for Madam Duan.

She stood up, frowned, and said sadly: "My aunt was a guest at Yuguo's mansion before her death. Although she and I only met each other briefly, we got along very well. It's really sad that she passed away this time."

Aunt Li sighed, and echoed, "Yeah, who would have expected such a thing to happen? Wenchun, that girl, usually disobeys discipline, but I never thought she would be so cruel!"

Jiang Xian's eyes narrowed, "Has it been confirmed that Duan Wenchun did it?"

"The government sent her to prison!" Aunt Li reckoned that Jiang Xian had just returned to Beijing, so she didn't know the whole thing yet.She looked around and lowered her voice, "Young madam, you don't know. I was also there the night Wenchun started. The mistress drank a bowl of lotus seed soup that Wenchun sent, and her face turned black on the spot. Bleeding, clutching her neck and wailing for a long time. She personally identified the murderer as Wenchun, could it be false?"

Jiang Xian didn't answer.

Aunt Li and the others were kept in the dark, not knowing that this was Madam Duan's impromptu plan to frame Duan Wenchun.

She came here this time to help Duan Wenchun find a piece of evidence.

"Aunt Li, I want to visit my aunt's former residence."

"This……"

Jiang Xian saw her scruples.

Madam Duan's yard is also Duan Shilang's yard, and the study is over there, so it might not be good for her to break in as an outsider.Thinking of this, Jiang Xian said softly: "I won't go into the house, I'll just take a look outside the yard."

As soon as this remark came out, Aunt Li thought it would be okay to let Jiang Xian take a look, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take you there."
