Yang Chenglin’s face was filled with disbelief. However, when he saw his sister’s solemn expression and remembered the conversation between Mrs. Cui and her, he was convinced.
However, was their mother’s death really the fault of Mrs. Cui? Thinking of this, he looked at her and asked, “Is there any evidence to prove that Mother was killed by Mrs. Cui?”
“To 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 Mother’s death.
“However, they did it too discreetly. The people who served Mother were either sold or dismissed by Mrs. Cui. 1 can’t verify it for sure.”
“Who said Mother froze to death?” Yang Chenglin clenched his fists and asked with a darkened face.
“It was Yang Wanyu who accidentally let it slip. She said Mrs. Cui sent someone to cut off Mother’s charcoal supply, so…”
Yang Chenglin stood up immediately. Since it came from Yang Wanyu’s 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, “Where are you going?”
“I’m going to ask Father.”
“Do you think he will admit it?”

“Sit down.” Yang Wanning pulled him back and sat him down, saying, “I didn’t tell you before because I was afraid you would act impulsively.
“I’m telling you now so we don’t have to care about Mrs. Cui. It’s their fate whether they live or not.”
Yang Wanning feared her brother would still make a fool of himself, so she stood up and said, “Let’s go. We’ll pick someone up.”
“Who?”
“Do you still remember Mrs. Sun, who was by Mother’s side?”
“I do. She’s part of Mother’s dowry, someone who never married.”
“Yes, I think she should know something. Let’s go to the manor and take a look.”
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 Ying’s divine senses, she no longer followed them. Instead, she focused her attention on Yang Wanyu.
The two siblings were left alone in Prince Hui’s living room. There was not even a single person to serve them tea.
After about 15 minutes, Yang Chengsen stood angrily and said, “Sis, what is Brother-in-law doing? We’ve been waiting for so long, but there’s no one even here to greet us.”
Yang Wanyu smiled bitterly. She knew this would happen but still held a glimmer of hope. “Let’s wait a little longer. His Highness is busy.”
“Isn’t our issue more urgent?” 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. “Sister Yang, shouldn’t you wait for a while? His Highness should be back soon.”
“If His Highness isn’t in the residence, why didn’t the servants say so earlier?” Yang Wanyu looked at her and asked indignantly.
“Oh, my, such a temper. I just returned from my parent’s home and didn’t know there were guests.
“The servants should’ve guessed your intentions, so they left you for His Highness’ presence.
“You should know that the members of the royal family and the first-grade officials are in the palace at this time.” 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 Prince’s absence was definitely intentional. He refused to meet the Yang siblings..
