Reincarnation: My Possessive Beast Husband

Chapter 40: Chapter 40 Bury Old Madam and Old Marquis Together
 

However, it seemed that no girl would fall victim tonight.

But during the day tomorrow, she had to capture the murderer, otherwise, a bigger incident would occur tomorrow night.

…….

Early the next morning, Su Yan got out of bed early and prepared everything, planning to go alone to apprehend the murderer.

“Princess, where are you going?”

Jin Lan saw her dressed as a man again and asked in confusion.

“Just out for a bit,” Su Yan replied simply.

“Princess, you can’t go out now.”

“Why not?”

“The Marquis sent me to tell you that today we need to go to the ancestral temple in the suburbs to bring back Old Madam’s spirit tablet to the Chu Family and record her name in the Chu Family genealogy.”

Old Madam? Chu Yuxiao’s mother?

She had thought he sprang from the cracks in the rocks; it turned out he had a mother.

Seeing her puzzled and ignorant look, Jin Hua stepped forward and whispered:

“It’s understandable that the Princess doesn’t know about Old Madam.

Old Madam passed away twenty years ago; the Princess wasn’t even born at that time.”

Jin Hua seemed to know a lot, so Su Yan asked her:

“Isn’t Old Madam’s spirit tablet in the Chu Family? Why are they only bringing it into the Chu Family now?”

Looking around to ensure no one was watching, Jin Hua continued in a low voice:

“The Princess might not know. When Old Madam and Old Marquis were together, everyone was against it.

Thus, the Chu Family wouldn’t let Old Madam’s name be recorded in the genealogy, nor would they allow her to be buried with Old Marquis.

This time, the reason why the Marquis agreed to marry the Princess is that the Emperor promised the Marquis that Old Madam could be buried with Old Marquis, and her name could be added to the Chu Family genealogy.”

Su Yan suddenly understood; so that was the case.

She knew it; Chu Yuxiao, an arrogant man, wouldn’t marry just because the Emperor told him to.

It was for his mother.

It seemed, then, that the young man was still a filial son?

But, was this the right time to go to the ancestral temple? The murderer hadn’t been caught yet.

“Princess, must you really accompany the Marquis there? Now that you’re a wife in the Chu Family, you must show up for such a major event.”
