Chapter 177 Urgent Matter
Everyone in the capital knew that something had happened at Marquis Zhongyuan's Mansion.
Madame Jiang had already sought Imperial Scholar Liu from the Hanlin Academy and set the date to propose marriage at the Min Residence. However, the sudden incident at Marquis Zhongyuan's Mansion was like a bolt from the blue.
Zuo Zixi and Lingxiao had a special bond and, upon hearing the news, were distressed. That very evening, he went to Marquis Zhongyuan's Mansion.
Madame Jiang hurriedly had people bring generous gifts to the Liu Residence and the Min Residence, informing them that the marriage discussion would be postponed by two days.
That evening, Zuo Xiangning was dressed in a black attire, escorted by a dozen people to Marquis Zhongyuan's Mansion.
She staggered to the side of the coffin, leaning on the casket and grasping the corner of the white cloth.
