When the news of the Zheng Family's death was sent into the palace, the sky had already brightened.
While Jiang Shaohua was having breakfast, Chen Sheren quickly reported: "…Mrs. Zheng stabbed herself in the chest with scissors. The wound wasn't deep enough, so she stabbed herself a second time, showing her determination to die."
"The Zheng Family set up the mourning hall in the early hours and hardly sent out any notifications. Seems like they don't intend to hold an extravagant funeral."
This was only natural. Zheng Chen, being a rebel, was eradicated by the court. In theory, the Zheng Family should await punishment and questioning. In such times, they would rather keep a low profile than hold a grand funeral.
Such low-key behavior also serves to appear pitiable and earn sympathy from others.
The prominent Zheng Family, once an influential external relative of the court, has fallen to such a state. Everyone, please show some mercy and stop pressing so hard!
