All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

Chapter 125 The Cause of the Ancestor's Death

"The magistrate has sent someone to inspect it."

Mrs. Zeng wiped the corners of her eyes lightly with a handkerchief, and said with a choked voice: "After eating, my mother is used to walking in the back garden to digest food. There is a rockery in the back garden. Her old man often goes to the rockery to climb up and look far away. rest in the pavilion."

"In the past few days, because of getting angry with the ninth brother, she is depressed and doesn't like to be followed by others. Who would have thought that she would suddenly slip and fall from the rockery today, and when the imperial doctor comes, it will be impossible to recover..."

"If I had known this before, I would have sent someone to follow me no matter what. It was because I didn't take good care of my mother..."

As Mrs. Zeng spoke, she whimpered and cried, her thin face was full of remorse.

Chu Yan turned his eyes and looked at Mu Huai'an.

"Madam's condolences." Mu Huai'an stepped forward and said, "Can someone take the official down to the rockery to have a look?"

Mrs. Zeng nodded and signaled the housekeeper to take Mu Huai'an there.

Without saying a word, Chu Yan turned around and went out with them.

It means to go together.

After they left, Shen Lingxi looked at Mrs. Zeng and a group of servants in the room, and said: "The ancestor fell from a height, and it is very difficult to repair the body. You need to calm down. I also ask Madam to send everyone away. Just leave me and my buddies here."

After she said this, Mrs. Zeng had no reason to stay here any longer, so she ordered the maidservant to serve tea for the two of them, and led them away.

Only Shen Lingxi and Yun Huang were left in the room.

Shen Lingxi was planning to let Yun Huang go out and wait——
But he had already opened the wooden box containing the tools, and with his thin and slender fingers, he skillfully placed the tools inside one by one beside the bed.

With mixed feelings in Shen Lingxi's heart, she said softly: "As the special envoy of the Yun Kingdom, you still have a lot to do for the people of the Yun Kingdom. You don't have to do it for me."

"Sister, have you forgotten that when I was in the Medicine Palace, I also helped you in this way."

Yun Huang raised his eyes and smiled at her, with a childish stubbornness on his clear face, "Just let me do something for you, so I won't delay other things."

Shen Lingxi knew that he would not be able to persuade him for a while, so she simply stopped persuading him.

Anyway, her process of mending the corpse was very bloody, and ordinary people couldn't bear it at all.

Even Mu Huai'an, who often dealt with homicide cases, was watching from the sidelines last time, and ran out to vomit repeatedly, not to mention Yun Wang, a boy who was only 17 years old.

Just wait until he knows the difficulty and retreats.

Thinking of this, Shen Lingxi lifted the white cloth off the corpse, revealing the corpse that was exactly the same as the soul of the ancestor.

The injury of the whole body was much more severe than what Shen Lingxi could see from the soul body with naked eyes.

He died because he fell from a high place, his viscera were seriously injured, his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose were bloodstained, his abdominal cavity was slightly bulging, and his insides were probably bloody.

In addition, the ancestors were over sixty years old, and their bones were fragile. Shen Lingxi touched all the joints and found that there were many broken bones.

This requires cutting the skin, cleaning it, connecting the bones, and suturing.

The whole process requires great concentration and patience.

Shen Lingxi originally thought that Yun Huang would not be able to hold on for long, and would run out unbearably like Mu Huai'an did before.

Unexpectedly, after a full two hours, Yun Wang not only kept his face unchanged, but also helped her with some auxiliary work very meticulously.

As a result, the restoration of the corpse, which usually takes four hours to complete, saved half of the time.

This made Shen Lingxi feel very incredible.

"You used to be timid, why are you so bold now?"

Yun Juan's eyelashes drooped slightly, hiding the emotion in his eyes.

He chuckled and replied: "My sister didn't dare to do these things before, but now she is very proficient in doing them. People... can grow and change."

Shen Lingxi agrees with this very much, "However, no matter how it changes, you will always be the best in my heart."

After the restoration of the body is completed, the last step is to dress the deceased.

The ancestor of Marquis Wu'an had a round face and slender eyes. Although he was already old, he was able to wield knives and guns all day long and exercised well, but there were not many wrinkles on his face, and he was very kind-hearted.

Shen Lingxi drew her eyebrows and eyes carefully.

The ancestor of Wu Anbo was originally sitting in the room in a trance, feeling the changes in his soul and body, and finally came back to his senses.

Seeing Shen Lingxi working on her corpse, he stood up from the chair, walked to the opposite side of the coffin bed, and watched Shen Lingxi's movements curiously.

"Oh, I don't like eyebrows painted like this. They are too thick. I want Yuan Shandai. When I was young, both your grandmother and I liked Yuan Shandai."

Hearing this, Shen Lingxi smiled slightly, and instead of looking at her, she turned around and twisted the veil, gently wiped off the eyebrows that had just been painted, and painted Yuanshandai for her.

Seeing this, the ancestor was startled.

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, and said in a critical tone: "This hairpin is not well-chosen. The suet jade crested hairpin in my dowry was given to me by the old man when he was alive. I want to wear that."

Hearing this, Shen Lingxi found a crested hairpin from the dowry, and stuck it in her hair according to her ancestor's wishes.

"Girl!" The old ancestor floated in front of her in surprise, stretched out his hand and waved in front of her eyes, "Girl, can you see me? Or can you only hear me?"

Shen Lingxi blinked at her, "I can see and hear."

In this room, there are only two living people, she and Yun Wang.

The moment Shen Lingxi uttered a sound, Yun Huan was very surprised.

"I'm talking to my ancestors." Shen Lingxi explained to him softly.

Regarding her abilities, she did not intend to hide from Yun Huang.

A sudden look flashed across Yun Lu's eyes.

After accepting the fact that Shen Lingxi was reborn in a different shell, no matter what shocking words she said, he would no longer be surprised.

"Girl, it's great that you can see me!"

The old ancestor was so happy that he wanted to jump up, and subconsciously pulled Shen Lingxi's hand, but the soul passed through Shen Lingxi's palm.

Only then did she realize that she had become a wisp of dead soul, and she couldn't help feeling sad.

Seeing the mournful look in her eyes, Shen Lingxi found an excuse to divert her attention, and asked softly, "Old Ancestor, you are so well-behaved, why did you suddenly fall from the rockery? Would you like to tell me yes?" what happened?"

The old ancestor's face darkened when he thought of his own death.

"I was sitting in the pavilion when I heard a cat meowing in the grass, so I thought maybe a stray cat had stumbled in the grass. It was a flat slope and there was no danger. I even searched for it. As soon as I cut a branch, I wanted to push the grass away from the distance and let the cat get out of trouble. Unexpectedly, as soon as I got to the slope, someone pushed me from behind. When I was dying, I didn’t see it. Who pushed me..."
