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

Lianqiao was young and couldn't understand what Shen Lingxi was saying.

But thank you mother understood.

She was served by the ancestor of Wu Anbo, who had a close relationship with the deceased ancestor of the Shen family. Mother Xie had heard about what happened in the Shen family.

What's more, Shen Lingxi also has the title of "Miao Ling Daoist".

Mother Xie knew that Shen Lingxi, a little girl, had some weird abilities since she could see ghosts.

She stood in front of Lianqiao vigilantly: "Miss Shen, Lianqiao is timid, she doesn't know anything."

"She is weak and can't stand being frightened. If you have any questions, just ask me. I'll tell you everything."

Seeing her appearance, the old ancestor finally saw some clues, "Are you still hiding something from me?"

"I don't dare." Mother Xie lowered her head and hurriedly emphasized, "I have told you everything I know, and I have nothing to hide from you."

The old ancestor sneered and didn't expose it.

Seeing that Mother Xie was still stubborn, Shen Lingxi said no more, her eyes signaled Chunjun to wait outside, and went straight to the mourning hall.

Seeing this, Lianqiao hurriedly stuffed the medicine bag in her hand into the little girl's arms, helped the white flowers on her temples, and followed in step by step.

Seeing them enter the house, the little girl wrapped the medicines together with a piece of green cloth, then turned off the fire of the medicine stove, pretending to be calm and walking out with the burden.

Chun Jun looked at her coldly and did not stop her. After her figure disappeared at the entrance of the alley, she ordered the embroidered clothes guard outside the courtyard to follow quietly.Then he went back to the yard, found a chair, sat down and waited.

Seeing Shen Lingxi's eyes, Lianqiao can make the embroidered clothes obey orders. No matter how dull she is, she knows that this girl's background is not simple.

She put away the arrogant attitude she had just had when she was grabbing the medicine, and followed Shen Lingxi into the house, apologizing, "Miss, please forgive me, it was the servant girl who ran into the girl because she didn't know Taishan."

Shen Lingxi glanced at Lianqiao with a half-smile, but didn't answer.

She walked directly to the coffin and looked down at Mother Xie's body.

The corpse has been put on a new shroud.

On the way here, Chunjun had already told Shen Lingxi the autopsy results made by Wu.

Mama Xie suffered from heart paralysis.

Long before the old ancestor was alive, the old ancestor knew that she was not in good health, so he had a plan to have someone take over from her and let her be married to the Zhuangzi for honor and support.

The cause of her death this time was a sudden heart attack.

Wu Zuo found some residues of herbal medicines that should not be taken for cardiomyopathy in the stomach of Mama Xie's corpse.All the servants and maids in the mansion can see it. Mama Xie has been mourning so much these past few days that she never closes her eyes.

Before going to the court, Mama Xie's palsy showed signs of relapse, coupled with the emotional agitation and fear of the court, under the stimulation, sudden death is a certainty.

The autopsy results were exactly as they had guessed before.As expected, Mama Xie has been aiming at "death without proof" ever since her ancestor passed away.

Although Shen Lingxi had expected that Mother Xie died because of Lianqiao, she didn't know what secret Lianqiao had, and it was worth her life for it.

It wasn't until Shen Lingxi smelled the fragrance of the furnace of medicine under the corridor that she finally had the answer in her heart.

When he was in Yunguo, Shen Lingxi had followed Da Siming to tend medicinal herbs in the medicine palace since he was a child. He had already memorized the smell of ordinary herbs, and he knew what medicine was boiled in the medicine furnace without unpacking and verifying.

Seeing that Shen Lingxi hadn't said a single word, Lianqiao didn't know what to say, so she thought about it and asked: "Grandmother and servant girl depend on each other for life. The servant girl has never seen the girl, and the grandmother didn't know the girl before she was alive. What do you mean?"

Shen Lingxi sighed.

"I have a moderate problem, that is, I dream at night, and I can dream of ghosts." She pointedly said: "Last night, your grandmother gave me a dream, saying that before she died, she told lies to the embroiderer." , very regretful..."

"Miss Shen!"

Mama Xie's complexion changed immediately, and she interrupted anxiously: "As the saying goes, the dead are the most important. Although the servants and maids were lowly in life, but the immortal family pays attention to the equality of all beings. The girl is blessed with a gift from God, so she should be kind. Nian Cai. In front of the slave's soul, if you spread lies to the slave's close relatives, aren't you afraid of karmic retribution, and your lifespan will be broken?"

"Xie Qiuhua, you are so courageous, this is what you can say to my grandnephew and daughter-in-law!"

The old ancestor scolded coldly.

"Let's not talk about the girl Lingxi, she is right. When you just died yesterday, you told the truth in front of us, didn't you look remorseful? It is a good thing that she persuaded your granddaughter for you. You are ungrateful and thank you , but cursed her, what is your intention?"

"What's more, it's the curse of Yangshou. Xie Qiuhua..." The ancestor's face darkened when he said this, and he looked at her coldly. people?"

Xie's mother felt guilty when she saw the old ancestor's eyes.

She realized that she was in a hurry and almost missed the opening, forced a wry smile that was uglier than crying, and apologized, "It's my servant who was in a hurry and thought wrongly, it's my servant's fault."

Shen Lingxi and the ancestor looked at each other.

They all saw in the eyes of the other party, the ridicule of Xie's mother's overly eager to break the defense.

Sure enough, he didn't ask himself, showing off his feet.

Shen Lingxi didn't care about Xie's mother's trembling body, her eyes fell on Lianqiao's face again, and she continued: "Your grandmother was afraid that you would go astray like her, so she entrusted me to persuade you."

"Persuasion?" Lian Qiao's eyes flickered, and she lowered her head halfway.

She originally thought that the embroiderer sent this girl here on purpose, and there would be some terrible means.

Now it sounds like it's just pretending to fool people.

Lian Qiao pretended to believe her words, twisted the veil, and asked timidly: "I wonder what grandma wants the girl to persuade the servant?"

Shen Lingxi looked at her, and said meaningfully: "I advise you... For the sake of the baby in your belly, tell the truth to the embroidery envoy, so that mother and child can be safe."

As soon as these words came out, Lian Qiao suddenly raised her eyes, and suddenly took two steps back.

Xie's mother was also full of disbelief, she didn't understand how Shen Lingxi could see it.

"Lianqiao is pregnant?" The ancestor was even more surprised: "She has been serving me, how is this possible!"

As she spoke, she floated in front of Lianqiao, looking at Lianqiao's belly very carefully.

Lianqiao was already petite, but her abdomen was completely covered by the loose filial piety clothes, even if she looked closely, she couldn't see anything unusual.

"What do you mean girl?"

Lian Qiao turned her body sideways, avoiding Shen Lingxi's gaze, and said with feigned anger: "The servant girl thought that the girl was really 'entrusted' by her grandmother, but she didn't expect that she would use the name of her grandmother to slander the servant girl's innocence, which is simply absurd."

"Although the status of the servant is low, she still serves in front of the ancestors. If the girl slanders the reputation of the servant, what is the face of the ancestor? Please go back, girl, you are not welcome at the servant's house."

Shen Lingxi didn't expect that Lian Qiao could be so hard-spoken even after she had figured it out.

Pregnancy is like nothing else.

Not to mention the anti-fetal drugs beside the medicine stove outside, if you just find a doctor and take Lian Qiao's pulse, you can immediately verify whether she is pregnant or not.

What's the point of being stubborn?
Shen Lingxi looked at her mockingly, and made a gesture to call Chunjun to find the doctor——

Suddenly, there was a sound of messy footsteps from the yard.

She turned her eyes and saw a woman with white velvet flowers on her temples, leading a group of servants, walking in behind Chunjun...
