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

Chapter 15 Two daughters
Zhao Cheng broke his lips, but he couldn't turn the matter around, so he had to leave in despair.

Dali Temple took over the case faster than Shen Ji expected.

Shen Ji sent Steward Zhou to invite him, and Mu Huai'an, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, personally brought Wu Zuo to the door.

Because Shen Ji had heard from Mrs. An that the marriage in the hands of his ancestors had something to do with Mu Huai'an.

Ever since Mu Huai'an entered the mansion, he never took his eyes off Mu Huai'an.

A good match.

What a match!

Thinking about it, Li Anlin was Tanhua Lang handpicked by the emperor, and his appearance was not bad, but compared with Mu Huai'an, it was nothing like mud.

Mu Huai'an's appearance, demeanor and family background...

With his family, A Yao, that is a match made in heaven!

After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Mu Huai'an knew that this was Shen Lingxi's handwriting again.

He didn't know that Shen Ji was playing tricks on him, and he was only thinking about how to speak to Shen Ji to be important to him.

After Wu Zuo finished the autopsy, Mu Huai'an thought it over again, and said straight to the point: "The body was discovered by the daughter of your mansion, and it needs to be stored in Fu'an Hall. During the investigation of the case, it is inevitable to ask Miss Wu to assist. Please let Marquis Shen do a favor." It's convenient, let the fifth girl handle the case with the junior for a few days. Don't worry, the junior will keep his subordinates tight-lipped and will never leak the news, which will ruin the reputation of the girl."

The more Shen Ji looked at Mu Huai'an, the more pleasing he felt.

I can't wait to ask my ancestor immediately to make him and A Yao a pair.

For Mu Huai'an's request, it is natural that there is no response.

"It's okay, it's okay." Shen Ji put on a look of understanding, "This case is related to the reputation of my Shen family, as long as the murderer can be caught as soon as possible, if she is useful, just let her go."

Anyway, Shen Lingxi's reputation is already like this, no matter how bad it is, it can go so badly.

Mu Huai'an didn't expect things to be so easy, and smiled, "Then thank you, Lord Hou."

"Nephew, you're welcome." Shen Ji warmly approached, "Your father and I used to drink and play together when we were young, but he has never been in the capital these years, so we seldom see each other."

Mu Huai'an complimented, "Father once said that among these uncles in the capital, you have the closest relationship with him, and he always misses you."

"Okay! Okay!" Shen Ji laughed loudly, the previous anger was no longer on his face.

Shen Lingxi lowered her head, looked at her nose with her eyes, her mouth with her nose, and her heart with her mouth. She seemed gentle and submissive, but she didn't care at all what Mu Huai'an and Shen Ji were playing.

She doesn't like the feeling of being exchanged like this.

However, since she could leave the house openly and freely, it was barely acceptable.

Seeing how docile she is, Shen Ji felt that this daughter was more pleasing to the eye.

He changed his mind, smiled kindly, and asked warmly: "Lingxi, I heard that the body of the bride who came to worship with Li An the night before is stored in your Fu'an Hall?"

After the accident in Li's residence, the Xuanping Hou Mansion announced to the outside world that the person who visited the hall with Li An that night was not Shen Yuyao, but the "ghost bride" Yaoniang.

Fortunately, Shen Yuyao kept her head covered during the wedding ceremony, and no one saw her true face.After the accident, Shen Yuyao took advantage of the chaos and ran out of the Li residence with the maids and wives, allowing the Xuanping Hou Mansion to carry back her dowry logically.

Now that the marriage is over, there is only one less chance to tell the world.

"Exactly." Shen Lingxi replied sadly: "Yao Niang and Li Anlin were married once, and she was Li Anlin's original wife. Now she has no relatives in this world. The Li family's mother and son are her only relatives. Dali Temple closed the case and sentenced Li Anlin and Yaoniang to death, so that others can bury Yaoniang's body."

Yaoniang's body can only be regarded as being stored in Fu'an Hall by Dali Temple. Even Shen Lingxi couldn't bury her if Dali Temple didn't produce documents.

However, from Shen Lingxi's point of view, Yaoniang's soul has already been reincarnated, and it doesn't matter when the body is buried.

It's just that before Yijue, she was still Li's wife, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"It doesn't need to be so troublesome." Shen Ji looked gently at Mu Huai'an, "Nephew, Yaoniang is my fourth girl's savior. The fourth girl has always told me that I am very grateful to her and wants to bury her. You see How about this, in my name, take Yao Niang as a righteous daughter, so she will be considered as having relatives alive, I wonder if Dali Temple can accommodate me?"

"It's just a trivial matter, Master Hou will ask it himself, and this junior will take care of it for you." Mu Huai'an reciprocated, very kindly.

"Then it's settled." Shen Ji was very satisfied, and told Shen Lingxi generously: "For these two days, let A Yao go with you to Fu'an Hall, don't you know how to do things for nothing? Yaoniang is doing a dirty affair, the bigger the noise, the better, it is best to let the people in the city know, I will pay all the expenses!"

Shen Lingxi finally understood how this half-way father who thought she was "unlucky" would suddenly take the initiative to ask her to do nonsense.

The scenery is beautiful, which means regardless of the cost.

She would never push away the business at the door, so she obediently agreed.

Shen Ji turned his head and told Mu Huai'an solemnly: "Nephew, my two daughters... will be entrusted to you to take care of them for a few days."

two daughters.

Mu Huai'an's eyes fluttered slightly, his lips curled up, and he responded with a smile.

*
With Shen Ji's permission, Shen Lingxi pointed out to Mu Huai'an the south room of the warehouse that Ming An had previously asked Ming An to seal with a spell.

And she herself returned to Fu'an Hall directly following the assistants and Yacha who transported Liu Si's body.

In Sheng Xia, the body that had been drowned for three days had already begun to rot. It was very difficult to clean and repair, and the process was difficult to describe.

Shen Lingxi worked hard for four full hours before restoring Liu Si's body to look almost the same as his soul last night.

Liu Si finally dared to show his ghost in front of Shen Lingxi.

The man, who was over seven feet tall, lay on top of his dead body, weeping so hard that he couldn't make a sound.

Shen Lingxi herself is a person who died once, and has seen many such scenes in the past few years, and knows that people who die suddenly will have two hurdles to pass after death.

One is that you can't let go of the fact that you are "dead".Not reconciled to my own life, how could it end here.Resentment, anger, hatred, sadness, and many other emotions are born, and the soul lingers for a long time.

The second is that they are reluctant to part with their close relatives, afraid that they will be sad, worried that they will have a difficult and unhappy life in the future, and are reluctant to reincarnate.

But the deceased is gone, turned into a ray of dead souls, even if there are all kinds of unwillingness and reluctance, they can only watch on the sidelines, powerless.

She comforted her voice: "Tomorrow Dali Temple will let people from the Hou Mansion come to identify the body, and your family will know about your death soon... I went to the scene of the crime today, and the murderer may not be that simple. Your family is safe and sound, you still have to investigate the case and find out the reason why the other party must kill you. The matter has come to this point, we have to look forward."

"Young lady is right." Liu Si wiped away tears, "Today I went to protect my mother-in-law, and I saw those two idiots following her, so I followed them to find out their details, and saw that they entered a gambling house..."
