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

Chapter 35 Inheritance of Will
Seeing that Mu Huai'an had received the letter since receiving the letter, Chu Yan smiled with a look of worthlessness, and frowned.

"How is the investigation of the Xuanpinghou Mansion case going? Have you brought the file?"

Mu Huai'an hurriedly submitted the dossier, and explained the results of the investigation in Dali Temple, and finally said: "Now the evidence all points to the dead maid Xi Que, the ancestor of the Shen family is ill, we are not good without evidence Come to bother."

Chu Yan flipped through the file and asked casually: "So, you said earlier that your two families are going to get married, but you have put it on hold?"

"That's not true..." Mu Huai'an said halfway, remembering the prejudice against Shen Lingxi in front of him, and hurriedly changed his words, "Ah yes! Shelved."

Chu Yan raised his eyes to look at him, and closed the file, "Since it has been put on hold, the old lady of the Shen family is unwell, and Marquis Xuan Ping is in good health. Have you ever summoned him and listened to his confession? Just remember, the Shen family is still in good health. There is a second room..."

"Your Highness really knows things like a god." Mu Huai'an cut off his words, picked up the letter in his hand, and shook it in front of his eyes, "Isn't it just a coincidence that Shen Lingxi was sent by the secret guard just now?" The letter said that she had found out some clues at the mansion, and asked me to go to the mansion tomorrow to cooperate with her, so I just took the opportunity to talk to Xuan Pinghou."

"Alright." Chu Yan handed the file back to him, brushed off his sleeves, and said casually: "Gu's recovery is almost complete, and it happens to be fine tomorrow, so I'll go to Xuanpinghou's mansion with you and listen to what they have to say, It also saves you an extra trip to deliver the message."

Mu Huaian:? ? ?

On the second day, Shen Lingxi reckoned the time, stepped on Shen Ji's next court, and the time when Shen Liang and Shen Liang went to meet their ancestors.

He took the delivery catalog with "Kaisi Songhe Tuanfan" and an embroidery frame embroidered with a few stitches, and went to Songzhuyuan.

On the way, Liu Si told Shen Lingxi what Shen Ji said yesterday when he left the Jingsiyuan and went to see Shen Liang.

"Master Hou told the second master exactly what the girl told him. When the second master heard that the Dali Temple and the embroidery envoy wanted to check the 'embroidered handkerchief', his expression was a little wrong. He just evaded and said that he didn't know, so he found an excuse. past."

"The second master told Hou Ye that he had made a fortune for the ancestor, saying that the fourth girl's marriage failed this time, and that the evil spirits were brought in to hurt the ancestor's life, and that another marriage must be arranged as soon as possible. All right, the family is in harmony and everything is going well, nothing can happen to the family, if the girl's marriage proposal is delayed, it may hurt the future luck of the family."

It is "home and everything prospers" again.

It seems that Shen Ji's words were probably brainwashed by Shen Liang.

When Magpie saw Liu Si telling Shen Liangna about Shen Liangna, he was so angry that he punched and kicked him, "A villain with a long tongue!" Then he scolded Shen Lingxi, "You are cheating! You pretend to be smart, and you are not good at winning. Don't let Liu Si eavesdrop if you have the ability!"

Shen Lingxi glanced at her, and said lightly: "You can also tell Shen Liang what we said, why don't you go?"

"Shameless!" The magpie's eyes turned red with anger, and no longer caring about the previous fear, she flung her teeth and claws at Shen Lingxi!

Her soul body passed through Shen Lingxi's body like a gust of wind, but unexpectedly, she was not bounced away violently like when she was in Fu'an Hall.

Although he couldn't do anything to Shen Lingxi, Magpie suddenly realized that Shen Lingxi didn't have the ability to bounce her soul away at all, and that day in the field, he was just defrauding her again.

"Shen Lingxi, do you think I can't do anything to you?" Magpie walked in front of her, grinning sadly, "Even if I can't do anything to you, you can always see me and hear me, right? , let me see how you can avoid me."

She was very close, that lifeless and black face was hanging in front of Shen Lingxi's eyes.

Although it is a transparent soul body, it is really too close. Even if Shen Lingxi has developed the ability of "the elk is on the left but not blinking" in the past few years, she can't completely ignore it.

What's more, Magpie said to her with her throat closed: "Fifth Miss, I'll sing you an excerpt of The Story of the West Chamber..."

Shen Lingxi: ...

At this time, Shen Lingxi was very envious. Chu Yan was born with the fate of a lone star, at least when he wanted to be quiet, he could be quieter.

While speaking, they had already entered the upper room of Songzhuyuan.

No matter how bad the environment was, Shen Lingxi had no choice but to cheer up and try his best to eliminate the interference.

Shen Liang was still wearing the homely Taoist robe from yesterday, standing beside his ancestor, serving the decoction with his own hands.

The mother and son were talking and laughing, creating a harmonious scene.

Maybe she didn't use the problematic hair oil, and because she was in a good mood, Mrs. Wang's complexion looked much more energetic than yesterday.

When the magpie saw Shen Liang, there was a look of infatuation and resentment in his eyes, and he actually began to babble in front of Shen Lingxi's eyes, "The blue sky, the field of yellow flowers, the west wind is tight, and the geese fly south. Who comes to be stained with frost and drunk in the forest? Always tears away from others...Hate seeing each other too late, resentment going back sick. Liusi's jade is hard to tie, hate the sparse forest to hang on the twilight..." 1
Without squinting, Shen Lingxi stepped forward to salute.

When she was seated at the side, she suddenly saw Cui Yuan who was accompanying her, and with a thought, she waved to Cui Yuan.

"I want to embroider a veil of Dielianhua, please ask Sister Cuiyuan to pick out some silk threads for me."

Cuiyuan did not suspect him, took the lacquer box containing silk thread from the old lady's room, stood beside Shen Lingxi, and carefully helped her pick it up.

"Girl, see if this color is okay... Try this again..."

Coming from Cuiyuan, and hearing the words "Die Lian Hua", the magpie couldn't continue singing.

If eyes can turn into knives, Cui Yuan must have been gouged out by magpies several times.

Shen Lingxi finally calmed down a little.

It just so happened that Mrs. Wang had just used up the decoction. Seeing that she had come here for the first time in person today, she smiled and joked: "I asked you to check the accounts, but you came to me to hide from laziness and embroider butterfly and love flowers. Could it be that you have someone you like and want to marry someone? In Shen Fugui's letter to me, there are thousands of reminders, and he must marry you before three months."

Shen Lingxi's heart skipped a beat.

She really didn't expect that before A Weng left, he would find someone to inherit his old man's behest.

No wonder you have to think so much at the end, it seems that you still have a bit of confidence...

It does not matter.

"It's not considered lazy." Shen Lingxi put away the interrupted thoughts, took out the warehouse catalog with a smile, and walked to the ancestor's bed, "Here is a record of going out of the warehouse. I don't think it's big. Righteous, and has some relationship with the second uncle, so I wanted to let the ancestors have a look, and let the second uncle take a look at it by the way, to get an idea."

Just as Shen Liang put down the medicine bowl in his hand, upon hearing the words, he turned his head and roughly scanned the catalogue, his usual elegant and calm expression unexpectedly gave him a rare pause.

At this moment, Shen Ji's rough voice came from outside the courtyard, "Nephew, with the relationship between our two families, you should come every day. Our ancestors were still talking about you yesterday..."

The smile on Shen Lingxi's face deepened.

Neither early nor late, Shen Ji and Mu Huai'an just arrived.
