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

Chapter 49 It's Not Worth It
Everyone present knew what Shen Lingxi was doing.

Since she said such words, for the sake of the ancestor's body, even Shen Ji dared not listen.

The black-haired man left the room in an instant.

Only Mother Cui, Qiao Xing, Mu Huai'an who stopped Shen Ji from slapping just now, and... Chu Yan who was standing in front of Shen Lingxi pretending to be a bodyguard.

At this moment, looking at Shen Lingxi's eyes, Mu Huai'an simply hated iron for being weak.

"Just because he is your biological father, are you so determined? You won't hide from him when he beats you?" Mu Huai'an said dissatisfiedly: "Shen Lingxi, you are so emotional, how can you go out with me to handle cases in the future? You're as cunning as a fox, if you soften your heart, you'll have to give up your life."

When Shen Lingxi heard this, her eyebrows jumped.

She hurriedly lowered her eyes, and said helplessly: "But he is my biological father after all, he owes me a debt of gratitude, even if he beats me to death, it is nothing more than giving my life back to him."

He also said regretfully, "In our business, the worst thing is to see people die. When life and death are at stake, emotions will definitely be used. Shaoqing went out to handle the case, so don't think about me. If not, it doesn't matter if I lose my life. It will drag Shaoqing down."

"It's okay." Mu Huai'an took a deep breath, "It's just a small problem, I can fix it for you. Even if you are really in danger, I will protect you."

Chu Yan rubbed his eyebrows.

He could see that this kid couldn't understand the words of rejection.

"You have to work harder with your skill." He pierced it mercilessly, "I heard that Ning Liulang saved her in Fu'an Hall last time."

Mu Huai'an had a look of disbelief.

As the chief culprit, it is really shameless to say such a thing!

Where's the face?Even if you wear a personal leather mask, at least you have to have face, right?
"What does this have to do with my skills? At that time, she hid well. It was you..." He hurriedly changed his words, "It was Ning Liulang who led the killer there. If not, would Shen Lingxi need him to save him?"

Chu Yan: ...

Shen Lingxi has no time to care about what the two of them are playing.

She asked Mother Cui and Qiao Xing to close the doors and windows of the room to cut off the heat outside.

He also ordered someone to bring an ice basin, wrapped ice cubes in a waterproof tarpaulin, and placed them under the body.

Then replace those incense sticks with Atractylodes saponins.

After doing this, he cleaned his hands and stepped forward to uncover the yellow mounting paper covering the body of the ancestor.

Although the ancestor's body declined for a period of time due to the bottle of hair oil during his lifetime, after he stopped using the hair oil, it can be considered that he will live for a while.

Her body was already healthy, even if she died this time, the face of the dead body did not show much abnormality, as if she had fallen asleep.

No wonder Qiao Xing said it was "happy funeral".

Shen Lingxi checked the body from top to bottom. The denomination, hairline, articulate tongue, exposed skin of hands and feet, etc. were all in normal color, and no scars were found.

As Qiao Xing said before, she walked cleanly.

But the more this is the case, it means that the real cause of death is hidden deeper.

Just now, Shen Lingxi's gaze had searched the room outside the courtyard several times, but he hadn't seen the dead ancestor's soul, so he didn't know where she had gone.

Since there is no way to inquire in person, the only way to know the cause of death is to do an autopsy.

Shen Lingxi ordered: "Qiaoxing, you go back to Jingsiyuan and get the bamboo tube from my cage." Then she turned to Mu Huai'an and said, "If anyone comes, please Shaoqing to help stop one or two, please let me know." I did an autopsy on my grandmother."

Mu Huai'an hadn't responded yet, but Cui's mother on the side had already plopped to her knees on the ground.

"Fifth Miss, you don't need to test again." Cui's mother said with a sad expression: "The old ancestor... swallowed the gold by herself. It is appropriate."

Shen Lingxi opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Why?"

"It's Cuiyuan... Cuiyuan told the old ancestor that she was pregnant with the second master's child, and she presented the old ancestor with a letter of repentance written in blood before the second master was taken away. The second master was born weak, The Second Household has never had any heirs, and now they finally have one, but the Second Master was arrested and taken to the Beiya..."

"The concubine in the palace is the handkerchief given by the ancestor when he was not out of the cabinet. After all, the ancestor felt sorry for the second master, wrote a book to the concubine, and took all the sins of the second master on her own body. He is willing to die and only asks the emperor to show mercy. Let the second master go..."

At the end, Cui's mother broke down in tears, "Girl, the old ancestor exchanged her life for the second master's life."

Shen Lingxi never imagined that the truth was like this.

Such a sensible person as the ancestor, how could he end up...

No wonder Shen Liang was released.

Cui Yuan, Xue Shu, the child who has been waiting for more than twenty years.

Heh, he really calculated the old ancestor thoroughly.

Shen Lingxi only felt that her heart was very stuffy, "Who in this mansion knows about this matter? Xuan Pinghou stopped you from doing an autopsy because of this matter?"

"Master Hou didn't know about it." Cui's mother hurriedly said: "Only the servant girl knew, but when the servant girl found out, the old ancestor had already swallowed the gold, and she left a letter to Master Hou, not wanting to cause any rift between the two brothers. , and did not explain the matter, only asked Lord Hou to treat the second room kindly, and arranged for the girl's marriage..."

"She has arranged everything, but she has not arranged for herself." Shen Lingxi said in a daze, her eyes fell on the corpse of the ancestor, her nose was slightly sour, "No, she also arranged for herself, she combed the hair for herself. Makeup, and put on a shroud, you have to leave clean.”

But to die by swallowing gold, it looks clean from the outside, but the gold falls in the stomach, the intestines are scratched, and the blood is blocked in the stomach, how can it be really clean?

Just like the death of an ancestor, outsiders may see it as a "happy mourning", but inside...

The pain of dying from falling into gold is something ordinary people can bear.

Not worth it, really not worth it.

Shen Lingxi stretched out her hand to straighten the shroud that was messed up just now for the old ancestor, feeling sorry for her, tears could not stop falling down.

Although she had known her ancestor not long ago, the old man had great kindness towards her from the beginning to the end.

Just like the dead Ah Ong.

If she had known this would happen early in the morning, she should have killed Shen Liang.

As if guessing what Shen Lingxi was thinking, a plain white brocade handkerchief was suddenly handed to her.

The owner of the veil said in a cold and indifferent voice: "It was the old lady who was blinded by a leaf to make such a decision. After all, this is a matter between their mother and child. Outsiders have no right to comment. No matter what they do, it will be in vain. You want Shen Liang to die right now, so I will kill him, there is no need to feel sad about it."

Mu Huaian:? ? ?

Brother, are you my bodyguard right now?Can the guard talk more than the master?

Even if you are not the bodyguard, you are still the embroidered commander who talks about the code of law all day long.

The second master of the Marquis Xuanping's mansion who ordered an amnesty at the emperor's feet, how could you allow you to kill him at his mansion?

Have you been washed, or have you been robbed?
