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

Chapter 50
Mu Huai'an hadn't exhausted the complaints in his heart, when Shen Lingxi took the square handkerchief, wiped away his tears, and thanked him softly.

He only felt that the veil was very intrusive, and subconsciously touched his sleeve pocket.

He has no cleanliness.

Never wear a handkerchief.Falling behind for no reason.

He simply reached out and took back the handkerchief considerately, "Go ahead, I'll hold it for you."

Chu Yan's eyes darkened.

Cui's mother, who was on the side, saw the guard's murderous expression, and hurriedly took out a purse from her sleeve, and presented it to Shen Lingxi, "Girl, the second master usually likes to entertain people with golden scorpions. She said that the golden scorpion is too small to be swallowed to death, but she still has to eat some, and the right is to swallow this to death."

"The old ancestor said, let the second master know that she died for him. He also said that after she passed away, let the servants give this bag of gold to the second master in person, hoping that he will truly repent for the rest of his life and be vigilant at all times. live."

Shen Lingxi looked at the purse with a complicated expression.

The old ancestor was sober all his life, but in the end he still hoped that "snakes and scorpions can cleanse their hearts, and animals can change their faces."

That being the case, she couldn't let Shen Liang die easily, she had to let him live.

In this world, there are many places, which are colder and more terrifying than the underworld, making life worse than death.

"Give me this purse, I'll get it to him." Shen Lingxi took the purse and said quietly.

"No need to give it!"

At this moment, an angry voice came from the door, "This bastard, I was blind in my lifetime, and I was blinded by lard, so I believed what he said. The gold was exchanged for chaff to feed pigs and dogs. It's better than giving him this wolf-hearted beast!"

Shen Lingxi turned her head in surprise, and saw the old ancestor angrily walking in from the door, followed by a magpie with a careful smile on his face.

"Just now in Shen Liang's courtyard, the ancestor saw him with his own eyes, holding Cui Yuan in his room and laughing silently, without shedding a single tear." Magpie said with a complex expression.

"Eh……"

Shen Lingxi called out subconsciously, and realized that there were other people in the room, so she quickly stopped talking and winked at the magpie vigorously.

Only then did Magpie realize that the evil god was also in the room, and hurriedly stopped the ancestor at the door, "Slow down, stay away from that man in black, or you will be ejected by him."

The old ancestor stopped and looked at Chu Yan, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

After only a few breaths of time, Shen Lingxi suddenly made a sound, and her eyes fluttered.

No matter how you conceal it, it will eventually attract the attention of several people in the room.

They followed her gaze and looked towards the door suspiciously.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Shen Ji, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, walked in from the door with a sullen face.

Seeing several people in the room all staring at him, Shen Ji felt alert instantly.

Are these people acting guilty?
"Shen Lingxi, you send everyone out, what are you doing sneakily? Are you planning to do an autopsy on your ancestor?"

As Shen Ji said, he rushed straight to the old ancestor's bed, seeing that the yellow mounting paper covering the face was indeed peeled off by her, and he was immediately furious.

"You are so brave. If I don't come back to see, are you, you, are you really planning to secretly open up the body of the ancestor?"

This time, Shen Lingxi rarely made a sound, and only looked at the nothingness beside Shen Ji.

The ancestor's dead soul, together with the magpie, avoided the range of Chu Yan's bounce, and floated to Shen Ji's side.

"Girl, tell him the truth." The old ancestor said solemnly: "I was determined to go my own way before, and I was always worried that the boss was stupid and afraid that he would be fooled by others, so I thought about everything for him, so I put him away. Cultivate this look of well-developed limbs, simple mind, and soft ears..."

"Now that I'm gone, the eldest brother is like a father. He needs to know the truth. If you interfere in punishing the second child, if outsiders know about it, it will hurt your reputation. You have to let your father come."

Shen Lingxi refused to comment on this, following the wishes of her ancestors.

She showed off to Shen Ji, "I really wanted to do an autopsy."

Immediately, Shen Ji looked like "it seems to be right for me", and raised his voice, "I knew that your intentions were not right! You have evil intentions!"

This pair of jumping feet looks so that the ancestors simply couldn't see it.

"Girl, you... just treat him as a lack of heart, don't be as knowledgeable as him." The old ancestor said with a headache, his tone was full of apology, "Compared with the second child, he is better than the second child because he is clean at the bottom of his heart..."

The ancestor lived his whole life and was respected by others, and he had to make amends for the "good boy" after his death.

Shen Lingxi sighed in her heart.

"Mother Cui, tell Lord Hou about the cause of your ancestor's death." Shen Lingxi didn't bother to argue with Shen Ji, "Master Hou listened patiently, and it won't be too late to scold me."

Mother Cui originally wanted to listen to her ancestors and kept the matter a secret.

But now that Shen Lingxi asked her to say it in front of Shen Ji, she had no choice but to tell the whole story again.

"How is this possible?!" Shen Ji was full of astonishment, "It's impossible! Mama Cui, what advantage did this girl give you to make you spend so much time arranging for her?"

I don't believe it at all.

The old ancestor never expected it to be like this, looked at him in disbelief, feeling like a lump in his throat, and didn't know what to say.

Shen Lingxi was not surprised at all, "Grandma's body is here, if Lord Hou doesn't believe it, I'll cut the gold out and show Lord Hou a look, how about it?"

Shen Ji stopped.

It has to be said that, when Shen Lingxi really said that, he actually believed it a little bit.

"Didn't it be said that there were people from Yinyue Pavilion in the Temple of Longevity, that's why your second uncle was innocently implicated and arrested in the Beiya?" He poked his neck, "Once the investigation is clear, your second uncle will naturally be released. Why is it so serious that the ancestors have to trade their lives for it?"

Shen Lingxi was amazed.

How on earth did he manage to be ignorant of what was happening right under his nose?

What is he thinking about on weekdays?
The old ancestor explained weakly, "I was afraid that he would slip up in front of the emperor about the embroidered handkerchief, so I didn't tell him more..."

And Shen Ji at the side spoke again, "Even if the ancestor really committed suicide by swallowing gold, he was also bewitched by others..."

"Shen Lingxi, is that you?!" He suddenly thought of something, as if enlightened, he pointed to Shen Lingxi, "These days you have been hanging out with the Dali Temple Yamen and Embroidered Clothes Envoys, you must have instructed Cui Mama , arranging it in front of the ancestors will cause the ancestors to be overwhelmed..."

"Brains are a good thing, but it's a pity you don't have one." Chu Yan couldn't listen any longer, and interrupted him with a cold voice, "Is it because the files and statements from the Beiya were thrown in your face to believe her words?"

"You are just a bodyguard, who are you scolding..." Before he could say the word, Shen Ji was intimidated by the sudden aura of the other party's body, and he barely spoke.

He suddenly remembered this person.

Last time this person came with Mu Huai'an, he should not be an ordinary guard, but an embroidered envoy.

Don't mess with it.

Shen Ji turned his head to look at Mu Huai'an, and softened his tone, "Nephew, you guard doesn't understand..."

Before he could say the word "rules", he felt the extremely cold eyes of the man, and he changed his words again, "It's very straightforward, and the words are harsh, and the words are good. My brain...is not working very well recently."

Mu Huai'an smiled and asked: "Since Marquis Shen knows the truth, how do you plan to deal with your good brother?"

　The death method of swallowing gold originated from Chapter 60 of No. [-] of A Dream of Red Mansions, where the second sister You committed suicide by swallowing gold.

　　This time it is really new.
