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

Chapter 65 Is Another Me
Shen Lingxi's answer made the chill in Mu Huai'an's eyes a little less.

He was very satisfied, "It is enough to have you. Don't worry, I will convey it to him verbatim."

After that, he seemed to suddenly think of something, he pleaded guilty, got up and walked to the window, and politely told Chu Yan, "I remembered, there is an official document left on the table in the study in the mansion, please take it for me Yamen."

This is to ask him to avoid the meaning.

There was no trace of emotional change on Chu Yan's face, and he stood up neatly, as if he was the most dedicated guard.

Just before leaving, his eyes met Mu Huaian's for a moment.

The coldness in those eyes made Mu Huai'an's pupils tremble unconsciously.

Fortunately, the next moment, Chu Yan looked away.

Without squinting, she passed by Shen Lingxi and left the room.

Mu Huai'an stood at the door, watching Chu Yan go downstairs, his figure was cold and lonely, and he left without looking back.

Although things are somewhat different from what was expected, in the end, it can be regarded as achieving the goal.

Now, this person should give up completely.

It wasn't until Chu Yan's figure disappeared at the door of the inn that Mu Huai'an returned to the room.

Shen Lingxi waited patiently for his answer, "Shaoqing has already thought about it, when do you plan to come to the house to withdraw from the marriage?
Mu Huai'an saw that her eyes implied hope, and the smile on her beautiful face was a little sweeter and softer than usual.

He felt very uncomfortable, and slightly hooked his lips, revealing a careless smile.

"When did Ben Shaoqing promise to divorce you?"

Shen Lingxi: "You just..."

Mu Huai'an: "I did, and I never promised."

"My grandmother keeps her promises the most. Since she promised your grandmother to take good care of you, she will keep her promise. Whether you want to marry or not, this marriage cannot be withdrawn."

Shen Lingxi didn't expect that he would have such a nonchalant attitude, and a little surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Shaoqing's character is precious. You and I have known each other for a long time and have always helped each other. There is no need to go to this point. I have explained this marriage clearly to you. Do you really plan to be a quarrelsome couple with me?" She tried to reason with him.

"Whether you are resentful or not, you have to get married first to know."

Mu Huai'an walked up to her with a faint smile, squeezed the fan bone tightly with his slender hands, and tapped his palm lightly.

"Even if you and I become a bitter couple, I, Mu Huai'an, want you, Shen Lingxi, to be my wife."

"I might as well tell you one more thing. This marriage is no longer in the hands of you and me."

He looked at her.After learning that he was going to marry her, the joy of anticipation and anticipation that had been lingering in his eyes had been covered by deeper emotions.

"Before I came to the banquet today, I heard that my grandmother had asked the empress to issue a marriage decree for you and me, and asked Qin Tianjian to calculate the auspicious time. According to the will of the old ancestor of the Shen family, we two became married with filial piety. Seven days later It is the auspicious day of your wedding. If you want to retire from this marriage, either you will lose your husband or I will lose your wife, otherwise it is absolutely impossible. If you have the ability to make the empress change this order, then I will Mu Huaian also has nothing to say."

Shen Lingxi: ...

Coming out of the Heming Tower, Shen Lingxi looked calm, as if she wasn't worried at all about how this irrevocable marriage would affect her.

She went to the mass grave alone.

The magpie had no relatives and no reason in the capital, and he died on a crime. His body was carried out from the Temple of Longevity that day, and after the autopsy, he was buried in a mass grave.

A shallow pit, a handful of loess, barely covered the remains.

On the loess, many yellow paper charms painted with cinnabar were pressed with stones.

Given what the magpie did during his lifetime, he was lucky not to have his body exposed in the wilderness, and to be picked up by a wild dog.

Ever since Shen Lingxi got to know Magpie, she has always had more disgust than compassion for her.

But what Shen Lingxi didn't expect was that on the second day after the ancestor's soul dissipated, Magpie, who had disappeared for many days again, took the initiative to find her and made a deal with her with the secret of longevity.

"I heard from Liu Si that as long as the reward is right, you will agree to make a deal with the undead and do things for the undead. I... have nothing to show for it. I have been squatting at the Temple of Longevity these days and figured out their activities. They have harmed many women, if you can get rid of them, it will be a great merit. I have already explored those secret passages, and there is also an agency that hides confidential documents in the master's room, so I can show you the way."

Shen Lingxi still remembers that day when she saw the embarrassed look on Magpie's face for the first time, "I just want you to control my body, teach Shen Liang a lesson for me, and by the way... save Cui Yuan's life."

"Don't you hate Cuiyuan to death? You should be happy that she has ended up like this. Why do you want to save her?" Shen Lingxi asked curiously.

"She is another me." On the face of Magpie, there is a rare look of sorrow like a rabbit dying and a fox. "I have already lost the chance to live. I only hope that after she wakes up, she can have a glimmer of life. Saving her is also saving the past. me."

Shen Lingxi complied with her request.

Because the magpie led the way all the way, Shen Lingxi was able to arrange everything in the shortest time, and acted out the grand drama of the concept of longevity.

Without the magpie, Cui Yuan would continue to suffer until the moment of her death.

Perhaps one day, someone will discover the secret of longevity concept.

Maybe it's Shen Lingxi, maybe it's someone else.

It's just that it won't be so fast, and it won't be so thorough.

In the undiscovered time, perhaps more people will be murdered.

At this moment, Shen Lingxi stood in front of the magpie's grave, looking at her fainter shadow, and told her about the arrangements made with Chunjun in the Heming Tower.

In the end, Shen Lingxi said seriously, "These are all your merits."

Magpie smiled, and tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

"Thank you, Shen Lingxi. It is thanks to you that a person like me who has died without guilt can have such merits."

Magpie walked up to Shen Lingxi and clung to her ear, "As a reward, before I leave, I will tell you one more thing..."

The voice gradually became inaudible, and together with her soul shadow, it turned into tiny rays of light and disappeared into the sunlight...

*
In the early morning of the second day, the queen's decree of marriage and the Mu family's dowry were delivered to Xuanpinghou's mansion at the same time.

The wedding date is set to be six days later.

Shen Ji accepted Yi's decree on behalf of his daughter, formally exchanged Geng stickers and tokens with Mu's family, and then personally led the people to Wangxian Village.

This is a marriage arranged by the ancestor before his death, and even the patriarch who protects Shen Lingxi will fully support it.

Naturally, Shen Ji used the coffin shop and the Fu'an Hall as bargaining chips to force Shen Lingxi to be taken back to the Hou's mansion. In the name of preparing for marriage, he locked her in the Jingsiyuan and cut off everyone's visits.

At the same time, the news that Xuan Ping Hou was going to marry a daughter after more than a month was also spreading in the capital...
