The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 68 Heart Lake
Do you have the nerve to ask this?

Yan Sanhe snorted coldly, stood up and walked out.

"Apart from explaining to you that it's a waste of time, I spend all my time doing business."

Pei Xiao's expression was a little cracked.

Ji Lingchuan whispered: "I told you to be troublesome!"

"Uncle, who am I doing this for?"

Ji Lingchuan glared at him and said, "Stop talking and follow me quickly!"

In the courtyard, Xie Zhifei came up to him, looked at Yan Sanhe and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"Miss, ma'am..."

At this moment, Li Buyan came in like a gust of wind.

Seeing everyone standing in the courtyard, she grinned with a sweet smile, then walked to Yan Sanhe, covered her mouth and whispered a few words.

After Yan Sanhe listened, he turned to look at Li Buyan.

Li Buyan nodded slightly.

Pei Xiao's expression was a little cracked again——

Bodhisattva, why can’t these two goddesses openly tell you what they are trying to do?
Damn, I really want to know!

"Miss Yan?"

Also curious is Ji Lingchuan.

Yan San glanced at him and said coldly: "Go to Heart Lake first."

"Can I go to Heart Lake?" Xie Zhifei, who was left aside, smiled.

Yan Sanhe raised his eyebrows, "Mr. Xie is very free?"

"It's not very leisurely."

Xie Zhifei touched his chin and smiled again: "The main reason is that it's almost dinner time and I want to ask Uncle Ji for a meal."

The old lady on the other side of the lake won't hide any secrets.

Ji Lingchuan said hurriedly: "Together, together."

Yan Sanhe didn't mind seeing the suffering master, so naturally he didn't say anything. After giving Li Buyan a look, the two of them walked out side by side.

Xie Zhifei grabbed Pei Xiao's neck and said in a low voice, "What did you find?"

"fart!"

……

Yan Sanhe originally thought that the Heart Lake was just a small river dug out of the back garden of Ji's Mansion, but when he actually saw it, he was shocked.

It turned out to be a very large river, with an embankment in the middle and a small bridge built on the embankment.

Ji Lingchuan pointed to a waterside pavilion by the river and said, "The old lady likes to sit there, and she can sit there for a long time."

Yan Sanhe asked: "When was this heart lake built?"

Ji Lingchuan: "About seven years ago, it used to be a garden. The old lady said water was wealth, so I asked someone to dig this lake."

On the side, Xie Zhifei and Pei Xiao exchanged glances.

The prince handed over the water transportation to Ji Lingchuan about seven years ago. At that time, he started to be greedy. Otherwise, where would he have the money to dig such a big lake?

"Don't say anything. You stay here with them while I go to the waterside pavilion to take a look."

"Miss Yan, wait a moment, I will accompany you there."

An arm blocked the way.

Li Buyan smiled and said, "Master Ji, please don't follow me."

"This……"

Ji Lingchuan looked at Pei Xiao and Xie Zhifei, a little at a loss.

Xie Zhifei hesitated for a moment, then decided to break the casserole and ask, "Why can't we follow?"

"because……"

Li Buyan blinked, "Will the turbidity in a man affect my young lady's thinking?"

Men: "..."

Pei Xiao realized that she was cursing in a roundabout way, and she was very angry, "Li Buyan..."

"I'm just kidding, why do you take Mr. Pei seriously? Calm down, calm down!"

Still calm? ? ?
Pei Xiao roared in his heart.

Bodhisattva, is there still room in the Lei Feng Pagoda by the West Lake?

Hurry and suppress this goddess!

Amitabha!
……

The waterside pavilion is very exquisitely covered. It is an elegant place to enjoy the coolness and look at the willows in the summer, and to keep warm and enjoy the snow in the winter.Yan Sanhe stands near the water, his brows furrowed.

Li Buyan just said three things in her ear:
The first thing is that there are indeed no dogs in the Ji Mansion, but there are quite a few cats;
The second thing is that the small garden behind the old lady’s yard is planted not with flowers, but with a vegetable garden, which has become deserted because no one has taken care of it.

The third thing: The old lady never lived in this yard before. She moved in about eight or nine years ago.

The vegetable garden shows that the old lady's family background was not good when she was a girl. When she was old, she could not imitate the elegance of a noble girl in the capital who did not touch the sun and only loved to admire the flowers and the moon.

The courtyard made Yan Sanhe a little doubtful again:
It stands to reason that if the elderly are used to living in one place, they will rarely move.

Did the old lady really move here because she liked that piece of bamboo?

Or is there another reason?

If there is another reason, what could it be?
The process of dissolving thoughts and demons is like peeling an onion, layer by layer, revealing the clearest true face of the person, which may be beautiful, ugly, or both.

"Old lady, what kind of person are you?"

At this moment, Yan Sanhe became truly interested in Mr. Hu.

At this moment, Xie Zhifei's eyes froze.

She stood by the water, her pale green singlet moving with the wind, just like the lone star in the sky at dawn, looking so lonely and out of sight from a distance.

"Lone Star" walked towards them and walked up to Ji Lingchuan.

"Miss Yan, have you discovered anything?"

"Heart Lake is beautiful."

Ji Lingchuan: "..."

Yan Sanhe looked at him and suddenly asked, "How many people in the house know about the old lady's coffin being unable to be closed?"

Ji Lingchuan didn't expect Yan Sanhe to suddenly ask this.

"I didn't tell anyone. The old slaves who looked at the cemetery were also transferred from the village. They have been with me for many years and they are very tight-lipped."

"Uncle, you can really keep your composure. If it were me..."

"So that means that except you, no one in the Ji family knows about this matter, including your wife?"

After Yan Sanhe finished speaking, he glanced at Pei Xiao: Why does this kid like to interrupt so much?

Pei Xiao rolled his eyes silently: Why does this goddess like to interrupt others so much?

Ji Lingchuan broke into cold sweat again, gritted his teeth and said, "To be fair to Miss Yan, since I was dismissed from office, people in the house have been in panic, and the matter of transforming thoughts and demons is too strange, I..."

Yan Sanhe: "Are you afraid that some of the old lady's secrets will be revealed?"

Ji Lingchuan was struck by what she said and looked helpless, "She is my mother after all. What if..."

Yan Sanhe: "Your idea is not wrong."

"what?"

This sound came out of Ji Lingchuan and Pei Xiao's mouths almost at the same time.

"Now we have a problem."

Yan Sanhe: "You have burned all the old lady's things and left no clues. If I want to find out the truth bit by bit, I will ask three groups of people for questioning."

"One group is people who have served the old lady; another group is the closest sons and daughters-in-law; and the other group is the younger generation like Ming Ting."

Xie Zhifei: "Miss Yan, am I right?"

Yan Sanhe: "So, you don't need to bask in the sun!" He has enough brains.

Xie Zhifei's expression was a little cynical: "Thank you for the compliment."

Yan Sanhe didn't have time to talk to him.

"I am an insignificant outsider. I don't have the mystery of Goddess. Many people will not tell the truth and will become suspicious. Mr. Pei, are you right?"

Mr. Pei has serious doubts that you care about pointing out something against me!

Pei Xiao snorted: "It is indeed not a deterrent, and it is indeed easy to make people suspicious!"

"so!"

Yan Sanhe's cold gaze fell on Ji Lingchuan again.

"You have to make a choice, whether to confess the matter or continue to hide it for the sake of face. The former saves time and effort; the latter, we will take a lot of detours."

Ji Lingchuan's face was solemn, his brows were tightly knitted together, and he was speechless for a long time.

"I have an idea, I wonder if it's feasible?"

Everyone looked at Mr. Xie, who looked at Ji Lingchuan with doubtful eyes: "Can Uncle Ji trust me?"

Ji Lingchuan couldn't answer this question even more.

"If Uncle Ji can trust me, I will tell the Soldiers and Horses Division to investigate the case. This way, I can ensure that they tell the truth without making them suspicious."

Xie Zhifei smiled leisurely at Yan Sanhe.

"What do you think, Miss Yan?"
