Chapter 48 The coffin enters the water
Zhao Guannan has always been in awe of his mother, and he agrees with all her arrangements.He is naturally willing to marry whomever his mother has chosen for him.

Not only that, since he and Xie Qingshu got engaged, he would send Xie Qingshu any weird and wonderful things.

When he returned to Beijing for the New Year last year, he wanted to visit Xie Qingshu, but she declined because it was inappropriate to meet before marriage.

From the bottom of his heart, he thought that Xie Qingshu was a well-educated and courteous lady, and he blamed himself for his presumptuous visit.

But when he really got to know Xie Qingshu, the lady in his impression disappeared without a trace.

I guess it was because I didn’t want to see him before, not because of etiquette, but because I simply didn’t like him!
Jiang Suchhang tugged on Lin Cai's sleeve and motioned for him to leave quickly and stop watching the fun.

Lin Cai reacted and left quickly with Jiang Sushang.

"I really can't afford the girl's love."

"Sir, you don't actually have a fiancée, right?" Xie Qingshu asked: "You just wanted to reject me, so you made up a fiancée to deceive me, right?"

"Yes, she is very beautiful in my impression. She has a good reputation, and my mother also thinks that she is knowledgeable, courteous, gentle and virtuous. I felt the same way before I met her." Zhao Guannan looked out of the window from a distance. Zhu Lin said regretfully: "But by chance, I discovered that she was not that good, so I decided to let my mother cancel the marriage."

Xie Qingshu's eyes showed surprise and she asked excitedly: "I'm fine. I will definitely be a good wife and serve your mother with all my heart."

"It won't be you, never." Zhao Guannan has no apparent identity. Even if he breaks off the engagement, he doesn't want Xie Qingshu to know his identity.

"Who did you fall in love with? Jiang Sushang, right? No, you almost killed her." Xie Qingshu analyzed: "It's Mei Xi, right? She's so good-looking, do you like her?"

Zhao Guannan didn't know how the famous Bachelor Xie educated his granddaughter?Even the daughter of an ordinary family would not be as extremely rude as her!

"You can't like Mei Xi." Xie Qingshu lowered her voice and whispered a few words.

After Zhao Guannan heard this, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide. He knew that Qilan had many secrets, but he didn't expect that Saint Qilan was actually a fake.

After lunch, everyone began the final competition.

There is a lake above the stream. The lake is calm and green with no bottom. There are two coffins on the floating boat on the shore.

"This last game is about being put into a coffin. If a coffin sinks in the water, it will not float. If a coffin falls into the water for a while, it will float. The one who floats wins."

The two coffins were painted black, and Jiang Sushang couldn't tell what kind of wood they were based on the material, but luckily Meixi marked them for her.

If she fakes her death, then Lin Cai will float.In this last game, there will be no life-threatening danger.

"I choose first." Jiang Sushang stepped forward and boarded the boat in a few steps. She stretched out her hand to touch the marks under the coffin board.

Pretending to think, she casually placed her hand on the coffin board and ran her fingers over the wood. Suddenly, she touched the mark. She paused and retracted her hand confidently. When she turned around, she saw Xie Qingshu smiling proudly, and her intuition told Jiang Su Shang, something is wrong!

She paid close attention and then touched another coffin. A moment later, she touched the same mark in the same position.

Jiang Sushang looked at Mei Xi with doubtful eyes, but Mei Xi looked confused and didn't know what was going on.

On the contrary, it was Wanguliu who urged: "Hurry up and choose!"

Jiang Sushang chose one at random, and did not forget to remind Lin Cai about the mechanism in the coffin.

Lin Cai was surprised for a moment when he heard Jiang Sushang's words.

He is in the lumber business. Even if it is painted black, based on many years of experience, he can tell at a glance which coffin can float?Which one will sink in?

He originally planned to leave the chance of life to Jiang Sushang, but when he heard Jiang Sushang talk about the mechanism, he couldn't help but feel that his decision was right.He was already despairing about his inability to have an heir, and wanted to do something worthwhile before he died.

Lin Cai saw Jiang Suchhang choose the coffin that sank and pushed her into another boat. Even if there was a chance of escape, he was a little worried that Jiang Suchhang would be deceived.

Let him leave the verification to this half-buried man!

The two lay down in the coffin, and the Qilan people came forward to seal the coffin with wooden nails. They carried the coffin in a small boat and rowed into the center of the lake, and threw the two coffins into the water. The coffins entered the water and splashed a lot of water.

The dark coffin sank into the water, and the people on the shore stared intently at the situation on the water.

"I guess she won't have good luck in the end." Xie Qingshu said confidently, but the people on her left and right didn't speak. She was so angry that she twisted her handkerchief, which was twisted and deformed by the force.

After a while, a coffin floated from the water.

The Qilan people pulled the coffin to the shore, and Wan Guliu reminded: "Open it quickly."

Mei Xi and Zhao Guannan also stepped forward to help. Mei Xi pushed Zhao Guannan's left hand away, "Your right hand is your dominant hand. When you use your left hand, you will use your right hand conditionally. Your right hand can no longer hold a sword. No matter what, you can't even hold chopsticks. It’s all difficult.”

Zhao Guannan stopped being a disservice and stepped aside, not forgetting to urge: "Hurry up and open it."

Xie Qingshu heard the mark on the coffin last night and thought it was floating, so she made the two coffins have the same mark.

She saw with her own eyes that the one Jiang Sushang got on was the one she marked, and she firmly believed that Jiang Suchang had drowned at the bottom of the lake.

Furthermore, she believed that Lin Cai, who was in the timber business, must be aware of the problems with timber.

Xie Qingshu stood on tiptoes, looking forward to opening the coffin. The person inside was Lin Cai.She has no interest in the elixir, and it has nothing to do with whoever wins.

Jiang Sushang had difficulty breathing intuitively, and she looked around for the mechanism Mei Xi mentioned.

She felt that Zhao Guannan was pinching her neck again.

"It's okay." Mei Xi was surprised for a moment when she saw Jiang Sushang.

Didn't he send someone to tell Jiang Sushang about the coffin with traces?

Although she will lose the game, she will be fine if she knows how to swim.

"Congratulations, the final winner." Wan Guliu said with a smile. He finally lived up to His Highness's expectations. He found a trial candidate for the elixir.

Jiang Sushang started working and looked at Xie Qingshu, "You must be disappointed! Xie Qingshu, I'm not dead."

Mei Xi frowned. He was trying to save Jiang Sushang, but Jiang Sushang didn't listen to her at all.

Jiang Sushang stood up from the coffin. She had just thought of the breakthrough in Honghua's death in despair.

If everyone's alibi is true, then the people in the sealed room were not killed by people outside.

That is, the person in the room killed someone!

The only person in the room is Honghua!
Therefore, he is both the perpetrator and the victim.
